There is considerable tall. here AZ n.
cause OF the rupture between Genersi
Miles and Secretary Alger. The facts ars.
and they come from q high military source.
that Alger tried to use Miles as clcet.
tried to make him furnish the brains q
run the campaign against Spain and allow
him (Alger) to reap the reward.
Alger first sent for old General Scho-
fleld and installed him in the inspector
generals office in an easy plush chair ana
told him to furnish gray matter for tie
war department. The old general did It
for few days until he dropped" 10 the
combination and then quit cold, Alrsr
then sent for Miles and wanted him u
play brain furnisher. but Miles said MT,
and handed HIM the ice pitcher. He thea
fell back on Corbin. who Is really ~ ad-
jutant general no more than q mead clerk
to General Miles. the head OF the army,
and the combination to down Milea waS
formed and pushed.
This is the story In nutshell, and II Y
the stdngieSt, dirtiest scheme ever hatshsd
II The American people are honest, how
ever. they will know how to resent 1t when
the report of the Alger relief commissoa
is made.
The fight ON Joe Bailey, as have said,
has about petered out, but few ncwspa.
pers are still keeping UP sort Of dasul,a
tory warfare and are now making ther
fight on Baileyls opposition to General
Joe Wheeler occupying two positions at 4
the same time. viz: congressman and ma.
jor general.
Who says Joe Bailey 10 wrong? Not enc
of the newspapers attacking him has had
the hardihood and unblushing effrontery
to claim that he Is wrong under the con-
stibution. They simply say that old 200
Wheeler is a patriotic man, grand fig.
ure in history, o brave, noble Old soul,
and all that sort OF thing, and therefore.
must not be disturbed while he walks On
the constitution. There Is nobody denying
all these kind things said OF Genetai /
