Assistant Surgeon Munson's report In
defense of the medical department dur
ing tho operations at Santiago, and with
reference to the conditions prevailing on
the transports Seneca and concho. IS a
vlndIcatIon OF that department, and
fixes responsibilities, from the officers
standpoint, elsewhere. In the matter of
the two transports, Captain Munson
seems to intimate that the blame for af-
fairs rests with the captains Of the
transports, and cites one instance OF a
refusal to dIsobey orders from Washing
ton on the part OF the captain of the
Seneca. He asserts that during his
own experience there were cases of In
subordlnatlon on the parts of the crews
of transports, amounting almost to
muuny, which could be only dealt with
by threats, force. and, in one case, by
the use of irons.
Thus 1t would seem that the trouble
in the matter of transports was in the
character Of the captains and crews.
Surgeon Munson's Recommendation that
the work Of fitting out transports for
the reception Of the sick and wounded
should always be entrusted to an ex-
perienced medical officer Is to the point
The government seems to be getting at

A letter from the president Of the
board Of regents nf the West Virginia
University, Hon. George C. sturgiss, of
Aforgantown, published in this morn
ing.s IntellIgencer. with reference to
some sensational newspaper publlca-
lions that have been made concerning
the summer term of the institution, is
the hrst official Notice that has been
taken Of them.
For some purpose or other there has
been going the rounds OF very few
papers some statements, lIbellous in
their nature, and totally without foun-
dation, concerning the administration
of the University, and placing unwar-
ranted construction on theories laid
down by DR.. Lester Ward. one Of the
instructors OF the summer term, who is
curator OF the Museum of Fossil Plants
in the Smithsonian Institution in WASH
ington. The Ilbeller OF this eminent
scientist has not been Satisfied to mis-
construa his theories, but has circulated
a vile story affecting his private char
acter, which is totally without founda-
tIon and is in itself enough to subject
the author to punishment under the
laws Of this state. The Intellisencer re-
grets to say that this article originally
appeared in a daily paper Of the state
which prides itself on its reputation for
yeracity. The Intelllgencer violates no
confidence In saying that ptoof-sheet
of the libel was furnished 1t through
the mail, with the comfortable assur-
ance that It need not be afraid to use

A generation has passed since the
battle cry of America was silenced by
the Angel Of Peace; SO long an interval
that even veterans have almost forgot
ten the part they played in the great
tragedy, while the masses, being with

the true Significance of war. Aroused
from our happy reverles and peaceful
pursuits By Cuba's appeals and Spain'S
inhumanlties, the plowshare again
gives place to the sword, and The ma
tlonal emblem is flung to the breeze
amid bugle blast and drum beat, that
echoes from shore to shore. "Our Nation
in War" Is the Photographic record OF
this conflict against Spanish barbarlsm
and cruelty. which will picture by pho
toEraph and graphic drawings the chief
incidents of our conflict with Spain,
and by reproduction Of the most IA
nous paintings In the galleries OF states
and the nation, will illustrate the
memorable events OF American history;
noted battles by land and sea; incl
dents Of thrilling herolsm; and repre-
sensations OF the ships, weapons, FORTH

country. thus presenting pictoriany and

ARMY NEEDS REoReANIzINe.

GENERAL McClellan's Son Derides 1t In
Congress.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-Debate on the
army appropriation bill in the house
was particularly notable for a vigorous
speech by Mr.. Mcclellan IN Y. }, a son of
General George B. Mcclellan, attacking
the present army organization as obso-
lete an inefficient. He asserted that we
were woefully uuprepared for war
should a crisis come and contended for
modern methods in organization, equip
ment and supplies which would enable
the United States to meet an emer-
gency.
Mr.. Lewis Wash. also made a speech
that attracted attention in denunciation
of trusts which he declared were threat
ening the liberties of the country.
Mr.. Lewis opposed any increase in the
army as an attempt further to aid the
trusts and monopolies in striking down
the people. The congratulations sent

A HOTLABOR STRUGGF..
Great Cotton Fight on In New
England.
WAGES OF 125,ooo ARE REDUCED.
rhe Labor Leaders Making a Test Fight
at New Bedford, Mass, Where the Re-
duction Was Refused-The Situation
Quiet at Present.

Boston, Jan. 18.-The fight between
employer and employe in the New En-
gland cotton mills is on, and what it
will lead up to cannot be foretold. The
great corporations in New Bedford are
silent and thousands Of operatives idle,
while here and there discomfort cropped
out all day, the most serious being at
Biddeford, Me-, where $500 persons re-
fused to work, thus closing two mills,
and at Lewiston, where one mill was
crippled by 400 weavers staying out.
The general wage reduction is estl-
mated to effect 125, 900 persons in about
$50 mills, although these mills have pre-
viously adopted the new schedule and
several others have given notice OF I'M
mediate reductions. Here and there
dissatisfaction was brought to the no
tice Of agents and overseers over minor
grievances, and i'll most cases these were
either remedied or an inquiry promised.
Today finds the textile operatives
everywhere intently interested in the
New Bedford struggle, for here the test
of strength and endurance will come,
and upon the outcome will depend the
question of an industrial battle the en-
tlIc leilgtA anu DfSdulu Ol Gll6 N6W
England states IKE chief point in
this battle will be discipline and the
first command of organized labor
brought well nigh perfect obedience.
The Gay passed quite peacefully, but
one incident is in some quarters feared
as a forerunner Of the odds the strikers
will take if driven TO desperation.
From the point of view of the mill
he citr fc-
now lockout. Intervention by the
state board of arbitration this week is
hardly likely to be allowed, and no overt
act on the part of the strikers and no at
tempt to open mill is expected for
number of days.
The New Bedford strikers will receive
strike money from operatives elsewhere,
but the sum total will be reserved until
a protracted battle brings on want and
hardship, which the unions will then
try to relieve.

French Government Refused to Make

French Government Refused to Make
Public an Alleged Confession.
PARIS, Jan 18.-There was great ex-
element in the chamber of deputies
when M Cavaignae, Republican, de-
manded discussion Of the semi-official
note issued in which the government
declined to make public the alleged con-
fession of Alfred Dreyfus to M. Lebraun-
Remand. The premier, NJ Meline, j,
refusing to discuss the matter, declared
that if the chamber voted its immediate
discussion the cabinet would resign.
The house then, by a vote of 80 to
252, adopted motion shelving the dis
cussion.
A great anti-Dreyfus and anti-Semite
meeting at the Tivola Vious hall pro-
duced extraordinary scenes. The mem
bers of the anti-Semite committee dis
played banners bearing the inscription
death to the Jews and other inscrip-
tons. 1t was soon seen that the 5000
people consisted largely of anarchists
and OF others bent on opposing the stu
dents. Fierce rioting occurred, which
was suppressed by the police.

miners met in this city yesterday for
the purpose of adjusting the wage scale

vania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and

port. recommending four votes for each
state, and scale committee of four
miners and the same number of opera
tors from each state, the convention ad.
journed until today to permit organiza-

by the selection of w. H. Holcomb of
Chicago as chairman, and two secre-
taries, F. H Brooks of Ohio and w. @.
Pearce of Chicago the former represent
ing the miners and the latter the oper-
ators.

sylvania, AZ The miners numbered
278, as follows: Illinois, Ill; Ohio, SO;
