MILES FULL OF WRATH
He Denounces the Cla m That the
Volunteers Are to Blame.
AN AFFR0NT TO REASON
To Hold Them Responsible for the Dis
ease and Death That Devastated
the Army Is an Insult TO the
Bravsst Soldiers OF History.

Chicago. Sept. 29.-The Daily News
| Washington special says that General
Miles, at a reception given at his home
last night to his comrades of the Medal
Of Honor Legion, denounced as false
the claim that the volunteer officers and
soldiers were themselves responsible for
the sickness in the camps.
The volunteer troops of the United
states in the war with SPAIN" said he,
Were as brave and as patriotic a body
Of soldiers as ever took The field In an,
campaign the world has ever seen. Thg
battles they fought were won as gall
lantly as any recorded In history. And
yet the peril which our soldiers had
most cause to dread was not bullets. but
disease, which swept over our camps
and destroyed hundreds where bullets
killed one. our soldiers entered into the
fever-stricken camps as they went up
the hill in the face Of the enemy, with
a courage and devotion that must open
to them the glorious pages of history.
Those who say that these men sick
ened and died because they wished 10:
those who blame the soldiers and OFF
GERS of our army for the disease and
death that devastated the camps and
thinned the ranks; those who assert
that our soldiers suffered through their
own fault. insult a quarter of a million
of the bravest men that ever carried
arms beneath the sun.
These men did not suffer and die be
cause they liked IL, and whoever SAYS
they did insults our army and the men
who ofiicered it, IL is an affront to rea-
son. i have nothing TO say Of the blame
for the death of those brave men"

lice for the province Of Santiago. II con-
s!sts Of a commandant, with the rank OF
major three captains. six lieutenants, 10

put an end to this state of affairs.
The Cubans are beginning to understand
that the sudden change they wanted af-

fusion and disorder. while now every day
"A number Of Cubans are appointed TO po-

The United States collector OF customs

CULMINATING OFFENsE OF THE
CHINESE EMPEROR
The Empress Dowager Couldn't stand
That and Seized the Reins of Gov
ernment The Emperor Flees.

Pekin, Sept p. via Shanghai. Sept. 29
The developments Of palace affairs con-
firm the belief that the emperor. by the
radical reforms which he had decreed
prepared himself for the blow struck by
the dowager empress. The successive
odicts furnish a history of the trend Of
affairs. The emperor's chief adviser. Kang
Nuwei, obtained unbounded influence
over him and inspired the reforms. The
official classes opposed him and consulted
the dowager empress as TO the means Of
multiplying these reforms. The current
story is that the immediate cause OF the
emperor's downfall was that he appeared
one daY I'm European clothes This Of
fense, IL appears, was aggravated by the
arrival in China Of the Marquis Ito. the
japanese statesman, which alarmed the
palace officials as foreshadowing japanese
influence I'm the empires councils. There
upon the dowager empress acted with
wonderful promptness and depOsed her
nephew before the Pckn people were
aware she had left the summer palace.
Kang Yuwei, foreseeing trouble, fled two
days after the crisis. His followers were
arrested to-day.
Hsuying- X Ouei whose dismissal from
the Chinese foreign Office was secured by
the British minister some time ago on
the ground OF bad faith, has been reap
pointed.
The announcement OF the emperor's
death Is expected soon and the dowager
empress is likely TO appoint a figurehead
as his successor, retaining the real power
herself.
one report says the empress has strong
views regarding Russia's aggression I'm
Manchuria and though she is likely to re-
store Ii Hung Chang 10 power. she Is not
likely TO countenance his Russian lean

Washington. Sept z9-Dr. Rocker sec
