Upon army Legiaiattaa-

Washington, Aug. 30.-When Gen.
Miles returns to Washington he will
be asked for an explanation of recen,
interviews appearing and the pu blica-
ton of certain dispatches which the
war department has not made public.
Whether the investigation will take
the course of military court of in
ouiry or of . private interview with
the president. the secretary of war
and Gen. Miles remains TO be seen.
Until the arrival of Gen. Miles the
war department will not discuss the
matter. Secretary Alger says that
the department will not enter into
any controversy with its subordinates
and he does not propose to discuss
matters affecting Gen. Miles during
his absence. The department is of the
opinion that Gen. Miles made public
the dispatches of the secretary, Gen.
Shafter and himself. published this
morning. Such action 1t regards as a
breach of military regulations, but no
military court can secure proof that
Gen. Miles made public the dispatches
II he and the person to whom they
were furnished refuse to give the in
formation, as several military trials
have made it settled law that no mill
tary court can compel n civilian to tes-
tlfy II he does not desire to. Gen.
Miles also may be called to account for
the interviews given by .lim as, unless
disavowed, they would place him in
the attitude of criticising his superior
officers and subject him to military dis
cipline.
The publication of the dispatches to-
day, taken together with previous in
terviews in the Kansas City Star. were
the topic OF conversation among off,
GERS of the war department and al
ready there is disposition by some
TO take sides in the matter. while 9TH

do irreparable injury TO the service
1t is expected the controversy will ex-
tend to both houses OF congress and it
is feared have an adverse effect upon
the legislation which will be asked to
better the army. It is generally un-
derstood that the regular force will
have TO be largely increased, at least
until the conquered islands are dis

movement looking to this end and in
vites the powers to take part in an in
ternational conferences % a means of
thus insuring real and fasting peace
and terminating the progressive i'm
crease of armament
Believed to he Too stapendous.
Washington Aug. 80. --The universal
peace plan of Gear Nicholas, and his
suggestions that all the powers hold
an international conference to discuss
it, are literally commented on in the
departments In the war department.,
the outlined scheme of the czar is be-
lieved to be too stupendous for any
active realization In the near future.
"Such plan. SO great in all its pro-
portions and far-feachIng In its
effects" said Adjt Gen. Corbin,
might be carried out in the course of
quarter of century of discussion,
but not earlier. All the world would
be glad OF universal peace except q
few Of the reigning monarchs of
Europe who are too unsteady on their
thrones to desire lasting peace. 1t Is
only by the imminence of war with
other nations that they retain power
over their own. This Is the one in
superable obstacle in the wav of uni
versal peace"
1t is believed that the victory
achieved by the United States in the
late war with Spain was contribute
ing factor In the preparation of the
note. 1t is surmised that that victory
made it clear at once to the European
statesmen that to maintain the bal
ance of power they would be obliged
to redouble their expenditures on ac-
count of army and navy, else they
must be outstripped by the United
States
The official mind here looks upon
the Russian project for general dis
armament az too utopian at this time,
and while any statement as to the at
titude of the United States toward
such a conference as that proposed is
purely conjectural in advance of the
receipt of the invitation. the impress
sion prevails that our government
would not care to take any active part
in its deliberations.
London Regards 1t as an ImpOssibility.
London. Aug. sO--The papers are
filled with discussions, comments and
opinions as to the circular of Emperor
Nicholas. The most Notwithstanding
event could have hardly produced
such q coup as this suggestion, the
fruition OF which is regarded on all
sides as an absolute impossi bility.
Germany Would Give 1t Trial.
Berlin. Aug. 80. The North German
Gazette, referring to the czar's
peace conference proposals, remarks:
.Our armaments were never intended
for selfish ends. but only for our own
protection and for the intenance of
peace. We are willing to give fair
trial to another method of attaining
the object at smaller cost"
France Distrusts the scheme.
Paris, Aug. 30.-The French news
papers generally distrust the practical
bility of the ezar's peace scheme and
clearly indicate that France would
make the restoration of Alsace- Lor-
raine prerequisite to her participa-
tion in the conference.
