We take the same view of the incom,
potency of some of Secretary Algeria
staff officers that General Miles does.

reindeer for that Alaska hasco We
tried to sell him burros instead. But
he wouldn't take our advice and we
haven't written to him since. -Inde-

statements that he intends to actively
interfere in favor of Spain, that he is
our friend now and always has been
