WHY THEY RESIGNED.
Sixth Massachusetts Officers Tell
Their Story.

BOSTON, Aug. 1.-THE story Of the
recent troubles in the Sixth Massa-
chusetts infantry, which resulted in
the resignation Of Col. Woodward and
several other officers, was told to
some extent In a letter from q CORE
spondent at Ponce, dated Aug. 8.
In an interview, Col. Woodward says
In regard to matters leading up to the
resignation: 1.-The specific charges
made by Gen. Garretson, commander
Of our brigade, referred to the stray
Cling on the march between Guanica
and here. When the march began
they were very tired, and I did not
have the heart to be severe with those
who were exhausted
Gen. Henry said that the yolun-
teers suffered from too much good
feeling Of this kind; that I had been
among my men in my regiment too
long and that discipline suffered great
ly. He said they shot men in the
regulars when they fell out. 1 replied
emphattcally that perhaps that was
his custom, but 1t was not mine. I
said I had no desire to court martial
the stragglers. The general said I
must; I said 1 would resign first, and
he said my resignation would be ac-
cepted. Lieut.. Col. Claflin said the
same. Maj. Taylor said so, too. We
were ordered before the board and we

PEACE COMMISSION MEETINGS.
They VIII Be Held In the French
Foreign Office.

PARIS, Aug. 1.-THE Spanish-Amer-
lean peace commission will hold it's
sittings in the grand salon of the
French foreign office, where the Bering
sea tribunal met. This room is seen in
Carl Gutherz's historical painting of
the tribunal, now hanging In the CAPT.
toll at Washington.
The French government means to
receive the commission in the usual
elaborate style. The French foreign
minister will welcome the commission
ers at the opening Of the sittings, and
President Faure and his ministers will
give official dinners to the commits
sioners during their stay in Paris.
The reported appointments Of Mr..
Reid as ambassador to London, and
of Mr.. Hay as American secretary of
state, have not passed unnoticed here.
where both have held diplomatic posi-
lions, Mr.. Reid as minister and Mr..
Reid is not very well liked at the
French foreign Office, where he stood
up squarely and successfully for Amer
lean interests During his official term
in Paris he showed great tact and
astuteness. His chief collaboration at
the American embassy, Henry Wig
maud, a trained diplomatist, says the
United States never had here an ADLER
minister than Mr.. Reid. He kept I'D
the largest establishment of any Amer
lean minister before or since and dis
pensed wide hospitality. He was
greatly liked by the American colony.
Mr. Hay has often visited Paris since
he was secretary of legation here, and
he has many admirers in this city In
American and foreign circles. Mrs.
and Miss Hay were frequently seen in
Paris drawing rooms last winter, and
they made a most favorable impress
sion. The general feeling here Is that
Mr.. Hay will admirably discharge the
diplomatic and social duties Of the
state department.
