The article says in part: 1T needs
only a glance at the official records of

these charges to be true, and to throw
much additional light on the situation.
That he was in command of the entire
army when he was in Washington is
of course evident. That he did not re
sign this supreme command when h"
went to Tampa. and that it was he who
was treating with the Cubans for Co
operation in Cuba. is shown by the
numerous kilograms exchanged with
General Garcia. The war department
recognized Miles as chief when he was
in Tampa, for June f. a telegram was
sent TO him from Washington, which
began: The following extract of tel
egram from Admiral Sampson to the
secretary of the navy is repeated for
your information,' etc. No man who

London, Aug. 30-What is noticeable
in European comment is the fact that
everything is held to pivot on the action
of France. Mr.. DeBlOwitZ. the Paris
correspondent of The Times, puts the
natter pithily. He says: 1t is prac-
ticary impossible that France could
have been consulted beforehand, be-
cause an absolutely primary condition
of her sanction would be that Alsace

are three of us who made the German
empire. The German nation would hang
all three if We offered of our own free
will to give back Alsace-L Lorraine to

those who are at the head of France
today, and who We're not responsible for
the loss of Alsace- Lorraine, that they
would all be hanged, in spite of the
apparent indifference of the nation, We're

People ask themselves bitterly what
Is the nature of this singular alliance

all the more extraordinary, as at pres

formidable continental power. Its new
gun is superior to anything hitherto

Paris. Aug. 30.-The French news
papers generally distrust the practica-
bility Of the cars peace scheme, ard
clearly indicate that France would make
the restoration of Aisace Lorraine pre-
requisite to her participation in the con-
ference.
The Times says: 1T is to be hoped that
Europe, like France will consider the
cZars proposal in spirit similar TO that
whereby it was inspired. Nevertheless
it must not be forgotten that II France
owes it to herself to aid in such an at
tempt there is another portion of her
moral patrimOny which she cannot
abandon without abdcating the very
reason of her existence. France cannot
forget the eloquent words exchanged be-
tween the CZar and the president regard
ing the rights of people ard justice.
Count MuraVieff's circular seems re-
jpinder To Mr. Goshen's speech, whether
Or not it was so intended. Therefore, 1t
lacks neither wit nor appropriateness.
However, ii would be sngularly belit-

proposal to see nothing else in it, or even
to connect it with a wish to hamper

July General Shafter sent the follow
ing Dispatch addressed to the adju-
tant general: There seems to be no
reasonable doubt that General Pando
succeeded in entering Santiago last
night with his force, said to be about
5000 men. This puts a different aspect
on affairs, and, while We can probably
maintain ourselves, it would be at the
cost of very considerable fighting and
loss, General Lawton reports that Gen
eral Garcia, who was to block the en-
trance of Pando, informed him at ~
o'clock last night that Pando had passed
in on Zebra road. Lawton says he
cannot compel General Garcia to obey
my instructions to place themselves III

fight and that if we intend to reduce
Santiago we will have to depend alone
upon our own troops, and that we Will

Commodore Watson replies that he does

of Santiago. This, under the circum-
stances, is not very encouraging.

General Miles sailed for Cuba. On
July II at noon he reported his safe ar
rival to the war department, and at
once assumed charge, reporting to the
secretary of war. All of the subsequent
business of the surrender was entirely
in his hands, as shown by the fact that
the war department communicated with
him direct, not even mentioning Shat
ter's name in the numerous dispatches.
The following dispatch is an excellent
example: Major General Miles: You
may accept surrender by granting pa
roles to officers, and men, the officers
retaining their side arms. The officers
and men G3'er parole will be permitted
to return to Spain, the United States
assisting. If not accepted, then assault
unless in yodr Judgment an assault
would fail. Consult with Sampson and
pursue such course as 70 the assault
as you jointly agree upon. Matters
should be settled promptly.

Gloucester Aug. 30.-Under the title,
transport Disgrace" Elizabeth Phelps
the Well-knoWn writer has written q
protest against permitting the 5000
United States soldiers who still remain
in Porto Rico to be brought home under
the conditions which have prevailed on
board the transports which have borne
the soldiers from Cuba. Mrs. Ward
says: AN immense current of horror is
passing through this astOnished land.
We are wasting time and vitality enough
to save hundreds of lives in the sheer
emotion caused by the inhuman blum
ders under which the heroes of this war
are perishing. Let us stop shrieklng
and get to the rescue. Mere outcries
will not help the dying. Investigation
will not feed the starving. Blaming the
secretary of war will not heal the heart
broken living. This is no time to nves-
tigate, but to act.
Five thousand men still remain to
be sent home at once by transport
system to whose awful merCieS the So
cieties which punish cruelty would not
allow hogs or sheep to be entrusted.
What is to prevent the same atrocities
from happening on every ship? They can
and must be stopped. If the government
cannot take care of its heroes, the people
can. | suggest the governors of states,
the Red Cross, the Volunteer Aids, or
any organization possessing suitable
position, sympathy, energy and re-
sources offer their services by telephone
to the president for the definite purpose
of properly providing for the remainder
of our soldiers about to embark. l do
not believe that such offers would be re-
pulsed, but on the contrary that they
would be welcome if put into suitable

Deafnes. Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they canno reach the diseased portion of th' ear. There is ouly one way to curt deafness, and that Is by constitu tional remedies. Deafness IS caused by an indamed condition of the mu cous lining of the Eustachian tube When this tube gets inAamed, you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which IS nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
