Miles Does Not Favor Delay
Special Dispatch to THE Sun.

Special Dispatch to THE Sun.
WASHINGTON, May 23-Preparations
being made for the invasion OF Cuba,
which it is not intended shall be delayed
on account of the movements OF the
Spanish squadron.
There has been a great deal OF private
and some public criticism of General
Miles, based on the theory that he is
standing in the way and opposing the
immediate invasion Of Cuba. This criti-
cism, there is best Of reason to believe, is
unjust, and is based on false assunp-
ton as to what General Miles attitude is.
1t is known to a few people, at least,
that General Miles has for some time
been strongly in favor of a speedy and
effective invasion, and that he has chafed
at the delays attending the organization
and equipment Of the volunteer army.
That he is accused OF advocating delay is
merely an evidence Of the fact that he
has not been taking into his confidence
any one outside the department.
The difference Of opinion which has
existed has Ecen as to the character of
the invasion to be made. General Miles
has earnestly and deterlninedly opposed
sending few thousand men to Cuba
with great quantity of stores and equip
ment, trusting to the support which
might be given them by the Gomez
army.
lis likely that an invasion of that
sort might have occurred week or two
ago had he not SO earnestly opposed it,
and to that extent only, it is declared, is
he responsible for the delay.
He has taken the ground that there
would be very unwise risk in sending
30 small force; that it would endanger
the lives of the few thousand meE sent;
possibly resulting in our stores falling
into the hands OF the enemy. and thus
giving them supplies which Spain is un-
able to furnish them, and that it would
do very little towards fastening con-
clusion of the war; even if the men were
able to defend themselves and their
stores.
He has advocated, it is asserted, an
immediate invasion of the island with a
force of between 10000 and 100000 men,
and that this force should be landed as
nearly as possible at the sane time at
different points, 1t is said that he has
insisted that transports enough should
he provided to land $4,000 or 20,000 men
at a time in quick succession, with abun.
dant stores.
The change of plan from that first con-
templated Of merely establishing base
of Supplies for the iilsugents to one for an
invasion on a large scale has necessarily
resulted in DELAY.
The matter of equipment of troops has
dragged, and great deal OF time has
been consumed in adjusting the com.
mauds and organizing the volunteer
army. 1t is believed now that every
thing is in readiness for the invasion and
that General Miles is not advising post
ponement until fall, as has been as
serted.
He has been too impatient of delay to

Per cent. of price.

1t will be noted that with the eXCep-
ton of hay and hogs every product Is
materially higher than in 1895. The
variation in hay is due to the fact that
the crop Of 1898 was abnormally small
and the crop of 1893 abnormally large,
while in the case of hogs the present
supply is little short OF 80 per cent
larger than in 1895.
Aside from large crops and good
prices there is" our contemporary
adds. another factor with an import
ant bearing on the present improved
financial position of the farmer, While
prices of the products of his labor have
steadily advanced since 1898, the prices
of those things for which he must eN-
change his products have just as
steadily fallen, so that the products of
the farm as a whole exchange for an
| increasing amount Of those things o.
necessity and of luxury which the
farmer buys. No other producing class
