SKATER IS INDIGNANT
At Attacks OF Yellow Journals Upon Himself
and Others.

Nashville. Tenn, Sept. S0.-Postmaster
Wills received letter from Gen Shafter,
today, dated Camp Wikoff, Sept. &c. il.
which he says of the newspaper attacks
upon him:
The attacks of the yellow press upon
me and others of the administration are
simply outrageous. The articles are filled
with untruths. beginning with the one
that l was responsible for the equipment
of the army with Springfield rifles which
you ard every other sensible man KNOWS
is lie.
THE behavior of some of the yellow
journalists was so outrageous before we
even got into Cuba that had to put my
hand on them, and after we got into
Cuba it was still worse. Their letters are
the result of personal spite. If l had
come back with a defeated army there
might have been some excuse for their
talk. but having commanded one of the
most successful campaigns of modern
military history, it is simply an outrage
81 am very fond of Evans pension com
missioneD and am very glad that you
are defending him. Some Of the G. A. r.
are simply unbearable and seem to think
if they can't have the treasury turned
over to them they are being defrauded.'

attempt was made to break up the inter

great Improvement in the playing OF

At the same time that the Varsity was

work was far above the average.
At 4 o'clock the teams were lined UP
in the center of the field and the kickon

difficulty on account Of the interference
being broken up Time after time the
second eleven succeeded in smashing up
the interference. in spite of the work the
men had been given in this particular
work. 1t was finally discovered that there
was an extra man on the second eleven.
When he was taken out Of the way the

be but little improvement. Those who
