IS. DONNELLY WILL Be THERE
NATIONAL CONVENTION OF
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Ex-Gov. Peck's Chances of Receiving
Democratic Nomination For Gov
ernor of Wisconsin.

Cincinnati, Aug. 30.-1he Middle-of-
the-road Populists will hold a national
convention here next week, beginning
at 10 a. m. Monday. Soon after the call
for this convention was originally is
sued it was withdrawn and there have
been conflicting reports as to whether
the convention would be held. 10 A
Parker of Louisville, secretary of the
national reform press association, was
here today representing Chairman Mil
ton Park of Dallas, Tex, and other
leaders. Parker had just returned from
Texas, where he was comforting with
National Chairman Park and he en-
gagged the Lyceum today for the con-
vention next week. The Lyceum adjoins
Music Hall, where the national en-
campment of the G.. A. r. will be held.
While the middle -the-road Popu-
lists" want a general conference before
the congressional elections are held, the
convention is called for next week be-
cause of the very low rates on the rail-
roads that can be had next week to
Cincinnati and the fact that many
members of the G.. A r. from the
western states who will be here then,
insisted on having a general conference
at least, even if the delegate conven-
ton should have been called off.
Among those who will be in attend
ance are Thomas Watson, Ignatius
Donnelly, Frank Burkett and Whar-
ton Barker.

Washington, Aug. 30.-When General

be asked for an explanation of recent
interviews appearing and the publica-
ton of certain dispatches which the
war department has not made public.
Whether the investigation viii take
the course of military court of in
Qulry or of a private interview with
the president, the secretary of war and
General Miles, remains still to be seen.
Until the arrival of General Mics the
war department viii not discuss the
matter. Secretary Alger says that the
department VIII not enter into any
controversy with its subOrdinateS, and
he does not propose to discuss matters
affecting General Miles during his abb
Sence. The department. is of the opin-
ion that General Miles made public the
dispatches of the secretary, General
Shafter and himself, published this
morning, Such action it regards as a
breach of military regulations, but no
military court can secure proof that
General Miles made public the dis
patches, Il he and the person to whom
they were furnished refuse to give the

Sfal Miles also may be called to ac-
count for the interviews with him, as,

him in the attitude of criticising his
superior officers and subject him to
military discipline.

Montgomery Sicard, formerly president
OF the naval war strategy board; Ad-
nliral Matthews, president of the navy
