that period, and the question of relieving
ham from command was seriously consd-
cred. He was then sick in his tent, and
1t was suggested that ne might be re-
heVed without appearing to reflect upon
his military ability. Then 1t was that
Gen. Miles made d personal appeal to the
PRESIDENT for an opportunity to exercise
his authority as commanding general Of
the army 1t is said that he assumed
the responsibility of sending a dispatch
10 Gen. Shafter directing him not to re-
treat under any circumstance but to hold
his position and made a demand upon the
Spanish commander for the immediate and
absolute surrender of Santiago
There was considerable opposition to
sending Gen. Miles TO Santiago but the
President was impressed by the zeal and
earnestness displayed by Gen. Miles and
finally consented TO his departure for San
uago. What followed is well known, and
the official orders will show that he as
sumed command of the American forces
as soon as he arrived and remained in
actual command until he took his depart
ure for Porto Rico. The official CORE
spondence that passed between Sboney
and Washington, and at that period, was
conducted almost entirely through Gen.
Miles In the exercise of his authority
as commanding general of the army, il
must be recorded to the credit of Gen.
Miles, that he never once sought directly
or indirectly to deprive Gen. Shafter of
any of the military glory to which he
was entitled. His official dispatches and
personal communications invariably COM
mended the successful operations of Gen.
Shafter
Fortune seems to have favored Gen.
Miles both at Santiago and Porto Rico.
He has strengthened himself with the
army and with the general public by his
eHective campaigning In the West Indies.
He returns home more popular through
out the country than he was before he
left here, and to a large extent ne has
disarmed his enemies by keeping a cool
head, a steady hand, and retaining copies
of all of the official orders issued by the
war department in connection with the
Santiago and Porto Rican campaigns

FLOOD AT KNOXVILLE,
Damages Resulting From High
Water VIII he Many Thousands.

Damages Resulting From High
Water WtII he Many Thousands.
Knoxville, Tenn, Sept. s.-Heavy rain
falls last night and a cloudburst in the
lower portion of Knox county occasloned
a general flood In this section to-day. Sew
eral streams running through the city
flooded and washed away whole lumber
and coal yards, and also did damage to
buildings by filling cellars with water.
The tracks of the Southern Railway at
Concord, ten miles from this city, were
washed away, thereby stopping all travel
toward the South.
The Southern's trains on the AsheviIle
division suffered the same fate, and at a
station near Hartman. an embankment
was washed away, cutting off communica-
ton with Cincinnati and Louisville.
The entire wrecking and bridge crews

TWO FIRES THIS MORNING.
Electric Light Wires Set OF Flames
Mt Two Places.

AT 1890 o'clock this morning the fire
men at No. were called out by still
alarm because of a fire at the Palmer
Hardware Companys store, on Jefferson
street. Electric light wires had set fire
10 the window and there was but slight
damage. The wires leading into the build
ing were all cut, however, as a precauuon-
airy measure.
Chief Mcguire was aroused and respond
ed to the fire at the hardware store. Just
as the men had returned TO the station,
a messenger notified them of a fire at
the chiefs house on Bay street. They
quickly responded and found that the
fire there, which was also of slight dam
age, had been caused similarly to that at
the Palmer store. Electric light vii IS
had crossed one of the alarm wires and,
overcharging it. caused a fire by way Of
the private gong wire in the chiefs bed
room. This fire was also quickly extin-

He Says the Roll Is Increasing In
Number and In Values.
washingt ton, Sept S-The annual report
of Hon. H. Clay Evans. commissioner of
PENSIONS was made public to-day.
The commissioner says that the roll is
not only increasing in number, but in
values.
The amounts paid out at the several
agencies for the year on account of pen
sions under the general laws are $75 275, 1888
and on account of pensions under the act
of June q, 1890. $66 1855 The number
of pensioners In foreign countries at the
close of the fiscal year was 4,371, having
increased 309.
The total amount paid to pensioners liv-
ing abroad was 1868, 862. Pension claims
pending June 80. 1885, numbered 635, 059
The commissioner is confident that there
are not 1900 of these Qnvalids and Wild
ows) that are genuine original claims
The others are cases where the claimants
are already pensioned. There is much
complaint among pensioners, says the
commissioner, and very just cause for
such, by reason of the lack of uniformity
of ratings for the same or like disabilities
of different claimants. This complaint
has always existed and always will, with
our present system and established prac-
tice, he declares, and 1t cannot be rene
died without radical change of system.
1t is recommended that the payments
of pensions be made to the wife or some
other suitable person in the case of pen
sioners who are likely to dlssipate their
money.
1t is recommended that additions be
made to the law and medical libraries of
the department and that a commission be
appointed on the revision of the law, rules
and regulations governing the issuance of
pensions.
A special division has been established
to adiudicate claims growing out of the
Spanish war. These will be paid under
the general laws. Only about 100 claims
of this class have been filed up to the
close of the fiscal year. and none has been
adjudicated.
