dispatch 'front.'. D. Whelpley. its spec
ial correspondent who has just re-
turned from Porto Rico. bearing upon
the Miles-Alger controversy. Mr..
Whelpley denies the statement that his
recently published interview in Porto

ter was quoted as casting reflections
upon the war department. was not
genuine. and. in support OF the state
ment already made by 1t. the Star
prints interesting kilograms that
passed between the war department
and Gems. Miles and Shafter on the
points at ISSUE
doubt is expressed by some says
Mr.. Whelpley, "as to whether Gen.
Miles ever said those things credit

said them in confidence which was de-
trayed. I feel confident continued the
correspondent, that Gen. Miles will
stand by the interview referred to-
MY talk with him was not confiden-
tial. l went to him as a newspaper
reporter. for the avowed and expressed
purpose of securing an interview.
There was no reservation from publi-
cation in the conversation. This in
proven by his refusal to answer some
questions which he otherwise would
have answered. There was no hint Of
confidence.
I'm this instance, however, no ques-
ton of veracity need arise. Gen. Miles
himself, even If he SO desired, could not
conceal the proof of all he said. II is
written in the records OF the war de-
partment and it needs only a clearing
away Of inconsequential matter to tell
the story clearly all in full.'

Very Shocking Affair.

Tuesday afternoon DR.. Morgan
was summoned to the rooms of DR..
Barber to save the live of three
young women. DR.. Barber. 1t will
be remembered, is the professional
harry. who claims to have three
strings to his bow, namely, his ability
as an orator, a preacher aud as a
doctor. He came here and rented
house on Walnut street and solicited
patronage from those in physical dis
tress. Among other things in his
stock of life-saving apparatus was
a strong electric battery. Yesterday
several young men and three girls
who work around the house, were
experimenting with the battery and
they gradually increased the current
until il became too strong for the
girls and they fell over in a kind of
fit. Two OF them were unconscious
and all of them were subject to severe
muscular twitchings. Chafing the
hands proved of no avail and becom-
ing frightened at the prolonged un-
consciousness of the girls, doctors
were finally summoned. DIR. Morgan
was the first to arrive and he ut once
q administered dose to quiet the ex-
cited nerves of the girls and exactly
reversed the treatment followed by
the presiding authority with the re-
suit that the girls were soon resting
quietly.
The local doctor then read his mi
grating contemporary sermon on
the indiscrlmate use of electricity
which will probably remain with
him for several generations. DIR.
Barber took the west bound train on
the Missouri Pacific this morning and
has probably removed his bright and
shining silk tile from Allen county
soil for all time to come.

as it relates TO the Indian lands coded

the citizens have been obliged to pay

The bill carries appropriations aggre'

Manufactures are growing enormous
ly in the south. According to General
Longstreet, their products doubled in
value between 1880 and 1890. while the
wages of the factory hands nearly
tripled, as also did the capital invested
in cotton manufacturing. But, what
is very remarkable, that capital, ac-
cording to the general, has already
nearly doubled since 1890, being about
$4,000 900 now to SCI, 100000 then. In
1880 the cottonseed oil capital was 49,
100000, and now it Is over $50 900;
in 1880 the south made $4,000 tons of
pig iron, and in 1895 it made 1,702,S8O
tons; in 1890 its coal output was 6,00O,-
600 tons, and now it is at the rate of
30000,000 tons.
