ALL POPPYCOCK.
This is Shafter's View of the Miles-Al-
 ger Controversy.

Camp Meade, Middletown, Pa. Septem- Der 9-Secretary of War Alger and General Shafter were at Camp Meade today They witnessed a review of the troops and made a hurried tour of the camp. General Alger resumed his journey at noon to Detroit, and General Shafter went to Washington
 General Shafter said the secretary was a very dear friend, and that they had been in the civil war together as colonels. He is at work on his report of the Santiago campaign and expects to complete it to- morrow Speaking of the controversy with General Miles, he said:
 .'It is all poppycock. There is no friction between General Miles and myself, at least there was not when he left Santiago. Our relations have always been pleasant and I do not understand the meaning of all this talk The general may have been talking but I believe that much of 1t is due to an- ,tagonstic newspapers, whose motives are certainly not patriotic
 When asked what he had to say about the criticism of the war department, the secretary replied that people have no idea of the great task of equipping and send ing an army across the water. 'The war denartment," he said, tasks no favors. All it wants and expects is fair treatment"

SENATOR GRAY
 FIFTH MEMBER Roster of Peace Commission is
 Complete. REPRESENTS DEMOCRATS The Commission Will Meet in Wash ington About September l5 to Re- ceive Fina, instruction Be-
 fore Sailing for Paris.
REPRESENTS DEMOCRATS

Washington, September 9.-The president today named Senator George Gray, of Delaware as the fifth member of the peace commission. This completes the person. nel of the commission, which stands:
 Secretary Day, Senators Davis, Frye and Gray, and Hon. Whitelaw Reid.
 In selecting Senator Gray, the president has given democratic representation on the commission. The appointment will proba- bly, necessitate the retirement of MT. Gray from the Anglo-American commission, which is conducting its sessions in Canada, as this commission will resume it's work about the time the peace commissioners sail for Paris.
 The position was offered to the senator several days ago, but at that time was de- clined. The president, however, further urged MT. Gray to accept, and his final agreement was secured today.
 Senator Gray is one of the best known men in public life, having been a promi- nent figure in the senate for the last twelve years. He was born at New Castle, Del, in 1840, and was graduated at Princeton. He served as attorney general of Delaware, and later was appointed to the senate when Thomas F. Bayard entered the first Cleveland cabinet as secretary of state MT. Gray has been in the senate continu- ously since then, serving with distinction, being one of the recognized forces in de- bate and in the shaping of important legis- lation. He is a member of the senate com mittee on foreign relations, thus making three members of that ommittee-Davis, Frye and Gray-on the peace commission On foreign questions Mr. Gray has gener- ally been regarded as opposed to expansion, his senate votes having been against the annexation of Hawaii.
 Now that the commission is complete, it is expected that the American case will be made up and the commission given its final instructions. The commissioners will meet here about the 18th inst, prior to sailing for Paris, at which time they will meet the president and be made aware in a general way of the views of the admin istration.
 The announcement of Senator Gray's name was made shortly after the cabinet met. Acting Secretary Moore was called to the white house during the meeting and the final decision was then announced. Senator Allison and other public men who were at the white house at the time ex- pressed strong approval of the selection.

RIVALRY BETWEEN LEADERS
ARE ANNOYING EACH OTHER

New York; September 9.-A dispatch to the Herald from Manila says:
 '"The attitude of the Philippine insurgent leaders is daily becoming more dangerous. So open is their opposition to the American authorities that the situation is strained and reconciliation may be difficult / What makes the situation the more troublesome is the undisguised rivalry be- tween the followers of General Agu1naldo, the self-proclaimed dictator, and General Piopilar, who covets the honor which Aguinaldo has acquired.
 General Piopilar is in command of the insurgent troops stationed south of Ma nila. He uses them in way that will be most annoying to Aguinaldo, and that the same time makes every effort to show his utter disregard of the American officials.
 His forces continue to parole the city, encouraging lawlessness in every direction. They are constantly annoying the Ameri- can troops, who are engaged in the diffi- Suit tdSh Ol pItStTVlnS
 Does Not Conceal it
 "Aguinaldo's course is no less annoying. He no longer attempts to conceal his hos- tility to the officials who represent the United States, and yesterday issued an or der prohibiting his soldiers from entering the American lines. This course was probably deemed necessary in order to pre- vent them from becoming so well disposed towards Americans as to destroy his power by repudiating his leadership.
 '"The attitude of the rival leaders cannot fail in the end to injure the cause of the Philippine independence. Certainly it will prevent the presentation of strong case before the Paris commission in behalf of the Filipinos."

COMMISSION ID
 INVESTIGATE Affairs of War Department to be Tuned to Public Gaze, HOW WAR WAS CONDUCTED Different Army Camps Will Be
 Inspected. ACTS OF NEGLECT SHOWN UP Gen. SChofied and Former Senator Gordon Rendered the Task. SURGEONS WILL BE ASKED Why They Turned Dying Men Back to Their Tents Commissary Depart ment Will be Asked Why Sup-
 plies Were Not Given.


Washington, September 9.-President Me Kinley has rendered places on the proposed commission to investigate the war depart ment in relation to the conduct of the Hispano-American war to Major-General Schofeld, former commanding general of the army, and ex-Senator John B. Gordon of Georgia.
 Itis said that the proposed commission for the investigation of the affairs of the war department has been under considera- tion for some time by the president. Just what it's duties will be when appointed has not been definitely determined, but it can be stated that one reason for it's creation will be to visit and report upon the condi- tions in the various army camps and to satisfy the anxious relatives of soldiers that the care that is being taken of them is the best that can be afforded and if not to ascertain what should be done and report to the war department.
 Officials of the war department say that inspectors and army officers have been sent u iHdht luNeSllSdtlOHS anu where any has been discovered it has been corrected. The suggestion is to have a commission composed of eminent men, whom the people all know, to make tour of the camps and see what is lacking, and to say what the real conditions are. Whether or not the commission is to extend its investigations ipto ba of ba i,, relations to other features of the war re- mains to be seen. The war department off, cials believe that there have heen greatly exaggerated complaints made of the differ ent camps, and that this should be first in- vestigated so as to convince the fathers and mothers and other relatives of the sol ders that their men are being well taken care of.
 Rendered to Gen. Gordon
 Atlanta, Ga., September 9.-A telegram from President Mckinley was received to- asking the general to accept a position as a member of a "commission to examine in. to the conduct of the commissary and medical departments of the army in the re- cent war with Spain."
 President Mckinley expressed the opin- ion that General Gordon would do the country a great service by accepting position on the commission, and earnestly hoped that he would see fit to become a member. The specific object of the com- mission is stated to be an examination into the commissary, quartermaster and medical bureaus of the war department and into the extent, causes and treatment of sickness in the field and the camps
 The telegram did not state who the other members of the Investigating board would be, and closed with a request for serious consideration of the offer.
 General Gordon is at Reynolds, Ga., to- night and is inaccessible. President Me- Kinleys telegram was forwarded to him.

 Model to Be Followed
 in Porto Rico.
NEW FORM OF GOVERNMEN I
BARRED

San Francisco, September 9.-The steam CT Coptic from Yokohoma and Hong Kong via Honolulu brings the following advices to the Associated Press from the latter city under date of September 8:
 It will be the Territory of Hawaii'
 That is the name which the annexation commission has decided to recommend to congress. Thus will be preserved in the political nomenclature of the United States the distinctive origin of this part of the United States The history and tradition of the islands and the associations that no resident here wants forgotten will go on in unhroken union with the name. The form or the government will be modelled on that or existing territories. There will be no further departure from this form than local conditions and national political considera- uons make necessary. It is probable in working out the details this form of gov ernment will not approximate so closely to tnat Of state government, as the ordinary form of state government does. But the ultimate possibility of statehood will not be barred. There will be no District of Columbia or Alaska form of government proposed.

Local Self Government

Local self-government will be given through the extension of the municipal ldea- The islands will be divided into mu nlcipal districts having control under re- strlctions and limitations of purely local affairs. The question of a territorial leg islature has been fully settled. There will De probably one, but with limited powers. All the attributes of sovereignty, however. will be exercised by the national govern ment of the United States. The people of Hawaii will be called on to consider them selyesAAuericans, looking to the national governmentfas source of national power In local affairs they will have the oppor- tunity of exercising the high attributes of American citizenship-local self-govern- ment. The form of government the com mission will recommend will be one cal eulated to do away with the associations of national independence which have grown up in the last eight ninety years and to create associations and feeling of union with the United States.
 It is petty clear from the words of the commission from time to time in framing a form of government for these islands that they have also been charged by the admin istration with forming a model which will be adapted to Porto Rico and to other new possessions the war has brought to the United States.
