Miles firmly believes that by fair,
just treatment the people of Cuba
can be as easily controlled either as
a friendly ally and neighbor or to be-
come part of our own country as the
people Of Porto Rico.
miles remained in Porto Rico as
long as he deemed his presence nee
essary for carrying out the wishes
of the president, and now returns to
the United States, bringing with him
nearly 5000 men who are no longer
required, there being some 10000 still
remaining, amply sufficient for all
purposes. He returns at once to
Washington, where he believes that
he can be most useful, as he consid-
ers the most important need of the
hour now to be the immediate reduc-
ton Of the war expenses, and a re-
turn of as large a portion of those
IN military service as possible to
their former occupations where they
are most needed.

He leaves today, going first to Camp
Meade, Pa, thence to Detroit. The
secretary now feels free to express Ger
tain views entertained by the presi
dent and himself respecting the Gu
bans treatment of our soldiers. He
says:
The regiments ordered mustered
out will be mustered out. The regi-
ments designated to remain in service
will have to remain in service. AS
soon as we have mustered out 100, 900
men we shall reorganize the army,
every brigade, division and corps, and
put them into comfortable camps I'M

Rico and the Philippines. In these

commanding regiments and compa-
MES will be held strictly accountable
for the sanitary conditions of the
camps. They should be held respon-
sible. During the war many of these
officers disregarded the specific in
structions looking to the proper care
Of the men. The army ration is al
that is necessary for soldier. | hope
there will be less food given to the
men from outside sources. The army
ration as it is now will be a sound,
healthy diet.
"The principal difficulty We have
had was the recklessness of youth.
In the vigor of their sound health the
young men could not be induced to
take proper care of themselves. They
think they can violate the laws OF
health with impunity.
when a regiment is designated to
be mustered out, no further appeals
will be allowed to influence the de-
partment to change the program. The
purpose will be to treat all states
fairly and as near alike as possible.
The great complaint of the soldiers
is inconsistencies, Much of this is
caused by inconsiderate publications
in sensational newspapers.
The secretary gave an earnest as
surance of his purpose to carry out
strictly his decision to hold the field
officers responsible for the care OF
Private Hugh PARROT, who is
reported to have persisted in a tent
at Montauk Point for the lack OF
medical attention. Wednesday the
secretary of war sent a peremptory
order to Gen. Shafter to create a court
Of inquiry to investigate the case.

IN CORTES
WAR DISCUSSION HELD BEHIND
CLOSED DOORS.
WEYLER STlRS UP CABINET
Ex-Butcher Of Cuba Makes Attack in
Senate on Ministers Of War and
Marine D'Almernas Says
Spanish Generals Should Be Strung
Up with Their Own Sashes.

Madrid, Sept. S.-The chamber has
followed the senate in discussing tbs
late war behind closed doors. I'm.
mediately after its meeting Wednes
day Salmeron, republican leader
moved an investigation into the re-
sponslbility Of Sagasta's government
In connection with the war. Sagasta
quickly asked that the deliberations
be conducted behind closed doors.
The president pronounced fayorably
On the request. The republicans anC
conservatives protested. Amid al
indescribable confusion, the door
keepers cleared the galleries.
Resolutions signed by all the re,
publican deputies were submitted to
the chamber declaring that the gov
eminent is responsible, first, for
the lack OF necessary energy in the
prosecution of the war; second for
accepting a shameful peace; and third
for violation Of the constitution.
The senate's session was also
stormy, Gems. Weyler, Dominguez.
Aczarraga, Palejo and Rivera at.
tended. Weyler reminded the senate
of how Count D'Almernas greeted the
returning soldiers, ignoring the of
fcers. He declared that this was a
reflection upon the officers efficiency.
Inc mistakes made in Cuba should
not be blamed upon the army" he
said, but upon the politicians at the
mead OF the government. The minis
tiers OF war and marine ought to have
resigned. Cervera's squadron should
nave remained at the Canaries. for
no practical end was served by send
Ing the ships to Santiago. The re-
sponslblllties fer the surrender of
Santiago rested wholly upon the gov
er0ment instead of upon Toral.
Count D'Almernas, replying, said:
addressed my greetings to those
who had been martyrs for their coun-
try; to the Spanish soldiers because
they deserved such greetings. | did
not address the generals; for they
showed themselves incapable of lead
ing soldiers to battle or showing them
how to fall wQythily on the field
Marshal Primo de Rivera shouted:
That is not true" Weyler and others
Joined in the protest.
DAlmernas, addressing Rivera, re-
piled: Il am not afraid of such cries
or Of epaulets or of decorations that
will have to be torn Off the breasts of
several officers. The sashes of some
OF the generals should be torn off
and put around their necks."

pike eggs last spring a crew Of men
was sent to Tea lake, Sawyer county
and had nets placed in the water Al
that point before the ice went out.
AT this point was secured q splendi5
lot Of fish and from them a large
batch of excellent eggs. All tegether
100000 pike eggs were collec, ed
and 100000 pike fry were distrib
uted. This fry was generally plant
ed in inland lakes, and with the ex-
ception of perhaps half a dozen ship
ments, in good condition.
There is considerable vacant floor
space at the Oshkosh hatchery. which
Supt. Nevin would recommend be
filed with Matching troughs. some
tWelv7 in number, similar to those
used a. the Bayfield, hatchery, for the
purpose Of Matching lake trout eggs
The lake trout eggs for this hatchery
can be collected at Waukegan. Ill.
and at Kenosha: and the fry patched
at this point can be taken direct to
Lake Michigan and Grean Bay for
p anting, thus avoiding Transporting
the fish and eggs across the state
from the Bayfield, hatchery for plant
ing in Lake Michigan and Green Bay.
There is Matching room for from six
to eight millions of lake trout eggs.
At the commissioners suggestion,
the c. & N. W. Ry. company, and the
c., M. & St. P. Ry. company. fitted
up baggage cars to transport full
grown white bass to the summer re-
sort lakes along their. respective
lines. These cars, together with the
Badger, the fish car, were kept on
the road cons antly for three weeks
or during the run of fish. There were
planted 23,420 full-grown white bass.
Supt. Nevin says there is no question
but this is a good work. and in a
few years this species will be in most
OF our summer resort lakes, for which
they are particularly suited. The
waters in which they were planted
are naturally adapted to them.

eral was not slow in paying his re-
spects to her. He Informed Capt.
Porct Of La Champagne and N.
Nine. de Warren" was the Princess
Won Wrede, wife of Prince AdoIph
Won Wrede, a scion of one of the old
est and most distinguished families
CT Russia.
The princess and Mile. Malmstro I'm,
together with Consul General Klesz-
kowski, himself a distinguished ap-
pearing man, formed the party that
dined every day at Capt. Poirot's
table. The identity Of Nine. de War
en- was concealed from the remainder
Of the ships company.
The princess is OF medium height
and attractive form. Her hair is Of
Titan hue, her features are delicate
y formed. When she left the La
Champagne she was dressed in the
whitest Of duck and wore a becom-
ing sailor hat. Her companion is
taller and dark. She was dressed in
a similar style.
Captain Poirot and NJ. Kleczkowskf
spent some time on the pier in TAX
ing leave Of their companions of the
voyage. The consul general went to
Montreal. the two women to the Wal
dorf-Astoria, where they registered as
Princess Of Wrede" and Miss Malm-
StrOem. -
The visit Of the princess to this
country has some connection with a
divorce which she is seeking to OBJ
tain from ner titled husband Prince
Adolph Won Wrede, a first cousin
Of Prince Charles Frederick of
Bavaria. He Is also the brother of
the Austrian minister who was lately
at Munich. The prince has led
gaily erratic career. Princess Won
Wrede brought suit against her hus-
band for divorce last December. It
was alleged that the prince had gone
through the form OF marriage with
Nine. Maldaner, who was born an
American girl. The so-called mar
riage Of the prince with Madame NAL
daner, mother OF Kuhne Beverage,
was annulled in Munich last Feb
ruary, the courts of France afterward
confirming the decree.
1t is said that the princess can Sc
cure the divorce from her husband if
the proper evidence can be got. Wit
nesses to the marriage of the prince
and the family Of Nine. Maldaner are
to be in this country, and to
see them and get af1davits from them
is said to have brought the princess
on her mission.
