superior. He has approved the findings
of the Wade court of inquiry. Therefore,
1 have no comment to make. 1t would
be an unsoldierly act were I to do So"
With these words Gen. Miles replied TO
a Star reporter who saw him for a mo-
ment to-day with regard TO the probable
action he would take in view of the ad-
verse report of the court
"Wi.l you formulate protest to the
PRESIDENT" was the next question.

piled the general

gation?"

ject"
DO you believe Congress will rectify
the matter?"
Il do not know what Congress will do,
nor have I any means of knowing in ad-
vance what verdict the result of an in
vestigation might develop. 1 have no COM
ment, criticism or statement to make in
this matter, and you may take it as GER
tain that any alleged interviews or inti-
nations to the contrary, said to come from
me, are wholly and unqualified.y false.

the considera ton of the health lives and
integrity of the army. My duty is done +"
Inquiry was made as TO the staff officers
criticised and what course they might
pursue, and it was stated that as a mill
tary, legal proposition, it was impossible
for any action to be taken by any of the
officers aggrieved They might demand a
court of inquiry, but this was a court of
inquiry which recommended that no
further action be taken; this being ap-
proved by the President precluded any
further inquiry.
Gen. Eagan, who is specified in the re-
port is not likely to ask for any further
investigation.
Lieut.. Col. Maus of Gen. Miles staff,
the other officer criticised, feels it keenly.
His friends say he was among the wit
nesses whom Gen. Miles asked to be call
ed, and was not called by the court.

REPORTS WE'RE UNFOUNDED.
Wilson Found No Real Bandits in
Santa Clara Province.

Havana, May S.-Maj. Gen. Wilson,
military governor of the department of
Matanzas-Santa Clara, has visited within
the last ten days every railroad point in
Santa Clara province.
At several points where he received re-
ports of brigandage he made it a point
to investigate these personally or through
members of his staff
While he was near Calabasa he was told
that six bandits had attacked the Los
Angeles estate end had been driven off
by the police after a sharp interchange
of shots. He sent Lieut.. Col Reber and
the Cuban general Jesus Monteaguedo. to
make inquiries. They found that there
had been no bandits near the estate, and
that the only basis for the story was that
Mr.. McCullagh, owner of the Unidos es-
tate, had seen flashes and heard firing in
the direction of Los Angeles.
In order to cause timidity among To-
baoco sellers and thus secure sales at low
prices, the buyers emphasized the danger
of the warehouses being burned if there
were any delay.
Other reports investigated had as little
foundation as the above.
To-day Gen. Wilson came to Havana and
conferred with Gov. Gen. Brooke. repre-
sentlng that there was no necessity for
rural police in the new department, as
Santa Clara was absolutely tranquil. and
that it would be a useless expense TO arm
500 men in each of the provinces, merely
to catch few chicken thieves. He said
he desired to use the appropriated $4,000
a month in other wGys.
Gen. Brooke adopted his conclusions.
and the rural guards in Santa Clara will
be disbanded.
The local papers to-day report that
twenty bandits made their appearance on
the plantation Constancia, led by a mu-
latto manner Marco a former captain of
guerillas. Warned by the alarm given by
the sentry, who called for help, they re-
treated, closely followed by the Cuban
troops under Cen Ezquerra.

WATSON TO SUCCEED DEWEY.
WHEN DEWEY FEELS HE CAN DE
SPARED FROM MANILA.

The Renr Admiral Ordered to Re
mort to Admiral Dewey as His
successOr-Dewey to Remain Until
the Commission Completes Its
NyorIx-OIympia VIII Come to New
YorIS-Mare Island Navy Yard Has
It's Hands Full.
Washington, May S.-The navy depart
,nent has selected a successor to Admiral
T..wev 10 command the Asiatic station.
Orders were issue to-day detaching Rear
Admiral Watson from command of the
Mare Island navy yard and ordering him
10 report TO Admiral Dewey at Manila to
relieve that officer when he feels that he
can be spared there.'
Rear Admiral Kempff, at present on
waiting orders, has been ordered to sue
coed Admiral Watson in command of the
Mare Island yard.
Ii was stated at the department to-day
that Admiral Dewey will come from Ma
Mia direct to New York when he returns
to the United States. However, it was
added the admiral viii not start until the
commission of which he is member, has
completed the work it has undertaken,
al least so far as it relates to the restora-
ton of peace in the islands.
The reason for bringing the flagship
Olympia to New York instead of having
her come TO San Francisco where she was
built is said to be primarily because Ad-
miral Dewey desires to take the passage
on his own flagship but also for the rea
son that the Mare Island navy yard
threatens to be overwhelmed with repair
work as soon as the numerous vessels of
Dewey's fleet begin to return to the Unit
ed States.
The Olympia Is in need of thorough
overhauling, having been away from her
home station longer than any of the YES
sells in the Asiatic feet, and having rem
dered more than the usual amount of hard
service during her absence.

"The situation is not as serious as one

several probable mistakes. Undoubtedly
the 'embalmed beef stories have been

FRENCH CABINETS TROUBLE.
Government Has Not Changed as TO
Dreyfus Revision.


Dreyfus Revision.
Fdris. May Sin the Chamber of Depu1
ties to-day, M. Georges Berry, national
ist, representing the Ninth arrondlsse-
ment of the Seine, questioned the govern
ment as to whether the resignation of the
portfolio OF war by NJ. de Freycinet was
due TO disagreement between the minis
Ter and his colleagues, or If NJ. de Frey
cinet had resigned because he wished no
longer to protect the chiefs of the army.
NJ. Berry also asked why the portfolio
of public works had been given 10 Mones-
tier, who had voted against transferring
of the Dreyfus case from the Criminal
Court to the whole Court Of Cassaton
The premier M. Dupuy replied that the
motives which NJ. Berry alleges were pure
Iy imaginary There was moi the shadow
Of a d.sagreemnt, he said within the
cabinet.
Regarding Monestier, M. Dupuy said his
appointment did not indicate any change
revision, which, moreover. could not be
regarded as the pivot Of Republican pol
!ay.
NJ Lazy, Nationalists. inquired II dis
accord in the cabinet was not due to a
change of sharp letters between M. dc
Freycinet and the minister Of foreign af-
fairs, NJ. Delcasse, concerning the Paleo-
ioaue incident.
Amidst great deal Of uproar, M. Dupuy
replied that the suggestion was unfounded
NJ Lavay interjeeted that M. Delcasse
was the possessor Of cheeks incapable Of
flushing even from smacks.
Great uproar and excitement ensued.
Finally NJ Lavay was formally eentured
and the subject was dropped for the order
OF the day, which the government accept
ed. The vote was al to 81.
