MAY BE RELIEVED.
President Said 10 Contemplate "A Re-
buLe 10 gen. Miles for Talking
Too Much.

ST. Louis. Feb. "A Washington dis
patch 10 the Globe Democrat says: A
proposition TO relieve Gen. Miles from
command of the army was under con-
alteration Wednesday at the white
house and its adoption was foreshad-
owed. IL was established to the salts
faction of the president he could relieve
Gen. Miles from command without
charges or other preliminary action
and without giving reasons. Tha. the
president is inclined 20 do this can be
stated on high authority. As the facts
come out the otfense of Gen. Miles APP
pears even greater than the publication
of his statement Wednesday morning
would indicate. As recently as Satur-
day Gen. Miles received a warning 10
stop his free tongue.
The suggestion was conveyed TO him
with the conviction Of Gen. Eagan he
could afford TO cease his attacks on the
administration Of the war department.
He was asked 20 maintain silence. lie
knew that the suggestion represented
the wish OF the president for with IL
was coupled an intimation that il he
continued his attacks some notice
would have 10 be taken Of them. In
stead of keeping still, Gen. Miles pre-
pared the most defiant statement Of the
many he has given. He not only re-
peated his charges against the admin
istration and the war department, but
he sought TO cast discredit upon the
war investigation commission.
III the president relieves Gen. Miles
from command, as is indicated. he will
probably send him TO department.
This would, on its face. be recognized as
severe reproof. With this relief from
command furnishing him. and the re-
port OF the commission contradicting
him, Gen. Miles would be forced prac-
tically 10 ask court of inquiry. That
he would do SO there is no doubt. And
then would come the investigation OF
the management Of the war depart
ment, with the burden of sustaining
his charges resting upon Gen. Miles.
Should he fail to make good his allega-
lions a court-martial would be the next
thing. 1t seems probable that the
president will act shortly. The confer
ence at the white house Wednesday aft
ernoon points that way. That Gen
Miles is ex-Secretary Shermans candi-
date for the presidency there seems TO
be every reason TO believe. Recently
Mr.. Sherman has vigorously supple
mented the interviews Of Gen Miles,
declaring that the rights nf the soldiers
must be recognized as against those
who have been guilty Of mistreating
them.
