Mr. Coriiss made similar request re-

A resumption of discussion of the
receipts and expenditures of the treas
ury. which attracted considerable at
tention last week, was again precipitat-
ed by Mr.. Sulzer Oem., N. ", who
offered some figures as to the cost of
the steamship subsidy bill.
Mr.. Cannon reiterated his statement
of last week relative to the shipping
subsidy and Nicaraguan canal bill.
Mr.. Payne, chairman of the commit
tee which reported the subsidy bill,
said he welcomed any information that
would throw light upon the bill. but he
protested against alarming statements
as to the deficiencies in advance. Esti-
mates did not always coincide with
appropriations. AS an Illustration he
cited the fact that the estimates for
the army bill had ranged as high as
$145, 600. 000 whereas the military com
mittee had prepared a bill carrying less
than $S0.000000. He asked why Mr..
Cannon had not thrown his influence
against the public building bills a few
days ago. Those bills, he said, would
take more money from the treasury
than 10th the subsidy and canal bills
together.
Mr.. Cannon declared that if the bill
carried but SS0,000,000 there would be a
deficit on that account of S45 900 900

Secretary Aiger Declined to Discuss
Boards Ccnsure of the General.

Secretary Aiger Declined to Discuss
Boards Ccnsure of the General.
NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-When asked
about the criticism by the war COM
mission of Gen. Miles, Secretary of War
Aiger asked to be excused from talk
ing about that. Secretary Alger said
ii cCnneC ton with the intended naming
Of a commanding officer of the army
that he thought a regular army man
would be named in preference TO a
volunteer, although congress could do
as il wished about such matters
Secretary Ayers attention was call
ed tC the selling of supplies liz Havana
at less than the regular market rates,
i'll connection with which it was said
| that the supplies were all army rations.
The secretary said:
Col. Bliss, who was in charge of
the collection of customs at Havana,
was asked to investigate this, when it
was learned that such sales were be-
ing made. Some persons were selling
supplies at Less than any one else
could sell them after importing them
and paying the duty. Col Bliss found
that two men were buying up all the
surplus rationS from the troops. The
! ratlons the troops received were more
than they could wish, and it is consid-
cred legitimate to sell them again.
1t is q general practice in the army
for companies to sell their surplus ra-
tons and place the sums received to
the credit of the company fund. The
men We're in a way carrying on q legiti-
mate business.
Col. Bliss found that they had a
store house full of flour and coffee, and
some other things and that they We're
able to sell flour at So a barrel less than
M -hn q
paying duty on it. He told them after
consulting Washington that they must
either Fay duty on the goods or he
would prevent them from selling them
This practically stopped this practice.
Orders were given to the commissary
department to buy back the extra ra-
tions 50 that the soldiers would get as
much from the government SIS from
outsiders AID save the scandalous
talk
In speaking of the Philippine and
Santiago campaigns, Secretary Alger
said:
Gen. Shafter and his expedition had
to land on hostile island and do the
attacking during the worst season
there, the hottest part of the rainy
season. Gen. Otis had been at Manila
for some time and he was prepared for
the attack. In Santiago Gen Shafter
had to attack the Spaniards, while in
the Philippines our forces occupied the
position the Spaniards had in Santi-
ago
Gen. Alger said he wished to make no
criticism of Gen. Otis, who had done
! brilliant work in Manila He said that
the two campaigns could hardly be
| compared, as they had been fought at
different seasons and from different
positions. The general, in each case.
he declared. was entitled to great
credit
Secretary Alger spoke generally of
the work now being done in Cuba. He
said that there was very little friction
at Santiago. In spite of the reports
to that effect Gen. Wood and Gen.
Brooke were working In entire har-
mOnY.
