II! N MINIS Hi JUDGMENT
Sustained in q Statement Issued
From Army Headquarters.
RE1NFoRoENENTs FOB MANILA.

When Admiral Dewey Believed That
Five Thousand Men Could Capture
and Hold the Philippines Con. Miles
Urged That FifteenThousand Be sent
Washington, July 18.--A statement
was prepared at army headquarters
yesterday and given out for publication
containing the correspondence between
General Miles and the war department
regarding the sending Of troops to
Manila. The statement says:
There has been some discussion In
the press recently relating to an al
legged difference of opinion regarding
! the number Of troops to be sent to
the Philippine islands In the first In
: Immediately upon receiving the
news, through press dispatches, Of
Deweys victory at Manila, General
Miles recommended the dispatch of
military force to the Philippine islands.
In his letter he recommended that Cen
eral Anderson be sent with 5000 men.
including volunteers from California,
Oregon and Washington. This recon-
mendation was endorsed by the presi-
dent, "if approved by the secretary OF
war;" on May 4.
Up to this time no communication
had been received from Admiral Dew
ey, his first dispatch, dated May /, not
reaching Washington until the 7th.
In this dispatch Admiral Dewey gave
his opinion that 5000 men would be
sufficient to capture and control the
Philippine islands. He estimated the
Spanish force, at 10000 men and the
rebel force at 10000. vt
On May 16, 1898, after seeing the
above dispatch from Admiral Dewey,
General Miles recommended that, I'm
order to make the United States force
as strong and effective as possible with
view to its maintaining our possess
sion and our flag in the Philippine
islands, and at the same time relieve
our navy as speedily as possible cer-
tain regiments, aggregating 15,425 men,
be forwarded at once to Manila.
1t was General Miles opinion that,
in view of the admiral's statement that
the Spanish force was estimated at
10000 men, 1t would be advisable for
us to have preponderating force.
In the meantime General Merritt
had been selected to command the ex-
petition for the Philippines, and in a
letter to the president dated May Is,
1898, he submitted an estimate of
troops necessary to constitute such an
expedition comprising 14,400 men, of
which number 5000 were regulars. On
May Is he supplemented this by an
estimate for siege battery and a
small ordnance detachment.
General Miles had not seen General
Merritt's estimate when he wrote the
letter of May 16.
1t thus appears that there was no
controversy regarding the number of
troops to be sent, General Miles, in
fact, having designated more than
General Merritt called for, but only a
difference Of opinion as to the COM
position of the force, General Merritt
desiring to have more regulars than
were designated by General Miles.
Certain newspapers have attempted
to show that General Miles did not
want more than 5000 troops to be sent
to the Philippines under General Mer-
rift, but the official correspondence
shows this not to be the fact.

Down with the trusts will be the
cry OF the Democrats at the coming
Presidential election. With the Re-
publican slogan also down with the
trusts, you can take your choice on
the 16 to l platform or the gold
standard. Free soup houses under
Democratic success or plenty OF
work and American independence
under Republican success. The
workingman cannot always be
fooled into voting away his bread
and butter. .f

BY tearing out part Of his low

Williamsport yesterday saved his
lite. He was leaning over, adjust

caught and forcibly drawn down
upon an emory wheel, which ground

was one of the closest and quickest
shaves he ever experienced in his
life.

New York, July 1S.-A great number
of suggestions as to the methods of
making the reception of Admiral
Dewey & success have been received by
General Butterfield and other members
of the executive committee. One that
has appealed very much to General

shall continue three, instead of two
days, the third day to be civilian
day, the second land parade day and
the first naval parade day.

a decision regarding the duty on a

duty of so per cent under paragraph
which relates to decorated china. The

imposing duty of 20 per cent ad va
loren upon paintings in oil or water
color. The protest is overruled, and
the assessment of duty Is affirmed. Mr.
Gould will have to pay about $S,400

should be decided upon to hold the
different Offices, the members left

before Thursday evening. when the
new officials should be elected by
City Council. From present APP

The Brooklyn strike is on. The
cars are being run with consider
able difficulty, about one-third the
usual number of cars being run un-
der police protection. The men
should be treated fairly by the COM
panies and then the back bone of
the strike would soon be broken and
all the men would return to work
and the public given the travelling
accommodations that were in force
before the strike was inaugurated.
The men should be treated gener-
'ously and have no just cause to
complain that they are compelled
to work over ten hours, which shall
constitute days work. A work
ingman's labor is all the capital he
has, and when that is ground down
he becomes nothing more than a
serf. With good wages and plenty
of work, the workingman is as hap
py as king and circulates his
money with the storekeepers.
