Ex-secretsry of Stnte sherman E1-
presses Regret at Differences bss
tween shaftey snd Garcia

Former Secretary of State John
Sherman, in an interview, said: Il re-
gret TO hear of the reported differ
ences between Gems. Shafter and Gar
cia in Cuba. If the Cubans deserved
enough respect TO be recognized by
the United States, il seems TO me they
should be respected on the field of bat
tie. They have battled for liberty and
freedom from Spanish tyranny for half
a century or more and now that the
object which they have so long fought
for is in sight they should share in
the fruits of victory. Gen. Garcia
should have been invited to the sur
render of Santiago, and II he WAS not
blunder was made.
Congress passed resolution to ex-
pei Spain from Cuba. In that resolu-
tion it was clearly stipulated that we
would leave the island to the control
of the people thereof after firm and
stable government had been estab-
lished. Therefore we cannot with any
show OF consistency lay claim to the
island after il has been taken from
Spain.
at is yet to be determined whether
or not the Cubans are capable of self
government. If they are. well and
good. We should turn the island over
to them, but if the Cubans become dis
satisfied with their form of govern
ment after we set il up, and rebel
against il, we would doubtless feel
called upon to step in and take the
island. This, tc my mind, is the only
contingency which could arise where
in the United States would be justified
in taking Cuba"

Immortality. but not a restful believer.
He was all the time digging up the
roots of his faith to be sure they were
alive The old question would not stay
unanswered. The reader of his poetry
observes the same thing. he is always
ON the side Of faith. but of somewhat
disturbed faith. He belonged to that
"metaphy ysical society" which invited
into its membership believers of all
shades, with all shades Of unbelievers,
whose object was to raise and answer
doubts about God and the future life.
He was the spokesman of the scientific
doubt of the age fiuttering over the
doveoots of faith, but hardly settling
and resting and nesting therein.
One observes the contrast with this
euttering faith who reads the poems OF

trnst between "In Memnriam'' and
"Lyoidas." In Millions requiem, even

mind and heart are satisfied. The dear
friend is beyond all doubt among tho

that Tennyson s mental structure per

CALLED HIM A LIAR.

AS stated in the Gazette of that date
Commissiouary-G General Eagan, in his
testimony before the war investigating
commission yesterday, denied General
Miles's charges in regard to army beef,
denounced General Miles as 'lisr, F."
and said he should be drummed out OF
the service" He said, in effect, that
General Miles was not fit to associate
with decent people, and that either
General Miles or himself must get out
OF the army. General Eagan read his
testimony from typewriter manuscript.
1t had been carefully prepared, and
was read with passionate feryor. At
one time General Eagan said Of Gener-
al Milet: "He lies in his throat, he lies
in his heart, he lies in every hair of his
head and every pore of his body; he
lies willfully, deliberately, intentionally
and maliciously." Another sensational
remark was this: ''If bis statement is
false, as assert it to be, then he should
be drumme1 out OF the service and in
carcerated in prison with the other
sibelers."
The surprising accusation was made
in the presence of the Alger relief COM
mission. It was deliberately made and
the manner OF the accuser was deliber
ate. He said he.knewthe terrific sig
nifcance of the words he used.
The Commissary Generals charges
created the most profused sensation.
When the character of Gen. Esgan's
testimony became known at the War
Department 1t created greater sensa-
zion there than it had ct the Alger re.
lief commission. Officers familiar with
army laws said that General Eagan
could not escape court.martial.
General Miles's attention was called
to the statement read by the commissaiy
general at the War Department yester-
day afternoon. he was not inclined to
discuss it, but appeared rather amused
than otherwise affected by it. He con-
sidere2 it smilingly for few seconds
and said: "Thst billingsgate will do
him no good and hardly merits re-
sponse from me or the consideration of
any right-minded people. l will no.
say what action 1 shall take, but one
thing is certain, such language

General Miles received several letters
yesterday from officers speaking against
the beef furnished the army. Oae com.
munication was from Governor Roose-
veIt, who stated that supply of beef in
the shape of quarters was put or the
vessel on which be went to Cubs, to be
tried. 1t was supposed to have been
subjected to sons preparation to pre-
serve it, but it became 80 putrid that i.
had to be thrown overheard Governor
Roosevelt also said that the timed
roast beef was not palatable and his
men could hardly eat fifth of it.
