made because it would have Been impossi-
Bile to have camped the entire army with
in three miles of the coast OF Siboney.
Touching General Miles statement before
the Alger Relief Commission that officer
said Lawton had told him that there was a
scheme on foot to leave him (Lawton) in
the lurch. and have fight. General
Wheeler points out that General Miles was
careful to say that he only repeated what
Lawton told him.
False Statements.
Taking up the charge that Wheeler had
been relieved of command on the night Of
the 30th and had no command during the
battle on the following day. General
Wheeler says all these statements are ab-
solutely false. Thereupon he shows he
was assigned to his command on June a.
and tells what he did day by day in the
exercise of that command He says on
June 2S. 90. and 90 he suffered from fever
resulting from exposure. but nevertheless
continued his duties and was not put upon
the sick report.
He admits he was ignorant of the con-
ference held by Shafter and his generals
on June 80, but Shafter explained this by
saying he understood Wheeler was sick,
and his physician had advised against let
ting him know of the proposed battle the
next day. Notwithstanding this. Wheeler
says he learned that active preparations
were being made for operations and at
daylight on the next day he rode to the
front and exercised command
He tells of the various orders he gave to
Sumner and his reports to Shafter of what
be was doing. which supports his conten-
tion He tells of the weakness CT the line
at San Juan and says that many officers
insisted that the ridge could, not be held,
and he learned that the same statements
had been made to Shafter.
Il did everything in my power to dis
courage this feeling and told those who
came to me that the enemy had fed from
us at La Guasimas. and that we had driven
them from their Notifications on San Juan
Ridge. that they would expect us to take
Santiago the next day, that there was no
possible danger of their making an attack
upon us that night and that il they did we
could hold the ridge The fighting was
more or less severe during the day, but by
night we were well intrenched and l re-
garded our position as impregnable."
In the same report General Wheeler
says the statement that he had told Cen
eral Kent OF his desire to retreat was ab
solutely untrue
He says the publicity of the errors he
seeks to correct has brought to him many
offers from army officers familiar with the
facts to write him on the subject in 1efu-
tation, and he adds in the shape of an ap-
pendix to his own report a number OF let
ters from such officers He quotes General
Lawton in letter to himself as pronounc-
ing his (Wheeler's) history OF the cam
paign "a very just and accurate descrip-
tion of what occurred" and he quo,eS Gov
ernor Roosevelt as follows:
Il have read Bonsafs book and it makes
me extremely indignant. He seems to have
selected you as an especial object of at
tack. OF the Guasimas fight he knows ab-
solutely nothing"

Acndemy-"Johnny on the Spot"

Acndcmy-"Johnny on the Spot"
To judge by the audience at the Acad-
emy last night there are a great many
people in Washington who are looking for
spotted fever-of the kind purveyed by
Monroe and Mack, in their new farce,
Johnny on the Spot" This production is
speckled all over. for there are in 1t a
Spotter, a Black Spot, Beauty Spot. a
Pleasant, a Pretty, and Chilly Spot, as
well as other spots of various curious quail
tiles. And some of the puns and special
ties are warranted to knock spots off the
sun. All the patent soaps in creation could
not reduce this farce to spotless sameness.
Monroe and Mack themselves are sue
cessful fun makers under their several dis
guises, and do some clever character work.
Charles II. Boyle also moves from spot to
spot on the stage In n highly entertain
ing manner-sometimes on his feet, some
times on his nose, and sometimes in other
ways too numerous for mention. The act
ing OF Carrie Graham, as Sal Skinner, is
one OF the best things in broad caricature
lately seen at the Academy Miss Gra-
hams lines are bright, her business gives
her plenty of opportunities. and she COM
bines the two with a result like comic
sketch in a New York yellow supplement.
Several other members of the company also
make themselves amusing in singing. dane
ing. and other specialties. There is one
particularly worthy feature in this COM
edy. and that is the newness of the puns.
Most of the jokes now exploited in farce
and vaudeville are entitled TO pension on
account of age and feebleness. but the
audience was several times last night sur
prised into delighted laughter by the re-
lation of joke it had never heard before.
The music of the piece is extremely rem
iniscent. and there ia not much OF 1t. There

is supposed that the class of performances
sent the Lafayette has not always pleased
its proprietor. and that he b'ames the syn

easily De seen AT present there is no
theatre in Washington-excsp those
devoted to vaudeville-out of the combines
control, and attractions not dated by the
men mentioned have not been able to Sc
cure time here. In case the Lafaye,ts is
under the sole charge of Mr.. Painter, peo-
pie like Mrs Fiske, who have nsver b. fore
been allowed to enter this city, may break
through the trusts hold and into one of its
strongest points There seems to be every
reason for believing the story of the COM

PROF. PUTNAM ACCEPTS.
Letter From the New Librarian Il
Mr.. SpofYord

Mr.. SDoford.
Prof. Herbert Putnam. the newly-ap-
pointed Librarian OF Congress, is the only
man on record for the year 1899 who has
been pursued by an appointment. He was
away from Boston Monday OF last week,
when the notification of his appointment
reached that city. He did not get back
until Saturday. Then large smile must
have overspread his face when he opened
the official envelope.
He telegraphed his acceptance and fol-
lowed this with letter to Assistant Libra
rian Spofford. in which he said that, owing
to the fact that he had not been able to
confer with the President before his de-
parture, owing to his own absence. he
could not state definitely when he would
begin his labors in Washington. He will
come in day or two to confer with Mr.
Spofford.

Grnnd-vaudevflIe.
The defalcation of Marie Dressler and
Walter Jones from the stage OF the Grand
Opera House yesterday was probably felt
| more in the box office of that theatre
than anywhere else From this statement
it need not be inferred that the bill offered
by Managers Burke and Chase is an ex-
ceptionally good one, for no such praise
is intended. but only that the place left
vacant by the stars mentioned is filed
by two people quite as able TO entertain.

In For Reform" a sketch built on the
very example Is better than precept'
theme that served William Shakespeare
In ''The Tanning OF the Shrew." Too much
time Is wasted in the piece for 1t to be
perfect. but nothing in the play line yet
presented in vaudeville has been more
amusing and legitimate. The perform
ers are admirable, too. and the portion Of
the programme given them has been as
well occupied by only a couple of other
headliners-Lillian Burkhart and Sidney
Drew.
OF the remainder of last nights people
some good may be said and more than
an equal amount of bad. Wertz and Adair
begin the work Of the evening with a most
remarkable head to head and hand to
hand balancing act that deserved all the
applause it received, while Arthur Ans
den gets many new effects from the
various instruments on which he performs
and proves himself the peer Of any musi-
clan OF his class who has come to Wash
ington this season. Nellie Seymour pre-
sents serio-comic turn that is pathetic
in its dullness. and the Gilmore Sisters
combine with John w. West in giving
wretched skit wretchedly. The only not
able things in the labor of the trio are
Mr.. Vests dancing. the marvellous vocab
ulary of slang possessed by one Of the sis
ters, and the physical contortions that ac-
company the singing OF the other.
Considering the praise that has pre-
ceded Beatrice Moreiand. she and her ve-
hicle are a disappointment. "A Game Of
Golf Is built in good form, but the ma
terial used is neither new nor servicea-
