WASHINGTON. March Special
Around General Miles headquarters the
ruinors Of Sd feeling between the Com
manding General and General Wheeler,
is regarded as being too absurd to call
for a denial. General Wheeler Is ire
quent caller at the office OF General Miles
and also al has residence. and within the
last day or TWO has called at the office.
General Miles friends say no does not
pay any attention 20 the stories, because
any statement ne might make would pro-
baby tend TO continue the contention
already existing in the Department. The
relations between the TWO officers Is
pointed out as q refutation of the re-
ports. There as no room Tor doubt That
q number OF prominent army Ofncers are
jealous of the record made by the doughty
httle oN-COnfederate in Cuba, but If the
Miles faction was In this cOteuo II would
help General Wheeler rather than in
jurc hlm IN the eyes of Mics arch enc
mlcs-the A ger faction. And as the mat
ter stands there is a probability that the
fact Of friendship for Miles may injure
him with the Secretary.
