WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON,
April % 1900 \

WASHINGTON,
April %, 1889.
"Llke master like man." Secretary
Alger's fight upon Gen. Miles has most
ly been of an undetermined nature, SO it
is not very surprising that the report of
the Military Court of Inquiry, now in
Mr.. McKinley's hands, should seek to
make its attack upon Gen. Miles seem
fair by jumping on few minor COM
misssry officers and recommending that
they be court-martialed for neglecting
their duty in connection with the beef
supplied to the army-a neglect that
the report says was extremely profitable
to the beef contractors. This thing isn't
done with. Gen. Miles was completely
indicated by the evidence taken and he
intends to keep on fighting until his
vindication is officially recognized, and
he has been assured of support by
prominent men in Congress, some of
them republicans. He has known from
the first that the personal enmity of
two men connected with tho Court of
Inquiry would have prevented his get
ting fair treatment, even with Secre-
tary Alger's influence against him left
out of consideration.
Political pull was stronger with Mr..
Mckinley than his friendship for Gen
eral Joe Wheeler; consequently "Fight-
ing Joe's" application for active service
in the Philippines was turned down,
and that eminent political warrior Fred
Grant, chosen as one of the three Brig
adler Generals that are to be sent to the
Philippines at once; the other two being
Bates, who has just been detached from
the command of the Santa Clara pro-
vince, Cuba, and Young, who has been
supervising the mastering out of vOlun-
teers in the South. Gen. Wheeler has
repeatedly said that he would resign
his commission If he could not get
active service, but it is stated that he is
to be offered command of the Depart
ment of Texas, which is to be revived.
If Gen. Wheeler accepts this command,
it will be an indication that there is
something in the story of his expecting
to be appointed Brigadier General in
the regular army.
Things are far from being satisfact-
DRY in Porto Rico. Thirty-nine deaths
from starvation have been officially re-
ported from a single province since
the free government rations were sus-
pended, aud 100000 are reported to be
continuously hungry. 1t is proposed
by the Red Cross to establish depots in
the large cities for the sale of Porto
Rican products for the benefit of the
poor on the island. The stuff will be
given by Porto Rican planters and mer-
chants and brought to the U. 8. free
