GEN. ALGER'S STATEMENTS.
Gen. Miles Undecided Whether II
VIII Notice Them.

Gen. Miles lnuec1deO "netner ne
Will Notice Them.
Gen. Miles was beset today by news
paper men seeking to secure from him
some expression of opinion as to the re-
Gently published chapter from ex-Secretary
Ayers book relative to the beef supply of
the United States army during the Spanish
American war. To most of these he was
inaccessible, having to dispose of great
accumulation of business resulting from his
absence in the south. To the few who saw
the general he had nothing of substance to
add to what he had said last night upon
this subject. o.
He was still undecided as to whether he
should make any answer to the criticisms
passed upon his course or whether he
should Ignore what he denominated the
false statements contained in the article. on
the ground that the American public, the
last court of resort, had already passed
upon the controversy, which had no new
features the result of this resurrection.
The general was in close consultation dur
ing the day with some of his close adher-
ents and friends in the army and In civil
life. and this fact. taken in connection with
the general character of his utterances, led
to the belief that If he makes any answer
at all to the article, he will not do so with
out all proper consideration of the subject,
so that no immediate outgiving Is to be ex-
pected.
The New York Herald quotes Gen. Miles
as having said:
"A great many statements that former
Secretary of War Alger makes in his ar
ticle on The Food of the Army During the
Spanish War are absolutely untrue The
case was tried in the high court Of public
opinion and the press. and its verdict was
given two years ago.
AS TO the statements which Mr. Alger
makes which are untrue. l cannot discuss
them L do not propose to so into details
now / intend to answer the article, but l
will do so in my own time. That is all |
care to say now.

Greetinx. to Their CHIEF.

It looked as If a bit Of the tropics had
been transplanted in the Office of the audi
tor for the Post Office Department today.
Ever since Auditor Castle took charge Of
the bureau it has been the custom of the
clerks to decorate the room and meet after
office hours to wish their popular chief a
happy New Year. This year they have out
done themselves, and the spacious office is
a perfect bower Of choice exotics, beautiful
roses and rare palms. Some Of the latter
came from the Philippines, and they were
especially appropriate, in view Of the fact
that Deputy Auditor Lawshe is shortly to
leave for the eastern archipelago to fill the
position of auditor for the islands. The re-
ception took place after Office hours and
was an entire success. Auditor Castle met
the clerks at his desk and had a cordial
word for all.

Colonel Human left his home yesterday
morning at IL o'clock to see his aged
mother, going thence into the mountains
for walk.
+ He was noted pedestrian, and being fond
OF geology knew nearly every path in the
foothills. His family became alarmed over
his non-return, but thought he might have
tarried with a ne.ghbor. This morning
their fears were intensified and over a hun
dred searchers went out to look for him.
The first tidings were that he had been seen
three miles from Pinto. This increased the
alarm, as a lawless gang of negroes ana
Italians is working on the cut off there. a
murder recently having been committed
and a number Of bloody fights having oc
Cured.
Friends Feared Murder.
His friends at once suspected murder, but
nothing is as yet known as to the cause of
his death. He may have been overcome by
the cold and fell over the crags, as he was
fond of moving along precipitous places.
His body is now being brought to Cumber-
land. The coroner is summonfng a jury.
Col. Luman was one of the best known
and most popular men in public life in
western Maryland. An election is required
every six years, but a life tenure in the Of

leading social circles. Col. Human was
son of Samuel Luman noted stage driver
on the old national pike, who was contem-
poraneous with Hanson Wilson, who died
here Saturday. Col Luman was brother
in-law of the late VIII H. ~Lowdermilk, the
author and noted bookwerm of Washing
