New York, May 5--A special to the
Journal and Advertiser from Washing
ton says,
General Miles makes a sharp criticism
OF the engineering department IN the
disappearing gun carriage matter in
which he characterizes the arguments
Of Gen. John NJ Wilson, chief Of en-
gineers. as academic"
Gen. Miles also takes occasion to pay
his respects 10 the futility Of the furi-
Gus fire Of SIMPSONS feet at the an
Client artillery Of Spain az Santiago
Gen. Miles points out that the dis
appearing gun carriage had been used
IN this COUNTRY TO the exclusion prac-
tically Of all others. Gen. Miles con-
tinues; THE conclusion 10 mount up
ward Of 80 per cent Of our modern high
power coast defence guns IN deep pits
on disappearing carriages was appar-
emily reached after a long continued
academic discussion OF the subject In
successive annual reports OF the chief
OF engineers. This conclusion Is not be-
lieved 10 be based upon any practical
results Of fire from ship board on land
fortihcations obtained ln war service.

accord with the facts, since the fight
ing at Hout Mex and Thaba N'Chu has
been too serious and protracted to be
regarded as feint, and as Brandfort
has not been held by the Beers In suifi-
cient strength to render It's capture a

THE NEW CLUBS TOO WEAK.
Atlantic League in Danger of Going
to Pieces.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa. June 1O.-After a
rather disastrous week financially, the At
lantic League faces the struggle of the
next six days. The new Reading team and
the Harrisburg club have proved failures.
Neither has won a game and Reading out
of six games played has been "whitewash-
ed three times and scored only eleven
runs to her opponents eighty-four. The
game scheduled with the team in this city
on Friday was postponed owing to tie
clubs weakness.
All the teams have drawn poorly, and
there is little hope of the attendance in
creGsing, while they cannot reduce ex-
pcnses much without falling apart.
Wilkesbarre has sent Pitcher Magic to
Pittsburg and released Third baseman
Nice. ]. p. Burke a pitcher on the st.
Bonaventure College team, has been en-
gagged. The release of Pitcher Goodwin Is
expected. Catcher Barber has been re-
leased and Captain and Shortstop Clymer
is wanted by Buffalo. Despite all this the
directors say the club will last throughout
the season,
