General Miles Reprimanded.

Washington, Dec 21.-Because Lieu
tenant General Nelson A. Miles, in an
interview at Cincinnati, commented on
the findings of the Schley court of in
quiry, Secretary of War Root, by di-
rection OF the president, today severely
reprimanded the ranking officer OF the
army. The words of Lieutenant Gen
eral Miles which gave offense we're con-
tained in the following expression:
Il am willing to take the Judgment of
Admiral Dewey in the matter. He has
been commander of feet and as such
has known the anxieties and RESPONSE
billties which rest upon a man under
those circumstances. He was instru-
mental in the destruction of the Spanish
fleet, and knows and realizes the feelings
that encompass an officer under such
conditions. think Dewey has summed
up the matter in a clear and concise
manner, and | believe his conclusions
will be indorsed by the patriotic people
OF the United States. | have no SYM
pathy with the efforts which have been
made to destroy the honor of an officer
under such circumstances.

Majority Verdict Stands

Washington, Dec. 21.-Secretary Long
has disposed finally of the Schley case,
so lar as the navy department is con.
cerned, by acting upon the findings and
conclusions OF the court OF inquiry. He
approves the findings of fact and the
opinion of the full court: he approves
the majority opinion where there is a
difference in the court; he holds that the
court could not have entered into con
slderation OF who commanded at Sapti-
ago, and finally he accepts the recon-
mendatiOn that no further proceedings
be had. The secretary also has declined
the application Of Admiral Sampson's q
counsel to enter upon an inquiry into
the question OF command and has noti-
lied Admiral Schley's counsel of that
TACT as reason for declining to hear
them on that point. In conformity
with the foregoing, the secretary issued
an order dissOlving the court OF inquiry.

Cnban Sour Grapes,

Havana, Dec. 21-The supporters of
General Masso in his candidacy for the
presidency of the republic have decided
to take no part in the coming elections
fixed for December 81. All the candi-
dates OF the party have withdrawn and
the MassO members ni the provincial
boards have been requested to resign.
These steps were decided upon after the
receipt Of letter from Governor Wood,
refusing to grant the party representa-
ton on the board of scrutiny or an ex-
tension of time in which to modify the
voting list. At meeting OF the party
leaders resolution was adopted declar-
ing that ''the central board is a coali-
tiOn OF partisans, and that General Mas
so, after exhausting every means to in
sure impartiality, rectitude and justice
at the coming elections, has become con-
vinced that in official circles in the Unit
ed States the intention does not exist to
see that the elections are carried out
with sufficient legality to reflect the real
wishes of the Cubans who are desirous of
independence and anxious to freely elect
their first constitutional government"

Railroad managers, at special meet
ing held at Chicago, discussed the advis-
ability OF raising wages of employees east
of that city 10 to II per cent, to bring
them to par with the western pay. The
congested state OF business, especially in
the movement of coal, prompted the ac-
ton. 1t seems probable that something
favorable to the employees will result.

murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, Sept. ia slightly lower
level of prices was reached in the early
cotton market on selling by several
leading commission houses at the in
stance of prominent exporters whose
interest it is to depress the market. A
bullish feature was the issue by Eli
son of Liverpool of an estimate show
ing eleven million bales of American
cotton as requisite for the worlds re-
quirements the coming season. AL
though business is slack at present
sellers are keeping aloof and will con-
tinue to do so unless receipts of new
cotton show a decided increase. -
Later the matter of frost monopolized
attention, and the impression that
sharp cold snap will materialize I'M
usually early this year. Some stop or
ders accelerated the early decline. A
decline of 10 points during the morning
was mainly owing to reports brought
from the South by a representative of
a leading local firm who had been on
months tour of observation to the eff
feet that a full crop was quite possible,
reporting a very poor condition in Ala
bama. Some state that the boIls are
rotting badly or have stopped fruiting,
and others say it is getting wore every
day. Texas reports are Of the same
character, as a rule. as those that have
come to hand the past sixty days.
