LANGUAGE WHICH LED
TO CENSURE OF MILES

Washington, Dec. 22.-It was the
language used by General Nelson a.
Miles In the Interview telegraphed
from Cincinnati, December 18th. that
led to the censure by the secretary OF
war. General Miles said:
81 am Willing to take The judgment
OF Admiral Dewey In the matter. lie
been n commander of n fleet. and as
such has known the anNictles and re-
sponslbllitles which rest on men un-
der these circumstances. lie was in
strumental In the destruction of one
Spanish fleet and knows and realizes
the feelings thar encompass an officer
under such conditions.
81 think Dewey has summed up the
matter In n clear and concise manner.
md | believe his conclusions viii he
indorsed by the patriotic people Of the
United States have no sympathy
with the cfforts which have been made

When called 10 nccount for the above
quoted language, General Miles ad-
dressed the following letter 10 Secrc-
tary Root:

TAXES IN EUROPE.
They Are Much Higher Than They Are In
America.

People in the United States who are
grumbllng about high taxes should find
much consolation In the knowledge
that their property Is not situated in
any OF the European capitals. In Ber-
lin, for example. the great American
life insurance companies are required
TO Invest n certain portion of their as
sets In city property, and their taxes,
which are no higher than those OF 9th
er real estate owners. amount annual
ly to more than onc-thlrd of their re-
cclpts from rentals. In Vienna taxes
are even higher The man who owns
the building In which the American le-
cation Is located divides the rent with
the government In equal shares. The
same rates prevail In other large Eu-
ropean cities.
In addition TO this the building resu-
lntions are rigid. and every structure
must be iire-proof, with stone stair
cases to the top iloor. double walls,
floors and roofs of steel ana terra cot
IN. The front must correspond with
the adjoining buildings In height and
architectural treatment. A poor
man cannot build home In any OF ths
European cities. lie must 20 into the
suburbs. Hence most OF thc ground
owned by individuals Is leased TO
building companies and capitalists

Washington. Dec. %. - Secretary
Long has disposed finally of the Schlcy
case so far MS the Navy Department is
concerned, by acting upon the findings
and conclusions of the court of in
quiry.
He approves the findings of fact
and the opinion of the full court; he
approves the majority opinion where
there Is difference in the court; he
holds that the court could not have
entered into n consideration of the
question of command at the battle of
Santiago, and, finally, he accepts the
recommendations that no further pro-
ceedings shall be had
Secretary Long yesterday issued the
formal order dlssolying the Schley
court of inquiry. The order was com
municated at once TO Admiral Dewey,
president of the court. who acknowl-
edged It's receipt ana said that in con-
formity with the order of the secre-
tary he had announced the dissolution
of the court.
The secretary also has declined the
application of Admiral SIMPSONS
counsel to enter upon an inquiry into
the question OF command and has noti-
fed Admiral Schley's counsel of that
fact as reason for declining TO hear
them on that point.
Secretary Longs approval Of the ma
jorlty report was MS follows:

mony in this case. the arguments of

toward others in the military service,
are prohibited.'
In this controversy the army has
not been involved, and no bar has been
raised to that good feeling and friend
ly relation between the officers of the
navy and the officers of the army.
which is so essential to the successful
and harmonious cooperation of the
two services in preparation and In ac-
tion. A court of inquiry had been held
on the matters in the controversy and
n report had been made in which one
member of the court had dissented
in some particulars from the majority
and the report was pending before the
reviewing authority.
AT this point, as the lieutenant gem
eral of the army, you saw fit to make
n public expression of your opinion as
between the majority and the minority
of the court, accompanied by n criti-
cism of n most severe character, which
could not fail to be applied by the gen
erality of readers to the naval officers
against whose view your opinion was
expressed. 1t is of no consequence on
whose side your opinion was, or what
it was. You had no business in the
controversy, and no right, holding the
Office which you did, to express any
opinion. Your conduct was in viola
ton of the regulation above cited and
the rules Of official propriety; and you
are justly liable to censure, which
now express.
Very respectfully,

There seems no excus for the contin'

find It in turnips. onions, cabbage, eau

such quantities that the French term

SPECIALISTS rate it as the most precious
Of vegetables.
In ease of annmia cabbage, cauliflow-
err and spinach proved distinctly bene-
fetal. "Love apples" our modern to-
mato, stimulated the healthy action or
the liver. Asparagus was beneficial in
kidney troubles. Celery was Il sure
cure for rheumatism and neuralgia.
TIE carrot formed blood and added to
the beauty of the skin. Beets and tur-
nips kept the blood pure and improved
the appetite. Water cress, like aspara-
gus, was good for the kidneys and was
q stimulant to mind and body. Lettuce
was extremely beneficial for tired
nerves and the lassitude peculiar to
spring.
Parsley proved al excellent tonic and
also cleared the complexion, while the
whole array Of green's" mustard, COW
slip, horseradish, dock, dandelions'
young beet tops and W stalks of the
milkweed were r%eligiously added to the
springtime bill Of fare, to clear the
blood, regulate the system and remove
that tired feeling so closely associated
with the vernal season.
