TALKS 1T OVER WITH SAMPSON
Impressions That the Commodore Carried
Away With Him.

SchIey then told of the arrival OF
the New York wIIh Sampson on board,
and of visit he paid Sampson i'm
mediateIy. Il found that the admiral
was very much worn. and necessarily
so. because his responsibility had beeh
very great He had had great trouble
in keeping his squadron together, and
EC appeared to me as if he waS in n
good deal of anxiety. which l coulu
readily appreciate" Then they talked
cf the division Ofthe feet. and Samp-
son said that which ever side | went
on to remember that they were very
heavily fortified. and that his confiden-
tial instructionS-which he delivered
TO me verbally-were that we were not
to risk our battleships against the for
tilted places of the coast until after
the Spanish squadron had been dis
posed of.
Ny recollection now is that he told
me IL was at Curacao. The impression
left upon my mind was that il was
somewhere in the Venezuelan gulf. and
that it was supplied with ammunition
and stores destined to Havana, and
that was undoubtedly the point it was
20 reach. He said his information was
that the orders of the Spanish fleet to
reach Hanava or some point in railroad

that Cienfuegos would be the point.

the order more directly. We looked

with him. 1 could not imagine that
any one who had studied the military
situation of the island at all could have
supposed that Santiago would have full
filled any of the conditions Of this in

Il asked the admiral If there had
been established any means of com
rnunicating with the insurgents; wheth-
er there were any pilots, or whether
any locality was known where they
were to be found. He told me that he
did not know. -but that when he got
the situation better in hand he would

His policy of caring for the men and

No affirmative action may he taken

Since the abolishment OF the canteen
last March the effect on the army has
been closely watched by the depart
n;ant. and apparently with different
results. The enemies of the canteen-
among whom General Miles is num-
hered by rumorS-declare that expert
ence has proved the wisdom of the law.
They assert that the American soldier
has been Just as comfortable and con-
tented without the canteen "a he was
with il. and that the efficiency and
morals of the army have been i'm

Those who are willing TO give the en-
listed men the canteen arrive alta diff
ferent conclusion and present stronger
evidence. II must be admitted. than the
Other side. They affirm that the abol-
ishment OF the canteen has been fol
lowed by the establishment of saloons
near the forts and posts and that the
restriction has increased the drunken
ness among the men.

Information received here is To the
effect that the enemies of the canteen
are preparing TO fight the repeal of the
law. The temperance organizations
all over the country are preparing peti-
tions to influence the senators and rep
to vote against the repeal
bill. General Miles report will be used
as strong argument in support of the
law.

tive Comment.

Washington, Oct. 2J.-Temperance
workers who aided the passage of the
anti-canteen law last winter viii be in
terested in the report that General
Miles has Joined the idea and will urge
its retention. \ determined effort will
be made at the coming session to re-
peal the law and TO re-establish the
canteens. so much desired by the enlist
ed men stationed ut posts all over the
country and our new possessions. The
announcement that General Miles will
declare against the canteen in the an
nual report he is preparing has, there
fore. additional significance at this
time. Naturally, the commander-in-
chief of the army refuses 10 discuss the
matter in advance of the appearance
of his report. but the rumor that he
has Joined the anti-canteen forces is
generally believed.
Roof and Miles May CIash.
The knowledge that large majority
of the army. including Secretary Root
and Aajutant General Corbin, favor
the canteen as a comparatively harm
less comfort for the soldiers. adds ma
terial to the piquancy of the situation.
Ii is expected Secretary Root will urge
the return to the canteen system in his
report TO congress, as he opposed the
law passed last session and has not
since altered his views of its desira
bilfty. If General Miles turns against
the canteen he VIII show decided
change OF opinion. Heretofore he has
been considered a strong champion OF
the system. and was instrumental in
helping the passage of the law which
permitted the sale of light liquors and
articles used by the men at the army
posts.

 "As for the poor wretched, degener- ate criminal who fired the shot, we know that the punishment provided by law will reach him, but what punish ment will fall upon those who are re- sponsible for this awful crime? We cannot fail to recognize that, to cer- tain extent at least, a perverted ana reckless press, which has not hesitated to coin conscience into dollars, Is re- sponsible. As long as we continue to countenance such newspapers by our subscriptions or our advertisements just 90 long can assassins justify their destardly conduct by the specious ar gument of a press that poses as moral teacher"

VALE ATHLETES LEAVE.

They Will Meet Harvard To-Day at the
 Berkeley Oval.
 The members of the Yale track team left New Haven last night for New York. where they meet the Harvard team to-day to decide upon a team that will meet the Englishmen on Sep- tember 25.
 Yale will in all probability be unable to secure as many of her men on the dual American team as Harvard Boardman and Hargrave seem to be the only sure men except possibly Spraker, the high and broad jumper. Roardman is conceded to be the equal of any man on either of the interna- tional teams however constituted, in his particular event, the 220-yard dash. Hunter, of Yale, will run in the ESQ., ward run instead of the 440yard run, as heretofore. MT. Murphy thinks he has struck his pace better in the longer event. Teal has been changed to the helf-mile event, and Franchot has been turned into mile-runner under the tltelage of Wadron, who unselfishly acts as his pacemaker. Waldron has not been himself this summer, and may not be entered at all!
