GENERAL ALGER REPLIES TO DAVIS.
QUOTES EXTRACTS FROM THE LATTER's BOOK
TO REFUTE HIM

TO REFUTE HIM.
Harper & Brothers yesterday gave out for pub
lcation General Russell A. Alger's reply to Rich
ard Harding Davis's attack his book A part
OF the letter says:
But before Mr.. Davis constitutes himself cham
pion OF the entire newspaper corps Of eighty-nine
men in Cuba I would call his attention 70 TWO
written statements The first is from Mr.. Ro9se SSs
velt's Rough Riders (APpendiX D, Page 2ael :
There many wholly erroneous accounts or
the Guasinas fight published at the time, for the
most part written by newspaper men who were in
the rear and utterly ignorant OF what really oc-
Cured" The second Is from Mr.. Richard Harding
Davis's Cuban and Porto Ricau Campaigns (fage
1872; The first accounts OF the fight came from
correspondents three miles away, at Siboney, VINO
received their Information from the wounded men
when they were carried 70 the rear and from an
officer who stampeded before the fight had fairly
begun"
II is difficult to see wherein Mr.. Roosevelt's or
Mr. Davs's estimate Of the behavior OF some OF
the newspaper men differs from mine. They say
that certain unspecifed correspondents stayed de-
uberatey in the rear during the fight and wrote
laundering falsehoods I say that they went to the
and committed that offence
AS to lawsuit, that is a matter better discussed
both by MI Davis and me with counsel than with
