such has known the anxieties ana re-
probabilities which rest on men IN
der these circumstances. he was III
strumental in the destruction OF one

matter in clear and, concise manner,
and believe his conclusions Will pc
indorsed By the patriotic people OF the
United States. have no sympathy
with the efforts which have been made
10 destroy the honor of an ofacer un-

quoted language, General Miles ad-
