Havana, Dec. 23.--The supporters OF
General Masso IN IN candidacy for the
presidency of the republic have decided
to take no part in the coming elections
fixed for December 81. All the candidates
OF the party have withdrawn AMI the
Masso members of 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 representation on the
board Of scrutiny or an extension of
time in which to modify the voting list.
At meeting OF the party leaders a
resolution was adopted declaring that
''the central board is a coalition of par
tizans, and that General Masso, after ex-
hustinS every means to insure impair
tiality, rectitude and justice at the com
ing elections has become convinced that
in official circles in the United States the

GEN. MILES REPR|MANDED
TALKED ON SCHLEY VERDICT.
Secretary Root Calls Him Down and
Asks for an ENpianatiOn-The
Not satisfactory to SenatOr-May
Mean Another Trial.

Washington, Dec 22.-Because Lieuten
ant General Nelson \. Mics, in an IN
terview at Cincinnati, commented on the
findings OF the Schley court of inquiry,
Secretary of War Root, by direction Of
the president, severely reprimanded the
ranking officer of the army.
The words of Lieutenant General Miles
which gave oilense were contained in the
following expression:
81 am willing to take the judgment of
Admiral Dewey in the matter. He has
been ii commander of il fleet, and as such
has known the anXieties and responsible
ties which rest upon il man under these
circumstances. lie was instrumental in
the destruction OF one Spanish fleet, and
knows and realizes the feelings thai en-
compass an officer under such conditions.
l think Dewey has summed up the matter
In clear and concise manner, and | be-
lieve his conclusions will be indorsed by
the patriotic people of the United States
l have no sympathy with the efforts which
have been made to destroy the honor of
an officer under such circumstances"
The determination on the part of the ad-
ministration absolutely TO terminate fur
ther discussion of the Sampson-Schley
controversy took shape in the publication
of some remarkable correspondence that
has passed between Secretary Root AMI
Lieutenant General Miles relative to the
latter's interview, published in Cncin.
natl paper, commenting upon the Scnley
case. When the interview appeared, it
attracted much attention officially, but
after the lapse of two days without 1ny
sign of official action, the conclusion be
came general that the interview would he
ignored. Therefore the publication of the
full correspondence on this case created a
sensation in army and naval circles. It
is seldom that so severe a reprimand Is
administered to an officer of high rank
in either service. What the result will
be can not be foretold, although it is as
sumed that General Miles will submit
without further comment.
That General Miles appreciates the
situation is shown by the deep concern
he manifested and his frequent visits to
the office of Secretary Root. 1t was nee
essary for him to write two letters to
meet the demands of the department, and
even then there was no expression of sat
isfaction on the part OF the secretary for
the second explanation. However, Secre-
tary Root himself regards the incident as
closed. At least he does not purpose 70
take any further action unless obliged to
do so.
