Letter Of Reprimand Sent by Secre-
tary of War
BY TEE PRESIDENTS DIRECTION
His Comment on Schley Findings
Severely Censured.
THE CORRESPONDENTS

AS indicated In Saturdays Star. the Sec
retary Of War has. by direction Of ths
President, administered a severe rebuke II
Lieut.. Gen. Miles. commanding the army
for his public commendation OF the fndi
vidual findings Of Admiral Dewey thai
Rear Admiral Schley was la absolute com
mand at the battle OF Santiago bay and
entitled to the credit of the victory ovel
the Spanish fleet Gen. Miles alleged of
fense consisted of q statement made by
him in Cincinnati on the 10th instant ir
reference to the findings Of the Schley
court Of inquiry.
Gen. Miles, Statement.
This statement was published broadcast
and was the subject Of general comment
It was as follows:
st am willing to take the judgment OF
Admiral Dewey In the matter. He has
been a commander Of a fleet. and as such
has known the anxieties and responsible
ties which rest on a man under these cir.
cumstances. He was instrumental in the
destruction of one Spanish fleet, and knows
and realizes the feelings that encompass
an officer under such conditions.
Il think Dewey has summed up the mat
ter in clear and concise manner, and
believe his conclusions will be indorsed by
the patriotic people of the United States
] have no sympathy with the efforts which
have been made to destroy the honor of an
officer under such circumstances"
1t was generally supposed that the state.
ment had been ignored by the authorities
and the incident had well-nigh been forgot
ten, when it developed Saturday that 1t had
been made the subject of vigorous CORE
spondence between Secretary Root as the
representative Of President Roosevelt and
Gen. Niles. By direction Of the President
Secretary Root made the correspondence
public late Saturday afternoon. Gen. Miles
was then on his way to New York, and was
not aware that the letters had been given
out until he saw them in the newspapers

School picnic.

The spring term in District No 4,
Franklin township, known as Popcorn y
school district" closed last Friday with
a beautiful and we'll arranged picnic. At
noon the tables were loaded with the
SPLENDID viands which Popcorn ladies'
know how to prepare, to which about
seventy.five did ample justice. After
dinner at the sound Of the bell the COM
pany gathered in front of the little stage
where the little ones rendered the pro-
gram with ease and elegance of pro-
fessional elocutionists. The whole pro-
gram portrayed the success and udtir-
ing efforts Of the. teacher, Miss Edna
Moore. and pleased the audience. Miss
Moore is an accomplished young lady
and thoroughly competent in every way.
She has the distinction of having gwen
absolute satisfaction in every detail, not
even one dissenting voice making itself
manifest, which is certainty convincing
enough. After the program had been
carried out, ice cream was served to all
present, when the company departed to
their homes. The reluctant good byes''
of the little ones proved how their
teacher was loved, and how willingly
they submitted to her every wish.
