The remarks against kissing attrib.

his wife in many years. maintaining
that it is unmanly. The pledge ons
has to take to join the league is that
he will kiss no woman. no matter il
she is his wife. kissing is for women
only-the weaker sex Wilson says
kissing is weak manner of show

than those men who are all the time
kissing them every time they leave
the house. Some wives may object, but
that will not induce us to desert the
cause. My wife is in favor of the plan

SCHLEY DETAINED BY HISTORY
USED IN THE NAVAL ACADEMY

The secretary says it would be mani
festly improper TO have history con-
raining such Incorporate language as
a text book for the cadets.
He will inform both Commander
Wainwright. who is in command of the
naval academy. and Mr.. Maclay, the
author. of his decision. In this con-
nection ahe secretary says that TIE
proofs of the entire volume We're not
submitted TO him by tho historian He
received only the proofs of the third
chapter. that relating TO the mobiliza-
ton of the fleets. which contained
summary of the orders which he as
secretary of the navy had issued in
making the naval preparations for the
war. The chapter was satisfactory
and he returned ii 10 Mr.. Maclay with
an Indication of his approval. He says
he never saw the account of the battle
of Santiago and the criticisms of Rear
Admiral Schley until after the book
was published. Mr.. Maclay was ap-
pointed to his present position ill the

having been transferred from the light
house service.
New York. July 20.-Edgar s. Mac
Law to-day replied to the criticism
which has been made upon his histor-
ical works dealing with Admiral
Schley and the navy during the Span
ish War. He said in part:
4 did not appreciate at the time
wrote the book that the terms Were
immoderate and Incorporate. 1t is on
ly recently that it las met with ad-
verse criticism. 1t is now my inten-
ton tc revise that port IN of the work
that deals with the battle of Santiago.
4 But l shall not alter the facts, for they
are correct. and I must first be assured
that they are in error. The proofs
were submitted TO the officers who took
part in the battle of Santiago, as well
as to Secretary Long. and received
their approval. l should explain that
only those portions of the book were
submitted TO each officer that related
| to him personally, or TO the part he
took in the battle. The proofs submit
