of Democratic Government, and for the
best interests of the army, which has

fulfilled all your requirements, to adopt
such a scheme"

MILES OPINION OF THE BILL.
1t Would Throw the Road Open for Military
Despotism
(By the Associated Press


Washington, March 24.-The statement
of Gen. Miles before the Senate Com
mittee on Military Affairs as it will APP
pear in the official records, was made
public tonight. The features which caus-
ed something of a sensation when pub
lished the day the statement was made
do not appear and the following COLO
guy at the close of the hearing explains
It:
Mr.. Pettus: Mr.. Chairman: l think
there ought to be some mode of having
these notes revised
THE Chairman: That will be done.
Mr.. Pettus: The report of the pro-
ceedin2s ought to be submitted to Gen.
Miles with permission to strike out such
portions as ought not to be published.
Gen. Miles: l do not know that there
is anything to be stricken out.
'"The chairman: We have been in the
habit of submitting to the witness before
the committee, whoever he was, the ste
nosfapher's report of his remarks. for
correction of course.
''Mr. Pettus-I wanted to go further
than that. The stenographer has no
doubt taken down correctly what the
General has said. but there are some
things that he said which he may desire
to strike out, and ! think he should be
allowed that privilege.
The Chairman-He must be the Judge
of that"
Mr.. Pettus-He should be allowed the
liberty of striking out anything which
ought not to be published. even if it is
stated correctly in the report"
The stenographers report was submit
ted to General Miles and the official re-
port indicates that he followed closely
the written statement he had prepared
and read to the committee. The main
facts of the Generals opposition to the
, War Department staff bill were given at
/ the time. Some features of the state
ment, however. not reported at the time

ROOSEVELT TALKS WITH THEM.
Members Who Oppose His Plan of Reciprocity
at the White House.
Oy the Associated Press.)


Washington, March 24.-A conference
was held at the White House this at
ternoon between the President and seven
of the Republican members of the House
of Representative who have been fore
most in opposing the plan of Cuban re-
cprocity urged by the Ways and Means
Committee and understood to have the
support of the administration. The
members who called were Representa-
tives Tawney and Morris, of Minnesota;
Dick. of Ohio: William A. Smith. OF
Michigan; Minor, of Wisconsin; Metcalf,
of California. and Dayton, of West Vir-
ginia. The call was at the request of
tho President.
The callers were frank to concede that
they found the President DESTROYS of ex-
tending effective relief to Cuba by the
reciprocity plan He drew attention to
the fact that the Sibley amendment, linn
iting the reciprocity period to December
1, 1903, gave the Payne bill a rather one
sided aspect, as it asked Cuba to adopt
our naturalization and immigration laws
and give his tariff concessions without
limit of time, and in return gave to Gu
ba tariff concessions limited to about a
year and a half. Some of the congress
mer present were inclined to admit that
we were asking good deal from Cuba
in return for what little we could grant
her.
1t is understood that the President will
see some of the members of the Ways
and Means Committee tomorrow, thus
familiarizing hiself with both sides OF
the issue which has recently arisen in
the House. He hopes that this general
interchange with the leaders from both
sides may bring about unaniniity OF &C
