LOUISVILLE, KY, March 23-In dis
cussing the RooseVelt-Miles controversy
Henry Watterson has the following to
say in a Washington interview:
Little need be added to what has hean
said already as to the case of Gen Miles
From the day when lie refused to become
an orderly for the administration he was
marked for punishment. While Mr. Nc
K'nley lived this was limited to con-
demnaton chiefly. But with the advent
Of Mr.. Roosevelt a more drastic course
CT proceeding was adopted.
1.-THE president fairly leaped at the first
chance to aSsail and humiliate Gen Miles
that offered itself, or, rather, that seemed
to offer itself, fer he had, as a matter OIL
fact, no authority either under the con-
stitutiOn of the United States or the ar
ticles of war to reprimand the general ex-
cept for a single Offense Of which Gen.
Miles has not as yet been accused
ITO forge pretext for the president,
the law ruling in such cases was shame
fully garbled. The head and front of
Miles offending was that he agreed with
Dewey. Yet Funston is permitted ana
even encouraged to roam at large, abus-
ing his betters without stint of limit
Retirement is the club which is helu
by a chance occupant Of the White house
over the head of the lieutenant general OIL
the army, who was tighting the battles Oh
his country when our puissant presiden-
t1aI broncho-buster was fighting the bat
ties of the nursery. Just now this club is
particularly in evidence. the occasion be-
ing Gen. Miles opposition to the admins
tratiOn's new army bill
This bill ought to be entitled An acl
to make the president of the. Uniteu
States military dictator, because IN eff
feet that is precisely what it proposes.
THE president has so long and so sue
cessfully played the part of the cowboy
in politics that he really aspires to be-
come the man on differences
of opinion are not to be endured.
1.-THE intolerance which marked the
Dreyfus epoch in France is to be the rule
or measure of the American war depart
ment and an astute and very able New
York attorney and politician is to finu
the law for it. Because he answered the
call of a committee of congress, Miles is
to be retired
Moral; Let the officers of the army
beware
Result: Arbitrary power eliminating
in absClutism.
Thus, slowly but surely, is the admin
istration Mexicanizing' the government
of the United States.''

lieves that Mr.. Schalkburger move is in
response to fresh British Overtures for

these overtures will lead to no result un-

FIRM IN TARIFF FIGHT
OPPONENTS OF CUBAN RECIPROC-

Indications at Present Are That
Despite All the Opposition the
Payne Resolution Will
BE Carried.

WASHINGTON, March 23-There is a
bare possibility that the fight over the
question of Cuban reciprocity Will be
transferred to the floor of the house dur
ing the coming week The probabilities
however, are that the reciprocity resolu-
tion introduced by Mr. Payne the floor
leader of the majority. after the action OF
the Republican caucus last week, will not
be called up until the following week,
though upon this point no definite de-
cision has been reached as yet by the
leaders.
The present programme is to
take up the army bill, after
the disposal ef the Moos-Rhea
contested election case, on Tues
day. Several days will be consumed III
general debate on this bill, as the Demo-
Gratis are inclined to use it as a text for
speeches i'll opposition to the policy of the
administration in the Philippines.
1t is foregone conclusion that Mr.. .Rhea
will be unseated when the vote on his
contested election case IS taken Tuesday

incorporated in the report are a num-
ber of resolutions adopted during the
week in addition to those made public by
President Mitchell. All of these resolu-
tions, it is stated, contain a strike de-
claration effective April l, but they were
made subject to the resolution of the
special committee report which so far
as could be learned, does not declare for
a strike All of the demands made in

In the event of the operators refusing
to recognize the committee, it is within
the province of the district presidents to
declare a strike after receiving the sane

When asked tonight If the above state
ments were correct, President Mitchell
did not deny them, but declined to dis
cuss the subject. The entire matter now
rests with the delegates, and it is pos

NEW YORK, March 23.-Capt. w.
Garry, of the Spanish steamship Ea, and
his crew Of twenty-seven men, were
brought to this port today by the Old
Dominion liner Princess Anne. His ship,
with a broken back, lies on a sand spit
nine miles south-by-east from Cape
Lookout light on the North Carolina
coast.
The Ea left Fernandina March 13 for
Bilboa, Spain, with a cargo of phosphate

with two lOokOuts forward and the cap
tain and both his officers on the bridge
the ship brought up standing on the sand
bank Capt. Garry gave the signal for
full speed astern as soon as the snip
grounded, but could not start her. No
sea was running at the time and the
wind was light. At 10 o'clock that night,
when it was full tide, the captain tried
again to back her off, but failed. Sunday
q south southwest gale came up and
drove the vessel farther on the bar.
1t kicked up a heavy sea, which broke
over the ship with terrific force and she
began breaking up. BY daylight her back
bone was broken and she parted in the
middle, the forward and after ends set

Shortly after the revenue cutter AlgOn-
Quin appeared on the scene but she had

which was running. Sunday night the ting
and cutter both ran out to sea, but re-
turned again Monday noon.
By this time the Ea's crew was in a
bad plight. The water tanks were
broken, and either flooded with salt wa%er
or else run dry. The stores were all
water soaked, and the crew had nothing
TO eat. When the cutter and tug reap
peared Capt. Garry signaled for aeIp,
asking them to send a boat if they could
not run alongside, or at least try to 6e-
wise some means to get something to
eat on board the wreck. Neither vessel
was able to do anything for their relief,
as the sea was still breaking heavily over
the sand spit. The tug stood by the Ea
all night, while the cutter again put cut
to sea.
tuesday morning the Algonquin came
pack, but neither she nor the tug could
reach the wreck. The Ea's Iifeboats had
all been carried away, but they had one
small boat left. Capt Garry ordered this
launched and it finally put off with four
teen men, who were taken aboaTl the
Algonquin.
The cutter then sent a lifeboat off to
the stranded ship and took off the can
tain and the rest of the crew. They were
taken to Wilmington, N. c., by the
Algonquin and from there came to this
city on the Old Dominion ship. All on
