WASHINGTON, March -. - The
Statement of General Miles before the
senate committee on military affairs as
it VIII appear in the official records
has been made public. The features
which caused something of Il sensation
when published The day the statement
was made do not appear, and the fol-
lowing colloquy at the close of the
hearing explains it:
Mr.. Pettus-Alr. Chairman, | 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-
ceedings should he submitted to Gen
eral Miles, with permission to strike
out such portions us ought not to be
published.
Mr.. PrOctor-That is it,
General Miles, do not know that
there is anything to be stricken
The Chairman-We have been in the
habit of submitting to the witness be
fore the committee, whoever he was,
the stenographcr's report of his re
marks for correction. of course.
Mr.. pcttus-i wanted to 20 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 de-
sire to strike out. and think he should
be allowed that privilege.
4 H.,
of that
Mr.. Pcttus-IIC should he allowed
the liberty of striking out anything
which ought not 10 be published. even
If it is stated correctly in the report.
The stcnographer's report was sub
mittcd to General Miles. and the off
cial report indicates that he followed
closely the written statement he had
prepared and read to the committee.
The main facts of the generals opposi-
ton to the war department staff bill
were given at the time. Some of the
features of the statement. however. not
reported at the tim" are of interest.
In addition to that part of the state
ment heretofore published showing
how the president could by promotions
make Il captain chief of staff with the
grade of lieutenant general, General
Miles said:
1T seems to me you are throwing the
door wide open for Il future autocrat
or Il military dcspot. 1t is not. in my
| judgment, in accordance with the prin-
ciple and theory of democratic gov
eminent and for the best interests of
the army which has existed more than
IL hundred years and fulfilled all your
requirements. to adopt such Il scheme. "
Further along General Miles said OF
the bill:
1T is Capitalization of the most pro
nounced type, au|ments the power OF
the staff and in effect removes it fur
Their from touch with the fighting force
of the army. The scheme is rcvolu
tionary. casts to the winds the lessons
Of experience and abandons method,
which successfully carried us through
the most memorable war epochs of oul
history. The proposed plan is but al
effort to adopt and foster in rcpub

WASHINGTON. March 21.-Gencral
Nelson A. Miles told the senate com
mittce on military affairs that if the
bill introduced by Senator Hawlcy at
the instance of the war department for
the organization of general staff for
the army should become Il law he
would decline to longer hold his com

The reason he gave for the statement
is that She bill is utterly subverSive of

Thousands of people have catarrh who
would be surprised to know it, because
it has been called some other name than
catarrh. The fact is, catarrh is catarrh
wherever located; and another fact
which is of equally great Importance, is
that Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located.
Catarrh is an American disease. Fully
one-half of the people are afflicted more
or less with it in some form. Previous
to the discovery OF Peruna, catarrh was
considered well nigh incurable. Since

cumcari, says the Las Vegas Optic.
The date is put at November IS, two
weeks ago today; and the story is that
five Mexicans from Old Mexico, work
ing on the Tucumcari railway, got full
early that morning and undertook to
shoot up the town. 1ney went to a
dance hall, fell out with an American,
cut him nearly to death, and took their
departure. Five Americans got their
Winchesters and pursued the Mexi-
cans, killing them all. 1t is claimed
that a sealed mouth was required of
everyone knowing the facts, and so 1t
was that the newspapers of the land
never knew of the affair. How much
of truth there is in the story, the Optic
cannot say.

ACCIDENT AT SANTA RITA.
Amado Roblero Falls to Death In the
Shaft in Chino Mine.

Sftdth w w w
Amado Roblero, a Mexican miner,
employed by the leasers of the Chino
mine, in the Santa Rita camp, was &C
cidentally killed last Sunday morning,
says the Silver City Independent.
A few minutes prior a bucket of ore
had been hoisted to the surface and
the contents emptied into a car, and
thence taken to the dump. A com
panion in charge of the work at the
mouth of the shaft, fingered to look at
some of the mineral, and while he was
so doing the car automatically went
back to the t~rapdoor covering the
shaft which should ave been closed.
While the companion was so occupied,
however, the deceased had opened the
door and started to descend the ladder,
leaving the trapdoor open and failing
to notify his fellow workman. The re-
suit was that the car dropped into the
shaft. striking Roblero and carrying
him to the bottom of he shaft, a dis
lance of eighty-five feet, killing him in
stantly.
No blame can be attached for the &C
cident. as it a due solely To the care
l~essness of the deceased. Roblero was
a mar of family and a good workman
