ANNOUNCEMENT OF BURTON
WILL INFLUENCE POLITICS

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 14.-Ac-
cording to Ohio men in Washington,
the announcement made by Representative
Burton of Cleveland that he will not be
candidate this year may have considerable
influence upon state and national politics.
Mr.. Burton has represented his district since
the fifty-first congress with the exception
of a single term and he is Foraker adher-
ent. He is regarded as one of the ablest
men in the House and is Chairman of the
River and Harbor Committee. Sometime
ago he asked that certain local politician
should manage his campaign as chairman OF
the county executive committee. Requests
Of this character by candidates for MEM
bers Of Congress in Ohio are usually grant
ed, but the committee on this occasion did
not grant the request This committee is
composed largely of federal Office holders,
appointed by Senator Hanna and they APP
pointed a man named Abel. close friend
OF Senator Hanna and not on good terms
personally with --urton.
1t Is said that Senator Hanna telegraph
ed asking that Burton's request be acceded
to. If this be so, no attention was paid
to the request from Senator Hanna.
Representative Burton, after announcing
that he would withdraw from Congress,
took a trip to Virginia Hot Springs to
consult with his friends 1t is said that
Senator Foraker advised him to take this
STEP
1t is further asserted that Burton will be
a candidate for the Senate this fall against
Hanna, If Hanna and his friends persist in
their determination to control the Ohio
delegation to the next republican national
convention. 1t is said that this is a plan
of Senator Foraker and, with him is the
entire Ohio congressional members with the
exception Of Dick and GrOsvernor. They
were all loyal supporters of Mckinley, but
between Hanna and Foraker, they are with
the latter.
Foraker men claim that Hanna desires
to be named in the national convention as
Ohios candidate for the presidency. At
least If Hanna is not in this plan his
friends are. This is the reason why Hanna
and his friends wish to control the dele

that he is for Mr.. Roosevelt in 1904.

MRS. JEFFERSON DAVIS SAYS
THAT SHE WAS MISQU0TED.

Mrs. Jefferson Davis has corrected the
interview which recently appeared in the
New York Press and which was telegraph
ed over the country. For the beneht OF
those who did not understand the words
of Mrs Davis as they appeared In tbs
newspapers she has issued the correction
which viii doubtless be read with interest
as many disagreed with some OF the utter
ances which were attributed to the widow
of the Confederacy's president.
In a letter of recent date to Mayor Minis
Of Atlanta, Mrs. Davis enclosed the state
ment which corrects the Interview attrib-
uted to her, but which she describes az
the Billingsgate OF a reporter.
The card which Mrs. Davis has furnish
ed the newspapers for publication Is a.
follows:
"An interview has been published in The
Press newspaper of violently abusive
character in which am represented as
saying things of General Nelson A Miles,
which could not have uttered, because
tbev we're not true. and which no one
familiar with the circumstances could
have attributed to me. For instance, Cen
eral Miles is accused of having insulted
INV daughters, when one OF the only Two
7 had was an infant at that time, whom
he certainly could not have insulted; the
other daughter was never at rortLess
Monroe then. or, I believe, at any other
Enough the hideous memories OF that
day will not down. and whatever IRE
concilable enmity 1 may and 90 Ieei
against General Miles for his carefully oe-
vised insults ana cruelties inflicted upon
nv dead, I do not wish to accuse MIN OF
ANYTHING which he did not do or which mas
not been substantiated by the testimony OF
his subordinate officer, and as little 90 1
desire to idly rail at him.
1.-The reference to President Johnson a.
a tailor etc. is also untrue
The sneers am reputed to have cast
upon school teachers have panied me
greatly, as they constitute an at
tack upon class to which
am bound by many ties OF
friendship, respect and blood These two
occupations have been sought and honor
ably pursued by members Of the Oldest
and most dignified families throughout the
south. and 1 have no doubt Of all parts
Of this country. and the obligations the
country owes to the latter cannot be es-
timated or diminished by the assumption
of a fancied superiority by any person
or class.
This correction is due to myself. and
ask a place In your columns for it.

BY BARTLETT SHOTS
FIRED AT GENERAL WOOD

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Demo-
Gratis refuse to be put aside in their efforts
to look into the administration Of Leonard
Wood, as military governor Of Cuba.
Resolutions calling on the secretary Of
war to furnish congress with a complete
statement of the Cuban revenues and the
expenditures authorized by Wood have
been practically shelved by the secretary's
declaration that 1t will take % weeks to
get the desired information in shape. thus
keeping it secret until after the fall cleo
tions.
Today, however, Bartlett, Of Georgia,
introduced a resolution calling on the sec
rotary to furnish a statement of all
money paid by Wood to F. K. Thurber,
the sugar trust lobbyist.
This is the particular information the
Democrats want just now, and 1t cannot
be claimed that weeks are required to get
1t out.
Democrats believe they will get some
thing interesting If the resolution passes.

ROOSEVELT NEVER HEARD
OF WOODS BRI1E STORY

WASHINGTON, June 14-Regarding a
New Dreams story that General Gomez
received $500 bride from the administra-
ton to withdraw from the Cuban cam
paign, thereby permitting the election OF
Estrada Palma Il was stated tonight by
dn Official close 70 President Roosevelt
that he had never before heard OF it.
Secretary Hay said that not until his
attention was called to the story tonight
had he received the slightest intimation
of II from any source.
Secretary Root. thought the story was
undoubtedly an exaggeration of General
Woods action in granting a pension to
General Gomez.
The statement that General Wood had
paid General Gomez money to withdraw
from the Cuban campaign, Secretary Root
said, was absurd on its face. as Gomez
was one of President Estrada Palma's
warmest friends.

SENSATIONAL DISCLOSURES,

ED BOTH GEN. WOOD AND SU-
GAR TRUST.

WASHINGTON, June 12.--Advocates Of
Cuban reciprocity, led by Senator's Aid
rich and Plat, of Connecticut, are to-
day denying that yesterday's sensational
disclosures will kill the CubanSrelief bill,
but on the other hand the beet sugar
men are more confident than ever today
that the scandal has driven away from
the bill the support q many Of its form
er sponsors.
Thurber's admission that he was a paid
agent of the sugar crust when General
Wood paid him thousands of dollars out
of the Cuban funds Tor the same cause
as that to which The trust contributed,
startled even the stau#chest of reciprocity
advocates, and more developments are
expected to follow thA statement.
It is limited that Big scandal Is pend
ing which will disclose purchase of lands,
appointments of relatives, and unwar-
ranted extravaganza On the part Of high
American officials in Cuba, state Of af-
fairs which the secretary of war has
winked at.
How Senator Teller secured the docu-
ments he pulled on Thurber in the COM
mittee Is another mystery which is ex-
asperating the ADMINISTRATION. This new
leak in the war department following the
leak of scandalous Philippine secrets, has
started a new investigation. The admin
