MILES STIRS
ARMY CIRCLES
Continued From First Page.

Of a prolonged hearing BY the commit
tee, which was conducted behind closed
door, and in which Gen. Miles touched
with the army. The portion of the bill
to which he directed his especial crtti-
cism is that contained in section Z, read
ing as follows:
That from and after the passage of
this act the senior general officer of the
army shall be assigned to command
such portion of the army as the presi-
dent may direct or be detailed to duty
in the, general staff corps. All duties
prescribed by law for the commanding
general of the army shall be performed
by the chief of general staff or other
general officer designated by the secre-
tary of war; provided, that so long as
the present lieutenant general Of the
army continues on the active list he shall
be the chief of the general staff, and
upon the separation from active service
Of the said lieutenant general OF the
army, said office, except as herein pro-
vided, shall cease and determine.
Gen. Miles said that If this proposition
should become a law it would have the
effect Of destroying the unity of the
army and he read numerous authorities,
including Napoleon, Wellington, Wash
ington, Cass and Grant to show the ne
cessity Of having one head to the army
and Of controlling authority. His own
experience and observations had, he said,
had the effect Of confirming these views
and he gave an illustration of its bene-
fetal effect in time Of emergency, In
stancing the beginning Of the war with
Spain.

the Spanish fleet had been located def

its presence was needed. Suppose" he

MYSTERY LIKELY TO BE SOLVED.
Lewis Du BOis Under Arrest for At
tempted Incendiarism.
SDeciaI TO The t1IObe.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D, March 2O.--The
authorities of GeddeS seem in a fair way
to solve the mystery surrounding the at
tempt to burn the new Methodist lIpis-
copal church at that place a short time
ago, while dedication services were be-
ing held and the building was crowded to
its utmost capacity.
Lewis Du Bots, a young man who was
arrested on suspicion of being concerned
in the attempt to burn the building, has
been held, as the result of his prelm-
mary examination, for appearance at the
June term of the state circuit court to
answer to the charge of incendiarism. His
bonds We're fixed at $500, in default Of
which he has been lodged in jail.
Two witnesses identified the bottle con-
tanning the kerosene, which was found
near the church on the morning after the
fire, and also swore that Du Bots pUr-
chased a similar bottle of oil at a local
store a few days previous to the time
the fire was set. Du Bots could give no
explanation except to fatty deny that he
purchased the kerosene. Four other boys
were seen in the vicinity Of the church
Immediately prior to the fire, but who
struck the match and applied it to the

How He Had a Hand in It.

Considerable scandal was caused at
Marietta college recently by a prank,
which resulted in the expulsion Of several
students One Of the professors, who
was very unpopular for undergraduate
slaughter for a long time because of his
object of the dislike, was near-sighted,
customed to creep down the long, dark
trade. 1t was decided that the best
and one night while the faculty were
meeting upstairs thick coat of molas-
ses was laid ever the rail. AS a result
the near-sighted professor met with an
unpleasant surprise when he tried to
feel his way downstairs in the dark.
The next day rigid investigation was
held The suspected students were as
sembled in q room and warned that
confession was the only escape from
expulsion. Thus admonished, an appeal
was made to any one who knew any
thing about the trick TO confesa
One of the culpritS rose and said, hes
itatingly:

thing about this, but l guess l had bet
ter make a clean breast of IT. do know
some one who had hand in It,"
He paused, as If afraid to continue,
while his companions in crime looked at
him with amaZement.

ROOT ARGUES FOR THE BILL.
Testimony of War Secretary Dis
tinctIy Differs With Miles.

WASHINGTON, March 2o.-The print
ed report of the testimony of Secretary
Root before the military committee on
the bill to which General Miles took such
exception today was made public today
In his statement the secretary said that
the general staff Of the army as it is
proposed to organize it under this bill
would be simply an advisory board, and
that its principal duty would be that Of
an advisory board.
1T proposes he said, ''to create by
detail from the officers of the army a
body of officers who shall be charged.
in the first place with the duty of doing
the military thinking, Of doing what the
navy has a board engaged in now, and
what we ought to have in the army and
have not today.
THE primary idea is not to give orders
It is to study and prepare plans for the
men who give the orders
Asked as to the place the commander
in-chief would occupy with reference
to this board the secretary replied that
he would accept plans made by the
board or not IS he might please. The
secretary continued as follows:
The plan of the bill is to have the
chief Of staff selected by the president
as ommander-in-c chief, and to have i
detail so that he viii come in with the
president and go out with the president. -
Senator Bate: DO I understand that
there is limit to their power so that
they will not interfere with the lieuten-
ant general?'
Secretary Root: "The proposition is to
have the lieutenant general decide"
AS to the work Of this character during
the war with Spain Secretary Root said:
That work was done during the Span
ish war practically by the gentlemen in
the lieutenant generals office.
But how did they have to do it?
Each man was at his desk having rou-
tine duties which We're pressing upon him
enough for two men to do, and it was
only by working day and night, with the
halls thronged and crowded with people
who were crowdirg in with ten thousand
things having nothing to do with the
really important duties that we were
performing they were able to do the
things that ought to have been put in
the hands of men who had nothing else
whatever to do. If we had not had an
adjutant general with the strength of ten
men, with a wonderful physique and ex-
raordinary executive capacity, the
whole system would have been broken
down absolutely. You cannot depend on
having such men"
He also said that the proposed board
would be of great assistance to the sec
rotary of war. r4
Il want to say" he went on, that I
believe that with the organization as it
was at the outbreak OF the war with
Spain and is now, the outbreak of any
war would irretrievably ruin any man
who was secretary of war. think the
organization is such that it is impossi-
Bile that successful results shall be pro-
duced until they have been worked out
by most painful and expensive expert
ence They will come in time because
the American people will get up a jury
rugged, extempore organization which
will be adapted to their circumstances n

WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacao,
March W.-The Venezuelan revolution
led by Gen. Matos seems to be growing.
Eight hundred revolutionists, under Gen.
Penalozo, are besieging Carupano, a sea-
port in Bermudez, and the revolution
lists under Gen. Monagas have sur
rounded Barcelona, capital of Bermudez.
Gen. Velutini, the Venezuelan minister
Of the interior, has been dispatched on
a special mission to Barcelona, but it is
said that he will arrive there too late.
Gen. Riera, who escaped the pursuit OF
the Venezuelan government troops near
Cumarebo, in the state OF Falcon, is
marching in the direction of Tucascas,
| a seaport town in the state of Lara,
which place IS to be attacked on land
by his troops, from the sea by the revo-
lutionary steamer Bolivar, also known
as the Liberador.
The Venezuelan government is send
ing troops to FL Haca, to intercept Gen.
Riera and prevent the junction of his
| troops with the revolutionists in Bar
quisimeto district
1t is reported that Gen. Rolando has
landed at Maturin, in Bermudez.
The revolutionists have cut the cable
to Barcelona, and consequently the Ven
| ezuelan government is without news
from Carupano.
The situation appears critical for Presi-
dent Castro.
The Venezuelan feet is not in condition
| to pursue the Bolivar, and the plans of
President Castro to capture her have
failed.
The Bolivar was at Piritu, Bermudez.

13 she was off this island, and March IA
she was off Coro, in Falcon. Gen. Sturbe,

Says He Knows Favorites.
Gen Miles was questioned as IA the
reasons for locating the American army
of occupation at Tampa and holding II
there so long with the resulting conres-
ton. Replying to the first question he
said it because Of the order to occunv
Havana. The delay was due. he said
to the fact that the American army was
supplied with only 81 rounds Of annuni.
ton, which would rot have been suff1-
cient for more than half an hour OF
fighting. Considering that Havana was
one of the best fortified, cities in the
world, he said, that to have attacked n
would have been foolhardy in the ex
IRENE.
He declined, however, to criticise the
then secretary of war, Gen. Alger. for
the condition of affairs, saying that
probably anyone else N the position
would have done about what he did. He
laid the general blame forsthfs condition
Of unpreparedness at the door of con-
gress.
In the course Of his remarks Gen. Miles
told the committee in confidence that
with the bill a law he could now name
the men who should hold the places Of
honor provided under it, but the commit
tee did not ask for the names.
