The change in the Spanish legation
here came as a distinct surprise to all

az the first Spanish minister after the
war, and naturally his position re-

avoid unpleasant incidents. He has
been very successful in his mission. 1t

Wood Had Extra Salary.

Washington. June 5.-The report of
the military committee a inst the reso-
luton calling for an :tnmiZed account
of the expenditures Of Cuba says that
previous reports to congress haveshown
that the secretary of war had made an
allowance of additional salary to the
governor general of Cuba of $4,000
per annum and that the salary was
continued until the close Of our occupa.
tion; that $4,000 has been spent in
getting up these itemizcd accounts to
April 30. 1900, and that a large force
is now engaged in bringing the report
down to the date Of our departure from
the island. Under these circumstances.
the report says, the proposed resolution

ment.

Washington. June 5.--An inveStiga-
partment to determine II possible who
was responsible for the publication
through Senator Culberson of the letter
Of Andrew X. Weir and the report Of
Captain Z. w. West. .............
In the debate Oh the Philippines on
Tuesday Mr. CulbersOn intimated that
the war department was endeayoring
to suppress information concerning mat
ters in the Philippines. lie then pre-
sented the charges of Private Wier
against Lieutenant +. =. Arnold, and
the report thereon by Captain West,
alleging cruelties against Filipinos.
Mr.. CulbersOn. when taxed by SEN
ator Beveridge with having received
the documents from General Miles,
declined to answer. A long time later
he made the voluntary statement. with
great care in the choice Of his phrases,
that the papers had not ..ome to him
directly and, as far as he knew, not in
directly, from General Miles. All this
may he true, and yet the opinion widely
entertained at the war department and
among army officers. that General
Miles was responsible for the papers
becoming public. is not refnted by it.
The facts. as nearly as they can be as
certained. are that the papers passed in
this country through only four sets Of
hands, those at army head,larQ lers. the
judge advocate generals. the adiutant
generals and the secretary of wars.
AS the judge advocate general would
naturally be the officer most concerned
there is no reason to suppose that he
would have let them out If they con-
tained anything which might be the
basis of Il court martial: the secre-
tary and the adjutant general are the
officers who would suffer all the blame
II the delay of the department in acting
had done any harm. so that they are
not suspected.
Taking Tuesdays disclosures as a
sequel to the premature publication of
the rejection of Miles proposal to go
to the Philippines and end the war.
there is a widespread disposition to hold
him accOuntab BILE. either directly or in
directly, for the leakage of copies Of the
papers while passing through his office.
1t Is understood that the originals
are now. and have been for some time
in the Philippines. where the charges
are under Investigation. Positive in
formation on this point is not pbtainable,
as Secretary. Root is absent in New
York. ea'. .".
The complaint Of the lrakn GO is not on
account of the contents of the papers,
for others equally damaging have been
sent voluntarily to the Philippines
committee of the senate. What Is
deemed so reprehensiblc is the manner
Of the disclosure. as such papers are
considered confidential until released
by the secretary.
II the report of the investigation at
the department cOnvicts General Miles
Of any responsibility in the premises
there Is no question that the president
will order Ills retirement instanter. and
the syndicate of senator's who stood
sponsor for him while back when his
place was in danger will be discharged
from further liability for their trust. d.
