Interest Therein Reaches
From Kansas City
to Capital.
THAT LAST "ORDER"
Who Called Him to
Washington is Anoth-
er Question.

Washington. June The move
ments of General Miles have suddenly
become of vast interest to the inquisi-
tive reporters. \ few days ago in the
senate Culberson referred to an alleged
outrage OH FiIipinos by Il United States
officer and quoted papers that. it is
said. are. or were, war department
secrets. Beveridge questioned Culber-
son quite closely as to where the latter
got his information. and finally, as Il
home thrust" asked whether the
Texas senator got his news from Gen
eral Miles. CulberSOn did not reply
then. but later stated that to avoid
misinterpretation of his refusal to re-
ply he would say that he got his facts
neither directly nor ipdirectly from
General Miles.
Miles Goes West and East.
Later, General Miles started west
to Fort Riley to see test of Il field
gun. He had hardly reached Fort Ri
ley when he turned back and started
for Washington. The reporter was
right 'onto" him. and just before lie
reached Kansas City Il special was
received there stating that he had been
ordered back To Washington to be
court martialcd for giving CulberSon
those papers. He was questioned at
Kansas City. but refused to say any
thing other than that CulherSon'S de-
NAL that lie NIilesl had supplied him
with Filipino information was COM
plcte and covered the whole case.
Hit by the Chicago Reporter.
Coming east. he stopped Il short time
at Chicago. and an evening paper there
stated that lse had declared that lie
had been ordered to Washington.
Meantime Secretary Root had emphit-
ically denied sending Miles any orders
at all since his departure for the west.
\ dispatch from Chicago last night
raised an issue of veracity between
Miles and the Chicago paper. Ii says:
General Miles left for Washington
at $50 p. III. He was seen
at the Auditorium by the Associated
Press just before he left, and said: i
have been miSquoted. | did not say
that l had been ordered to Washing
ton. :" The statement nttrib-
uted To the general ut Chicago to the
effect that he was called to Washing
ton was exhibited to every officer of
the war department who could he any
possibility have handled any order to
General Miles, and by each and all of
them was positively denied.
Very Latest of the Matter at Date.
1T is stated that no person connected
with the administration has sent any
or der to General Miles from Wash
ingtou since his departure on his pres
ent trip. nor has the war department
communicated with him. The intima-
tiOn is that any recall, such as is wor-
rying the press just now. must have
come from some OF his personal friends
or family. 1t is explained in another
quarter that LieutenaDe General Miles

Il have concluded my statements
before the committee on insular affairs

have attempted TO show to the honor
able members thereof that the follow
ing are the most urgent requirements
of the Philippines:
Civil Government and a Legislature.

governmental organisms of the Philip
pine people. \ Legislature composed
Of high and low chamber, in accord
ance with the provisions embodied in
the bill reported by the committee to

WhaIeback Thomas Wilson and GEORGE E.
HadIey Come Together at
Duluth
FORMER SINKS IN LESS THAN A MINUTE
Many Saved BY Having PreserVers Thrown
to Them--- Names of
the Lost

Duluth. June THE whaleback
steamer Thomas Wilson, Capt. Cam
erOn, and the steamer George c. Had
ley, Capt. Fitzgerald, collided just
outside Duluth canal today.
The Wilson sank within less than
a minutes time. The life saving crew
picked up several members of the
crew of the Wilson, but several are
known To have been drowned.
Those who Perished.
Nine men were drowned. They
were mostly of the night crew of the
Wilson, who had not time to get out
of their hunks before the vessel went
to the bottom.
The names 81 the lost are:
Aaron Trips. cook.
Frank, second cook, Superior.
James McDouaII. oiIer, West Su-
pcrior.
James NJ. Frazer, wheelsman. Sauit
Ste Marie.
John Campbell. Greenleaf. Mich.
John Carry. St. GATHERINGS, Ont.
Thomas Jones.
William Rocbuck, of the port of
Hampton.
The Wilson was coming toward the
canal. The Hadley was going out.
Both were loaded. just before reach
ing the canal. when about opposite
the Wilson. the Hadley was given an
order by a tug to go to Superior.
Immediately she sheered off for Su-
perior and crashed directly into the
Wilson. The Hadley barely reached
shore before she sank. Many lives
were saved through having life pre-
servers thrown them from the Had
ley and the life saving crew.
Fatality at st. Louis
st. Louis. June 7.-Twenty-five per-
sons were today injured, two fatally,
in collision between car on the
Clayton suburban electric line and
a Missouri Pacific engine at the
crossing at Brentwood. The two
men fatally injured are William Lay
zon. motorman, and George Gibbons,
a negro laborcr.
The fireman and engineer of the
railroad train were both injured.
The injuries of the majority of
passengers are slight. Inability to
control the electric car which ran
into and derailed the engine seems
TO have been the cause of the acci-
dent.
