 Washington. June 1s.-G. M Bailey. Washington correspondent of The Calves ton and Dallas News, said tonight with reference to Mir. Cleveland's statement that the former President must have overlooked the letter that he (Baaiey1 sent Mir. Cleveland and the reply of Cleveland. when the former President intfuaated that ho had not known Mir. Bailey was there with the purpose of obtaining his views for publication.

MOODY NOW SILENT.
Has Also Requested Admiral BOwles
 to Say Nothing.

Washington, June 1S.-Except to an! nounce that "The Galveston matter Is In the hands of the Attorney General and nothing on the subject will be said at this Department" Secretary Moody re- fused to discuss today's Cabinet meet ing or the probable action of the De- partment in view of the revised opinion of Attorney General Knox.
 He desired not to be placed fin the at- titude of saying anything on the subject and he requested Rear Admiral Bowles' who advanced the contention regarding the rights of the Government. to be equally mindful of the Presidents wishes as to silence on the subject.
 Modification of the Attorney General s opinion which in it's unrevised form al- ready had been communicated to Secre- tary Moody, somewhat disarranges for the moment the program Of the Depart ment as to a show of force. The Presi- dent thinks a show of force under the circumstances would be inexpedient, and the Navy Department therefore must con tent itself with awaiting the advice of the Department of Justice in the matter.
 Meanwhile 1t has instructed It's agents at Richmond not to interfere with the order of the court until specifically in- structed to by the Department.
 It was learned today that all the work ingmen employed by the Trigg Company leIL the ydrO when the company went into the hands of a receiver and the Gov ernment was experiencing some difficulty in securing laborers. This will prevent the vessels being ready for launching next Monday, and 1t is hoped the De- partment of Justice in the meantime will have prevailed on the local court officials at Richmond to withdraw from what 1t regards as their illegal position.
 Secretary Moody today requested the Attorney General to instruct the proper District Attorney to enter Into a stipula- tion regarding the cruiser Chattanooga, which has been attached by creditors of the New York Shipbuilding Company, that the Governments rights may be ade- quately protected
 As for the other twelve warships con- tracted for by the companies composing the United States Shipbuilding Company, the Navy Department, while apprehensive of the results of the financial embarrass- ment of the concern, has not been in- formed that work on any of the vessels has been interrupted as yet. and for the present Secretary Moody cannot take ac- ton.

It is not possible for a sensible and fair observer from a dis- tance to do otherwise than pay a debt of honor to the sympathetic widening and deepening of Southern sEntiment abouf the matter.

 Inaccurate. TELLS OF CIRCUMSTANCES

Bailey Says the Ex-President Wrote Him Letter Arranging for an
 Interview in Princeton.
 Question of Inaccuracies.

Princeton, N. J., June 1s.-Grover Cleve- land on being shown the alleged inter- view reported by Mir. Bailey of The Gal weston News made the following state- ment to the Associated Press correspon- dent today:
 I am very much astonished to see such an outcome from the visit made to me by one who only gained friendly access to me by reason of his being a represen- tative of a paper formerly conducted and owned by my deceased friend, Colonel Belo, and now conducted by his son.
 q do not know whether Bailey intended 1t or not, but he has given q very errone- GUS impression of what occurred between us.
 "If had dreamed that he would ate view. dealing with important subjects. out of what was said on the occasion of his visit I would certainly have insisted, ac- cording to my habit. upon Its being then and there reduced to writing and sub mitted to me. Instead of gaining the least intimation of such an intention on his part, his first words were that he knew an ex-President was not a person to be interviewed and he left me without the least hint that had been interviewed for publication.
 'All care to add is that the substance of the interview as published is in some respects grossly inaccurate. There are statements in 1t attributed to me that 1 certainly would not have made to a per son no nearer to me and no more in my confidence than Mir. Bailey"
