tons He Had for His Phil
ippine Trip.
MEDIEVAL METHODS UNNECESSARY
He Declares, and Asserts Officers
Guilty of Cruelty, Not the

New York, May 16.-The Army and
Navy Journal today prints n letter
from General Nelson A. Miles, in
which the writer says that he went to
the Philippine islands not as tour
list but in an official capacity, and that
the instructions addressed to him as
lieutenant general commanding the
army" came from the highest authori-
ty, viz: the president, in which he was
directed to give especial attention to
the obstruction, discipline and sup
plies of the army" In referring to
his official report on the Philippines,
General Miles says that mo one can
have more sacred regard for the
honor of the army than myself"
Officers were the Culprits.
Coming to the subject of cruelties
in the Philippines, General Miles let
ter reads us follows: at is idle to as
sumo that campaigning in the Philip
pines has conditions that warrant de-
sort to medieval cruelty and de-
parture from the honorable method of
conducting warfare, and that such de-
partures as have existed should be
overlooked and condoned. 1t is most
gratifying that the serious offenses
have not been committed by the sol
diers unless they We're under the di-
rect orders of certain officers who were

Soldiers Are Tender-Hoarted,

Soldiers have withheld fire when
ordered to shoot prisoners, protested
against acts of cruelty, and written
to relatives at home urging them to
take action to put Il stop to those
crimes. 1t will ever be one of the
glories of the army that such deeds,
committed by whatever authority, are
abhorrent to the American soldier.

"The officers who are responsible, u.s.
ing chiefly cruel MIaccababees, do not
by any means constitute the Ameri-
can army, and there must be very
