THE SOLDIERS NOT BLAMED.
Officers Responsible For Philippine
Cruelties, Miles Says.

New York, May Is The Army and
Navy Journal will print to morrow
II letter from General Nelson A. Miles
in which the writer says that he went
to the Philippine islands not as a
tourist, but in an official capacity
and that the instructions addressed
to him as lieutenant general "com-
manding the army" came from the
highest authority, viz: The Presi-
dent, in which he was directed to
give especial attention to the in
struction, discipline and supplies 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"
Coming to the subject of cruelties
in the Philippines General Miles's let
ter reads as follows:
cit is idle to assume that cam
paigning in the Philippines has con-
ditions that warrant resort to medic
val cruelty and departure from the
honorable method Of conducting
warfare and that such departures as
have existed should be- overlooked
and condoned.
1T is most gratifying that the
serious offonses have not been COM
mitted by the soldiers unless they
-wera under thu direct orders at GER
ruin offi"nra who were responsible.
Soldiers have withheld fire hen Or
dered to shoot prisoners, protested
against acts OF cruelty and written
to relatives at home urging them to
take action to put stop to these
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 respon.
sible, using chiefly cruel Maccaba-
bees, do not bv ony means constitute
the American army, and there must
be a very unmistakable line drawn
between the great body OF honorable
and faithful officers and brave SOL
diers whose records have been com.
mendshle and those, OF whatever
station. whose acts have received
and should receive the earnest con-
demnation Of all honorable men,"

HOLD SUSPECT
IN BLACK HOLE
Mysterious Prisoner Linked With
Mondays Crime.
HAS WITHHELD INFORMATION
POLICE STEADFASTLY REFUSE
TO DIvUIaE HIS IDENTITY.

The black hole at police headquarters
conceals a man who is held as 3 sus-
pect in connection with the desperate
crimes of Monday night. His identity
and his information are carefully with
held from the public.
Secreted in dungeon under the city
hall is the man who purchased drinks
for the bandits at the Italian saloon
on South Temple street on the night OF
the tragedy. He was arrested the DAY
following the crimes and disappeared as
mysteriOusly as if he were spirited
away by an unknown power. de ad-
United that he read the story. OF the
crime in the newspapers Tuesday
morning and went at once to see the
mayor of the city. There in the may
ors office he told his story and was re-
ferred to the chief of police. He told
the same story to the chief and was
promptly locked up.
Disappeared From View.
Since his Incarceration be has disap-
peared from public view. Officers as
sert they do not know he is under ar
rest, but it was quietly admitted that
he is confined in a dungeon of the city
Jail He declared to the mayor ana
to the chief that he was in the Italian
saloon about 10 o'clock, when MS
friends. whom he knew previously IN
Chicago, entered the place. He pur-
chased drinks for the crowd. One OF
the men was wounded in the hand ana
he gave his handkerchief to the wound
ed man TO stop the flow of blood when
dropped slowly to the floor.
One of the men removed the hat OF
the entertainer and substituted his
own. The man under arrest offered no
objections to the loss of his hat and
from that point his story is said 10
offer many discrepancies. He refuses
to tell what he did after the men LETT
the saloon, but officers assert ne was
one of the party that fought the battle
with Patrolman Heath at First South
and First West streets. That he knows
considerably more of the truth than
he has divUlged is believed by the po-
lice.

The opening of this new surgical
ward is the result Of the overcrowded
condition of the hospital. The surgical
ward as it now stands can accommO-

some time past it has been taxed to
its utmost capacity; in fact, 1t has been
too crowded for comfort to the pa

this will be in service by July or Au-
