General Miles Writes of the Cru

SOLDIERS OBEYED ORDERS
OFFICERS RESPONSIBLE FOR

NJ EW YORK, May 15.-The Army
~ and Navy Journal win print to-
morrow a 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 Of
fetal capacity, and that the instrUC-
tons addressed To MIN as lieutenant
general commanding the army came
from the highest authority, viz, the
president, in which he was directed to
give especial attention to "the instruc-
ton. discipline and supplies OF the
army"
In referring to his official report on
the Philippines, General Miles says
that mo one can have a more sacred
regard for the honor Of the army than
myself
Coming to the subject Of cruelties in
the Philippines, General Niles letter
reads as follows. 1T is idle to assume
that campaigning in the Philippines
has conditions that warrant resort to
medieval cruelty, and that such de
partureS as have existed should not be
overlooked and condoned.
1t is gratifying that the serious Of
lenses have not been committed by the
soldiers unless they were under the di-
rect orders Of certain officers who were
responsible. Soldiers have withheld
fire when ordered to shoot prisoners.

them to take action to put q stop to
those crimes. 1t viii 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, using
chiefly cruel Macabebes, do not by any
means constitute the American army,
and there must be a very unmistal1abla
line drawn between the. great body Of

How the Oakland Police Saved Roose-

Oakland, Cal, May 15.-The extreme
diligence which was exercised by the
local police department in guarding
President Roosevelt during his journey
through and brief visit in Oakland was
the subject Of much comment yester-
day, and this extraordinary precautiOu
IS now explained by the fact, not here
tofOre known to the public, of infOrma-
ton received by the authorities of a
plot which, carried out, would have
meant the assassination of President
Roosevelt i'm this city Late Wednes-
day night Mayor Olney received q com

who tried to kill the emperor of Aus

meet at GirardO's house to discuss the
killing of the president. The writer
