LIEUTENANT GENERAL A. R. CHAFFEE.
his record shows steady progress
that has finally brought him to the top.
He fought with distinction during
the civil war, being several times
wounded, reaching the rank of lieuten-
ant in 1868 He was several times
brevetted for gallantry and in 1867 be-
came captain. Promotions were
slow after the close of the civil war,
and when the Spanish American war
began Chaffee was lieutenant colonel.
Before the close of the year, however.
he was major general of volunteers.
At Ell Caney, where he earned his
picturesque sobriquet of 1.-The man In
shirt sleeves" General Chaffee recon
noitered for himself instead of leaving
this work to his scouts and made him
self 30 well acquainted with the dis
position Of the enemy that his attack
carried all before 1t.
A member of the staff Of the Spanish
General Vara del Rey said of the
charge, Il have never seen anything to
equal the courage of those Americans,
who. stripped to the waist and led by
the man in shirt sleeves, offered their
naked breasts to our murderous fire."
Although General Chaffee had attain
ed fame chiefly as hard fighter, his
abilities as an executive officer led to
his selection to command the American
forces in China. For his services in
China he was made a major general in
the regular service and placed in COM
mand Of the army in the Philippines
He was subsequently ordered home and
made commander of the department of
the east, with headquarters at Govern
ors island. New York. A few months
ago he went to Washington as assist
ant to Lieutenant General Young. whom
he has now succeeded as chief of staff
Of the army. General Chaffee will re-

DETAILS OF RUSS|A'S PLANS
IN LETTER FROM vLADIvOSTOCK
Written Before the War Opened But Showing
What Russia Hopes to
Accomplish

PARIS, Feb. 10.-A correspondent in
on the far eastern situation, which
gives more precise information than
any hitherto received from that quar-
ter.
"Vladivostock, Jan. 8.--War is con-
sidered absolutely inevitable. although
the actual situation of our troops and
our fleet is far from satisfactory.
Admiral Alexieff has the intention
to spin the negotiations out at least to
March because of it's being wholly i'm
possible to keep up sufficient commu-
nication with Russia across the frozen
Baikal up to April.
Our troops here are $4,000 men, be-
sides those on the way. They are all
suffering from want of supplies and
consequently from typhus, and the mil
itary staff Is afraid the railway will
prove wholly unable to carry on from
Russia the quantities of food, ammuni-
ton, etc, that will be wanted during
the war.
Our new torpedoes are constructed
on the plan of the curious little boat
exhibited last year in Berlin, which
could be steered in any way by an
electric apparatus outside the basin
where Is was running. If they prove
as effective as naval officers told me
they would, naval war will be posi-
bic in the future and the Japanese fleet
will be destroyed In spite of its SUI
periority in the first battle or even from
the shore when besleging Port Arthur.
'If the torpedoes. however. prove in
effective, Admiral Alexieffs plan is the
following:
THE Korean frontier on the Yalu
will be strongly occupied, but Korea
will not be invaded. The Japanese may
hold the whole country If they want to
do so. and paralyze one-half of their
forces in doing so. 1t is only possible

The Holloway Case.

1 The hopes that were entertained that Mr..
Holloway would come manfully into the open
and demand an investigation, before a court, of
/ charges against him, appear 10 have been mis-
] placed Tampa Tribune.
The nature of the Offense charged
against Mr.. Holloway is such that a
judicial investigation will not amount
TO anything for the reason that there
is no statute law to fit the case. The
charge against him is the interpola-
ton of words in a copy of a letter
that were not in the original letter
This is not a forgery under the law for
the reason that the Interpolation car
ried with it nothing of value. For
instance, to affix persons name to a
piece of blank paper is not forgery
nor to any writing which has no
value.
Nor is the offense charged.against
Mr.. Holloway a libel because the
words said to have been interpolated
by him in the copy of the letter sent
out to the voters of the state were
not in themselves ibelous. If Booker
Washington had in fact been invited
to address the people of Gainesville
Gin the white auditorium" the pro-
ceedings under our statute laws would
not have been Hbelous, hence the in
terpolation of these words do not con-
stitute a libel.
In other words, if the offense as
charged is fully established in a judi
cial investigation, Mr.. Holloway is
guilty of no crime under our laws.
The offense charged against Mr..
Holloway under its legal definition
is neither forgery nor a libel; the
only question with the voter is (pro-
viding the proof of the interpretations
estabhshed) whether or not a person
guilty of an offense of this sort is the
proper person to place at the head of
the educational institutions of the
state.
