In Cuba.
No one who has not served IN a
cabinet. or other highly responsible po-
sition under a national administers
ton, can realize how what seem to
be trivial things. may prove to be Of
the utmost consequence; so that the
tendency is for officials often to ex-
aggerate really unimportant tribes ire
mendously. This Is especially true dur
ing period Of great stress. as when
a war is on: and suppofe that that
was largely my state of mind when
sought out the president in regard to
Col Roosevelt.
AT any rate, there appeared one
morning in the newspapers the sub
stance of a communication from Col.
Roosevelt in which he appeared to crit
icise the war department because his
regiment was getting insufficient or
improper food. There was, also, a de-
mand that the Rough Riders be imme-
d.ately ordered from Cuba to some
place where the fevers that were i'm
pairing their health and efficiency
could be got rid of. AS read all this
! fiared up instantly with indignation.
1t appeared to me an improper thing
for an army officer to do. and was es.
pecially angry because the communi.
cation had been made public, apparent
ly, before 1t had been sent to the war
department.

McKinley's Wise Moderation

In my opinion. this Is a clear case Of

over. think the seriousness of the
situation Is greatly aggravated by the
fact that this communication, which
