"There can be no doubt but the antipathy
of many of the European notvspapera

American newipaperi themHelvea.
Take, for Instance, the New York Iler"
aid of June 12 laat.
g "it publlahed a half page of fluff
from West Point, charging that the
; United States military bureaus are offices

era! Miles with being without military j
education, and aays that General Mer- I
; rttt <a the only general to-day with a ]
military record entitling him to the ,
command of the forces In the field. It
doses with in appeal lo "stop making j
cqllltary figureheads, and to 'put a real
"Miff in command.' The letter Is
. - headed: *By Poultney Bigelow. Spe- i
clal correspondence of the London 1
Times/ and although I hnve not found
the letter In the London Times, such an
article going all over Europe as hsvlng 1
been launched by the British Thunderer i
and indorsed by the New York Herald, <
which caters to Europe, cannot fall to I
Injure America and its cause. <
"A publication of General Miles' re- .
cord might .aid to olTset the mischief t
created by the Herald." 1
As an American citizen of English J
deseent, I ask permission to attempt <
? correction through your columns of I
certain impressions which have gone to J
Europe regarding the United States,and <
the officials upon whom devolves the
dotr of conducting the war with Spain.
One result of this conflict Is the Increase
of tfordial and friendly relations between
Great Britain and this country; '
bat the reports which have gone abroad (
and which are being circulated by re- j
epectable newspapers (so-called) have .
not tended to foster and encourage 1
friendship, Inasmuch a9 they reflect up- <
on,the general commanding the forces <
In the field. <
The conquests at Mtanlln and at San- <
tlago de Cuba -were not accidents, and
they olight in a measure to disprove the
charges of inefficiency. But the specific ?
charge that General Miles is without '
military training ought to be met J
equarely by the specific facts which
should have the widest circulation. 1
Thef are interesting, and they may '
prove an incentive to the rising gener- 1
ation. Their publication is made the <
more necessary because no extended bi- <
ography of the general- has ever been f
published. <

son A. Miles was a clerk In a counting i
bouse Id Boston. At bis own expense <
he raised a company of one hundred {
men, which he tendered to the nation, J
with his services. But he was only
twenty-two years of age; and, being
deemed too young to command it, he
went to the front as lieutenant. And :
yet, at the end of thirteen months, he j
was a full-commissioned colonel, commanding
a regiment In the field, end In J
about three years thereafter he commanded
the Second corps in the Army 1
of the Potomac. This was the largest
and hardest worked corps in that
array.whlch formed a battle line around '
Richmond twenty-six miles long, was
always the nearest to the enemy and '
was the corps to which General Lee
sent his offer of surrender. And. furthermore,
General Miles managed his
command eo successfully that General ;
Grant personally recommended the
young major general ti> President Abraham
Lincoln for his gallantry, as Gen- i
erallleade. who commanded at Gettysburg,
had already done.
If history records the name of any
other general who successfully managed
25,000 men on the battlefield at the
early age of twenty-flva years x do not
know that name.
It Is true, as charged, that General
Miles was not educated et West Point.
It la equally true that he had the advantage
of a higher "military training"
than any military academy In the world
could give. His school was on the
march and in the battlefield; In th<*
trench, the camp and the fort.Hcation.
In bis school theory gave way to practice;
the imaginary to the realistic; tha
blackboard exercises to veritable object
lessons. The course ?f was
longer than the ordinary academic; it
was more thorough, also, and the curriculum
was more extended.
Moreover, the regular was supplemented
by a post-graduate course. The
young hero who was thrice wounded
and who was four times brcvetted for
gallantry on the battlefield; who had

which Included every grade from

In the regular ??stabllKhment commanding
all th<? armies of the United
States. To these were added his postgraduate
degrees In the shnpe of the
rote* of thanks of four h'giflatures.state
and territories. In addition to a congressional
medal of honor, the people
of Arlxoha gave him a Jeweled sword;
for General Miles finally subdued the

ST. LOUI8, August 2.?Senator James
[ K. Jones, of Arkansas, chairman of the
, national Democratic committee, who
- was in the city conferring with prom[

I say concerning our foreign policy before
I he left for New York:
' "The United Slates 1s pledgsd to the
world that an Independent and stable
government shall be established In Cu.
ha. When I voted for that resolution
. nothinc: was said about Imperialism.
. This country cannot afford to go back
on Us pledge. These are my private
views, which I believe are those of th?
Democratic party.
*"I do not know what conditions may
, arise respecting Cuba, but I have never
4 known a Spanish-American community
1 capable of self-government and It la
possible that since we set out to free
s Cuba from Spanish domination we may
- be compelled to pursue a course which
r will eventuate in the control of the IslC
and. While I *m not in favor of the
1 acquisition of territory In the tropics,
1 this course would be less objectionable
than any other.'
1 "Cuba Is adjacent to the United
[ States, as 1? Porto Rico, but the thought
1 of annexing the Philippines Is prepos
terous, un-democratic, and not In ac;
cordance with the principles handed
' down from the days of Thomas Jeffert
son.
: "We began this war to secure the in.
dependence of Cuba and nothing more.
