BEFOULS HIS NEST
Army Officers' Comment on
Miles' Report
INTENDED TO SLAP -AT ROOT
" . - i .
Bptte Against Administration and
War Secretary His Ruling; Mo
tl-res He Also'IIns Ere 'on Den- '
ocratlc domination.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, April 28. The private comments
among Army officers upon the report of
General Kelson A. Miles are very severe
upon that officer, and. If the remainder of
the Army feels as does the Washington
contingent. Miles win retire -with (ess
friends than any man" who has ever
reached his rank.
Two Independent New York papers the
Herald and Times $re severely critical on
the report, and express wonder why It
should have been made: Both papers re
fer to the -old proverb about the "HI bird
that befouls Its own nest.
Probably an explanation of Miles re
port Is that Miles desired to harm the Ad
znlnlstratlon and especially Secretary
Boot Everything- possible- to Irritate, the
Secretary Is Included In the report, and,
naturally, in criticising Root, officials
that have been detailed by Root or whose
acts have" been approved by him are hit.
The revival of -the "outrages of the Phil
ippines." .which have been threshed over
for two years at the hands, of Congress,
was done for no other purpose than to
annoy the Secretary of War. The refer
ence to the canteen was another slap at
the Secretary. "Beef on the hoof" has
been p. bobby with Miles for years, and
be has learned nothing In regard to the
facts. He points at the lack of fortifica
tions in the Islands as If he had Just dis
covered it, although the matter has been
brought to the attention of Congress every
year since the Philippines came Into the
possession of the United States.
It Is no doubt In the mind of both the
President and Secretary of War to retire
Miles, Just as they felt like doing more
than a year ago, but no action of this
kind will be taken, as it would make a
martyr of him. The Secretary feels that
lor four years he has submitted to like
treatment at the hands of the Command
ing General, and no doubt can do it until
the 15th of .August.
One explanation of Miles conduct is
that he Is a candidate for the Democratic
nomination. He sees the difficulty for
the Democrats to decide upon a man for
the Presidency, and that he might fill the
want which stares the Democrats in the
face. He may have something of this
kind in mlndt but his-greatest anxiety Is
to punish the Secretary of War and the
Administration.

eral Some Plain Trntue.
ST. PAUU -April 28. George a- Squires,
& prominent rattomey of this city, and a
brother-in-law of Major Edwin T. Glenn,
has written an open letter addressed to
General Miles m which be replies to the
strictures upon Major Glenn In the Gen
eral's report upon the alleged atrocities
In the Philippines. The letter says:
"If, Instead of listening to the uneop
ported statements of irresponsible natives,
you had taken the trouble to read the
sworn testimony in the last trial of Major
Glenn. I think even you would have been
convinced that the charges of atrocities,
which you so recklessly lay upon our
officers, are as nothing compared to the
hideous cruelties; committed by the Fili
pinos. "In conclusion, let me suggest that sot
even your prejudice against the Adminis
tration on the well-founded impression
that you went to the Philippines to find

BRITAIN AT THE. FAIR.
Prince of Wales TJraree Mannfactnr-
era to Make Good Display.
T-nvnON. Aoril 2S. The British Royal
Commissioners to the EL Louis Fair held
their first meeting today at Marlborough
House. The Prince of Wales, who pre
sided, made a SDeech during which he
pointed out the objects the Commission
had in view, and expressed the hope that
Great Britain would be adequately repre
sented at the Exposition-
After alluding- to the personal interest
which King Edward felt In the Exposition
uid to the short time avauaoie tor com
pleting the preparations for Great Brit-'
aln s representation, me ranee oi naies
said:
I. trust, the mtmbera of the. corpora
tions, Chambers of Commerce and other
public bodies at the centers of -Industry
will also -eo-o Derate in promoting the.
success of the British section. The Idea
is sometimes put forward that It Is not
much use Sot British manufacturers to
exhibit In the United States, as the high
customs tariff of that country tends to
militate against the sale of British prod
ucts. It should, however, be remembered
that there is a considerable market for
high-class goods in-the United States, and
that the Exposition wui anora an oppor
tunity for showing our manufactures to
customers from South America, Canada
and other countries. It may be- observed
that both France and Germany appear
fully to realize the advantages to be
gained In making a good display of their
products, and In these countries large
sums have been provided by their re
spective governments to assist In meet
ing the expense of the exhibits."
Commenting on the habit of British
manufacturers of confining themselves to
individual exhibits ralbar than striving to
make a good national display, the Prince
said he hoped the manufacturers would
now combine to. produce the best effects.
"It should be remembered' he added.
"that competition will not be between
individual British manufacturers, but be
tween them as a whole and their foreign
rivals."
Referring to the JISO.COO already appro
priated by the government, the Prince re-
rnar.cu;
'A decision regarding the full amount
to be granted will not. be arrived at until
it is ascertained to what extent British
manufacturers will show a willingness to
take part in the exhlbltlon. I feel sure
that a sufficient sum will be given to en
able the Commission to fulfill its duties
In a satisfactory manner.
'In conclusion I would express the hope
that the representation of this country
In the various departments may be
worthy of the British Empire."

JUST FCT OUT AS A FEELER.
VIctt of State Department About De
mands of Rnaalo.
WASHINGTON. April Si. No response
has come as yet from etthec Ambassador
McCormlck. at St Petersburg, or Minis
ter Conger, at Pekln. as to the Inquiries
respecting Russia's demands In connection
with Manchuria. The State Department
officials are In a state of uncertainty In
view of the conflicts In the semi-official
dispatches from the Russian and Chinese
capitals. In the absence of official state
ments of Russia's Dumoses the opinion
prevails here that these Russian demands
were really put out in a tentative lorm
last week and not In a regular official
shape. There la good reason to believe
that the Chinese government itself let
the demands leak out in order to secure
the support of the powers In Its refusal of
the Rutslan tenders.
Noting the Intense public excitement
over the proposition, the Russian govern
ment It Is surmised, took steps through
the statement issued In St Petersburg
yesterday to abandon several of the orig
inal demands. It is not doubted that such
reduction of the maximum, demands was
fully within cdntemplstlon when the ten
tative statement was thrown out
If this assumption Is well founded then
Russia will not further Interfere with the
consummation of the United States trade
treaty with China, including as It does
the new ports of Mukden and Taku Shan.
On the other hand, the fourth demand
characterized by the St 'Petersburg state
ment as "unimportant" Is not so regard
ed here, for it amounts to an Indefinite
continuance, under Russian direction, of
present conditions in China which win
etop all reform movements. It is now
learned that In the original statement of
this fourth demand, namely, "the politi
cal status of the administration of Man
churia is to remain unchanged," there was
an Important clement of error, and the
word Mongolia should take the, place of
Manchuria.
The demand, as thus modified, continues
the status quo in all North China.
