STILL CRITICISIXG AMERICA.
London Correspondent Finds Mnch
"Wrong in Philippines.
NEW YORK, May 7. Perclval Landon,
In the second of his series of letters from
Manila on "The American Failure In the
Philippines." printed in the Daily Mail
today, argues, according to a London
dispatch to the "World, that the difficulties
of the situation were considerably in
creased by the capture of Aguinaldo.
"Little Importance need be attached,"
ho asserts, "to the recent exposure by
General Miles that a certain number of
Americans disgraced themselves by acts
of abominable cruelty. It Is no more of
a slur upon the American Army than
the records of the Newgate calendar are
upon the Inhabitants of London. Through
out the war American soldiers plaved the
game well and fairly, and It Is no dis
credit to them that it is not yet carried
to a successful close."
Enumerating the causes of the unsat
actory condition, Mr. Landon mentions
Arrested as Members of Mob.

Prick. J. C. "Ruff" Nichols, and Jeff

"WASHINGTON, May 7. The feature of
today's developments in the Postofiice in
vestigation was a letter by Seymour W.
Tulloch, for many years cashier of the
"Washington City Postofiice, to Postmaster-General
Payne, In reply to the latter's
letter requesting any Information Mr.
Tulloch might have to sustain his pub
lished statements charging irregularities
in the Postofiice Department and the
"Washington City Postofiice several years
ago. Mr. Tulloch in his letter takes ex
ception to personal comments of Mr.
Payne, and refrains from giving any
facts bearing on the Investigation, sug
gesting that the officials to whom Mr.
Payne has written have all the necessary
data If they choose to give it.
"While thus refusing to give any informa
tion In the letter under the circumstances,
Mr. Tulloch said tonight that he Is ready
to substantiate everything he has said,
but that he wants first to read the replies
of the persons to whom the Postmaster
General has written before going Into de
tails. Mr. Tulloch's letter to Mr. Payne
says:
"I havo to acknowledge the receipt of
your letter of the 5th ln3t., referring
to certain statements said to have been
made by me reflecting upon certain offi
cials, and which appeared In the Wash
ington Post.
Language Held Undignified.
"According to accounts published
throughout the dally press. It would ap
pear that the Postmaster-General, during
a public interview with reference to the
article In question, and in the presence of
representatives of, the leading newspa
pers of the country,' referred to me as a
'mere wind bag and as one who should
'make good his hot air or- be publicly
branded as a calumniator, a slanderer and
a liar.' Such language at such a time
was apparently unnecessary and certainly
undignified.
It is also publicly stated that you havo
addressed letters to ex-Postmaster-General
Charles Emory Smith. Fourth As
sistant Postmaster-General Brlstow, R. J.
Tracewell, Comptroller of the Treasury,
and John A. Merrltt. Postmaster at Wash
ington, D. C., requesting them to Inform
you as to the truth of the statements con
tained In the Interview as published. If
the gentlemen in question will reply and
tell the truth, the whole truth and noth
ing but the truth, they cannot, I believe,
but fully substantiate the statements made,
and anything further fromme is unneces
sary. Considering, however, the language
attributed to the Postmaster-General, I
would consider it a favor to be furnished
copies of the replies received In response
to this request."
Mr. Tulloch, In an Interview with the
Associated Press, tonight said:
"In answering the Postmaster-General's
letter, as I did. It seemed to me to be nec
essary that I should put myself right be
fore the public, as the Postmaster-General
alluded to m In the terms mentioned In
a public manner, and has stated that the
gentleman to whom he wrote did not
confirm my statements. I reserve to
myself the right to read the replies of
those to whom he wrote as a result of
the publication of my statements, and to
refresh the memories of those parties. If
necessary. 1 stand, as I have always
stood, ready to make good any state
ments that I have made. Before going
further In the matter, however, or ex
posing the evidence I have in hand, I
want to have an opportunity to read and
criticize the replies of the persons men
tioned in my letter. That Is only fair.
The next move now rests with the Postmaster-General.
Xo Public Prosecutor.
"The Postofiice Department is today
making a careful Investigation of its af
fairs. The facts I have stated are by
no means new. They are known to scores
of persons In this city and are known
to Fourth. Assistant Postmaster-General
Brlstow and his associates. There Is no
necessity for my appearing as a public
prosecutor In the case. I was willing at
the time of the original investigation to
render Mr. Brlstow what aid I could by
stating the condition of affairs In the
Postofiice Department and the Washing
ton Postofiice, four and five years with
which I was personally familiar at the
time of my removal as an 'obstacle.'
"Conditions are now .more Important
than details. It Is a well-known fact
that Thomas W. Gilmer, the special ex
pert of the Controller of the Treasury,
and one of the most efficient men In the
service, was removed by Controller
Tracewell by order of Acting Secretary
Vanderllp, whom, I believe, afterward re
pented of his hasty action and advised
Mr. Gilmer to apply for a detail to an
other bureau of the Treasury Depart
ment. Mr. Gilmer had the written orders
of the Controller at the time of hla re
moval, prohibiting him from taking up
the affairs of the New York and Wash
ington Postofflces. As far as known, no
further Investigation of the succeeding
and still more Interesting quarters of the
year was made by any one else."
At the Pcetofflce Department today
Postmaster-General Payne said there
were no new devolpments in the investi
gation. The Inspectors are still at work
In most of the branches of the depart
ment and Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Brlstow has reported to Mr.
Payne that he expects to submit his re
port on the Investigation between June 1
and June 15. The recent readjustment
of salaries of clerks In the Presidential
Postofflces Is being minutely examined
and it is expected that the rolls in many
of the larger Postofflces wil have to be
overhauled.

XEW RIFLE FOR TUB ARMY.
United State Will Have the 3Iost
Powerful Weapon In the "World.
WASHINGTON, May 7, The Army
Board, which has been for months past
considering the merits of the new service
rifle, or musket, has finally declared In
favor of a weapon with a barrel only 21
Inches In length, using a .30 ball. The
new gun Is a remarkable weapon, accord
ing to the ordnance officers, for while It I
Is six Inches shorter than the Krag and
only two Inches longer than the carbine.
It Is more powerful than cither, with a
higher initial velocity and flatter tra
jectory. It can easily penetrate 24 one-inch
pine planks. It Is a pound lighter than
the service rifle, which Is a consideration
In the tropics.
A new feature Is a complete encasement
of the barrel In wood to prevent burning
of the hands of the marksmen when the
gun Is rapidly discharged. The gun was
evolved by the United States Army offi
cers, and Is not patented. It Is said to be
the most powerful musket In the world.
