The Army and Navy Uegistor, which for a numborof years bas boon an ardent supporter of Lieut. Gen. Miles, in tbu last issue, editorially condemned Gen. Miles,' recent roport of atrocities in the Philippines. The editorial is as follows: "The judge advocate general of the army lias explaine 1 in a communication to tbo secretary of war, the valuolussness of Lieut. Gen. Miles' comments on what appears to be, in most instances, idle rumor and unsustained report. "Some of the atrocities to which Gen. Miles devotes himself came to his notiie m a most imnerconni way, and he charges were never hacked up by pro mised written statements, which ap peared to have been necessary in re penting officially such serious accusa tions. It teems to us that Gen. Miles has not contributed in any degree to the glory of the army by. making a report of thisJrind, aftiljgiike. as, thaiu! gone. ouron hlsway pin a nierely"vor bal filing, -which invites 'tlffAsuspicion of persuasion ami coercion, bv armv of ficers of witneses valuable to Lieut. Gen. Miles as giving support to the sensation al and indefinite charges he has made. "As the judge advocate general says, the instances set forth in the Miles re port have been made the Mibject of of ficial investigation. The government authorities have done all within their power, apjmrontly to trace these charges lo their source, and to punish the cul prits, if there are any We do not be lieve that Gen. Miles wished to contri bute to the ammunition of the critics of the army, or that lie realised that he was aiding the cause of tiie so-called anti imperialists, but the publicity whieh has attended hie report has that unfortunate effect. We haw believed that Gen. Miles had just caof e for complaining on account of some injustice of which he has been the object during the past few years, bat .his warmest inemis and admirers, among whom the Register would class itself, iimt deeply deplore the state of mind and form of exprg$t)ii with which the lieutenant general com manding has dealt with this subject. "In considering the condition of the Philippines, where some of the military acts were prohablv uninilitarv, to sav , - - - the least, it should lie considered that we have had in the islands 139,000 men. anu mere tias wen on unty in various parts of the arrhriwlajto no less than 6000 officer. The so-called atrocities, if those incidents have such a violent characteristic, were committed bv not more than twelve officers. This is a small percentage and might well justify salvage, when wc consider that the sub ject has been thoroughly agitated, and bas been, and is still, the object of offi cial investigation. It was a mistake to have touched on the matter in this offi cial way unless something more definite could be given than hu been vouchsafed by Gen. Miles. His report only served to renew an unpleasant, not to sav un seemly discussion, and it is to be regret ted that Gen. Miles) among the last act-' of a brilliant career, should have been betrayed into sfth an expression." Cdptured by Pershing's Forces. A recent dispatch Bays: Captain Pershing's column has defeated the Sultan of Amparuganos, a strong force of Moros in the Taraca country, on the east shore, of Lake Lanan, Island of Mindanao. The Americans captured ten forts. One hundred and fifteen Moros were killed, 13 wore wounded and 00 were made prisoners. The Moros cap tured included the Sultan. Two Ameri cans were killed ami seven were wounded. The ten forts constituted serious and strong positions on the banks of the Taraca River and from them the Moros vigorously resisted Captain Pershing's advance. The American troops attack ed the forts Monday and captured eight of them without suffering any losses, though the 30 obsolete cannon mounted on the fortifications wore served with the best of the enemy's ability. The gar rison of the ninth fort resisted fiercely, and Captain Pershing ordered the fort to be shelled end captured by assault, which was done, Lieutenants Shaw'antJ Grade, leading two companies of the Twenty-seventh Infantry and a detach ment of cavalry, surrounded the tenth fort, where the Sultan had sought refuge and it surrendered Tuesday. The forts have bjen dismantled. Captain Pershing moved north Tues day, to complete the exploration of the lake. The Spanish gunboat Valesco, sunk bv the ships of Admiral Dewey, off Cavite, has been raised. Her hull it not in jured, but her upper works show the ef fect of the American shells.

A cable to tho Sun from London says: Recent international developments make it impossible to avoid accusing Russia of violating those fundamental rules of in ternational intercourse without; which diplomacy comes to an end and 'leaves tho world at tho mercy of that primitive arbiter of dustiny, force. Htifsta vio lated the treaty of Iterlin tho other day by sending several torpedo-boats through the Dardanelles. Instead of notifying tho other signatory powers of her desire or intontion to abrogate the treaty, or this portion of it, sho resorted to a petty tubtcrfnee of clninelui; the Hag aud dismantling the guns of tho boats during their passage. Xotreaty over drafted will be worth the japcr it is written upon if its application ia sub. ject to such dishonest trickery, j A far more flagrant case is that of Russia's pending demands upon China regarding Manchuria and Mango ja. It is, of coun-e, greatly to Russia's chagrin that the official text of tho demands be comes public. They suffice to show that the denials made three days ago by the Russsian Embassadors at Washington anu iouuon were notning less than in suits to the American and Hritish na tions in their shameless mendacity Kussia gave an unequivocal promise to wunuraw lroni .Maucnuna anil to re store that province to the Chinese. Having fully established herself in the province she submits to China, a Jist of so-called conditions of withdrawal. These conditions, drawn in nunoselv loose language, are dusigncJ to admit of an interpretation which would bring all of Mongolia, ami even the province of Chi-li, in which Peking is situab!, mi dertRu-sian control. They provide, also, that Russia shall remain dominant in Vlanehurinn affairs. The premature publication of these demands, and the serious protests re tailing, leti.tiussia to ueny tno accuracy of the report. Her representatives eni bodied speciAc details in their denials. which, hen compared wi:h the orficial documents later, showed that thev "lied for their country" with almost fiendish ingenuity. Secretary of ttato Hay, wIhko protest had really saved the situation, was oblised. according to the rule? of the game, to ihank Russia for her "frank statement.'' Then China, under the influence of the American protect and British ami Jamneu advice, refused to crept the demands, and made them public. Such is the sit nation created by the unprincipled conduct of a great power. It constitutes a grave crisis in human affairs Mysterious Malady. Snrgeon General Wyman of the ma rine hospital service, Washington D. C, has sent a specialist to Montana to in vestigate a disease that is bringing man v deaths to tlie residents of the Bitter Root valley, and which is puzzling the physi cians and bacteriologists of that state. Twenty-five per cent of the persons at tacked die, and it is said a small tick which infesU- Bitter Root valley, where the diseaceis most prevalent, is respon sible for the trnble. Representative Dixon was the first to request Gen. Wyman to investigate the disease. In some respects it resembles spotted fever. A jerson would be attacked with the disease by a slight chill and in a few d-iys siots, which de veloped into pimples, appear all over tlie body of the victim. Death usually results in from ten to fifteen davs. Gen. Wyman some time ago called for detailed reports regarding the sickness in certain cases, but these rcjKirts failed to throw additional light on the cause of the malady. Gen. Wyman hopes that the secialist who has gone to Montana will be able to solve the mvstcrv. Notice for Sale of State Lands.
