GEN, WILSON -
INDIGNANT
Storv of His Resignation in
Rank Canard.
not wrem.
■No Complaint to Make*'Against the
Administration —Satisfied With
His Place.
General James H. Witevn will not re
sign. He-says that he has no intention of
doing anything of the kind, and is at a
lons to knew where any Much report got
out.
The statement which appeared in a
morning paper to the effect that he would
resign is untrue and all the officers at the
con* headquarters say they have given
out no such information. A reporter of
lhe News called at the headquarters this
morning and asked if it was true that
General Wilson would resign. He was
■handed the following by Lieutenant Stew
art .Genera) Wilson’s aide.
“The statement published in the morn- '
ing papers today that General Wilson in- j
tends to resign is entirely unauthorized I
and without foundation. When he left i
■the army before it was “for the interval ,
of peace which might elapse between the
date of his resignation and the beginning .
of the next war.” When he came into
•the army -this time it was to remain so
song as bis services might be required,
and he has no expectation of quitting
until the government signifies that it has
no longer any use for his services. He
was not aci applicant for the chief com
mand in Cuba, though he would have felt |
honored had the assignment been given
him. He has no grievances whatever
against the administratio®.”'
General Wilson was seen in regain to
the matter and was asked if it was true
that he would send in his resignation, or
•if he had any intention of so doing. He
replied “The report is absolutely without
foundation and is 'the work of some smart
Aleck reporter, who is meddling in some- i
body else’s business. 4 understood that '
he sent the report out in the Associated .
Tretts and I want you -to correct it. When ,
I get ready to resign I will let the people J
know it. I wish that you would correct
the impression in your paper this aftei -
noon and say that the morning paper bad
no foundation for its statement. I would
like to see the man who wrote that article,
anyway/"
It can lie seen from the general s state
ment that he has been grossly misrepre
sented and that he was in no way an ap
plicant for the position of military gov
ernor of Cuba. He was angry this morn
ing when the "News reporter called and he
grew angrier as he talked of the matter.
All of General Wilson’s staff say that
the general has not -intimated in the
slightest that he would resign, and say
that they do not know where the paper
got its information.
It is thought that the story was made
up on the statement of several men who j
s.iid that General Wilson was disappointed
because he did not get the appointment I
as military governor of Cuba.

So many men like our styles and prices they never
experiment buying elsewhere. Arid the number
grows each season. Small wonder that it should; for
every normal man likes his Suit or Overcoat to be in
the latest mode-well fashioned and possessing the
air and fit of having been made for him
Occasionally alterations have to be resorted to. Cus
tom tailors practice that on their SbO.OO products.
We make the Suit or Overcoat fit you perfectly, or
decline to sell you. That’s our policy.
