Ex Secretary John Sherman i« quoted us having said in a lo cal interview : ’‘The man at the head of the great governmental department must hold himself , responsible (or the acts of his * ( subordinates. If he is not com- petent to manage his depart ment so as to see to it that the C t - men under him perform their duties properly he is aot fit for the position.” Mr. Sherman, commenting upon the report that a War De partment official has been inca pable at times through i n toxica-j tion, said, according to this in terviewer: "If it is true that one soldier has died because a respon •ible officer was drunk, that offi cer should be cashiered—no, he should be—” Mr. Sherman filled the blank with a gesture that described the gallows. Mr. Sherman is apparently confident that 'w , is his niece’s husband, will force e »general investigation of the u War Department, and especially g in regard to the management at Siatiago. a President McKinley does not u want any further investigation p of the charges made against the t War Department by Gen Miles v or iaaobody else before the Col- c gressional elections. c Threats against Miles are less g common at the war department. * President McKinley is probably j responsible for the caution said •> to havg been waiting for Gen. ( Bhafter when he landed today, in the shape of an official tele gram advising him not to talk for publication about any matter in. controversy respecting the Santiago compaign, Gen. Miles will probably find a message waiting for him when be lands at Montauk Point re questing him not to talk on this vital topic until lie sees President McKinley. Gen. Miles is are publican, and even though he mav be considered a presidential candidate by his- friends and therefore in some sense a rival both of President McKinley and Secretary Alger, who can only be cured of the president! 1 fever by death, he is expected to yield to counsels. lhe representatives in the houso and senate have had too many appointments in the array to be harsh in an investigation.

Gattrell and Ruymond Miller, clerks in the Wave caudy store at Stockton, told the police, after haring examined the candy and box sent to Mrs. Dunning, that neither was bought at that store. W. F.

The nurse asserted that Mrs. Botkin once expressed the fear that some of her correspon dence with Dunning would fdl in to the hands of the police hut later said she had no fear, as Dunning was too smart to allow such a thing to happen, Detective McVey ha J an inter view with the prisoners yesterday and during the conversation told her that he might have pleasure of accompanying her across the con tinent, whereupon she indignantly exclaimed: ‘Time alone will fell whether or not you will have Ihe opportunity !” It is said that the evidence ad duced yesterday has made no iin pression on the grand jury and if no stronger case shall ne made ffit that body will ignore the clnrge against the woman.

Such conduct I believe b be prejudicial to the best interests of the army, and not to beqii stly borne without seekiig le gitimate relief; and that tie in dividual guilty thereof is unfit for the office of honor anc trust he holds. I, therefore, seek to deprive him of it for th l good of those who may hreafter come under his control; and, if this be not possible, to told him up to the contempt of a decent and law-abiding peopji.
