SHAFTER HIISBACK
Attack of “Yellow Press Sim
pig Oiltrageoils.’’
LETTERS THE RESULT
>Of Personal Spite, General likes
H. Clay Evans.
Nashville, Oct. I.—Postmas.
ter Wills today received a letter
from Gen. Shafter, dated Camp
Wikoff, Sept. 26, in which the
general says of new paper attacks
upon him :
attacks of (he yellow
press upon me and upon others
of the administration are simply
outrageous. The articles are fill
ed with untruths, beginning
with, the one that I was respon
sible for the equipment of the
army with Springfield rifles,
which you (and every other)
sensible man) know is a lie.
The behavior of some of the
yellow journalists was so out
rageous, before we even got into
Cuba, that I had to put my hand
on them, and after we got into
Cuba it was still worse. Then
letters are the result of personal
spite. If I had come back with a
defeated army there might have
neen soifle excuse for their talk,
but having commanded one of
the most successful campaigns
of modern military history, it is
simply an outrage.
“I am very fond of Evans
(pension commissioner) and am
very glad that you are defending
him. Some of the G. A. R. are
simply unbearable, and seem toj
think that if they can’t have the I
treasury turned over’ to them
they are being defrauded Very
truly yours,
‘•Wm. R Shafter.”
