GOME GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER?.# 1898. 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.” WHEJs YOU ARE TIRED.
