EEASONS FOE HIS EMPHATIC PROTEST UTTERLY SUBVERSIVE OF INTERESTS OF iMETLITfAIRT ES TABLISHMENT AND HE WHLiL NOT BE PARTY TO SUOH P,RO- OBEDING. Washington, March 20. General Nel son A. Miles today told the senate , commute on miltbarysaffairs if the bill introduced by Senator Hawley at the , instance of the war department for the organization of a general staff for I the army should heoome a law he would decline to Uongefr hold his com- mission. Thef reason given is that the ibill is utterly subversive of the inter- - in , , . este of the military establishment and . ,, a, ,A he said he would not be a party to such a proceeding to the extent of con- tinuing to hold the place. The state- ment was made in the course of a pro- longed 'hearing hy the committee, con- ducted (behind closed doors and in (which General Miles touched upon a variety of subjedte connected with the army. ' Ti,a' fv, mV,u ru The .portion of the iM to which he di- rected especial cnticism is section 7, reading: "The senior general officer of the army shall be assigned command of such portion of the army as the preel- dent may direct, or be detailed for duty in the general staff corps. All the du- ties prescribed bv law for the com- mandant general of the army shall be performed by th. chief of the general staff or-othr general nffirer MmatPd by the secretary of war, provided so long as the preserit lieutenant general of the army continues on the active list h shall pe,tbe-.ebief of the. general staff jjand upon separation from active service of the said lieutenant general of the army, the said office, except as herein P Genral Miles said if this provision (became. a law it would have the effect of destroying the unity of the army. He read numerous authorities, includ- ing Napoleon, Wellington, Washington, Oass and Grant to show the necessity of having hut one head. His own experience and observation, he said, had had the effect of confirm ing these views, and he gave an illustra tion of its Ten.eficial effect in time of emergency, instancing the beginning of tthe""var with Spain. "I heard at midnight," he said, "that the Spanish fleet had Ifoeen located defi nitely at Santiago and I hastened to the home of Secretary Long, where the news wiac confirmed.

"But what is your standard of quali- fication for self government?" asked Senator Patterson. : Gen. Otis declared that he did not measure the capacity of the Filipinos for self government iby the capacity of the people of the United States. A question by ISenator Beveridge re- literature sent from the United States - rvreciDitated a livelv discussion. Gen. otis said that when Mabini was brought in he had a pile of New York papers with him which had antagoniz- ed the sovereignty of the United States in tne 'Philippines. ,T)id he have any. Of Senator Hoar's speeches?" inquired Senator Patterson. ,ir., ,T,. c,qc, on Oh, yes; those speeches were all over the islandSf repiied the witness, Senator Allison, who was in the chair, said he would exclude any allusion to senators' speeches; Senator Patterson interjected the remark that senators should not be attacked from, masked batteries. Senator Allison thought that where a senator's name was involved it gave nim tne right to choose before the com- aQd defgnd himsel and guch reerences should be excluded, Senator Carmack, with much earnest- neSs, said he wanted to take his part of the responsibility for saying that the war in the Philippines is "utterly and absolutely infamous and criminal, If any proof can foe made that I am in- citing 'Filipinos -by such speeches," said ne 1 want it aone.

His re mark was greeted with an outburst of laughter, hut Hawley made it in all earnestness in the course of a speech in winch he strongly advocated the passage of the hill. He declared that tnere was no force whatever in the criticisms of the bill. He said he did not see why the senate should delay its passage five imiinutes. The demo crats opposed the bill with the excep tion of Pettus. He expressed helief that if McKinJey had heen guarded by a proper military guard instead of se cret service officers he would be alive today. The remarks of Pettus were' oc casioned !by a notice given hy Mallory that he would offer a substitute to the seventh section of the bill requiring a detail of army officers to protect the president. . 'Mallory explained that his substitute would require a guard of the treasury officers guard for the presi dent. A number opposing the bill con tended it would fail of its object. Money attributed its introduction to "hysteria" resulting from the assassi nation of (McKInley. Spooner, Hawley, Nelson and McCumber advocated the measure. It was agreed to vote on the bill and amendments at 4 o'clock to morrow. . ' Senator Aldrich, from the committee on finance, today presented to the sen ate the report of that committee on the bill repealing the war revenue act and thus made public for the first time, the amendments to the (bill suggested by the committee. There are many changes in the language of the bill, but except! in one instance the intention of the house bill of repealing the entire act is respected. The exception is the pro vision in the existing law providing for the taxation of "bucket shops," which provision is left intact and the tax con tinued in effect. It is understood that there will be no effort on either side-.of the senate to amend the bill and' it is not expected that there will be any pro longed debate upon it.

During the consideration of the river and harbor bill in the house today Bellamy in ad vocating the improvement of rivers and harbors in North Carolina referred to the Crumpacker resolution for investi gation of the abridgement of suffrage in the several states pleaded that the if and security now istinS ln Je south and the unity resulting from the Spanish war be not disrupted by parti san politics and a renewal of sectional strife and 'bitterness.

Lawyer Aydlett for the defense was the last speaker. He declared that the authorities agreed that all symptoms of drowning fall when the person' has been in the water so long as 37 days. He jnade a forceful argument to sus tain his position. As an indication of the sentiment against the .prisoner a number of peo ple left JthV-.i.T-n house while Aydlett was speaking. There is danger of vio- ence In the event of acquittal. There is otpen talk of lynching. The feeling against Wilcox has steadily increased during the trial. The evidence has satisfied the crowd that he is uiltv of the deliberate murder of Nellie Cropsey, but, doubt also exists that the proof has been sufficiently definite to secure from the jury a verdict of guil ty.
