MR, BARRETT'S STATEMENT. A Strong Review of Ills Position Re garding Asolnaldo. Washington Times. - Mr. John Barrett, formerly our minister to Slam, having been accused bv the New York Evening Post of inconsistency in his treatment of Aguinaldo and the Tagal mutiny, has addressed a letter to that Journal, which it prints. He writes: 1 noticed by a clipping of your paper at nand-tnat you intimate that I am incon sistent in my treatment of our Philippine poncy. . i-ermu me to taice exception to that conclusion. Had you before you the entire text of my different addresses, you would at . once see that I have not been in the least desxee inconsistent. Unfor tunately. some papers in America have selected certain portions or my address at Shanghai, made before the outbreak In the Philippines, and compared what I have said since then without quoting those Darts of the former which referred in nlain terms to what my position would be if Aguinaldo and his followers took up arms against the United States, after the United States had done all In lts power to prevent war. "I admit that when I delivered my Shang hal address in January. 1S98, I firmly op posed hghtlng If It could be avoided, and, wishing to be lair. 1 gavo Aguinaldo ana his followers credit for all they had done, but plainly and unequivocally stated at the same time that If he persisted in fighting I could have no more sympathy for him and his cause. - Later ana shortly before the outbreak, when I saw him personally for the last time, I told him that I had used my influence m every way possible to prevent a conflict, and that it would be far better for him to come to terras with General Otis and Admiral Dewey than to fight, adding that if fight ing did ensue the united etates would be forced to carry the war tnrougn to an end. which would mean the complete removal of all vestlsres of insurrection. "Since the fighting began, convinced irom personal study of the field that we did the best we could to avoid a conflict. I have taken the around Irom my knowledge of Malav or Filipino character tnat there must be no weakening in our policy or no cessation of hostilities unless to give us eomDlete control of the islands and peo pie with, however, tne nope tnat we can establish a government there with a large deeree of autonomy. "What I have said about the effect of the so-called antl-Iraperlallstic agitation in the Philippines has been based entirely on ac tual knowledge, of the same, even to the decree of seeing and having in my posses slon the circular iorm or certain printed matter which was distributed in large quantities through the Filipino army and among their people from tne Filipino press and the Hong-Kong agencies of the Filipino Junta. I would have you bear In mind that I have at no time assailed the personal character or honesty of motive of any man opposing our policy In the Philippines. Bather have I taken particular pains to speak highly of the character of men leading. this agitation. In Boston the other day I made no attacK whatever on the per sonality of Senator Hoar, but, on the other hand, I referred In specific terms to his hljth moral and mental standards, aiy ob observations were confined to a simple statement of fact, covering the use of his address In Congress by agencies which very likely he did not control. I described the effects of such speech upon tne-1 uipinos, because, again, I had tangible evidence thereof. "My whole purpose In my different ad dresses in discussing this point has been to show that the agitation has been harmful in that it has had the direct effect of en couraging the Filipinos to fight us; and the great majority of the army and navy men at Manila, particularly Admiral Dewey and General Otis. If they could express them selves freely, would confirm every word I, say on this point. "In interviews. In speeches, and In arti cles for magazines. I have been Inspired solely with, the desire to tell the truth; and rather than be carried away by prejudice or excitement, I have spoken calmly and can didly of the strength of Aguinaldo and his forces and the Influences which led up to the present conflict. Because I am thus frank and state both sides I am called in consistent where I am simply endeavoring to confine myself to truthful descriptions or conditions. "Considering the fact that In none of my addresses have 1 called names or descended to personalities in any shape or form. I am surprised that certain men and papers, in order to weaken my arguments, have seen fit to make personal attacks on me, and in that way cast renections on the value of my statements. It would seem to me that such discussions as these, which are for the ben tfit of everybody, should be conducted without Impugning a man's motive or charac ter. Miss Idn Cnrr Mlstnjr. MIDDLES BORO.

WHEELER AT SANTIAGO

THE GENERAL'S EFFECTIVE REPLY TO SOME OF HIS CRITICS. The Battle of Las Gnaslmas Was In Strict Obedience to Orders and t'scful In Its Results. New York Tribune. In Stephen Bonsai's book about the Sant iago campaign, published last winter, and In other publications of about that time nota bly a letter to the editor of the Tribune prlned on March 17 appear some serious strictures on General Joseph Wheeler's professional conduct in that campaign. The general's official reply to his critics, made in the form of a report to the adjutant general, with the approval and by direction of General Miles, which has now issued from the Government Printing Office, is so explicit that it ought to be more familiar to the general public than a War Depart ment publication is likely to make it. One of the chief accusations brought against General Wheeler, In the letter to the editor of the Tribune already referred to, which followed Mr. Bonsai's lead, is that the engagement of Las Guaslmas, at which he commanded, was fought in direct disobedience of General Sftafter's orders and Interfered with his plans. In. reply to this grave charge General Wheeler shows that on June 23 General Shafter sent for him. expressed great anxiety at not having heard from General Isawton, told him that there was a Spanish force at Siboney and directed him to proceed to Its immediate vicinity with the dismounted cavalry then on shore. General Shafter's exact orders being to "proceed to Jurugua and throw forward pickets to Juraguacito" another name t-r Siboney. General Wheeler says: "The sea was so high that the captain of my transport stated that It was not safe for his boats to be lowered at that time, but I Inslsed upon his doing so, reached the shore, procured the horses, directed the Hotchklss guns and the dynamite gun to move forward as soon as possible, gave the same directions to Colonel -Wood and Gen eral Younz. and then, accompanied by Ma jor Beach, Lieutenant Steele and Air. v eston, of my starr, ana one oraeny, i roae rap idly to Siboney." General Wheeler proceeds to relate mat r a i a. he found General Lawton's division, 5.400 strong, had been halted before reaching Slbonev. and was camnea on tne biDoney and Dalaulri roid: that the enemy had left Siboney that morning ana were ngnting; with Cubans on the Siboney and Santiago read: that after riding to the front and re cennoitering he was convinced that it would be a great military advantage to attack and defeat tho enemy in their position, and that thereupon he directed the command to take breakfast before daylight the next morning and start to the front at dawn. This was done, and the enemy was found in the position they occupied the previous night, about three miles irom biDoney. Gen eral Wheeler continues: BEGINNING THE FIGHT. "A man was sent across to General Wood to let him know that we were In position and that the enemy was directly in our front. What appeared to be the right of the enemy's line was in full view. The space intervening between thia portion of the enemy's line and our position was quite open, but tho enemy's left was hidden by heavy timber . and undergrowth. As we were not fired upon, and as I had been unable to find the bulk of the Cuban force, I feared for a moment that the men we aw might be Cubans. I therefore, together with Major Beach, rode to a little elevation in front and carefully examined them with a powerful class1, and. beine: satisfied that they were Spaniards, I went back and or dered a shot to be flred from one of the Hotchklss guns. This was replied to by a long line of infantry and the fight com menced. Shortly afterward we heard shots to our lert, which told us that Wood was Also in action. Bell's) dismounted squadron or tne rirst cavalry was immediately ad vanced, and Major Norvell, leaving Captain Ayres's troop-with the battery, deployed his other three troops into the line and the seven troops advanced together. Officers and men fought with great gallantry, continuing to advance, and in an hour the fight was won. The enemy s retreat was rreciol tate, and our men. being exhausted, ant all the men and regimental officers being; on loot, pursuit was impossible. uur Io.tps were sixteen killed and fifty-two woundet and, after giving directions In regard to Ok care of the wounded and the burial of the dead, I rode rapidly to Sevilla. which was in iuu view of Santiago, and then rode on to a point about seven miles from Santiago. Immediately after the fight was over I wrote to General Shafter and received from him complimentary replies. That afternoon I received Instructions to take command of all the troops on shore, and in the evening receivea tne iouowing rrom General Shafter's adjutant general: "The commanding general directs me to say that he is giad to near sucn good news and that voi 2 re occupying the enemy's ground." The following day General Wheeler re ceived direct from General Shafter a message containing tne words, "Your news is excellent." and on that day General Shafter received congratulatory dispatches irom ino i'rcsiaent ana secretary of war. in nis report or sept. 13 General Shafter referred to the Las Guaslmas fight as follows: "The engagement had an inspiring effect upon our men and doubtless correspondingly depressed the enemy, as it was now plainly demonstrated to them that they had a foe to meet who would advance upon them under heavy fire delivered from intrenenments." The foregoine expressions of r,rn.ri Shafter do not indicate that he considered his orders to have been disobeved and his plans interrupted by General Wheeler's action, and General Wheeler adds that in all his talks about the fight General Shafter spoke or the action in complimentary terms. ana in nis neanng told members of Con gress emphatically that it had a very im portant and beneficial bearing upon the campaign. LAWTON'S TESTIMONY. An important point to note is that the charge of disobedience is made to rest on alleged statements of General Lawton; but General Wheeler insists that If he had no such support as the foregoing facts furnish the evidence of General Lawton itself would prove his case. Thus In his testimony before the war investigating committee General Lawton said: "I was directed by the general commanding to proceed toward Siboney with Instructions to capture the place. If possible, and hold it;" while on June 23. referring to tne retreat of the Spanlards, he said: "The retreat is rapid. Im possible to follow up with infantry. A squadron of cavalry would have enabled me to capture the command. General Wheel er's comments are that General Lawton's order;- are thus shown to have necessarily contemplated battle; that his own orders were practically identical: that he "was ordered up to a town occupied by Spanlards, and tnis certainly meant that he ' was to right them if it was to our advan tage to fight." Again referring to the use of General Lawton as a witness against him, General Wheeler quotes this sentence from Mr. Bon sai s book: "General Lawton was at first, not unnat urally displeased with the way In which orders had been Ignored and the whole plan of campaign frustrated, and in expressing to General heeler his opinion of the es capade he stated that every man who had ianen in tne uuasimas ngnt naa been need lessly sacrificed. To this General Wheeler decisively replies as rouows: "It is my duty to say that this statement Is absolutely untrue. The first time I saw General Iawton that day was some hours after the fight had taken place. I had re ceived orders from General Shafter to tak command of everything1 on shore. I was the senior officer on the island of Cuba, and General Lawton was the seventh in rank. He came up to me. shook my hand, compli mented me upon the fight and said: "I am very glad. Indeed, to serve under you." The utter groundlessness and Incorrectness of Mr. Bonsai s statement will be best under stood when we recall that General Lawton had not seen General Shafter since the evening of the 21st. He could not possibly at tnat time nave Known wnat General Wheeler's orders were. It Is a pleasant duty for me to derend General Lawton from the charge of belncr guilty cf such unaoldierly impropriety. The idea of a Junior officer expressing himself in such a way to the general commanding the troops In an enemy's country in time of war Is prepos terous in tne mgnest degree. DID NOT FAVOR B 17TB EAT. The other serious stricture on General Wheeler by his critics is that he favored a retreat of the American forces in the ilrrt

The letter to the editor of the Tribune says: "Army men declare that Generel Wheeler favored a retreat on the second, and only changed his views when he found himself in the minority at the meeting" (of generals on the evening cf July t) Mr. Bonsai also says that, altnougn General heeler stood against re treat while the others were wavering on the night of July X, he had modlned hi views to pome extent on the afternoon of the second, and Mr. Donsal quotes from an account of the night conference alleged to have been written by one of the officers) present these words: "General Kent told: us that on that afternoon General Wheeler came to see him. and was most emphatla and outspoken in his desire to retreat." Ta this General. Wheeler responds as follows: "This statement is absolutely untrue, t was emphatic and positive and earnest against retreating from the time we took, San Juan hill until July 16 when Santiago surrendered. General Kent has written to me positively denying that he ever made the alleged statement, or that I ever made such a statement to him. This statement of Mr. Bonsai was called to the attention cf Captain Matthew F. Steele, who served on my stafT. Captain Steele states positively that this statement is untrue. He says that when General Wheeler received the orders to go to General Shafter's headquarters he said: "'We cannot retreat; it is unnecessary and would be disastrous: wa are twice as strong in force and. nothing? would Justify our falling back." captain; Steele savs further: 'On his return from General Shafter I asked the general nhat was the result of his visit to General Bhaiter's headquarters. He replied that th army would not fall back, and that th matter had been discussed and that he had made this Dropcsltlon: "I make the motion that we return to our commands, strengthen; our position and remain in our position, or words to that effect. He declined to ray. how the generals votd on the motion. "It is true adds General Wheeler, "that during tho day officers came to me and urged that the army oughrMo retreat, but in nil thpsA conversations I took the strong est grounds against it. I. stated lhat I had opposed retreating the nignt Deiore, wnen we had no breastworks and a very small forcp on the rldce. and that now we wera twice as strong in position and more than twire as utrnne In men." Toward evening General Wheeler received thhj message froml General Shafter: "What do you tninK or the idea, of sending a division in tne rear of the left division to clear out tho forts along the entrance to the bay, o as xo iez . U . In n4 Viai'A tllA blt1nf fVfT? IIIO I i a . J 1A1 u liu nail. . ----- Can It be done?" Before the receipt of this message Gen. Wheeler had learned of the pressure on Gen. Shafter to withdraw the army. and. believing that the proposed movement meant or would result In a withdrawal, he replied at once to Gen. Shatter: "I regret to say that I do not think infantry can take forts along the entrance of the bay. I would like to do it. nut. tne enora would be fit tended with terrible loss. We can procure artillery without limit. It seems to me It would be a gooa pian io piacf our siege guns and other artillery In positlonj and hammer at Santiago and at all the batteries that interfere with us." This rerly was written late in the afternoon. Just before General Wheeler started for General Shafter's headquarters, and about the tlmfl that he expressed himself so strongly against retreating to Captain Steele, as tho captain declares. A.n interesting confirmation of ell this explicit evidence is found in Colonel Boosevelf account Ot the campaign, in which ha says: "A very few words with General Wheeler reassured us about retiring. H had been through too much heavy fighting In the civil war to regard the present fight as very serious, and he told us rot to b under any apprehension, for he had sent word that there was no need whatever of retiring, and was sure we could stay whra we were until the chance came to advance. He was second in command, and to him more than to any other one man was due the prompt abandonment of the proposal to fall back, a proposal which if adopted would; have meant hame and disaster. Shortly, afterward General Wheeler sent us orders to Intrench." Altogether, it must appear that General Wheeler's repcrt to the adjutant general in reply to his critics certainly seems to demolish the two serious accusations thry brought against him namely. thJt he disobeyed orders and caused misfortune at Lit Guaslmas. and that he was disposed to retreat from the ridge of San Juan.

We should avoid nn excess of fats, cut down the butter ration and indulge more freely in fruits and fcod easy of digestion. One meat meal per day is sufficient during hot weather. An Ideal breakfast is Grape-Nuts, treated with a little cream (which, by the way, suppiles the necessary fat in a very digestible form), a cup of Potum Cereal Food Coffee, hot, or. if cold. It should have a little hmoa Jiiee squeezed In: then some fruit, either cooked or raw; also perhaps two slices of entire wheat bread, with a very thin ipread of butter, or, perhaps, a little Grape-Nu Butter, which Is a different urtlcle than Grape-Nuts. A breakfaft of this sort Is so perfectly adapted to the wants of the system that one go's through the hat of the day In comfort as compared with the sweaty, disagreeable condition of one improperly fed.
