Trout the fore truck was ll > lng the American ensign , over a large Spanish flag , while long strings ol InKrnntlonnl code Hags were lloatlng from each masthead to the rails. General Miles admitted to the Associated Press reporter , who Initrv lowed him whllt the Obdnm was lying off Liberty Island , the substantial accuracy of the statement at tributed to him bj the u.insns City Star's correspondent at Ponro , Pot'o ' Hlco. "Then * are , " General Miles said to the newspaper men about him , "a { LW mlnoi Inaccuracies in the published reports , sucli as usually occur In stn.h Interviews. 1 dc not care to point out the Inaciutacles re ferred to nl this time , they nro uulmpoi- taut "It Is true that I requested that mj troops In Porto Hlco on their return homi should bo allowed to camp somewhere neai New York , preferably Brooklyn Heights Port Wadsworth or Governor's Island. : also requested of the War department tna the troons be allowed to march throngl Now York City I never Intended to paradi injaclf , as I shall go to Washington in : few days nnd would not be hero at the tltin of the contemplated parade.

'Ihe paper is vvilttcn In the torn of an inlet view with the geno-al In II the general Is represented ns rctaHlng tc nind that In a p-iblic statement made ai iho beginning of the vni , mftrrlng to thi .alk ot a rush for the fever-stricken cltj of Havana , he said "No ofllcer Is fit tt command troops who fiom any mothi whatever would needless ! } risk the life ol a single soldier , either from disease or thi bullets of the enemy. I have nt\or sacri ficed the lives of the men under ray com mand and no not propose to subject then to anunnccesbJry risk In the prcstnl cam ] algn. " I' tlu-r along In the Interview , the docu- mint Kiveii out toJn > snjs "Owing to tin fact that the season suited for campalgntuf In C.iba had ln.ui exhausted In debates and dela ) In congress , and in necessary prepa rations , Geneial Miles wag opposed to rush ing nn Ill-prepaied. undisciplined and un equipped army In a movement against tin capital of Cuba , defended by 100,000 trainee SpanMi troops , and in this position hi stood practically alone for several wcoks Havana , Matun/as , Santiago and a few other points were drawn on his mllltar } map as hotbeds of disease , destructive tt an arm } and places to bo avoided , espe cially during the sickly season Wher finally called upon to submit a plan of canv palgn , he did so and put It In writing. Ir substance , he took the atand first , thai every effort should be made to equip the Cubans and thereby enable them to harass the S-'panUh foicea Tl-e cry of 'On to Ha < vana" should be encouraged , but when tin transports , loaded with tioops. were ou of sight of land the } should sail as straight as steam power covld bear them to tin gate of the Antilles and the Key of thi whole position Porto Hlco then , ha\lu { seized and occupied that Island , n move' ment to Cuba was to follow by means of : strong cavalr } force , which was to bo or ganlzed and equipped by August or Sep' tembei Ho contemplated that vUth 20,00 ( cavalry thrown to the center of Cuba , cut ting the Spanish forces In two and movluf west to Havana by the t'-ne the rainy sea son was over nnd it would bo possible ti maneuver an army , we could move agalns I that city a well organized , well equlppei I and vvell disciplined army nnd completi the capture of the Spanish forces What Miles \Vllllloil. The enclosureof Ccrvern's fleet in the hr.rbor of Santiago changed the condition' nnd nnde It lit tn-siry to move n milltnr } force to tlat point. General Miles , vvhlit al Tampi organizing the expedition , felt thi 'mportanct- tha enterprise BO greatly thai Mo reautsted permission to accompany thai expodlt'ou ' 01 to Immediate ! } organize nn < other to Join It This permission was no granted ss far aa necompanln ! ; that t > X' pcdltlon was concerned , but authority wni granted to tqulp a second "for movement nnd opeu.uoa against tbo enemy in Cubt and Poito Illco " However , before this expedition wai equipped , calls were made foi additions forces to go to Santiago , and they were n once forwrrded On the 3d day of Jul ; General Shatter telegraphed that his low had been grcatl } underestimated , that hi met with stiongcr resistance than he lui anticipated und that he was serious ! } con siderlng the ndvUabilit } of falling back ti a position five miles to the rear and tha he had been unable to be up during the uea I of i ho tin ) for four da > s.

( 'iiniiiilKii | nt .SnnUimo. These were the circumstances undci which General Miles left Wnahlngton , ar riving nt Santiago July 11 , not aa a private Individual , nor ns a vlslloi. Any pretense - tense that ho went there disrobed of hi ! authority or official capacity Is too childish to be considered by sensible men. Troir the moment ho arrived at Santiago he was responsible for what might occur. He nr- rived there with the Ynle , Columbia nnd Rita , loaded with Infantry and three shlpt loaded with artillery , besides those al ready disembarked. He designed to dis embark the troops and artillery named or the west aide of Santiago , as was under stood before leav Ing Washington , nnd be fore he went ashore ho made the neceasarj arrangements according ! } . He then pro' ceoded to the front and after consultlnf with Geneial Shafter a note was sent to the Spanish commander by General Shatter s.i } Ing that the commanding general of thi United States nrmy had nrrhcd In his cami with strong reinforcements and would meci him between the Hues at any hour agree' able to him The reply of the Spnnlsl commander was that ho would meet hln nt 12 o'clock next morning. The meeting was held and after sonn conversation between General Shatter am General Toral , General Miles frankfy atV milled to the Spanish general that ho hai left Washington six dns before and tha It was then the determination of the goV' ernmcnt that this portion of the Spanlsl army must be captured or dwtrocil. Hi also Informed the Spanish general that hli reinforcements had arrived with him , tha some had already disembarked and the re malnder would bo disembarked on the wcs side of the harbor nnd that It was uselesi for him to contend against the Inevitable These transports could also be plainly seei by the Spanish from Morro castle and othe ; I-olnte General Toral replied that so Tonj as ho had rations and ammunition he hai to fight In order to maintain the honor o the Spanish army. In response to that hi was Informed that he had already main talned the honor arid that further effort : would bo useless nnd would result In i wanton sacrifice of human lite. He thci said that he was waiting to hear from hli government and WHS Informed by Genera Miles that he had already taken much tlnn for that purpose nnd would be given unti davlight of the following night to submi his final answer. He begged for longei time nnd earnestly requested until 1 ! o'clock next day. This was finally ngreet to by General Miles , the meeting dissolve ! and the officers separated. Tc'leurniu from Alicer. On returning from this conference n ills patch was received by General Miles fron Washington as follows. WASHINGTON , July 13. Major Genera Miles You ma } accept surrender by giant Ing pirole to officeia nnd men , the officer : ictalnlng their side arms , the officers nm men after paiole to be permitted to icttiri to Spain , the United States assisting. If no accepted , then assault , unless In } our judg ment nn assault would fall. Consult wit ! I SampFon nnd pursue such course ns to tin I assault n } ou jointly agree upon. Mntte should be settled promptly H. A. ALOIS ! ! . Secretary of War. This , the statement sas , does not look a ; If General Miles was there ns alsltoi He was charged with the responsibility o oulering an assault upon the entrenchment ! and fortifications of nn aimy which , If sue * ccssful , would huvo codt at least 5,000 lives 01 with withholding the assault if in hi : judgment such assault would fail. No gieater discretion was over given ti any general commanding nn army and wha Is more , as will bo observed , he was author' led to accept the surrender , which In tin Interest of hit subordinates ho generouslj declined to do nnd went away leaving al the honor to hla next la rank , Genera Shatter. On the morning succeeding the first Inter \lcvv n letter was received from Genera Toral. of which the following Is a lltera translation. 'J < irnl HepHeiH to UciiiiiiulN.
