General Miles admitted to the Associated

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.

Gencnl Miles said that he did .lot de'Irc

opinion thcio had been too much jriUchm

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

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'

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

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

ordered by the president to operate against

These reinforcements wore pushed rnpldly
forwnrd and come of them arrived In ad
vance of the commanding general nnd were
put In priMMon in the trenches around San
tiago Under \crbal Instructions of the
president General Miles wan directed to go
wherever ho deemed his presence wns re
quired and tlmt he should gl\e such direc

army and the government.

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

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

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

On the morning succeeding the first Inter
\lcvv n letter was received from Genera

At the meeting on the following day Oen
ernl Toral atated that ho was prepared t <
surrender with the approval of the captnli
general of Cuba but It would require i
little time to have hla acts aBlrmed by hli
home government , that In the meantime hi
TV as prepared to appoint commissioners ti
arrange the clauses ot capitulation No
only this , he offered to surrender the balanci
of his command , which had not been undei
fire during the campaign. The remarkabli
offer was on hla motion nnd was In tin
nature of a surprise to the American gen1
erals present. However , nt the conferenci
of the day previous. General Miles had re <
minded him that ho had been tendered th <
iroat liberal terms ever offered to an enemy
that his fleet was de reed and that the ]
r.cro 3,000 mlle away from home Toral'i
offer could bo accounted for In one of tw (
ways either that the troops were wanted a
home to meet a threatened revolution o ;
that they wanted to get home and regardci
this ns the on ! } means nf doing so at thi
expense of the United States Whethci
Dlairo and the rest of the Spanish forcei
m Cuba would have Biirrendered on thi
same terms la not now and pernaps ma ;

Chant- Porto Itleun 1'lnnn ,
The place of landing the Porto Hlcai
expedition has been so thoroughly advcrtlsei
In communications sent o r the Krencl

Country and telegraphed to Madrid am
from there to San Juan that not having re
cclved the necessary appliances with vvhlcl

leaving the Windward passage lo chang
j his course and land on the south Bide o
Pqrto Hlco. where the Spaniards were th
least prepared and the least expecting t
receive him and where he knew that th
disembarkation of the troops and supplle
could be ino i easily effected , i'roni th
time ot that disembarkation , during ih
following nineteen Java of tbo campaign
bo kept the Spaniards guessing what tb
| next move would be When they withdrew
along the line of the great military roa

the west mil of the Island , capturing the
prlnclp.il cltlcd nnd towns , while nnoUier
had pnftsnl over the mountain * over the
trail which the Spaniards had supposed Ini-
passable ) nnd therefore had not
fortified or guarded It nnd the
first they Knew of the inarch of the- Amer
ican nrmy was the appearance of a strong
brigade vvllhlu twentv miles of the north

piopltlnted A people who have endured
the severity of Spanish uile for four cen

of the country over which our ling t.ow
lloata has been ndded nml will bo of lasting
\nluo to our nation , politically , commer
cially nnd from a military or strategic point
of % lcw. Possession of that Inland has nlsc
rendered nny further resistance of the

eral Miles firmly believes that by fair anil
just treatment the people of Cuba fan be
ns easily contiollcd cither ns ti friendly nlly
nnd neighbor or to become n pait of out

General Miles remained In Potto Illco ns
long as he deemed his presence i.ecessnt }
for earning out the wishes of the pri-i lent
and now returns to the' United Stales ,
bringing with him nearly u.OO ) men who arc
no longer lequlred , there being some IJ.OOl
still remaining , amply sufficient for nil put-
poses. He returns at once to Washington
whcro ho believes he can bc > most useful

the alher republicans has been removed
This afternoon the Blood faction made np
plication before Judge Harris of the ilia
trlct court for a writ of mandamus com
pelllng Sheriff Hoynton to turn over tin
oper.i house to them. Tonight citizens o
Colorado Springs took the matter In ham
nnd the result was a compromise by whlcl
both sides relinquish all claims to the ills
puled room. My this agree ment Judgi
Harris issued nn order to Sheriff Hoiitoi
to let neither faction have possession of tin
place. The Dread faction have secured tin

It Is Impossible to learn anything abou
