region was added to the union , forever secur-
log the granaries and mints of the nation

pursuits. "
Mr. Kuhns said the anniversary of the bat-
tie of Bunker huh , which assured the sue-

WAShINGTON , June ii-.Major General
Miles , general-in-chief of ( ha army , accom-
panled by Colonel Maus , Mar Davis and
Colonel Orcenleaf of his staff , arrived in
\Vahlngton today , after having directed the
departure of the first army of invasion to
Cuba.
Speaking in a general way of his observa-
( ions , General Miles said :
"having spent some time with the troops
during a trying period , I am glati to say
( bat .hey are a splendid body of men , of
which the country may well be proud. As
-to the regulars , they are the finest corps in
the world , without any exception , in physical -
cal development , efficiency , experience , die.
clpline , marksmanship , equipment and all
that goes to make up first-class soldiers.
"Of course the volunteer army is not as
well equipped. Some of . .the states sent
melt in good condition , notably Massachiu-
sette anti Now York , Others sent their
quotas without artns , eqtiipment or cloth-
ing. They were aot soldiers at all , only
employed Inca. It takes timq to make aol-
diers of this material. There must be uniforms -
forms , arnie , ammunition , equipment , camp
equipage , tentage , transportation and hos-
pitnl supplies. Then , in addition , they have
to have ordnance , artillery , siege trains ,
entrenching tools , horse equipments , engineering -
gineering appliances of all kinds , bahlooe.
appliances , etc.
Great 'l'itsIe flisiosc Of.
"After that comes the great question of
moving an army across the sea , with all the
dangers and vicissitudes of an ocean voyage ,
The work with its detati has been carried
out , I am glad to say , with a fair degree of
success , anti time command of 15,000 men under -
der General Shatter moved away with an
outburst of patriotic enthusiasm which overcame -
came the trials they had passed through , "
General Miles' attention was directed to
the reports coating from Tampa of great
confusion and delay fh preparing the expedi.
tioii and getting it otT for Cuba ,
"Yes , " said he , "there were causes contributing -
tributing to this delay. First , the post-
office servica at these points of concentra-
tioti is deficient. They have the same facili-
tiO3 , and no more , that the local towns have
when normal conditions exist. When 20,000
men are added to the population of the
amnll towns and all of the men are sending
anti receiving letters from their friends and
relativee at home , besides the large amount
of official business carried on , the local post-
0111cc facilities are entirely Inadequate.
"That has been ono of the troubles at
Tampa , Chickatnauga and the other places ,
As a result the official comniunications to
dad from the War department , on which
depend the regularity of movement of many
kinds of stores , have been seriously delayed.
"Then in gathering the munitions of war
for an army it was necessary to have the
service of a great number of trains , loaded
with stores , crowding the meager railway
lines , far beyond their usual capacity. However -
ever , all this is getting straightened out
now , .nd nearly all of it has been over-
come.
'I'r4us in Good Ilettith.
"The troops at Tampa are In good health ,
both those who went forward with General
Shatter. and those still remaining. The
sick list is less than 1 per cent , which is
an exceptionally good record. The spirit
of the inca Is of the best , and this was
shown in a mpst marked manner when the
transports started for Cuba last Tuesday.
They were all anxious to go , and there
were .u'iid scenes of enthusiasm and cheering
as the men niarched aboard and the ships
got under way. Whenever a band played
a national air every head was uncovered.
The men seemed to realize the importance
of their enterprise , as well as the patriotic
responsibility it Involved ,
"There have been many splendid acts qf
heroism , even in the short time the troops
have been employed , " continued General
Miles. "Lieutenant itowon and Lieutenant
Wilcox , in making their journey to Eastern
Cuba and to Porto Rico , gave splendid illus-
( ration of the courage , fortitude and resources -
sources of the American soldiers.
"Three such expeditions have developed
the finest kind of courage , Captain Connell
and Lieutenant Crawford , who participated
in these expeditions , were with the Cubans
during a sharp engagement with ( ho enemy.
Captain Dorat's several expeditions have
been of great importance. He started from
Key \Vest , but instead of going direct to
Cuba , he went north and east of Nassau ,
turned south , and landed on the Cuban
coast at a rort called ( lanes. It has been
held by time Cubans , and is a good harbor ,
with about twenty-one feet of water. "
"Protected by a small gunboat Captain
Doret landed a steamer's load of supplies
for the Cuban army , including .7,500 rules ,
over 1,000,000 cartrIdges and a great quan.
tity of stores. A thousand Cubans came to
111w whulo there ,
"Time special inipom Lance of this trip , however -
ever , was in opening direct communication
between General Garcia anti myself , Two
of Garcia's staff officers had returned with
Rowan end lied come to Washington to see
mile. One of these I sent to Ilanes vjtlm
time arms , with instructions
to Garcia
, say-
tog I Wanted him to move all his forces
to Santiago tIe Cuba. He had by ( lint time
been uliy equipped by Captain Dorst ,
" ( 'Ir'ilI ltt'jtl I.'s I'rohIIptI. .
"The message to Garcia was sent June 2 ,
recelveil by hint June 6 , and I received his
reply by cable from Mole St. Nicolas Jutie
0. lie had about oooo
, armed 'men ' before
lie rccelvel time
mnuflijiotis. Time supplies
sent vlli citable Garcia to
equip Over U,000
Cubans. "
General Miles was asked for ( lie cow.
mnunications betvccu him and Garcia , amid
glancing them over he gave their generaj
purport ,
"In my Cotflmunicatjotm to him I asked hint
to umovo as large a force
us possible to ( liii
vicinity of time harbor of Santiago tie Cuba ,
and to co'operato witlm
our army and nayy
on their arrival , which I hoped would be
within a few days ,
"lie was to drive In and harass any Span.
isli truopa near Santiago do Cuba , threaten-
log and attacking them 'it au points , and
preventing any reinforceincrits from reach.
lag that point , l'ending the arrival of our
troops he was to seize any positions easter
or vcst or both , which could be used to
advantage by our army.
"lie replied ( list he would regard my
wishes anti suggesileims 58 orders , and would
at once adopt muemisureb to concemmirate his
forces as indicated , All hmiB subordinates
are ordered to assist in time disenibarking of
the United States ( loops , and to Idace themselves -
selves under our orders.
"General Garcia said be believed it po'sl.
bItt for the artillery i'osltioos to be tak'sn
as I had suggested , lie sent a force at dice
to preveut aid and reiotorcczaents going to
Santiago tic Cuba. The energy of his course
is shown by the repprL' cf the last few
days , for I see that.'teneraLltabbt anti his
men have taken a stmflg . m Mtion just west
of Santiago. ,
"While there were hhavo1Ab1e delays at
Tampa , annoying to Myeeit.'nnti others , I
had the sattsfction of knowing that every.
day enabled the Cuktn * to make their march
across the country sad get posittoas of the
greatest value to our trqops When thea'
landed , "
General Miles does flot apprehend an
bug or serious delay in discmbarking the
troops on Cuban soil , 'rho transports have
a large number of small boats , The engineer
corps has large barges and a pontoon train
by which theycan put together a floating
pier , so that unless there is a rough sea , or
( ho men are conipefled to disembark in the
surf , which is not anticipatei , the disent-
barkatton is expected to ho rapid.
Asked It be expected lighting right away ,
be replied :
"Tha'a what they've gone for , "
.
Alger is ttlsflei1 ,
Secretary Alger said he was entirely antis-
fled with ( lie condition of the troops as
reported by General Miles anti wlsht'tl that
ho Imad the means to provIde every one of
the volt'miteor soidlrs a daily surf bath
such as wee enjoyed by the men at Tampa ,
General Miles is yet to have a conference -
enco with the president. in the meantime
the plans are moving seaduiy ( forward
for other expeditions , both to Porto Rico
and Cuba , .Thmere is little likelihood that a
second expedition of 5,000 men to reinforce
General Shatter at Safltiago will leave within -
in time next few days , beeim reported.
Th necessity of sendtmmgi these additional
forces is questioned bygh , , military of-
fields , anti moreover the means of transporting -
porting such a force arc dot now available.
Thmo main consideratIon just at presemit is
time equipment of aim expedition of greater
dimensions titan any heretofore discussed ,
with Porto Rico as the oijecttvo point. A
month ago the military ttuthoritics were
satisfied that a small fore would be suffi-
cleat to occupy Porte Rico , as the Spanish
force there did not exceed ,000 or 6,000 men.
Now , hmowever , the Spanish garrisons have
been so reinforced and the defenses so
strengthened that it Is bellered that a much
larger imtvadlng army wili he required.
Moreover , tIme officials vero satisfied , on
learning tod'ay that the Cadix fleet had
sailed , ( lint the ships wulti go to Porto
Rico , ratlmer than to Cuba , if they crossed
to this side. It was pointed out that this
move would be the natural stralegie one for
time Spanish commanders to take , as there
was still something loft for them to save
in Porto Rico.
It'In ] tt,1ison' ffiZCI&ahlge.
The naval officials are scmewhmat puzzled
at the failure of the effort toexchaugo Rob-
son and his crew , just 'announced from lie.-
vane. . Of course , ( lila is notpermnanent , but
simply means that the llavima authorities
as yet have not been authorized to exchange
prIsoners.

"This blockade of Cuban ports 'Is a joke.
I can run through It vhenever I want to ,

American naval offictirs are a lot of fools.
When they boarded nmy ship at Guantanamo

"Cervera is on lila flagship Colon at Santiago -
