THEODORE ROOSEVELT. W hite House. Washington, March ffl. iJ2. Fronoaal of Miles. Headquarters of the Army, Washington, Feb. 17, IWi. The Honorable, the Secretary of War: Blr 1 have the honor to Invite attention to a subject that I have had un der consideration for several months and to requeat that this letter be laid be(or the president. It is now three years since the opening Of hostilities between the United Slates forces anil those in the Philippines, and this warfare has been conducted with marked severity. More than YAK') United Stales troops have been at different times sent or are now under orders to go to the Philippines, and more than 4Vu still re main on duty there, which service, with the asslstsnce of the naval forces. Involves an enormous expenditure of public money as well as the loss of many valuable live". During the past century thousands of Indians have been called to the capital for consultation and council, and I have, under authority, sent to Washington many red-handed representatives ot different tribes of Indians, the result of which has been a reconciliation, a restoration of con fidence, the prevmtlon of war, and the es tablishment and continuance of pence within the states and territories. Our friendly relations with the people of Cuba and Porto Rico have boen largely promoted by consultation with the repre sentatives of thowe Islands here In Wash ington, both before hostilities began, dur ing the 8panlsh war, and since; and I have never found any people, whether savage, eml-civllised or civilized, who were not benefited by cr .id Id. frank and honest con sultation and council. I'ae I'orto Rlcans. In view of the above considerations, 1 make tbe request that I be authorized to proceed to the Philippine islands, taking with me ten men whom I may select irom Cuba anJ Porto lileo, whose assistance has been found ueiu. in promoting friendly relations between the peop.e oi those islanus and the United States, and who could properly explain to the Fili pinos the benetlis their people have derived through friendly relations with this coun try, and while there to give such direc tions as 1 may deem advisable and Judicious lor the best disposition of the United States military forces, to the end that they may occupy the most healthful and strategic positions, with due regard to economy, and be afforded the greatest com fort and benefit: also to take such meas ures as will tend to restore, as tar as pos sible, confidence to the people of those islands and demonstrate tnat the purpose of our government Is prompted by the highest sense of Justice: and that on re turning 1 be authorized to bring to the capital such number of representative Flll- flnos as I may think advisable. In order hat they may see and know the advan tage ot our civilization and realize the disposition of our government toward them, at the same time affording an op iHirtunlty for a full consultation, whereby Intelligent and definite action may be taken concerning their future destiny. It is confidently believed that such measures could then be taken as would be satisfac tory and beneficial to the 10,000000 of in- PURIFY THE BLOOD If you would have health and energy la hot weather you should see to It la the early Spring that your blood Is pur and vital orgaa strong and active.

By this means we would be fully In formed of t be condition and wants of th people of tho Inlands, snd they, on th other hand, would become fuily apprised of the purpose and final disposition of our government toward them. This need not reflect in the slightest degree upon the services of the military nor Interfere with the civil governmenis that have been or may be esiabllHlied. Should this request be approved, I am confident It would result In a better con dition of our mllltsry force In that divi sion, In the cessation of hostilities within a reasonsble time, thereby permuting tne return of a large number ot our troops from those remote and unhealthful stations, and, I should hope, In an amicable adjustment of affairs In those Islands which would be satisfactory to the Inhabitants thereof as well as to tne peopi or me L. Very respectfully, NELSON A. MILES. Lieutenant Oeneral, Commanding United Elates Army. Disapproved by Root. WAR DEPARTMENT, Washington, March 6, 19"S. Respectfully forwarded to the president, disapproved. The conduct of military affair In tha Philippines by General Chaffee and his predecessor and the conduct of civil affairs by Governor Taft and his associ ates in tne Philippines ha been able and successful. Much more rapid progress ha been made toward the complete acceptance of American sovereignty, the restoration of peace and the establishment of civil gov ernment than w had right to antici pate when the treaty of Paris was ratified, The plan proposed In the within paper In volves practically superseding the officers mentioned In the control which they now exercise. Not only I this without Justifi cation in their conduct, but 1 should re gard It as a most unfortunate Interference with the present satisfactory progress. There have been exceedingly full, extended and long continued consultation and coun sel between the government of the United States th leaders of opinion among the Insurrectionary Filipinos, resulting In a full understanding and most friendly feel ing between by far the greater part of the Filipino people and ourselves, and a par ticipation by many members of the Aguln aldo government In the civil government under American sovereignty. I append hereto a list of twenty-three officers of the Insurrectionary government who now hold positions of trust under our government. Agulnaldo himself has taken the position of earnestly urging his coun trymen to accept our sovereignty, and most of them have already followed his advice. It Is not perceived that any additional benefit would be obtained by taking dele gations of Cubans and Porto Rlcans to the Philippines, or by bringing delegations from the Philippines, to the United States in advance of a choice of official delegates provided for by the bill now pending In congress. On tne other hand, It would be very difficult to keep such a proceeding free from spectacular and sensational features, which would be Injurious. It 1 not the fact that the warrare In the Philippines has been conducted with marked severity; on the contrary, the war fare haa been conducted with marked hu manity and magnanimity on tha part of the United States army. ELIHU ROOT, Secretary of War. Conclusions of the secretary of war ar hereby approved. ' THEODORE ROOSEVELT, White House, March 6. 1902. Mile Make Rejoinder. Respectfully submitted to th secretary of war: , , In accordance with the verbal message received from Colonel Carter through Mr. Brandt, a clerk In the adjutant general' office, I have the honor to return my let ter of February. 12. with indorsement thereon. In connection with my letter and the In dorsements thereon I desire to say that I reirret that the honorable secretary should hiva heen under the Impression that a proposition that was prompted In the In terest of humanity would In any way b regarded as "spectacular and sensational. t hnnlH not unilolna.tR any such result. I would call attention to the last page of my letter, in which 1 distinctly saia: "Thi. need not reflect In the slightest de gree upon the services if t.h military, nor interfere wun me civil guvrinniru mh have been or may be estaDtisneu. fhinir it win no uimuiea mat no bu:ii objection was ever raised by any or th governors of states or territories or de- fartment commanders when the numerous ndlan delegations left their territory to com to Washington. Example of Cubans. I would also call attention to the fact that last winter, while on an official Visit to Cuba, I was appealed to by members of the constitutional convention, who said they wished to communicate airecuy wun the president, and I advised them to mak such a request. On returning to Washing ton I reported the fact to presiaent mc vini onri nrored that he erant their re' quest should It be made. He did so, and h delegation came to Washington. Th result was most gratifying, not only to our government authorities, out to tne people nf Cnhn as well. All this was done with out the slightest reflection upon Major General Wood or objection on hi part, a far as I know. PeferHne to that nart of my communica tion w M.-h states that the warfare In the Philippine Islands had been conducted with marked severity, and to th remarks of the honorable secretary on mat point, it Is proper to say that I had In mind such Information as conveyed In the letter of Governor William H. Taft, addressed to the honorable secretary, dated Washing ton, February 7, 1902, a well as other com municatlona that have been referred to these quarter or received by me. . Trip to Philippines. Concerning my Kolua to the Philippine. It was my purpose nearly a year ago to do so, and this was with the knowledge of the secretary of war and the approval of the late President McKlnley, but the Jour ney waa postponed In consequence of th Increase in. and reorganization of, th army. The suggestion contained in my tetter, that In going to the Philippine Islands, 1 take certain native of Cuba and Porto Hlco and on returning bring back certain of (hose of the Philippine Islands, was prompted by mv belief that th results would be satisfactory to all concerned. Since this measure, as suggested, 1 not deemed advisable, I do not ask for lt further consideration, and on making my delayed visit to the Phllipplnea; which 1 hop to do in th near future. I shall de vote my attention to the condition and re quirement of th troop In that division, the same as I have In respect to other por tions of the army. NELSON A. MILES. Lieutenant General Commanding UnlUd state Army. These communication are supplemented by a further review of the cas by Secre tary Root and a re-endorsement by th president of Root's Official position. In his review Secretary Root refer to th tact that Oeneral Miles bad asked permission to take 15.000 troop from th Philippines to China during th Boxer uprising and had been officially denied. Ha state that Miles' original application to McKlnley was accompanied by th proposal to obtain for tha lieutenant general supreme com mand of th allied force In China and that under these circumstance President Mc Klnley declined to authorize tbe sending of Mile either to th Philippine or to China. GUNNERS IN FOR BIG EVENT WILL ARBITRATE TAX CASE Japan Agreee to Deliberate lettle- snent of Hatter of Exempting Foreigners. WASHINGTON. March 29. Th Japaness government ha agreed to submit to ar bitration th question raised by th power a to th exemption of foreign citizen liv ing In Japan from taxation on their bouses. Th United State government I a party to this arbitration directly, but th Jap anese government has given it assurance that American citizens living in Japan aball have the benefit of any decision reached by the arbitration, while for the United flutes' part this government ha consented to b bound by that decision. Many Nebraska Marksmen Go to Grand Amerioan Handicap. ATTENDANCE WILL BE UNPRECEDENTED Otvlag to La rare Nasaber of Entries Revision of Prla Schedule I Asked for by Many Participant. At t:20 this morning a crowd of Jovial Nebraska gunner will leave Omaha in a special car attached to a Burlington train and bound for Kansas City. Tbey ar going down to panic I pat In th tenth annual Grand American Handicap eboot, and they will compete ther as a portion ot a list of entries which I twlc as large a any ever closed on a similar affair. To date 43 men are booked to begin In the handi cap, and have paid their good money for that purpose. There still remains all of today, Monday and Tuesday, and till the last entry has hot at hi first bird on Wednesday, for more post entries to come, and the list may be swelled to 600. Last year It wa only 222, and but 200 of these contested. This wonderful attendance Insures the euccest of the handicap, and gives to tbe west the honor of bringing about a gun ning carnival twice a great a the utmost efforts of New York sportsmen have been able to produce In nine years' endeavor. The fact that there are 473 entries In the handicap means easily an attendance of 650, for there are many shooters who will enjoy entering In the many other shorter handicap and sweepstakes and divers races who will not go In for the big affair. Protest Over Parse. But the unprecedented entry list has had another effect as Well. It haa brought out a big roar from the shooters regarding tbe purse, which Is ao far $1,500, to be divided among the three high guns. Then comes a rule which say that should there be more than 260 entries, all money In excess ot $6,600, which Is 260 entries at $25 each, shall be divided into sixty-three equal parts and added to the different amount due the sixty-three high guns. When this provision wa made an entry list a large a 450 waa never given a thought. Sine it I an actual fact, a ma jority of th men who have been on the scene the last few day think It advisable to effect a different arrangement for di vision, owing to the emergency which the surplus entries have created. A petition ha been drawn up by B. 8. Rice of Chicago, asking those In charge to Increase the prize list to 150 men. The plan proposed Is to double the amount paid the first three guns, making it $3,000, and then divide It among the elx high guns, and grade the remaining prise. Th unani mous consent of all competitor 1 neces sary to this change, for any one shooter ha a right to block It on the ground that he entered under the understanding that the other system of division wa to main tain. It le thought that this common consent cut be secured, however. Manager Lack Authority. Manager Sbaner rff tbe shoot waa asked to make these change last Friday, but he said H was a matter In which he had no authority to take any action, since any such alteration of rules would require con sideration by the officials of the Interstate association and the consent of the entries. The matter will therefore be submitted to th officials when they reach Kansas City tomorrow. Nebraska Is one ot the six state having the hlgbst number of entries in the han dicap. Missouri leads tha list with 90, while Illinois has 75. Iowa 64, Kansas 84, Ohio 28 and Nebraska 26. Most of these 26 are In the crowd which Is going down today. The members of the Nebraska squad, are highly elated at the prospect of par-' tlclpatlng in the biggest shoot ever held In America, and they are full of confidence. A acor of the best known of them went over to the ground across the river yes terday afternoon and limbered up on a few live birds. They came back jubilant at their form. These Go Today.
