Miles and his staff, arrived here to-day. Mrs. Miles, son and daughter were also on board the transport, which sailed from Ponce on September 1. The surgeon in charge reported all well and no sick- ness or deaths during the voyage. The following statement, emanating from General Miles, was given to the reporters on board of the Obdam. It is in the form of a letter in which General Miles is mentioned in the third person: While at Porto Rico and during the voyage returning on the Obdam, on which steamer were General Miles and staff and iwo battalions of the Second egiment of Wisconsin Volunteers, I learned the foi- lowing facts concerning the Cuban and Porto Rican expeditions. In the first that the war has closed, ng conducteéd largely as General Miles stated publicly at the beginning of the war that it would be. The statement y made and a general order him as commander of the American army, in which the plan he has striven to pursue was foreshadowed, namely, seeking to accomplish results with the least possible ioss of life. In an interview in_the latter part of May he gaid: "The United States Government is too strong, too great and too powerful to commit any foolish act in connection with the proposed Invasion of Cuba.” Referring to the proposed rush to the ever-stricken city of Havana he said: “No officer is fit to command troops who, from any motive whatever, would need- lessly risk the life of ingle soldier either from d ase or the pullets of the enemy. 1 have n sacrificed the lives of men under my command do sary risks in the presént campiigh.” In the order issued to the army at an early day he directed that ‘“every officer of whatever grade will 50 far as may be n his power guard and preserve the heaith and welfare of those under his charge. He must labor diligently and zealously to perfect himself and his sub- ordinates in military drill, instruction and discipline, and above ail he must con- stantly endeavor by precept and example 10 maintain the highest character, to fos- ter and stimulate that true soldierly spirit and patriotic devotion to duty which must characterize an effective army.” The principles thus enunciated have been zealously observed from the first. Owing to the fact that the campaigning in Cuba had been’e in debates and d in Congress and in necessary preparations, General Miles was opposed tb rushing an ill prepared, undisciplined*and unequipped army in a movement against the «'ngual of Cuba, defended by 100,000 traified Spariish troops. and in this position he stood practically alone. % ‘When finally called upon to submit a plan of campaign, he did so and put it in writing. In sub: nce he took the stand first, that every effort should be made to equip the Cubans and thereby enable them to harass the Spanish forces. The cry of “on to Havana"” should be encour- aged, but when the transports, loaded with’ troops, were out of sight of land they should sail as straignt as steam power could bear them to the gate of the Antilles and_the key of the whole posi- tlon—Porto Rico. Then, having seized and occupied that island, a movement to Cuba was to follow by means of a strong cavalry force, which was to be or- ganized ana equipped by August or Sep- tember. He contemplated that 20,000 cav- alrymen thrown to the center of Cuba, cutting the Spanish forces in two and moving west to Havana, by the time the mlni{ season was over and it would be possible to maneuver an army we could move against that city a well organized, well equipped and well diselplined arm and complete the capture of the Spanis) forces. The inclosure of Cervera's fleet in the harbor of Samtiago changed ‘the condi- tions and made it necessary to move a military force to that point. General Miles, while at Tampa organizing the ex- pedition, felt the importance of the enter- prise so greatly that he requested permis- sion to accompany that expedition or to join another to join it. This permission ‘was not granted, so far as accompanying that expedition was concerned, but au- thority was granted to equip a second “for movement and operation against the enemy In Cuba and Porto Rico.” How- ever, before this expedition was equipped, calls were made for additional forces, to FU to Snnlhfi;u and they were immedlate- y forwarded. The statement then leads up to Miles’ trip to Cuba and the circumstances of the gurrender of Santiago. After Miles’ conference with Toral the commanding general of the American army received from Washington the following dis- patch: WASHINGTON, w. C,, Ju . —] Goneral Miles: You mas “Aotept Surbns der by granting parole to officers and men, the officers retaining their side arms; the officers and men after parole to be permitted to return to Spain, the United States assisting. If not accepted, then assault, unless in your judgment an assault would fail. Consult with Samp- son and pursue such' course as to the assault a8 you jointly agree upon. Mat- ter should be settl é’!l’(\mpfl}'. R. A. ALGER, Secretary of War. This, the statement says, does not look as if General Miles was there as a visitor. He was charged with the re- sponsibility 6f ordering an assault upon the intrenchments and fortifications of an army which if successful would have cost at least 5000 lives, or of withhold- ing the assault if in his judgment such assault would fail. No greater discre- tion was ever given to any general commanding an army, and what is more, as will be observed, he was au- thorized to accept the surrender, which in the interest of his subordinates he genterously declined to 'do and went away, leaving all the honor to his next in rank, General Shafter. On the'morn- ing succeeding the first interview a let- ter was received from General Toral, of which the following is a literal trans- lation: - e SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 14, 1898, General in Chief of the American forces — Honored Sir: His Excellency the neral in chief of the nrmx of the island of Cuba telefrnphe from !{nvua yesterday at . m. the- following : ~ Believing . the busi- ness of such importance as the capitula- decided uilon_ by the Government of his Majesty, 1 give you notice that I have sent the conditions of your telegram ask- ing an immediate answer and enabling you also to show this to the general of the American army to see if he will agree to awalt the answer of the Government, which cannot be as soon as the time upon which he has decided, as communica- tion by way of Bermuda is more slow than by Key West. In the meanwhile your honor and the general of the army me agree upon capitulation upon the basis of repatriation, returning to Spain.” I have the honor to transmit this to you that Incase you may consider the fore- going satisfactory, that he may desig- nate persons in representation of himself who, with those in my name, may agree to clauses of the capitulation upon the basis of returning to Spain, accepted al- ready in the beginning by the general- in-chief of this er{, Awaiting a reply, I am very respectfully your servant, JOSE TORAL. Next the statement tells of Miles' landing at an unexpected point on Porto Rico and concludes: General Miles remained in Porto Rico as long as he deemed his presence neces- sary for cu.rr{lng out the wishes of the President, and now returns to the United States, bringing with him nearly 5000 men who are no longer required, there being some 12,000 remaining, an army sufficient for all purposes. He returns at once to Washington, where he believes he can be most useful, as he considers the most important: need of the hour to be the reduction ‘of war expenses and the re- turn of a large portion of those in the military service as soon as possible to their former occupations, where most needed. Tizvgare SAN QUENTIN PRISON’S LATEST SCANDAL Money Extracted From a Registered Letter Sent to a Penitentiary Inmate. SAN QUENTIN, Sept. 7.—About two weeks ago Bayard Saville, the forger, who was sentenced to fourteen years in prison for swindling the widow “Bell,” missed $50 in currency sent to him in a registered letter from the Hast. When the letter arrived at the San Quentin postoffice the prisoner was notified, as registered let- ters cannot be taken from the office with- out the convict's permission. Turnkey John C. Jamieson, who opens and inspects all the correspondence, took the letter from the postoflice by Saviile's authorization. When Saville recelved the letter and missed the currency the Post- office Department was' notified. W. s, Robertson, the San Francisco inspector, was sent to investigate. He recelved & statement from the Bank of Wilming- ton, Del., that the currency was inclosed in the letter. After an investigation last- ing two weeks one of the Prison Directors stated that Jamieson probably would have to make good the sum missing.. Now Warden Hale has a new theory. He says Jamieson's well-known reputa- tion for honesty renders it absurd for the turnkey to be suspected. He believes that the money was taken by Greenwald, the Emerald ring smuggler,” who recéntly was released from the prison. Jamieson now asserts, alsd, that Greenwald was a trusty in his office and opened all the Hereafter Field Officers Are to Be Held Directly Responsible for the Health and Welfare of Their Men. WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—Secretary Alger is now putting his affairs into shape to admit of his absence from Washington on a tour of inspection of the army camps throughout the coun- try. He will leave to-morrow evening, going first to Camp Meade, Pa., and thence to Detroit. Now that the ac- tive war operations have closed, the Secretary feels free to express certain views entertained by the President and himself respecting the plans for the treatment of the soldiers and touching the persons upon whom responsibill- ties should be placed for some of the matters of complaint. In this connec- tion he says: “The regiments that have been of- dered mustered out will be mustered out. The regiments that have been designated by the President to re- main in the service will have to re- main. As soon as we have mustered out 100,000, more or less, we shall reor- ganize the army—every brigade, divi- sion and corps, and put them into com- fortable camps until such of them as are needed are withdrawn for service in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip- pines. ~ “In these camps, with the experience of the past to guide us, sanitary con- ditions- will be strictly enforced. The men composing the army will be treated as soldiers. They will be shown every possible consideration and their health will be preserved. The officers commanding regiments and companies will be held strictly accountable for the sanitary conditions of the camps. They are the ones who should be held re- sponsible. - During the war many of thege officers disregarded the specific instructions that had been given look- ing to the proper care of the men. NoWw it is time for them to take this work upon themselves and with the knowl- edge that they are to remain in service they will be expected to devote their best energies to the work. Where men are incompetent to discharge these du- ties they must give way to competent men, for again I wish to make it clear that these company and regimental of- ficers are to be held to account for the welfare of their men. “The great complaint of the soldiers 1s. homesickness, -and a great .deal of this has been caused by the Inconsider- ate publications in the sensational newspapers. Some of it is also charge- able to the fact that the men entergd- the army with the expectation tHat their services would be very short. Every experlenced officer knows that & great many died of homesickness. Following thé depression which ensues upon homesickness come other mala- dies, to which the homesick soldler falls an easy victim, and it is impos- sible to check their course. “Now, to my mind, the American people should try to brace these men up, to encourage them and cause them to remember that they are soldlers and are expected to meet a soldier’s duties, The people of this country should not be given the impression that they have sent into the army a lot of boys uniit to withstand the unavoidable vicissi« tudes of camp life. Some of the com- plaints that have been published are calculated to make the American army appear In a poor light to the eyes of the American people and also to those of the nations of the world.” The Secretary gave assurance of his burpose to carry out strictly the deci- ston he had announced to hold fleld of- ficers responsible for the condition of their men in the case of Private Hugh Parrott, who was reported to have per- ished in his tent at Montauk, lacking medical attendance. This was the case to which Representative Grosvenor had directed the attention of the War De- partment. The Secretary several days ago called upon the commanding officer at Camp Wikoff for a report upon the subject, and to-day he sent a peremp- tory order to General Shafter to create a court of inquiry to investigate the case, or, if the facts warranted it, to shorten the proceedings by ordering a court-martial at once for the officer aesponslble for Parrott’s lack of atten- on.

Charles Maguire, a young man who attends bar at the hotel, went to his room on the third floor at 10:30 o'clock.

The ceremony was per- formed later in the day and this morn- ing Albrecht and his bride took a drive and spent the day at Mark West Springs. Upon their return to the home of the bride’s parents this afternoon Albrecht ‘was arrested on a charge of having ob- tained money on false pretenses in this city and issuing a fraudulent check. A few days ago, it is alleged, Albrecht went to Brooks & Loomis, a dry goods firm in this city, and arranged for the purchase of dress goods for his in- tended, In payment he gave the firm a check upon the First National Bank of San Francisco, which was accepted and the goods dellvered. To-day the suspicions of the firm were aroused by ingulfln from a local dressmaker who had not been pald for ‘work she had done. The San Francisco bank was communicated with by tele- graph' and replied that no name such as that of Albrecht was on the books. The arrest followed. Albrecht when seen in his cell to- night by a Call representative claimed the whole affair was an unfortunate mistake and that he would be able to explain everything in the morning when he could communicate with San Francisco by telephone. He said he could not understand why the check had been returned as he had a sufficient sum in the First National Bank to meet tl\: check and considerably more be- sides.

ST; fETIIERSBURG. Sept. 7.—The No- vosti, in a long article, declares that th 3rtnclpal subject to be considered by th: isarmament congress must be the ques- tion of Alsace-Lorraine, It anticipates that the result of a consideration of this will be either the neutralization or the in- dependence of Alsace-Lorraine, which will now be possible without wounding the amour propre of elther nation. . Both Germany and France, says the Novosti, could make this self-sacrifice to attain the Czar's worthy object and thus restore friendship and relieve the world of the burden of armed peace. HARNESS HORSES IN FAST CONTESTS Exciting Sport at the State Fair. TRACK RECORD THREATENED MUCH BETTER CIRCLES THE COURSE IN 2:09 1-2. Neretta Has a Walkover for the Three-Year-Old Stake—Turfman Hughes Found Alive, but Not Well, in His Room. « Bpectal Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, Sept. 7.—The light harness racers held the track down this afternoon, and if there were a few days of just such sport the gallopers would soon somewhat lose their grip upon the race-going portion of the public. Every race and every heat was inter- esting, and when, in the last event, Much Better, Rex Alto and Beachwood came down the home stretch in close order, with the drivers beating a merry but painful tattoo upon the anatomies of the contestants, cheers went up that could be heard in the far distant hills. And when F. W. took the second heat in such style as to install him a warm favorite before the third heat there was a mighty plunge on the son of Dorsey’s Nephew. But “Farmer’ Bunch perhaps ¢ould drive trotter or pacer better than he could sow wheat or kill potato bugs— in fact, much better, and we noted the fact that he could have been much closer to the other San Jose man’s horse in the second heat had Bunch willed it. But perhaps it was better, much better, to save the favorite a trifle for the third heat, and may be they will change the nickname of the driver from “Farmer” to “General.” Mamie Riley won-the first race, a mile dagh for 2:25 trotters, very clever- ly by two lengths after getting away poorly, while the favorite, Bonsaline, wound up last. The time was 2:16%. Dr. J, at 2 to 1 in the betting, led from “go” to wind-up in the second event, also a mile dash, but for 2:20 trotters. Shelby finished a handy second and Silver Queen, the longest shot in the racé, third—this after showing a lot of speed. Lady Margaret, a wee brown mare from Los Angeles, made every post a winning one in the third race, for 2:30 pacers, finishing first by three lengths. zfilrls ‘W was second and Silas Simmons Captain Hackett and Harry J met with an accident in this race, the for- mer’'s sulky breaking and spilling Driver Bunch. Then came the 2:12 pacing race spo- ken of heretofore. In the first heat, 80 closely contested, the time was 2:09%, just a quarter of a second be- hind the track record. In the second it was 2:11 and in the third 2:13%. Neretta jogged over alone for the three-year-old stake, and a good day's | sport was at an end. The judges were: A, B.
