GEN. MILES REPORT.
He Comments the Conduct of the Troops During the Debs War-Their Work in Oklahoma.

Ho Commends the Conduct of the Troops
 During the Debs War-Their Work in
 Oklahoma.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. F. The annual report of Maj.-Gen Nelson A. Miles, commanding the department of the Missouri, showing the conduct of af- fairs in that department, is remarka- ply short document considering the stormy period of internal strife COW cred by it. But, notwithstanding its brevity, it contains some very terse and significant statements relative to the strike. The report begins with the statement that there have been no changes of troops in the department during the year, and continues as fol lows:
 As In previous years, the troops in the Indian and Oklahoma territories have been occupied during much of their time in removing tres- passers from, the public lands in preserving order in the newly settled region and in keep ing the peace between hostile factions of the semi-civilized Indian tribes In addition to removing and expelling intruders in the Choctaw nation and from the Osage and haw Indian reservations the troops sta uoned at Forts Reno, Sill and Supply were called on for the purpose of pro- tecting United States mails, guarding rail- road bridges and supporting the United States marshals in making arrests. All of these dif- hcult duties have been performed in a manner which shows the good judgment and discretion on the part of the officers and good state of discipline and faithful service on the part of the troops, and 1t is believed that but for their prompt intervention much bloodshed would have resulted. The troops having quickly and efficiently accomplished the arduous duties as- signed to them, have been withdrawn from the field and returned to their respective stations
 The report says in detail that com panies and troops of regulars were con centrated in Chicago "by orders of the president of the United States to exc
