SKATERS REPORT
Submitted to the Departmental Will
Not BE Made Public Yet.

Washington, Sept. 13.-General SHAFT
ter to-day submitted to the war depart
ment his report on the Santiago cam-
paign, covering not only the battle of
Santiago. but the entire progress of the
military invasion of Cuba. The general,
accompanied by his aide, Captain Smi-
ley. came to the department during the
morning and in person handed the re-
port to Adjutant General Corbin. He
also brought with him two Cuban
machetes to be presented to Mrs. Alger
as mementos of the campaign.
The report Is a voluminous document
with the supplements OF the subordi-
nate officers and covers about 200 type
written pages. After submitting the re-
port. General Shafter conferred some
time with Acting Secretary Meiklejohn
and General Corbin. 1t was stated af-
forwards that the report would not be
made public for the present. the desire
being to place II first in the hands of
the president and secretary and allow
sufficient time for mature consideration
of its contents. After that there is lit
tie doubt that material portions. and
perhaps the entire report. will be made
public. 1t repeats a story pretty well
known. although there is much inter-
est i'm the view which the commanding
general takes of several features of the
campaign.
