AN ALLEGED INTERVIEW
With Gen. Miles Has Caused Considerable Irritation Among Army Officials.
REFLECTED ON GENERAL CORBIN
Apparently the Outcropping of Differ ences Between the Two Which It Appears Are Impossible
 to Conceal.

Washington, August 24-(Special.) .)-The publication of an interview credited to General Miles concerning the Santiago campaign in which considerable irritation is shown, has excited great deal of com ment, especially in the war department.
 General Corbin, on whom the interview bears particularly hard, General Miles be- ing quoted as saying that Corbin sent a se- cret dispatch to General Shafter, assuring him that the presence of Miles would make no difference to his command, etc., would not discuss the matter publicly
 There is a great deal of feeling in the department and there is more or less of a disposition to a division of sentiment as to the merits of the threatened contro- versy. No one is authorized to say whether the interview is accurate or whether indeed General Miles has authorized any publica- tion of his views, but it is much in line with the talk that has been going on pri- vately here for some time, and is apparent lyly the outcropping of differences which
 
 president is considering the adyisability of having thorough investigation of the con- duct of the war early enough to enable the department to respond promptly to any in- quiry by congress on the subject as soon as that body assemblies.
 Allegations and suggestions such as those made in the alleged Miles interview, togeth- CT with publications of an insnuating char acter without any claim of authority and the immense amount of talk which is being indulged in privately, strengthens the con- viction of the department that the best pos- sible thing would be to have a thorough investigation of the conduct of the war The idea is not to make this Investigation in the form of a courtmartial or court of inquiry based on charges against any one, but to conduct it with reference to historic accuracy for the purpose of report, so as to bring out all the facts and let the re-. sponsibility for the faults wherever there are any, fall where it will. It is regarded now as almost certain that such an inves- tigation will be had.

Rumor of Battle

Madrid, Aug. A.-4:3o p. m.-The govern ment has received dispatch from General Rios, governor of the Vizcaya islands, and the successor of Jaudenz in the governor genralship of the Philippines, saying that there was bloody fighting between the Spanish and the insurgents, with an es- timated loss to the latter of 600 men. The Spanish losses were "unimportant." The dispatch adds that number of insurgent leaders were captured and shot.
 General Rios reports that he has organ ized six battalions of natives and Spaniards for the purpose of resisting a threatened invasion of insurgents from the island of Luzon, and also small squadron to watch the coasts and rivers of Mindanac islands and the Vizcaya. The government is highly satisfied with the services of Gen. eral Rios.

. ,CARCITY OF PROVISIONS

New York, August 2.-The following re- port from General Garcia was received at the Cuban juta today. The report was addressed to President T. Estrada Palma:
 "Gibara, August 3.-On the 16th of July I held the last conference with the Ameri- can general, Shafter. He informed mo that the American troops had captured Santiago de Cuba. Aware that my troops were no longer needed in that vicinity, while they were needed very much in other places still occupied by the enemy, so informed General Shafter He asked me to delay my departure two or three days, which did, starting on the 2Oth to- ward Holguin by way of Jiguani. I am at present with my general headquarters in the town of Gibara, where arrived on the 3Oth of July.
 "On the 18th while encamped In San Pedro Cacum learned that General Luque had evacuated this town and that General Luis De Fera, with the troops under him had occupied it. The Spanish left in the hospitals over 600 sick and wounded, whom I have provided with beef.
 "There is perfect order in the town; new municipal authorities have been elected and everything is working regularly. The United States steamship Nashville was in the harbors when entered. I requested its commander to ask his government to open this port to foreign commence, or with the United States at least, for there is great scarcity of provisions. ai
 Spanish Took Everything.l
 "The Spanish took everything they could. General Luque is in Holguin with 12, 600 men and twenty-four cannon, and I am trying to force him out, although I can only count on 4,00O men and four cannon with which to fight him. Volunteers and guerillas are daily joining us. About 1,5OO have already joined us and if it continues the Spanish army will soon be dissolved.
 "Mayari, Fray Benita, Jurio and Jandiaga are garrisoned by our army. The first of these towns was evacuated on the 22d of July, leaving 100 sick and wounded that we are caring for in the hospitals When the Spanards left Mayari we defeated them, capturing their convoy, consisting of 300 rifles, 10000 Remington and Mauser cart ridges, two cannon with ammunition for them and provisions and clothing. They suffered severe losses, not many arriving at Holgun.
 T have received propositions for the sur- render of Manzanillo under conditions which have refused to accept. Very soon all my department will be free from the do- minion of Spain.

RUMORS ABOUT
 SECRET TREATY. Between America and Great Brit- ain Credited Throughout Spain' ARTICLES IN LONDON TIMES Recommending Annexation of Philippines by United States. GIVE COLOR TO THE REPORT Question Contains Germs of Great h.

Question Contains Germs of Great h.
 ternationaI Complications.
TWO CONTINGENCIES POSSIBLE

London, August 24.-The Times Madrid correspondent says:
 commenting the annexation of the Philip pines by America are attracting much at- tention here. They are regarded as con- firming current rumor about a secret agreement between the cabinet of London and Washington for joint action in the far east.
 "In any case, it is feared that the reap proachment which unquestionably exists contains germs of great international com- plications. Three months ago when Spain suddenly found herself alone face to face with a powerful antagonist such a prospect would have been hailed with delight be- cause 1t was believed that in general imbroglio she would be sure to find allies. Now, the political situation is better un- derstood and fears are expressed that in general conflict of the great powers, what ever the result, Spain would have to play les pots casses.''
 Fl Liberal publishes significant article in this sense. Trying to forecast the inn mediate future, it says:
 Will Be Great War
 Two contingencies are possible, either the great powers will come to an agree ment about their respective spheres of in- fuence or there will be a great war, in which England will play a leading part against Russia and France In the former case, Spain would lose the Philippines be- cause they would be included in the par tition. In the slatter case England would begin by an attempt to get possession of the keys to the Mediterranean, including Ceuta and the Balearic islands, which may be regarded as the key.
 This possibility of a struggle for naval supremacy in the Mediterranean at some time in the near future gives certain im- portance to reports of new forts in the viz cinity of Gibraltar and diplomatic corre- spondence there anent. Neither Spain nor England, however, can be supposed to have any aggressive designs, and if we read be- tween lines of certain very guarded semi official statements, we must conclude that the Spanish government has recently re- ceived from London some positive assur- ances on ths point Spain must, it is said, maintain her elementary rights to national self-defense, but she has at present suffi- cient diplomatic difficulties on hand to pre- vent her creating additional complica- tiOns'"
