Washington. Sept. IL. - Gen. Miles
came 10 the war department building
yesterday. and after spending a short
time in his office, went to the o ce of
the secretary of war. Assistant Ses-
rotary Miklejohn was AT the desk of
Secretary Alger, talking to Adjt. Gen.
Corbin and Gov. Atkinson of Georgia
when Gen. Miles arrived The latter
was accompanied by a member of his
stan. The general shook hands with
h party when the business of the
governor was concluded. Gen. Miles
then chatted with Mr.. Meiklejohn over
the Porto Eican campaign and took
his dSarture. Gen. Miles said after
ward that there were a number OF
matters that required deliberate on
sideration with respect TO the army
organization, and that undoubtedly
steps in the direction would be taken
as soon as practicable. The matter OF
mastering out the volunteer general
officers in correspondence with the
general
Reduction Of the Army
by mastering out, he said. would have
10 be taken up at an early date, and
that evidently would cause n rea
rangement Of department commands.
With respect 10 the reorganization OF
the army Gen. Miles said that the ex-
p~erience OF this war had very clearly
demonstrated what military authori-
ties well understood before, that the
establishment of a standard was nee
essary TO the entire efficiency of the
army. He said that ii was his inten-
ton to recommend a plan of reorgan-
iZation to congress. and he believed
the necessity for ii would be recog-
niZed by the public and by congress.
The acquisition OF territory obviously
made il necessary that there should
be a larger army. and the experience
of the wal had demonstrated the
necessity of establishing a standard
and having the trosps thoroughly
trained to the military service.
Gen. Miles paid his respects to the
president al 1O:45 in the morning.
The cali was brief. owing to the cabi-
net meeting at IL. and was confined 10
4 formal exchange of courtesies.

ing aid from the British home govern
ment as n matter of right as being the

and also demanded the adoption of
measures either for the exclusion of
bounty-fed sugar from the English
market or the enforcement of counter
vailing duties. No ultimatum looking
To American annexation was adopted.

discussed as a possible future con-
