, MAJOR GENERAL NILSSON A. MILES.

No man, either ia the civil war or
In any other conflict, attained to the
distinction at the age of twenty-six
years that Miles won under Grant.
When this officers age is kept in mind,
what he did from 1861 to 1865 be-
comes most conspicuous.
He was not quite twenty-five years
old when Fort Sumter was fired upon,
and he then was employed in store
not far from Boston. He had come in
to the possession Of 81 900, and prompt
ly devoted this money to organizing a
company of volunteers. He succeeded
in borrowing $500 more from rel
alive, giving his personal note as Sc
curity. With this money young Miles
equipped his company, was elected as
Its captain, and made all arrangements
to go to the front. But the Governor
OF Massachusetts, learning the age Of
the young captain, refused to issue a
commission to him. Instead ne made
Miles lieutenant, and in that capacity
be joined the federal forces.
IL was D"t snort tlme, however,

Governor. Before he had been long
In active service Miles was made
captain, then a colonel, later briga-
der general and finally major gen.
erll. General Hancock, under whom
he served in the early years of the
war, quickly discovered his abilities,
and was the more interested in the
young man because OF the fact that
Miles had not been graduated from
West Point. He was in charge Of Han
cocks sElrmish line at Charlottesville
and held his own successfully against
every attack by Lees veterans. In
this duty he was seriously wounded IN
the second day, and General Hancock,
in a letter to Washington urging his
promotion, said, If Colonel Miles lives
he will be one of the most distinguish
ed officers in the service"
AS for General Miles services during
the closing months Of the civil war,
his friends point to the fact that on
February, 1865, when he was but twen-
ty-six years old, he commanded the
Second Army Corps, to which distinc-
ton he had risen by successive promo
ton for brilliant and daring work
while he had commanded regiments,
brigades, and divisions under General
Grant. Never before. they declare,
had an American officer at that age
commanded so large a body of SOL

Not q Vessel Injured.

Simpsons fleet did not get OF rs lucky
~ did Dewey's fleet, Sampson shelIed
San Juan, on Friday, for nearly three
hours, resulting in silencing the batteries
and killing large nu mbor of Spaniards.
The engagement began at s. Is q. IN and
ended at S.l5 a. m, the following named
ships taking part in the action: Iowa, In
diana. New York. Terror. Amphitrlte, De.
troit. Montgomery, Wampatuick and Por-
ter. The Iowa and New York were the
only vessels Of the feet hit. which resulted
In the killing of one seaman on the New
York, besides wounding four mea and
three on board the Iowa.
To show how well a battleship can stand
the cannonading Of the Spanish, the bat
tisship Iowa was hit not loss than eight
times, but the shells failed to make per-
ccptible impression on her armor. Rear
Admiral Sampson and Captain Evans
were on the lower bridge Of the Iowa di-
recting the fight and had narrow escape
from splinters, which injured three Of tho
crew. Sampson handled his ships like the
veteran be is and could easily have taken
the fertilization but had no men to spare
to leave at the fort to hold it after taken.
None Of his fleot suffered anyldalnage,
which is remarkable after the number of
shots fired by the Spanish batteries at the
American vessels.
