REPORT OF GEN. MILES.
The Entire Period OF HostilIties Between
the United ttte< and Spain Covered
in His Document.

New York. Nov. "a dispatch to
/ the New York Herald from Washing
| ton SAYS: Mai. Gen. Nelson y. Miles
| mas completed and 81 omitted TO the
| war department his report covering
| the entire period of hostilities between
| the L nited States and Spain. 1t could
| not be learned at the war de partment
whether this report in IS entirety will
be given out for publication. 1t IS
limited that certain portions OF the re-
port may be withheld. The sum and
substance OF the reasons for withhold
ing it, it is asserted, i the fact that
the report IS said to deal squareIy
with matters that certain officials pre-
fer to keep in the background.
Friends Of Gen. Miles who claim to
be cognizant OF the contents Of the re-
port say it is exhaustive IN dealing
with the minutest details, and many
things which have not been clear to
the general public as to the conduct
of the war are fully and comprehen-
siveIy explained. That the report IS
thorough and exhaustive IS shown By
the fact that it covers nearly 200 sheet It's
of closely typewriter manifold paper
and includes all dispatches sent by
fact, covers all the part taken by the
army in the war and deals IN the most
minute details with the period begin
ming with Gen. Miles landing in Cuba
and until he left the island of Porto
Rico to come home.
The reference to the Santiago cam
paign alone takes up many pages The
invasion and occupancy OF Porto Rico
is given in detail 1t is also men
toned that Gen. Miles conferred with
Admiral Sampson and asked the admi-
raj TO protect the landing of United
States troops on Cuban soil. which was
done.
The report also refers to the warn
ing Gen Miles gave to Gen. Shafter
and in plain English criticises Gen
Skaters conduct OF the campaign in
Santiago The report only makes
brief mention Of the work Of the in
spector generals department, which
Gen. Miles thinks was satisfactory in
solar as the inspector general had
power and authority TO act From
this the inference IS drawn that the
inspector general was curtailed bv au-
thority greater than his IN the conduct
OF his work
Contained in the report are true
copies Of every telegram that passed
between Gen Miles and the war de-
partment- None OF them : curtaiIed
or mutilated and It is said i the report
Is published in full many OF these teIe-
grams and portions OF others will be
made public for the first time. These
