MILES STANDS BY 1T.
Says Reported Interviews Are
Substantially Correct.

New York Sept 7.-General Miles ad-
mitted to the Associated Press reporter
who interviewed him while the OLDHAM
was lying off Liberty island today, the
substantial accuracy of the statement
attributed to him by the Kansas City
Stars correspondent at Ponce, Porto
Rico.
There are,'' General Miles said to the
newspaper men about him, "a few mi
nor inaccuracies in the published re-
ports, such as usually occur in such in
terVleWs. do not care to point out
the inaccuracies referred to at this
time; they are unimpOrtant.
1T is true that 1 requested that my
troops in Porto Rico on their return
home should be allowed to camp some
where near New York, preferably
Brooklyn Heights. Fort Wadsworth or
Governors Island. I also requested
of the war department that the troops
be allowed to march through New York
City.
''I never intended to parade myself, a s
I shall go to Washington in a few days
and would not be here at the time of
the contemplated parade
Il asked that the Wisconsin men
aboard the OLDHAM be permitted to stay
in this vicinity for a day or two to give
them a chance to see the city. It would
do no harm to let these western boys
get a glimpse of New York. Surely
they merit it, Many of them, I think,
have never seen the city and perhaps
will never have another opportunity to
see 1t.
ITO my first request namely that my
troops be permitted to camp hereabouts
in the neighborhoOd of Brooklyn
Heights and that they be allowed to
parade, I have received no reply. To
my second request 1 received a reply
at quarantine this morning ordering
the Wisconsin boys home forthwith
The men will go from the transports
directly to the cars.
Il shall stay in the city day or two
to transact some business and will then
division will reach New York in a day
or two I think. They will come on the
transports Mississippi, Manitoba, Alamo
and Concho. The last will carry Gen.
Wilson and his headquarters.

Wouldn't Leave Camp Unless
Sleeping Cars We're
Provided.

Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point, L. L,
Sept. General Shafter said today
that he had not any official cOnf1rma-
ton of his unofficial information of yes
terday, that some of the Porto Rican
troops were coming to this camp, con-
sequently he assumed that none Of
them was coming.
The First Illinois volunteers had ex-
pected to leave for home this morning.
Their baggage was all sent to the train
about eight car loads of it-and por-
ton of them was at the station ready
to take the train, when it was learned
that there would not be enough sleep
ing cars for the men. The Illinois men
will require about 40 sleeping cars.
Colonel Turner got a telegram that
the cars We're not ready consequently
he declined to go until he knew posi-
lively whether the number of sleeping
cars needed would be ready for him on
the Jersey side.
The baggage was all sent back to the
camp and all the men returned.
Several hours after the general hOspi-
tai authorities had been notified that
the First Illinois regiment would go,
am bulance with the sick men of the
regiment began to arrive at the station.
There were 80 or 40 and they also had
to be sent back to the hospital This
was particularly hard on the sick
men.
Colonel Turner thinks the regiment
will be able to leave tonight.
Companies B and NJ of the Third
Texas were unable to get away today.
They will go on the o'clock train to-
morrow morning.
The deaths in camp at the general

BADLY BURNED.
Acetyline Gas Exploded at Lakes
Drugstore by lighting a Match.

George -Knauer, a young man employed
by w. F. Lake, the druggist, was hOr-
ribly burned about the face head and
hands in the basement of the drug store
this morning. Knauer struck match
to light a gas jet in the vicinity of the
tank of acetyline gas used in lighting the
store, and from which the gas was escap-
ing. The escaping gas ignited in a flash
of flame, enveloping his face, head and
hands for a moment. The skin on his
face was blistered most painfully. His
eyebrows and eyelashes were burned off
by the flame and his hair badly singed.
Knauer was able to make his way up
the stairs from the basement into the
drug store. and a physician was called
It is thought that the burns will not prove
serious.
The flame from the escaping gas died
out in a moment. and did not spread to
the gas tank Had the flame reached the
tank the entire building would probably
have been blown up.

LOSSES OF THE WAR.
Proportion of officers Extraordinarily
Large.

Washington, Sept. THE official rec
ords of the war department as far as
completed show that there were thirty
three officers and 231 enlisted men of the
army, 264 in all. killed in battle during
the war with Spain. These casualties
include all the lives lost by the army
in the battle in the Philippines as well
as those in Cuba and Porto Rico
The percentage of officers killed is
strikingly large and is said to be IN
precedented in the battles of the world.
The contrast is especially striking in
the case of the battle of Omdurman,
where, although the loss of life was
heavy, the list of killed included only
one officer of the British army.

STAGE FRIGHT.
A Real Case of It at the Crawford
Mortifles an Excellent SINGER.

Harry Wilson can sing coon songs but
he can't sing ballads. He is a member
of the Gay Rhea company, and Monday
night he demonstrated the former state
ment. Last night he gave absolute
proof Of the latter.
This peculiar aff1iction is due to
lack of ballad training during Mr.. Viii
attempted to correct it yesterday after
noon, but after practicing in the the
alter for half an hour the members or
the company and pianist combined IN
breaking the news to him that in ballad
singing he was a failure. But Mr.. Will
son is ambitious, and much to the con-
sternation of his associates he an
in the evening would undoubtedly help
his voice and that he intended to appear
in an illustrated song as feature OF
last nights performance.
The song Mr.. Wilson tried to sing an
the afternoon and failed to sing in the
of Your Own" After the curtain on
the first act the stereopticOn was set in
motion and the first view illustrating
the ballad was thrown on the canvas
Mr.. Wilson appeared at the side OF the
stage, and Roy Crawford, who was do
ing duty as pianist, started the music
of the selection. He took up the first
line in tune but the tune was WaVering
on the second and on the third 1t was a
cross between that of the ballad and
''All Coons Look Alike to Me" Half
way along the fourth line he broke
down altogether, and retreated. The
darkness of the stage saved his bushes.
Young Mr.. Crawford here proved him
self the hero of the occasion by taking
up the correct tune and finishing the
song, playing the accompaniment him
self. He was loudly applauded.

HIS REGIMENT LOST.
Private Carter Looking for the 22nd

Private Pierce Carter of company B,
Twenty-second regiment arrived in To-
peka today in search of his regiment.
He was in Ohio a furlOugh and
went to Columbus for assignment to his
regiment. He was given transportation
to Topeka and arrived today with his
blanket on his back on the lookout for
his regiment
Private Pierce called at the COVER
nor's office but he was told that the To-
cation of the Twenty-second is a mat
ter of conjecture. The state officers do
not know whether the regiment is on
the road to Leavenworth to be muster
ed out or is still in Middletown, Penn.
The soldier was sent to Leavenworth
to await the arrival of his regiment.

CONTRACTORS FUSS.
Responsible for che Failure to Re
move ScaHolding From Dome.

The reason the scaffolding in the state
house dome has not been removed is
because two contractors disagreed over
their contract in building it and after
ward removing it, Henry Gruber had
the contract for plastering the interior
of the dome, while Louis VanDorp had
the contract for the iron work. They
both, and that Van Dorp would build
it and was to receive $155 from Gruber.
and afterward remove it. Gruber
brought suit before Justice Chesney to
recover from VanDorp $155 on his viola
ton of the contract in not making the
scaffolding according to agreement and
refusing to remove it. The case was
dismissed as the allegations were not
proven. The scaffolding will be re-
moved rapidly.
