GEN. MILES IN THE FIELD.
He Was Greatly Amused al General
 ToraPS Surrender.

Kansas City, Sept. 2-The Star of his city continues to print some very
 emarkahle interviews with General
 Niles, written by it's correspondent in
 Porto Rico, MT. J. D. Whelpley, who is
 Ieneral Mics personal friend. One )1 the extracts from the published in erviews quotes General Miles as say
 Ing:
 The whole affair cf the surrender of
 General Toral was simple. He agreed 0 surrender, was given time to se-
 ,ure approval from General Blanco, ind then from Madrid, and then, with
 put being asked to do so, surrendered lis entire corps, or about twice as many soldiers as were in Santiago This amused me considerably and sur )rised me as well, but 1 took the sur ender of the corps as though I had r 'xpected it.
 Do you think this was done on his ,wn responsibility I asked General Miles.
 T do not know he said "but have lad an idea that this was inspired from Madrid for the purpose of getting he soldiers nome at the expense of the
 United States. With Santiago lost the Spanish forces in eastern Cuba would nave been in very bad condition They are in scattered and isolated garrisons, certain of being defeated in detail, and )y the terms of the surrender they are brought together and shipped to Spain, where they are undoubtedly wanted to strengthen the government against evolutions''
 Another paragraph of interest re- ates to General Roy Stone, and is as ollows:
 Brigadier General Roy Stone of the
 .ngineer corrs has furnished the ele-
 nent Of amusement in this campaign
 necessary to give relief to all serious
 1ramas. He was sent ahead of Gen.
 .ral Henry toward Arecibo with forty
 nen Of the signal corp, and small
 detachment of infantry 10 take charge
 # the telegrs ph offices en route. Con
 tuned with ambition to do something
 ,tartling, however, he was not con
 .ent with thls and started on q pell
 nell overland chase toward the north
 cast capturing villages as he went
 without firing gun. He nearly reach d Arecibo before General Miles sue
 ,eeded in checking his advance, for if
 General Stone had succeeded in reach ing Arecibo. he would have cut off the -etreat of the Spaniards to San Juan rom the west end of the island, and that is just what General Miles did not want to do. because it wCul! mean the
 necessity of several skirmishes per- 1aps of the taking of lot of prison CTS. Genel al Stone was pereml~orily called back and told to attend to his own bushes, but at headquarters he seems to be regarded as constant menace to a peaceful situation Roy Stone and his whereabouts is the
 stock joke around headquarters, but the affair has a serious side which is not overlooked by the commanding general.
