General Miles sailed for Cuba. on
July II, at noon, he reported his SAFE
arrival TO the war department and at
once assumed charge, reporting to the
secretary of war. All Of the subsequent
business OF the surrender was entirely
in his handsu as shown by the fact that
the war department communicated with
him direct, not even mentioning Gen
eral Shafter' name In the numerous uls-
matches, The following dispatch Is an
excellent example:
WASHINGTON, July Is, 1888.

cept surrender by granting parole 20 OF

NARROW ESCAPE OF LADIES

A Boy Who Went to Their Aid Was
Knocked Down and Burned.
A Live Wire

BY colliding with a live electric wire,
which had been carelessly dropped into
the street by some linemen at Seventeenth
streetsand Grand avenue yesterday after
noon, fine horse owned by DR.. j. W.
Trueworthy was terribly burned. Mrs.
Trueworthy. accompanied by her mother,
Mrs. e. Borton of Emporia, Kan, and Mrs.
Sanford and daughter were driving along
Grand avenue and as they approached the
corner of Seventeenth did not notice the
wire across the street. The horse struck
1t and the shock was SO great that 1t was
knocked down. 1t fell across the wire
which burned into the animals flesh and In
it's agony 1t began kicking madly. Severa.
small boys were on the sidewalk nearby
and one of them whose name could not be
learned, seized the wire intending to pull
1t from under the horse. He did not know
that it was charged and as soon as he
touched it the force of the current threw
him to the ground, badly burning his
hands. The ladies in the buggy were terror
stricken and Mrs. Borton. who is advanced
In years, tainted from fright. The line
men who had been working with the wire
appeared several minutes after the acci-
dent and with their insulated pliers pulled
the wire from under the horse. Every place
where the wire had touched the horse had
caused a bad burn and Dr. Trueworthy
said last night that the animal was ruined.
