GEN. NELSON A. MILES REPORTS
 ON TIE MILITARY OPERATIONS
(Continued From First Page).


 In this letter, which is attached, Dr. Gui- teras is cited in support of the rec1- menda tion to delay the army movement ill Cuba, and it is said that, asde-from dis ease, the United States troops would have to cope with 5000 Spanish troops, the rem nant of 214,O00, which troops were accli- mated and were equipped with 1S3 guns. There was still time, he said to put 1S000 regular troops into healthful camps until they could be used in Cuba with safety.
 4-- Efhciency of Volunteers
 Tn order that the volunteers should be speedily made efficient on April 26, General Miles wrote the secretary of war that they should be encamped for sixty days in their resepective states and disciplined and equip ped and their officers instructed, all im- portant, he said, to health and efficiency. This preliminary work should be done be- fore the troops leave their states" wrote General Miles, who, in his report, adds this: "Congregating tens of thousands of men, many of whom were not uniformed and scarcely any properly equipped, in great camps away from their states, rendered 1t difficult for them to be properly supplied with food cooking utensils camp equip age, blankets, tentage, medical supplies, transportation, etc., and was to a great ax- tent the cause, In my judgment, of the de- bilitating effect upon the health and : strength of the men who were otherwise in good physical condition. The material ne- cessity to equip and clothe large armies was not even manufactured at that time, and the consequent condition of troops for weeks and months were injurious to their commands in many ways"

Killing in Kentucky

Glasgow, Ky, November 10.-News has reached Glasgow of the killing of Louis McClelland in the Neis chapel neighbor- hood and the shooting of his daughter, Bertha, by his son-in-law, Robert Brown. About o'clock this evening Brown walked into McClellands house and commenced firing, killing McClelland and wounding his daughter, who, it is thought. will die be- fore morning. An old family feud was the cause of the shooting. Brown made his escape, but it is thought he will be caught before morning as officers and friends of McClelland are in hot pursuit.

FAIRS KEPT APART.
Says the Filipinos Are Industrious
Little Beings and Manifest Their
Piety by Filling the
Churches.

Father Francis B. Doherty, the well
known Paulist father of this city, who
accompanied General Merritt to Manila,
arrived here on the Coptic yesterday,
having been ordered home on account of
physical weakness brought about by
overwork among the troops at the Phil
ippines.
General Merritt directed me to accom-
pany him. said he, ian evidence of his
broad minded policy-a Protestant officer
going to a Catholic country-to show
that the mission of the American army
was of peace as well as of war. It was
an evident disclaimer on the part of the
American people of an intention of show
ing any hostility to religious interests.
And, also, without doubt. the general-as
an old solder-knew that the army was
largely made up Of Catholics. The same
broad-minded spirit pervades the acts of
his successor, General Otis, a man of
character and justice. His subordinates,
too, seem generally actuated by the same
broad motives. In other words, the gen
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1898-11-22

eral spirit of the Government forces there
is Enthusiastically American and Will
not be misinterpreted through unauthor-
zed acts of irresponsible individuals. The
religious and military questions are kept
as they ought to be, apart-Catholic
troops attending in great numbers the
services held throughout the city. Services
are held also by the Protestant chaplains
in various places.
"a great many soldiers are sick-chief-
" of the various forms of malarial and
sicians and nurses all are working like
horses. and everything that is possible is
done for the sick.
The FiIipinos are Industrious, domestic
little beings and manifest their fervent
piety by filing the churches. The atti-
tude of the military leaders and their ig-
norant followers is for independence while
the intelligent and wealthy elements seek
some such stable government as that
which annexation to the United States
would give them"

Promptly at 1890 yesterday morning a
lively tattoo from the gavel OF Presi-
dent Jacob Neff called to order the dele
gates of the California Miners Assoc1a-
ton who had gathered at n. s. e. W.
Hall and the seventh annual convention
was convened.
Fully $50 delegates, representing the
seventeen mining counties Of the State,
were on hand and every one was In his
seat when with few kindly words Of
good fellowship President Neff intro
duced Mayor Phelan, who had come to
welcome the miners to the city and every
thing in 1t for so long as they may choose
to stay.
The entire day was occupied IN dispos-
ing Of the immense amount Of routine
work. that precedes the actual business
of the convention. Nothing of the poll
tics that has for the past few weeks
stirred the association was apparent at
the meeting. That was all taken care Of
on the outside, and in it there were some
interesting developments. Julian Sonn-
tag and W. C. Ralston, who have been
engaged in such a lively fight for the
presidency, were called of by the an
nouncement that Mr.. Neff was to be re-
elected by reclamation and that he had
practically decided to accept in order to
quiet the Ill feeling that the fight for his
succession had engendered.
The election is called for 2:3O this after
noon, and the plan of the leaders Of the
convention is to place the name Of their
veteran chief in nomination and call for
his election by exclamation. There will
be no opposition, and If Mr.. Neff finally
consents to the plan he will certainly be
elected. So far the scheme has pro-
crossed against the wishes Of the presi-
dent Mr.. Nen has said time and again
that under no circumstance would he ac-
cept reelection. but yesterday the Ill feel
ing that has risen out of the fight for his
vacant chair was pointed out to him and
n order that there shall be no dissensions
resulting from the session Of this year he
may be induced to reconsider his deter
mination. If he does both Sonntag and
Ralston will do him honor with the rest
of their fellows and give way In his favor
without protest.
The fight for the secretaryship is as
warm as ever between Turner and Ben
iamin. Ralston is still trying to swing
his protege into lime, but is meeting with
the opposition of a majority Of the votes
that are represented at the convention
and il looks as though the honors are to
go to Turner. +
: Mayor Phelan's address opened the
business of yesterdays session. His
words were not many, but they were to
the point and well received. In bidding
the miners welcome he said:

Lavgne defeated Wolcott in this city
at 1921 pounds on October 20, 1897.
O'Rourke, who was behind the col
ored Hercules, threw up the sponge at
the end of the twelfth round. Since
that time Lavigne boxed two draws
of twenty rounds each-one with Jack
