"SECRET" DISPATCH.
Special Dispatch to The can.

NEW YORK, Aug 30.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent sends the
following:
II cannot believe General Miles made
the statements attributed to him by the
correspondent from Porto Rico. He
could not have made them and been
sane at the same time"
This statement was made to me to-
day by Secretary Alger touching the al
legged arraignment of himself and Adju-
tant General Corbin by General Miles
in connection with the suppression of
parts of certain dispatches and the con-
cealment of other dispatches. The pub
lication of the story to-day has been
almost the one topic of conversation
in the War Department, but Secretary
Alger refused at present TO regard the
matter seriously.
When his attention was called more
closely to the charges alleged to have
been made by General Miles, he said:
General Miles perfectly understood
when he left Washington that he was
not to supersede General Shafter and
he so stated in an interview sent from
Washington City to the New York Her
ald.'
Secretary Alger pointed out the sofa
on which General Miles sat when the
purpose of his going to Santiago.
Did General Miles know that<the
dispatch had been sent to General Shat
ter, saying that Miles was hot to su-
persede him?" 1 asked.
He did not the Secretary replied.
He had sailed, but he perfectly under
stood it from our conversation and
from his own understanding as to the
situation as given by himself to the
Herald In view of the fact that Gen
eral Shafter was selected lara ly be-
cause he was recommended by General
Miles, and in view of the fact that
Porto Rico was to be the objective
point of General Miles when he started,
l say / cannot conceive how General
Miles could have made the statements
imputed to him and been sane at the
same time"
'Will General Miles be court-mar-
tfaled?"
Just then Secretary Alger told his
private secretary to get the papers to-
gether relating to the controversy and
said he wanted the statements in the
Herald also, which proved tndisput-
ably" he said, that there was no
thought in the mind of General Miles
superseding General Shafter."
will General Miles be court-mar-
tialed?" 1 asked again.
IF General Miles made these state
ments" answered the Secretary, cit
be taken. do not, however. care to
anticipate events until his acts are off,
cially presented"
Secretary Alger would not believe
that General Miles ever gave out the
dispatches or gave the interviews.
"Of course he said, "he might. have
been drawn into imprudent speech, just
as men travelling together on a Pull
man car will often talk to strangers
about their most personal matters.
There's nothing that makes one so
confidential as travelling together. In
this light, after some compliment or
other from the correspondent, General
Miles may have said something which
he did not intend for print
