would have the time to give matters the

GEN. MILES REPORT.
RumOr That 1t viii BE Withheld
From Publication.

Major General Miles, commanding the
army, has made his annual report to the
Secretary of War. It is particularly inter
esting this year, for the reason that 1t COW
ers the military operations of the United
States in the war with Spain. Although it
deals literally with the conduct of the war
in the Philippines, the report devotes more
attention to the campaigns in Cuba and
Porto Rico, in both of which General Miles
took an active and leading part. 1t is un-
derstood that General Miles speaks with
the utmost frarkness in regard TO the con-
duct of the Var from its ilcepupn, anl
that his report contains some caustic COM
ments on the administra ton of affairs by
Secretary Alger and General Shafter. There
Is rumor about the War Department that
the Secretary of War has decided to with
hold General Miles report from the public
but the rumor is not believed. Tnasmuch
as Secretary Alger is permitting all the
subordinate general officers and the chiefs
of all the bureaus of the War Department
to give out their reports for publication,
he can hardly decline to extend similar
courtesy to General Miles without leaving
himself open to the charge of discrimina-
tion. Therefore, it is not believed that the
feeling between the two officials Will go to
the extent of an attempt to prevent the
publication of the annual report of the
commander of the army.
