GENERAL MILES
REVIEWS THE WAR
Continued from Page -

loaded with artillery, besides those al
ready disembarked. He designed to
disembark the troops and artillery
named on the west side of Santiago,
as was understood before leaving
Washington. and before he went ashore
he made the necessary arrangements
accordingly.
CONFERENCE WITH TORAL.
He then proceeded to the front and
after consulting with General Shafter,
note was sent to the Spanish COM
mander by General Shafter, saying that
the commanding general of the United
States army had arrived in his capac-
ity with strong reinforcenents and
would meet him between the lines at
any hour agreeable. The reply of the
Spanish commander was that he would
meet him at II O'Clock next morning.
The meeting was held and after some
conversation between General Shafter
and General Toral, General Miles
frankly admitted to the Spanish gen.
eral that he had left Washington six
days before and that it was then the
determination of the government that
his portion OF the Spanish army must
be captured or destroyed. He also in
formed the Spanish general that his re-
Inducements had arrived with him,
disembarlzed and the remainder would
be disembarked on the west side of the
harbor and that it was useless for him
to contend against the inevitable.
These transports could also be plain
ly seen by the Spanish from Moro
Castle and other points.
General Toral replied that so long as
he had rations and ammunition he had
to fight in order to maintain the honor
.s.-I, r.,
that he was informed that he had al
ready maintained the honor and that
further efforts would be useless and
would result in a wantonN sacrifice of
human life. He then said that he was
waiting to hear from his government
and was informed by General Miles
that he had already taken time for that
purpose and would be given until day
light of the following morning; it be-
ing then o'clock, to submit an an
swer. He begged for longer time and
earnestly requested until II o'clock
next day. This was finally agreed to
by General Miles. the meeting dissolved
and the officers separated.
AUTHORITY FROM ALGER.
On returning from this conference a
dispatch was received by General Miles
from Washington as follows:
Washington, d. c., July 13-Major
General Miles: You may accept sur
render by granting parole to officers
and men. the officers retaining their
side arms. the officers and men after
parole to be permitted to return to
Spain. the United States assisting. If
not accepted. then assault. unless in
your Judgment an ASSAULT would fail.
Consult with Sampson and pursue such
course as TO the assault as you jointly
agree upon. Matter should be settled
promptly.
(Signed) 'R. A ALGER,
Secretary of War"
This. the statement says. does not
look as # General Miles was there as a
visitor. He was charged with response
biIity of ordering an assault upon the
entertainments and fortificatio.ts of an
army which. if successful, would have
cost at least soc or OF withholding the
assault. if in his2Idgmcnt such assault

state central committee, at 1890 this
afternoon, with about leo delegates
present. Peter Weber of White Pine
county was chosen temporary chair
man and John Ish of Elko, temporary
secretary, with Barney Campbell, as
sistant, and f. B. Cross, sergeant-at-
arms.
After several motions had been made.
the convention finally took a recess
until O'Clock to enable the temporary
chairman to appoint a committee OF
five on permanent organization and or
der of business, seven or credentials
and seven on platform and resolutions.
The convention was called to order
promptly at 8 o'clock by Temporary
Chairman Weber, who instructed the
secretary to read list of his commit
tee appointments, which were as fol-
lows:
Permanent Organization and Order
of Observation-Disclosures Russell of Elko,
Holmes of Storey, Likes of Churchill,
Denton of Lincoln and Wagner of
Ormsby.
Credentials-Ryan of Storey. Dooley
of Lincoln, Lynch Of Washee, Grimes
of Churchill, Triplett of Elko, Angel
of Lyon and Hendrick of 0rmsby
Platform and Resolutions.-Denn of
Washoe, Parsons of Elllo, Belknap of
Storey, Newhausen OF Ormsby, Reipe
of White Pine, Silver of Churchill and
Warren of Humboldt.
The convention then adjourned until
tomorrow morning at 10 O'Clock.
The question of the hour seems to be
to fuse or not to fuse. Many in the
west favor fusion, while those in the
east part of the state are in favor of
going 1t alone, with George Russell of
Elko for governor and a full state
ticket
Tomorrow startling developments are
anticipated. The silverites seem quite
Indeoendent as to fusion. but a close
observer can see that both parties are
not little concerned as TO the result.
There IS no outward change in the
situation as outlined in these dis
patches yesterday.
