GEN NILES REPORT IS IN.
Hint That Certain Portions of IL VIII
lie withheld from Pub
iicntion.

Washington, Nov. 9.-Maj. Gen. Nel-
SON "A. Miles has completed and sub
mitted 10 the war department his re-
port covering the entire period of hos
tilities between the United States and
Spain.
Ii could not be learned AT the war
department whether this report in its
entirety will be given out for publica.
ton i'm the near future or at all. IL
Is limited that certain portions of the
report may be withheld The sum and
substance OF the reasons for holding lt.
IL Is asserted. is the fact that the re-
port Is said TO deal squnrely with mat
tiers that certain officials prefer TO keep
in the background.
Friends of Gen. Miles who claim to
be cognizant of the contents of the
report say IL is exhaustive in dealing
with the minutest details, and many
things which have not been clear TO
the general public as to the conduct OF
the war are fully and comprehenslvcly
explained.
That the report is thorough and ex-
haustive is shown by the fact that 1t
covers nearly 200 sheets of closely type
written manifold paper and includes
all dispatches sent 10y and received by
Gen. Miles. IL, in fact, covers all the
part taken by the army in the war
and deals in the most minute particu-
lars with the period beginning with
Gen. Miles landing in Cuba and until
he left the island OF Porto Rico TO
come home.
The reference 10 the Santiago cam
/ paign alone takes up many pages. The
invasion and occupation of Porto Rico
/ Is given I'm detail. Ii is also mentioned
+ that Gen. Miles conferred with Admiral
4 Sampson and asked the admiral to pro-
i tect the landing of United States troops
on Cuban soil, which was done The
report also refers TO the warning Gen.
4 Miles gave TO Gen. Shafter, and in plain
| English criticises Gen. Skaters con-
1 duet OF the campaign in Santiago.
The report practically states that the
muddled condition of matters relating
to the army status is due TO the fact
/ that much information that was given
out was contradicted by the secretary
/ of war.
The report makes no reference 20 the
so-called Alger-Miles controversy. but
none of the statements credited to Gen.
Miles are reiterated. A friend of Gen.
Miles said: "The general will not make
the report public, but the secretary of
war will give IL out. He will not dare
to keep IL back. IL will be bitter pill
for Alger, but when il is known that
the report has been submitted the de-
mand for IL will be great"
