Gen. Wade's reenforcements for Gen.
Miles are going forward regardless of
the progress of peace negotiations.

of peace does no necessarily carry
with it a cessation of hostilities. In

began before hostilities were declared
to be closed and if it is desirable these
reenforcements may be intercepted
and returned to the United States
after they sail. The present plans Of
Secretary Alger all contemplate that
