Move by the Board to Conn.,
pei the Attendance Of
General Miles,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-General Shat
tor appeared rather Unexpectedly before
the war investigation committee during
the afternoon and told his story Of the
Santiago expedition. He was accompa"
MED by his aide, Colonel Miley, who
was with him in Cuba, and fanked by
a large portmanteau of papers to which
his aide occasionally applied for refer
ence.
General Skaters story Of the opera
tions around Santiago was tersely told
but at times quite vivid in its recital
and interesting in detail. Briefly
summed up, his estimate of the Santi.
ago expedition was that it had been q
military success and cheap at the cost
of 500 men lost in the fight.
Plans Could Not Be Improved.
General Shafter said he considered
the expedition to have been as we'll fit
ted out as the time allowed would per-
NIT, and that in looking back he had nc
criticism of his plans to make and would
not change them if the events had to be
gone through again. He said he had nc
complaints of any sort to make and
would be loath to intrude them at this
time if he had. AS to supplies General
Shafter said there was nothing essential
left behind.
"How about the ambulances?' asked
General Beaver.
"As to those ambulances," said Gen.
eral Shafter, II take the whole response.
biity on myself. I ordered and super
vlseu their loading. After events
proved that it would have been better
to have taken
Ten or Fifteen Additional Alnbulancsa
and left that many wagons behind, but
wagons can be used for two purposes
and ambulances can be used for but
one. I took the wagons and the
wounded had to be transported in them
after the first days fight. Ambulancee
would have been better, but then hind
sight is always better than foresight"
"How about getting the supplies to
the front for the men2' asked General
Beaver.
cit was the one problem Of the cam.
paign and it taxed us to the utmost,
said he. IF it had not been for the
pack train we could not have done il
and the expedition would have been q
failure"
Wounded Well Cared For.
Az to the care of the wounded Gen
eral Shafter said they were cared for az
carefully as the circumstances would
permit.
"The doctors worked like Trojans
They worked until they were sick and
worn out. The doctors were mostly
young men. You can't get very old and
experienced surgeons to 90 on summer
campaign for 800 q month. But they
were splendid fellows. Compared with
the Civil war the wounded were better
cared for in Cuba than they were then.
The committee stated that General
Miles had communicated to the com
mittee his unwillingness to volunteer
testimony. A message was accordingly
sent to the adjutant general directing
him to request the appearance Of Gen
eral Miles before the board.
