War Department is constantly in re-

to be mustered out, stating that the
war has closed and they wish to 90

discharges will be granted except for
sickness and disability, and the re

ALoER AND MILES.
Documents show That Their Views DIFF

Washington, ID. c.. Oct. 13.-After
devotiug the forenoon to hearing the
testimony OF DIR. Hoff. a chief surgeon
of the Third army corps, stationed at
Camp Thomas, the War Investigating
Commission gave the remainder of the
day 10 the reading Of papers submitted
by Secretary Alger with his statement
concerning the conduct OF the war.
The documents reveal the fact that
General Miles recommended the occu-
patton Of the Isle of Pines about the
time OF the battle OF Santiago. and that
Secretary Alger disapproved the sug-
gestion. II also appears that General
Miles recommended that some point
between Santiago and Porto Rico be
taken previous to the beginning of
either campaign. The correspondence
also developed the fact that there was
an apparent conflict of authority be-
tween General Miles and General
Shafter at Tampa before the Santiago
campaign was inauguraied.
Ii also shows that orders Were issued
by the secretary OF war that in the
event that General Shafter should be
disabled by sickness or other cause. the
command OF the troops at Santiago
should 1eyolve upon General Wheeler
aud upon the next in command In case
OF the disability of both SHUTTER and
