BETTER FOR MILES.
The New Secretary Instructed to Con-
fer with the General.

fer with the General.
WASHINGTON, July 31-General Miles
has every reason to believe that he will now
be something more than commanding gen.
eral in name only. 1t has been stated that
General Miles is preparing his case, and
that when the new secretary takes office
On Tuesday he proposes to demand his
rights. This is not true. He simply intends
to resume his former duties under the regu-
lations. In this way 1t will devolve on Sec
rotary Root to raise any question concern
ing General Miles's duties and responsible
ties, and not the general General Miles
does not expect anything but harmony, nor
does Mr.. Root. Mr.. Mckinley insists on
it. At the conference between the Presi-
dent and General Miles, the day before AL
ger resigned. the desirability of more pleas
ant relations between the major general
commanding the head of the War Depart
ment was emphasized, and assurances were
given that General Miles would receive bet
ter treatment in the future.
The new secretary has already been re-
quested by the President to give General
Miles's recommendations and views careful
consideration. On his part. General Miles
will be expected to aid the secretary in
administering the affairs of the department
and dealing with the military situation in
the Philippines.
Adjutant General Corbin is too much a
soldier not to obey the Presidents wishes
His friends point out that, although 1t has
been repeatedly asserted that he is not
friendly toward General Miles. he has MAIN
tanned pleasant official relations with that
officer, notwithstanding his loyalty to Sec
rotary Alger. With a tactful man like Mr.
Root at the head of affairs it is believed by
officials that the chickering's which have dis
tinguished the War Department the last
year will cease.

wrong or careless use of money, were also
made by the London Times. This charge is
false. So far as the conduct of the service
was concerned. no person with any knowl-
edge of the facts can ever charge truth
fully and no one can ever show that dollar
was misappropriated, stolen or embezzled
out of the hundreds Of millions of dollars
that were expended. The records are an
open book, and 1 will be glad 10 have them
rigidly examined, and 1 ask my successor
to open these accounts to the country when
ever properly called for, in order that the
entire truth may be known.

Baltimore Quarantines.

BALTIMORE. Nd, July 81. - DR.. c.
Hampson Jones, health commissioner OF
this city, announced tonight that a rigid
quarantine has been declared against the
towns Of Newport News, Hampton and Old
Point Comfort, Va, on account Of the prev
alence OF yellow fever in that vicinity, and
that 1t would be rigidly maintained. No
boats touching at either point included In
the order will be allowed to land passengers
from those places. nor will persons coming
here by train from the quarantined towns be
permitted to enter this city. DE-. Jones does
not fear that yellow fever will reach Balti-
more or become epidemic in any case, but
he deems IAN ounce Of prevention" good
thing at this time.

Otis Is a Hard Worker.

CHICAGO. July S1.-Lieutenant Edward
Z. Kelly, Of the Volunteer Signal Service,
has just returned from Manila to
this city. He said tonight: 1.-THE newspaper
stories have been greatly exaggerated.
There is no organized rebellion In the
islands at this time. There are few bands
of insurgents continueing a bushwhacking
warfare, but there. is not force of FIJI
pinos in the island which will make stand
against the American troops. General Otis
has broken up their organization and when
he receives enough troops to garrison the
towns and maintain law and order what is
now left of the instruction will disappear.
General Otis has been unduly criticised.
He is a Woodworking man. He can be found
at his office from a. m. until midnight.
It is my opinion 1t will require at least
100000 men to hold the islands for time,
but the troops will be used for garrison
duty and not for fighting.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 31.-An officer of
one Of the volunteer regiments in the Phil
ippines has written the following letter to
the Associated Press:
MANILA, June 27.-The arrival OF the
rainy season finds the instruction as vigor-
Gus as it has been any time since the out
break. The insurgent armies are well re-
cruited, Notwithstanding their heavy losses,
and are we'll fed and clothed. They have
profited by their five months OF warfare
against the Americans. They are fast adopt
ing American tactics and becoming better
disciplined and more skillful in the use Of
their weapons every day.
One hundred thousand soldiers should be
here ready for business by the beginning of
the dry season in November. Garrisons
could then be stationed at strategic points.
A. continuous warfare cannot be carried on
in this enervating climate by the same
troops. Frequent reliefs are necessary.
Troops should not be kept here longer than
a year. Men from a northern climate retain
their native vigor for six or eight months
after arrival here and then begin to sue
cumb to the various ailments of tropical
weather. This Is exemplifed in the case Of
the volunteers and those regulars who have
been in the Philippines since last summer.
The most of them are saturated with ma
laria, many have rheumatism and all are
greatly debilitated. They are unfit for fur
Their duty, and recuperation seems slow and
unsatisfactory. AS it is with them, so 1t is
likely to be with their successors.
The eight million people Of the Philippines
are as highly civilized as the twelve mil
lion of Mexico. If the American people will
imagine the United States to have acquired
Mexico against her will and to be engaged
in an attempt to put down universal re-
bellion of Mexicans with 10000 troops they
will have duplicate picture at close range
Of the situation in the Philippines, with the
exception that the climate Of the Philip
pines is from 10 to Is degrees more tropical
than that of Mexico"

Preside. where they went into camp pre-

cheered the war-worn veterans. Whistles
were blown, bells rung and cannon fired
from the time the men started on their
marc till they passed from the business
section out to the Preside. Market street
had been cleared Of all traffic. General
Shafter had provided an escort of artillery,
and this body of soldiers with a band
headed the procession.
The men were cheered to the echo as they
proceeded along the line OF march, but the
sight Of the battle flag Of the Nebraskans
aroused all the enthusiasm the spectators
could muster. The hospital corps brought

TRIAL IN HAVANA
Government Insists on
His Extradition.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-The Secretary
of War has received a letter from the
Governor of Louisiana relative to the case
of w. A. Cox, who is now held in GUS
tody in the city of New Orleans by the
State authorities of Louisiana pending
the Governors action upon requlSitton
for his surrender to the authorities OF
the United States upon the charge of fell
ony, committed in Havana. The Cover
nor stated that he had received a letter
from reputable attorney who had prac-
uced law in Havana and was well ac-
quafnted with Cox and the prosecuting
witness, which contained allegations of
conspiracy against Cox in Havana and
criticisms upon the manner of adminis-
should not be surrendered This letter
raised doubts in the Governors mind as
to what action he should take in the
premises.
In response to the Governors letter the
Government takes the ground that the
only question for consideration is as to
whether there is a charge of crime duly
presented against Cox that ought to re-
qu1re him to appear and answer in the
court having jurisdiction of the offense.
I'VE have a right" it is insisted "to
assume that the United States is main
tanning a government in Havana in which
the rights of persons and of property are
being protected, and that if we are to
permit the United States in its prox-
unity to Cuba to be place of refuge for
Cuban criminals the probabilities are that
