Quotes From Memory.

1 have no records here with me in Ha-
Vana and am therefore unable to furnish
copies of the papers to which ! may have
TO refer. My narration is from memory,
the accuracy of which, however, can be
readily verified by examination of the Or
ders themselves.
/ was first intrusted orally by General
Miles with the preparation of project for
the invasion of Cuba by an expeditonary
force of 1000 6.G00 men. This force was
to make a surprise landing on the east
shore of Mariel bay, Immediately intrench
and establish fortified camp and depot as
a base of operations, whence with addi-
tiOnal troops to follow a campaign would
be made against Havana. | prepared my
draft of this and submitted it to the
major general commanding, with the par
ucUlars of the troops and their armament
and the general details Of the campaign to
follow, involving an attack upon Havana
from the southwest, first taking possession
of the source of the water supply, which
lay in that direction.
This project having received preliminary
approval, | made arrangements to get a
battalion of engineers in such manner as
might ne practicable, with an outfit of in
trenchinS tools, and an advance division of
pontoon boats. to be used a pier in Ma
riel bay for the convenient landing of
troops in sheltered waters, and in the alb
sencc Of A wharf. The transport Alamo
was loaded at New York with two compa-
and one from West Point, with a pontoCn
train and Il large quantity of tools axes
picks, shovels and the like intended for
the use of the engineer command.
Changed the Plan.
This, It will be observed was for a cam
paiSn against Havana with an expedition
landing of five or six thousand men in
Mariel bay. Meanwhile the troops were
gathering at Tampa. bur the plan of cam
palgn was suddenly changed and General
Skaters force diverted to an expedition
against Santiago for the purpose of cap
turing or destroying the Spanish fleet and
the garrison of the place. 1t will be OBJ
served that the problem was an entirely

If these indicate correctly the nature of
Gen Miles testimony and of the RESPONSE
biIity that is therein made to attach to
me for any shortcomings that may be sup
posed to have existed in connection with
the embarkation and Decentralization of the
Santiago expedition. l beg leave, disclaim-
ing all intention to disrespect, to expresj
my surprise at the statements made,
I had the honor at the time TO be a>-ach-
ed to Gen. Miles staff as chief engineer
of the armies in the field, and such orders
as l received We're given me by him.
In the newspaper statements it Is made
to appear that ! was ordered by Gen. Miles
to supply myself with everything necessary
for the Decentralization of the troops in
Cuba; that | had failed to comply with
these instructions, and that ] had done
nothing but furnish a number of small
less for that purpose, although | had been
sent TO a number of places to collect
proper equipment. Without further direct
reference to these statements, which are
without adequate basis in fact, but which,
being newspaper TenditionS only, may be
quite in error, compared with the Off
cial record. | beg leave to make the follow
ing statement of the actual facts of the
case and of my responsibilities for the in
formation of the commission. to which |
propose to append my affidavit as to their
correctness. as has been with one eXcep-
ton the custom with statements made to
the commission:

COST OF CABLE. CENSUS OF 1900
Hawaii Will Go Into the
Book of States.
Information From WASHINGTON =

| WASHINGTON, April 21.-The frs

istratiOn of the Census Bureau. Pre-
liminary work has already begun
Government officials in the Hawaiia,
Islands have been communicated will
in reference TO the appointment of ;
supervisor. This official will be al
American resident Of the Islands. an(
1t is understood the enumerators. over
whom he will have supervision. will
be natives.
| 1t is the understanding of the off
GERS of the census that the popula-
ton of the Islands is approximately
10000, divided among the different
races as follows:
Hawaiians and mixed blood, $4,000;
Japanese, $4,000; Chinese, u 800; Por-
Ituguese, $4,000; Americans, 1000; Brit
fish, $3.50; Germans and other Euro
peans, 1000; Polynesians and miscel-
laneous, 1850.
IutSe p6Oplt dlS
the Islands as follows: Hawaii, SO, 2S5:
Maui, 1926; Oahu, 40,205 Kauai, 15,-
22S; Molokai 2307; Lanai, 1O5; Niihau,
1874.
One of the interesting features Of the
Hawaiian census will be the enumera-
ton of lepers. 1t is presumed that not
all the lepers have been isolated, and
the census will seek to develop accurate
and reliable information concerning the
status of the disease.
One of the aims of the insular census
will be to gather statistics as to i'll
literacy in the Islands. The census will
show a great deal of valuable matter
concerning trade and commerce of the
Islands. At present the Islands grow,
export and sell more than $4,000, 900
worth of produce annually.
It is the belief among those who pre-
side over the census that the commerce
of these Islands will eventually assume
vast proportions. The exports of sugar
from Hawaii in 1896 amounted in
value to $14,932, 172, while all other ex-
ports together, including rice, coffee,
bananas, wool, hides and pineapples,
only amounted to 1888 ,O53.
