MILES AND ROO T CONFER.

Washington, Aug, 1o.-Maj jor Gen.
Miles had a conference of more than
half an hour with the Secretary OF War,
today. Secretary Root said that the con-
ference was devoted to military matters
but would not speak definitely as to
their character. It is known. however
that Gen. Miles brought up the recent
order of Secretary Alger upon the in
spector generals department. That
portion of the order which places the
bureau under the direction of the seerc-
tary of war, instead of the commanding
general of the army as in the former
regulations, is not satisfactory, It'll said,
to Gen. Miles.
