MILES TALKS OF WAR.
Thinks General Conflict of Powers
Possible.

chicago, Aug. 31.-GeneraI Miles, who is
IN Chicago, regards it as quite possible
Inat a general conflict of the powers may
result from the conflicting interests in
emma, and he believes that an attempt on
Ine part OF some powers to partition the
Ceiestlal empire among themselves would
pc sufficient grounds for the United
States TO resort to arms
General Miles also believes that the dis
memberment of China will hold the pos
slb4l1ty of a great danger to the United
states, in that the time might come when
the European nations would turn their
covetouS faces towards the riches of Am
erica and be tempted to combine against
this country.
SO far as l can see, the most hopeful
indication is the chance that Russia and
the United States will agree to act to-
gether, said the general There is TO
my mind, every reason to believe that
Russia is acting in good faith. Russia
has more to gain by the preservation of
the integrity OF the Chinese empire than
she has by the policy of disruption She
mas spent vast sums of money in the con-
structiOn of the trans-Siberian railway
the greatest enterprise of modern times
