GEN. MILES RESUMES RIs DESK.
No Outward Indications of Recent

Lieut.. General Miles resumed his duties
in command of the army at his office in
the War Department this morning So far
as he was concerned there were no outward
indications Of the rupture which has oc-
CURED between him and the Secretary Of
War as a result Of the severe rebuke re-
Gently given to General Miles because Of his
outspoken sentiments in regard to the
Sampson -Schley controversy. There is no
Disgusting the fact that the former cordial
relations existing between the two officials
have been severely strained by the recent
episode, and that unless there is an un-
lcoked-for change Of sentiment on the part
of both, their future relations will be prac-
tically confined TO formal communications
on official business.
1t is said that General Miles has decided
to accept the situation with the best pos
sible grace and will say or do nothing to
continue the controversy. So far as known
the incident will cause no decided change in
his prearranged plans, official and social,
for the future.

Department has made the following i'm
portant official opinion:
1.-The insurrection in the Philippines
against the sovereignty of the United
States and the authority of the government
of the Philippine Islands Is Of such char
acter and extent as requires the United
States to prosecute it's rights by military
force. and therefore creates the condition
of war in said archipelago
The claim in question is that of First
Lieut.. Horton w. Sickle, corps of engi-
neers, for S123.34 for certain books lost en-
route from West Point, N. Y, to Manila
Philippine Islands, under shipment by the
quartermaster's department. The books
were the personal property Of Lieut.
Sickle, and it appears they were included
in large portion Of the cargo of the trans
port Centennial. thrown overheard in order
to tighten that vessel when 1t ran aground
off the coast Of northern Luzon, Philippine
Islands.
Secretary Root has recommended to the
Secretary OF the Treasury that Lieut.
Sttckle's claim be included in the recon-
mendations to Congress respecting the gen.
eral deficiency bill.
