ASKED TO EXPLAIN
Gen. Miles Interview on the Naval
Controversy,
HIS ACCOUNT OF WHAT Was SAID
Secretary Root Confers With
the President.
TO STOP FURTHER TALK

Secretary Root has determined that the
Sampson-Schiey controversy. which has
tormented the navy since the Spanish war,
shall not invade the army. Therefore, when
his attention was yesterday drawn to an
interview published in Cincinnati paper,
wherein Gen. Miles Is represented to have
commended the special report Of Admiral
Dewey in regard to Admiral Schley, the
Secretary Immediately decided to call upon
Gen. Miles for an explanation
He did this through letter, which was
delivered to the general by hand. This
morning Cen Miles was at the Secretary 8
door almost as soon as the office opened
lie had verbal explanation to make, and
this he accompanied by letter.
Secretary Root took the letter to the
White House and talked with President
Roosevelt over the matter. with view to
deciding whether or not the explanation
was satisfactory.
Department, General Miles called again
upon him, and supplemented his first letter
with further explanatory note. This was
also sent to the White House.
What Gen. Miles Said.
General Miles was seen at his office in
the War Department this afternoon, but
was not disposed to discuss the matter for
publication. When asked concerning the
publication which is the basis for the Of
fcial inquiry now directed to him, General
Miles said that the interview occurred
rather casually, not being prepared with
any purpose of giving it formal authori,
cation and that notes were taken.
Il said," said Gen. Miles, that 1 had
no sympathy with the people who were
apparently trying to destroy the reputa-
tion of a high officer by calling him a
coward, poltroon and imbecile. The re-
marks made by me should not be consid-
cred as referring to any court or to any
department of the government.
They were intended more as an express
sion of depreciation that individuals should
call in question the fidelity and courage
with which an officer had executed the
duties devolving upon him / have the ut
most confidence that In the end President
Roosevelt will do full and impartial JUS
tice to all concerned in the naval contro-
versy."
This is the only statement Gen. Miles
would authorize on the subject, and he was
loath to say even this much, feeling that
one remark would lead to another and bring
ON a controversy which he did not seek.
View of the Explanation.
1t was stated at the War Department
this afternoon that the correspondence
which has passed between Secretary Root
and General Miles in regard to the subject
will be made public later this afternoon.
Although not officially admitted, it is gem
orally understood that General Miles ex-
PLANTATION of the circumstances of the in
terview and of the actual remarks made
by him at that time is accepted as salts
factory to the President and the Secretary
OF War and that the incident is officially
terminated.
