Their Reception by Root
Tension Revealed

Washington. March 31.-The CORE
spondence between Secretary of War
Root and Lieutenant General Miles
resulting from the latter's request that
he be permitted to assume control of
the army in the Philippines, was laid
before congress Saturday. The CORE
spondence reveals Enthusiastically the
tension between the lieutenant general
and the war departmnt. General Miles
proposed to go to the Philippines, TAX
ing with him Porto Ricans and Gu
bans, who We're to show the Filipinos
the beneficence of United States
government, and he was to bring back
representative Filipinos to confer with
the government. He claimed credit
for the visit to Washington of the dele
CATION from the Cuban constitutional
convention.
Secretary Root was evidently an
noyed ut the generals proposal and
his reply is pretty sharp. 1t was also
condemnatory of the plan and of the
spirit of the generals letter. He also
declared that it was General Wood
who arranged for the visit to Wash
ington of the Cuban delegates. The
secretary also states that two years
ago General Miles proposed that the
United States might send $4,000 sol
diers to China-mOre than any other
one power proposed to send-and up
ON that score claim command of the
| allied forces. The secretary further
declared that General Miles requested
| the war apartment 10 obtain for him
| the supreme command of the forces

sieged legations in Picking.
