Charles T. Barney who sought an injunction

MILES ONLY TO INSPECT.
NOT TO INTERFERE IN DIRECTION OF
PHILIPPINE TROOPS-HE ALTERS
SECOND APPLICATION

washington, Aug 26-The War Department
this afternoon gave out the order issued to Lieu
tenant General Miles to go to the Philippines.
II is signed by William Cary Sanger, Acting
Secretary Of War. and is follows:
War Department, August 26. 1902.
Sir: I have the honor to state that your ap-
pncation for authority to inspect that portion
nj the army serving in the Philippines is ap-
nroved by the President You will sail about
September 10 and in inspecting the condition
Of the army, will give particular attention to its
instruction and discipline and to supplies of all
kinds
It is an understanding that, though Of su-
nerior rank General Miles will not interfere
in any way with either General Chaffee his
successor, General Davis. in the direction of
The troops in the Philippines. He will critically
examine the conditions he finds them. de-
voting his attention entirely 10 matters of army
administration and not TO political affairs. and
the results of his work will be embodied in a
set of reports. Some such work as this was un-
dertaken a few months ago by Inspector Gen
eral Breckenridge, who has prepared volum-
inous set Of reports. which have yet been
published. making suggestions for the better
rnent Of the military service. Leaving America
about September 10. and allowing month for
q tour of inspection of the principal islands Of
the archipelago, General Miles should return
10 Washington early in January next.
II has developed that General Niiles's applica-
ton 10 go to the Philippines was of compare
lively recent date. and was in no way connect
ed with his request of several months ago. When
the first application was made il was coupled
with certain suggestions 70 terminating the
war and Secretary Roots refusal to grant the
first request based largely upon chose
rhases Of the applica ton. In view Of this. ii is
understood that General Miles restricted his sec
oud application so as to make the trip one for
purely military purposes. General Miles VIII
return by the Eastern route, which insures his
visiting Europe his way back 10 America
II is expected that Mrs. Miles will accompany
the general the Philippines, and il mas be
that his married daughter. who is the Wits Of
Colonel Reber one Of the generals aids. also
will accompany the party.
