BREACH OF CONFIDENCE
PUBLICATION IN REGARD TO
GENERAL NILES PLANS
President and Secretary Of War In
dignant-Tying to Discover
the Leak.

1t is understood that the President and
the Secretary Of War are indignant at the
publications in regard to Lieut.. Gen. Miles
plans for the pacification OF the Philip
pines and an investigation has been in
stituted. 1t is said. to fix the responsibility
for the alleged breach of confidence. The
entire matter was disposed OF nearly a
month ago and was regarded as closed
incident
It Is said that there was an understand
ing between the President and General
Miles that nothing should be made public
In regard to 1t, and In order to guard 1t as
an official secret only a few persons were
taken into confidence. Consequently there
was genuine surprise when the facts be-
came public.
All the Papers Called For.
In view of the fact that the original pub
lication represented that Gen. Miles had
been snubbed or severely rebuked by the
President, 1t is not regarded as a reason
able supposition that the information was
made public by him. but rather by some
person or persons inimical to his interests.
Neither the Secretary of War nor Gen.
Miles, nor, in fact. any of the leading Off
cials of the War Department. will say any
thing for publication in regard to the mat
ter.
1t was learned from other sources. how
ever, that the President has called for all
the papers in the case and is considering
the advisability of making them public,
with a view to showing the facts and pre-
venting further misunderstanding of the
matter.
Rumors Of Retirement.
Rumors of all kinds are in circulate tion to-
day as to the possible outcome. the most
significant one being to the effect that the
President may take advantage Of his pre-
negatives and place General Miles on the
retired list. He can exercise this power un-
der the law in the case Of an officer over
the age Of sixty-two years.
Gen. Miles reached that age last August,
but unless sooner retired by the President
will continue in his present Office until Au-
gust, 1903, when he reaches the statutory
age limit of sixty-four years. So far as
can be ascertained in official circles. how
ever, the President has shown no DISPOSE
tion to take such summary action in Gen.
Miles case.
Another rumor was to the effect that
one of the houses of Congress unless 1t is
made public voluntarily by the President
There is a possibility that this latter course
may be adopted, now that a portion of the
correspondence has leaked out, as 1t is un-
derStood that both sides are equally will
ing that 1t should be made public.
