General Miles is making a general
tour OF inspection OF the Army. His
work here will be completed today and
he will continue on his way to the Phil
ippines at noon tomorrow. II might
be mentioned Just here that he has alb
solute command of the movements Of
the transport on which he is a passen-
ger. shall be.
General Miles went down the road
this morning for the purpose of look
ing at the sites for Notifications at
Pearl Harbor. where the naval station
Is to be placed. II possible. he will
also go to the site proposed for per-
manent barracks.
The quartermaster of the post here,
Captain Mex. Williamson, had every
army wagon available on the brisk
trot yesterday afternoon. II is the
same way today. Each one OF these
Is drawn by four mules and the turn
outs look splCk and span.
Every man aboard the Thomas
swears by General Miles. Said a civil
ian passenger this morning: Il take
my hat off to General Miles. When
we went aboard the transport at San
Francisco. We all thought that there
would of course be cLalk line drawn
for the general and his staff. beyond
which none of us might dare venture
/ but that theory melted away like morn
ing dew and we found that everybody
could go everywhere and do just as
Everybody else was doing. There was
no chalk line, no restraint only just d
welding of all hands into one happy
family and the establishment OF a bon
camaraderie that has lasted through
out the trip. General Miles Is the most
democratic Republican have ever run
across. One feels absolutely no incli-
nation to bow and kow tow upon com
ing near him. Rather Is there an i'm
pulse to rush forward, take the old SOL
der by the hand and say how glad one
is to see him looking so well.
Shortly after the arrival of the trans
port yesterday. a Hawaiian lady went
aboard. She had a number of leis and
walking up to General Miles. handed
him one. He thanked the lady court
eously and then proceeded to decorate
himself with 1t. by force of habit plac.
ing 1t over his shoulder. across his
breast and under the opposite arm.
A big dance Is to be given at tho
Hawaiian hotel this evening In honor
OF General Miles and the officers aboard
the transport. \ fine time is expected
