General Miles Says His Statements Are Not
Correctly Given.

General Miles Says His Statements Are Not
Correctly Given.
The news of General Miles state
ments before the military committee
Of the senate excited great interest at
the war department when it became
known there late in the day. There
was 4 very general inquiry as to
whether by passing the criticisms up
on various officials, as reported in the
press, General Miles had not exposed
himself to disciplinary treatment. The
answer to this must be based on the
exact amount of privilege which at
taches to testimony given before a
con -1ittee of congress-.
While General Miles did not expect
when he gave his testimony that it
would be made public in. any form he
is now willing that it shall be pub
liShed by the committee, making him
self the broad statement that the state
ments which were given to the press
as those made by himself before the
committee were misrepresentation
and totally unWarranteG.
Secretary Root exhibited little feel
ing when his attention was called to
the proceedings before the committee.
He remarked quietly that he was very
sorry Lieutenant General Miles op-
posed this bill. He pointed out that
under section Z. of which General
Miles complained. the lieutenant gen
eral would have greatly enlarged pow
ers in army management, instead of
being restricted in his functions. as he
supposed. AS to the question whether
General Miles had said anything which
would require action at the hands Of
the department or the president the
secretary firmly declined to express
any opinion, for the present at least.
preferring to await al official copy Of
the committee hearing before reaching
any decision.
