THE ORDER TO MILES,
Will Inspect the Army in the
Philippines.
He Will Leave About The Fifteenth Of Septem.
Der, The Order an Answer to His
Application.
(By the Associated Press.) )

| (By the Associated Press.)
| Washington, Aug 26.-The War Depart
mont today gave out the order issued
| TO Lieutenant General Miles to go to the
| Philippines. 1t is signed by William
Carey Sanger, Acting Secretary of War,
and is as follows:
"Nar Department, August g. 1902.
"Sir:I have the honor to state that
your application for authority to inspect
that '.o.ton of the army serving in the
Philippines is approved by the President.
You will sail about the 18th OF Septem-
Der and III inspecting the condition OF
army will give particular attention to
| its instruction, discipline and 70 supplies
| Of all Fl:dS.''
| 1t is the understanding that in that
capacity. though of superior rank. Gem
eral Miles will not interfere in any way
with either General Chaffee or his sue
| cessor General Davis, in the direction
OF the army in the Philippines. He Will
critically examine the conditions as he
| finds them. devoting his attention en-
| tirely to matters of army administration
and not to political affairs. and the re-
suits of his work will be embodied in
| set of reports. Some such work as this
was undertaken a few months ago by
| Inspector General Breckenridge, who has
prepared a voluminous set of reports,
which have not yet been published, MAX
| ing suggestions for the betterment of
| the military service at every point from
| transportation down to discipline. ac-
coutrements and supplies.
In the absence from Washington Of
General Miles no one at army headquar
| ters is fully authorized to discuss the
details of his projected trip. But it is
believed here that he will be accompanied
I by at least two members on his staff
namely Lieut.. Colonel Whitney and Colo
mel Reber. the latter his son-in- law.
Colonel Maus. who i sthe inspecting Of
| ficer of the staff also may accompany
General Miles if his health which is
somewhat impaired at present, permits.
General Miles application to go to the
Philippines is of comparatively recent
date, and is in no way connected with
his application of several months ago.
When the first application was made it
was coupled with certain suggestions as
to terminating the war, and Secretary
Roots refusal to grant the first request
was based largely upon these phases of
the application. In view of this, it is
understood that General Miles restricted
his second application so as to make the
trip one for purely military purposes.
1t is expected that Mrs. Miles will ac-
company the General to the Philippines
and it may be that his married daughter,
who is the wife OF Colonel Reber one
of the Generals aides, will also accom-
pany the party.
Leaving about September 18th, and al
lowing a month for a tour of inspection
of the principal islands of the archipeI-
ago, General Miles should return to
Washington early in January next.

Haverhill, Mass, Aug. 26.-President
Roosevelt WAS greeted here by crowd
which packed the route through which
he was driven from station to Washing
ton Square where he delivered a twenty
minnie address, and filed all available
space around the stand from which he
spoke. This being the home of Secretary
of the Navy Moody. the President devo-
ted his remarks to the navy. He said:
The entire country is vitally inter-
Csted in the navy, because an efficient
navy of an adequate size is not only the
hest guarantee of peace, but it is also
the surest means for seeing that if war
docs come the result will be honorable
TO our good name and favorable to our
national interests. Any really great ma
tion must be peculiarly sensitive to two
things: stain on the national honor at
home AMI disgrace to the national arms
abroad. Our honor at home our honor
in domestic and International affairs is
at all times in our keeping and depends
simply upon the national possession of
an awakened public conscience But the
cDly way to make safe our honor as af-
fected, not by our own deeds but by the
deeds Of others, is by readiness in adj
vance.
1--WE must constantly endoavor to per-
feet our navy in all it's duties in time
of peace and above all in manoeuvering
in n seaway and in craftsmanship with
the great guns. In battle the only shots
that count are those that hit and marks
manship is a matter of long practice and
Of intelligent reasoning. A navy's eff
cheney in a war depends mainly upon it's
preparedness at the outset CT that war
We are rot to be excused as nation if
there is not such preparedness of our
navy. No nation has a right to undertake
big task unless it is prepared to do it
in n,asts srful md effective style. 1T would
be an intolerable humiliation for us to
embark on such a course of action as
followed frora our declaration of war
ith Spain and not make good our words
by deeds. not be ready to prove our truth
by our endcavor whenever the need calls.
The good work of building up the navy
must g on without ceasing. The modern
Nyarship cannot with advantage be al
lowed 20 rust in disuse. 1t must be used
up in active service even in time of
peace. This means that there must be a
constant replacement of the ineffective by
'ne effective. The work OF building up
and keeping up our navy is therefore one
which needs our constant and unfagging
vigilance"
