Indians of that country had settlers ter

prises had been abandoned. In the year
the hostile Indians had killed 80 persons.
Gen Miles began an active campai ga.
The hostiles were at that time under
Chiefs Geronimo and Natchez
By the terms of the treaty with Mex

TO follow the trail OF Indians south or

pedition TO chase Geronimo into old Mex

OF Capt Lawton, who as a general was
killed IN the Philippines two years ago
Lawton's command was composed OF
picked cavalry and infantry, with pack
train provisioned for two months. There
had been a raid in Old Mexico.

invaded the United States and killed a
few settlers. The Indians were chased
into the Pinto Mountains and in May

in going over the roughest mountains was
10 abandon their horses after they had
broken down. cross on foot and steal

troops, IN order 10 pursue them, were
obliged To send their horses around the
impossible mountain heights and follow
the trail on foot.

terms. Sitting Bull said he would come
to trade for ammunition. but wanted no
rations or money and desired 10 live as
a free Indian. He gave no assurance
of his good faith. Gen. Miles told him

capped TO the north. where he was joined
later by several other chiefs. Gen Miles
sent out 434 men after him, but the trail

Next morning 500 warriors came to res

Sketch Of Life of GeD@ral NeIgoD A. Miles, Retired

Lieut.-Gen. Nelson Appleton Miles, who
was commanding General of the United
States army, is retired.
During the past year his aides, under
the direction of Colonel Whitney, have
prepared a synopsis of the career of Gen.
Miles from the date Of his enlistment as
captain in the Twenty-second Massa-
chusetts Infantrv on Sept. 9, 1861, until
the concentration of troops in Chicago IN
1894, at the time of the great railroad
strikes. From 1894 to the present refer
ence made to the published reports Of
General Miles
The synopsis was not written by the
aides, but was compiled from official doc
uments at the war department, orders
from generals whom Miles served, and
in part, from reports of Gen. Miles made
of his various campaigns, not only in
the civil war but in the Indian wars,
sigainst Sitting Bull, Geronimo and other
famous warriors. 1t tells in the calm
official language of men VINO were re-
porting TO the secretary of war of the
courage. daring and military genius of
Gen Miles Every word OF it is from
the records, but is as interesting as
sbiflfully written tale of military adven-
ture, and tends TO show the great serv-
fees Gen. Miles has given his country.
The New York World presents, in mar
ratiye form, some of the stories Of the
stirring events in the military life of
Gen. Miles. condensed from this synopsis
prepared by Gen. Miles aides, as pecu-
liarly fitting at this time.
GEN. MILES IN THE CIVIL WAR.
Gen. Miles was enrolled as captain of
Company E, Twenty-second Massachu-
setts Volunteers, on Sept. 9, 1851. He was
then twenty-five years old. His first act
Ave duty came on Feb. 4, 1862, when he
went out with a detail on a scouting ex-
pedition in Fairfax county, Va. He cap
tured several scouts and located the
enemy's cavalry and picket line. He
was in the siege of Yorktown at the bat
tie Of Williamsburg.
1t was at the battle Of Fair Oaks on
June !, 1862 that Gen. Miles, then an aide
on the staff of Gen. Howard, first saw
real fighting. He took the left wing OF
Howard s troops, collected the scattered
companies and fought all day in the open.
He was wounded in the foot. 1t was
severe and hotly contested battle. and
Miles was commended in the report of
his commanding officer.
On June %. 1862, he took an active part
fn the Seven Days battles. He was a
captain then. and of him the command
bng officer said: His activity was inces-
.sant On Sunday he volunteered TO cut
"a road through the woods from Aliens
,garm TO Savage Station, and collecting
sxemen from various regiments soon
made a road practicable for artillery. |
which was undoubtedly the means of
sal living three batteries

Dec Ii to IS, 1852, Miles was a colonel in
command of the Sixty-fourth Regiment
The Wichita daily eagle., 1903-08-09

the main body Of hostiles and young
warriors from the agencies went about
stealing horses on the frontier and muir
dering settlers. 1t was evident from the
constant communication Of the hostiles
with the Indians at the agencies that the
supplies of food and ammunition were
being drawn from those places. To pre-
vent this congress authorized the army
to control the agencies. The plan was
10 disarm and dismount any hostiles who
appeared near the agencies.
| AT this time it was determined to con-
struct two posts in the Yellowstone coun-
| try. 1t was too late to begin operations
that summer. or a temporary post was
built at the mouth of Tongue river, and
Miles. with the Fifth Infantry. was sent
to occupy it.
| 4 wagon train coming to this camp
was attacked by Indians and forced TO
turn back. 1t started again with heavy
Lieut.-Col. E. s. Otis. Eight hundred
| warriors attacked the train on Oct. Is,
near Spring Creek. The escort was strong
| enough TO hold them off until Clear Creek
was reached, from which place the train
had turned back on its first expedition.
The Indians made a most determined at
| tack. They fired the prairie, and the
wagons had to advance through the
flames. The fight lasted all day and that
night
Next day an Indian runner approached
and left on a hill letter from Sitting
Bull the great war chief. The letter was
dated Yellowstone, and read:
Il want to know what you were doing
travelling on this road. You scare all
the bufaloes away l want to hunt in
this place. I want you to turn back from
here. If you don't / will fight you again.
I want you TO leave what you have got
here and turn back from here l am
your friend SITTING BULL.
''P. 81 mean all the rations you have
got and some powder. Wish you would
write as soon as YOU can
Col. Otis sent out a scout named Jack
son with a reply stating that he intended
to take his train through to Gen. Miles,
and that he would give Sitting Bull a
fight any time he desired one. The In
dians kept up fire at long range while the
train proceeded, but after a mile or two
4iuidnS approached Win mug OF truce
They said they were tired, hungry, tired
of war and wanted peace.
Sitting Bull wanted to meet Col. Otis
outside of the lines of the escort. but
Col Otis would not go, and Sitting Bull
sent three chiefs to represent him. Ne
gave the Indians some bread and bacon.
They followed along for a time after his
wagon train and finally disappeared.
Before he reached Tongue river Gen.
Miles came up with his entire command.
His scouts had brought in word Of the at
tack by the Indians and he had come out
to the rescue. When he found where Sit
ting Bull had gone Gen. Miles started
after him and overlook him at Cedar
Creek. Mon. Miles had a personal con-
ference with Sitting Bull who said he

! was recommended by Gen. Hancock for
promotion to a brigadiership. He received
many commentators for his conduct in
the battle of Antietam, but it was left
to the Charlottesville campaign to bring
out his real qualities as a soldier.
Gen. Caldwell, of the First Brigade. in
his report, spoke of the troops comprising
the picket line on May ?, as follows: 'Col.
Miles skirmished all day long with the
enemy, and at p. N. repulsed with sig
nal loss determined attack made in two
columns on each side of the road. I do
not doubt that this repulse Of the enemy,
which kept them from our main line. was
due principally TO the skill and gallantry
of Col. Miles. who with a single line of
skirmishers deployed at three PAGES re-
PEELED a determined attack of the enemy
made in columns, feat rarely parallel
ed"
Miles was severely wounded in the abdo-
men on the next day. 1t was thought
he would die. While he was in the hos
pital Gen Hancock again recommended
his promotion to a brigadier. and later
he received that commission.
Gen. Miles took part in the Gettysburg
campaign, where he had an important
command. and in The Mile Run campaign
from Nov. 26 to Dec. 2 1863. tie was act
lively engaged in the campaign OF the
Wilderness from May II to June T. 1864

served recommended him TO the secre-
tary of war He was in me Richmond

and commanded the First Brigade of the
irst Division of the Second Army Corps
This campaign included the Petersburg
mine operations. He continued through
the Richmond campaign from Aug l to
Dec. 81, 1854
AT the battle of Ream's Station, Gen.
Gibbons was repulsed. In his report
Gen. Hancock said: Affairs at this juno
ture We're in q critical condition and.
but fer the bravery and obstinacy on
the part Of the First Division, and the
fne conduct of their commander (Gsn.
Miles, would have succeeded in rallying
a small force Of the Sixty-first New York
Volunteers and, forming a line at right
angles with the breastworks, swept off
the enemy, recapturing McKnishts guns,
and retook a considerable portion Of his
line"
Again Hancock said: "At this time Gen.
Miles and Gen. Craig offered to retake
their breastworks entire, but Gen. Glib
bons stated that his division could not
retake any of his lines
During the operations from Oct. % to
Oct. IS Gen. Miles held a line several
miles in length with little more than
six thousand men. For his services in

Gen. Miles was in the Appomattox cam

April 2 a few days before the surrender.

Later on the same day Gen. Grant wrote
to Gen. Meade: Miles has made a big
thing of il and deserves the highest
praise for the pertinacity with which
he stuck to the enemy until he wrung
from him victory"
After the war Gen Miles was appoint
ed comma nder of the military district Of
Fort Monroe 1t was during this service
Gen. Miles held Jefferson Davis. the
President of the Confederacy, a prisoner.
He served during the reconstruction per-
iod in the second military district. en-
bracing the states of North and South
Carolina and was in active charge during
the elections in 1867.
THE INDYAN CAMPAIGN
As colonel of the Fifth Infantry Gen.
Miles served under Gen. Shofeld in the
Department of Missouri. His regiment
was distributed along the Kansas Pacific
railroad in half a dozen small forts.
There w.ere various fights with the In
dians during 1870 and 1S71 and in all of
these the Fifth Infantry took an active
part
In 1s74-75 the Indian difficulties began
in earnest. Gen. Miles went out at the
head OF q combined cavalry and infantry
force against the Indians of Camp Sup
ply. Indian Territory. They came upon
the Indians near the head waters Of the
Washita and had q fierce running fight
1874.
On Sept. of the same year, the In
dians attacked Gen. Miles supply train.
and on the 11th and 18th the Indians
harassed some of his scouting parties and
killed several men. On Nov. 8, near Nc
Clelland Creek. Texas. a party of Gen.
Miles soldiers attacked large camp Of
Indians routing them with loss Of much
of their property.
The military operation against the hos
tiles of the Indian Territory were contin-
ued during the winter aud spring OF
1875. Gen Mfies had cosnanand OF the
entire expedition. In speaking OF this
Gem Sheridan said: In the
against the Cheyernes. Kowas
and Comanches, the r1ns4eRders and
worst criminals were separated from the
tribes and sent to Fort Marriott Florida.
This campaign was not only very COM
prehensive, but the moss successful OF
any Indian campaign in this country since
the settlement OF the whites: anu much
credit is due to the officers and nsen en-
gagged in it"
