Review of the Trip.

To his intervieWers Gen. Miles said:
Il have been abroad for five months.
I left Sept. Il for the Pacific coast and
there made an inspection of the forts
and the coast defenses from Puget
sound to Southern California.
"On the LIST of October we sailed
on the transport Thomas. We stopped
at Honolulu, the Sandwich islands, and
then sailed for Guam. We touched at
the island, then continued to the Phil
ippines. We spent a month there. I
examined the military situation and
visited the principal stations and forts
and inspected the troops. There were
no serious hostilities at that time. The
10000 troops there were in fine condi-
ton.
From the Philippines" he continued,
I'VE went to Hongkong, Canton, AID
thence to Nagasaki and Yokohama. We
visited the military academy at. Toxic
and saw something of the Japanese
troops.
THE Japanese army is very we'll
equipped and disciplined, and so is the
navy. When I was there they were
discussing the question of raising a
large fund for the equipment of the
navy. In the army they have the most
modern appliances. The Japanese are
efficient in their system. The system
of instruction and routine is much the
same as ours. They pay a great deal
Of attention to drills, physical condition
and gymnaStiC exercises. The corps al
the Toxic academy numbers about as
many cadets as we have at West
Point, and 1T is a we'll constructed and
efficient corps"
Continuing, the general said the par
ty went from Japan to Port Arthur and
thence to Pel1in. Il remained there a
short time. We have there a small de-
tachment of troops-the legation guard
at the capital. Everything there is
quiet. We were accorded an audience
by the emperor and the dowager en-
press. They received US with a great
deal Of courtesy and attention. We
saw the troops of the Chinese army
and the troops of the allied forces
which are still there"

MISCREANTS THROW
SWITCH, CAUSE WRECK
Engineer and Fireman Meet Death at
Their Posts.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Feb. 15-Further
investigation of the Southern railway
wreck, which occurred at Ravensworth,
Va. early this morning, when the New
York and Florida express dashed into an
open switch, confirms the opinion that the
catastrophe was of malicious origin. A.
Gordon Jones. superintendent of the
Washington division of the Southern rail-
way system says the track is known to
have been in perfect shape only a short
time before the wreck and that an in
Vestigation afterward showed that the
lock of the switch had been broken and
taken away. He believes that some enc
my of the road attempted to wreck the
train and that no robbery was intended.
Both Engineer John P}irYfs, of AleXan-
dria, Va, and Walter Wigginton, the fire
man, died at their posts.

HAVANA, Feb. 15.-Four hundred
Americans this afternoon observed the
fifth anniversary of the destruction of
the Maine, proceeding to where the
Maine now lies with a flag draped With
Grape and a wreath which was hung on
the wreck as a tribute to those who
lost their lives in the disaster. Repre-
sentatives of the Cuban Veterans as

and brought the finest of all the floral
offerings.
The exercises were purely memorial,
references calculated to revive ami

States legation was not represented,
Minister Squiers holding that any pos
sibility of stirring up the feelings of
the Spanish residents by public eXer-
cises commemorative of a bitter Incl
dent in the war ought to be avoided.
The Cuban government officials finally
decided not to attend, but a govern

United States artillery corps fioated
across the water as the procession
made its way to the Maine.
After completing the decoration of
the fOrlorn wreck, the boats clustered
around the quartermaster's launch, the
awning deck of which was utilized as
a platform. After a prayer offered
up by the Rev. Mr.. Mcpherson, Gen.
Gomez, the governor of Havana prov

Cuban Veterans association, spoke in
Spanish to the effect that the Cuban
veterans would never permit such an
occasion to pass without testifying

eighty miles from the Marconi station
at Crookhaven. Gen. Miles sent the fol-
low message:
''Midocean greeting, with best wishes
for happiness and health to his majesty
and the royal family"
To which the following reply was
received by cable on the arrival of the
Lucania in port today:
Il have submitted your message to the
king. [ am commanded by his majesty to
for him that it afforded him much graf
ification to receive it at Windsor. (Sign-
ed KnOllys."
With the general were Col. and Mrs.
M. P. Maus, Henry Clark Rouse, New
York; F. B. Wilborg, of Cincinnati;
Mrs. Miles and Sherman Hoyt. Col.

Now to Settle.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 49,
Minister Bowen expects to begin i'm
mediately the preparation of the pro.
tocols with the representatives of the
allied powers for the settlement Of the
claims of the nations who have suffer-
ed as a result of the troubles in Ven
ezuela. There are eight of these claim
ants, including the United States. The
drawing up Of the protocol with this
nation will be the first attended to.
Solicitor General Proctor will repre-
sent the United States in this work. II
is Mr.. Bowen's belief that matters will
now move forward with greater rapid
1ty than they did with the representa-
tives of the allied powers who were
enforcing the blockade against Ven
ezuela. The negotiations with France
will follow those with the United
States and so on until the protocols
with all the unallied creditor nations
shall have been completed.

prevailing opinion in the city that the
return of A. A. Ames was not desired.
So far as the court was concerned,
he did not wish to have such a stigma
attached to that branch of the govern
ment, and if such was the case he
knew nothing about it, and in order
that the position Of the court might
be made clear he instructed the county
attorney to use every means at his
command to secure the return Of Dr.
Ames to this city without any further
delay. All that was necessary for
him to do was to invoke the powers
at his command, and the fugitive
would be returned without delay, as
he had understood from information
at hand that the whereabouts of Ames
was known.
