Miles and staff, Maj. Greenleaf, Capt. Whitney, the Second Reg- iment of Wisconsin Volunteers, consisting of 30 officers and 800 men and thé Hospital Corps: from Porto Rico, arrived heré to- day. Mrs. Miles, son and daughter were On bodrd the transport, which sailed from Ponce on Sept. 1. The surg in charge reported all well and no sickness or deaths during the voyage. The troops were in the best of spirits. The big transport was dec intel profuse- ly with palms and draped with flags. Krom the fore truck was flying the American en- Sign over a large Spanish flag, while long strings of International code flags. were floating from each m: isthead to the rails. Gen. Miles admitted — to the Associated Press reporter who interviewed him while the Obdam was lying off Liberty Island, the substantial accuracy of the statement attributed to him by the Kansas City Star's correspondent at Ponce, Porto Rico. “There are,”’ Gen. Miles said to the news- paper men about him, ‘*‘a few minor inac- curacies in the published reports, such usually occur in such itterviews. I do not care to point out the inaccuracies referred to at this time; they are unimportant. “It is true that [ requested that my troops in Porto Rico on their return home should be allowed to camp-somewhere near New York, preferably Brooklyn He'ghts, Wor: Wadsworth or Governor's tsland. | also requested of the War Department that the troops be allowed to march through New York City. ’ “I never intended to parade myself, as I ehell go to Washington in a few days and would not be here at the time of the con- termpiated parade. “IT asked that the Wisconsin men aboard the Obdam be permitted to stay in this vicinity for a day or two to give thom chance to see the city. It would do no harm to let these western boysS get a glimpse of New York. Surely they merit it. Many of them, I think, have never seen the city and perhaps will never have en- othe r opportunity to see it. “To my first request, namely, that my troops be permitted to camp hereabouts in the “neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights and ‘that they be allowed to parade, I have re- ceived no reply. To my second request 1 recelved a reply at Quarantine this morn- ing, ordering the Wisconsin boys home forthwith.- The men will go from the trans- ports directly to the cars. “IT shall stay in the city to transact some business and will then proceed to Washington. Gen. Wilson's di- vision will reach New York in a day or two. I think. They will come on the transports ®* Mississippi, Manitoba, Alamo and Concho. The last will carry Gen. Wilson and his headquarters,”’ The nine companies of the consin Volunteers, which reached day on board the transport eon as al a day or two Second Wis- port to- Obdam, were ; glories of iter also ° vards in Weehawken, where a special train Was waiting to convey them westward. said that he did not desire to conduct of any officer engaged He expressed the opinion there had been too much criticism, complaint and condemnation published already and that the public had lost sight of the success and the war. He did not care to en- into a general discussion of the events or the war beyond the written | which he had prepared during on the Obdam and which he has now given vut for publication. He will go to ington to-morrow morning. Gen. Miles declared that the health of the troops still in Porto Rico ts good. He said that he considered the island «a most charming country, but that he is greatly pleased to return the United States, Gen, Miles gave to the representatives of the press a typewritten document treating of the prosecution of the war with Spain. The paper is written in the form of an in- terview with the General. In it the Gener- al is represented as recalling to mind that in a public statement made at the begin- ning of the. war, referring to the talk of a rush for the fever-stricken city of Havana, he Said: “No officer fs fit to command troops aon Miles eriticise the in the war. (yen, to from any motive whatever would needle ly risk ‘life of a single soldier. eithe fré disease or bullets of the enemy. I hi never secrificed the lives of men under mv command, and do not propose to subject them to any -unnecessary risks in the present campaign.’’ further along in the document given out to-day says: the fact that the season suited for cam- paigning i Cuba had been exhausted in debates and delay in Congress, and in neces- sary preparations, Gen, Miles was opposed to rushing an ill-prepared, undisciplined and unequipped army tin movement ugainst the capital of Cuba, defended bv 100,000 trained Spanish troops, and in this position he stood practically alone for sev- eral weeks. Havana, Matanzas, Santiago and a few other points were drawn on_his military map as hotbeds of dise ase, de- structive to an army and places to be avoid- ed, especially during et sickly season, MILES’ CHARGES. The Offenses of Which the Secretary of Was Is Accused. sHINGTON. Sept. 7.--The Gen. Miles has’ rekindled interest his controversy with Secretary Alger. The country may soon know more of it and be more able to judge of its merits. The accusations which Miles have made against Alger are follows: That although he (Miles)-was officially recognized as the general commanding al] the American forces, the adjutant-genera! sent a secret dispatch to Gen, Shafter for the purpose of giving him (Shafter) a con- trary opinion. 2. That the War Department. mutilated and suppressed dispatches calculated to put him (M-les) and the army in a false light before the peopie. Ss.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—Miss Mare Astor Chanler is sick in Porto Rico in t} hospital which she established there with her own funds for the care of stricken soldiers.

Miss Chanler’s fortune ‘s very large. Her personal income isn $30.000 a year. She !s the great-great- granddaughter of the first John Jacob Astor, and related by blood and marriage to most of the aristocratic families of New York. She was sent to Ponce and established a hospital at her own-expense. There she has worked hard ever since the American army took the city of Ponce, with no one to help her but one woman. The hospital that she founded is fu.l of sick men, and tt can be imagined that with only one to assist her Miss Chanier has had a hard time of it.

It is said he has abandoned all hopes of Winning his fight with the St. Louis metro- politan and that he [{s anxious to retire gracefully from the struggle. Monsignor Martinelli’s recent letter to Archbishop Kain, commenting on Father Tuohy’s failure to obey his superior’s or- ders, is taken as prima facie evidence that St. (Patrick’s former pastor has little ehance of winning his case, All the papers in the celebrated contro- versy have been referred from Rome to the papal delegate at Washington for final settlement. A close friend of Archbishop Kain's sald Wednesday: “We have good reason to believe that Father Tuohy is anxious to leave St. Louis. He cannot enter another diocese without authority from Mgr. Martinelli. His plan will be, however, I understand, to get charge of a country parish from Arch- bishop Kain, then resign and get a mission to another diocese. Miss Mary Tuohy, a sister of Father Tuohy, was seen at the parochial residence, 1205 North Sixth street, Wednesday. She don’t think there is a word of truth in this talk about my brother leaving St. Louis. He has toc many friends here, and there would be little advantage for him in going to a strange city. The fact of the matter is he has won his case, and enemies are circulating reports to the contrary.

It Had Been Charged That Richard Broad, the Deposed Officer, , Was Working for Wolcott, and His Opponents Estab- lished an Arsenal in the Opera-House. ,™ - COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Sept. 7. The political war between the two factions of the Silver Republican party resulted this morning in the death of Charles Harris of Denver, due to an attempt by the Broad faction to capture the Op:ra House, which Was guarded by the Sprague faction. At 4 0’clocK a rush was made by 7) or 100 of the Broad men from both front and rear of the building and the Sprague men who held possession in repelling the attack fired a volley into tkeir assailants. Harris fell with a bullet through the abdomen. Several arrests have been made. The man who fired the shot which struck Harris Is unh- doubtedly in custody, but his name can not now be ascertained To-day’s clash between the factions was preceded by the action of National Chair- man Towne in removing Richard Broad from the chairmanship of the State Com- mittee on the ground of ‘disloyalty to the Silver Republican party and the cause it stands for,” it being alleged that he had joined in a conspiracy with friends of Sen- ator Wolcott to defeat the proposed fusion w:th Democrats and Populists. Charlies 8S. Sprague, representing the Tel- ler and Towne delegates, obtained posses- sion of the opera house in which the con- vention is to meet to-morrow and rerused to surrender it at the demand of ex-Chairman Broad. Mr. Sprague is editor of the Colo- rado Springs Evening Telegraph. Charles Harris came to Colorado five years ago from Omaha, where he formerly held the office of Deputy United States Marvhal. He is a carpenter by trade, about 32 years old and has a wife and two chil- dren in Denver. Fora time he was a mem- ber of the Denver fire department. Harr's died soon after he was sot. An- other man was struck in the cheek by the same bullet that killed Harris. Sheriff Boynton and Chief Gathright took control of the Opera House and made a thorough The Sheriff said they discovered a The officers re- search. whole arsenal in the building seized six Winchester rifles and ten volvers. The Opera House is now in possession of the police deputy sheriffs and adherents of ex-( ‘hairm: in Broad. No one is allowed to approach the doors. James A. Howsee, Walter Russell, J. J. Lang and A. C. Smith, of the party in the hall, were arrested, The sliding doors which form the en- trance to the auditorium show the effects cf the shooting. The right hand door as the room is entered is perforated with the bullets from Winchesters, and a ball also lodged in the left door. Both doors were fired into from the inside of the room, and are about as high as a man's head from the floor. aa At 1 o'clock this morning the Wolcdtte Broad faction applied to Judge Lunt for @ of mandumus compelling Chairman was appointed by National Towne to succeed Chairman to turn the building over Broad. The writ was re- writ | Blood, who | (Chairman | Broad, removed, to ex-Chairmean , fused. **At | Plumb, “we this morning,’ sald ex-Mayor were inside the opera house, There were 22 of us. Suddenly a fusillade of shots was fired through both the front and side doors. Then in a second the doors were burst open and’‘in rushed from 7 to | 100 men. “There was constent firing In all parts of the hall, we replying as best we could. I saw one man fall, shot through the lungs. They carried him to the baleony and laid him down. He died a.few minutes after- ward. Another man was injured, . ' “We were forced out of the building, Sheriff Boynton and Ghtief of Police Gathe right were in the front ranks of the ate tacking party.” The police and Sheriff's officers claim that the attack was made entirely by men brought from Denver. They say the rushed in after the attack began. a peculiar fact, however, that all of them were on hand. Chairman Blood has issued a statement in whch he saya rumors had reached » him that ex-Chairman Ste- vens 7 one De sighs PO ioe ; %.. ranged with a gang o ugs to come ™ Denver and co-operate with Sheriff W. - Boynton and the police of Colofado 8 pring in seizing the Convention Hall and ernie it over to the anti-Teller faction eo that they may organize and control the conven- tion to-mnorrow. Mr. Blood says that the armed fords which entered the opera house was hea by Sheriff W. 8. Boynton, Frank Howhbeft, Collector of Internal Revenue, and lice- men in uniform, and thet four or five of the men who were in possession of the hall 'were arrested without any warrant or pro~ cess of law whatever and thrown into jail. Ex-Chairman Broad says he was justified in. taking forcible possession of the opera house under a lease made with him Aug. 2 last, which Manager Nye violated by turn- ing it over to Charles 8.
