MILES WILL GO TO CUBA.
Date of His Deoarture Not Set But He is
Anxious for It.
Washington, June 24. —General Miks will
go to Cuba accompanied by his staff anJ
direct the military opperations in the field.
Al doubt as to the general's movements
werecleared up today and tbe definite
statement is made that he will jzo to Cuba.
He will not leave thrs week, however,
as has been suggested, nor is it settled
just when he goes.
There is thought to be no emergency to
require an immediate start, as Miles has
the fullest confidence in Shafter, who is
conducting the advance on Santiago, and
the confidence is shared by the president i
and the secretary of war.
There are other important milPary j
movements requiring attention here, in
cluding the preparations for further expe
ditions which go byway of Newport News
and Tampa.
Tampa will again be made the rendez
vous for a large force, and rse department
is securing complete details with a view
to centering another large fleet of trans
ports there. •
Wieh the troops moving to these points
and the expedition wel ladvaneed, General
Miles will then be free to join the army
in the field.
Personally he is most desirous of being
with the the troops, for, as be says to
his friends, he has been with the men for
thirty years and his spirit is with them
now, although circumstance necessitate bis
remaining here for a time.
There is a possibility that he may go
with General Henry’s divisor, when the
Harvard and Yale make the.: - second trip
from Neport News,, but this is quite
doubtful.

beating, but while Birdsong .was enjoying
his show’ of muscular prowess, he was in
terrupted by Policeman Holloman, who
took the negro in charge and telephoned
for the patrol wagon.

sent to the police station. The negro.*was
locked up and was tried before Recorder

costs.

“And why do you like the Venus

answered the girl.—Harlem Life.
