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. FLANAGAN RESPITED.
