It doses with in appeal lo "stop making j cqllltary figureheads, and to 'put a real "Miff in command.' The letter Is . - headed: *By Poultney Bigelow. Spe- i clal correspondence of the London 1 Times/ and although I hnve not found the letter In the London Times, such an article going all over Europe as hsvlng 1 been launched by the British Thunderer i and indorsed by the New York Herald, < which caters to Europe, cannot fall to I Injure America and its cause. < "A publication of General Miles' re- . cord might .aid to olTset the mischief t created by the Herald." 1 As an American citizen of English J deseent, I ask permission to attempt < ? correction through your columns of I certain impressions which have gone to J Europe regarding the United States,and < the officials upon whom devolves the dotr of conducting the war with Spain. One result of this conflict Is the Increase of tfordial and friendly relations between Great Britain and this country; ' bat the reports which have gone abroad ( and which are being circulated by re- j epectable newspapers (so-called) have . not tended to foster and encourage 1 friendship, Inasmuch a9 they reflect up- < on,the general commanding the forces < In the field. < The conquests at Mtanlln and at San- < tlago de Cuba -were not accidents, and they olight in a measure to disprove the charges of inefficiency. But the specific ? charge that General Miles is without ' military training ought to be met J equarely by the specific facts which should have the widest circulation. 1 Thef are interesting, and they may ' prove an incentive to the rising gener- 1 ation. Their publication is made the < more necessary because no extended bi- < ography of the general- has ever been f published. < 1 * ?'? .hUwI, <1ia Mlttll war Vol. i A1 I lie uuiUICan wi tus VI'U > ? .... j son A. Miles was a clerk In a counting i bouse Id Boston. At bis own expense < he raised a company of one hundred { men, which he tendered to the nation, J with his services. But he was only twenty-two years of age; and, being deemed too young to command it, he went to the front as lieutenant. And : yet, at the end of thirteen months, he j was a full-commissioned colonel, commanding a regiment In the field, end In J about three years thereafter he commanded the Second corps in the Army 1 of the Potomac. This was the largest and hardest worked corps in that array.whlch formed a battle line around ' Richmond twenty-six miles long, was always the nearest to the enemy and ' was the corps to which General Lee sent his offer of surrender. And. furthermore, General Miles managed his command eo successfully that General ; Grant personally recommended the young major general ti> President Abraham Lincoln for his gallantry, as Gen- i erallleade. who commanded at Gettysburg, had already done. If history records the name of any other general who successfully managed 25,000 men on the battlefield at the early age of twenty-flva years x do not know that name. It Is true, as charged, that General Miles was not educated et West Point. It la equally true that he had the advantage of a higher "military training" than any military academy In the world could give. His school was on the march and in the battlefield; In th<* trench, the camp and the fort.Hcation. In bis school theory gave way to practice; the imaginary to the realistic; tha blackboard exercises to veritable object lessons. The course ?f was longer than the ordinary academic; it was more thorough, also, and the curriculum was more extended. Moreover, the regular was supplemented by a post-graduate course. The young hero who was thrice wounded and who was four times brcvetted for gallantry on the battlefield; who had comoaieu me ijew, mu uuus.ii.'vn Stonewall Jackson; who had fought in &d the battles which engaged the army 4 of the Potomac, excepting onf, from which he was restrained by a wound; who had especially distinguished himself at the battle of the Wilderness and Spottyslvanla Court House. 1st raited to meet the Klowas. the Comanche*, thSioux, the Net Perces, the Hannoclt* and the Apaches, under such chieftain' as Sitting Bull, Crnxy Horse.

Hancock the Superb, Fighting Joe Hooker and the Immortal CJrant. ' For diplomas he ha4 his commissions, which Included every grade from lieutenant of volunteers to major general In the regular ??stabllKhment commanding all th<? armies of the United States. To these were added his postgraduate degrees In the shnpe of the rote* of thanks of four h'giflatures.state and territories. In addition to a congressional medal of honor, the people of Arlxoha gave him a Jeweled sword; for General Miles finally subdued the Indian trlb<-s and retired them to their reservations, where they now live In peace and quiet, whereas they had been a continual menace to our frontier over Trtlin Smith n.-ftlr-il nt milCtr v.?|....... . .. _ ...
