INVESTIGATION

Mm Staal Ulvr Uli Iildrarr.
Washinoton, Septemlier 3S. Il was
learned on good authority tonight thai
General Miles will go before the army j
investigating commission lo testify as lo ,
his knowledge of the Santiago campaign ;
It was also slated that the coniniistmn t
will go lo Santiago to look into Shafh i
management of ihe campaign ami in n j
tigate on the ground all complaints as to
alleged mismanagement in connect
with the different departments now uu
der Investigation.
This is considered a step of the great
est Importance, as it was not believed
that the commission would lake up the
case of (leneral Miles or that of the San
tiago campaign at all, and i.s regarded as
an evidence of the thoroughness witli
which the investigation Is to be made
and the possibility of its touching ihe
highest officers nf tlie War Department
When (leneral Miles was lirst ap
proached by Ihe commission and re
quested to testify before it he did nol
relish the idea at all. (leneral Miles
realized thai sooner or laler there must
lie an investigation into ihe conduct of
the Santiago campaign and a substantia
lion or refutation of his charges Unit lie
had been unfai ly treated. He has pie
pared Ids case with considerable care.
Iledoes not wish to expose his hand
until satisfied that he will receive justice
for what he regards as his w rongs.
The War Di parlmeiil , as represented
by Secretary Alger ami Ail julanl-dencral
Corbin, is prepared for the contest, and
all the correspondence and telegrams
which passed between (ienerals Shafter,
Miles and the War Depaitinenl regard
ing the Saul iago campaign have been
prepared for the use of the commission,
and are ill Secretary Alger's safe, ready
to lie laid before il any time.
Just whnl the commission expects to
do when it goes lo Santiago is nut
known, nor lias any dale been sel for its
departure. Nothing will be done until
next week, and it is not known when
(leneral Miles will go before Ihe com
mission.

this is diilicult to obtain.
SimultanuoiiHly with tlio closing of
the doors at 4 o'eba-k tho first shift of
the night guard goes on duty. The shift
is composed of the captain of the giutrd
and 11 stalwart men. As tho men file
out to begin their round each onti is
bunded a big Colt's revolver of tho most
approved pattern nml loaded with big
cartridges.
From then oil till midnight seven of
thi! 11 guards patrol without cessation
every floor of the inside of the mint, from
the corridors of the gloomy vaults
where, awny down in the earth, nro
stowed eighty odd million dollars in
silver and iilmost as much gold, to tho
top Door, where there is nothing more
valuable than machinery. Placed at fre
quent intervals throughout the corridors
are electrical devices tor enabling the
captain of the guard to keep tabs on his
men. Kach of these litth-machines cnii

t In i mint guards are putrolliuu' up and
