At Charleston General Miles went on board the Yale, which had been the City of Paris of the Ameri can line. He left Gen.

General, Miles proceeded to Cuba on the Tale and after staying there a few days went to Guanlca on the southern coast of Porto lUco.

The Cherokee, another Plant liner, took the staff to Ppnce, and among others on that ves sel was the late Blchard Harding Da Tta, who had sailed from Cuba on a dispatch boat. Tho Cherokee arrived off Ponce the next morning to find that the city had been taken the previous riny by an ensign of the navy in a dis patch yacht. "A few days later the protocol end ing the war was declared and most of the members of the ftfiles party sailed back for the States on the Obdam, a transport that had been purchased from the Holland-American ltne.

"The curlons part of the thing Is that the Tale was sunk in some man ner; tbe Obdam ran ashore off the coast of Cnba while In the transport service ; the Cherokee foundered some where in the Atlantic and now the Grand Duchess, rechrlstened the Caro lina, has been sent to the bottom by m German U-boat." .?

"Before making reply to the request of the imperial Germau government, and iu order that the reply shall be as can did and straightforward as the momen tous interests involved require, the Pres ident Of the United States deems it ne ce.sujnry to assure himself of the exact, meaning of, the note of the imperial chan cellor.
