Miles Ignores Alger Charges.

General Nelson A. Miles at Washington declines to make a reply to the criticisms of General Alger, and will not discuss the passages in the latter’s book which reflect upon him. His friends heartily indorse his decision to treat the whole matter as a closed Incident, and say that he is taking the right course in not heeding what they term “a voice from the grave.” They consider General Alger’s retirement, the punishment of General Eagan and General Miles’ advancement by act of congress to the grade of lieutenant general as full vindication of the latter.
