■Cleveland, March 29. - General Nelson .A. Miles arrived in Cleveland from Washington. The general was accompanied by a number of ofFicers of the regular army, who compose the board ■ of orcJnance. The party was met here ty ex-Congxessman Outhwaite, Dr. Gatling and Captain Day. Among those with General Miles was Major Phipps. The gentlemen were at once driven to the works of the Otis Steel company, vhere the big gun designed by Dr. Gatling, is being constructed. It was for the purpose of viewing the mandreling of this gun that the board came to Cleveland. It is expected that this style of gun will be an important factor in coast defense, and the government deemed it best to have skilled officers on the ground while the big gun was internally forged.
