So I just wanted to tie everything together. I may have posted this link before from Ainslee's Magazine dated March 1901. On page 102 it has further proof that General Miles wanted to replace the Krag-Jorgensen with the Lee. And it also mentions the 10,000 Winchesters. The entire article starts on page 99.
In part the article reads:  "In other words, with war in sight, his proposition was to shut down the Springfield armory altogether, for under the law making appropriations for the army it had been especially provided by Congress that the Krag-Jorgensen rifle and no other was to be made."

Also note that in BR's reply above that the report only referred to General Miles as "the Commanding General of the Army" and didn't dignify him by name.

Such was the political world surrounding the Krag-Jorgensen.
