As soon this waa aecomplished the Presi- said he desired to have a gen alreview of the Santiago army in Nyon York City, and expected to toes it. After the review, the plonteeras at Montauk will be gradu- ily disbandcd,while the regulars will nuntil cool weather and then ,o to their regular posts. The Pres- ident desires Gen. Wheeler to take mmand of the whole camp, while en. Young will command the regu ars. Atths conclusion of his service wcommander at Montauk, General Wheeler will resign his eommission iathearmy- This will occur some time before the November election After he left Congress and went tnto thearmy, @ movement was started jnGen. Wheelers district to run Someone else for the seat. The wiriotiam of the people resented this. The opposition collapsed, and tow Gen. Wheeler is to be re elect- id, with practical unanimity. The political situation in his district is very agreeable to the General. CUBAN PATRIOTS The President was particularly wriovs for an opinion on the Cuban pitriote. Gen. Wheeler explained hisyiews, and they were different from some of the harsh oriticisms which have come from Santiago. Hetold the President that a great deal depended upon the handling of fihese people. The trouble, he thought, had arisen largely from the inability of the Cubans to under stand what was said to them. “Few of the Cubans,” explained Gen, Wheeler, can talk English. Communication between them and the American troops are very diffi- ult. It was charged that they re- fused to work on the roads and to do other things asked by the Americans giuring the Santiago operations. I tink the refusals to some extent Were due to misappreknsions as to the necessity for it was made clear fothem by interpreters. When a tituation isexplained to them care- fully and patiently they become sat- isfied and appreciative. If properly handled, the Cubans, in my opinion, will obey orders. Speaking a differ- ent tongue and having different ideas and sentiments, it is easy for the Cubans to misunderstand become offended. The President urged upon Gen. Wheeler his desire that the restora tion of the health of the men of Montauk should bathe first consid eration, He suggested the greatest amount of liberty consistent with dis- tipline and not too much drilling and The President does not want to send | home alot of invalids. He hopes thata few weeks will entirely re- store the strength and enthusiasm of the corps which bore the brunt at Santiago. VISITS ALGFB. : After his interview with the Pres ident Gen. Wheeler went to the War Department and received full au- thority to carry out the President’s Policy toward the veterans. He Was told to spare nothing that would alleviate the condition of the sick tad wounded. At the department Gen. Wheeler bad another talk about the Cubans. He told Secretary Al- er that he believed amicable rela- tions with the Cuban soldiers would Come from the present friction. He defended the Cubans, speaking of theirtprivations and suffering, their different language and custome, their entire ignorance of the inten- tion of the United States. All that & neccessary, in Gen. Wheeler's Spinion, is a better understanding to bring about better relations. Gen.

New York, Aug. 17 —Tammany Hall bas decided to make Dewey the presidential candidate in 1900. This morning’s Telegrapb, Dick Croker’s personal organ, says: | “Make Dewey President in 1900. Dewey is an American of the purest strain. Dewey's politics is all written in perfect time and tune. The repub- discussed the war situation with animation, expreseing the greatest satisfaction at the exploits of the army and navy, and was particularly gratified because Generals Wheeler and Butler, two well-known confed- erates, had been afforded an oppor- tuvity to show to the world to how complete an extent the animosities of the civil war had been obliterated. “But when we come to look at the | other side,” said the senator, “it is pitiable, too, to believe that in not | ope instance have the Spanish proved | wortby in battle. In a war of three | months there were two battles that | will be remembered so long as war | is interesting to mankind. “Nothing could be much worse to | soldiers than the report of the at- tempted resignation of Gen.

Topeka, Kan, August 18 —Ely Adams, a carpenter, went into the! office of M. B. Campbell to day to| pay a mertgage of $19. When Campbell took the mortgage from a safe Adams snatched it out of his hand, at the same time putting a revolver to his head and demanded a release. When Campbell wrote out the releass and signed it Adams sent his son to the register of deeds’ office to have it recorded. He still kept the revolver to his head, and when Campbell asked him why he held him up any longer, Adams said: “Wher my bey comes back and says that the mortgage is released I'll blow your brains out.” Campbell saw that Adams was crazy and decided to take chances in a fight. Adams shot at him once, but a screaming typewriter attracted men in a neighboring office and Adams was disarmed and taken to jail. Itis thought that he worried himself into insanity over the mort- gage. MASSACKED. In the Beitry of a Church at Ciecles.
