WHEELER SAYS THE WAR IS NOT ENDED. | i Old Cavalryman Spanish People Will Force Continuance. Believes | | | WHAT THE PRESIDENT THINKS. Decatur, Ala, Sept. 12.—Just | after the funeral of Naval Cadet Thomas Harri=on Wheeler this after- noon, General Wheeler startled a | party of friends by declaring in hi | modest and characteristic manner} that he did not believe the war bs-| tween the United States and Spain had ended. There was a sadness cavalrymans tone and he spoke more earnestly in his life. He had just buried a much beloved son, who had given up his life as an inci- dent to the war, but this had no connection with the General's re- markable statement. Said he: “I really do not believe that the fighting is over yet. The Spanish- American war is not one which is to be settled so eusily as some people are inclined to believe. I helieve, as sincerely as I ever believed any- thing, that this government will have more trouble with Spain. The Spaniards never know when they are defeated and they—trat is the masses Of the people cf Spain—are of the opinion that there was no need for their government to give up #0 soon. “Indeed,’ continued General Wheeler, “President McKinley him self is not at all sanguine of peace. He told me personally, not a great many hours ago, that he had no faith that the Peace Commission would be able to come to satisfac- tory terms with the Spaniards. This belief on his partis based on the Philippine situation. The situation in these islands so far as it relates to the settlement of peace is a com plex one. The Spanish ministers contend that as the battle at Manila took place subsequent to the signing of the peace protocol, the negotiations will not hold as far as they are con- cerned. Spain will refuse to give up the Philippines, and, of course,’ contin- ued the General, emphasizing his last words, “We cannot think of such a thing as giving them up, and will not. President McKinley is deeply and gravely concerned over the situation and is spending eleepless nights oyer it.” Speaking in reference to the death of his son, General Wheeler said: “Of course, it completely unnery ed me and was a great blow, but I am somewhat reconciled to my boy’s loss now. It would nct have been so hard to give him up had he met a soldier's death, but to be taken away by drowning is mitigated by the belief that he died the death of atrue hero in attempting to save the life of a companion. Iam going back to duty now, feeling as though I had been ona furlough, and really expect to put on my fighting clothes and go to the front again.” Shortly afterwards the train pull- ed out, bearing the General and his party back east. in the old} never Parted in the Middle.

Jules Cambon, the French am- bassador at Washington, has given assurance that Havana harbor hes been completely cleared of Spanieh mines and torpedoes, and it may now be entered by an American ship of war without danger of shar- ing the fate of the Maine.

Netes jleft by the couple indicate that the/ | woman administered the poison and | fired the shots. | The tragedy occurred in the Ea-)| terprise Hotel early this morning The principals were J. Villere, of| 1608 Seventh st. and Nellie McCuftia of 234 East Market st., who was a domestic in Viller’s home during the life of his wife. The three went to the hotel at 8 o'clock last night, and were assigned toaroom. At7 e’cleck this morn- ing three shots were heard, but it was impossible to locate them, so no more attention was paid. An hour later a porter was sent to call them to breakfast. The door was locked and he could get no an- swer. The night clerk went to the room and broke in the transom Look ing over it he saw the three bodies lying on the blood stained bed. The woman was lying across the man, and the body of the baby was on the pillow. Three notes were found which | told the story of the tragedy. Two | were written by the woman and one by Villers, after she told him she had given him morphine Those written by the woman said VW well PLAN TO REDUCE THE Gen. Miles Would Seale Down the Regiments | and Companies. Washington, D. C., Sept. 15.— Gen. Miles bas a proposition to reduce the size army, which he believes will with the approval of every soldier of of the volunteer meet the volunteer army, as it would per- mit the men whe desire te in the services to do and allow those who wish to be to be discharged. The proposition is to reorganize the volunteer army by reducing the regiments to eight stead of twelve, as now constituted, and reducing the number of men in remain 80, mustered out companies in- each to seventy fire, in stead of 106, as at present This would reduce the army to less than half of ite present strength, as the reduction would amount to 665 meo in each regiment. This proposal, if adopted, would apply to the whole volunteer army, and, of ceurse, to the troops which have been erdered out. These regiments, although on furlough and under muster out or ders, are still under the control of the war department, as only two organizitions, the rough riders, and two battalions of Iowa artillery, bave been mustered out. Gen. Miles aseerts that if his scheme is adopted it wil] stop all di in the future, as portions of the regiment could be diecharged and not force wen who desised to remain to be mustered out The preposition to Gen.
