WHEELER STANDS BY SKATER
Couldn't Have Been on the Fighting
Line at Santiago

Nashville. Tenn, Aug. 12-Postmaster
A. w. Wills received a letter from Gen
eral Joe Wheeler today, dated Santiago
de Cuba, July q, in which General
Wheeler says, referring to newspaper re-
ports concerning General Shafter:
Il think the criticisms upon General
Shafter were very unjust. He has a hard
task and has performed 1t successfully
and well. He is a man of more than or
binary brain power and administrative
ability. The criticism that he did not
place himself on the firing line is ridicu-
lous, as on July he was carrying on two
fights at the same time-one at Caney
and one at San Juan. He had some re-
serves and had to place himself where he
could see both fights and manage the
whole affair. which he did efficiently.
with very high regards. very truly
your friend, JOSEPH WHEELER"

After Nearly Twenty Four Years in
Naval Service

Vallejo. Cal, Aug. 12.-Rear Admiral
Kirkland. U. S. N. died at o'clock this
evening. He expired peacefully, his wife
and son being in the death chamber at
the time. Dr.. Hibbetts of the United
States steamship Independence, and DR..
Wagner, navy yard surgeon, were also
present Father Reginald of St Vincent 5
church. was with the admiral three hours
before he breathed his last
The admiral had rallied from the ef-
fects Of an operation for acute constric-
ton Of the bowels which was performed
on Tuesday by Dr. W. E. Taylor, of San
Francisco, assisted by several other sur
geons, and last night 1t was stated that
he had a fighting chance for his life This
morning he seemed some what better and
during the day his family and friends
were hopeful that he might be spared.
AT o'clock p. m. he began to sink and
as the darkness came on grew gradually
weaker. until two hours later he ceased
TO breathe, dying without evidence of
pain.
The funeral will take place from ST.
Vincent's Catholic church of Vallejo on
Sunday. The remains were embalmed
and will be placed temporarily in the
vault at st. Vincent cemetery. Later
they will be removed TO Brooklyn, n. Y,
for interrment beside the remains of his
daughter who is buried there.
The sentiment at the navy yard is that
work should be suspended on Sunday as
a token of respect to the dead admiral.
Rear Admiral w. A. Kirkland was ap-
pointed from North Carolina July 2, 1850,
and made a midshipman June 20, 1858;
lieutenant March IS, 1859; lieutenant COM
mander July 16, 1862; commander March
2 1863; captain April 1, 1880; commodore
July II. 1898, and rear admiral March l.
1895. He would have been placed on the
retired list on the second of last month
were it not for the present war. He has
been anxious to retire from active duty,
as n had purchased home at San
Diego, where he had intended to make
his homo when placed on the retired list.
He served at sea for eight months as
rear admiral; total service 90 years and
8 months, shor or other duty, 16 years,
months. At the time of his death he
was commandant of the Mare Island navy
yard. He was well known on the Pacific
coast and was popular among both naval
officers and ciilians.

allaying the excitement and propagating
the idea that SPANS surrender is not so
complete as indicated by the bald terms
Of the protocol. AS the first step in this
direction. a semi-of1cial note has been
issued. II Is as follows:
The government is of opinion that the
most critical period Of the peace negoita-
tons has now arrived, as II depends upon
the arrangement of details as to whether
the peace Will be more or less adavn-
tageous. Spain wishes to preserve her
gnty over n whole of the Philip
pines, TO which the proposes TO accord all
political and administrative reforms con-
sistent with the maintenance of her SOW
ereignty.
in regard to the evacuation Of Cuba
and Porto Rico, It VIII be asked that the
army be allowed to depart honorably and
that assurances be given guaranteeing
that Spanish residents and Spanish inter
ests will not suffer. The army, which
has not been conquered, will return to
Spain with Its guns. arms and mum tons.

United States refuses to assume It Spain

The Liberal thinks the only bright fea-
ture of the peace treaty is the immediate
of hostilities, 80 that our
unhappy soldiers Will no longer have to
die without knowing wherefore"
Continuing. the Liberal congratulates
the country upon the fact that the war
is ended, though Spanish rule in America
is completely terminated. We reserve the
right to criticize the protocol when free

In conclusion, the Liberal says: Those
who pretend that the events of the last

not affect Spanish history are deceiving |
