Country's Stand Towards
Cubans.

Washington. August lS There
have been conferences between Estrada
Palma and other representatives o'
the Cubans with officials Of the United
States government, relative to the Gu
bans and what would be done with
them.
Mr.. Palma was advised that the
United States would not consider the
question of compensation of the Cuban
troops, because there vas 90 power in
the government to do so, even ii there
was an inclination.
He was told that the best thing the
Cubens could do was 70 advise the men
in arms to disbaad, retire to their
homes aud engage 10 peaceful pur-
suits.
That the members of the Cuban
junta recognize that this is the only
thing to do, is seen 10 the fact that
emissaries have already been dispatch
ed to Cuba With view Of carrying ou'
the desires of the Uoited States govern
ment
These eimssaries will try to persuade
the Cuban leaders that resistance tc
United States authority would result
only in further disaster aud distress te

WHEELER DEFENDS
STARVING CUBANS.
He Anticipates No Trouble.

Washington, August l7.--Gen.
Wheeler received orders to day 70 as
sumo command at Camp Wikof until
the arrival of Gen. Shafter. He was
iold by the secretary of war to pur-
chase everything necessary for the
comfort of the men, and to spare
nothing that would alleviate the sick
and wounded.
Gen. Wheeler had three quarters
of an hour conference with the Pres
ident to-day. The President wanted
to talk over the conditions in Cuba
with Gen. Wheeler. and this was the
object of a telegraphic summons that
brought the general here.
The President put numerous ques.
tions to the hero of the Santiago
campaign. and received not only an
account of his general experience in
that campaign, but also bis views on
various issues incident to the ADJUST
inert of affairs on the island One
point that was uppermost was the
possibility of a rupture with the Gu
ban insurgents. Gen. Wheeler's
statements were very reassuriDg.
"All the friction - ne said, between
the Americans and Cubans will soon
pass away, and there will be harmony
and the best of feeling between
them :"
He said there was class Of men
10 Cuba who had never been friendly
to the Cubans. but on the contrary,
had been favorable to Spain. who
likely would do all they could to
keep up this Misunderstanding, though
he did not apprehend any dangerous
results Gen Wheeler suggested
the charges against the insurgents of
taking articles in the field had exten,
uating circumstances, ,and particularly
in the starving condition of many of
them Gen Wheeler believed the
Cubans in time, when freed from
oppression and given a stable and
humane government, would become
law abiding and usefu! people
The President is very solicitous
abou. the health of the Montauk
Point camp, and gave explicit In
structious verbally to Gen. Wheeler
as to the conduct Of the camp He
wanted everything possible and rea-
sonable done for the interests of the
men at the camp.
Just at the close of Office hours in
the war department, Gen. Wheeler
stopped to speak to group Of news
paper men, and was soon surrounded
by crowd Of employees as we'll,
who listened to what he had to say
regarding his experiences with them.
The trouble seemed to be that
they wanted to cooperate, and not be
under orders from the American gen
erals After all was explained to
them, however, they for the most
part, got along very well. He SAID
that they could not understand our
language. and often orders given to
them, when translated. seemed, 10
doubt, harsh and abrupt. This led
to several misunderstanding.
