JOE WHEELER'S BOOK.
The General Sets Straight Some Points
About the War.

NEW YORK. Nov 2l-General Joe
Wheeler. that amazingly active man. mas
found time 10 write book or so pages
ON the war. and advance copies are just
ont. He has used many oIhcihi uocu-
ments in his work. but they are all OF
unusual interest. and furnish important
links in the Santiago campaign.
The fact is brought out clearly ana
for the first time. that General smarter
at one time contemplated making an AZ
tack with infantry upon the forts when
commanded Santiago harbor. thus max

ion Of General Wheeler as TO the advisa-
bilitv OF such step and General
Wheeler's reply are given in full Cen
eral Wheeler advised against the move
as being one which would involve great
loss Of life I'm the making. lie iranhly
and clearly gives his reasons Tor taxing
this stand. and events have Justihed lhe
wisdom Of the course which he counseled.
General Wheelers book, as al OF ms
conversation has been. Is wonderfully
free from criticism Of any kind. In all
it's pages there is not single criticism
of anyone. unless the chapter devoted 10
Garcia's failure TO prevent the entrance
OF PandO into Santiago may be construed
into criticism. on the other hand. there
is bountiful praise. Even General ShaI-
ter is heartily praised.
Many pages are devoted to the Ca
pitulation" conferences between General
Toral and the American generals. Cen
eral Wheeler was present at all Of those
and took the leading part in formulating
the terms OF capitulation. He points
out with interest the characteristic OF
General Toral which impressed him most.
II was the spaniard's sensitive regard
for his honor IA a soldier, and the Cen
eral remarks that Toral constantly had
before him the picture Of himself at the
head Of his conquered army when they
should return to Spain together.
After the war closed General Wheeler
begged General Shafter not TO order him
back to the United States ahead or his
command. Il would be Inundated, ne
