Wheeler we'll replied: Il ought 70; he
chased me through three states.
Another linton veteran, who is now in
the postof!ice department. says that the
remarkable feature of Gen Wheeler's
leadership was that. in spite of the tree

their almost miraculous jumping from

Point as a cadet in 1854, when IL years OF
age. He entered the regular army after
graduation, and on Sept. l, 1860 was made
a second lieutenant in a regiment of
mounted riflemen and sent to fort Fillmore
on the Rio Grande. He resigned his com
mission April %, 1861, to enter the Confed-
crate service. He was first on l.. I.
Walkers staff with the rank of colonel,
but after short time went back TO Ala
bama to organize regiment When II
was proposed to make Wheeler brigadier
general the Confederate Congress raised
some objection on account of his extreme
youth, but subsequent events justified the
high place which had been accorded to
him.
Jefferson Davis, in his History of the
Confederacy.' volume 2, page 81, thus
speaks of Wheeler's services: with his
small force, Wheeler daringly and per-
slstently harassed and. when practicable,
delayed the enemy's advance, attacking
an defeating exposed attachments, deter
ring its foragers from venturing far from
the main body, defending all cities and
towns along the railroad lines, and afford
ing protection to depots of supplies, ar
senals, and other important government
works His operations from Nov. IA to
Dec 20 display a dash, activity, vigilance
and consummate skill which justly entitle
him to a prominent place on the roll of
great cavalry leaders BY his indomita-
Bile energy, operating on all sides OF Sher-
mans columns. he was able to keep the
government advised of the enemy's move
ments, and by preventing foraging parties
from going far from the main body, he
saved from spoilation all but a narrow
tract of country, and from the torch mil
lions of dollars worth of property which
would otherwise certainly have been con-
sumed." This is probably as good a de-
scription of his methods of cavalry war
fare as could be given, and at the age or
62 1t is reasonable to believe that he has
lost none of his old-time vigor. There is a
romantic touch in having such man as
Gen. Wheeler, simple, honest, conscien-
tious and his military career and perhaps
his public service in war undertaken by
the United States, after he had workeo
so hard a generation ago in the cause Of

Ttmes-Union: Lieut.. Moss, who was here
on Friday night in charge of the Spanish
prisoners, demonstrated the kindness that
will be shown by the United States 10
prisoners of war. The boat reached here
Friday morning, too late to connect with
the north-bound passenger train. During
the day the prisoners were kept on board
of the steamer City of Key West The
steamer was to leave for Key West at
1850 p. m. This forced the lieutenant
to ind some kind of accommoda tions. In
stead of placing them in an empty build-
ing, without beds to make them comfort
able, he brought them TO the Connolly
House, where they had the same comforts
as any other guests. Lieut. Moss could
have placed them in the waiting room at
the depot, and have let them make their
beds upon the hard floor, which would
nave been far better treatment than an
american would have received from the
Spaniards, had he been their prisoner. But
the lieutenant did by them as he would
wish them TO do by him under like circum-
stances. Not only were they well cared
for by the officers, but the proprietors of
the Connolly House did their share. and
the guests added their mite to their COM
tort. After dinner, the guests at the
hotel asked Lieut. Moss to bring the pris-
oners into the parlor, which he did. There
were several ladies present, who rendered
some most excellent music to the delight
OF the Spaniards. Among the guests was
MISS Curry of Key West who is a trained
musician, and a sweet singer. Her sing

TOPPING OF AN IDOL.
The Old spanish cid Has No Modern
Autotype.
st. Louis Globe-pemocrat.


st. Louis Globe-pemocrat.
''rhe name of the Cid campeador will
outlive that of the conquerer OF Cuba. .
This exclamation is, from the London Sat
urday Review, which is about the only
British paper prominent enough TO be
heard outside of the town in which it
is printed that is hostile to the United
States on the Cuban question.
1t is clear that the Review writer knows
nothing about the light which the re-
search of the past quarter OF a
century throws on the Cids character.
The Cid who fills the same sort Of a place
in Spanish legend that King Arthur does
in that of England was a sort of a cross
between soldier of fortune and brig
and, who fought for and against Moors
and Christians in turn, who plundered
both, who was stable and consistent In
nothing except in hatred of the Jews,
whom he cheated and murdered al every
opportunity, whose oath was just as good
as his word. and neither was ever relied
upon by anybody who knew him, vino
was treacherous, cruel and INDECENT, and
who had every vice of the typical Span
lard of to-day except cowardice.
One difference between the real Cid and
the Spaniard of 1898 is that while the
cid would destroy the Maine as The
Havana assasslns did, he would be apt
to tell of it afterward and brave the con-
sequences. Comparing this tinseled fraud
with some of the picturesque shams
among his countrymen Of to-day, the cal
Campeador may be said to hold the same
place among true heroes that Castelar,
does among true Republicans, and that
Burriel, Castelar's butcher in the Vir-
gnius affair. and Weyler do among chiv-
arous soldiers.
