WHEELER TO THE PUBLIC.
Vigorous Reply to An Inquiry About
Camp Wikoff.

! Camp Wikoff. Montauk Point, L. L,
Sept. 2.-Major General Joseph Wheel
er gave the following to the Associated
Press today:
Headquarters United States forces,
Camp Wikoff, L. l., Sept. l, 1S9S.-The
following is Il sample of the letters we
are constantly receiving regarding the
soldiers in the camp:
In regard to my stepson, we feel
| very uneasy about him on account of
the newspaper reports of the priva-
ton and suffering inflicted upon the
privateS. Although he has never ut
tered complaint since he has been in
the army we hear from other sources
of the cruel and horrible treatment in
flicted upon our soldiers under the pre-
tense of humanity for our neighbors
and the whole country is in a state Of
terrible excitement. 1 should not be
surprised if the feeling should lead to
a revolution of some kind, for L assure
you ( hear on all sides the most violent
and bitter denunciationS of the war
department and the administration. 1t
is. indeed. a great pity that the glory of
our triumphs should be dimmed by
such a shameful thing as the ill-treat-
ment and starvation of our own brave
soldiers, while the Spanish prisoners
have the best treatment that the coun-
try can afford"
1t will be seen that this letter says
that not a word of complaint has been
received from this soldier. and so far
as my investigation goes, no complaint
has been made by any of the brave SOL
diers that have added glory to our arms
in the Cuban campaign. A great many
anxious fathers, mothers, brothers or
sisters arrive here from all parts of
the United States to look after their
relatives, whom they say the papers
tell them are suffering and many of
them have heard that their relatives
are in a condition of starvation.
Most of these people are little able TO
eXpend the money for such journey,
and they are surprised when they come
here to find their relatives surrounded
with everything to eat which can be
produced by money, and, if sick in the
hospital, they are gratified and sur
prised to find that they are given every
possible care.
I have Just finished my daily insDec-
ton of the hospitals. With rare eX-
ceDtions the sick are cheerful. l have
nurses and doctors to care for them.
and in eli my many tours 1 have not
found a single patient who made the
slightest complaint. 1t is true there
has been great suffering. The climate
of Cuba was very severe upon all our
soldiers. but instead of complaining,
the hearts of these brave men are filled
with gratitude to the people for the
bounteous generosity which has been
extended to them.

KISSED AS THEY MARCHED.
Deputies at Springside Mine Make a
Demonstration at Pana.

Pana, Ills, Sept. 2.-Fifty-four of the
deputy sheriffs who have been on guard
duty at the Springside coal mine, made
a demonstration this afternoon by
marching in body through the prin-

Springfield rifles and fixed bayonets to
city hall park, where they rested on
their arms for half an hour. They
were in charge of Mayor Roswell and
Chief Deputy Baldwin.
Later they returned to the Springside
mine.
All along the line of march citizens
Kissed the deputies and applied ali
manner of epithets to them, but the
deputies coolly continued the march.
Mayor Penwell said the deputies were
brought to the city on orders of Gov
ernor Tanner, but the state secretary
of labor bureau, David Ross, the gov
ernor's representative here. looking
into the situation denied the statement
of the mayor. Mayor Roswell said it
was feared the lives of the deputies
and operators families were in danger.
The demonstration created great eX-

M'KINLEY'S EMOTIONS.
Instances Which Reveal the Heart of
the Soldier President.

New York, Sept. 2.-While on its way
to the Fifth Avenue hotel this after
noon the carriage containing President
Mckinley, Vice President Hobart and
Private Secretary Porter met a detail
of the Seventy-first New York regiment
escorting the remains of Corporal
She'd and Immen, who were killed in
the charge of San Juan hill to the Gem
etery.
With reverential respect the presi-
dent and his party removed their hats.
The presidents head was lowered and
he seemed to be deeply affected by the
spectacle. The presidents carriage fol-
lowed the funeral cortege a couple of
blocks down Fifth avenue, below Tween
ty-third street, and then returned to
the hotel.
President Mckinley was in the bal
cony of the Fifth Avenue hotel tanning
himself with his hat when the naval
reserves from the Yankee passed. He
jumped to his feet and clapped his
hands. and when the tars presented
arms, bowed in answer to their salute.
The sailors were surprised and de-
lighted at being reviewed by the presi-
dent.

plished up to this point, or what they
are likely to accomplish in the future,

repeatedly stated that the most friend
ly relations existed on both sides and
that the representatives of both gov
ernments manifested a disposition,
even determination, to reach final adj
justment of the questions in dispute
between them.

MOST STUPENDOUS EVER SEEN
IN THIS COUNTRY.
Will Take Place Next Year, Says the
Manager of the Hanna Coal Com
pany-Affairs at Pana, Ill.

Cleveland, o., Sept 2.-In an inter
view today Manager Young of the NJ.
A. Hanna Coal company is quoted as
saying:
I'm the early part of next year We
will have one of the greatest coal
strikes this country has ever seen. All
indications are that the strike will last
many months.
THE miners stand at all times ready
to fight against a reduction of wages.
When the Chicago contract expires, or
possibly before that time, they will be
obliged to accept a reduction of 10 or 10
cents per ton, or fight. / think they
will fight and will fight harder than
ever before.
1.-The West Virginia miners are work
ing cheaper than ever before. All ef-
forts on the part of other miners to
organize them have been in vain. There
is no hope that they will be brought
into line"
