WASHINGTON. D. c., August H.
General Wheeler was at the war de-
partment to-day and had an Interview
with the secretary, General Wheeler
received orders to assume command at
Camp wikofG untll the arrival Of Cen
eral shafter. General wheeler was told
by the secretary Of war to purchase
everything that was necessary for the
comfort of the men and to spare Moth
ing that would alleviate the sick and
wounded. General Wheeler will leave
tonight for New York and thence 70
MontaulS Point.
General Wheeler also had three
quarters Of On hour conference with the
President to-day. The President want
ed to talk over the conditions In Cuba
with General Wheeler, and this was the
object OF telegTaphic summons that
brought the general here. The Presi-
dent put numerous questions to the
hero OF the Santiago campaign and re-
ceived not only an account OF his gem
eral experience in that campaign, but
also his Views on various issues Incl
dent to the adjustment OF afrairs on the
island.
one point that was uppeTmost was
the possibility of rupture with the
Cuban insurgents. General Wheeler's
statements were very reassuring. "All
the Fiction" he said, between the
Americans and CubanB will soon pass
away, and there will be harmony and
the best OF feeling between them"
He said there was class Of men in
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 10 keep mp this
misunderstanding though he did not
apprehend any dangerous results.
General Wheeler suggested the
charges against the insurgents OF TAX
Ing articles in the field had extenuating
circumstances especially In view Of the
starving condition OF many of them.
General Wheeler believed the Cubans In
time when freed from oppression and
given stable and humane government
would become law abiding and useful
people. The President is very solieitous
about the health OF the Montauk Point
camp and gave explicit instructions
verbally to General Wheeler as 30 the
conduct OF the camp. He wanted ev-
erythIng possible and reasonable done
for the interests Of the men at the
camp

nave been due to the fact that Aguln-
