Joe Wheeler's Way.

1t does the heart good to see how lit
tie General Wheeler is bringing order
out of chaos at Montauk Point. We
quote from the New York Sun:
General Wheeler took hand in the ad-
miistration of hospital affairs today and
he did II in way that will not soon be
forgotten by the hospital officials.
Late yesterday afternoon, when Gen
eral Wheeler summoned Colonel ForWoL d
and all of the regimental surgeons to has
headquarters and told them that he rad
received a complaint of lack of medi-
cine from all sides, the principal COM
plant having been made by DIR. Woods
of General Ames' division, he demanded
to know frcm each surgeon whether this
was true or not, and each and every cle
replied that II was. Then turning 10
Colonel Fol wood he said:
How about this? Didn't you tell me
that there was enough inedicine here Cor
everybody"
II did, and there is plenty" said Colonel
Forwood. "The whole trouble is that the
regimental surgeons don't send for 1t. il
they send for 1t they will get it."
'"rhen you have enough for the pres
ent," said General Wheeler. II have sent
for more and IL will be here before long.
NOW l want you surgeons to make out
your requisitions day by day and see that
they are filled. ! want no more COM
plants about lack of medicine"
AT 10 O'Clock this morning General
Wheeler again summoned all the sur
seons to his tent. "I have brought you
here" he said ''to find out II YOU have
done what told you to do and have got
plenty of medicine"
All of the doctors said that they had
excepting DIR. Woods, who again com.
planned that he could not get medicines.

did you make reauisition for what
you wanted?" asked General Wheeler.
81 did," replied DR.. Woods.
WAS II honored?'
ut was not"
We'll, Colonel Tcrwood, perhaps you
can explain"
THE reauisition was sent, but no trans
portation," said Colonel Forwood.
DR.. Woods admitted that and said that
he had but one horse. General Wheeler
looked very weary.
How many do you need?" he asked.
Three" said the doctor.
DR. Woods, didn't 1t occur to you that
you might have sent your one horse over
three tlmes?' DR. Woods made no re-
sponse, and addressing all of the ply
sicians, General Wheeler said: There
is now no excuse for any of you COM
planning of a lack of medical supplies.
Everything you ask for will be given to
you. You know now how to get any
thing you want. and will take no excuse
for lack of supplies from any of you
from now on"
But that was not all. The Sun ar
ticle continues:
After the doctors had dispersed. Gem
eral Wheeler said to Colonel Forwood
that there had been a number of com
get answers from the general hospital
when they rang up that institution on the
telephone. Colonel Forwood said that his
doctors could not leave their patients to
answer telephone calls.
''Then detail a man to do nothing but
answer telephone calls said General
Wheeler. "And now" he continued
"why can't there be an Alphabetical list
made of all the patients in the hospitals
as they go out an in? There is complaint
of lack of system"
81 cannot do it," said Colonel Forwood.
"Well, then I'll show you how" said
General Wheeler, and he told the chief
surgeon of the hospital to get an indexed
book and put down each patients name
under his initial when he came in and to
check it off when he came cut. Then the
general made some very decided remarks
about the way things were being run In
the hospitals.
Where there is a will there is a way
Joe Wheeler may he little, but he has
the will of a giant, more power to it.

A Queer Paper by Whitelaw Reid.

In the course of a paper in the Cen
tury magazine upon the territorial
problems of the war, Hon. Whitelaw
Reid, since appointed peace commits
sioner, takes advanced ground in IA
vor of retaining the Spanish West In
dies, Cuba included, as American ter
ritories, and inclines toward a SIM
liar disposition of the Philippines. Mr.
Reid elaborates an argument tending
to establish that we should not be
bound too rigidly by the terms of the
congressional resolution pledging us to
withdraw from Cuba as soon as we
had accomplished it's pacification; his
argument resting upon the hypothesis,
which he cheerfully Zone might almost
say eagerly assumes, that the Cubans
can never maintain by themselves a
stable government.
1t is strange that an honorable man
like Mr. Reid, who would defend the
sanctity of his personal pledge with his
life. is so ready to counsel his govern
ment to violate it's public pledge and
so eager to smooth the pathway to
national stultfication. Mr.. Reid has
no right to say before the fact that
the Cubans cannot learn to govern
themselves; it will be time enough to
meet this contingency should it pre-
sent itself after the lapse of years of
unsuccessful tuition. But if it should
prove as he predicts that there are not
among the present inhabitants of Cuba
enough elements of political and So
cial stability to sustain independent
statehood, then it may well be doubt
ed if we should have any place for
Cuba in our political system. We dis
like TO picture the United States as
an international founding asylum.
Another curious feature in Mr.. Reid's
paper is the mpassioned argument
which he makes against thinking of
any of the captured territory as rep
resenting possible states. He says in
effect that statehood for Cuba, Porto
Rico or Luzon must never be consid-
cred. Not now, certainly But if we
cannot hope ever to Americanize these
islands sufficiently to justify their ulti-
mate absorption into the Union, the
same as we absorbed the territory of
the Louisiana and Gadsden purchases,
then in our opinion we had better give
up at once the idea of holding them at
all. Statehood is the ideal of republi-
can institutions. Toward it, in prep
aration for it, our efforts must tend
if we would remain true to our political
principles. o..

Ambassador Hay is certainly compli-

glo-American relations and has been
emphatically the right man at the
psychological moment" Poor Rayard.

AUSTRIA'S THREAT.


Last November Austria's minister of
foreign affairs used this threatening
language: THE peoples of Europe
must fight shoulder to shoulder against
the common danger. and must arm
themselves for the struggle with all
the means at their disposal" This
common danger" and struggle" refer
TO the american invasion of Conti-
mental markets. II joint action should
follow Austria's advice, would not a
Mell-defned trade alliance between
England and America, against Europe
banded for the destruction of the COM
merce and Industries of both, be justi-
he'd on every ground of self-interest
ana self-preservation? And ie the
united diplomacy of Great Britain and
America should not avail with Russia
and Germany and France. to abolish
prohibitive determinations in Chinese
ports, why should not trade alliance
establish determinations against the
commerce OF these nations in British
and American ports?
We have valuable export trade
with Germany and France; but so have
they with us. Besides, every Europea n
nation except Russia, is largely de-
pendent upon our food products. Sta
tistics show that the slightest disturb
ance In our cereal exports precipitates
bread riots in more than one Euro
pean city. Europe is affected by any
emergency that isolates her from our
wheat fields; particularly helpless
would she be If cut off from the ter
ritory dominated by Anglo-American
influence. Ever Russia is not inde-
pendent, for she is often an importer
of grain. England, Ireland and Scot
land grow wheat enough to feed them
selves for only fourteen weeks. We
furnish nearly all the balance. Usual
ly the supply in the United Kingdom,
at any one time, will not last two
months. and often not one. So serious
is England's situation. that the YER
