GEN. WHEELER At WASHINGTON
CONFERS WITH THE PRESIDENT ON
THE CUBAN SITUATION.
Members of the Administration Not
Afraid the Insurgents VIII EN-
barrass This Government.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE semi-ofi-
cial announcement that Senator Davis is to
be member Of the peace commission takes
on peculiar significance in view of the fact
that he is committed to the policy of ''keep-
ing everything over which our flag has been
Davis is not a wild expansionist, but he is
against the surrender of territory on which
we have established a claim. His appoint
ment on the commission is a refutation of
the maliciously partisan charge that the
President is organizing a commission to
give away the Philippines" The Presi-
dent has been told by Senator Allison that
sentiment in Iowa was overwhelmingly In
favor of the retention Of the Philippines,
and that there was an unconquerabIe OBJ
lection throughout the West to giving up
anything where our flag had once been
planted by our armies. Senator Allison pre-
diets that the peace commission will have
a long and tedious sitting, but that it will
finally agree. He called attention to the
fact that all treaties with Spain are now
abrogated, and that it will be the duty
of the peace commission to frame a treaty
covering everything. 1t is his belief that
a treaty cannot be agreed on in time for
the present Congress to handle it, and that
a special session of the Fifty-sixth Con-
gress will have to be convened next spring
to make laws for the government of con-
quered or trusteed territory.
The administration shares the fears ex-
pressed by residents of Cuba that the Span
ish army will signalize it's abandonment of
the island by a carnival of murder and
property destruction. Many signs of such
a purpose are creeping out. Enough troops
to do effective police and garrison duty in
the large cities and towns will be hurried
into Cuba at the first symptoms of a cam
paign of unbridled ferocity such as the
island is threatened with. In spite of all
the precaution that can be taken there is
grave danger that the Spanish soldiers will
break over all bounds. They are angry,
Inundated and full of desire to leave Cuba
desert and it's people in the depths This
phase of promised trouble is giving the
President and the War Office a great deal of
trouble.

WILL MAKE NO TROUBLE.
Cubans Said to BE Satisfied with the
Governments PIans

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17-Thomas Es-
trada Palma and other prominent members
of the Cuban revolutionary party in this
country have arrived here and, with Con
zalo D'Quesada, the Cuban charge daft
fafres have held several conferences at
their headquarters on the situation of the
island. The meeting has given rise to
renewal of the reports that the Cuban re-
public administration is chafing under the
present system of control.
President Mckinley and the members of
his administration have paid no attention
to these reports, and a member of the Cab
met asserted to-day there was no expec-
tation of any official protest against the
system of administration put in force pend
ing the establishment of stable govern
ment' in Cuba mo representations from
the Cubans on this subject" he said, 'have
been made to this government, nor is any,
thing of the sort looked for. The Cubans
have expressed themselves as being salts
fed with the present method of admins
tration and have full confidence. so far as
we know, in the good faith and sincerity of
this government, and will remain satisfied
until the time is ripe for the establishment
of stable government The Cubans this
administration believes, will make no trou-
bic on that source"
General Wheeler takes the same view
He was at the War Department to-day
and had an interview with the secretary
General Wheeler received orders to assume
command at Camp Wikoff until the arrival
OF General Shafter. He was told by the
secretary of war to purchase everything
that was necessary for the comfort of the
men, and to spare nothing that could alle-
Vlate the SICK and wounded. General Wheel
er also had an three-quarters of all hour
conference with the President to-day. The
President wanted to talk over the conditions
In Cuba with him. and this was the object
of a telegraphic summons that brought the
general here. The President put numerous
questions to the hero of the Santiago cam
paign and received not cnly an account of
the generals experience in that campaign.
but also his views on various issues Incl
dent to the adjustment of affairs on the
island. One point that was uppermost was
the possibility of a rupture with the Cuban
insurgents. General Wheeler's statement
was very reassuring. "All the friction he
said, between the Americans and the Gu
bans 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 IA
vorable to Spain, who likely would do all
they could to keep up this misunderstand-
ing, though he did not apprehend any dam
gerous results. General Wheeler suggested
that the charges against the insurgents of
taking articles in the field had extenuating
circumstances, especially in view of the
starving condition OF many of-them. Gen.

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 solicitous about the
health of the Montauk Point camp, and
gave explicit instructions verbally to Gen.
Wheeler as to the conduct of the camp. He
wanted everything possible and reasonable
done for the interests of the men at the
camp
General Wade, president of the Cuba mill
tary commission, has been in consultation
with Secretary Alger and Adjutant General
Corbin regarding his new assignment. 1t
will be some time before instructions will
be prepared for the Cuban and Porto Rican
commissions, but they are subjects of con-
sideration by the administration. The in
struction will cover all of the main points,
but many of the details will be left for the
commissions There is considerable anxiety
among the staff officers and aids of the
officers composing the commission as to
whether or not they will be sent along. 1t is
known that the President does not desire
large staffs to accompany these officers or
anything like a show Of force accompany
ing the commission. Probably only such Of
ficers as actually are needed in the conduct
of the business will be sent to Cuba and
San Juan.
General Fftzhugh Lee had a brief inter
view with the secretary of war to-day be-
fore his return to Jacksonville.

made by the War Department so that the
government printer will hereafter furnish
copies of these tariffs at the cost price with
10 per cent added.

100000 of the volunteers. Those to be dis

question of the mastering out of volunteers

days. 1t was quite evident to begin with

the volunteer force to be mustered out it
became a delicate question to designate the
organizations which should go.
From a prominent official of the admin
istration it is understood to be the desire
of the President to ascertain the wishes of
the volunteer troops themselves as to re-
naming in the service One or two organ
izations have already indicated a aesire to
leave the service as soon as the government
can reasonably do without them. They are
composed largely of business and working
men, whose private interests are suffering
by reason of their absence from home. So
far as the interests of the government will
permit, it is believed that the President in
the mastering out of the volunteers will ac-
commodate himself to the desires of the
men themselves. Within certain obvious
limitations those troops who want to be
mustered out will be and those who desire
to continue in the service will be retained
so long as they may be needed. 1t may be
some time before the organizations to be
mustered out will be designated, but the
reduction in the volunteer force will be
made as soon as practicable.

ROBERT p PORTER'S DUTIES.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-THE President
yesterday appointed Robert P. Porter spe-
cial commissioner to investigate the condi-
tions OF industry, trade, foreign commerce.
currency and banking systems in Cuba and
Porto Rico and make a report thereon for
the use of the administration and of Con-
gress. The fundamental idea of this ap-
pointnent is said to be to obtain reliable in
formation upon which the government can
base action or recommendations to Congress
for legislation and the work of industrial or
commercial reconstruction of the islands of
Cuba and Porto Rico. There are already
many questions which have come up for ad-
justnent, and it will be part of Mr.. Por-
ter's duty to investigate and report facts
for the use of the President and the secre-
tary of the treasury for action. Many of
these questions arise from temporary GUS
toms tariffs put in force by executive or
der, from the differences in the currency
and banking laws and different methods of
doing business. The President proposes to
approach the question of industrial and
commercial reconstruction of Cuba and
Porto Rico with deliberation and caution
and, as far as possible, to consult not only
the commercial interests of this country
but of the conquered territory. Mr.. Por-
ters instructions are broad and compre-
hensive, and are intended to convey to the
people of the islands the idea that in all
matters relating to their business interests
they will be as fully and as fairly consult
ed as the interests of the people of the
United States.
In this work Mr.. Porter will recognize
neither Spanish, Cuban nor persons of for
eign birth, but simply the best interests of
the people of thesislands. Everything pos
sible will be done 10 rehahintate the vast
country and encourage the investment Of
capital and Inauguration of an era of pros
perity. 1t is understood that during the last
month or more Mr.. Porter has been engaged
In the study of the question involved, and
obtained the views of large commercial
interests of the country in connection with
his undertaking. 1t is understood that he
will go to Havana with the recently an
pointed military commission
