CUBANS UNFIT TO RULE
BUT ARE ABLE AND WILLING TO
LEARN
General Wheeler Talks With Plain
Good Sense Concerning Charac-
ter and Traits Of Cubans

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-In an interview
in this city, General Joseph Wheeler said:
"The character Of the Cubans has been
| somewhat misrepresented. They are by no
means as black as they are painted. AS far
as have come to know, they are traetablc
and permit themselves to be reasoned with.
1t is merely a question of knowing how to
handle them. You have got to make ev-
erything plain TO them and appeal to their
common sense. 1t must be borne in mind
that their ways of thinking are entirely
different from ours, and they look on things
in an entirely different light. but once they
understand that what We intend to do is
for their good, they will hardly cause US
any trouble.
Take, for instance, the way the Cupans
behaved before the battle of La Quas'na.
We had intended to have them cooperate
with US and informed the Cuban officers Of
our intentions. In consequence OF some
misunderstanding the forces we expected
they would place at our disposal did not
arrive in time, bu; instead 200 men under
General Castillo put in an appearance, and
the latter announced that he was ready 20
go into the fight with us, but he wanted to
place his men in the front.
II pointed out 10 him that this would
be imprac;icabie and asked the men, for
nstance,ff they should receive orders from
their General to go to Siboney. and Gen.
eral Chaffee, who commanded the brigade.
should order otherwise, whom they would
obey, and hey replied they would follow
their General. 1 showed them that this
would result in a conf1ic; of authority,
which would do us more harm than good.
and finally l succeeded in making them as
docile and tractable as they could be-.
All they need is fair treatment and good
diplomatic argument and We shall have no
trouble.
1.-The admins tration has been seriously
considering the question Of enl.sting Gu
bans for the United States Army, and
am quite in favor Of the idea. think
they would make good soldiers with lit
lie training under American officers, and
once they absorb the American soldiers
traits they can be relied upon to take care
Of Cuba themselves. OF course, at pres
ent they are not fit to govern and they
will have no opportunity OF doing so.''

BOUNDARY DISPUTES
May Involve All South America in
War

NEW YORK, Sept. ia dispatch to the
Herald from Valparaiso says:
The boundary dispute between Chile and
Argentine seems likely to develop into a
great South American conflagratlon. 1t is
believed, as a foundation, that Bolivia hos
signed a secret treaty with Argentine to
make common cause against Chile. In case
of war. however, Peru. 1 am informed
would checkmate Bolivia, leaving Argen-
tine to the care of Chile.
This attitude of Peru is said TO be due to
the fact that Chile has wiped off 5000. 00O
from the ransom for the provinces return ed
by the protocol. Chile is now completing
her naval and military preparations for a
hostile climax to the negotiations with Ar
genuine.

Too Much Work and a Touch Of

resulting in part from the work and ex-
posture Of his recent campaigns. The Gen.
eral has been ailing for some days. and
although he came to army headquarters
for two hours yesterday, there was already
some evidence Of fever. Today the physi-
clan who was called in insisted upon the
General remaining In bed. The attack
causes no apprehension TO the General or
his friends. 1t is said to be Of malarial
character, like much Of the fever devel-
oped after exposure in southern ATTITUDES.
Ii Is believed that the General will now yield
10 the advice Of physicians and friends, and
take a vacation at some quiet resort. Ow-
ing to the strong recuperative powers OF
General Miles, It is hoped a: army head
quarters that he will be up and about very
