GENERAL JOE WHEELER,


1t was Napoleon's saying
that in war the moral part is
to the physical part as five
to three. General Wheeler
on the day Of the battle on
San Juan had shown himself
possessed of the physical
three part and when night
came he was to show himself
the owner of the more valu.
able traits of a commander.
It is a story not just yet
ripe for publication, but it is
a fact that on the night after
our men had swept so glor-
iously up San Juan hill, a
feeling prevailed the Ameri-
can army that we had in
many respects grabbed a bear
by the tail. We might hold
on to the undoing of the bear,
and our grasp might loosen
to our own destruction.
This feeling was so strong
that scme of the leading Off
GERS in the army went to Gen.
Wheeler and proposed that
he fall back from the posi-
tions We had captured. In
other words, we should aban-
don all we had gained at
such a fearful cost and as
sumo the position we had
taken before the battle, The
men who made this propO-
sltion were no weakllngs.
They had demonstrated their
courage a hundred times,
and never more brilliantly
than on that very day, but
the fury of the fight was
over for them-the moral
side Of the soldier was called
for and they were wanting.
Gen. Wheeler listened to
them and said:
1--WE cannot fall back,
gentlemen, and we would
not if we could. If we can
not hold this place we can
hold nothing in the rear Of it.
We stay here, gentlemen"
And they stayed.
During the rebellion six
teen horses at various times
were shot under General
Wheeler. His record as a
lighting man-and what is
better, as dn able leader of
lighting men-was firmly es'
tablished then, and he has
added in both respects to his
'reputation during the short
Cuban campaign, There
was in the army no more
courteous gentleman, as there
was no better or braver sold.

scHLsY's uNFoUeHT Battle,
Here is an incident which
shows more clearly than any
thing else Just what the navy
is ready to do, and how deli
cately balanced is the chip
on the shoulders of our sea
fighters, says the Chicago
Record. When Schley had
enriched our history on July
3, and every ship in these
waters under the banner Of
royal CASTLE had been shat
tered, he was sailing east to
resume station at before San
'tiago, Word came to him
that the Pelayo, pride Of the
Spanish navy, had reached
the caribbean, and he was
expected to engage her as
soon as found. To naval ex-
perts the suggestion that a
cruiser fight a battleship is
insanity gone mad, buc never
theless the Brooklyn started
on her errand.
Near Santiago a vessel
was sighted, heavily armOred
and turretted' but at such a
distance that her colors could
not be distinguished under
the glass. Toward her the
Brooklyn started, Commo-
dore Schley and Captain
Cooke stood on the forward
bridge as the big cruiser
fairly leaped forward to give
battle.
''She is white-an unusual
thing in war time said the
commodore, watching the
stranger through his glass.
81 don't believe she is Span
ish," he remarked a moment
later, and then consulting
the picture of a sister ship of
the Pelayo suddenly exclalm-
ed; "By jove! 1t is the
Pelayo after ALI"
"On the signal bridget"
shouted Captain Cooke.
Can you make out her col
ors?'
mot yet, sir" came the
answer, followed a moment
later by: "We have raised
her colors, sir, and she is
Spanish,
"Send your men to quar-
ters, Cooke, y said the commo-
dore, "apd send an eight inch
shell for her when ! give the
word"
On went the Brooklyn,
fast closing the distance be-
tween herself and the strang-
era big battleship Of mod
ern type and with her flag

Deliveries OF the new per cent.
United States war bonds have been
somewhat slow Oh account OF the null
titude OF individual subscribers and the
small amounts of many of the allot-
ments. The latest figures furnished by
the Treasury Department state that out
of the whole 5000, OOO, 900 some ST.
900, 900 OF the bonds have been deliv-
cred TO $4,000 subscribers. This pre-
sumably covers the bulk Of the sub
scriptions for $500 or less. and it is in
timated that the subsequent deliveries
to subscribers for 81 900 or more will
proceed with such rapidi,y that the
work OF delivering the entire amount
will have been completed by Septem-
Der 10Th. 1t may be also noted that
less than $50 100000 remains unpaid
upon outstanding subscriptions, and
considering the enormous number of
subscribers and the pains which the
treasury officials have properly taken
to ferret out and disallow what are
termed dummy" subscribers, 1t may
be claimed that the closing up of the
transaction will have been reached in
u phenomenally brief time. 1t must,
Blackfoot news. (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1891-1902, 1898-09-10

however, be admitted that the delay in
delivering the bonds has had its dis
advantages. Attention is called else
where TO the fact that considerable
amount of bonds and allotments have
already passed by purchase into the
ownership Of national banks, which in
tend to take out additional circulation
upon the same. Inability to secure the
bonds at one necessarily limits the in
crease of the national bank circulation,
which would be extremely desirable at
this juncture, while for the same rea-
son banks are unable to furnish bonds
