Naval Review OF WarshIps

Washington, d c. Aug. Is The
navy department 10 considering the
project of naval review in New
York hsrbor. when the battleships
and cruisers under Admiral Sampson
arrive there. Efforts have been
made to induce the department to
have review OF the ships and land
review Of the sailors. 1t is probable
that the tihaI decision will be to have
the war vessels to go up the river to
Graut's tomb at Riverside and there
fire a salute, the trip to the tomb
affording the public a sufficient OPP
portunity to review the ships with

Nashville, Tenn. Aug. II Post
master A. W. Willis received let.
ter from Gen. Joe Wheeler to-day,
dated Santiago de Cuba, July p,
1897. in which Gen. Joe Wheeler
says, referring 10 newspaper reports
concerning Gen. Shafter:
1 think the criticism upon Gen.
shafter were very unjust. He has
had a hard task and has performed
it successfully and we'll He is a
man of more thsn ordinary brain
power aud administrative ability.
The criticism that be did not place
himself on the freiug hae is redic-
ulous, as on July l be was carrying
on two fights at the same time-one
at Caney and one at San Juan He
had some reserves and had TO place
himself where be could --e both
fights and manage the whole affair
which he did efficiently. With very
high regards, truly your friend

A LETTER FROM GEN. WHEELER.
He Describes Spanish Notifications and
Conditions in Santiago.


Conditions in Santiago.
Chattanooga, Tenn, August IL =
A friend of Gen. Wheeler has re.
ceived the following letter from the
General:

tied Moro Castle. 1t is a very
extensive fertilization, and very
complete and perfect for the old
style of fifty years ago. II consists
of a number Of forts, all we'll ar
ranged to defend. The bombardment
of the navy did very little material
damage to this fort The main
defense which the Spaniards de-
pended upon for the harbor defense
were other forts of recent date and
occupied by modern guns, also
visited the four Spanish warships
which were wrecked by the navy on
July 3. The Reina Mercedes lies
sunk at the entrance of the harbor,
but not in position TO interfere
with navigation. Her deck is above
water, except on one side, which is
just below the surface. The Maria
Teresa is BY the shore just west of
the harbor. The Almirante Oauendo
lies a short distance west of the
Maria Teresa. These ships, or at
least one Of them, may be saved and
put in our service. The Vizcaya was
run ashore about four miles west of
this point.
The Cristobal Colon ran forty
two miles westward before being
overtaken and captured. The VIZ
caya is completely burnt out and is
only valuable as so much iron She
has two IL inch guns, about 40 feet
long, and several smaller ones, which
appeared to me to be serviceable
| The climate, coupled with bardships
and exposure. has caused much
sickness in the army. Every general
except one has been quite sick, and
all the staff officers have had an
attack except one native Cuban.
After the battle OF June "a General
Shafter directed me to take command
of all the troops on shore. This
made it necessary for me to thor
oughly examine the country, so as
to locate the troops near water, on

fever disappear
Santiago is quaint old city.
The streets are very narrow, the
widest being about % feet from
house to house, many of them being
much lees. The best streets are
paved, but with rare exceptions they
slope downward toward the center,

of underground sewerage, and this
