rived from Washington shortly after 6
o'clock this morning and the day was spent
In visiting the iron works of the Carnegies
at Homestead and the Firth Stirling pro-
jeetle plant at Demmler.
Public Reception Held
Later, a public reception was held at the
Americas club house when an opportunity
was given several thousand Pittsburgers
to shake hands with the heroes of Santiago
eral Wheeler was asked If the report was
true that he had been assigned to the de-
partment OF Texas.
II hope not" he replied quickly. IT want
to go to the Philippines. There are several
good fights left in me yet, and l think 1
could serve my country best in active SER
vice in the field. I have not given up hope
of being sent to Manila. Have you any
news from Lawton?"
The general was shown the headline in a
newspaper and chuckled when he read that
the Americans had just gained a signal VIC
tory over the Filipinos. General Wheeler
said that he had great faith in the volun-
teers in service in the east
An effort was made to get an expression
from Admiral Schley on Admiral Kautz' s
letter, but he simply waived the question
away With smile and with gestures signi-
flying that he did not care to open his mouth
while sucRa subject was under discussion.
Gen. Wheeler was accompanied to Pitts
burg by his daughters. The distinguished
party will return to Washington tomorrow
except General Wheeler, who goes west.

WHEELER'S ASSIGNMENT.
Prefers Active Duty to the Command of
Department of Texas

Washington, April 27.-(Special.)-Ge
Wheeler is in Pittsburg tonight being en-
tertained at Grant banquet. Before leav-
ing he said he had been offered the position
OF commanding general of the department
of Texas, which is to be re-established, and
the general intimated, for his special bene-
fit.
He said he did not want the assignment
and made it clear to the war department
that he preferred active service in the
Philippines, unless General Lawton is en-.
tirely successful in his campaign against
the Filipinos. 1t is a forlorn hope, unless
1t is a success there is not much doubt
that the $1,000 volunteers will be called
for by the president.
In that case General Wheelers services
may become absolutely necessary in the
Philippines. Otherwise, he will probab y
go to Texas.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the we'll known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the

the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be

is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-

liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.

JUST KILL EN- OFF,
Says Grover Cleveland Satiri-
cally, IL Filipin0s Don't
Want Our Government.

Princeton. N. J., Jan 5.-Ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland in reply to the request
of a representative of the Associated
Press for an expression on the Ques-
ton of expansion said:
Il do not care to repeat my views
concerning the prevailing epidemic of
imperialism and territorial expansion
Assuming. however. that my ideas on
the subject are Anticipated and unsuited
to these progressive days, it is a matter
Of surprise to me that the refusal OF
certain natives of our new possessions
jecting them to our control and manage
ment should in the least disturb our ex-
pansfonists. This phase of the situa-
ton ought not to have been Unantici-
pated nor the incidents naturally grow
ing out of it overlooked The remedy
IS obvious and simple. The misguided
inhabitants of our new territory who
prefer something different from the
plan for their control which we pro-
posed, or who oppose our designs in
their behalf, should be slaughtered The
killing of natives has been a feature of
expansion since expansion began and
our imperialiStic enthusiasm should not
be checked by the OSpeGtive necessity
Of destroying a few thousand or a few
hundred thousand Fi1ipinOs. This should
only be regarded as one stage in
transcendentaIIy great movement a
some unprepared souls would then be
lost before we had the opportunity of
christening them. but surely those of
our cIergymen VINO have done so much
to encourage expansion could manage
that difficulty"

all interested in the test were concealed

considerable anxiety among the fami-

GOMEZ WILL COME
To Havana Only After the spaniards
Are All Gone.

New York, Jan. 5.-A dispatch TO the
Tribune from Havana says:
The address of Gomez receives var
ious comments. Gomez was known to
oppose the Cuban celebration and now
his characterization Of the island as
neither free or independent yet is inter-
preted to mean that he wants to en-
phasize the temporary nature of Amerf-
can control. American military COM
nanders themselves have impressed
this on the Cuban leaders, SO that no
controversy can arise at this stage
GCmez's declaration that the first duty
is to provide for payment for insurgent
soldiers has been anticipated by news
from WaShin gtOn, and his statement
that it IS necessary for the Cuban peO-
pie to terminate the Intervention in the
shortest time possible is accepted as a
challenge for CubanS who favor annex
alton to declare themselves
The remaining Spanish troops will be
embarked from Matanzas and Glen
fuegos within a fortnight, and then
Gomez will come TO Havana Reports
received from the interior of the island
indicate the willingness OF the insur-
gents to disarm if left to themselves

Referring to Harris, the new member
from Lyon cG1nty, who had asked the
house to be careful about passing the
bill, he said that the man who came
from the home of the late Charles Cross
should be ashamed to oppose the bill

explanation soon as Fitzgerald sat
down He said that he had not opposed
the bill but simply asked that it be con-
Sidered carefully. % come from the
