WILHELM IS , INTERESTED.
WILL EXPERIMENT WITH THE
NEW TELEGRAPHY.
Marcon is Disappointed in British In
terest-The French are Enthusiastic
over the Discovery-Other Views.

BERLIN, April 1.-Electricity is
making great strides i'm this country.
The Kaiser, through Professor Slabe,
keeps informed on every new discove-
ry He shows special interest in the
wireless biography, which he hopes to
use on his own yacht. 1t is understood
that he will try experiments when he
visits England.
The Pail Mall Gazette points out that
one possible drawback of wireless tel
egraphy will be the possibility of tap
ping the current and thus destroying
the secrecy of the message.
LONDON, April Another instance
of Londons conservatism is found in
Signor Marconis disappointment in
that up to the present time he has re-
ceiVed very little encouragement in
England of his system of wireless tel
egraphy. After a long time spent in
endeavoring to secure the support OF
England he has only now reached a
point where some official recognition is
being given to his experiments where
as France is very eagerly embracing
the opportunity to experiment with the
system.
NEW YORK, April IA cable to the
Sun from London says: Signor Marco
mis- wireless biography experiments
continue to attract much attention, but
he has failed to furnish an adequate
reply to Tesla's criticisms, which AFFECT
the commercial value of his system.
Professor Sylvanus Thompson makes
a most interesting contribution to the
discussion of the subject. He says:
about ten years ago one of the dyna-
mos in the Ferranti electric lighting
station, by some arrangement, be
came connected with the earth. The
result was that the whole telegraph
system and signal boxes on the rail-
way south of London were temporarily
put out of order. While the currents
were flowing through the earth their
effects were perceived in telegraph in
struments far north of Leicester and
far south of Paris.
Now, if this could occur as mere
accident it is obvious that with proper
arrangements signals could be easily
sent from one part of the globe to an
other by conduction through earth oil
water.
mine years ago l undertook serious
ly to establish telegraph communities
ton with the Cape of Good Hope pro
vided $4,000 was forthcoming to es-
tablish the necessary basal circuits ii
the two countries and the instruments
for creating the current. My offer was
considered too visionary, but the plar
was quite feasible. The principal thing
is to get adequate base lines or areas

VOLUNTEERS TO REMAIN.
Will be Retained With Or
ganizatiOn Unchanged.

WASHINGTON, March Sit was
stated at the war department today
that the provision of the army law al
lowing the retention in the service for
six months of the volunteers in the
Philippines has been construed to
mean the officers as well as the men,
and that volunteer organizations would
be retained just as they exist now.
General Otis was given large plenary
powers in the matter, but was instruc-
ted by cable to send all sick and woun-
ded home, as well as volunteers who
had exceptional reasons why they
should return home, such as the sup
port of families and the loss of proper
ty by reason of their absence. General
Otis will decide such questions on their
merits.
The volunteers in the Philippines will
not be mustered out until they can be
spared and the presence there of these
organizations the war department be-
lieVes makes it unnecessary to organize
the provisional army of $4,000 allowed
under the army law.

GENERAL WHEELER
ON The FILIPINO
He Gives His Views in a Private
Letter.
DELIGHTED With ISLANDS
Says the Evil Features of the Group
Have Been Exaggerated to Our
People-Will Be Home in
Time for Congress.
DELIGHTED With ISLANDS

Nashville, Tenn, November IA special
that General Joe Wheeler, in a letter to
Judge w. J.. Wood. of Florence, sating his
views on the Philippines questions, says:
ct am delighted with the Philippine
islands. I have no doubt that little push
and energy this fall will crush out the
Aguinaldo instruction. Out of 900 of
people in these islands, do not think that
he has more than 10000 soldiers, and in a
square fight 5000 Americans would tear
them to pieces. All that is necessary to
crush them out at once is for the army to
get at them and keep at them until the
work IS done.
'The evil features of these islands have
been exaggerated to our people. Their ex-
tent is so great from north to south and
THE variation of their altitude is such that
there is great variety of climate and of
productions. Americans will find this an
excellent field for their enegies, and the
wealth-producing powers of these islands
under American influence will be very
great.
"The action of some people i'm the United
States IN asserting fnat une people u uiie
Philippines ought to have independence
does a great deal of harm and assists Agui-
naldo in maintaining the instruction, as he
publishes all assertions by Americans of
that character, and he tells his supporters
that If they hold out until winter, independ-
ence will be given them. 1t also has bad
effect in this-that people who are disposed
ito be Favorable to US and who desire us to
govern the islands fear to assert them
selves, because they know that if they
should do SO and the Americans should
abandon them they would be in great dam
ger of their lives and in all probability their
property would be confseated.
"On the 9th of September 1 had a little
fight with the enemy at this point, but it
did not amount to much, although as i'm
portant as some engagements which have
been dignified in the papers as fights.
81 am sorry to say that much Which ap-
pears in the papers of the United States
is gross exaggeration. l expect to be on
hand for congress. With high regard,
truly your friend,
JOSEPH WHEELER"
