CAUSE OF WHEELER'S RETURN
FAILURE OF OTIS TO GIVE HIM
ACTIVE SERVICE.
Friends do Not Believe the Story of
Failing Health and Inability to
Stand Climate.

New York, Jan. 1S.-A special from
Washington TO the Herald says: No
doubt exists in the minds of friends OF
Brigadier General Joseph Wheeler that
his return from the Philippines in COM
pliance with his own request is due to
the failure Of General Otis to give him
active eervice in the field.
In certain quarters an effort is made
to attribute General WheeleT's return
to inability to stand the climate. and
to his age. In refutation of the former,
his friends point to a statement he
made after visiting the American lines,
the impression that the new country
is unhealthy is wrong" Regarding MS
age, it is pointed out that he is only
about Q year older than General Otis.
The orders to General Wheeler to re-
turn were cabled about week ago.
