GEN. WHEELER's RESIGNATION.
Was Sent by Mail and Is in the Pres
ident's Hands.

Washington, March 10-It appears that
Gen. Wheeler did tender his resignation
last fall. 1t was dated Nov. 2S at place
called Paniqui, on the island of Luzon'
and was not cabled, but came by the slow
process of the mails.
Moreover it did not come directly to the
war department, but went to the White
House, where it has been reposing since
its arrival in Washington. The war de-
partment officials have just learned of 1t.
The Generals resignation was not ac-
oiepted promptly by the President, out OF
consideration foI the officer Instead ne
wAs ordered to report to the war depart
ment at Washington. His resignation will
be accepted here, and the effect of this
action will be to allow the officer his mile
age and expenses to Washington. The
resignation read as follows:
PAINFUL, Island of Luzon, the Philip
pines Nov. 2S, 1899.
ITO the President, Executive Mansion,
Washington, D. C. Sir: The insurgent
government is virtually destroyed. Aguin-
aldo is a fugitive in the northern prov
inces; his cabinet and congress are scat
tered. The president of the Filipino con-
gress is here and from what he says
think 1t will be impossible for their con
gress ever to reconvene. The various
commands of the insurgent generals ara
reduced to mere skeletons and fly before
us so fast that it is impossible to get with
in gun range.
II therefore respectfully tender my resig-
nation as an officer in the volunteer forces
of the United States.
"Very respectfully,
Joseph Wheeler,

Jail Carefully Guarded.

Jail Carefully Guarded.
There is much suppressed excitement
among the local Goebel politicians, as if
a coup were in prospect, but 1t is i'm
possible to learn it's true inwardness. The
jail is carefully andsstrongly guarded dur
ing the night. Powers and Davis would
not be allowed bail
All the soldiers that attended Powers
and Davis went on through on the same
train, presumably to Ashland KY. They
were not moleste9 by the officers, and
Lieut.. Peake was taken because of his
effort to resist the officers.
DR.. Helm, the city physician, dressed
the wounds of Secretary of State Powers.
The officers say he showed fight and re-
sisted and was clubbed in the car and
not in jail
Powers showed no concern for the howl
ing crowds along the street, but Capt
Davis was apprehensive of violence. The
distinguished prisoners are kept in sepa-
rate cells and not allowed to see each
other or to see other prisoners or any one
except their guards.
Previous to the arrival of the train the
sheriff was telephoned from Frankfort
that he would get a reward of 81 200 for
Powers and $500 for Davis if they were
apprehended here. 1t is thought that they
will be taken back to Frankfort without
