Gen. Wheeler Dead.

VII
Gen. Joe Wheeler, one of the
few remaining generals of the
Confederate army, died at his
home in New York Saturday OF
pneumonia. At the outbreak OF
the Spanish war Gen. Wheeler
promptly volunteered and did
splendid service in Cuba. He
accepted a commission as bri-
gadier general. after the war,
in the regular army and served
in the Philippines.
Imposing funeral services
were held in New York Sunday
and Monday in Washington,
where he was buried.
Washington, D. G. Jan. 81
The death of Gen. Joe Wheeler
has been received in Washington
with genuine regret. and the
decision Immediately arrived at
to bury him in Arlington with
all the honOrs that could be paid
to a deceased Union general is
not surprising. There was
never anything better calculated
to show that the Civil War was
over that the alacrity with which
the old Confederates and the
sons of Confederates went into
the war with Spain. OF course
Gen. Wheeler. as one of the
most noted cavalry commanders
of the south. was watched with
particular interest. An account
may be gwen by a man who saw
him through all of the Cuban
campaign. He says: Gen.
Wheeler was not only a good
commander, but he had the
experience and the faculty of
looking after his men and seeing
that his command was in shape
for whatever work it was called
on to do. In the climate of
Cuba, this was an important
factor. The best command in
the world could be knocked out
in two days by dysentary and
malaria if the men we're not
forced to take care of themselves,
and Gen. Wheeler had just the
sort of field experience to drive
this principle home on his
subaltern officers and men. I
do not know positively whether
the story is true about his calling
the Spaniards Yankees" in the
heat of battle. but l was up near
the front the evening after the
first fight and the story was go
ing around then and was being so
heartily laughed over by the men
that it certainly originated on
the spot whether it was true or
not. It was just after the
American forces had cleaned out
Kettle Hill and Gen. Wheeler's
cavalry command, which never
saw a horse after they left
Tampa, had come up oyer the
crest that the old General is
reported to have shouted so that
all around heard him, We've got
the Yanks going boys. Give
'em HE'LL They did.
General Wheeler lived at the
front with his command to the
surrender of Santiago and fought
it out on the spot with the
tropical malaria which was a
good deal worse than the Span
iards. There is no question at
all that he wanted to get killed
in the Santiago campaign and
die with his boots on. But
though he took all sorts of
