GHT1NG JOE WHEELER TALKS OF THE WAR. the Volunteer* are Not Mustered Out Before Congress Meets lie Will Resign From the Army. Washington, Aug 20.?Some General Wheeler's friends repriced to him when ho was here at his appearance suggested that other campaign like Santiago juld act upon htm like the spring perpetual youth. He is a lit) thinner than before he went to the wur, hut is bronzed and s eyes are bright, his step ringy and his movements full of ergy. Ho looks five years mtigor than before he endured e hardships of the campaign. General Wheeler will remain the army until the volunteers ider his command are mustered it, or until December, llis reaction to congress is said to bo sureu, practically without op sition, and the assembling of ingress will demand his attention ter December. The general speaks modestly out his part in the Santiago | mpnign, in fact, does not talk out himself at all, and accepts ingratulations with extreme t odesty. But ho speaks in very gh praise of the American ary, and says it has demonstrated lat in this country we can raise 1 army in a short time capable f contending against the army of ly nation on earth. The spirit id courage of the men, he da. ares, are indomitable, and with rill and training they become e best soldiers that can be con ived. The Cuban soldiers, he said, ere ragged and half-famished, id so ^debilitated that as much lould not be expected of them as me seem to expect, and nioreirer, the difference of custom, ode of life and language led to a ,ek of understanding between 1 " ie*n ana our own people. lie >und, howover, that if care was iken to employ competent inirpretors and to explain to them illy purposes and motives, they cepted tho situation and acted > the best of theii ability. As n example of this, he spoke of a alonel of tho Cuban army who ?j?orted to hiui to co-o|>erate 'ith the American army. "1 told him," to report to leneral Chaffee for orders. To ais he replied that he had his rders from the commanding Cuan general; but when 1 explained a him with care tno impossibility f co-operation if ho followed the rders of tho Cuban general, intead of the American general he ccepted tho situation and reportd to General Chaffee. The general said further that rhon he first went into battlo the reat difference between the Conns i: < L. iviuus surrounding mo ngui now nd those surrounding the great attles of the war impressed him trongly. "During the war," ho said, 'we fought at close range and here was tremendous noise and moke. In this war the range f fire was eight hundred yards r more and there was very little oise and the use of smokeless towder disposed of the smoke ol tattle. "I saw probably the first mar itruck in the fight. He was neai k.u > nULK IILU ' UsJd. me and 1 wont to him just as he had fallen and could see no mark where he had been hit, yet he was in the last agony of death and died almost instantly. I had heard no noise, 1 had seen nothing, and could not even see the wound on him, and yet he was dying. We undid his belt, and there was just the least hole where tho ball had gone through his body. The range of fire is so great with the modem guns that distance seemed to make little difference in the matter of danger. There is no such thing as seeking safety in the rear of the line of fire. "When we got to I within live hundred yards practically < he whole arm v was exposed I to the fire, those in the rear being in danger as well as those for| ward." Speaking of the capture of San Juan hill, General Wheeler said : it had not been his intention to j make the assault when they did, ; that they marched up to a cerI tain point, and intended to re; main there. lie was in command, and two considerations led him to | j order the army to go ahead. One j was that they were exposed to | fire where they were, and were in j as much danger at that distance 1 as they would be in making the ftHHRlllt nml onnlKoi* ???" !.?* I ? ?" *v? i*(ivbuv;i n 00 unit General Lawton's command, which was to come up from the southeast, might havo advanced to a position where the assistance of the forces under General Wheeler would he needed. "The depressing condition of ' affairs on the first of July when the dispatches received here caused much anxiety, and even fear of disaster," General Wheeler said, "was due to the absolute discomfort and suffering of the whole army having hsd to wade through the San Juan river wet | to their skins, and not being in a condition to withstand a severe attack by a strong force; but I determined that, after the progressive victories which had been won by our troops, the Spaniards would not be in a condition to | make such an attack any more i than our troops were to repel it, and we stood our ground, and j future events speedily terminated all thought of retiring from u foot of ground we had occupied.
