General Wheeler Receives an

PROGRESS OF COEFEDERATE REUNION
Resolutions Offered Express Rejoic-
ing Over the End of Sectional Dis-
cord and the Foot That We Once
Again Are a United People.
CHARLESTON, May 12.——The Confed-
erate veterans held but one session yes-
terday, which shortly after noon gave
way to the Winnie Davis memorial ex—
ercises, at the conclusion of which an
adjournment until 10 o'clock today was
taken. The announcement that General
Joseph Wheeler was to speak filled the
Auditorium, and the hero of two wars
was given a rousing reception by the
immense audience.
After some general business, the fea-
ture of the session took place.
General Wheeler’s address, and the
scene that attended his introduction
was one of frantic enthusiasm.
The audience rose as General Wheeler
stepped forward, apparently much af—
fected. He wore a black Prince Albert
suit, with badges on each lapel of his
coat. One was yellow by chance, and
the other was red. He spoke deliberate-
ly, calmly and clearly, the audience
giving him close attention. His refer-
ence to the general sorrow caused by
the death of Winnie Davis affected
many to tears. He closed amid much
applause, and the orchestra played
“America.” ‘
Major William M. Robbins, the Con—
federate member of the Gettysburg Na-
tional park commission and ex—con-
gressman from Louisiana, offered this
resolution, which was referred:
“Whereas, The government of the
United States has undertaken and is
pushing forward the work of perma-
nently marking the lines and positions
of troops of both the contending armies
on several great battlefields of the civil
war, among them Gettysburg, Chicka-
mauga, Shiloh, Vicksburg and others,
with the design of making these bat-
tlefields perman .{t memorials of the
prowess of American soldiers without
respect of section,
“Resolved, That we, as Confederate
veterans, sympathize with and com-
mend this patriotic purpose of the gov-
ernment and will lend our influence and
aid toward its full realization.
“Resolved, That we trust the peop'le
of the southern states will take early
and effective steps to erect upon these
battlefields-suitable monuments in hon-
or of our glorious heroes in gray who
fought and died for what they believed
to be right.
“Resolved, That we rejoice with our
brethren throughout the Union that the
sectional discord of other days is end-
ed and that we are a reunited people
with one country and one flag.”
An effort is being made here to bring
about a grand reunion of Confederate
and Union veterans, and the matter will
be formally presented to the Confed-
erate Veterans’ association now in ses-
sion here. '
Dewey May Come Soon.
WASHINGT N, May 12.—-1‘i<fimiral
Dewey’s return to the United States
within a very short time has been as—
sured through an exchange of views
on the subject between the admiral and
the navy department. In answer to a
telegram from Admiral Dewey, in
which he expressed his desire in re—
gard to his home coming, Secretary
Long yesterday sent a 'dispatch au—
thorizing the admiral to return at his
own convenience and by any route or
means he chose. This telegraphic. cor—
respondence contained information def-
inite enough to justify the statement by
naval officials familiar with its contents
that Admiral Dewey would start for
iome very soon, probably in a few days,
and that he was expected to be here by
the middle of July. '
Spanish Cruisers In Good Condition.
Vv’ASHINGTC-N. May 12.—Admiral
Hichborn, chief of the bureau of con-
struction, has received a report from
Naval Constructor Capps, at Hongkong,
regarding the three captured Spanish
I cruisers Isla de Cuba, Isla de Luzon and
Don Juan de Austria, in which Con—
structor Capps states that a careful ex—
amination has shown that the vessels
are in considerably better condition
than was expected. The forecastle decks
of the Cuba and Luzon are found to be
in very fair condition. They are of teak
wood and will not have to be renewed,
rccalking‘being sufficient to put them
in first class condition.
Honor to the First Victim.
CLYDE, 0., May 12. — Thousands
gathered here yesterday to lay to final
rest the remains of George Burton
Meek, the first American sailor killed
in the Spanish-American war on board

monument of General James B. Mc-
Pherson, an Ohio hero. Governor Bush-
nell and staff, Senator Foraker, Lieu—
tenant Governor Jones and other dis-
tinguished visitors arrived early. Sena-
tor Foraker delivered the eulogy in the
afternoon and paid a fitting tribute to
the hero.

by the wife of Patrick Clark, the well

Clark is a bigamist. On that ground
in addition to desertion, his wife has
applied for a divorce. In October,1897,
he‘decided to visit Santiago for specu-
lative purposes. After he had been on
the island a few weeks he met. a. hand—
some lit-tlc Cuban girl, 23 years of age.
Clark fell in love with her.
He kept secret the fact that he had a
wife, two grown up daughters and
three sons in the Stat-es and posed as an
old bachelor. The wily senorita knew
that the old man who paidso much at-
tention to her was a speculator and
probably wealthy. Later she learned
that what she surmised
From‘ that time it was all over with
Clark.
The couple were married, and the
idea of speculation was abandoned and
arrangements were made by Mr. Clark
and his girl wife to live in retirement.
Everything she wished for was hers
and both enjoyed the luxuries of the
land.

frequently wrote to him regarding it.
She worried much over the matter and
finally consult-ed Dr. Bryan D. Shoedy.
After considering the case in all its
phases it was decided to take a trip to
the island and investigate for them-
selves. Dr. Shecdy went first and was
followed on the next boat by Mrs.
Clark. Arriving at. their destination
they commenced a quiet little investi-
gation and learned that Clark had mar-
ricd the second time.

In the meantime
Colonel Tyler of the Third had L'C'
signed and orders were also issued for
the election of his successor.
Lieut. Col. I-Icndrlie, then in com-
mand of the Fourth, called the meet-
ing of his officers earlier than that of
the Third, so he outranks Col. Havens
who was chOSeu by the latter regiment.
Colonel Burdett of the First regiment
a couple of weeks ago announced his
intention to retire and now comes from
Waterbury the news that Col. Burpee
of the Second intends to relinquish his
command. In each of these regiments
a new commanding officer will have to
be chosen and thus it. will come about
that Col. Hendrie, whose election. has
been approved at headquarters, will
become senior colonel of the guard.
Under General Frost, former colonel
of the Fourth,the'w0rk of reorganizing
the entire guard will go forward and it
is possible that at its completion he will
retire. in this event nothing will be
more natural than that; Col. Hendrie
will succeed him and one more will be
added to the list. of brigade command-
ers selected from the Fourth regiment.
