DEATH OF GENERAL WHEELER
Veteran of Two Wars Passes Away in
Brooklyn, N. Y.
Gen. Joseph : Wheeler,. the famous
confederate cavalry leader and a bri-
gadier general of the United States
army since the war with Spain, died
at the home of his sister, Mrs. Sterl-
ing Smith, Brooklyn. The veteran of
two wars was 69 years old, but in
spite of his age there was hope until
the day of his death of his recovery
from the attack of pneumonia.
General Wheeler was a native of
Georgia. He graduated from West
Point academy in 1859, being immedi-
ately commissioned a lieutenant of
cavalry and sent to serve on the fron-
tier of New Mexico. Like many of his
brother officers he resigned in 1861
and cast his fortunes with the confed-
eracy, receiving to begin with, a com-
mission as lieutenant of artillery.
This was followed by successive pro-
motions to command of a regiment,
brigade and division.
When only 26 years old, Gen.
Wheeler was assigned to the com-
mand of the army corps of cavalry
of the western army of the confeder-
acy and there he achieved a reputation
At Chickamauga he harried
Rosecrans’ supply train, capturing and
destroying millions of dollars worth of
munitions. He was the untiring foe
of Sherman during his march to the
sea. - When peace came he was the |
senior cavalry general of the confed- |
|
|
|
erate army. The end of hostilities
meant the end of the war for him.

Fire Breaks Out in a Hotel After

MORE IN THE BURNING RUINS
Many Injured in Panic Are Rescued
by the Firemen and Police.
Three lives were lost by the burn-

Harding, Somerville, Mass.; Christine
Nelson, cook; Miss Josephine £en-
neston, nurse, Franklin Falls, 'N oH),
The fire started a few minutes be-
fore 2 o'clock, A. M., and the flames
rapidly communicated to various parts
of the structure. A large number of
guests were in the hotel, and those
who were in the upper part of the
building had little chance to escape
by the stairways.
The firemen, at 2:30 o'clock, found
the dead bodies of six women in the
top floor of the hotel.
There is some doubt, however, about
the number of fatalities. It is thought

‘ $350,000.
John A. McCali, former presidentiof
the New York Life Insurance co
pany, parted with the summer paces
he erected and furnished at Long
Branch at an expense of $600,000. The
place was sold to Myron E. Oppen-
heim, a lawyer. The purchase was
made for a client who is not now
in this country. The purchase price
was in the neighborhood of $350,000,
little more than half the sum expend-
ed by Mr. McCall upon the place.
Of this amount Mr. McCall receives
only about $100.000, as the property
is encumbered with mortgages
amounting to $250,000.
The principal encumbrance on the
place is a mortgage for $150,000 giv-
en by Mr. McCall to the New York
Life as security for notes to that
amount which he turned over to the
trustees on the Andrew Hamilton ac-
count.

Doomed Steamer.
The steamer Valencia, which was en
route from oan Francisco with 94
passengers and a crew of 60, went
ashore on the Vancouver Island coast,
near Cloose, and a large number were
drowned when attempting to leave
the ship.
Although the latest news from the
wreck of the Valencia is conflicting
it is probable 140 lives were lost,
while only 15 persons were saved.
A report from the steamship Queen,
that 25 passengers were clinging to
the vessel's rigging with little chance
of saving any of them, was followed
by the story that the wreck had gone
to pieces.
A correspondent on board the Cal-
vor has wired from Bamfield as fol-

CRUISERS MISSING TWO MONTHS
Believed to Be at Bottom of Sea Be-
cause of Mutiny of Crews.
Three of Russia’s giant armored
cruisers, composing what was known
as the Vladivostok squadron, it is
asserted, have been missing for two
months, since they put to sea from
Vladivostok, and. it is believed, says
a New York Herald dispatch from St.
Petersburg, that all three ships, with
their complement of 2,115 officers and
men, have gone to the bottom of the
sea. The ships are the Rossia,
Gromoboi and Bogatyr.
It is known that three ships left
Vladivostok under sealed orders
about the middle of November last
and laid their course along the coast
of Japan. The crews of all three war-
ships were in a mutinous mood, fired
to rebellion by informatjon received
about the revolt of their brother sail-
ors on the battleship Kniaz Potemkin,”
in the Black sea.
A flotiila of torpedo boats was sent
to escort the big cruisers: and the
commanders of the smaller craft had
orders to fire their torpedoes at and
sink the cruisers at the first sign of
insubordination. That this is what
happened in the belief to-day in St.
Petersburg, and it is feared that
officers and men on the three ships
all perished.

The wool market is in a firm posi-

Advices from Cape Beale say 15
men have arrived, one of whom is the

They reported a passenger list of -94
and a crew of 60 and said when they
left the wreck yesterday morning,
