May Be More Fighting

Decatur, Ala., Sept. 13. - Just after the funeral of his son, Naval Cadet Wheeler, General Wheeler surprised a party of friends by declaring in his modest and characteristic manner that he did not believe that the war between the United States and Spain had ended. He said: "The Spanish-American war is not one which is to be settled as easily as some people are inclined to believe. I believe, as sincerely as I ever believed anything, that this government will have more trouble with Spain. The Spaniarda never know when they are defeated, and they, that is the masses of the people of Spain, are of the opinión that there was no need for their government to have given up so soon. President Not Sanguine. "Indeed," continued General Wheeler, "President McKinley is not at all sanguine of peace. He told me personally not a great many hours ago that he had no faith that the peace commission would be able to come to satisfactory terms with the Spaniards. This belief on his part is based on the Philippine situation. Spain will refuse to give up the Philippines, and of course," continued the general, emphasizing his last words, "we cannot think oí such a thing as glving them up and will not. President McKinley is deeply andgravely concerned over the situation and is spending sleepless nights over it."
