A Remarkable Coincidence in the Ca

A Remarkable Coincidence in the Ca
reer of Two of the Presidents.
Washington Capital.
There was an unusual number of yisi-
tors to pay respects" at the White House
yesterday. I happened to see some few
who went in a little in advance Of the
crowd. They were taken in by twos or
in small groups by friends and introduced
to the President, who had gotten through
with the business of the morning and
gave to the strangers a pleasant greeting.
He made an agreeable impression upon
all, and there was one party, who were
evidently from a small town IN New
York, once the boyhood home of the
President. He at once referred to his
life in this country village, telling them
how long his father had preached there,
then of his own experience as a school
teacher, giving the exact spot where he
taught and the name of the family with
whom he boarded.
And then he told what | had never
heard before, that General Garfield had,
two years later, taught in the same place,
boarded with the same family and occu-
pied the same room. He said he had
talked about this with General Garfield
years after, and they had compared notes
and laughed over the amusing incidents
which befel them both as country school
teachers. [ thought the President en-
joyed talking about his early days and
was quite as pleased to recall them as his
visitors were to see that he had treasured
up such memories of humble beginnings.

Detailed Account of his Movements
Since he Landed in Cuba.
The following is q trustworthy account
of AguerOs movements from the time he
landed until he penetrated into the rich
Jurisdictions of Colon and Cienfuegos:
Soon after landing he took to the dense
forests, but prior to doing so he obliged
the authorities of a neighboring settle
ment to furnish him with substantial
breakfast. Until the 9th nothing was
heard Of him. On that day he appeared
ON the plantation Mercedes de Junco,
near the village of SimOnar, where there
is post of civil guards and volunteers.
On this plantation he found three negroes
in the stocks. These and others he lib
Grated, placing in the stocks the over
seer of the slaves. He then proceeded to
the plantation Olimpo, whence a messen-
ger was despatched to Cardenas. who re-
turned with provisions. The march was
continued to the plantation Suris, where
the party seized large number of horses

On the 8th the whole party was at Man
quito, of the civil guard and the station
and warehouse of the railroad at that
point.
Several newspapers severely criticise
the inability of the authorities toprompt-
ly annihilate these insurgents, who are
now so formidable. A leading journal
of this city says:
'The numerous forces of this govern
ment have commenced very unluckily
their second campaign against this cele-
/ brated bandit; for, so far from meeting
him face to face, he and his party crossed
/ in front of their very noses, and escaped
I sound and safe from the reighborhood
of Cardenas to that of the swamps OF
/ Zapata, where he now is. 1t is, there
fore, not sufficient that Gen. Castillo
should send powerful bodies of troops to
pursue the insurgents; it is necessary that
such troops should be commanded by
officers who know what they are about

prisoner could be delivered before 2

tonight. Before dark he asked permits

An effort was made to communicate
with Sheriff Lambright by telegraph to

when the following reply was received:
