GEANCE DEVELOPED.
Cuban Soldiers VIII Not Be Per-
nitted to Plumber Captured Cities
Cuban Junta Deplores a Rup-
ture and Approves the American
Policy.

Washington, July 20.-Senor Quesada
and other representatives Of the Cuban
junta have been in consultation with
officials of the war department today.
The United States officials were as
sured that there was no dissatisfaction
with the management OF affairs in
Cuba, so far as the Cuban representa-
tives were concerned, and that if Gen
eral Garcia and other Cubans operat-
ing about Santiago were not in har-
mony with the United States authori-
ties, ii arose from q miSunderStand-
ing from the presidents proclamation
and of the intentions of the United
States government in the premises.
The Cubans at Santiago, it was stated,
probably thought that the action of
General Shafter meant the continue
ton of Spanish rule and Spanish
authority. 1t being well understood
here that such was not the case, il was
the belief OF the Cuban representatives
that when the matter was made plain
to the Cuban officers in the field they
would acqUiesce in the action of the
United States and render the United
States army hearty support. The
CubanS assured the war officials that
nothing was further from their desires
than rupture with the United States
forces and authority.
II also became known that the JunJa
had sent dispatches to General Garcia
and other Cuban officers, that their
course at Santiago was not approved
by the junta, and if persisted in would
result in serious injury to the Cubans.
The opinion was expressed at the war
department that the better class of
Cubans in the island will have no
sympathy with those who would bring
about trouble. but that it is the lower
and vicious classes who desire to loot
and plumber the city.
New York, July 2O.-Counsel H. S. ]
Rubens of the Cuban junta expressed /
his disbelief in the reports from Santa !
go of American dissatisfaction with /
the Cuban insurgent soldiery. Mr.. /
Rubens said the junta had no informal
ton bearing on the report that General /
Garcia had refused to attend the flag
raising at Santiago because the Ameri- !
can general had given orders to allow |
no Cuban soldiers TO enter the town.
Mr.. Rubens said that if General. /
refused Cuban soldiers entry to i
Santiago, it was a mere matter Of

Cities to Be occupied-Good Climate
and Lots of Food.
New York, July pa special to the
Tribune from Washington says: While
the details of General Miles plan of
operations in Porto Rico are not di-
vulged, it is known that they are
wholly unlike those necessitated by the
peculiar conditions at Santiago. In
stead of having a single city as an
objective, General Miles has got to Sc
cure control of an entire island and
occupy a number of cities, establish
ing a system of thorough and effective
government in all its districts. The
chief city of San Juan can be only
taken by the navy in cooperation with
large force, ashore, as it is practi-
cally impregnable on its Landslide, ex-
cept by tedious siege with heavy
artillery. The island is, in round num-
oers, a hundred miles long and 40
miles wide, and even its unhealthiest
coast ports are seldom visited by yell
low fever.
Most of the Spanish troops in Porto
Rico are gathered at San Juan and it
is General Miles intention to land at
least SO miles from that stronghold
and occupy other important places
while the heavy double turreted mont
tors and other armored vessels of the
navy destroy San Juan's Qualifications
and compel its surrender by lombard

.RUNOR THAT GARCIA IS DEAD
NOT KNOWN IN CUBA, WHERE
IT OCCURRED.
Report Comes From Kingston, and
Is Apparently Not Entitled to
Much Weight-Record of the
Cuban General.

New York, July 20.-A Kingston,
! Jamaica, special to the Evening Post
says: Cubans arriving from Siboney
Garcia. They make a mystery of it,
/ saying that it is not known in Cuba
/ yet and the United States, for reasons
of state and government Spanish
here who are officially connected with
General Blanco believe the story.
Horatio 5. Rubens, counsel for the
Junta, said this afternoon that news
of Garcia's death had not been re-
ceived at headquarters, but commune
cation with the Cuban forces is ir-
regular.
I am greatly surprised" he said,
but do not find it hard to credit the
dispatch. During the assault on Santi-
ago Garcia was in the west with his
command, with the special duty of in
tercepting reinforcements and cutting
off the retreat of the Spanish soldiers
When the city fell his duty there
was at an end. But il appears the
planned. Manzanillo lies to the west
and it is possible, therefore, that
Shafter detailed Garcia's command to
cut of reinforcementS there. Holguin
lies near ManZanillo, and was garri-
soned by a considerable force, as the
American general must have known. 1t
IS not unlikely that Garcia and his
men came into conflict with a body of
Spanish soldiers, bound from Holguin
for Manzanillo.'
CaliXto Garcia in his Goth year,
ana was regarded by the Cuban in
surgents as one of their most intrepid
soldiers In the ten years war his skill,
bravery and energy won him continued
promotion until he received a gen.
erals star. In an action in 1874, Garcia
was surrounded by Spanish troops
Rather than surrender he shot himself
through the chin, with suicidal intent.
he lived and was sent to Spain. He
was released in 1877 when the peace of
Zanjon was declared. Garcia at once
set out for New York and organized an
expedition to Cuba. He landed in
Santiago de Cuba, but was taken
prisoner a second time. He eluded the |
vigilance of the prison guards in Spain |
one night, after a Is years imprison-
ment, and fed to England
Garcia was the promoter of the |
Hawkins expedition which left this |
city in January. 1896, with 300 men |
and large cargo of supplies and |
ammunition. The vessel sunk He next
ltted out the Bermuda, which was
seized upon the eve of her departure |
IN February, 1896, by a United States
marshal. and his deputies. Garcia was
and released in $500 bail. He

These batteries are the first in the
American army to be equipped ex-
clusively with smokeless powder and

eral on this account. General Miles
does not expect TO be dependent upon
subsistence stores forwarded from this
country during his campaign, as was
the case with the army in Santiago.
Forto Rico has not been devastated by
the SpanlardS and ii is believed that
American gold will buy all the food
there that is necessary for the troops
Fresh meat will probably be found in
as great abundance as it is in most
states of the union, and altogether no
difficulty is anticipated in living on

several more notable portraits of local
people One of the best of the collec-
ton is a splendid and very artistic
likeness of Mrs. ]. W. Winter. The
coloring is delicate and harmonious
and the pose is graceful and studied
without being affected. Much atten-
ton is paid to detail and the effect of
the whole is charming Another very
handsome work is a likeness of Miss
Hinnigan. This is work in which the
subject is shown to excellent adyan-
tage. Ewing has been commissioned
for some ivory and porcelain work for
