nance about Garcia that does not cling
around the larger form of his chief
In 1868, when Cuba rose against Spain.
Garcia was one Of the earliest of the
conspirators He met OF nights at the
farm house of Donate Marmol. near
Holguin. II was on the 10th day Of
October of that year that Garcia start
ed on the warpath. He led a band OF
$50 patriots and started upon march
of destruction from Holguin. His lit
tie army was victorious from the first
1t took every town it assailed, and KS
numbers swelled as the march pro-
ceeded. Santa Rita and Baire fell be-
fore the dashlng rebels. Jiguani. with
its population of 10000, capitulated,
and Garcia was made brigadier-gen-
eral under Gomez. who was then ne
now the commander-in-chief.
When the new provisional govern
ment OF Cuba went into effect during
the first revolution Gomez was remov-
ed and Garcia took his place. Tho
Spaniards had meanwhile retaken Jig
nani and Garcia addressed himself to
the task of remaking his conquest of
the city. Once his victorious soldiers
marched on the city and it once more
fell before him His ambition was
now to take Holguin, consecrated TO
him by his early conspiracies there and
the fact that it was from that city
that he set out on his march of victo-
ries. The unconquerable young man
set his head toward Holguin and took
Il by storm. His name was waxing
great. The record Of his victories
from that time on is glorious one.
Buagano. Cupijal, zarsal and Santa
Maria were overridden and beaten into
surrender. During this short but very
brilliant campaign several prominent
Spanish officers were killed and others
taken prisoners. His work after that
was often crowned with victory, al
though he sometimes met defeat. In
1873 the force Of overwhelming num-
berg drove him back. and his escape
from the Spanish was inevitable. He
had little faith in Spain's elemency,
and while his pursuers were in sight of
him he placed the muzzle of his pistol
in his mouth and fired The bullet

out through the skin of his head. His
enemies were certain that he was dead

His attempt at self-destruction prob
ably saved his life. He was sent TO
Spain and was kept in prison until, at
the request of Campos. he was releas-
ed He spent u short time in Paris,
and thence went to New York.
But the rebellion was not yet COM
pletely crushed, and Garcia made one
more mad dash against tyranny. all
to no purpose. He was again saptur-
ed, but was again released, this time
By BlaEeo. The general was deported
to Madrid. where he lived until 1876 in
exile under the eyes of the police.
When the last revolution broke out
Gen. Gomez was rendered the chiftaio-
ship of the Cuban forces. 1t may well
be imagined how intense was Garcis's
desire to return to the scenes OF his
early triumphs. He set to work 10
outwit the police.a which he did BY
laughing at the idea of the Cuban revo-
luton, and while denouncing the reo-
els made outward preparation to stay
in Madrid indefinitely. Then one night
he suddenly slipped out of Madrid ard
was soon safe in Paris. He returned
to America and was soon taken up ny
the junta and sent to the field as brig
adler general.

+, According to the Boston Traveller
recent events point to the falling be-
kind of the Latin races in the march
Of civilization. Old abuses with them
seem to linger, abuses which have
been stamped out long since by their
sturdier Saxon brethren. France in
Che lola trial has shown the world
defects in her judicial and administra-
zion systems that the English trial by
Jury would not have permitted even
tvo centuries ago. Spain, in attempt
ing to crush Cuba, shows the same
crude methods which disgraced Alva
in the Netherlands. In the desire for
better observance OF international law
and freedom Of trade, too. our Latin
brothers seem to be sadly lacking, II
recent events count for anything, they
seem to point to the future supremacy
Of the Anglo-Saxon.

Advices of Wednesday FROM Madrid
state that there seems to be renewal
Of the revolutionary feeling all through
Spain.
Emilio CASTELAR,, who has hitherto
kept we'll in the background, has made
several bitter attacks on the queen re-
gent, for which he has been threatened
with prosecution. 1t is generally be-
lieved that seeing the overthrow of the
government to be inevitable, he as
pires TO the leadership in new Span
ish republic.
In the Spanish senate, Wednesday,
Count Casa Valencia asked 'if the
news Of the American repulse at San
tiago de Cuba was official?"
The minister Of marine, Captain
Aunon, replied affirmatively, adding:
''The news is good augury for fur
Their victories which the courage and
high merit OF our sailors give reason
to hope for"
The senate unanimously ''noted with
satisfaction the brilliant victory of the
Spanish feet"
The attentiontion Of the public Is
absorbed in the condition Of the Bank
of Spain, which is considered more
serious than any reverses Of war, mas
much as the impossibility Of the bank
to help the government means impos-
sibility to continue the var.
There was o long procession at the
bank during the day. All classes Of
people were represented and many
women were in line waiting their turn
to change notes into silver, fearing
that notes wonld soon be subjected to
discount.
II the run continues there is danger
OF the banks stock Of silver becoming
exhausted, which would compel the
government to resort to forced cur
rency, issuing notes of small denomi-
nation. 1t is hoped however, that the
panic will subside, leaving the bank q
margin Of silver.
The financial outlook Of Spain is
rather dark. The government has en-
trusted the Bank OF Spain with the
negotiations for loan Of l 800, 900, 900
pesetas at per cent, which sum is to
be raised when required. The bank
will endeavor to raise the loan at home
and abroad.

notice some time ago, and she at once
began a correspondence with Assist
ant Surgeon General Sem, to see what
might be done.
Mrs. Letter was told that perma-
nent hospital to supply more comforts
than the ordinary field shelter was
what was chiefly needed and the Chick
nmsuga park hotel upon the grounds
near Crswfish springs was thought to
be most suitable. This building Mrs.

ment.

There is common notion that Amer
lea is the only country in which there
hss been rapid growth of cities.
The Americans are so accustomed to
consider that their country is in all
respects vastly superior to all others
chat they give very little attention to
what is done elsewhere. But the de-
sire of human beings to crowd together
In cities is one Of the striking peculiar
tiles of the present age, and, as 4 re
suit, there has been an enormous
growth Of cities in every country.
Take, for instance, the city Of Berlin
i'm 1858 it had about 100000 popula'
sion. In 1898 its population IL l. $780,.
600. In 1851 the population Of Liver.
pool, including Birkenhesd, on the
opposite side OF the river Mersey, was
about 500, 1000. In 1889 II was 94O,.
900 and to-day is over ono million
souls. The city Of London Il another
Interesting example. In 1861 the
population embraced in the registrar
generals district was 1000, 900 and a
title over. In the same district, In
1896, the census showed 4.4ll, 900.
Ct would be difficult, even in the
United States, to find more rapid
growth Of the population Of cities than
shat stated above; but it is more tho
rude than the exception.
