THE ATTITUDE OF CUBANS
Quesada Says They Obey as Well as They
Fight for Freedom.
They Are Being Notified of Peace as
Rapidly as Possible-Allega-
tfOns Reruted,

Senior Gonzalo de Quesada, the Cuban
charge d'affairs. said this morning that the
best refutation Of the stories regarding the
continued hostilities between the Cubans
and the Spaniards in Cuba was the an
nouncement from Madrid that Gen. Blanco
had not been ordered, as former Spanish
advices alleged, to take measures against
the insurgents.
"The unconfirlned report from London
which declared that 500 insurgents were
killed in Cuba he remarked, lis unques-
tionably based upon reports from the Phil
fppines, as no place or date was indicated.
The Cubans are being informed as rapidly
as communication can be established with
them of the cessation of the hostilities be-
tween Spain and the United States, and are
being notified to preserve the peace. That
this is true is proven by the publication in
La Lucha of August %, of Havana, which
announces that the Cuban general, Ali
jandro Rodriguez, entered the towns of
Peloto and Puerto Golpe, in Pinar del Rio.

was taken by his troops
Mr.. Quesada was very much gratified at
having read today an interview with Cen

Cubans did excellent service as scouts and
In the extreme vanguard at Santiago.
when the true story of our Cuban SOL
diers is told by men who are in a position
to know" said Senior Quesada, 'it will be
seen that the widespread misrepresenta-
tions about them are false and that the
Cubans obey with the same zeal with which
they have fought for freedom"

her innocence. When questioned by Chiel

She denied all knowledge of the box OF
candy, its wrapper or contents, stating
positively that the only candy she mad
purchased during eighteen months was a
small box OF lemon drops.
Frank Gattrell. a clerk in a candy store
in Stockton, tells of woman who came to
his place of employ ment about three weeks

Stockton, and purchasing a box OF candy
similar to the one sent to Mrs. Dunning.
The woman said that she desired to put
some OF the candy she had with her in the

from the store. According to the clerk. his
Customers candy was either old or home

stamps aggregated, in number, -, T75, 527
Counting - days to the month, the total

of rest and recuperation. Adjt. Gen. Cor

District troops would be mustered out
soon after their arrival in this country. As
in the case of all other volunteer organiza-
tions. they will be ordered to their home
city for disbandrnent.

Point about two weeks. but not longer,
during which time, he addsd they would

warm welcome which awaits them il this

will be ordered to this city and regularly
mustered out, a process which will require
about two weeks time. The mus tering out
will be mcst thorough process.
1t will require the preparation of complete

property in their possession and a strict
countability for everything that is missing
and a physical examination of officers and
