afternoon with supplies for the relief of

ter complaint that he had been ignored
and the restoration of the Spanish civil
authorities in the city Of Santiago was
most offensive to him, and that in con
sequence of all this he had been forced
to tender his resignation as Il general
in the Cuban army. he is going on with
his preparations for Il contest with the
Spanish forces of Holguin and Man
