GARCIA IN WASHINGTON.
To Raise Money to Pay OF the Cuban
Soldiers.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The members of
the commission delegated to visit the
United States to discuss with officials
of this government the many problems
which confront both Cubans and Ameri-
cans on the island have arrived in
Washington from New York. The COM
mission is headed by General Calixto
Garcia, the veteran soldier and leader.
The commissioners were met at the sta
ton by Senior Gonzales de Quesada and
Senior CasOva.
The. party went direct to the Raleigh
hotel.
It is the present expectation of Gener-
al Garcia and the other commissioners
to remain in Washington about ten
days. General Garcia will call upon
Secretary of War Alger, but beyond
that call no arrangements have been
made for the movements of the COM
mission.
In a, general sense it is the purpose Of
the commission to discuss with the off,
Gals of the administration all questions
relating to the future of the island and
its people. One of the principal oues-
lions. will be that relating to the dis.
position of the Cuban army In the
course of an interview, General Garcia.
said it would be a hardship for the Gu
ban army to diSband at this time with
out receiving pay for it's services in the
field.
General Garcia expresses hope Of OBJ
tanning, through the assistance of this
country, sufficient amount partly to
reimburse the Cubans for their services
in the field. The sum may be advanced
on the security of the Cuban revenues
or obtained in any other way that might
be satisfactory to this country. Gen
eral Garcia says that the Cuban gov
eminent stands pledged to pay it's SOL
diers and will in good faith live up to
any agreement that may be made for
the adjustment of the temporary diff
Guilty
Concerning the proposition which has
been made to annex the island to the
United States, General Garcia said:
I do not think that is a question that
can be discussed or settled at present,
because the congress of the United
states has earnestly declared by a most
solemn enactment that the people of
Cuba ought to be free and independent.
1 have such faith in the honor and in
tegrity of the United States that I am
satisfied that the declaration of con-
gress will be carried out. Other things
are matters of time and detail"
General Garcia says the Cubans are
acting in the utmost good faith and they
believe the United States government
is acting and will continue to act in the
same way. He has no objection to the
sending of American troops to the is
land to afford the population protection
pending the establishment of the new
government and the creation, under
that government of a proper army and
police force, but he suggests that when
American soldiers are sent to the island
they be placed under smart restraint
in order to prevent the recurrence of
making this comment General Garcia.
disclaimed any reflection upon the
American army for which he expresses
the highest respect.

Against Western Union
Asking That Corporation to

Santa Fe Lets Large Contract
For Western Ice.

New York Dec. THE suit of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway
company in the United States district
court to compel the Western Union Teis-
graph company to affix and pay for the
revenue stamps required by the war reve-
nue. law on Geographic messages trans
mitted under its contract with the rail-
way company has been dismissed at the
railway company's cost.
The contention of the railway company
was that the service which the telegraph
company agrees to give the railway COM
pany is to be free of all charges. The teIe-
graph cOmpany's answer was that It
could have no responsibility for the
taxes laid by the United States govern
ment on Geographic messages, and espec-
Cially in view of the repeated rulings OF
the commissioners of internal revenue that
the law requires that the maker. signer
or isSuer' of Geographic messages must
affiX or pay for the stamps.

IMMENSE BUSINESS DEAL.
Philadelphia Furnace Property at Flor
 ence Sold for $lO0,o0o.

Florence, November 17-(Speeial.)-An- other immense business deal was made pub lie in this city yesterday. It Is the an- nouncement of the sale of the Philadelphia furnace property to Eugene Zimmerman or Cincinnati and B. F. Nichols. formerly gen. eral manager of the pipe works of Besse- mer, Ala. The price paid for the property is said to be $10o,oo0 and 1t is understood that half of this amount has already been paid in cash and that the balance of the amount is secured by good collateral.
 It is positively known that the sale has been made though the further plans of the new company are not yet given to the public. However, 1t is believed by those who are on the inside of the transaction that the furnace will blow in just soon as the necessary repairs can be made on the engines and parts of the machinery. This will necessitate the expenditure Of several thousand dollars of additional money. The new owners of the Philadel- phia furnace have also secured options and mineral rights upon valuable ore lands in this state and in Tennessee
 The property is very valuable one, hav- ing cost considerably more to erect than the purchase price in tine recent deal The furnace has daily capacity of 200 tons, and is nearer to the principal ore fields In Tennessee than either Sheffield or Tuscum- bia. It has not been in operation within three years, but for several years after the boom was a money-making plant There can be no doubt of the success of the in- vestment.
 The Spathite furnace, also located in this city, was recently purchased by J. Craig Mechanism of the Pinkney ore mines in Tennessee, and should both furnaces be blown in, the impetus given to business in this city will be immense.

Berlin, November 17.-An official telegram received here from Valletta, Island of Mall ta, says the emperor and empress of Ger many have sailed for Pola, at the north end of the Adriatic sea, from which the party. will travel overland in the circle for home.
 It is explained that the emperor decided upon this course because the temperature of the Mediterranean has become consid- erably cooler and the danger to the health of the empress by the sudden change from a northern to a southern climate is thus lessened
 Valetta, Island of Malta, November IT, The German imperial yacht Hohenzollern sailed from here this morning. The next port she will call at is not known, but it is believed it will be somewhere in Italy.
 It is now known that when Emperor Will liam passed the Island of Rhodes. where the khedive of Egypt is staying at present, the emperor telegraphed his regrets at be- ing unable to visit Egypt, also thanking the khedive for the preparations made to re- ceive his majesty.

ORDERED TO MOVE.
Gen. Wood Instructs Ewars to Distribute
 His Brigade of Negroes.

Sakiago, November H-General Leonard Wood, military governor of the department of Santiago, has instructed General Ewars who is in command of the brigade of ne- gro regiments at San Luis, where the drunken affray occurred on Monday night, to move five miles out of town. It is prob- able that one of the regiments will be sent to an island near the entrance of Santiago harbor where there are no inhabitants.
 Some of the local papers continue to abuse the Americans, catering to the lower elements and striving to create a feeling hostile to America. The better class of Cubans, of course, regret the affray, but they do not exaggerate the outrage after the fashion of the sensational press.
 The United States transport Port Victor, Captain Brickley, arrived here today en route for Ponce with United States troops on board Captain Brickley reports that while passing San Salvador island he saw a large ship bottom upward, which he al- most ran into.
 Now that the cooler weather has set in, General Wood has issued a general order directing regular drills.
 At Guantanamo General Perez, the may or now seems to be making an earnest ef- fort to disband his former Cuban troops. Yesterday one man refused to lay down his arms and drew his weapon on a Cuban of- ficer, who promptly killed him In sef-de fense. The incident has had a good moral effect, and the others of Perez's former command are now voluntarily reinquishing their arms preparatory to disbandment.

ESTABLISHMENT OF CAMPS.
General Miles Was Responsible for the
 Selection of Swamp at Miami.

Washington, November 17-The adjutant- general of the army has furnished the war Investigating commission a statement showing the authority upon which the camps occupied during the war with Spain were selected. It shows that General Miles located the camps at Ghickamauga, Park, Ga, Fernandina and Miami, Fla, and Camp Alger, Va; that General Lee selected that at Jacksonville, and General Merriam that at Camp Merritt ~and that the other camps except that at Tampa, were located by boards of officers.
 The report says that a permanent camp was never contemplated at Tampa. but that troops were sent there preparatory for authorization on recommendation of General Miles.
