Monday June 20.-5 p. M
A correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press has been afford
ed an opportunity OF inter
viewing General CaliXto Gar.
Gin, who. with his staff was
brought to Admiral Samp-
sons flagship this morning
on the sunboat Vixen.
The white haired General
was lying in the cabin OF
Captain Chadwick, the com.
mnnder OF the New York. He
was seasick.
This is the message General
Garcia sent to the American
people;
Il am greatly obliged for
the efforts Of the American
people in securing the indie
ppndence of Cuba, and lShall
do all | can to defeat the
Spaniards quickly"
Speaking of the march from
Banes, where he went to re-
ceive the munitions Of the
"FIorida expedition h e
said:
"We had a hard. hard
march over the rough roads.
Engagements with the Span
iards? No, because there
were no Spaniards. My 1000
men are in good condition,
except for the slight fatigue
of the long march. We found
enough food, though t n e
Spaniards are starving. The
patriots are not suffering
from the blockade. They can
always get food. 1t is the
Spaniards who pay the prize.
| think the war will be over
in Il few months. You can
beat the Spaniards easily
but it's very hard to drive
them ont"
Then General Garcia asked
Admiral Sampson, who sat
beside him. what had hap
pened to the other Spanish
ships, the Pelnyo and the
rest, and he opened his eyes
wide, with a muttered eXcln.
nation Of surprise, when be
heard that Admiral Camart

somebody at the Washing

EIGHTH OHIO BOYS,
Colonel Dick Tells of Their Condition.
They Are Expected to Leove
Santiago Today.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18,-Colonel Dick
yesterday received kilograms from some
Ohio places to know the condition of
the Eighth Ohio. He said in part:
II answered these by saying that
probably 800 have been sick. | estimate
that since the regiment was mustered
in on April 20, there have been 30
deaths, and that is low rate.
with regard to the detailing of DIR.
Wuchter to the Thirty-fourth Michigan
that was according to orders. We got
another doctor when disease got hold
OF us. The Michigan men were much
verse off than we were. The American
army has lower death rate than either
the natives of Santiago or the Spanish
army,
1.-The malarial fever leaves the men
so weak that if they are not gotten
away before real yellow fever appears
they will have no strength to resist its
attack. AT times we were short OF
medical supplies, but l do not know
where the blame lies.
1.-The eighth Ohio will start for Mon.
tauk today, as it would be impossible
for me to gst to Santiago before the
regiment starts north.
