Cuban Authorities Object to Disregard
Of Orders

Of Orders
NEW YORK, Aug. H.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Santiago says:
General Garcia has been relieved Of his
command by General Gomez, acting under
instructions from the provisional govern
ment Of Cuba.
This Is owing to the disapproval Of his
action during the Shafter incident, and in
view Of the fact that Garcia is persona
non grata to the American government. At
the commencement Of the war the Cuban
officers were ordered to put themselves
under orders Of the American commands
and the letter from Garcia to Shafter Is
looked upon as breach Of discipline.
His resignation Is not accepted, but he
Is relieved of his command.
General Rodriguez, commanding In the
East under Gomez, will succeed him.
A courier arriving from General Cas-
tNlo reports that the Governor Of Puerto
Principe offered to march out, giving up the
town to the Cubans, If supplied with 1000
head Of cattle. 400 carts and 500 oxen for
transporting to Havana.
The Cubans received this news the after
noon after the notification Of peace.

The engine rolled down the bank and landed
on its side.
On the engine were Engineer George e.
Hanford and Fireman Fred p. Smith, both
residents of Sacramento.
The body of Fireman Smith was found
near the overturned engine. his life crushed
out. 1t is supposed that when he felt the
engine leaving the track he jumped and was
pinned under some portion Of the engine
as ii rolled over.
Smith was married in this city last jan
uary and he and his wife resided at S0S e
street.
Engineer Hanford was quite seriously
injured, sustaining severe bruises and lac
erations but the extent Of his injuries can
not be determined at this time.
As soon as news Of the accident reached
that place a wrecking train, on board Of
which were a number of physicians. was
sent to the scene from Dunsmu!r.
Engineer Hanford is a son Of a veteran
| railroad engineer, who was killed a few
years ago In a wreck near Placerville. It Is
expected that the track will be cleared and
repaired in time so that no passenger trains
will be delayed.

TO CONVICT THE SLAYER OF THE
CUMMINGS
The Fatal Box Of Candy Said to Be
Directed in Mrs. Botkin's
Handwriting

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 31.-Chief Of Po-
lice Lees has made what he considers an
important discovery In the Botkin case.
He has secured COPY Of an anonymous let
ter sent from this city to Mrs. Dunntng.
telling that lady OF the alleged misdeeds
of her husband. With Writing Expert
Kytka. Chief Lees has carefully compassd
the handwriting with the scrawl on the
wrapping paper which enclosed the fatal
box of candy. Both declare emphatically
that the letter and the address on the box
of candy were written by the same person,
and they are reasonably certain that the
anonymous letter was written by Mrs. Bot
kin.
Detective McVey, who came here from
Delaware to procure the extradition Of
Mrs. Cordelia Botl1in for the murder of
Mrs. John P. Dunning and her sister, made
a statement today to the local newspapers
to the effect that John P. Dunning, hus-
band Of one Of the victims, had positively
identified the handwriting on the wrap
per as that Of Mrs. Botkin. He also said
that Mr.. Dunning had identified the anony-
nous letters sent to Mrs. Dunning as being
written by Mrs Botkin.

Some Of the Witnesses
STOCKTON, Aug. Sit is quite evident
that Chief Of Police Lees Of San Francisco
believes that Frank Gattrell and Raymond
Miller, statesmen in the Wave candy store
of Stockton, can give some very important
evidence In the case of Mrs. Botk!n, &C.
cused Of causing the death of Mrs. Dun
ming and Mrs. Dean by sending them pois-
oned candy. This morning Chief Of Police
Gall of this city received dispatch from
Chief Lees directing him to send both Cat
trell and Miller to San Francisco today
with instructions to meet Chief Lees at
O'Clock tomorrow afternoon at his office
for an inspection Of the fatal candy and
the box containing the same. Gattrell and
Miller will leave for San Francisco on the
$40 train this afternoon.
1t will be remembered that the two candy
clerks declare that at the time Mrs. Bot
kin was in Stockton they recollect having
sold a box Of bon-bons to woman who
brought some homemade candy to the
store, which she put in with the factory
made candy purchased at the Wave.
Neither could describe the woman, but
both are confident that they can, on see
l ing the fatal box and candy which caused
the death of two women in Dover Del.
