CUBAN SHOT BY A SENTRY.
He Was Stealing Stores at santiago
and Ignored an Order to
Half.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Aug. 15.-The OIL
vette sailed this afternoon for Montauk
Point with between 200 and 800 sick. Miss
Wheeler is a passenger.
This morning a Cuban was shot by
sentry, who caught him stealing commits
sary stores at the dock. Yesterday it was
discovered that enough goods had been
stolen to make three carloads. which had
been taken out surreptitiously to the Gu
bans in the field. The man under suspicion
returned to the wharf last night. evidently
with the intention Of continuing his thefts,
but he was warned OF. Early this morn
ing he was again found there. When the
sentry challenged him he ran, refusing to
obey the order to halt. As he was likely
to escape, the sentry fired and killed him;
The occurrence is regretted by General
Wood and the American officers Senefaliy
but 1t probably will have salutary et-
feet, as raids on the commissary and the
medical and Red Cross stores have been
altogether too frequent to be tolerated any
longer.
The rainy season has now set in. with
torrents daily. The troops, therefore. are
moved none too soon, as the physicians are
all agreed that the condition of the men
would have been greatly aggravated by the
rain dampnesS and consequent miaSma-
Ali rejoice at the prospect OF peace and
an early return home.

Belittles American Achievements and
DenOunces the Peace Terms
as SpOlfatiOn.

MONTREAL, QUEBEC, Aug. 16.-Lieu-
tenant Carranza, formerly naval attache to
the Spanish embassy at Washington, who
sailed on the steamship Scotsman Tor Liv-
erpoOl on Saturday, gave the Associated
Press correspondent an interview on the
way down the river. He said that he had
never disregarded Sir Wilfrid Laurier's in
vitation to leave Canada, for the simple
reason that he had never received 1t. and
in this connection again declared that GER
tain paragraphs in the letter taken from
his room were manufactured in Washing
ton in order to get him expelled from Can
ada.
During his absence from Montreal. he
said that he had been travelling about Can
ada enjoying himself and that he had twice
been in the United States. On the second
trip he said he felt disposed to go to WASH
ington and call on Chief Wilkee, who had
intimated to his friends in Montreal that
ne was willing to pay good price to learn
where he was. Concerning the conditions
of peace he declared that it would be i'm
possible to find in history, except in bar
barous times, harder conditions.
1T is spoliation only to be compared
with the dismemberment of Poland. The
Americans who went into this war with
the protesting cry of humanity upon their

have captured Santiago but for the as

| The Americans had yet to find, he re-
marked, what a good for nothing fellow
the Cuban insurgent was.
When asked his views about the nava
and military operations of the war, Lieu
tenant Carranza said he could only say tina
they had been conducted by mere chance
