WEDNESDAY EVENING. AUG. "a, 1885
nuRANS, SHADY METHODS.


Since the surrender of the Spanish
troops the Americans have learned
much concerning the methods of the
Cubans. a Spanish general under
Linares said: "We could have whipped
all the revolutionists on the island in
two months if we could have found
them"
Within week from the time the
United States forces landed Cuban We
racity was at discount. The Cuban
leaders lied about eyerything-the
number of available men they had, to
begin with. Garcia promised iosupply
5000 properly armed aud equipped,
hut when he paraded his army before
General Shafter there were less than
1900. They were all armed with Cor
necticut made machetes-whose ntiii-
ty as war weapon was not subse-
ouently proved-snd with Springfield
and Krag- Jorgensen rifles furnished by
the United States.
AS far as can be determined, NOT
single Spanish soldier was killed in
open warfare by a Cuban. Gar
cha and his men were permitted
the widest latitude in operating
against the Spaniards. To Garcia
was entrusted the duty of heading of
General Pando and 5000 Spanish
troops from reaching Santiago from
Holguin. Pando's route was known,
and there was nc apparent rea-
son why Garcia did not engage him,
or, at least, hold him back until Ameri
can re-enforcements arrived. Pando,
who reached santiago after the surrer-
der, says he did not see a single Gu
ban soldier from the time he left Hol-
gum until he reached Santiago,
The only active work in which Gu
bans participated was at Ell Caney.
where the American troops made q
brave assault upon the Spanish fortifi-
cations and captured them. The work
OF the CubaDs here was of q most bois
ferrous character. They principally
distinguished themselves according to
American officers, by killing Spaniards
who had been wounded and in cutting
their way to the rear from the fighting
line"
One reason why General Shafter did
not invite Garcia and his staff 10 be
present at the formal capitulation Of
the Spanish troops was that General
Linares, the Spanish commander, ask
ed to be spared the humiliation of be
ing paraded before the Cubans, who 10
no way shared the gloly of the victory
of the American forces.
