THE FIGHT THAT FAILED
Gen. Garcia Relieved Of a Heavy
Shadow.
Alleged Encounter Denied-Has Not Met
SPanlards Since the SeparatiOn-Sur-
rendered DOns Pouring In.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 25.-Evefy
thing here is peaceful. The 1000
Spanish soldiers at Guantanamo laid
down their arms today. The $500 from
Palmo Soriano, San Luis and Tongo
surrendered yesterday to Lieut.. Miley,
and today pack trains with provisions
were sent them. The only others in
Guided in the capitulation are 1000
troops at Baracoa and 900 at Sagua.
They have not yet been turned over,
but they are nowhere in Gen. Garcia S
vicinity. He is at Jiguany today, and
reached there without encountering
any Spaniards.
Gen. Shafter authorizes an absolute
contradiction of the report that Garcia
encountered force of Spaniards who
were returning to Santiago to surren-
der and was defeated by them.
Col. Ezra 2. Ewers of the Ninth in
fantry, acting for Gen. Shafter, will re-
ceive the formal surrender of Guam
tanamO.
Releasing Cubans.
Yesterday Gen. Shafter released forty
Cubans who had been confined in the
local Jail on political charges. Indeed,
some of them were confined without
charges of any character, others on the
most trivial pretexts, and yet others
solely because of sympathy with the
insurgent cause. The Jail is still filed
with many whose crimes and sentences
are not on record and are absolutely
unknown as far as has vet been aScer-
tanned. A general investigation has
been ordered Immediately.
American newspapers which have ar
rived here contain articles written, ap-
parently, under a misapprension of the
facts regarding the conduct of the cam
paign and the dictation of the
terms of surrender. Gen. Miles
was here simply as visitor and ad-
wiser. In his official capacity he had
nothing to do with the terms of the
capitulation, the entire credit for which
belongs to Gen. Shafter, who, on July
10, received the following dispatch
from Washington of that date:
Gen. Shafter, Siboney-The secretary of
war directs me to inform you that Gen.
Miles left here at 1O:4O last night for San
tiago, but with instructions which do not
in any manner supersede you as the COM
mander of the United States troops in the
field near Santiago solong as you are able
for duty. CoRBIN. Adjutant-General.

PARIS, July 25.-A special dispatch
from Madrid gives the follow ing ac-
counts of the queen regents daily life
during the present crisis:
Poor queen. This is the exclama-
tion so often heard of late, day after
day, as matters grow worse and worse,
rs the Spanish disasters repeat them
selves and as the throne of the little
king seems slipping from her hands,
into which it was given in trust. 1 see
Her Majesty Looking CsrewOrn and Anx-
iOus.
Even her drives are becoming fewer
and fewer. 1t would surely appeal to
any mother in the world were she to
see the way this queen mother each
day seems to cling closer and closer to
her boy, as though to shield him from
the dangers closing about him with
almost fatal force. 1t was very touch
ing to witness it. Her worst enemies
recognize in the queen personal quail
tiles.
Worthy OF the Highest Admiration.
The queen used every means at her
disposal to prevent war. Her great
hope lay in Senor Moret (Senor Moret
Y Prendergast, the former minister of
colOnies), and he would have carried
his point but for Senor Gullon, the
former minister for foreign affairs. To
day, and ever since the war began, the
great occupation of the queen is to fnd
the quickest way for it's termination.
At many of the councils of late held at
the palace
The Queen Has Burst Into Tears,
begging and urging her ministers to
seek n solution for the terms of peace,
which they seem incapable of material
izing. Peace-which the queen, with
common sense, sees to be of such vital
Importance and which her ministers
keep pOstponing. with the word so
fatal to Spain-Manana (to-morrowl
Won over to Her Views.
The queen has taken every chance
offered in the council of putting in a
word for peace, and little by little she
has finally managed to bring the cabi-
net to her view and to thoughts of
peace.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS.
weekly Crop Bulletin.

In Tennessee during the past week
abnormally cold weather prevailed,
which had tendency to check the
growth of corn and cotton-espccially
The latter; but this was followed by
warm, showery weather, with good
rains from the 18th to the 18th, which
not only restored conditions, but gave
an impetus to the growth of vegetation
which promises good results as to the
development of these crops in the pre-
liminary stages of maturity. Corn, eX-
cept il few localities where the rain
fall has been light and insufficient, is
in fine state of growth; the crop has
been we'll worked and is clean and in
fine condition for the coming period of
ripening Cotton suffered from the
cool weather and is not fruiting well,
as rule; crops are generally clean.
Excessive rains in the northern part OF
the State-especially in the tobacco re-
gions-have damaged the prospects of
that crop to some extent. The week
generally was unfavorable for thresh-
ing wheat, and this work was greatly
hindered, resulting in possible damage
to that portion of the crop yet in the
shock; the yields, thus far, are gen.
orally satisfactory. Oats are turning
out rather light, especially in the east
ern section. The second crop of Irish
potatoes is beginning to grow off well,
also late millet and peas, of which there
is large acreage planted. The week
was unfavorable for haying. Sweet
potatoes and garden vegetables are in
fine condition. Breaking land for fall
seedlings is in progress. Grasshoppers
are reported damaging clover, corn and
cotton in Henry county, and chinch
bugs are numerous in portions of Will
son county. Pastures have improved
and stock is in good condition generally.

SENATOR THURsToN's VIEWS.
Republican Victory an Endorsement of
the Administration.

CHICAGO, Noy. 10.-A special to the
Tiines-Herald from Lincoln, Neb., says
On the result of the election United
States Senator Thurston says:
'The sweeping Republican victory in
the West, including Nebraska, means
the unconditional Endorsement of Presi-
dent McKinley's administration, the
conduct of the war and his foreign policy.
The battle was fought on the straight
goldstandard platform, and the result,
in my judgment, absolutely eliminates
free silver as national issue in 1900.
"The entire tendency of independent
voters is to return to old party allegiance,
with permanent gains to the Republi-
can party from the best elements of
Democracy and Populism. This is large
ly due to the prosperous conditions of
agriculture and business generally. The
people are satisfied with present condi-
tious.
''In Nebraska the Fusionists early in
the campaign practically abandoned the
free-silver issue, and for time attempt.
ed to maintain themselves by criticisms
of the conduct of the war. Driven from
this, they fell back on the McCleary bill
''The Republican campaign was very
active and aggressive, and successfully
met the three issues in detail. Above
everything else, however, was the pa
triotic determination to stand by an ad-
ministration whose victories in war anc
whose far-reaching and successful for
eign policy have won the admiration o.
ChristendDm."
