Cubnns APPLAUD Garcia.

Santiago de Cuba, July "A, via
Kingston, July 25.-lhe CuDans here re-
sent General Skaters attitude in ignor-
ing General Garcia and in refusing to
allow the Cuban troops to enter Santiago
or to consult General Garcia ON terms Oh
the surrender Of Santiago. General Car
cias action in withdrawing his troops IN
the Interior his letter to General Shatter
and the resignation of his command for
warded to General Gomez are approved
and applaudcd by all classes of natives.
General Garcia refused to accept SUI
coordinate place, insisting that he was an
ally. General Shafter answered saying
that this was a war between the United
States and Spain, irrespective of Cuba
individual interests, and Pre,iN'nt Nc
kinley's instructions with reference 10 the
admission of the surrendered district,
published here yesterday ave interpreted
as a tacit ayowal of the American iuten-
ton to annex the island and not grant
independence.
This is opposed by the Cubans. Senior
1aa4uin Castillo. nresident of the SAN
Carlos Cuban Club and brother of Ge1r
eral Castillo, urges an official protest 20
President Mckinley without delay, say
ing: "SiIence now would indicate our
consent to the American attitude, which
is plain breach of faith that Cubans can
not possibly tolerate
A meeting was held this afternoon at
the san Carlos Club to discuss the mat
ter and it j. probable that protest viii
be drawn up which will be submitted.
1t is understood that many who were
present at the meeting favored the
scheme of protectoratc by the United
States with eventual annexation after
five or six years, but the protest IS on II
matter of principle, the main objection
being the continuation in Office of Spanish
officials appointed by Madrid on the
ground that Spaniards as a conquered ma
ton should not be vested with authority
over Cubans, the allies and coadjutors of
the United States and the representatives
of a free and independent people. Such
is understood to have been Jhe tenor OF
the meeting.
