teinforcements and cutting off the re-
treat Of the Spanish soldery. When
the city fell his duty there was at an
end. But It appears the attack on Man
Hanillo was then planned. and 1t is
probable that Shafter detailed Garcia's
command to cut off reinforcements
there. Holguin lies near this city and
WIS garrisoned by considerable force,
as the American general must have
known. 1t is not unlikely that Garcia
and his men came into conflict with q
body of Spanish soldiery bound from
Hoiguin, and that there Garcia met his
death"
Calixto Garcia was in his Goth year
and was regarded by the Cuban In
surgents as one of their most intrepid
soldiers. In the ten years war his skill.

tinued promotion until he received
generals star. In an action In 1874
Garcia was surrounded by Spanish
troops. Rather than surrender he shot
him self through the chin with suicidal
intent He recovered, and was sent to
Spain. He was released In 1877, when
the peace of Henjon was declared.
Garcia at once set out for New York
and organized an expedition to Cuba.
He landed in Santiago de Cuba, but
was taken a prisoner a second time. He
eluded the vigilance Of the prison
guards In Spain one night after 10
years Imprisonment, and fed to Eng
land.
Garcia was the promoter Of the IIaw-
kins expedition, which left this city in
January, 1896, with 800 men and a large
quantity of supplies and ammunition.
The vessel sunk. He next fitted out the
Bermuda, which was seized upon the
eve of her departure, in February. 1925,
by a United States marshal and his
deputies. Garcia was arrested and re-
leased in So 500 bali. He at once made
another start and landed in Cuba sew

CUBAN JUNTA EXPLAINS.
Their Soldiers in Cuba Will Not Oppose
Skaters Orders When the Situa-
tion Is Made Clear,

Washington, July 21.-Senor Quesada
and other represent atives of the Cuban
Junta were In consultation with officials
of the war department yesterday. The
United States officials were assured
that there was no dissatisfaction with
the management of affairs In Cuba, so
far as the Cubans' representatives were
concerned, and that if the Cubans op-
Grating about Santiago were not in har-
mOny with the United States authorl-
ties there 1t arose from a misunder-
standing Of the presidents proclama-
ton and Of the intention ef the United
States government in the premiaes. It
was the belief of the Cuban representa-.
tives that when the matter was made
plain to the Cuban officers In the field
they would acGuiesce in the action OF
the United States and render the Unit.
ed States army hearty support.
The Cubans assured the war officials
that nothing was further from their de-
sires than rupture with the United
States forces and authority. 1t also
became known that the junta had sent
dispatches to General Garcia and other
Cuban officers that their course at Sam
tiago was not approved by the junta,
and If persisted in would result in se-
rious injury to the Cubans. 1t is be-
lieved that the representations will
bring a better understanding between
the Cuban officers and the Americans.
The opinion was expressed at the war
department that the better class Of
Cubans In the island have no sympathy
with those who would bring about
trouble, but that 1t Is the lower and
vicious classes, who desire 10 loot and
plunder the city.
Filipinos Abusing Spanish Prisoners.
Madrid, July 2l.-Advices received
