plain to the Cuban Government.

Havana, July 31.-Advices from San
| tiago de Cuba report that the insurgent
general, Calixto Garcia, having be-
come Disguised with the Americans,
has left for Puerto Principe, to present
complaint to the so-called Cuban gov
eminent"
General Garcia, is is SAID, is willing
! to dismiss his separatiStS. The civil ele-
ments have met to protest to orders
given by the commander of the Amer
| lean troops. Senior Castillo will take the
protest to Washington.
La Lucia, commenting on the above
statement, says: we do not know
what effect the protest will produce on
President Mckinley and his cabinet,
but we hope it Will not prejudice the
general who gave the orders. because 1t
cannot be supposed that President Nc
Kinley will try to weaken the moral
strength of the army chief at the be-
ginning of the campaign, nor. even in
directly, the military authority needfuI
to all chiefs to whom are entrusted
the wars direction, and who, on the
ground, can better than any one else
appreciate the necessary disposition
and measures to be dictated"
La Lucha adds: IF Senior Castillo
is obliged to return, after delivering
the protest in Washington. without OBJ
ldilIIIS WIFI he was expected 10 gam
by those who protested, as it is believed
will happen on account of the argu-
mentS advanced and the inOpportune-
ness of the protest of Senior Castillo
and others, the situation will be little
thought of by the chief of the invading
army. and will demonstrate the impa-
thence of the Cuban insurgents. who
are not satisfied with the plans of d
government which is accustomed to
proceed with mathematical calculation,
the same privately as in5 public life
La Lucha further says "One must
be crazy to believe that a regular army.
sent by one country to another to aid
a revolution against a government
leg1tlmately constituted, is TO be mere
auxiliary force of 5000 or 10000 armed
citizens who are not recognized by the
country who sends its aid. even as SIM
pie, regular war elements. which has
been denied as many times as it has
asked to be recognized as a belligerent.
The United States has always declared
that the Cuban rebels had a. right to
ask their independence, but it is of no
use to think that powerful and strong
country which decides to dispute with
the sea and land forces the sovereignty
and possession of territory of another
country, to which the territory by
proper rights belongs, has come to Cuba
to subordinate the United States army
and general to the chief of irregular
forces without military organization.
