CENSURE FOR GARCIA.
Washington Officials Believe He
Wrote the Letter Refusing to
Aid Americans.

Washington, D. c., July 23.-It is stat
ed positively at the war department that
the letter which Gen. Garcia is reported
to have addressed to Gen. Shafter an
nouncing his withdrawal from further CO.
operation with the American troops has
not reached the war department. The
officials are inclined to believe that if
the letter really exists, and of that they
nave little, doubt, it will reach Washing
Ton only through the mails from Santiago
So far no mail report of any character
mas come from Gen. Shafter since his
landing in Cuba, to the great disappoint-
ment of the officials, who are looking

tam events in the progress of the cam
palgn that were only obscureIy out
Lined by Gen Shafter 1t was hoped that
the st: Paul, which arrived yesterday at
New York, would bring along a lot of
mail, but she did not do so, probably
from fear of yellow fever
The only word that has come from
Shafter over night was the statement
that Gen. Dufield left Santiago for home
yesterday, and that Gen. COrbin's son.
VINO was reported to be better. would
1eaye FOR home as soon as he could he

Two pronounced cases of yellow fever in
the American camp.
no word has reached the department
from an official source relative to the re-
ported attack by Garcias Cubans upon
the body of Spanish soldiers who were
marching into Santiago to surrender to
Gen. Shafter. In the absence of re,ia-
BILE report on this occurrence, which if
true may be fraught with the gravest con-
sequences and affect the attitude of the
sUnted States government toward the Gu
pans there is decided disposition to re-
fuse to discuss the matter at the war
department.

A New Invention-A "Stone Dodger,r
PIow.
From The Farm Implement News.


From The Farm Implement News.
Inc Fuller d Johnson Mfg. Co., Of
Madison, Wisconsin, have brought out
new implement, namely, a riding pillow.
that is attracting much attention where
ever 1t IS seen. heretofore there has been
very serious objection to the riding DlOW
where there is stone In striking = stones
not only has there been danger of break
ing the plOw and harness, but the blow
on the shoulders of the horses was yerv
injurious, and worse than all. the driver
was IN danger Of being thrown off and
injured. These objections are overcome
IN this appropriately named ''stone dodg-
err plOw When it strikes a stone the
pillow part only is raised up and slides over
the stone and pulls itself into the ground
again without any action on the part Of
the driver. The sulky part is not raised
at all. A boy or an old man who can
handle the team can thus readily do the
blowing.
So much interest has been taken in
TINS pillow wherever it has been shown that
the manufacturers have adopted a novel
plan to aid IN presenting its manifest adj
Vantages to the farming community. They
are having large number Of models rlade
and IN any section where there is no sam
pie pillow that can readily be seen, any rep
utable farmer can, by writing to the
company, have model sent to him by ex-
press for inspection, without expense to
him, the company paying the expressage
both ways. The farmer, after examina-
ton, simply returns it to the express office,
Ihe model is a nice piece of work. 1t
weighs only ten pounds. The pillow is
made AS single pillow for three horses
and as double or gang for four horses.
A very effective potato planting attach
ment can be had with these plows at small
extra cost

Breaking in a Hawaiian Servant.

7Fnen the white people first went to live
in Hawaii their native servants, it's said,
persisted in calling them by their Chris

her Mary, and instructed them carefully
in the presence Of her husband. One day,
when she had visitors, her cook put his
head in at the drawing-room door and po-
litely inquired: What vegetables for din
ner today, my love?" He had heard her
called that, and seemed proud of remem-
