Notwithstanding General Garca's Bit
ter complaint that he had been ignored
and the restoration of the Spanish civil
authorities in the city of Santiago was
most offensive to him, and that in con
sequence of all this he had been forced
to tender his resignation as general
in the Cuban army, he is going on with
his preparations for Il contest with the
Spanish forces of HOlgun and Man
zanillo quite as though nothing had hap
pencd.
Tomorrow General Garcia will issue
decree authorizing all Cubans who
have been driven from their plantations
and country homes by the Spaniards,
and who have taken refuge for safety
IN the cities and town, TO return to the
country and go to work on their farms
and plantations, assuring them of pro-
lection by his force. He has added like
permission 20 those in his ranks who
were recruited from the farm lands or
were employed in the fields at the out
break of the war.
Altogether it must be confessed thai
General Garcia's attitude is inexplica,

ranks to so back to work on the farms
is construed to mean an effort TO dis
band his forces. But this may not be
altogether justified. Ii is certain Il
