married an American, is now living in
Paris. General Garcias mother is still
alive and resides in Havana.
Gen. Garcia, whose name will be
ever linked with those of other patriots
who have fought against unequal odds
for the freedom of his country, was
man of culture and refinement, of
splendid education aad came from a
distinguished family of Jaequani, of
Santiago de Cuba province. lie was
born in Cogquin, October l3, 1899, and
was therefore in his Goth year of his
age. Gen. Garcia was educated in IIa.
vana and in Spain. In 1864 he was
married TO Isabel Velez.
Gen. Garcia wa7 the original con-
spirator in the uprising of the Cubans
against Spain in l56s. and in that war,
under Gomez, he attained the rank of
! igadicrGeneral.
For his participation in the revolu-
tionary movement Gen. Garcia was
sent to Spain, where for four years he
was confined in castles and fortresses,
remaining there until tho peace of Zan
Jon. He then returned to the United
States, and, together with Jose Marti
attempted another revolution. He
landed in Cuba with few followers,
but the country was tired of war and
wanted TO try the home rule offered by
Spain. He capituated to the Spanish
forces in order to save his few remain
ing followers and was again banished
to Spain in 1850, where he remained
under surveillance until 1896, when tn,

Cuban deputy; Cuban General Vidal
Cuban Colonel Rivas; Francisco Lucas

two children. Garcia, who was

badly hurt
One version of the affray is that the
military hospital employees and a
number of Spanish privates who were
standing in the hospital portico refused
to remove their hats when requested to
do SO by the persons in the procession.
Thereupon the Cubans, it is alleged,
tried to knock off the hats and figh t

Washington, Dec. 14.-Majo ajor-Gen-
Brooke arrived in Washington from
Fortress Monroe yesterday, and was
closeted more than an hour with Secre
tary Alger. He then, in company with
Adjutant-General Corbin, proceeded to
the White House, and when he return

had designated him TO be military gov
ernor of the island of Cuba, new post
which carried with it control over the
military and civil branches of the
island formerly exercised by the cap
tain-gencral under the Spanish regime.
Each of the six provinces will have
its own military governor, just as Cen
eral Wood is now military governor of
the province of Santiago, but all of
these will receive their instructions di-
rectly from Maior-General Brooke, who
is in supreme authority of the island.
Thus, in Havana, General Ludlow
will be governor of the city, but an

of the province of Havana, who, in
turn, will be answerable to Major-Gen-
