General Garcia Coming Here.

Washington, Sept. 22.-It is expected
by members of the Cuban delegation
here that General CaliXto Garcia, sec
ond in command of the Cuban forces
during the war, will come to this coun-
try in the course of the next two
weeks, visiting New York, Baltimore
and Washington. His presence in this
country Is likely to raise question
regarding the old criminal proceedings
pending against him. During the height
of the Cuban ilibustcring Garcia was
arrested and brought before the fed
cral court at Baltimore on charge
of directing one OF the landing eXpedi-
tons He was released on bonds, and
then left at the head of the expedition
he had organized, forfeitirg his bonds.

PLAIN TALK OF OFFICERS.
The Official invests gat ors Hear Direct
Charges of Inef1iciency.

Lexington, Ky, Sept. IA prnmi-
nent gentleman close to the national
administration, as well as to he rim-
GERS here at Camp Hamilton, rays the
persent tour of inspection of the sou IL
ern camps by Secretary Alger, Quar-
termaster Ludington and Surgeon Cen
eral Sternberg will likely develop nu-
merous charges from regImental and
general field officers against both the
medical and quartcrmaster's depart
ments, and especially against some COM
missaries. The talking was begun here
by General Sanger against the medi-
cal department and by General Waite
against the C.uartermaSter's and 1t Is
expected that officers at other points
will add very materially - this tcsli-
mony before the tour of inspc. tion II
completed. Secretary Alger stated
that all of this information and all
other eviden,e that ha rcI.i SECURE
would be pres, nted to The Investigating
committee a, Washington.

may be good thing. as 1t was con-
Quoted it hal been disgrace to the
service; that it had deprived the regi-
ments of their surgeons and cansed
hardships on the sick who should have
had better attention at the proper
time. Surgeon General Sternberg. in
repy, insisted that al acquisitions had
been honored in Washington ana that
any medical men failing to do their
duty should be reported.
General Waites told Secretary Aiger
that the neglect of some quartermasters
to furnish supplies was criminal. While
In Chickamauga he frequently made re-
uuisitions which were not honored. An
imperative order had been sent to have
all water boiled. He made a requisi-
ton OH Quartern.aster General Lee for
water boilers. No attention was paid
to his requsition, and after he re-
peatedy urged Quartermaster General
Lee to send the boilers, and telling him
how the men were contracting typhoid
fever, he was met with a reply which
read: "The war department does not
furnish boilers"
General Waites then purchased the
boilers himself, but the seeds of typhoid
had been sown, and the daily report
showed the list Of deaths and of cases
in the hospitals. Pointing at General
Ludngton General Waites said: "These
men cannot say 1t was somebody
else's fault. 1t was the fault of Quar-
termaster Lee, and it was the fault Of
Quartermaster General Ludington, who
Ia standing right there"
Ludington made no reply.

Not that l know Of" he answered.
But the relations existing between the
two countries are comfortable and
satisfactory. There Is no alliance, and
l don't think anything of the kind is
anticipated. The attitude of England
during the war was absolutely correct
and strictly neutral Still, at the same
time England showed a great deal of
friendship for the United States. The
feeling of the people of England was
strongly in favor of this country"
Regarding the work of the navy he
said:
"Our naval victories surprised every
body abroad. They expected Spain to
put up better fight and not to be
beaten so easily on the sea. 1t has
been said that Cramps has an order

him.
Really I cannot discuss that matter
now," he replied.
DO you expect to meet Governor
Holcomb, of Nebraska, here?"
, II do; yes" he replied.
do you know whether he has ar
rived YETI"
This question was answered at the
Metropolitan hotel to which Colonel
Bryan went directly. There he found
awaiting him telegram from Gov
ernor Holcomb informing him that he
would be here today.
Colonel Bryan was asked whether 1t
was the intention of himself and the
governor to make an effort to have the
Third Nebraska mustered out of the
service, but he declined to say what his
mission here was. He intimated that
he might have something to say be-
fore he returned to Jacksonville.
In the corridors of the Metropolitan
hotel Colonel Bryan was recognized by
several acquaintances and given a cor
dial greeting. He registered simply as
"W. J. Bryan, Lincoln, Neb."
1t is known that an effort will be
made to induce the war department to
muster out the Third Nebraska, and
the appeal may be made directly to the
president. I'm the event of failure II is
thought to be likely that Colonel Bryan
may resign his commission as colonel.

San Francisco, CAL, Sept 2l.-Mr
| Cordelia Botkin is likely after all to b
taken back to Delaware for trial for the
murder of Mrs. J. p. Dunning and Mrs

covered by George w. Mou!eith. an attor

Mr.. Monteith suggests procedure

but procedure under the old commission
law (Which is recognized by the Supreme
Court of the United States,) by which a
person accused of crime residing in ono
jurisdiction and trlable in another can be
removed to tho proper jurisdiction in order
that he may be prosecuted
The State Of Delaware, Mr.. Monteith
says, has the right to try Mrs Botkin in
that State, and II she be found guilty to
impose upon her the penalty (which the
laws of that State provide. Not being n

extraditable within the strict letter CT the

which says.that' judicialllaw shall extend

States and between State and citizsns of
another State, and that in all such cases
the Supreme Court shall have original

II Is clear, in Mr. Monteith's opinion,
that jurisdiction to determine this contro-
versy lies exclusively in tho Federal Su-
preme Court and the remedy is a writ of
