GEN. CALIxTO GARCIA DEAD.
His Last Thoughts Were with the Country
He Fought for So Long.

He Fought for So Long.
Washington, Dec 12-General Calixto
Garcia, the distinguished Cuban war
rior and leader, and the head of the
commission elected by the Cuban as
sembly to visit his country, died here
yesterday morning shortly after 10
o'clock at the Hotel Raleigh. The sud
den change from the warm climate of
Cuba to the wintry weather of New
York and Washington is responsible for
the pneumonia which resulted in his
demise. He contracted a slight cold in
New York, which did not assume an
alarming stage until the early part Of
last week.
During the twelve hours or more pre-
ceding dissolution General Garcia was
unconscious most of the time. At in
tervals he recognized one or more of
those about him. In his dying moments
as all through his busy and active life
his thoughts were for his beloved coun-
try and it's people. and among his last
words were irrational mutt.rlngs in
which he gave orders to his son, who is
on his staff, for the battle which he
supposed was to occur today. He was
60 years old and native of Cuba.
Among the letters of coincidence re
ceived is one from President Mckinley
and another from Secretary Hay.
