establish in Cuba a free and independ-
ent government. But when the ques-
ton arises of appointing authorities in
Santiago de Cuba under the peculiar
circumstances of our thirty years strife
against Spanish rule, cannot see but
with the deepest regret that such au-
thorities are not elected by the Cuban
people, but are the same ones selected
by the Queen of Spain, and, hence, are
ministers to defend against the Cubans
the Spanish sovereignty.
A rumor too absurd to believe, Gen
eral. ascribes the reason of your meas
ures and Of your order forbidding my
army TO go into Santiago for fear OF
massacre and revenge against the
Spaniards. Allow me. sir, to protest
against the shadow of such an idea. We
are not savages, ignoring the rules Of
civilized war. We are a poor, ragged
army, as ragged and as poor as was the
army of your forefathers in their noble
war for independence, but as did the
heroes Of Saratoga and Yorktown, we
respect too deeply our cause to disgrace
it with barbarism and cOWardice.
In view of all these reasons / sincere
ly regret to be unable to fulfill any
longer the orders Of my government,
and, therefore, have to-day rendered
to the Commander-in-C Chief Of the Gu
ban army, Major General Maxine Go
mez, my resignation as commander of
this section Of his army.
Awaiting his resolution, I withdraw
my forces to the interior. Very re-
spectfully, CALIXTO GARCIA.

races will be a mile and a half with a
turn, excepting the four and eight
cared events. which will be mile and
a half straight away.
The greatest interest in the regatta
is centered in the eight-oared shell race,
which will be pulled off tomorrow af-
ternoon. For the first time in the his
tory Of the national regatta, the Argo-
nauts of Canada have entered an eight.
The Worcester, Mass, High School

MILITARY
GOVERNOR.
CONTINUED from First Page.)

The occupation of the city of San
tago by the military forces of the
Americans is lacking in strategic i'm
portance, owing to the fact that the
city had previously been closely block
AIDED for long time by the American
ships and will have little or no ef-
feet on the development Of the span
ish campaign, which is to decide Spain
fate. The Spanish army is intact ana
eager for glory. 1t is willing to meas
ure arms with the Americans, and IN
this army the King of Spain, the span
1sh Government and the whole country
places the trust of defense at any cost
Of the integrity of Spanish territory and
the honor of Spains immaculate flag.
This army is sure to be triumphant
and, victorious. At the last, in spite
of so many dangers and impediments,
1t will show once more the indonita-
BILE spirit and well-knoWn military tai
ents of our people is the hope and

GARCIA WRITES TO SKATER.
Complains That He Was Not Invit-

NEW YORK, July 22.-A dispatch

being a letter sent by General Garcia
to General Shafter:
Sir On May 18th, the Government of
the Republic of Cuba ordered me as
commander of the Cuban army in the
east of cooperate with the American
army, following the plans and obeying
the orders of its commander. I have
done my best, sir, to fulfill the wish Of
my Government, and I have been until
now one Of your most faithful subordi-
mates. honoring myself in carrying out
your orders as far as my powers have
allowed me to do it.
The city Of Santiago surrendered to
the American army and news of that
important event was given to me by
persons entirely foreign to your staff.
/ have not been honored with a single
word from yourself informing me about
the negotiations for peace or the terms
Of capitulatiOn by the Spaniards The
complete ceremony Of the surrender of
the Spanish army and the taking pos
session Of the city by yourself took
place later and / only knew of both
events by public report. I was neither
honored, sir, with a kind word from
you inviting myself or any officer Of
my staff to represent the Cuban army
on that memorable occasion.
Finally | know that you have left in
power at Santiago the same Spanish
authorities that for three years / have
fought as the enemies of the independ-
ence Of Cuba. | beg to say that these
authorities have never been elected at
Santiago by the residents Of the city
but We're appointed by royal DEGREES of
the Queen Of Spain.

Second Moon" and It's Discoverer,

The year 1888 seems likely to prove a
memorable one in the annals of as
tronomy. Not only has it already wit
messed one of the most successful total
solar eclipses known, but Hamburg
astronomer has announced the discov-
cry of a second moon of the earth
AS ! have received from this gentle
man, DR.. George Waltemath, a very in
teresting letter giving some new infor-
nation on the subject, it may be of
interest to reproduce some of it here.
THE second moon of the earth," says
DR.. Waltemath, has been actually OBJ
served passing the sun on the 10th
of February, 1897, at Munich by G.
Waller, art painter and a friend, and
also on the 4th Of February, 1898, at
Greioswald by Post Director Fregler
and eleven other persons. Besides this,
on the 21st of January, 1898, at Berlin,
it was observed by the functionaries
Of the imperial Postoffice at 5 o'clock
in the morning, shining at full light
DR.. Waltemath predicts that our hith-
erto unobserved satellite will be Wis
ible on the Both day of July next, when
it will pass across the suns disc. 1t
may be expected that astronomer
who are at present somewhat skeptical
about this discovery-will keep a good
lookout for this body, which has hith-
erto eluded their observation.
Dr. Waltemath states that he was led
to the search for the new moon by the
known fact that the motion of our sa-
telhte, the old moon, was somewhat
quicker than it ought to be according to
the laws of gravitation. Could this ir-
regularity be due to another moon?
This was the thought that occurred to
DIR. Waltemath, and he set to work to
hunt UP such observations Of remark
able spots seen before the sun as might
justify the idea of the existence Of a
secondary satellite His researches sue
ceeded in proving Ito his own satisfac-
tion) that the new moon had actually
been seer. by several persons at various
times and in divers places as a round
black spot travelling across the face of
the sun. Comparing all the observa-
tions he was able to compute the orbit
of the little moon and its dimensions.
It's mean distance from the earth, SO
says our astronomer is $4,000 miles,
just 2 2-3 of the old moons distance
The amount Of the diameter is 40
miles, the area covers nearly 100000
square miles (more than ten times the
surface of England and Wales to-
gether). The power of the new moon
to reflect the suns light is so small
that, as a rule, its body will only be
seen by help Of a strong telescope.
Sometimes it shines like sun at night
time, but only for about an hour at a
time. Lieutenant Greely, when in
Greenland in 1881, remarks that he was
surprised to see the sun again, ten days
after the sun had gone Dr. Waite
math declares that this sun was
really the little moon in it's greatest
brilliancy.-London Daily News Cor

DECISION REVERSED.
Mrs. Sherman Loses Her Case
Against L. f. I. Wrinkle.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 22.-The Su-
preme Court has reversed the decision
of the Superior Court Of Inyo County in
the case Of Mrs. Flora M. Sherman
against L. F. I. Wrinkle, who claims a
tract of land on Owens Lake.
Mrs. Sherman attempted to dispos-
sess Wrinkle on the ground that he had
filed on more than the 600 acres he was
entitled to. She obtained judgment in
the lower court, but the Supreme Court
holds that as Wrinkle could not have
known the exact amount of land form
ed by the receding of the waters of the
lake, which he had taken up, there was
therefore, no intent of fraud.
