CUBA GRIEvEs DEEPLY OVER
GENERAL GARCIA'S DEATH.
His Death Removes the Most Popular
OF Cuban Leaders, and the Loss Is
Keenly Felt at Washington.

NEW YORK. Dec. 1l.--A dispatch to the
Tribune from Havana says:
Calixto Garcia's death at this critical
period Is loss for both Cuba and the
United States.
The Cubans are today too much excited
over the killing OF two Of their number
on Sunday night by Spanish officers and
soldiers 10 appreciate Its significance,

unexpected strength In controlling the
radical elements at the Santa Cruz as

head OF the commission to visit Washing

Garcia was ambitious and he was
known to be looking forward to becoming
the president of the Cuban republic, but
he showed himself a politician in the
best sense OF the word.
Maxine Gomez had censured him for
his hasty action at Santiago after his
quarrel with shafter, and he was in open
antagonism to the members Of the for

mutual tolerence was shown.
The sorrow over Garcia's death will
be widespread. He was not a strong rev.

NEW YORK, Dec. N.-President MelIen
Of the Northern Pacific. gave out tho fol-
lowing statement today:
The Northern Pacific Compaay Is not
constructing nor does II contemplate con-
Structng ilnes for the purpose OF Injur-
ing any other company nor do / believe
that any other company INTENDS 20 build
lines 10 injure the Northern Pacldc.
The only construction which the Nor
thorn Pacific has In progress Is about Is
miles IN the Clearwater country, Idaho.
The Northern Pacific is the only line
IN that country. or within % miles OF Il
A question has arisen between the Nor
theTn Pacific and the o. II. & N. as TO
who;her the o. X. q N. should not also
DO allowed 10 occupy that country without
belug considered as Invading the territory
Of the Northern Pacific.
Except the 70 miles in question, no con-
struction has been authorized by the Nor
thern Pacific board, and none will pe
undertaken without It's authority. have
ncne to recommend az present.
The Northern Pacific is not engaged
in a war with any OF its nelghbors and
competitors. and does hot, expect 30 be.
It's relations with all It's nelghbors are
friendly.
Local territorial questions. like the one
between the Northern Pacific ana the o.
II. & n, are OF common occurrence be-
tween railways. and, when conservative
counsels prevail. are generally settled by
negotiation. as presume this one will be
In duo time.
Outside of lines covered by the plan OF
reorganization the Northern Pacific. since
It's reorganization was completed, over
two years ago. has built only 100 miles Of
railroad (mostly spurs) and has bought
only 10 miles This latter was line
which had been acquired for It In 1892
or 1898 but which the old Northern Pa
oidc had been unablel TO pay for by rea-
son ot It's insolvency.
Tho Northern Paciiic Is not disposed
to build or buy railroads, and can hardly
imagine that any condition will arise
which would lead IL " do much building.
IL may by reason OF business necessity,
from time to time. as the country devel-
ops, have TO buld a short branch here
and there, and sooner or later Il VIII

HERMANN SPOKEN OF
TO SUCCEED BLISS.
His appointment as Secretary Of the In
terror on Accent Of the Recent
Oregon Election Is Probable.

NEW YORK, Dec. I--A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
1t Is the opinion of leading members
OF the administration still in the city
that the vacancy to be caused by the
resignation Of Secretary Of the Interior
Bliss will be filled by promotion.
In this connection the names OF Binger
Hermann. commissioner OF the general
land office. and Assistant Secretary of
the Intrior Webster Davis are being con-
sidersd. Both OF these are personal
friends OF the president and have given
excellent service to the party.
For geographical reasons It is thought
that Herman's chances are the better,
There is no representation In the cabinet
from the Pacific coast, and on account
Of the vote Of Oregon in the recent cleo
tions, it is thought highly probable that
the president will confer the office OF
secretary Of the interior upon Mr.. Her
man.
Mr.. Davis, however, has given very
valuable campaign services in many
states, for which the president feels very
grateful. -
