Santiago, Aug. 2.-Gen. Castillo, of the
Cuban army, at the invitation of Gen.
Iawton, came 10 the city yesterday for
the purpose of having an interview with
the American commander regarding the
disbandment of the Cuban forces in San
liago province.
The two officers had long talk at the
palace, after which Gen. Castillo returned
TO Boniato. Gen. Castillo expressed the
opinion that the disbandment Of Cubans
could be effected without trouble, but
rothing definite was decided upon.
He said that the hostility of the cubans
growing out of the refusal Of the Ameri-
cans TO permit joint military occupation
Of the conquered territory with the Gu
ban flag floating over the palace beside
the Stars and Stripes is disappearing, and,
under the advice of cool heads, their
scheme of making an armed demand for
their alleged rights has been abandoned.
Cubans Provide for Themselves.
The Cuban forces at Cobre, Boniato, Gil
bara and other places in the mountains
are subsisting on the country and have
made no applications to Gen. Lawton for
rations. Complaints from the railroad
relations are received occasionally. but.

lessness of trying to enforce this law in this country with an almost universal sentiment against it. To illustrate our position The sale of liquor to Indians is made separate offense. This law is supported by the sentiment of the peo- pie and statute never was enacted that is more rigidly enforced. Trials whether at the hands of the court or jury, are sure to result i'll con- viction and the offender is generally given the benefit of a high sentence.
 We doubt not that for the purpose of aiding in preventing sales of liquor to Indians the present prohibitory liquor law WAS enacted, but it renders no Us. sistance. The one law can be and is enforced. the other cannot be. We have thousands of miles of sea coast and to prevent liquor being brought i'll and sold Is proposition that is simply ridiculous.
 We believe Mr. lvey has done all in his power to enforce the law. He has made many seizures and his assistants are constantly on the watch, but 1t would take hundred thousand men to guard this coast We hope the powers at Washington will exercise some judg ment in this matter and not demand utter impossibilities from the men who are sent here to enforce the customs laws.

The District Attorney.

The Sitka Alaskan pays our friend Bennett the following compliments
 We print in this issue the opinion of the United States Circuit Court of Alp peals for the Ninth Circuit, in the case of Max Brakeman ct. al. vs. The Unit cd States carried up from District Court This is the celebrated liquor case which was carried up to test the present prohibitory liquor law. This is of great interest to our people and for this reason we publish it in full
 United States Attorney Bennett has been upheld on every point, and his view of the law sustained. Hereafter our people will direct their efforts to Congress and endeayor to have it n- peal this obnoxious law. Had this been done before, by this time we would be living under high license law and the train of evils which follow the present law would be done away with. MT. Bennett's advice i'll the beginning to enforce this law until repealed and to work for it's repeal, if not suited to our condition, was most wise. It was for the best interests of Alaska and for our people, Law must be enforced. We sincerely trust that on the next boat we shall receive news that this evil and obnoxious law has been repealed.

PROHIBITION IN ALASKA.

Elsewhere in this paper mention is made of the recommendation of the grand jury against the present prohibit tory liquor law and in favor of high li- cense. The present statute has been given fair trial and has been found unsuccessful and unsatisfactory, and we believe it to be the duty of congress to make the necessary change; and, further, we think the departments at Washington are unwisely urging the enforcement of law so undesirable to the people of this district and so un- successfully enforced A total lack of knowledge by the departments con corning the country and it's inhabi
 tants is no doubt the cause that prompts the higher authorities at the capital to urge upon the local officers the attempted enforcement of the pro- hibitory law. We are not urging Mr. Ivey to refuse to do his duty by any means, for we know he is acting on di- rect orders, but we are urging upon the authorities above him the utter use

Mr.. Hull was besieged by questions as
to the manner in which the reduction of
the army would take place when HOSTILE
ties ceased.
He explained that the officers of the
skeleton regiments would be absorbed by
promotion.
Mr.. Underwood (Dem.) of Alabama Wig
orously opposed the measure, which he
declared could not possibly pass under
the stress of war pressure.
Mr.. Hay (Dem) of Virginia, who warmly
advocated the bill. denied that the pur-
pose of the bill was to give West Point
officers commands which they would 9TH
erwise not obtain.

Der Of the committee. supported the bill.
which he said would make the army eff
ficient in time of war.
HOW ABOUT SUPERNUBIERARIES
Mr. Marsh (Rep) of Illinois, also a mem
Der of the committee said that in justice
10 the war department and the regular
army he would state that the former bill,
which provided for infantry companies OF
$50 men, met the approval of neither. The
bill did not provide the mode and method
OF mastering out the supernumerary Of
fcers when hostilities ceased. Additional
legislation would be required to accom-
plish this, or possibly the bill would be
construed as comforting this authority on
the president.
Mr.. Hull said there could be no doubt
about the construction of the law. The
supernumeraries would be mustered out
when the war ceased.
Mr.. Bailey said ne thought il was not
very high compliment to the army to be
told that the inefficiency of the army on
the eve OF war was admitted. After thirty
years of peace it seemed 20 him that the
plans of the army to meet an emergency
should have been perfctd- 1t was strange
that an obsolete formation should have
been retained all these years. What he
vas particularly insistent about was that
the supe-numerary officers and men
should be mustered out when ths wa-
closed.
