GARCIA, STILL UGLY.
HE HAsNOT ACCEPTED suPhE"Ao'
OF THE UNITED STATES.
DENIES CUBAN CIVIL AUTHORITY.
Recognizes only the Gcnerai-ih-
Chief of the Cuban Army-A"'"-
ca,es Closest Union Between Gu
bans and spaniards.

HABANA. October 14.--Cosme de la
Torriente, aide-de-camp and secretary TO
General Calixto Garcia, is quoted IN an
interview as saying that the General mas
not accepted any post from General Law
ton or any other American official; that II
is not true he is making a tour OF the
eastern part of Cuba, advising the dis
banding Of the Cuban army, and that
there is no truth in the statement that
Garcia is going TO the United states for
the purpose Of endeavoring TO raise a
loan.
The secretary further asserts that Gar
cha has not denied the legality of the
actual revolutionary government OF Cuba,
nor has he accepted the supremacy OF
the United States. But II appears Garcia
has unofilcially expressed the opinion that
the present Cuban Government, owing 10
lack Of members and personnel, could not
be considered legal, as a quorum is I'M
possible and, therefore, its actions are
unconstitutional.
General Garcia, it seems, from what his
secretary says, in all questions or au-
thority, at the present moment only re-
cognizes the general-in-chief OF the Cuban
army, though he recognizes the "transi-
tory government of the United States as
a consequence OF Intervention" and being
commanded by the revolutionary govern
ment to accept it and to Cooperate with
the American army at Santiago, he obey
ed orders.
TO FORGET THE PAST
Further. General Garcia is alleged 10
advocate the closest union between the
Spaniards and Cubans on the island. for
getting the past, and uniting in every er-
fort looking to the establishment OF in
dependence"
These statements are considered among
the Spaniards here as indicating Garcias
real attitude toward the United States
and the future of Cuba.
Stenographer Dalbey was removed to-
day from the Trocha Hotel, at Vedado,
the headquarters of the American Mill
tary Commission, TO the Quita del reg
Hospital, suffering from malarial-fever.
Lieutenant-Colonel Clous emphatically
denies the published statement that 10000
Cubans will cooperate with the Ameri-
can troops in the preservation OF order
after the evacuation of the island by the
Spaniards. The American oIicer also de-
MES that Matanzas will be occupied by
the Cubans when the Spanish forces leave
that place.

1t is sometimes said that Washington
was in his day the richest American. II
would be difficult to prove this, and
doubtless the statement Is an exaggera~
ton, such as the common country tale
that Washington could stand and jump
22 feet" 1t Is needless to say that no
such record of his prowess In this line
has come down to us.
Washington was not the man to throw
away a dollar. In youth he was, and
expected to remain. comparatively poor
as he was younger son. and the family
followed the English custom Of primo.
geniture--so far, at least, as concerned
the family estate, Mount Vernon. which
was left TO Lawrence Washington.
Lawrence died in 1852 and his infant
daughter shortly afterward, leaving the
estate to George.
His marriage with the wealthy widow
of John Parke Custis brought him more
wealth, and his investments in westeru
lands were also shrewd and profitable.
But. though an exact and capable
business man, Washington was no nigs
gard. He entertained lavishly. 1t was
by his advice that the largest room In
the White House was designed for q
state dining room. Washington never
occupied the house. and his successors
have found the room much too large
even for state dinners. The dining
room in Mount Vernon, designed by
Washington, is also much the largest ip
the house.

THE BEAUTY
OF SYMPATHY.

1t seems at times as II there was not
enough sympathy in this world. 1t n
so easy to say kind word to others
when they have had some slight mis-
fortune-lost a few pennies, broken some
treasured prize. had a fall or even suf-
fered injury to their clothes. The small,
kindly spoken word will help to dry the
tears and bring relief to the strain Of
heart better than anything else.
Money or promises of something bet-
ter in the future do not have the heal-
ing effect or do half so much good as
the sympathetic words of some one who
seems willing TO take the burden of sore
row or grief away from you. Your Un~
Gle George remembers when he was q
child that the death of a pet bird, q
Java sparrow. the first and last he ever
owned, was the greatest grief that ha
had known. 1t was the sympathy of a
dear old woman who had no children Of
her own and regarded him as her
hoy" that soothed him In his distress.
and when she promised to put little
chip OF marble above the birds grave
for monument, as she did. he was
so gratified that he forgot his sorrow.
That bit Of marble staid there for years
and is perhaps still standing. But IL
taught the lesson of what a great blesss
ing sympathy can be. !,
UNCLE GEORGE. !

should hold him responsible for the

whom the inca was on bad terms.
Frightened by the treachery OF the
Spaniards, the coya, or queen. had
sought advice Of the great high priest.
With much ceremony and many mystic
rious rites she was conducted to the
temple OF the sun in the Peruvian cap
from the oracle. 1t replied that the
Spaniards would kill the inca. no mat
ter how their demands were satisfied.
No peace could reign throughout the
land. the oracle said, until the con-
querors had forever departed to Spain.
So the queen sent word to the inca, and
he prepared to die. He was garroted In
the public square of his capital. Caxa-

had blazed in the heavens above the city,
and, pointing TO this, Atahuallpa calm
ly had predicted his own end to the
Spanish soldiers who surrounded him.
Pizarro was man who had very lit
tie faith in prophecies. Therefore he
calmly went on with his search for the
wonderful treasure city whence the
inca seemed able to draw such ex-
haustless stores OF gold. Gold had not
been greatly valued by the Peruvians:
but, seeing how their oppressors loved
1t, they determined that the Spaniards
should carry little away with them.
Wherever the Spaniards appeared they
found that the natives had been before
them and carried the gold. or the bulk
Of IL, away, and the search for the
treasure city of the incas went on for
years.
With the murder Of the Peruvian
ruler Pizarro's star seemed to have set.
Misfortunes gathered about him, and
treachery reigned among his followers.

Then they parted. Phil to begin what
seemed to be a stupendous task and
Jack to enjoy the pleasure Of spending
his money lavishly. for he had deter
mined to have at least one year of good
times.
During the first few weeks after they
parted Jack eagerly inspected his mail
every morning for some message from
Phil, but never a word came. and Jack
had no idea to what part OF the world
his friend had gone. He did not even
know IL Phil was prosecuting the search
at all. except that he did know that his
old chum was honest to a fault and
that he had thorough faith in him.
The weeks grew into months until
eight of them had passed before he re-
ceived any news at all, and then came
a telegram from Denver.

and he awaited the letter with more inn

him much. Jane was living in Denver
with her aunt, who was well to do. She
was leader in society, beautiful, ac-
complished. naughty as a queen. unap-
proachable TO most suitors, but had al
ready shown a decided preference for
Phil. That. with promise of further
information as soon as there should be
any to vouchsafe, was about the SUBJ
stance of the letter.
Jack waited a week. devoured by i'm
patience, for the second letter did not
arrive. Then he made up his mind that
he would 20 to Denver. where he could
watch the game with his own eyes. The
more he thought of IL the more he liked
the idea, and he started that night
