Hospitality Of Citizens
The men were so overwhelmed
with gifts conscientiously given that,
upon the instruction Of an Off
Ger, a sentry was stationed at each
end of car to keep out the curious
and others, and those on business Of what
soever nature were referred to the officers
car.
Here the crowd was particularly press-
ing. and composed in the main of ladies
who wished to get a look at the officers.
Such hero worship Of soldiers as was dis
played last night was thought to have
gone out of fashion long ago. Women
gained admittance into the car under the
most astonishing pretexts, and some with
out any, for the colored sentry had all lie
could do to fight the men out. The en-
trance to the car was deluged with flow
ers, and fruits Of all kinds were laying
about-more than the officers could hope
to eat in month.
Many prominent citizens, among them

Cuban Leaders Who Do Not Believe in
Pi1lage.

Washington, July 20.-Senor Quesada
Junta have been in consultation with
officials of the war department today.
The United States officials were assured
that there was no dissatisfaction with
the management of affairs in Cuba so
far as the Cuban representatives were
concerned and that if Gen. Garcia and
other Cubans operating about Santiago
were not in harmony with the United
States authorities it was from a misun-
Outstanding Of the Presidents procama-
ton and of the intentions of the United
States government in the premises. The
Cubans at Santiago, it was stated, prob
ably thought the action of Gen. Shafter
meant the continuation of Spanish rule
and Spanish authority. 1t being we'll
understood here that such was not the
case it was the belief of the Cuban
representatives that when the matter
was made plain to the Cuban officers in
the field they would acquiesce in the
the United States army hearty support.
The Cubans assured the war officials
that nothing was further from their de-
sire than q rupture with the United
States forces and authority. 1t also be-
came known that the Junta had sent
dispatches to Gen. Garcia and other
Cuban officers stating that their course
at Santiago is not approved by the
Junta and if persisted in would result in
serious injury to the Cubans 1t is be-
lieved that the representations made will
bring about a better understanding be-
tween the Cuban officers and the Ameri-
cans. The opinion was expressed at the
war department. that the better class Of
Cubans in the island will have no sym
pathy with those who would bring about
trouble, but that it is the lower and
vicious classes who desire to loot and

Custom House wharf was lively yester-
day about O'Clock. 1t was the occasion
of the annual picnic of the children and
friends of the Catholic orphan asylum.
The outing was held at Little Diamond
Island, and so great WAS the rush through
the gates that custom house officials were
stationed to tally the crowd and see that
the boats were not overloaded. The
Eldorado soon reached her limit and
started off, when the Emita came along
side the wharf and took the rest of the
picnicers. Arriving at, Little Diamond,
a ball game was played for the amuse-
ment of all and a variety of out.of- door
sports enjoyed. Good, music added to

morning she struck large round rock,
which caused her to list SO that her rail
almost touched the water. The boat
was not damaged, and, aside from a
slight scare, no one was injured. Sea-
men about Cousen's island say the rock
was not there last year, and that it was
doubtless brought in by the ice. This
being the Phantom's first trip for this
year, her captain was not aware of the
presence of the rock in that locality.
