Washington, Dec. Is. = Gen. CaIXCO
Garcia, the distinguished Cuban war
rior and veteran head of the commits
sion elected by the Cuban assembly 10
visit this country, died here yesterday
morning shortly after 10 o'clock at the
Hotel Raleigh, where the commission
has it's headquarters. The sudden
change from the warm climate OF
Cuba with the hardships he had there
endured to the Wintry weather OF New
York and Washington is responsible
for the pneumonia which resulted Ill
his demise. He contracted a slight
cold in New York. which did not as
sumo an alarming stage until the carry
part of last week. On Tuesday night
Gen. Garcia, in company with the 9TH
er members of the commission, at
tended a dinner given in his honor by
Gen. Miles, and it was result OF the
exposure that night which eliminated
in his death During the twelve hours
or more
Preceding Dissolution
Gen. Garcia was unconscious most of
the time. At intervals he recognized
one or mere of those about him. In
his dying moments, as all through his
busy and active life, his thoughts were
for his beloved country and its people,
and amongst his last words were IL
rational murmurings in which he gave
orders to his officers on his staff fer
the battle which he supposed was to
occur tomorrow, and in which he I'M
derStOod there were only 400 Span
iards to combat. Just before he died
he embraced his son. Rev. Father
Magee, Of ST. Patricls church, was
called in during the day and was with
Gen Garcia until the end, administer
ing the last rites Of the Catholic
church. Other members Of the COM
mission and Mr.. Rubens, their counsel
in this country were also in the bed
chamber when the end came. The
remains were Immediately
Prepared for Burial
and were placed on a bier in the room
in which he died. A large Cuban flag
served as a covering, and the head
rested On one of smaIled dimensions
The face and bust were left exposed
to public view. The features had re-
markedly life-like appearance and
gave no indication Of the suffering
which the deceased had borne. Just
above the head rested a magnificent
floral piece of red and white roses and
croSS-palmS tied with a pure white
ribbon. By direction Of Maj. Gen.
Miles, a detachment of soldiers from
battery E, Sixth artillery, at the bar
racks here under command of Lieut..
Cox, was detailed as a body guard for
the remains. After Gen. Garcias
death steps were taken to notify the
government officials here and also the
executive committee Of the Cuban as
sembly, which has it's headquarters at
Marianao, Cuba. Secretary Jose Vii
Ialon, of the commission sent a tele-
gram of notification to Mendez Capot,
the president of the Cuban assembly,
who is now in Havana.
Letters of coincidence were received
from President Mckinley, Secretary Of
State Hay, Gen. Miles, Senator For
aker and others. Arrangements for
the funeral have not yet been made.

Vigorous Action

London, Dee. 13.-The Peking CORE

wrote threatening letters to foreign
