GENERAL GARCIA AMBITIOUS
Hopes to supplant Masso as President Of the
Cuban Republic.
NONE BUT SOLDIERS ALLOWED To VOTE
Banks ON His Popularity in the Army
to Secure the Election Over the
Conservative Element
Headed by MRssO.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2O.-The Tribune prints
the following this morning: The Red II
line steamer Philadelphia, which was char
tered by the New York and Cuba Steamship
company to carry cargo to Santiago de
Cuba, arrived here yesterday. 1t was the
first merchant vessel to leave this port for
Santiago with cargo after the port was
captured. On its return yesterday 1t brought
thirty eight passengers. When it sailed
from here 1t carried 125 passengers, mostly
people who desired to prospect in Cuba.
Mr. Beaudoin- Bennett, who was a passen.
ger on the Philadelphia had been in Cuba
from the time the United States sent its first
expedition for the relief of the Cubans from
Tampa, on May II last. He was at Esper-
anza, the seat of the Cuban provisional gov
ernment, until last month, when he left tho
island in an open boat. In speaking Of
events at Esperanza he said: THE Cuban
government is delighted with the turn Of
affairs. Although it has been in regular
communication with Havana. IL has not
heard from Garcia since May last. Garcia
has not been on the best of terms with tie
government Gomez has already come out
openly and announced that he will not per.
init his name to go before the people as q,
candidate for the presidency Of the Cuban
republic General Garcia. on the contrary,
has let his friends know that he is q can.
didate for the presidency. There will, there.
fore, be two candidates, President Masso
and General Garcia. General Garcia will
have little chance with the civilians but
he stands high with the men in the army.
The Cuban constitution provides that only
those persons in the army or those who
have served in the army can vote, there.
fore, a lot of boys 16 years OF age will be-
allowed to vote for Garcia, whereas, men
who have not been in the army, but who
prefer the conservatism Of Masso, cannot
vote for him. The next Cuban election will
be held Just as soon as the seat OF govern
ment can get into town to conduct an elec.
tion.
THE present Cuban government, accord-
ing to the constitution. should be dissolved
on the evacuation of the island by the Span
ish and new election must be held to elect
officers to frame a new constitution. There
Is no Disgusting the fact that there Is lots
Of trouble ahead for the Cuban government
and ! honestly think there will be many
riots before tranquility is restored. The
Cuban government promised to pay the SOL
diers, but as there is no fund from which
to pay them 1t is suggested now that the
new constitution make no provision for
paying them In any event. it looks as
though the government Of the Cuban re.
public ic to see more stormy times. Pres.
ident Masso hopes to move the seat OF gov
ernment to Santiago and afterward to
Havana. He is confident that the United
States government will, as soon as prac-
ticable. turn the island over to the Cubans
for self-government."

Democrat Committee Meeting.

The democratic county committee Is hold
ing session this afternoon. 1t is probable
that 1t will do nothing more than select
delegates to attend the congressional con-
vention to be held here next Saturday, post
poping the calling of county nominating
convention until the political situation clears
up. Should this postponement be taken 1t
will be considered a victory for that
element of the party in favor OF
making more concessions to the
other branches of the fusion agreement on
the legislative ticket. The advocates of a
straight ticket are demanding the holding
of the convention at an early date, while
the others want more time In which 10
