Island of Cuba.

the United States.

copyright by James Gordon Bennett
Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 26.-General
Garcia has granted me an interview in
which he discussed with much ANNA
ton the present situation in Cuba. I
found the general surrounded by his
staff in a large drawing room in
house in Gale de Basilio, seated in a
roomy rocking chair with the insignia
of his rank in the Cuban army still on
his uniform, chatting cheerily with his
aides. With him was his son, Colonel
Garcia, who acted as interpreter during
the interview. First of all asked:
General, what have you to say re-
garding your resignation from the Gu
ban army and the dispute with Gen.
Shafter leding up to it?"
"I should like it clearly set OUT Gen.
Garcia replied, that I had no personal
given me a distinct promise that the
American and Cuban troops should en-
ter the town together.
THAT promise he has denied, but,
nevertheless, it was SO. felt keenly
the indignity and neglect of the Cuban
troops and still more strongly the fact
that the Spanish officials still retained
obey instructions to cooperate with the
American army and as this feeling was
antagOniStic to the orders I had re-
ceived from the commander-in-chief,
resigned my command, writing a letter
to Gen. Shafter, which has been pub
lished.''
What in your opinion, general led
the provisional government to accept
your resignation? %
Gen. Garcia rose from the table where
he was seated, exelaining, excftedIy:

THE CALIFORNIA FLYER.
The Santa Fe's New Train Will Be a
Marvel

The California limited train of the Santa
Fe route will begin its fourth annual sea-
son, leaving Chicago Wednesday, NOVem-
Der 2, Westbound, and leaving Los An
geles Monday, November Z, eaStbOund, and
thereafter will run on Mondays, Wednes-
days and Saturdays from both terminals
through the period of California travel.
The train this year will be finer and
faster than ever 1t will run solid between
Chicago and Los Angeles, and one of the
sleeping cars will be run through to San
Diego on a closely connected train from
Los Angeles. 1t will consist of dining
car, gentlemen's buffet smoking car, two
ten section double drawing room sleepers
and an observation car containing ladies'
parlOr.
The smoking car will this year contain
a barber shop, and both the gentlemen
smoking room and the ladies' parlOr will
be literally provided with current periodi-
Gals.
This will be the fastest train ever run
to southern California, and six hours bet
ter time than has ever been made hereto
fore by the California limited, the transit
time between Chicago and Los Angeles
being only two and three-quarters days.
The entire train will be vestibuled and
electric-lighted, and will be strictly linn
tied in its capacity.
The Santa Fe route during the past year
which is seen in the cutting down of six
hours of the running time Of this train.

GRAIN RATES TUMBLE
Eastern Lines Cut to Stop Southern
Wheat Shipments

Persistent rumors and the fact that i'm
mense quantities of grain are moving
from the west to the Atlantic seaboard
instead of taking advantage of the very
low rates from Kansas City to the Gulf
indicate that eastern rates have gone to
pieces again. 1t is stated, and upon good
authority, that the lines between Chicago
and the Atlantic ports are taking 1212 cents
per 100 and leaS for carrying corn. The
authorized rate on this cereal from Chi
cago to New York is 201R cents, and to
Newport News and Baltimore 171z cents.
The normal rate on western wheat to
the Atlantic seaboard is BOZ cents. To
Gulf ports a rate of 20b cents has been
to the Atlantic, therefore, would indicate
a cut of at least 10 cents. It is probable
that both eastern and western lines are
standing part of the cut.

to my divisional commander with the
additional instructions to carry them
out even If opposed to my own orders.
Finding the situation at Santiago
such that it would have been a personal
insult to me and to my army to carry
them out, resigned. I should have Xix
ed to continue in command until the
government of the island was settled,
by my work was over. The war was
ended and, as I said in my speech Sat
urday night, the duty now of the sol
diers is to lay down their arms, to re-
sumo work and to endeavor, under the
protecting arm of your great and good
government, to build UP free Cuba"

DOCTORS DEFEATED.
Fort Scott Football Team Won From
NEEDLES.

Fort Scott, Kas., Sept. 26-The foot
ball season was opened here Saturday
when the local high school eleven de-
4eated the University Medical college
team by a score of 6 to 5. A tumble by
Fullback Holman when the Medics had
the leather within ten yards of the goal
line In the last half lost the physicians
the game. the locals working a crisis
cross fake play and scoring after the
tumble.
The defensive work of Heller, PendIe-
ton and Hill of the Medics, and the
playing of Dilworth, McElvaine and
Stinson of the Fort SCOTS, were fea-
lures. The local players averaged thirty
pounds lighter to a man than their op-
ponents, so the locals made all Of their
gains on end plays, while the Medics
confined their offensive work to buck
ing the line.
The Medics scored a touchdown in the
hrst half, but Pendleton failed to kick
goal. The Fort Scott team succeeded
IN advancing the leather to their oppo-
nents' ten-yard line, where they lost it
on fumbles. In the second half with
the ball almost to the Fort Scots line
Holman fumbled and Stinson, securing
the ball, ran the length of the field for
touchdown, from which an easy goal
was kicked.
In the last half Swearingen Of the
Medics was slightly injured in a tackle
ana was relieved by Lingenfelter. J. A.
campbell and DR.. Dulin of Kansas City
acted as umpires, and Robert Campbell
OF Fort Scott, referee.

BUNCoEs RAILROAD MAGNATT
President Hill of the Great Northern
Buvs q GSalted" Mine.

Guys a OAA5SO
that James J. Hill, president of the Great
Northern railway, has been taken in by
Bob Lyons, a French breed, with a
Sailed coal mine. Lyons claimed to
have discovered the mine in the Rainy
lake region of northern Minnesota, and an
analysis of the samples he displayed was
satisfactory.
At the instance of Hill Lyons conveyed
a party of explorers and woodsmen to
the lake where his coal was located. He
was sharp enough to lead them such
roundabout course that they Travelled sew
eral hundred miles in reaching the place
and the lake was frozen over when they
got there. In the meantime Lyons had
bargained for a payment of $500, which
Mr.. Hill had advanced on the strength Of
the assays, and had also demanded and
received food for his large family for sew
eral months. A hole was cut in the ice
and a hole was dredged into just where
Lyons said it was and a considerable
quantity of fine coal was brought up
and packed on mems backs to Duluth
On the strength of this confirmation Ly-
ons was able to get more food and he
drew in the end nearly $1,000 in cash and
provisions for more than two years be-
fore it was finally discovered that he had,
with the aid of some other Indians, pack
ed in the coal the year before and had
planted it in the lake bed, strewing it
across in such a way as to simulate a
vein.

Leavenworth Woman Seeks to Re
cover $4,000 Damages.

Leavenworth, Kan, Sept. 26.-ATrs. Parry
Jane Carper began suit in the. district
court to recover $40, coo damages from the
Santa Fe railroad for the killing of her
son. He was intoxicated and lying on
the track when killed, near the Soldiers
home, a month ago.
1t is claimed in the petition that it was
the duty of the trainmen to have stopped
and removed Carper, who was insensible
and in a comatose condition. The ques-
ton as to whether or not a railroad can be
held for damages in killing a drunken man
will come up in this case.
