a free and Independent government. But
when the question arises of appointing
authorities in Santiago de Cuba, under the
peculiar circumstances of our thirty
years strife against Spanish rule, can
not see but with the deepest regret that
such authorities are not elected by the
Cuban people, but are the same ones Sc
lected by the queen of Spain and hence
are ministers to defend against the Gu
bans the Spanish sovereignty.
"A rumor. too absurd to believe. gen.
eral sscribes the reason of your mea-
sures and of the orders forbidding my
army to go into Santiago for fear of
massscres and revenge against the Span
iards Allow me, sir. to protest against
the shadow Of such an idea We are not
Savages, ignoring the rules of civilized
warfare. We are a poor, ragged army.
as ragged and as poor as was the army
of your forefsthers in their noble war
for independence. but, as did the heroes
OF Saratofa and Yorktown, we respect too
deeply our cause to disgrace it with bar
barism and cowsrdice.
In view Of all these reasons. I sincerely
regret TO be unable 20 fulfill any longer
the orders of my government. and there
fore I have today rendered to the com
mander-in-chief OF the Cuban army. Ma
or General Maximo Gomez, my resigna-
ton as commander OF this section of our
army.
Awaiting his resolution. Withdraw
my forces TO the interior. Very respect
fully yours. CALIXTO GARCIA"

artillery into action against Pondo. Santa

Washington, July 22.-The war depart
ment was today still in official ignorance
of the reported retirement OF Garcia with
his army from the American lines al San
tiago and the resignation OF that Cuban
general. 1t was considered little sin
gular that General Shafier had not made
a report to the department Of the case
by telegraph, but he had so far shown
little disposition TO acquaint the depart
ment with the state of affairs at San
tiago unless called upon by direct inquiry
by the secretary of war Thus il was not
known at the department officially that
General Wood had been created military
commander OF Santiago. although the fact
would seem 10 be one of sufficient I'M
portance 70 justify its mention il ca bic

Regarding General Garcia's detection. il
was noticeable that the officials OF the
war department had a good deal of appre-
henSion over the outlook. 1t was not
doubted that he either had or would take
some such action as that reported. for ali
the information that had come TO the de-
partment seemed to indicate dissadsfac-

A talent for carpentering is not en-

done very clever things at it, as we'll
as in the way of wood carving. A
clever girl, whose Summer home is an
old house down on Long Island, has
done much toward making it attractive
by her gift in handling tools. Rows Of
shelves in the dining room, holding
the pretty china which decorates the
walls, she has put in place herself, and
they are as strong and, to all appear
