While it is true that the latest develop
ment in this very important controversy at
the front shifts the necessity for explana-
ton from our shoulders upon the insur-
gents, the situation nevertheless contains
enough % the unpleasant to be trouble

but that the insurgent armies under Gomez
Garcia and the others represent, in the
mass, the feeling and sentiment in Cuba in
favor of independence and in opposition to
Spanish rule The administration has no
desire to offend this element, and regrets
that already a state of antagonism has

NO WORD FROM MILES
BUT 1T is BELIEVED THE GENERAL
is AT HIS DESTINATION.
He Has Plenty of Artillery, and May
Force "a Landing ON Porto Rican
Soil without Delay.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-It was said at
the War Department late to-day that no
news can be expected from any official
source as to General Miless movements TN
til tomorrow at the earliest. 1t is calcu-
lated that he arrived this evening or to-
night at the point on the coast of Porto
Rico selected as the rendezvous for all the
vessels of the expedition. Whether or not
he will undertake to make landing in ad-
vance of the arrival of the whole expedition
probably will depend entirely on conditions
as he finds them. Should there be no Span
ish force, or, at least, an inconsiderable one
on the coast, the troops will be landed to
relieve them from the disastrous effects Of
being confined closely on shipboard under
a tropical sun. The general has with him
sufficient artillery to hold any position he
may choose to occupy, supplemented as this
artillery will be by the guns of his naval
convoy. Meanwhile the department is MAX
ing every effort to hurry along the remain
der of the expedition. Some troops are now
on their way from Tampa and Charleston.
and should reach Porto Rico by the middle
of the week Naval officials are assisting
actively in getting the. troops off, and were
engaged to-day in sending the necessary or
ders TO that end TO the commanders of naval
auNlnary vessels which nave been placed
at the service Of the War Department. In
the course of day or two the troops
brought from Chickamauga by Gen. Brooke
will sail from Hampton Roads, where they
have been arriving all day and are ready
for the transports. There is a probability
that General Miles may be delayed for sew
eral days in his landing operations for lack
of lighters, but several of these are now on
their way and others will be hurried for
ward as rapidly as possible. However 1t
may be as to his speedy landing on Porto
Rico sell, it will be well along towards the
end of this week before the active land cam
paign can be begun in Porto Rico.

where Mayor George w. Duncan in a neat
and patriotic speech welcomed the popular
young officer back to his home Colonel
Thayer was evidently much affected by the
respect and courtesy shown him by his fell
low-citizens. In a short speech full of feel

attachment to his native city and it's peo-

carefully the health of each soldier was
looked after. No man in Greenfield is so
popular with the whole people as Colonel

Correspondent Arms Drafts Another
Letter for Cubans

The document which is being circulated for
signatures among Cuban residents in

United States, thanking him for the CO.
operation of the army of the United States
and expressing the hope that the American
government will recognize Cuban sovereign
ty in the surrendered portion of the province
of Santiago de Cuba was drafted by Arms,
the newspaper correspondent on the staff of
the Cuban General Castillo, who drafted
the alleged letter of protest from General
Garcia to General Shafter. The following
is the text of the document:
ITO President Mckinley:
THE undersigned, Cubans by BIRTH land
owners and residents of Santiago de Cuba,
representing, with their families, the nom
combatant population that suffered for
many years Spanish rule in this section of
the island. wish to express their warmest
thanks to the people Of the United States
for delivering them from the insufferable
yoke of Spanish rule.
''They wish also to express their absolute
confidence in the good faith and humani
tartan purposes of the United States and in
the pledge that the territory of Cuba is not
to be conquered by the American troops for
would urge that our own people are capable
of fulfilling the international obligation to
establish a government for the island.
Cuba in the future may possibly become in
the course of a few years part of the terri
tory of the United States thus increasing
the comfort and happiness of this people,
but now all desire a government of our
own as compensation for the sufferings and
haroieY,, of n,,t. army and the dafnite esta h
lishment of the Cuban republic, with Gu
ban authorities in accordance with the reso-
lutions of the United States Congress.
I'VE hope that the present state of affairs
at Santiago, where Spaniards are still the
administrators of our interests, property
and fate, will be brief; that the city may
soon be turned over to the Cubans, and that
our army may enter, the flag of Cuba way
ing triumphantly beside the American flag.

sHAFTER TO GARCIA.
Letter Alleged to Have Been Written
by the American Commnnder


by the American Commander.
NEW YORK, July 24s-A dispatch from
Santiago de Cuba says: The following let
ter has been sent by General Shafter to
General Garcia in reply to the latter's pa
thetic remonstrance written few days
ago:
My Dear General-I must say that was
very much surprised at the receipt of your
letter this morning, and regret extremely
that you should regard yourself as in any
way sighted or aggrieved.
''You will remember the fact that in
vited you to accompany me into the town of
Santiago to witness the surrender, which
you declined. This war, as you know, is
between the United States and Spain, and it
is out of the question for me to take any
action in regard to your forces in connec-
ton with the surrender, which was made
solely to the American army.
THE policy of my government in contin-
uing in power temporarily the persons oc-
cupying the offices is one which l am, Of
course, unable to discuss To show you the
views held by my government, see the copy
of instructions received by me yesterday
from the President, which appear to cover
everything that can possibly arise in the
government of this territory while held by
the United States.
Full credit has been given you and your
valiant men in my report to my govern
ment. and wish to acknowledge to you the
great aid and valuable assistance you rem
dered during the campaign.
'I regret very much to know of your de-
termination to withdraw yourself from this
vicinity. 1 remain, yours very sincerely,
WILLIAM r. SHAFTER,
Major General Commanding.
The letter was taken to General Garcia's
headquarters near Santiago. The complica-
tions that have resulted from retaining in
position the Spanish officers which General
Garcia protested against in his recent let
ter to General Shafter are becoming more
serious.
The members of the Spanish court of JUS
tice met to decide whether they would con-
tinue to hold Office or resign. This action
was brought about by President McKinleys
proclamation demanding that the Spanish
authorities recognize the sovereignty of the
United States. The judges announced that
they would consult the government officers
in Madrid, but they were told by General
Shafter that the Presidents requirements
were very explicit, and that the authorities
at Madrid had nothing to do with the mat
ter. The Cubans are preparing petition to
the Spanish officers The war was begun
for the special purpose of releasing Cuba
from Spanish rule, they say
