GEN. GARCIA'S LETTER
To Gen. Shafter Complaining of His
Ill Treatment.

Santiago de Cuba, July 22.-The fol-
lowing is the full text of Gen. Garcia's
letter to Gen. Shafter which was fol-
lowed by the withdrawal of Gen. Gar
cia from the American lines with the
Cuban forces:
"Sir-On May Z the government of
the Republic of Cuba ordered me, as
commander of the Cuban army in the
east, to cooperate with the American
army, following the plans and Obeying
the orders of its commander. 1 have
done my best, sir, to fulfill the wishes
of my government, and have been I'M
til now one of your most faithful sub
Ordinates, hOnOring myself in carrying
out your orders and instructions as far
as my powers have allowed nae to do it,
THE city of Santiago surrendered to
the American army, and news of that
important event was given to me by
persons entirely foreign to your staff.
l have not been hOnOred with a single
word from yourself informing me about
the negotiations for peace, nor the terms
of capituIation by the Spaniards. The
important ceremony Of the surrender of
the Spanish army and the taking pos
session of the city by yourself took
place later on, and I only knew of both
events by public reports.
Il was never hOnOred. sir. with
kind word from you, inviting myself or
any officer of my staff to represent the
Cuban army on that memorable oc-
casiOn.
Finally. I know that you have left
in power at Santiago the same Spanish
authorities that for three years have
fought as enemies of the independence
of Cuba. I beg to state that these au-
thOrities have never been elected at
Santiago by the residents of the city,
but were appointed by royal DEGREES Of
the queen of Spain.
Il would have agreed, sir. that the
army under your command should have
taken possession of the city, the garri-
son and the forts. 1 would have given
my warm cooperation to any measure
you might have deemed best under
American military law to hold the city
for your army and to preserve public
order until the time comes to fulfill the
solemn pledge of the people of the Uni
ted States to establish in Cuba a, free
and independent government, but when
the question arises of appointing au-
thorities in Santiago de Cuba, under
the peculiar circumstances of our thirty
years strife against the Spanish rule,
I can not see but with the deepest re-
gret that such authorities are not elect
ed by the Cuban people, but are the

we have no reason, so far, to change
the opinion expressed almost every
fall for many years, that whether
sweet potatoes keep well or not de-
ponds more on the soil on which they
are grown. or the condition of the no.
tatoes when dug, than upon the man
ner in which they are stored, except
that it is necessary to protect them
from severe cold. We have put them
IN carefully-constructed bins and had
them rot, while those that rolled into
the surrounding ditch lay in mud and
water Until Christmas without rot
ting. We have never been able to
keep sweet potatoes grown on ground
where potatoes were grown the year
before, or two years before, and after
ward rotted. We would not give ten
cents per bushel for potatoes thus
grown, except for immediate consump-
ton. 1t is our opinion that the germs
OF the prevailing sweet potato rots are
in the soil and affect the potatoes be-
fore they are dug. and that such pota-
toes will rot more or less no matter
how carefully they are handled and
stored. Our experiment stations, we
believe, should experiment in this di-
rcction, and determine the facts

HERE AND THERE.

The only safe and economical way
of procuring a good herd of cows is
by raising our choice heifer calves.
To buy them is often uncertain bust
ness.
1t is the chief claim to superior
merit that an animal of pure blood is
able to make the most of every favora-
bic condition by which it is surround
ed, and this is the very point where
the scrub falls short.
"A boar should not be used for serv-
ice until he is fully eight months old,
and only when a steady growth has
been kept up. When this is done
boar at eight months will be fairly
well matured.
"A sow can not make a litter of
pigs and grow at the same time, and,
as a rule, she should not breed until
one year old. This may not hold
good with our earlier maturing breeds,
but breeding too young Injuries their
stamina.
Think twice before driving the
wagon load with corn into the hog
yard and dumping the contents on the
ground for day or two's feeding. We
would not treat our cattle in this way.
II we did we would lose them just as
we do our hogs.

tus, remember that water freshly

THE FUTURE OF ALASKA.
May De Slapped of All Resources and
Then Thrown Away Like q
Sucked Orange.

Under the present conditions when
the sea otter are destroyed, the fur
seal herd extermina ted, the native
tribes starved to death, the salmon
rivers depopulated, the timber cut, and
the placer gold fields worked out,
Alaska is to be thrown away like q
sucked orange. There is no other pos
sible end, if we continue as we have be-
gun. We are mot in Alaska for our
health" and whenswe can no longer
exploit it we may as well abandon it,.
But it may.be argued that it will be
very costly thing to foster all
Alaska's wide-separated resources,
and to give good government to all her
scattered villages and posts. Further
more, all this outlay is repaid only by
the enrichment of private corpora
tions, who, with the exception of the
fur seal lessees, pay no tribute to the
government.
Doubtless this is true. Government
is costly thing, and it's benefits are
unequally distributed. But the cost
would be less # we should treat other
resources as we have treated the fur
seal. To lease the salmon rivers and
to protect the lessees in their rights
would be to insure steady and large
income to the government, with
greater profit to the salmon canneries
than comes with the present con-
fusion and Industrial war.
But admitting all this, we should
count the cost before accepting "col-
onies." 1t is too late to do SO when
they have been once annexed. If we
cannot afford to watch them, to care
for them, to give them paternal rule
when no other is possible, we do wrong
to hoist our flag over them. Govern
ment by the people is the ideal to be
reached in all our possessions, but
there are races of men living under
our flag as yet incapable of receiving
the town-meeting idea. A race of chill
dren must be treated as children, a
race of brigands as brigands, and
whatever authority controls either
must have behind it the force of arms.
Alaska has made individuals rich,
but the government has yet to get it's
money back. But whether colonies
pay or not, 1t is essential to the in
tegrity of the United States itself that
our control over them should not be q
source of corruption and waste. 1t
may be that the final loss of her |
colonies, mismanaged for two CEN
turtles, will mark the civil and moral |
awakening of Spain. Let us hope that |
the event will not mark civil and |
moral lapse in the nation which re-
eeives SPANS bankrupt assets.-David |
Starr Jordan. in Atlantic.

build roads. Equity would demand

build roads. Equity would demand
that every one using the roads should
contribute to their maintenance. 1t
look many centuries for the people of
England to learn that justice demand
ed that the government should con-
struct the principal highways in the
country. 1t was the grossest injus-
tee to impose this burden upon the
country people living along the high
ways, and this injustice, SO keenIy felt
by them, produced rebellion in many
districts before the government was
aroused to the performance of its duty
In this particular. 1t was strange
that while the commerce between the
great cities of England was a hundred
times greater on the roads connecting
these cities than the country traffic.
yet the country people were forced to
build roads and keep them in repair"
The Southern Farm Magazine, in
publishing this article, recognizes the
fact that 1t is likely to provoke very
general discussion, much opposition
and much commentator, and it has
invited general discussion of the SUBJ
ject as to its constitutionality, as well
as regards the wisdom of such an in
novation, appreciating the fact that
the value of good roads has not in any
way been overstated by Col. Kelle-
brew, and the farmers would be the
ones most directly benefited.

only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mu-

this tube gets inaamed you have a rumbling

entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
