Washington, March 14.--Colonel Myron
NJ. Parker, one of the leading business
men of Washington, who accompanied Sen
ator Proctor on his recent visit to Cuba,
said today that Americans on the island
had no doubt that the disaster to the Maine
was caused by Spanish agencies.
The insurgents, Colonel Parker thought,
were in better shape than ever before, and
would be able 10 accomplish their indie
pendence in time The Cubans, as a rule
he believed, would be glad to see the
lslanu come unuer the American nag and
would do all they could to bring about that
result.
The colonel reiterated his statement of
last night that the situation of the recon
centrados was deplorable in the extreme.
They were confined within narrow limits
and practically left to starve. The gem
erosty of the American people. however,
was beginning to be felt and the extreme
distress WAS gradually being relieved.

KNOW LITTLE
War Department Has Had No
Mail Advices From Shafter
Since He Left.
There Are Some Matters, Too,
Upon Which Information Is
Much Wanted.
Alleged Action of Garcia in At.
lacking Spaniards Who Had
Surrendered
Will Not Be Discussed Without
Official knowledge--It Is
Too Important.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-It is posi-.
lively stated al the war department
that the letter which General Garcia is
represented to have addressed to Gen.
eral Shafter announcing his with.
drawal from further cooperation with
the American troops, has not yet
reached the war department., The off.
cials are inclined to believe that if the
letter really exists, and Of that they
have little doubt, it will reach the de.
partment only through the mails from
Santiago. So far no mail report of any
character has come from General Shat.
ter since his landing in Cuba. to the
great disappointment Of tho officials,
who are looking for detailed accounts
Of certain events in the progress of the
campaign that were only obscurely
outlined by General Shafter. 1t was
hoped that the st. Paul, which arrived
Friday at New York, would bring
along a lot of mail. but she did not do

DumeIO GOee Home.
The only word hat has come from
Ehafter over night, was the statement
that General Duffield left Santiago for
home Friday IL that General Corbin's
son, who was reported to be better,
would leave for home as soon as he
could be transported safely. He and
General Duffield are said to have sui.
fered the only two pronounced cases Of
yellow fever in the American camp.
No word has reach the department
from any official source relative to the
reported attack by Garcia's Cubans
upon the body of Spanish soldiers who
were marching into Santiago to sur.
render to General Shafter. In the alb.
sence Of a reliable report on this occur.

with the gravest consequences, and at.

government towards the Cubans.
there is a decided disposition to refuse
to discuss the matter at the war de.

CAUSED MUCH SURPRISE.

Garcia's Attack on Spanish 1rcops q
Topic of Conversation
NEW YORK, July 25.-A dispatch to
The Herald from Santiago, via Port
Antonio says:
treat excitement was caused at San.
tiago today Thursday by a story
brought in by Cubans that 1000 Gu.
ban insurgents composing General
Garcia's army for the Eastern depart.
ment OF Cuba, were routed in a fierce
engagement with a detachment of
Spanish troops bound for Santiago to
surrender.
In this battle, which took place at a
point several miles to the north of this
city, Al Cubans were killed, the Cubans
say, and many more wounded. The
Spanish loss was much smaller. it is
said.
Nothing happening in this vicinity
recently has taken the American off.
GERS and troops so completely by sur.
prise as this story of battle between the
Cubans and Spaniards. Our troops
had come to look upon the insurgents
as eaters rather than as fighters. and
they scarcely believed the reports that
Garcia's men had lain in ambuscade.and
had opened the fight by attacking the
Spanish troops.
1t Is not known whether General
Garcia was aware OF the number Of the
enemy he was attacking. Ii he
thought he had encountered a small
force OF Spaniards and could over.
power them easily, 1t was a grave mis-.
take, apparently. There were at least
1900 spaniards in the body. according
to report, and they drove Garcia's man
into full retreat a few hours after the
battle began.
