CUBAES MISTRUST GARCIA
h General Suspected Of Having Sold On,
to Americans

TO Americans
NEW YORK, Oct. s.--A dispatch 70
the New York Herald from Santiago
de Cuba says General Garcia left the
city Thursday morning on his mission
through Santiago province, acting as
an agent Of the American government
TO arrange the details for the disband.
ment OF the Cuban army. He will con.
fer with the military commanders In
outlying districts, using his strong in.
fiuence to induce peaceful d~isarming
of the Cuban soldiers and their re-
turn to work. The tom will probably
occupy three weeks, and his party re.
ceived rations for that period from
General Lawton.
The officials of the American admin
i~stratiou here prophesy good results
from his negotiations, believing hat
Garcia's efforts will be successful In
getting this province rid of the large
number of insurgent bands, who are
living on the country In q condition OF
outlawry, levying contributions on the
planters and preventing the resump-
ton OF peaceful pursuits.
General Garcia il, however, daily
losing influence among the Cubans
His action in denying the authority OF
the provisional government has es-
tranged the majority OF the Moderate
party, while the Extremists resent his
friendly feeling for the United States
and his cooperation with tho admin
~istration here. Many of the latter
characterize him as a renegade from
the principles of independence and
openly avow that he Is allowing him.
self to be sold TO the Americans.
His motives are looked upon with
suspicion, and his desire to remove the
friction between the Cubaus and the
Americans is openly stated to be .
trap for the defeat OF Cuban indie
p~endence. This feeling will initiate
greatly against his usefulness from
IA American standpoint. As the re-
suit OF Garcia's negotiations General
Perez will assemble the remaining
troops of his command in the vicinity
Of Guantanamo October 10, and will
there disarm and disband them. This
news, which was communicated TO
General Lawton through General
Garcia. has given great satisfaction.
being the first instance of the vo,un-
tary disbandmcnt Of an important in
surgent command. General Perez,
however, recognizes that he cannot re-
strain his men under the present cir
cumstances and that the only solution
Of the problem is to disbaud them,
allowing the American troops to deal
with isolated cases OF lawlessness
without any restraint.
A scheme will be presented to tho
Cuban assembly OF delegates by 100
officers of the Cuban army, proposing
the raising Of q fund locally among
h planters to pay the iusurgent
army. 1t is believed the planters
would gladly contribute this sum for
the purpose Of freeing their estates
from the present members OF the Gu
ban military organization. The as.
sembly will be asked to guarantee the
loan by means OF the Cuban revenues,
which security, 1t Is believed, the
planters would accept Garcia's pro-
posal to go TO the United States 70
raise a similar loan Is not looked upon
with favor by the Cubans, unless the
United States IL behind him in the
matter
