GARCIA Is DIsGUsTED.

New York, July PA Santiago spe-
cial, dated June 90. says that General
Garcia has written a letter to General
Shafter declaring that he is disgusted
at his treatment at the hands of the
Americans, and will therefore withdraw
his forces to the hills.
Among the things Of which General
Garcia complains is the failure of the
American commander to officially noti-
fy him of the surrender Of the Spanish
forces under General Toral, and he Is
also incensed at the alleged fact that
he was not invited to be present at the
ceremony attending the formal oapitu-
lation of Santiago. Another grievance
is the retention of the Spanish civil au-
thorities in the administration OF their
functions in Santiago
For these reasons, Garcia declares.
he will no longer cooperate with the
forces under General Skaters COM
mand. but will act Independently, as
he did before the American troops land
ed in Cuba.

SUFFERERS ON THE sENACA.
Shocking Condition of the Wounded To
Investigated.

washington, July 22.-The dreadful
condition of the wounded on board the
Senaca, now at New York, was brought
to the attention of Surgeon General
Sternberg. He says the medical de-
partment is not responsible and that If
there is any blame it should attach to
the officer in command at Santiago.
"The Seneca was never intended as a
hospital ship" said he. "The Santiago
officers are responsible for taking her
for this purpose and in overcrowding
her afterward. The lack of water was
probably due to an accident to her dis
tilling machinery"
General Sternberg said there would
be rigid investigation and an en-
deavor to locate the blame for the bad
accommodations which had caused so
much distress among the wounded.
