from the warm climate of Cuba with
the hardships he had there endured
to the wintry weather of New York

the pneumonia which resulted in his

alarming stage untii the early part of
last week. On Tuesday night Gen.

members of the commission, attended
a dinner given in his honor by Gen

brought on an attack Of pneumonia
which eliminated in his death.
During the IL hours or more preced-
ing dissolution Gen Garcia was
unconscious most of the time At
intervals he recognized one or more
of those about him In his dying
moments. as all through his busy and
active life, his thoughts were for his
beloved country and It's people, and
among his last words were irrational
mutterings in which he gave orders
to his son, who is on his staff, for the
battle which he supposed was about
to occur aud in which be understood

life like appearance and gave no In
dications of the suferings which the
deceased had borne Just above the
head rested magnificent floral

palms tied with a pure white ribbon.
By direction of Maj. Gen Miles a
detachment of soldiers from Battery

suit OF this conference Mr.. Brauer re-
ceived n letter from Mr.. FitzgeIald'
which was not satisfactory 10 the STOCK

THE HUGHLETT MYSTERY.
Seeking for Funds said TO be iii an
Unknown Bank.

Mystery still surrounds the disappear
ance OF Mr. A. Nj. Hughlett who was
until recently in charge Of Randolph
Macon Academy at Bedford City. As
has 0cen lated, Mr.. Hugnlett ONE weeNs
ago went 20 Lynchburg from Bedford
CITY and registered az the carroll
Hotel Since that time he has disap-
peared from the face OF the earth.
Various theories are advanced 70 ac-
count for his disappearance. some think
that excessive work has caused tempo
rary alteration Of the mind and that be
IS either wandering about unconscious or
his whereabouts or has taken his own
life.
A committee headed by Or. w. W.
Smith. chancellor Of the Randolph-Macon
system OF schools. made thorough IN
spootion OF Mr. Hughlett's accsunts, IT is
said. They found his books IN excellent
order. al balanced up, and seeplngy
correctly kept One item attracted their
attention especially. Il was TO the effect
that several thosand dollars was de-
posted in bank.
The committee 1t is stated. made re-
port OF their investigations 10 Capta's
Richard Irby, treasurer Of the system
and his first question was.
In what bank IS Ih.5 money deposit
ed?"
This query the committee was unable
To answer. and II IS said, 1t has not yet
been asceTtained where the funds men-
toned are deposited, as no Srticular
bank was specified In the entry made by
alr Hughlett.
A. N. Hughlett was one OF the most
earnest. energetic and faithful students
that ever entered Randolph-M Macon Coll
lege lie stood near the head OF all his
classes and was known as speaker and
debater Of more than ordinary ability
He was always most exemplary IN hls
habits. and none bore a better reputation
with tho faculty or students.
In the town Of Ashland where ne re-
sided while attending college, he was
widely known and esteemed. His mys'
ferrous absence from his family and
friends has has created widespread re-
greet. and his young wife mas the sympa'
