protect them in every way from attack and
insult by the Cubans.
While Gen. Valderrama was here he and Gen.
Wood exchanged calls. The former compli-
mented Gen. Wood on the improvements that
had been made in the city and wished him luck
In the government Of the province.
Capt. Carvalho. a Spanish guerrilla. who was
formerly a member Of the Cuban Army and
who deserted to the enemy. together with six
teen other guerrilias. arrived here to-day on q
north coast steamer. The Cubans had heard
that Carvalho was coming. and a crowd gath
cred at the wharf when the steamer arrived
and stoned him and threatened his life. Car
ralho left the steamer in spite OF the threats.
whereupon the mob set upon him. and his life
was saved only by the Intervention OF four
American sailors. who beat the crowd back.
The other sixteen guerrillas. seeing the recep-
ton that had been given to Carvalho. remained
aboard the ship.
When the matter was reported to Gen. Wood
he ordered that Carvalho's companions should
not attempt to land. A company OF soldiers
was detailed to escort them to the steamer
Josefta. and they sailed for Havana with Gen.
ylderrama and his staf. The Cubans here
declare that II Carvalho attempts to return they
will kill him. Carvalho was a turbulent revo-
lutonist before he deserted to the Spaniards.
and Gen. Wood will not allow him or his COM
panions to come here. where there are enough
mischief makers already.
Gen. Wood sailed for Guantanamo this even
ing on the gunboat Hist with Lieut.. Hanna to
reorganize the civil government established by
Col. Ray. Matters are not working smoothly
enough in the Guantanamo district to suit Gen.
Wood.

tured during the war by American ships. will
be returned to their owners tomorrow.
