SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 26.-Tho
Cubans here resent General Skaters
attitude in ignoring General Garcia
and in refusing to allow the Cuban
troops to enter Santiago, or to consult
General Garcia on terms Of the sur
render of the city. General Garcia's
action in withdrawing his troops to
the interior, his letter to General
Shafter and the resignation Of hia
command, forwarded to General Gomez,
are approved and a~pplauded by all
classes of natives. General Garcia re-
fused to accept a subordinate place,
insisting that he was an ally.
General Skaters answer, saying
that this was a war between the United
States and Spain, irrespective Of Cuba's
individual interests, and President
McKinley's instructions with reference
to the administration of the surren-
dered district, are interpreted as q
tacit avowal Of American intention to
annex the island and not to grant in
dependence.
This is opposed by the Cubans Senior
Joaquin Castillo, president Of the San
Carlos Cuban club and h brother of
General Castillo, urges an official pro-
test to President Mckinley without
delay, saying silence now would indi-
cate our consent to the American at
titude, which Is a plain breach OF
faith, that Cubans cannot possibly TOD

WASHINGTON, July 26.-General Wcy-
Ter Is one of the greatest opponents of
a peace policy in Spain, according to
information received here. Not only
will he refuse to have anything to do
with a peace cabinet, but he refuses %
exert his influence for the dynasty
while there is the least talk Of yield

lie urges that the Spanish govern
ment endeavor to urge on Germany
and the other powers, except England,
compel this government TO divide its
forces in order to sustain several fires.
II is said that he has urged this curse
upon Romero Robledo and several
Others high in court favor. The Irene
incident in Subig bay, he complains
bitterly, was not taken advantage of.
Had the German government been

would have been precipitated. Dewey's
feet would have been nnnihilated, and
Spain would have had everything her
own way.
weylcr spoke very favorably OF Gen.
eral Blanco, saying that he reposed
the fullest confidence in him, and be-
lievcs that he will hold Havana. He
said that IL Blanco does what he has
promised and carries out the projects
which he has before him, the Spanish
flag will continue to wave in the west
ern hemisphere. Weyler believes that
the war will be a long and bloody one,
but says that Spain will triumph, and
he bitterly opposes anything looking
toward an early peace movement. .

The Old Carryall.

It's alone in the dark of the old wagon she'd
head,
And the sun, siftin' in through the dirt and the
mold
OF the winder's dim pane. specks 1t over with god
Its curtains are battered, its cushions are worn,
It's kind of ghost of a carriage forlorn,
And the dust from the roof settles down like pail
On the sorrowin' shape of the old csrryall
1t was built long ago. when the world seemed to be
A heaven, jest made up for Mary and me,
And my mind wanders back to that first happy ride
When she sat beside me-my beauty and bride.
All, them were the days when the village was new,
And folks took time to live, God meant 'em to do;
And there's many 'hnskin' and quiltin' and ball
That we drove to and back in the old carryall.
And here In the paint are the marks OF the feet
Where little form climbed to the high-fashioned
seat
And soft baby fingers them curtains have swung,
And curly heads nestled the cushions among.
And then came the gloom of that black. bitter day
When "Thy will be done" looked so wicked to say
AS We drove to the grave, while the rain seemed to
fall
Like he tears of the sky on the old carr IL.
And so 1t has served through sunshine and cloud
Through fun'rals and weddin's, from bride wreath
to shroud;
It's old and its rusty, it's shaky and lame,
But love every tint of its rickety frame,
And it's restin' at last for Its race has been rum
It's lived out Its life and Its work has been done,
And hope in my soul, at the last trumpet call
I'll have done mine as well as the old carryall.

Loves Masterpiece.

A century since, in the north OF
Europe, stood an old cathedral, upon
one of the arches of which was sculp-
tured face Of " ondrous beauty. 1t was
long hidden, until one day, the sums
light, striking thro ugh slanted win
dow revealed its matchless features.
And ever after, year by year, upon the
days when for brief hour it was thus
Illuminated, crowds came and waited
eagerly to catch but glimpse Of that
face. 1t had strange history. When
the cathedral was being built an old
man, broken down with the weight of
years and cares, came and besought the
architects to let him work upon it. Out
of pity for his age, but fearful lest bis
failing sight and trembling touch might
mar some fair design, the master set
him to work in the shadows Of the
vaulted roof.
One day they found the old man asleep
in death, the tools of his craft laid in
order beside him, the cunning of his
right hand gone, his face upturned to
this other marvellous face which he had
wrought there-the face of one whom
he had loved and lost in his early man
hood. And when the artists and sculp-
tors and workmen from all parts of the
cathedral came and looked upon that
face they said: "This is the grandest
work of all; love wrought this From
the Humanitarian.

OF fire, fire.. The inmates, more or fewer,
rose In hot haste to dress, the excitement
having been such that one Of the men could

to thrust at the same time both legs and an
