because it is founded on the world-famous
Dreyfus case. opened at Englisns last night

HAVANA, Oct. H.-Cosme de la Tor
riente, aid-de-camp and secretary to Gem
eral Calixto Garcia, is quoted in an inter
view as saying that the general has not ac-
copied any post from General Lawton or
the other American officials; that it is not
true he is making tour of the eastern part
of Cuba, advising the disbanding OF the Gu
ban army, and that there is truth in
the statement that Garcia is going to the
United States for the purpose of endeavor-
ing to raise loan, which he has no author
ity to do. The aid-de-camP and secretary
further asserts that Garcia has not denied
the legality of the actual revolutionary gov
eminent of Cuba, nor has he accepted the
presumption of the United States. But il
appears Garcia has unofficialy expressed
the opinion that the present Cuban govern
ment, owing to a lack of members and per-
sonnet, could not be considered legal as a

actions are unconstitutional. General Gar
