GARCIA'S LETTER.


No one can read General Garcia's
letter to General Shafter without feel
ing that the penning of it was painful
to the man who wrote it, 1t is the let
ter of one who loves his country of
one who feels that a slight has been
put upon him at a most critical period
in his country's history; it is dignlfied
and manly, evidently the production Of
a gentleman.
Taking General Garcia's statement of
the case as correct and he certainly
has just cause of complaint fer the
treatment he has received. As a mat
ter of courtesy he should have been
officially informed by General Shafter
of the fall of Santiago and invited 20
be present, in person or by representa-
tive at the formal surrender.
There is something very pathetic in
this:
"A rumor too absurd to believe. gen
eral, ascribes the reason of your meas
ure and of your order forbidding my
army to go into Santiago for fear of
massacre and revenge against the
Spaniards. Allow me, sir, to protest
against the shadow of such an idea
We are not savages. ignoring the rules
of civilized war. We are a poor, rag
ged army, as ragged and as poor as
was the army of your forefathers, in
their noble war for independence. but
as did the heroes of Saratoga and
Yorktown, we respect too deeply our
cause to disgrace it with barbarism
and cowardice.''
Yes, these Cuban patriots are poor
and ragged, and so were many of the
patriots who fought under Washing
ton; it is the usual condition of those
who rise up to break the chains of
bondage and establish liberty. 1t may
be that the Cubans are over sensitive;
but the poor and the ragged are apt
to be. 61
Nothing could be more regrettable
than that the Cubans should become
estranged from the Americans, and
from regarding them as friends begin
to regard them as enemies and
usurpers. The hope and the wish of
the American people is to see the
Cubans free and happy, living under
a government of their own choosing.
A government that shall be as a little
sister to the great republic. Certainly
every effort should be made to con-
ciliate the Cubans and everything
avoided that tends to ALLEVIATE them.

DEWEY's CHINESE.

Probably no one would deny for
single moment that Admiral Dewey is
the most popular American of the day.
Were he to come home and was so
minded, he could make a triumphal
tour of the country, as the people would
be but too pleased to honor him.
He had in his fleet on that memoir
able May morning at Manila a number
of Chinese In his mail communication
to the navy department he speaks in
the highest terms of these Chinese,
saying they showed remarkable energy
and courage during the battle of Ma
Mia, and behaved in a most exemplary
manner. He is decidedly in favor of
recognizing these brave and useful
Chinese in such way as shall admit
them to the United States in case they
desire to enter them and become citi-
zens.
What say the people to Admiral
Dewey's proposition? Can the people
refuse him this favor if he asks it in
behalf of the Chinese who served him
so well and faithfully at Manila? To
comply with such a request it would
be necessary to have a special law
passed by congress- If the country
can annex tens of thousands of Ha-
waiians and seriously consider whether
or not eight millions of Fiiipinos shall
be permanently attached to the United
States, to admit to citizenship a score
or two of Chinese. who had served the
government faithfully and courageous
ly in the hour of battle, would not be a
menace to American institutions by
any means. What shall be done with
Dewey's Chinese?

NoN-PARTIsANIsM A MASK.

Elsewhere in this mornings Herald
win be found communication calling
attention to the evident desire of mon
partisans" to avoid publicity in the
CITY bond transaction now in progress.
The action of the partisan"
members of the city council in this
connection has been significant all
along. 1t has justified the charge made
by Democrats last fall that the mon
partisan movement was goldbug ar
rangement in disguise, into which
few Democrats and silver Republicans
were inveigled, and by which hundreds
of voters were deceived.
The vote in the council meeting told
the tale Every Democrat stood for
lawful money" except Morris, whose
desertion of the party that elected him
and the reasons therefor have been
given to the public before.
Every 'non-partisan'' voted with the
Republicans to make the city bonds
payable only in GOLD.
The issue was clearly defined and it
was voted upon at a meeting called
expressly for that purpose by the
mayor.
The partisan" mask has been
thrown off. and the goldbug stand re-
vealed. 1t was a confidence game that
the money-lenders of Salt Lake played
on the people last fall. Voters who
supported the political bunco steerers
have just discovered the sawdust in
their satchels.
The -partisans" are opposed to
advertising for bids on the bonds. Pub
Lefty is not sought by the party of
the bankers.
And it is we'll to note that those
members of the council who still cling
to the name Republican" while pro-
Tossing loyalty to silver, stood with
their mon partisan colleagues for
goid-demanding bonds. One of them
excused his vote by saying that there
is not sufficient time before Sept. l TO
make the deal, if the lawful money
champions failed in their plans, to eff
feet the refunding and at the same
time preserve the city's financial
credit
Then why was not an effort made by
Mr.. Diehl or some other champion of
gold bonds TO have the matter taken UP
some time ago that ample opportunity
for the negotiation would be afforded?
That explanation is very gauzy. If
there is anything in it at all, it would
seem to indicate that the matter had
been purposely postponed until such
an excuse were available. If it doesn't
show this, ii shows nothing.
The people of Salt Lake elected the
council to look after the welfare of the
city rather than the interests of the
moneylenders. 1t is the duty of coun-
cilmen to make every effort to secure
the very best terms for the city in
every transaction. Until men try to
sell the lawful money bonds they are
not justified in making the assertion
that such bonds cannot be sold They
are duty bound to make an effort. at
least, to secure as good terms for the
future as the city has had in the
past.

FUSION A GRAND M1sTAKE.

In the nature Of things it will not be
very long before the people of the state
will be taking lively interest in local
political matters. While there has been
much talk throughout the country
about colonial and anti-colonial poll
cies, thus far the war has produced
no political issue, no matter what it
may do in the future. This being SO,
the issues are what they were, the
financial question being in the ascend
ency.
The Democrats of Utah stand in 1898
where they did in 1S96-on the Chicago
platform; and now, as then, the silver
question is the paramount issue. Sill
yer being the paramount issue an eff
fort has been made by so-ealled friends
of silver in various parties fayoring
free coinage to drop all other issues and
fuse'on that one. Whatever the mer-
it's of the scheme, it is a noteworthy
fact that it not merely contemplates a
union of silver forces on the silver is
sue, but it centemplates a union of
the silver forces in favor of particu-
lar set of candidates, the interests of
the candidates being looked after quite
as much as those of silver.
This fusion scheme had a trial in
Oregon. The result was anything but
favorable to silver, while to the Demo-
cratic party it appears to have been
positively disastrous. a gentleman who
was recently in Washington tells us
that while there he had a conversation
with leading Democratic senator, one
of the foremost silver men in the coun-
try, and one of the most ardent advo-
Gates of fusion, he having been engaged
in a fusion propaganda. This Demo-
cratic senator. who had devoted time
and means to working up fusion SEN
timent in the Democratic party. said
he had become convinced that fusion
was a mistake. He said he had received
a letter from a prominent Democrat of
Oregon, in which it was stated that
the result of fusion on the Democratic
party had been to almost destroy it,
and that it would take long years to
build it up to what it was before it had
imbibed the poison Of fusion.
If such is the result of fusion in Ore
gon, is there any reason in the world
to believe that it would be less disas-
trous on the Democratic party in Utah?
In fact, would it not be even more dis
astrous? And what good would come
TO silver? None in the world; only
harm, for the hope for silver is in the
Democratic party.
If fusion was a mistake in Oregon
it would be a crime in Utah.

When Mr.. Hearst of the New York
Journal telegraphed his paper that the
Cubans had decapitated Spanish pris-
oners. he was hooted and yelled at, de-
nounced and derided by all who do not
like him or his paper or are jealous
of him and his paper. But his story is
being confirmed. Thus Mr.. w. E. Cur
tbs, the Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Record. writes his paper
as follows:
The startling charges made by Mr..
Hearst of the New York Journal
about the murder of Spanish prisoners
by the Cuban soldiers in front of San
tiago are confirmed by officers who
have reached Washington during the
last two days. They are reluctant to
discuss the subject, and justify the bar
barous act on the ground that the vic
tins were not members of the regular
Spanish force, but independent guer-
illas, who had themselves violated the
laws of war and were guilty of the
slaughter of the wounded. 1t is claimed
large numbers of guerillas found shell
ter in the trees along the road from the
trenches to the sea, and were in the
habit of firing upon Red Cross parties
and others who were taking the wound
ca from tne Dattieneld, ana also upon
surgeons who were actually engaged in
administering relief to the wounded of
both sides. Several have been captured,
and in almost every instance have been
turned over to the Cubans for punish
ment. Some of them have been tor
tured. and it is believed that all have
been beheaded as a warning to others.
Officers who have returned to Santiago
say the Cuban allies treat ordinary
Spanish soldiers who have deserted or
have been captured, with great consld-
GRAFTON, have fraternized with them,
and furnished them food, and in some
cases deserters and prisoners have
taken up arms in the Cuban ranks,
but for guerillas and Spanish volun-
teers they have no mercy

Skaters denial is referred TO. and ex-
plain that he knows nothing whatever
about the matter: that the capture of
Spanish guerillas is never reported,
and that when one is found he is
hustled into the Cuban lines as rapidly
as possible.
Men who will fire on the Red Cross
flag and wantonIy shoot wounded SOL
disrs deserve no better fate than over
took these same Spanish guerillas.
