GEN. GARClA'S GRIEVANCE
Gen. Shafter Defends Himself to the Sec
retary Of War.
Had Invited the Cuban to Enter
Santiago With Him, but Invita-
ton Was Declined.

The following message was received by
the Secretary of War this afternoon:
SANTIAGO DE CUBA. July %, 1898
r. Alger, Secretary of War, Washington,
d. c.:
Have the Sun of Saturday, July %, in
which comments are made as to my treat
ment Of General Gareia l desire to say
that General Garcia was invited by me per-
sonally to go into the city of Santiago at
the time l entered it, but he declined upon
the ground that the Spanish civil officers
were left in power; 1t was fully explained
to him that those officials were continued
them for others. - ,.-sA. -. .s...,..
General Garcias assistance to me has
been purely voluntary on his part and he
was told at the beginning that did not ex-
ercise any control over Nim except such
as he chose to give.
The trouble with General Garcia was that
he expected to be placed in command at
this place; in other words, that we would
turn the city over to him. 1 explained to
him fully that We were at war with Spain
and that the question OF Cuban independ-
ence could not be considered by me.
Another grievance was that, finding that
several thousand men had marched in with
out opposition from General Garcia, l ex-
tended my own lines in front of him and
closed the gap, as T saw that l had to de-
pend on my own men for any effective in
vestment of the place. SHAFTER,
Major General.

HANNA'S PEACE VIEWS.
He IL Not Sure but Tint Americ
should Keep the PhfIfupfnes


should Keep the Philippines.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
CLEVELAND, Ohio, July Ex-senator
Hanna does not agree with the admins
tration on the subject of the disposition
OF the Philippines. and is Inclined to think
America should keep the islands. In an
Interview this morning he said:
we certainly want substantial foot
ing III the East Indies, and I am not sure
but that We should retain them altogether
The people are in favor Of retention of
these possessions and conditions confront
US today which we never faced before
Our policy Of fifty years ago should not
be our policy today.
The interests Of this country alone
should be consulted. The tremendous ad-
vantages of trade which will accrue to this
country by keeping the islands is apparent
to ALL While l believe that peace is now
in sight, by reason of the developments of
the past few days, 1 think, in settling the
terms, we should make our demands sub
stantial. The sentiment throughout the
country of keeping the islands is over
whelming. l am very glad we have Sc
cured a footing in Porto Rico and of
course, we must annex this island. The
problem of the fate of Cuba, l think, will
work itself out in time"
The senator expects to be off on his va
cation up the lakes next week.

pleased with the showing.

Startling Information Cab1ed by Ad-
mfra1 Dewey.
A dispatch received from Admiral Dewey
announces that Aguinaldo has assumed a
bold attitude of defiance, and that it would
take a large force from this country to
subdue the insurgents.
Effect Of the News.
While the cabinet was in session a sig
nificant cablegram was received from Ad-
miral Dewey. The dispatch, which has not
been made public save in its important
feature, largely guided the cabinet in its
disposition Of the Philippine problem.
Without H1incing his words, Admiral
Dewey announced that Aguinaido had as
sumed a bold attitude of defiance, and
that there were strong indications that the
Philippine insurgents themselves would
have to be fought. Based on his depletion
OF the gravity of the situation there it
would take 10000 soldiers from this coun-
try to cope with the insurgents through
out all the islands.
The deferment of final disposition of the
Philippine problem was based on substan-
TALLY the following grounds:
First-That the United States has no sat-
isfactory knowledge of existing conditions
there.
second-Nothing is known of what obhga-
tions were incurred as between the United
States forces and the Philippine insurgents
Third-The present attitude of the in
surgents is unknown.
Fourth-The extent to which Aguinaldo
controls the islands of the Philippine group
is unknown.
Fifth-Incident to the foregoing, it is not
known what would have to be done by this
government in subjugating the insurgent
forces, the Spanish and the natives
