at the Office Of the Cuban junta to-day. the
following statement was given cut by Vice
President Capote of the Cuban republic.
Il have not received any official infor-
nation concerning the misunderstanding
between Gen. Garcia and Gen shaftor. III

We fully apG eciaie the great ana gener-

Il am absolutely convinced, ana | can
state with authority that the objects Of
the American administration are Identical
with those proclaimed by US. This inten-

our documents, and more especially IN
the proclamation of President Masso, dat

have carefully examined the documents
and in view of my conviction as TO the
object of The American administration,
Comprehend that this Proclamation fairly
states the position which the United States
will assume IN Cuba, and believe il to be
very reasonable end practicable. AS the
proclamation states that all the political
relations of the Inhabitants in Cuba have
ceased, it follows that all fuuctionaries
and institutions representing Spain have
also passed away.
The President has been very careful to
state that the native consta bulary and
judges shall continue exercising their func-
tons, but 1t is only natural 10 suppose
that when the military governor huds

Spanish crown and not by the municipality

their stead.
