ferred to President Grover Cleveland
in 1895 and a decision was rendered in
favor of Italy. Since that date Italy

GARCIA WITHDRAWS.

THE AMERICANS.
The Cuban General Writes Letter to
Shafter Declaring His Disgust of
Treatment at the Hands of the
American Commander.

SANTIAGO, July 21.-Garcia has
written a letter to Shafter declaring
his disgust at his treatment at the
hands of the Americans and that he
will, consequently, withdraw his forces
TO the hills, being no longer willing to
submit to the indignities to which he
had been subjected. Among the things
of which Garcia complains is the fail
ure of Shafter to officially notify him
Of the surrender of Santiago. He
is also incensed at the fact that no in
vitation was sent him to the ceremony
of the formal surrender Another
grievance is the action of Shafter in
retaining the Spanish civil authorities
in the administration of their functions
at Santiago. Garcia declares, for
these reasons, he will no longer coop
crate with Skaters forces, but will
act independently, as'he did before the
advent of the Americans.

An old colored man, Il years old,
came to Wilkesboro last week for
marriage license. The Register of
Deeds issued them and asked for the
pay. The old darkey didn't have the
money, but said that as soon as he
got married his wife would pick black
berries and pay the bill. But the
Register decided to be on the safe side
and told the old man that the black
berries must be brought in before the
license could go. The poor old fellow
was greatly disappointed, but went
home and went to picking berries,

He says the property valuation for
taxes in Salem dropped off about

crease, however, in the First Ward oi
Winston to the amount of about SS7, >
