Gomez Furnishes Him for His InsOlence
to Gen. Shafter.

The New YORK Herald has special des-
patch from Santiago which says Gen. Gar
cha has been relieved of his command by
Gen. Gomez, acting under instructions
from the provisional government
This is owing to disappruval Of his &C
tion during the Shafter incident aud in
view that Garcia is persona non grata to
the American government
At the commencement Of the war the
Cuban officers were ordered to put them
selves under the orders of the American
commanders, and the letter Of Garcia to
Shafter is looked upon as breach Of dis
cipline
His resignation is not accepted but he
is relieved Of his command. Gen Rodri-
guez, commanding in the east under Go
mez, will succeed him.

| could tell the Company | boys several
funny stories about our ways Of living here,
but fear the consequences. They would
desert in a body and stow away on boats
TO reach this land of plenty (?)
1t will be grand sight 10 see these
veterans with a bronze medal, made from
captured cannon, go marching along
through the streets when they return, anu
you will all envy us because you did not
go to the front. But just stop a moment
and think OF the dead that are lying on
these Cuban hillsides, placed there by
their comrades; some taken off by bullets,
but many by disease. We, like you,
thought We were undergoing great hard
ships there in camp, but We now see We
were well off.
Fevers may come upon you, but you
have cot beds, pillows, and best of all,
chance TO get letters and papers from

the other things that We are deprived of.

home and friends.
Then, too, you can get medicines for
disease, in case of emergency, but here
Well, we are good way from civilization,
and much "red tape" has to be reeled of
before getting anything. When you see
the men return from here, and, in after
years, see them wasted away and disabled
by the terrible hardships and diseases of
this climate, which they have had, then
you will see where you were lucky in not
being ordered away to the front. Not but
that fighting is all right, and | would like
TO get into lines again, and am sorry the
Vermont boys did not get chance. 1t is
the long delay in removing us from this
death-trap, after we came out victorious,
that is telling on the men, an ! that, too,
is why l think you are we'll off. You
showed your willingness to go, and that
should be good enough for the American
people.
Several of our captains and lieutenants
are either very sick or on the way to the
dear old States.
The Rough Riders are to leave for home
today am told, and they are to be fol-
lowed by the regiments of volunteer in

then we are lucky in one sense. Our

Second Massachusetts, had lost as many as
six men in one day. There were four days
