 During the conversation with the newspaperman it was remarked by one of them that he (Hobson) had pretty lively time in getting through the dense crowd to his carriage.
 The lieutenant smiled and said: My old football practice stands by me these times. There is nothing like a good ath- letic training; it fits man for many things.
 "I announced my conviction to the department, and the Government be- came convinced that the Colon and the Maria Teresa could be raised. They will become valuable additions to our navy. Both ships are the best types of their class, and with Americans behind the guns they would make marvellous showing.
 "The wrecking company will push the work as rapidly as they can. You must understand that it will be no easy mat ter. Pontoons cannot work in rough water, and the hurricane season Is at hand.
 Well, I shall go south in few days, but not on the wrecking boats nor on the St. Paul After my visit to Boston my movements will be uncertain. When I arrive at Santiago I shall stay by the Colon for a while to get the wreckins company at work, and then if there is an opportunity for work with the fleet I shall apply to be put aboard"

GUANTANAMO BAY, Santiago. July 26.-The Vixen and the Suwanee returned to Santiago yesterday morn- ing conveying the prize ships brought here for disinfection. The main body of the fleet is here coaling and clean ing as well as the facilities Z the bay permit. The Texas will leave for New York shortly, in order to undergo re- pairs.
 The movements of the other ships un- der Rear Admiral Sampson's command. except those engaeed in the orto Rico expedition, depend upon the decisions of the authorities at Washington, and the impression is growing among the naval officers of high rank in these waters that it is not advisable to send a fleet to Spain without previously en- abling the ships to under~o thorough preparation, including going into dry do.k in several cases.
 The list of vessels in Guantanamo Bay includes the New York, Brooklyn, Iowa, Indiana, Oregon, Marblehead. Detroit, Newark, Yankee, Yankton' Hornet, Ericsson. Rogers, Wampatuck, Samoset, Vesuvius, Celtic, Vulcan, AL Varado, five collierS and one transport.
 A bulletin just issued In regard to the investigation of the navys lombard ment of Santiago de Cuba says:
 Twelve houses were completely wrecked inside and one house was burned. Sixteen eight-inch shells struck within three blocks on the Gale de Marien. These excavated the ground to depth of about four feet and about ten feet lengthwise. The street was macadamized. It is judged from the fact that many of them struck near the waters edge that a number of shells must have gone into the bay. Army officers have stated that thirty or forty | went beyond the northern edge of the bay into the Spanish lines
 "A dozen or more of the shells had not exploded. In four of them the base l had been simply blown out In one case a four-inch shell which was prob. ably stray fired during the demon stration at Aguadores on July 1, ha6 gone through a tree and exploded ir the ground beyond
 When the severe effect of the eight inch shells is considered, it is matter of congratulation that it was not neces. sary to continue the bombardment 1 longer and fire thirteen-inch shells, as | the squadron had prepared to do. The effect of these latter would undoubtedly have been of most disastrous charac. ter to the town.
 'The board has completed its investi- gation and will make a detailed repor | later"

culty will be met The people of Santi- ago are quiet and orderly and they seem delighted that the campaign is over. They have been cooped up so long that whatever regret they may feel is overbalanced by the compensa- tion of peace. In the country many of the Spanish troops have gone to work while here in Santiago, as you can see for yourself, business has been resum- ed. Food is coming in more literally and in another week there should be plenty for all. The health of the city Is much better than I had anticipated, yet there is a great deal of sickness and constant care will be required to prevent the spread of disease in the army. Our troops have withstood the great ravages of fever and the great discomforts of the heavy rains. They are remarkably well. The sanitary re- forms which are now being instituted will, l think, improve the health of the community in general.
 ''AS to the political situation, have little to add to what already Is known. I regret that General Garcia should feel offended because he was not per mitted to be a signatory party to the Spanish surrender. In letter to him, written in reply to his protests, I made 1t plain that the ceremony of surrender and retention of Spanish municipal of ficers and tariff duties must be treated as temporary measures, quite apart from the final purpose of the United States in Cuba. I told General Garcia that we were at war with Spain; that we would be held responsible before the world for the treatment of the sur rendered territory, and pending con- clusion of the war the Cubans could not reasonably expect the recognition

Do not let the thing occur again. You're a presuming rascal"
 Senor Ros returned shortly afterward with the resignations of the high court justice, consisting of the president, four magistrates, three attorney generals that as loyal subjects of the King of Spain they could not perform their functions under the authority of an enemy of Spain and could not take an oath acknowledging the supremacy of the United States.
 General Shafter was exceedingly in- dignant when he saw the resignations were directed to the civil governor through whom the court usually trans acts it's business. General Shafter strongly objected to such course and said the resignations should be made to him direct, as Senor Ros had nothing whatever to do with the matter. The court is closed until new appointments are made.
 Senor Ros says he will resign to- day. His dismissal of the Spanish off, cials had caused the Cubans to feel considerable elation. Since the off, cials have been reinstated the Cubans seem ripe for anything. A meeting was held last night at the San Carlos Club when it was resolved to send a com munication to President Mckinley pro- testing against the action of General Shafter
 Although General Garcia has with drawn into the interior, a few of the insurgents still finger near the city. General Demetrius Tillo, with Brebece and two hundred Cubans, is just out side the city walls, awaiting the action of the American administration when Spanish prisoners are deported. Gen. eral Castillo was appointed military governor of Santiago by General Gar cia, and declares he has the right to enter the city. Dr. Joaquin Castillo, brother of the general. who is in the city, said to me the Cubans were much disappointed and disgusted at the ac- ton of General Shafter prohibiting Gu ban troops from entering the city.
 we have" he said, carried on this war for three years. We have borne the tolls and hardships and brunt of the fight Now that it is partly won we are treated worse than the Spaniards, our common enemy. We see Spaniards parading the streets clad in the uni form of Spain and filling lucrative po- sitions, while our troops suffer hard ships and privations in the interior. We see men bitterly opposed both to Gu bans and Americans still retaining posts of honor under the pretense of preventing a cessation of the machin- cry of the civil government"

very strong effect upon President Me Kinley. The authorities were totally unaware, before this appeal was made, of existing conditions. It heretofore has been impossible to send supplies into such large cities as Cienfuegos, but President Mckinley, in case peace prop ositions do not prevail. will now direct that Cienfuegos be captured as soon as possible after the fall of San Juan.
 President Mckinley, I understood, this morning laid the proposition of capturing Cienfuegos before the Secre- taries or the Navy and War They were asked to carefully consider the advisability of taking the place.
 Of course, no move will be made against Cienfuegos or any other port on the Cuban coast until after the sur render of San Juan. The officials with whom I have talked are of the opinion that the navy would have little diff ficulty in forcing the authorities of Cienfuegos to surrender. The great diff ficulty would be the occupation of the city after it's capture. It would not be wise to send any troops not immunes to CienfuegoS until after the rainy sea- son has ended in Cuba.
 The proposition. as it now stands, Is to have the American navy force the surrender of Cienfuegos as soon as pos sible after the Porto Rican campaign. Food and other supplies could then be sent to Cienfuegos and distributed among the suffering people now in that city. It would not require a very large body of troops to garrison that city, and in all probability the Govern ment would order two of the immune regiments for such service.

which he sought. At the proper time added, the terms of the Presidents proclamation undoubtedly would be made good. The letter was personal and very friendly in tone, but General Garcia made no reply to it. The next news I heard of him was thAt he had withdrawn with his army to Holguin, near the north coast.
 The fact Is I did recognize General Garcia as far as I could by inviting him to be present at the surrender of Santiago as my guest. He declined to come, sending this message: I cannot be your guest under the Spanish flag.
 T have the most kindly feeling for General Garcia and sincerely regret that he has cause for complaint. It is idle, however to argue the point, for pathize with the Cubans, the proposf- ton to install them in power imme- diately after the surrender of the Span ish is untenable and lacks support among the Cubans themselves"
 The palace in which General Shafter is chartered Is large and roomy though somewhat antiquated building, facing the plaza General Shafter to-day in- spected the city on horseback being accompanied only by two members of his staff. He was we'll received along the route, but there were no cheers General Shafter is a strict discipline rian, and he is rapidly bringing several branches of the army into one cohe- sive body, capable of coping with any situation that may arise. The commits sariat is much improved.
 A railroad will be opened tomorrow and troops removed to Woodland Transports are unloading as rapidly as possible and are awaiting orders from Washington.

 SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 25 (via Playa del Este, July 26).-Major Gen. eral William R. Shafter, commander of the American forces in the campaign against Santiago, to-day gave me for the Herald an interesting interview on the situation here. General Shafter throws much light on his controversy with General Calixto Garcia, the Gu ban leader, and now makes public for the first time the fact that he and the Cuban general had some correspond ence about their differences prior to the open break between them.
 You may tell the Herald" said Gen eral Shafter when I called at the pal ace in which he Is now comfortably sit uated, that the situation in Santiago Is much improved. Twenty thousand Spanish soldiers in the province of San tiago have laid down their arms, leav- Ing less than 5000 to be accounted for. 1 hope all the Spanish army will have been accounted for by the end of the week, so that the work of loading troops on the transports will be over as soon as possible and the campaign in the province be brought to a close.
 Colonel Wood has been installed as military governor, with full power to act as circumstances may warrant. If occasion should arise, 1t would be a simple matter fer him to suspend oper- ation of the existing civil government and institute a military dictatorship. It is unlikely, however, that any diff1-

Special cable to The Call and the New York
 Herald. Copyrighted. 1898. by James dor-
 don Bennett.
 SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 26.- General Shafter and Senor Ros, Civil Governor of Santiago, have had a seri- ous clash over the Governors officious and unauthorized dismissal of Spanish officials. General Shafter undid the Governors work, sharply rebuked him, and finally called him 'presuming rascal"
 As a result of this heated interview Senor Ros announces that he will re- sign. The Cubans are highly indignant over General Shafter's action.
 Owing to the fact that censorship has been lifted, I am able to give the full details of this latest phase of the situ ation here. In fact, this is the first unscored dispatch to be sent from Santiago.
 Senor Ros, with the idea of trimming his sails to suit Cubans, who, he be- lieves, will eventually possess the city, had been making wholesale removals of Spanish officials and replacing them with Cubans of the extreme type. He had been carrying on these proceedings without the knowledge of General Shaf- ter. His policy was at variance with that of the commander of the Ameri- can forces, who desires to preserve or der in the city while he gradually insti- tutes a new government.
 Three members of the Institute of Justice-Senors Barraco, Villa and Riestra-called upon General Shafter yesterday afternoon and said that in view of President McKinley's guaran- tee that the rights of the Spanish resi- dents were to be protected they wished to protest against the high-handed manner in which the Civil Governor had removed Spaniards from office. They informed General Shafter that Senor Ros had sent communications to the Spanish officials whom he had dis missed, telling them that they had been removed upon the order of General Shafter. General Shafter immediately summoned the Governor before him.
 "Is it true" demanded General Shaf- ter, that you have dismissed these of ficials in my name?"
 ''Yes,' replied Senor Ros, they are Spaniards, and I understood that all such were to be removed"
 Your action, sir" said General Shaf- ter, was totally unauthorized. You've no right whatever to use my name. In any case, you should not have taken such step on your own responsibility.
