GARCIA LET OUT.
General Gomez Relieves Him of
His Command.

New York. Aug. 31.-A special to the
Herald from Santiago says:
General Garcia has been relieved of
his command by General Gomez, acting
under instructions from the provisional
government
This is owing to disapproval of his
action during the Shafter incident and
in view that Garcia is persona non grata
to the American government At the
commencement of the war Cuban Off
GERS were ordered to put themselves
under orders of the American com
mander and the letter from Garcia to
Shafter is looked upon as breach of
discipline.
His resignation is not accepted but
he is relieved of his command. General
Rodriguez commanding in the east
under Gomez, will succeed him.

IN A SOLDIERS GRAVE.
Larned Honors the Memory of Cor
poral Payne Who Was Very
Popular

Larned, Aug. 31.-ProbabIy the most
pathetic, undoubtedly one of the largest
funerals ever seen in this city, was that
of Corporal Richard Elmer Payne of
Company B, Twenty-first Kansas vol

of Colonel T. G. Payne, was less than
20 years old, but was one OF the most
popular young men in the city. He
had been a member of Company F, K.
N. G., and upon the call for volunteers
to fight the Spaniards, promptly enlisted
and was mustered in at Topeka May
IA He died at Chickamauga last Fri
day. When the remains reached home
Sunday night, they were received by
large delegation of citizens, the mem
bers of B. F. Larned post G.. A R, and
by his former comrades of Company F,
K N. G.. The burial occurred Monday
from the Christian church. The fu-
neral cortege was headed by Prof.
Thompson's Military band, with the
veterans of Larned post. G.. A R.,
Company F, K. N. G., and a large num-
Der of citizens in line. The flags in
Dewey square, on all the public build
ings, and in many private yards, were
all the time floating at half mast The
hearse that bore the coffin was literally
a bed of flowers. while the casket was
draped with a large national flag All
the floral decorations were IN red, white
and blue.
