SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Oct. 17.-General
Calixto Garcia desires to contradict the
statement made by several newspapers
that he is receiving pay from the United
States government for his assistance in
disbanding the Cuban troops. He de-
clares that he is a patriot and is not in
need of money. General Garcia has
had a long interview with General
Wood before departing for Santa Cruz.
He told General Wood that it was inn
portant for him to be there in order to
frustrate the attempt to overthrow the
supremacy of those who have fought
for Cuban liberty and to put in their
places foreigners and immigrants.

THE CATTLE INDUSTRY.

In the past four years, says the Salt Lake Tribune, the cattle of the United States have decreased 7,29S,000. An eastern journal thinks that this has been due to the fact that ''as the far west fills up, the land can be put to better use than as cattle range"
 That is not the reason. Cattlemen have made no money for years up to last year. They kept holding on, hoping for relief, but it did not come, and finally when cattle by the thou sands were driven in from Mexico, and when the excess enabled the big buy CTS in Omaha, Kansas City and Chi cago to dictate the prices absolutely many a man who had been a great stockholder unloaded his herd at what he could and went out of the business
 This was not confined to the com mon cattle of the country. Many a man who had carefully selected and bred choice stock sent the whole to the shambles for whatever they would bring. This has caused, with this years demand, very heavy prices for poor Shorthorn and Hereford stock wanted for breeding purposes.
 A sale of 125 Herefords in Missouri the other day averaged more than $500 per head, and ten animals brought $9,990. Instead of land becoming more valuable for some other purposes than stock raising, there is more and more land being devoted to it in the great states of Missouri, Kansas, Ne braska and Iowa. Another reason why cattle have advanced is because of the immense foreign orders for the fleets of Russia, Great Britain and other na- tions which have been received and the demand for canned meats from South Africa, because of the thinning out of the herds there through the rinderpest.
 Of course, too, the demand for food because of famines and short crops abroad has naturally increased the de mand for meat as we'll as bread, and the fact that farmers received fair price for their wheat last year caused a vastly increased consumption among the five million families that live on the farms of the United States Stock raising is one of the very great indus tries of this country, and will continue to increase in importance as popula- tion increases.

SPANISH MARKSMANSHIP.

eff the American navy were not 1n it's present condition immeasurably su- perior to the Spanish navy in numbers, tonnage and character, even then nc doubt exists that victory is assured. With their ships outnumbered two to one. the American officers and crews could still win in any battle that oc- CUTS. The American gunners are still up to their fame as marksmen, and the Spanish gunners are so ill trained that can quote countless instances where Spanish men-of-war fired from twenty to sixty shots at Q large object on the Cuban coast and failed to touch it. On the coast of Camaguay, three months ago, the cruiser Reina Mercedes was lying outside at distance of two miles and horse was grazing very close to the shore. The Reina Mercedes fired sixty shells at that horse, just to give her gunners practice and the horse a little exercise. The gunners got the practice, but the horse was not even in terested The indifferent animal went on eating, and the only sign of activity it gave was to switch off some flies with his tail. I've always felt sorry for the vanity of these gunners.
 Discipline and skill of crews on the American ships are proverbial. With Spanish sailors things are different. l have had many Spanish Ean-of-wars- men under me on recent pleasure trips I took to Cuba in order to renew my acquaintance with Gems. Gomez, Diaz and others, who really could not get along without me. These Spanish sai- lors were no doubt good enough stok- CTS, but they could not row boat in a teapot.
 "The world will be surprised at the ease with which Spain's navy will be dispersed that is, if Spain consents to fight at all. My opinion all along has been that at the last moment Spain will concede everything. That opinion has not changed one jot. ot."-Interview with Gen. Nunez.

DUTY ON CATTLE.

The Missouri, Kansas and Texas cattle raisers have again made efforts to get the duties on Mexican cattle raised to S10 per head on all over one year old, this being the figure pro posed originally by the ways and means committee, which would have the effect of shutting out all Mexican cattle over that age.
 As the government will increase the duties to meet war expenses, cattle will undoubtedly be one of the first items to be raised. The original proposition to charge SIG on all cattle over one year was defeated by very efficient work in the senate, and to MT. Max Weber is largely due the credit.
 The defeat of this proposition and the low duties placed has benefited the Mexican cattle raisers many hundred thousands of dollars, creating a great prosperity in this line and at the same time benefiting a good many frontier cattle dealers who have made large sums of money in this business, and the Mexican cattle raisers would have no markets for their cattle.
 It is, therefore, of the utmost inn portance that this matter be looked after and that these interested get to- gether and see what can be done to prevent the sudden and unfavorable changes. Formerly Mexican cattle were worth only about S15 in Mexican money each, but since they have been admitted to the United States with duties of practically s3.5O American money per head, they have advanced in price to s30 Mexican money. If in stead of s3.50 the duties should be raised to s10, Mexican three-year-old steers would again go down to about $15. The favorable duty conditions benefit our railroads and the Mexican
