SAN FRANCISCO, July 21. - The

There have been furnished about lOO
officers and men from the naval militia

and promptly and the State stands
ready and anxious to furnish the United
States Government several additional

GARCIA DISGUSTED.
VIII Not Cooperate With Shafter
Any Longer.

NEW YORK, July PA Santiago
special to the Journal" dated July
20th, says that General Garcia has
written letter to General Shafter de-
claring that he is disgusted with his
treatment at the hands of the Ameri-
cans and will, therefore, withdraw his
forces to the hills.
Among the things Of which General
Garcia complains is the failure of the
American commander to officially noti-
fy him of the surrender of the Spanish
force under General Toral, and he is
also incensed at the alleged fact that
he was not invited to be present at the
ceremony attending the formal capitu-
lation of Santiago.
Another grievance is the retention Of
the Spanish civil authorities in the ad-
ministration of their functions in San
tiago
For these Garcia declares he will no
longer cooperate with the forces under
General Skaters command, but will
act Independently as he did before the
American troops landed in Cuba.

British Blockade Runner Cap
tured.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 20 (via
Kingston, Jamaica, July 21st, 1915 a.
m.).-General Shafter has opened a
cable Office here and is in communi-
cation with Washington regarding the
disposition of the Fifth Army Corps,
which consists of those troops which
came with him from Tampa and the
1einforcementS from the four transports
which have since been unlOaded.
Except the Thirty-third and part of
the Thirty-fourth Michigan. none of
the latter have been in action but all
are camped in the same place, and so
far as health considerations go, Cen
eral McKibben seems to have held the
opinion that the Fifth Corps could join
the Porto Rico expedition under Gem
eral Miles as soon as Santiago Should
fall. This was the evident intention
when the invasion army left the United
States, but the condition of the men
now, according to the physicians and
commanding officers, is such that the
entire corps should return north at
once. General Miles has cabled that
he does not need and does not want q
single man among them and he be-
lieves that after their hard campaign
they should be given a rest of at least
two or three weeks. General Skaters
messages to the same effect have been
most urgent and the doctors say the
men should be given rest of at least
two or three weeks.
The doctors say the men should be
sent into camp in the mountains OF
North Carolina or Western Maine for g.
month. Washington agrees to this and
will do everything possible, the cable
DISPATCHES say, to carry the army
away from here. But there is a lack
of transports. In addition to the Porto
Rico troops, which will require forty
steamers for their conveyance. the au-
thorities here are still counting upon
having to- convey the 22,DOO Spanish
prisoners to Cadiz. The latter want to
go as soon as possible, and it appears
from here that our Government cannot
get sufficient vessels, and this fact holds
the Fifth Corps here, doing nothing.
The men are anxious to get away.
The cavalry division has been sent
into the mountains at its own request
to see if it cannot get into shape to
join General Miles and if no fever de-
velops the men may go to San Juan
de Porto Rico.
The Twenty fourth Infantry is act
ing as guards and as nurses at the
hospital at Juragua, and more of them
are needed The cOlored troops are
all likely to remain here to attend the
sick and hold Santiago.
General Shafter has cabled to Wash
ington that it is imperatively neces-
sary that he should have more i'm
munes sent to him quickly, and the
probability is that a corps will leave
within the next ten days.
All our men are now encamped on
the fighting line, where they have been
for two weeks, except General Wheel
er's men, who have been sent to the
hills General Wheeler is still i'll. but
he resists the pleas Of his friends to
return to the United States.

1:30 the Wilmington and Helena en-
tered the channel toward the city, the
Scorpion and Osceola the mid-channel
and the Hist, Hornet and Wampatuck
the south channel, the movements of
the vessels being so timed as TO bring
them within effective range of the ship
ping at about the same moment.
At $50 fire was opened on the ship
ping and after a deliberate fire, last
ing about two and one half hours three
Spanish transports, FL Gloria, Jose
Garcia and La Puriciama Conception,
were burned and destroyed. The Pom
toon, which was the harbor guard and
storeship probably for ammunition,
was burned and blown up. Three gun
boats were destroyed One other was
driven ashore and sunk and a third
was driven ashore and is believed to
have been disabled
No casualties occurred on board any
of our vessels. Great care was taken in
directing the fire, that as little damage
as possible should be done to the city
itself. and SO far as could be observed

Porto Ricans Would Not Resist the
Invasion of the Americans.

NEW YORK, July 22.-Senor P de
Castro. one Of the prominent members
of the Porto Rican Junta of this city,
when asked as to the attitude Of the
Junta, said:
When the Junta was organized we
We're pledged to secure the independence
of the island. That was more than two
years ago. Such thing as annexation
was not discussed, because Spain was
not at war with America. At a meet
ing on July 18th we decided to assist
the United States unconditionally The
majority of us are in favor Of annexa-
ton. Any talk of the revolutionary
arty of Porto Rico resisting the inva-
sion of the Americans is nonsense. /
was at the meeting held July 18th in
this city, and never heard such a
threat
Il have grave doubts of our ability
to make republic of Porto Rico, mean
ing as it does, an internal strife; but
annexation would be successful The
majority Of hUrto Ricans in this coun-
try are heartily in favor of it. There
are some few against annexation but
none who would counsel resistance to it
by force of arms"
