out his promises"
Senor Gonovar. who arrived on the
Seneca on Wednesday, acted as an in
terpreter under General Garcia at San
taiago. Before departing for his home
in ST Augustine he called at the junta
and spoke of the conditions at Santa
go when he left there. He said:
while 1t is true that there is bad
feeling on the part of the American
troops toward the Cuban soldiers, 1t is
due to a mistake. The mistake was In
taking pacificos for Cuban soldiers.
The regular Cuban troops were at the
extreme end of the army when the
Americans were working in trenches
where they had great difficulty in OBJ
tanning their food supply. While there
a party of pacificos passed them, COM
ing from the depot where provisions
were distributed. The Americans were
hungry and when they saw the Cubans
supplied with an abundance of food and
believing them to be Cuban soldiers.
they formed a bad opinion which has
grown into a prejudice"

GARCiA'S CONDUCT.
The Cuban Junta Asserts That Mistake
Was Made.

New York, July 22.-At the Cuban
junta's headquarters in New street Ho-
ratio Reubens said he could not discuss
General Garcia's actions intelligently,
because the reports were so conflicting.
"One dispatch tells U.S. said ne. that
General Garcia declined to attend the
ceremonies at the surrender of Santiago
and another that he is indignant be-
cause he was not invited TO be present
aa these ceremonies. The members Of
the junta cannota express an opinion

Garcia, or until General Shafter makes

McKibben, on the sick List, Returns to
His Old Duty.

His Old Duty.
Playa del Este, Santiago de Cuba.
July 21.-General Wood of the rough
riders was appointed military governor
of Santiago de Cuba yesterday, succeed
ing General McKibben. who returns to
his old duty. and who is on the sick list.
Squads of natives were sent to-day to
clean the streets and bury the dogs and
horses whose remains have been lying
in the streets for days and weeks. Other
steps to improve the sanitary condition
of the city are being taken.
The French cruiser Rigault de Genou-
lily arrived this afternoon with supplies
for the relief of French citizens of san
tiago. A large exodus of Cubans is ex-
pected in the rext few days, as they are
returning to the cultivation of the coun-
try, that work being the chief source or
wealth of the island.
The greater part of Garcia's army
leaves here at daybreak tomorrow.
The Danish steamer Bratton arrived
this morning with cargo of provisions.
Notwithstanding General Garcia's bit
ter complaint, he is going on with prep
arations for the contest with the Span
ish forces at Holguin and Manzanillo
quite as though nothing had happened.
Tomorrow General Garcia will issue a
decree authorizing all Cubans who have
been driven from their plantations and
| country homes by Spanlards and yho
| have taken refuge for safety in the cities
and towns to return TO the country and
| go to work, assuring them of protec-
| tion by his forces. Altogether 1t must
be confessed General Garcia's attitude
is inexplicable.

BLANCO'S PROCLAMATION.
Fall of Santiago Will Have No Effect on
the War.

Havana, July 22.-Captain General
Blanco has issued a proclamation an
nouncing the capitulation of Santiago.
1t is dated Havana. July II. 1t states:
After three months of heroic defense
and many bloody combats, owing to the
scarcity of ammunition and victuals, the
garrison of Santiago de Cuba has been
forced TO captulate under honorable
conditions and with the honors of war
This occurred the 10th Of July, when it
was recognized by the brave Spanish
general of the division, who was acting
commander of the place, that resistance
was useless and that he could no longer
hold the place.
"The occupation of the city of San
tiago by the military forces of the Amer
leans is lacking in strategic Importance,
owing to the fact that the city had pre-
viously been closely blockaded for a
long time by American ships, and will
have little or no effect on the develop
ment of the Spanish campaign which is
to decide Spain's fate The Spanish
army is intact and eager for glory. II

Americans"

confirms the latter'S statement as TO
the manufacture of mines for Spain.
Gibbons, who is a former sergeant of
engineers and a government inspector
of torpedoes, believes the Maine eX-
ploSiOn was caused by what is techni-
cally called a ground mine, containing
500 pounds of gun cotton, several of
which were manufactured for Spain.
He has experimental with these mines
largely at Portsmouth, and says that,
once laid, they retain their properties
for fifty years. In addition, Gibbons
asserts that it is absolutely impossible
for them to explode accidently, as the
electric currents for their explosion are
formed only by the manipulation of a
complicated key Hoard especially devils

are necessary, which are always kept

Of them, it would be impossible to ma
