There was some theorizing again be-

The rise at Liverpool was variously

The Liverpool July was 90 cents

SANTIAGO, Aug. 20.-Gen. DemetriO
Castillo is coming from Bonito to San
tiago to cooperate with Gen. Lawton.
It is evident that the Cuban leaders
have arrived at better understanding
of the situation. Castillo and Lawton
are great friends, and it is believed
they will work tremendously to dis
band the Cuban army and establish
peace and good order.
Word comes from Cubass, the capi-
tai of the Cuban repu bile, that Presi-
dent Mssso with his cabinet and the
congress will move to some point in the
Santiago province, and that Garcia
and Gomez will be asked to resign in
order to hasten the mastering out of
the entire Cuban army as soon as the
Americans have garrisoned the is
land.
Castillo and Masso ars said to favor
the immediate annexation of Cuba to
the United States. The insure:ent SOL
diers say they are tired OF fighting and
want to go back to their farms. They
are willing to accept three years wages
at the rate of Sl2 month and call it
square. Some of their officers, like
some American officers, declare that
this is the best solution of the Cuban
problem.
Clara Barton will go to Havana on

Exactly at 11:30, when the flagship
came opposite the tomb of General
Grant, there was q puff of smoke and Q
heavy boom from one of the New
York's guns which echoed against the
walls of the tomb as if to emphazise
the words of the conqueror of Lee,
which are carved above the entrance
to the tomb: Let Us have peace.
The jackies on the flagship dressed

cheering. and il the sailors heard it in
the midst of the terrific dim made by
whistles and guns they had further
evidence that New York is proud of
the stout ship which bears its

The Iowa followed close after the
New York, and was soon adding its
noise to that of the flagship. After
her came the great Oregon, the Mas
sachusetts, Brooklyn, Indiana and
Texas. Each ship as she passed was
greeted with great cheering.
But the Texas, with her fat squstty
smokestacks, received the greatest ova-
