Somewhat DiscurSWe.

When will the country know the
true inwardneSS of the trouble be
tween Shafter and Garcia! For
instance: Is it true that Shaftcr
made no communication in regard
to the surrender to a man whom
he had treated as an aliyg Ifthis
be so,no matter what the manifest
shortcomings of the Cuban man
and brother Gen Shafter was i'm
the wrong. We rather incline
however to the belief that Garcia
was notified, and that he went Off
in a huff because his army was
not allowed to sack the city of San
tiagO. The average Cuban would
endure TO be "gOod" for aw lille in
order to do a lot of burning and
killing at the end of his probation.
In this connection it is curious 70
note the absence of news from the
dominican patriot Gomez. He ev-
identity thinks that he has outlived
his usefulness, or else his pride
has been wounded by the appear
ance OF an army that knows how
to fight. And the poor Reconcen.
