WASHINGTON. May 26.-secretary
Alger and General Miles conferred to-

OF General Garcia-Gencral Enrique COL

nandez who came direct from Garcla's
headquarters, bearing credentials from
him. to effect a plan of cooperation with

army on his return from Garcla's camp,
and shared with him the dangers OF the
two days voyage I'm an open boat from
the north coast of Cuba until picked up
by q small sloop which carried them To
Nassau.
GENERAL, CARCTAS CONDITION.
They reported first 20 the cuban dele-
cation here. and Secretary Quesada was
careful 10 keen their presence secret until
General Miles had made the fact known.
This relieved them from further secrecy.
and to-day General Collaso and Colonel
Hernandez gave an interesting account
of General Garclas forces and surround
ings and the general equipment or the
Cuban army.
Colonel Hernandez says Garcia has his
headquarters at Bayamo. one OF the
large towns I'm the central part OF the
island. IL was surrendered by the Span
ish forces a few weeks ago after Garcia
and his troops had maintained long
siege. In all about $3.50 men are quar-
tered there. They are well armed with
Remngtons and Mausers captured from
the spaniards Most OF them have ma
chetes. but only the officers carry other
small arms.
Tho cavalry have small horses much
like the Indian mustangs, hardy and re-
liable. Mules are used for pack purposes
Colonel Hernendez says that the COM
missary and quartermasters department
IS unknown In the sense used by the
army Of the United States. The COM
panies not fuzzy armed are organized as
"Predlos." The duty Of the predlos is to
bring meat. ample supplies being secured
from Puerto Principe and vegetables,
which are grown In the woods
TROOPS WELL FED.
The system works perfectly, Colonel
Hcrnendez says. and the troops are kept
well fed and I'm good spirits. There are
no dress parades and none Of the regu-
larlty OF the daily drill OF the United
states army The men make long daily
marches
The Cuban General says the arrival OF
Lieutenant Rowan aroused the greatest
enthusiasm throughout the Cuban camp.
There was no notice OF his coming. and
the hrst seen OF Lieutenant Rowan was
as Re galloped up Commercial street fol-
lowed by The Cuban guides who accom-
panied him from Florida. lie was warmly
greeted by General Garcia and tho two
held a fhrcc-hours' conference. ~ WIS de-

IN SPLENDID SHAPE.
The OREGON IS I'm first-class shape ana
ready for another cruise as long as l"e
one lust ended. The excellent conduct OF
the men during the voyage U.s. perhaps
owe, moro remarkable. There were no
c,ees of serious illness on board and the
men are as eager for immediate activity
as If they had just come from a vacation
i'm the mountains. The oregon picked up
the cruiser Marietta and the dynamite
cruiser Nictheroy between Rio Janerio
and Bahia. but she parted company VII"
them after % few hundred miles.
Captain Clarke said the crew OF the
OREGON had suffered much from the neat
,p passing twice through the tropics.
"An the way along he added we
were wondering where the Spaniards
were. and we never ascertained that fact
until we reached here
