UNwARRANTED REPORT DENIED

General Shafter Says Garcia Did Not

Santiago jail.
Santiago de Cuba. July 26.-Every-
thing here is peaceful. The 1000 Span
ish soldiers at Guantanamo lay down
their arms yesterday. The $3.50 from
Palma Soriano, San Luis and Longo
surrendered on Sunday to Lieutenant
Miley, and yesterday pack trains with
provisions were sent them. The only
others included In the capitulation are
2.o0> troops at Baracoa and 1000 at
Sagua. They have not yet been turned
over. but they are nowhere In General
Garcia's vicinity. He Is at Jiguany, and
reached there without encountering
any Spaniards. General Shafter au-
thorizes an absolute contradiction of
the report that Garcia encountered q
force Of Spaniards who were returning
to Santiago to surrender and was de-
feated by them. Colonel Ezra p. Ewers,
OF the Ninth infantry. acting for Gen.

On Sunday General Shafter released
10 Cubans who had been confined In
the local Jail on political charges. In
deed. some Of them were confined with
out charges of any character, others
on the most trivial pretexts and yet
others solely because of sympathy with
the insurgent cause. The jail Is still
hlled with many whose crimes and SEN
tences are not on record and are alb
solutely unknown. so far as has yet
been ascertained. A general investiga-
ton has been ordered Immediately.
American newspapers which have ar
rived here contain articles written ap
parently under a Misrepresentation of
the facts regarding the conduct Of the
campaign and the dictation Of the
terms OF surrender. General Miles was
here simply as visitor and adviser.
In his official capacity he had nothing
to do with the terms OF the capitula-
tion. the entire credit for which be-
longs 70 General Shafter, who on July

EX.JUDGE GRINNELL DEAD.

Criminal Cases I'm Chicago.


Chicago, June Eek Judge julius s.

failure is supposed to be the cause.
His career as states attorney was so
closely interviewer with the history OF
Chicago that 1t has become part and
parcel thereof Some Of the most i'm
portant criminal cases ever tried in the
county were prosecuted by him. The
famous anarchist case was a fitting
climax to a singularly brilliant career;
a career, indeed, that marks Judge
Grinnell as the ablest and most fear
less man that ever held that important
office. Among the celebrated cases that
were prosecuted by him were the j. c.
Mackin ballot box investigation, which
resulted in conviction: the three Third
ward ballot box thieves. which also re-
suited In the conviction of one offender,
the other two having made their es-
cane: the Italian trunk murder case,
result, four convictions and executions;
the Mulkowski murder case, the con-
viction and execution; the McGarigle
and Mcdonald Doodle cases and the om-
ADus Doodle case. Mcdonald and Nc
Garigle were convicted. McGarigle ran
away-the famous Matson bathtub cpl
sode-and Mcdonald secured a new trial
from the supreme court.

WILL MOVE ON PORTO RICO.
Another Military Expedition VIII Proba-
bly, Leave Next Week.

Washington, June 9.-There is no
longer any pretense at the war depart
ment that the Santiago expedition is
not afloat, or that it is not TO reach
it's destination speedily. The lnforma-
tion has been circulated quite freely
that forces have been shipped TO Tampa
and more are to follow and that they
are bound to Santiago de Cuba and in
tended to cooperate with Admiral
Sampson to effect the capture Of that
city, with its garrison and the shipping,
including the fleet of Admiral Cervera
in the harbor.
From all that can be ascertained at
the war department the land forces are
to be directed by General Shafter, who
will have not less than 20 900 men, most
ly regulars, with which TO strike the
blow contemplated. 1t was plainly said
by cabinet officer after the meeting at
noon that the postponement of the ex-
petition, which had not been great, WAS
altogether attributable to the siege
guns that are to be taken along and to
unexpected delay in unloading the cars
at Tampa.
While the expedition to Santiago is
oll ITO way dIolitt lbi " W ANlNb 10 "
he made ready and shipped. Just how
soon after the Santiago movement this
expedition is to leave is not announced.
but in carrying out the administration
plan of summer activity it is probable
that it will not be delayed more than a
week after the departure Of the Santa
go party There is some probability
that Major General Lee will so with
st t.. 81, ffs,t,
of his friends that he would prefer to
wait until the Havana invasion. In
he war department it is answered to
this that the forces that go TO Porto
Rico now may be called on later to go
to Cuba, and the places of the invaders
of Porto Rico taken by newer men
needing the additional practice OF garri-
son and guard duty
The reduction Of Havana is still in the
distance, but the occupation of Santa
go and Of Porto Rico will, 1t is believed
by the administration prepare for such
a crushing descent upon Havana after
Porto Rico is in the possession of the
United States and the best of the troops
are free to operate about Havana that
General Blanco will be compelled to see
the futility of opposing, unless he de-
sires to sacrifice some of his troops that
will otherwise be sent back to Spain
to tell the story of their defeat and
evacuation of Cuba.

st. Paul and st. Louis VIII Not Cross the
Ocean.

Washington, June "a few days ago
there was a little scattered newspaper
gossip to the effect that when the st.
Paul again went to sea she would be
joined by her sister ship. the st. Louis.
and the two would cross the ocean and
do some scouting along the Spanish
coast
Inc matter was seriously discussed
by the navy office and that is the main
reason for the bringing of the st. Paul
north for her Quitting and the in
spaction of her machinery. 1t was
thought that the two fast cruisers
could not only pick up some prizes
along the Spanish coast but that, more
important than that, they could give
advance and certain notice OF the COM
ing Of any fleet. 1t was part of the
plan to guard against any surprise
while a fleet of transports might be on
the open sea- 1t is now believed that
the plan is abandoned, as il is felt IN
Washington that there is absolutely
nothing to be feared from the Spanish
fleet. Captain Sigsbee will leave soon

indicate that he will not rejoin Samp-
