DEATH OF GENERAL GARCIA.
His Last Thoughts Were of the Country
He Had So Long Fought For.

His Last Thoughts Were of the Country
He Had So Long Fought For.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 13--General Calix-
to Garcia, the distinguished Cuban war
rior and veteran and head of the COM
mission elected by the Cuban assembly
to visit this country, died here shortly
after 10 a. m. at the Hotel Raleigh,
where the commission has it's headquar-
tiers. The sudden change from the warm
climate OF Cuba, with the hardships he
had there endured 10 the vi:1!.1'y weather
of New York and Was,linStoD. is re-
sponsible for the pneumonia which re-
suited in his demise. He contracted
slight cold in New York, which did not
assume an alarming stage until the early
part of last week. On Tuesday night
General Garcia, in company with the
other members of the commission. at
tended dinner given in his honor by
General Miles, and it was result of the
exposure that night which eliminated
in his death. During the IL hours or
more preceding his dissolution General
Garcia was -@A...
Unconscious Most of the Time.
AT intervals ne recognized one or more
of those about him. In his dying mo-
ments as all through his busy and &C
tive life his thoughts were for his be-
loved country and its people and
amongst his last words were irrational
.murmurings in which he gave orders to
his officers on his staff for. the battle
which he supposed was to occur and in
which he understood there were only
200 Spaniards to combat. Several
members Of the commission and Mr..
Rubens. their counsel in this country,
were in the bed chamber when the end
came. The remains were Immediately
prepared for burial and We're placed ON
a bier in the room in which he died.
BY direction Of Major General Milesa
detachment of soldiers from Battery E.
Sixth artillery, was detailed as a body
guard for the renlttirs. General Garcia
left large family, only one of whom,
Justo. captain on his staff, was with
him when he died.

EXISTING REGIMENTS TO BE RE-
CRUfTED.

Washington, June 1.-Adjutant General
Corbin is engaged in making up the ap-
portionment of troops which each state Is
to be asked to furnish under President
MoK snley's second call for rs, 900 men.
Because of an excess over their quota
and under the last call some of the states
will not be asked for any additional men
at this time.
So far as Is possible, the existing regi-
ments will be recruited to their maxi
mum strength.
Some OF the governors in their commu-
nications with the war department have
manifested decided opposition to filling
up the existing regiments, preferring to
recruit new organizations and in some of
the cases, 1t is likely the department may
yield, although no one will make any
official statement to that effect.
There is disposition on the part of the
war department. to avoid any unseemly
wrangle over the matter, but instead to
yield point for the sake of appearances
Ample authority exists, it is said. under
the volunteer act for the war department
to proceed on its own responsibility with
the work OF recruiting without any call
on the governors to assist in that work.
The war department is ulassing rations
for thirty days at Jacksonville.
The officials decline to say how many
men are to be concentrated there or
whether they will stay at that place for
the full thirty days for which the rations
are prov idsd.

THE FRENCH BuGABOO.
London Hears of Reported Alliance With
Spain.

London, June 1.-The Daily Chronicle
thinks the general situation is grave and
says:
The rumois Of secret arrangement
between France and Spain continue with
regular persistence and the reports of
French designs upon the Canary islands
and Ceuta are gathering strength"
Continuing the Chronicle says:
I'm commercial circles it is perfectly
well understood that Great Britain will
regard frances taking the Canaries or
Ceuta as an unfriendly act, and also that
If France helps Spain, public opinion
here will demand that we assist America !"
The Pail Mall Gazette devotes much
spao. to the Anglo-Americans and while
disavowing Its belief that any treaty or
alliance exists, says:
"There will be something better-the
recognition of Our unities aud the rapidly
consolidating sense of common interests
and brotherliness. Henceforth Great
Britain and America will approach these
things in the right spirit and Anglo
Saxon solidarity will become more and
more force to be reckonsd with.

AMERICANS IN SPAIN.
(Harper's Bazar. }

Herbert Bowen, who has had to face
sulate In Barcelona, was made our consul
general in Spain in January, 1895. The
writer of this paragraph happened, with
a party Of Americans, to be dining at
| the same hotel table with him when the
telegram announcing his promotion was
handed him.
MFR. Bowen's rooms at the consulate
were on the main street, which ran by
the principal hotels, picturesque thor.
oughfars, with the pedestrians path,
shaded by trees, running through Its CEN
tire. On Mr.. Bowen's table were all the
latest American books and periodicals.
Photographs and musical instruments lay
about The room might easily have been
mistaken for that of some prosperous COL
lege student.
1t was befor the door of bis consulate
that Mr.. Bowen faced the mobs to which
reference has just been made. There were
several of them, but they did no harm.
Mr.. Bowen was protected by the police,
and on several occasions he was warned.
A large body of officers and detectives
escorted him to the station when he left,
which SO overawed the crowd that no
demonstrations were made.
On one occasion, however, Mr.. Bowen
and co1npatriot defended his consulate
alone. He tells the story of it in this
way: 200
During the morning of April 20 q
mob of three thousand or four thousand
people suddenly filed the square in front
of the consulate, cheering for Spain and
uttering other cries. 1 was breakfasting
at the hotel on the opposite side Of the
square This mob, having heard of the
attack at Malaga, had come determined
to set the consulate eagle and shield.

people until l got my back to the door and
faced the mob. There / awaited the re-
suit. had hardly taken up my position
when I noticed man about as big as
myself (Mr. Bowen Is about six feet
hieh) pushing through the crowd. He
came and stood beside me, did not speak,
but faced the crowd, which continued to
threaten US. Fortunately the mob had
no leader; SO for quarter OF an hour we
two and the mob faced each other. Then
the police and the soldiers arrived and
the mob melted away. ] asked the
stranger who he was, and he replied:
II am Norman Harrington OF Chicago.
This is my first day In Barcsfona. 1t
seemed to me as if there would be gume
trouble for the eagle up there, and 1
thought I'd take bit of it. -

BURGLARY AT JEFFERSON.
The Box Office Money Drawer Relieved of
Quite Sum.

The box Office at the Jefferson theatre
was entered burglars Tuesday night and
the contents of the money drawer alb
stracted. The amount taken is not
known, but it is thought that about $50
was in the drawer. It is somewhat of a
mystery how an entrance was effected as
there was no sign of any window or door
being forced. A window above the box
office was partially open and it is thought
the thieves may have been able to have
reached this and got inside in that way.
