ton Of new cardinals. There are thirteen
vacancies. five Of which will be filled from the
Vatican itself this year; the other six or
seven will be reserved until November 1899

DEATH OF GENERAL GARCIA.

DEATH OF GENERAL GARCIA.
General Calixto Garcia. the Cuban
war or and leader, and head of the COM
mission elected by the Cuban Assembly
to visit this country, died in Washing
ton yesterday morning shortly after ten
clock at the Hotel Raleigh, where the
commission has its headquarters. The
sudden change from the warm climate
of Cuba, with the hardshiDs he had
there endured, added to the wintry
weather of New York and Washington,
is responsible for the pneumonia which
resulted 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,
attended dinner given in his honor by
General Miles, and it was the result of
the exposure that night which culmi-
mated in his death. As soon as the
death became known q number of visit.
ors, including many public men, went
to the hotel to express their coincidence.
President Mckinley manifested his
sympathy by sending a suitably word
ed letter. and Vice President Hobart
sent his card.
General Garcia left large family,
only one of whom, Justo, captain on
his staff, was with him when he died.
His widow, and Mercedes, daughter,
seventeen years of age, are at Thomas
Vile. Ga, where the girl is quite i'll;
Mario, son, nineteen years of age, is
with the mother at Townsville, and
Colonel Carlos Garcia, another son, is
in Cuba. A daughter, Leooore, who
married an american, is now living in
Paris. General Garcia's mother is still
alive and resides in Havana.
The death of General Calixto Garcia
leaves General Maxine Gomez the sole
survivor of the three great leaders OF
the long Cuban struggle for ludepen-
dence. General Garcia had most &C.
tive and varied life. much of which had
been spent in lighting for the cause of
Cuban liberty. He was man OF Gull
ture and refinement, OF splendid edu-
cation and came from distinguished
family of Jiguani, of Santiago de Cuba
province. He was born in Holguin,
October Il, 1889, and was, therefore, in
his sixty-frst year OF his age. General
Garcia was educated in Havana and
spain. In 1864 he was married to Isa-
hal Yelez. General Garcia was the
original coasnirator in the uprising o;
he Cnhsns against Spain IN 1868, and
in that war, under Gomez, attained the
rank of brigadier general. :,
The funeral of General Garcia will
take place at 10 o'clock tomorrow from
St, Fatrick's Church. Cardinal Glib

Mr.. WATTERsoN, who once though
it was wrong for the United States gov
eminent to seize and hold territory in
the South, now thinks it is right for
that government to seize territory ten
thousand miles away that belongs to
foreign governments. But Mr.. Waiter
son thought one hundred thousand
unarmed men could install Mr.. Tilden
as President, and he also followed Mr..
Cleveland out of the democratic party.

MONDAY EVENING. DEC. IL. 1885

For HER own reputation the South
NAV be that no Southern mau was
member of the co-called peace commis-
sion, the members of which disgraeed
themselves and brought ridicule upon
the whole country by allowing public
show to be made of the consummatlon
OF the peace treaty, and permitting
their underlings to hand them pens
with which to sign that treaty, and
then grab and hold them for sou
yenirs, probably to be sold to people in
this country with more money than
brains.

Fear Demonstrations.

PARIS, Dec 12-several thousand extra

IT Is announced that Mr.. VIM. j.

There was nothing for him to gain ny

doubtless already discovered, or, if

ANOTHER U. S. battleship, the Mas
sachusetts, has been badly damaged,
aud that, too, in sailing out OF the New

the face of so many accidents to ships

strange that the American government
should refuse to submit the Maine affair
to the arbitrament OF an international
hoard of examiners.
