NEW YORK, July 20.-The last word di-
rectly received by the Cuban Junto in this
city from Garcia was dated before San
tiago, July II. 1t was cable message, and
stated briefly that he was well and that the
progress of events was satisfactory. At
that time Garcia was to the west of San
tiago guarding the approaches from ex-
pected reinforcements TO the city.
Horatio S Rubens counsel to the Junto,
when given the information contained in the
Evening Posts dispatch, said this after
noon that news of Garcias death had not
been received at the Junto, but that, at best
the communication with the Cuban forces
in the field was irregular. II am greatly
surprised. he said, but 1 do not find ii
hard to credit the dispatch. During the last
assault on Santiago Garcia was in the west
with his command. with the special duty Of
intercepting achievements and cutting off
the retreat of the Spanish soldiers. When
the city fell his duty there was at an end.
But, it appears. the attack on Manzanillo
was then planned Manzanillo lies to the
west and. it is said, Shafter detailed Gar
cias command to cut off the reinforcements
from there. Holguin lies near Manzaniilo,
and was garrisoned by a considerable force,
as the American general must have known.
1t is not unlikely that Garcia and his men
came in conflict with a body of Spanish
soldiery. bound from Holguin for Mani
Zanillo."

Gen. Garcia,n Career.

Calixto Garcia was in his sixtieth year,
and was regarded by the Cuban insurgents
as one of their most intrepid soldiers. In
the ten years war his skill, bravery and
energy won him continual promotion until
he received a generals star In action IN
1874 Garcia was surrounded by Spanish
troops. Rather than surrender he shot
himself through the chin with suicidal in
tent. He recovered and was sent to Spain.
He was released in 1877, when the peace of
Zenjon was declared. Garcia at once set
out for New York and organized an expedi-
ton to Cuba He landed in Santiago de
cuba, but was taken prisoner a second
time. He eluded the vigilance of the prison
guards in Spain one night after q fifteen
years Imprisonment and fled to England.
Garcia was the promoter of the Hawkins
expedition which left New York in Janu-
airy, 1886, with three hundred men and d
large quantity of supplies and ammunition.
The vessel sunk. He next fitted out the
bermuda, which was seized on the eve of
her departure, in February, 1896, by a
United States marshal and his deputies.
Garcia was arrested and released in g. 800
pail He at once made another start, and
landed in Cuba several days before the day
set for his trial in New York. For the last
TWO years he has been engaged in conduct

Gift of War to BE Kept.


New York Letter in Philadelphia Press
There is no more cautious or conservative
newspaper in this country than the recog-
nized financial and commercial authority,
the Journal of Commerce of this city. and
to-day it speaks with most serious import
of this Philippine question. 1t believes that
it expresses the best. the most serious pub
lie opinion when it says that ii is absolutely
essential that in view of the purpose of
soma of the other great commercial powers
TO exclude, so far as possible. America and
England from the trade which the vast
Asiatic population offers that the United
states reserve for itself unobstructed ac-
cess to the Celestial Empire.
For such purposes of protection it is in
dfspensable that we be equipped with a
naval base in the Pacific. That necessity is
opportunity met by our control of the Phil
ippine islands, and we are bound TO see to
it that this vitality needed acquisition is not
allowed to slip from our hands. So large an
extent of territory may not be needful for
defensive purposes, but we cannot attempt
to divide it without inviting serious internal
tional quarrelS We therefore must hold the
whole, sharing, when and so far as it may
be safely done, political power with the in
.habitants. If anybody chooses to call this
colonizing or Imperialism they may be safe
ly allowed all they can make by such a per-
version of terms
That, 1t is believed, expresses the ma
Jority opinion as it has finally been formu-
lated among thinking and conservative men
here, and 1T is an opinion which, it is be-
lieved, the administration must take into
consideration when ii comes to the negotia-
ton of the treaty of peace

HOME FOR SCHLEY.
His Maryland FelIOw-Citizens Talk of
Buying Him One.
Baltimore American.

BalIlmOre American.
In his brief address to the great meeting
held in Cumberland to honor the work of
Commodore Schley the suggestion was made
by General Sprigg, the chairman of the
evening, that the tribute be a silver service
or homestead The idea is timely, and it
should be acted upon at once The silver
service sounds well, but, under the circum-
stances. it is out of the calculation. 1t is no
discredit to hero to admit that he is not
a rich man. He has served his country mag
nificently on modest pay, that at best pro-
vides little above living expenses. He is not
a person of aff1uence, although he has done
more for the government, more for the Ma
ton, more for us all, than thousands of
persons who have got rich out of political
service and contracts Schley has attained
glory, but he is far from wealth. And. al
though he won the greatest victory of mod
ern naval warfare, the lions share of the
prize money will go to the officer who was
not in the fight at all.
Here, then is Maryland's opportunity. In
other wars it was the habit of grateful peo-
pies to show their appreciation of their he
roeS by presenting them with mansions and
palaces. After our civil war several of the
high officers on both sides were given
homes by popular subscriptions. The prece-
dent has ruled for centuries. 1t should not
more would be to show in the best, most
practical and most material way our graft
tude and our love. 1t is not a matter for
any one newspaper or any one city to take
up' but il should be a full generous and
immediate movement, headed by the Gov
ernor of the State, and participated in by
every man, woman ana child VINO can spare
a penny for so noble purpose. We do not
doubt for an instant that the response to a
call properly started would more than sup
ply the means necessary for the end.
That the residence should be in Baltimore
will be agreed to by the State. 1t is the
metropolis Of the South to which the peo-
pie of every county come, and it is the CEN
trail point in all respects. A home for Schley
is the form our appreciation should take,
and it will not interfere in the slightest
with the sword which will be presented to
him by the State. The sword from the Stat
and the home from the people will be just
the thing.

report is made all the facts will be there
and told in simple. straightforward man
ner, without the slightest attempt at color
ing. Credit will be given where it is due
Now, about the two men. Both are of
unquestioned bravery. Sampson is cool and
collected. Schley is aggressive, with a good
deal of the dare devil spirit in him. Both
are sticklers for discipline, although Samp-
son is much more the reserved of the two"
Was 1t on account of faVoritiSyn that
Sampson was made acting rear admiral
over Schley, his senior officer?"
Positively no In my opinion. Sampson
Department considered him the most COM
petent officer in the service. He is looked
upon as the best informed man in the navy.
He is considered authority on ordnance and
torpedoes. In fact, he was instructor in
these branches.
Now as to Schley," went on Mr.. Howe.
'he is looked upon as the best Spanish and
French scholar in the navy. His department
at the academy was modern languages. !
remember one thing in particular about him
and that is his long legs. He is not notice
ably tall, but his legs are of wondrous
length and he can run like deer.
In the navy they meyer tire of telling
about Schley in Korea. During the trouble
there we sent a landing party ashore in
charge of Schley The beat had no more
than reached the shore when out jumped
the marines to make a dash for the para
pets possibly half mile away. In the lead
was Schley. In a jiffy he was far ahead of
everybody, his legs working vigorously
Ard when the entertainments were reached
he had practically distanced all the others
mention this not so much to call attention
to the old mans legs as to illustrate his
dash and absolute fearlessness.
No one is going to take away any of
Scheys glory in the destruction of Ger
vera's feet and am positive that Sampson
will be the very last man to ever think of
such a thing"

On the other hand, the regular officer is al
ways on friendly. but never on familiar,
terms with his men.
The difficulty of the volunteer officer is
aggravated by the presence of a number of
newspaper men, who have enlisted and con-
t1nue TO work for their papers. which in this
way save the expense Of sending out CORE
spondents. Some of these newspaper pri-
Yates do not take kindly TO hard work, and
do not understand the necessity of strict
dlsclpllne. They grumble. and will. un-
doubtedly, use the press to relieve their feel
ings. Many of the officers have political as
plrattonS and do not wish to become I'M
popular at home. The newspaper private is
bound to prove a danger to discipline. He
is not tolerated in any other army, and he
should be suppressed in ours.
