OFFICERS INDIGNANT.
Refuse to Notice Any Statement
Made BY Downs.

The officers of the Twenty-fourth at
Fort Douglas were greatly incensed
yesterday when apprised of the state
ments made by Colonel Downs.
That the heroic deeds and noble con-
duct of the gallant Twenty-fourth reg
iment in the late war should be called
into question by such a man as Colonel
Downs, who certainly made no record
for GOODNESS or bravery at San Juan,
was regarded as amazing, especially in
view of the fact that all the vast array
of indisputable testimony proves be-
yond a shadow of a doubt that the
men of the Twenty-fourth were in the
thickest of the fighting, conducted
themselves as true soldiers iii the very
front rank in the attack on San Juan
hill, and that no regiment in the army
displayed greater courage and GOODNESS
or did more to win the glorious victory
A Herald reporter made a call on
the officers at the post last evening and
sought interviews with them. Each of
the officers spoken to politely declined
to discuss the matter, although it was
plainly evident that they were sup
pressing their Indignation over the as
sertions rejecting upon the conduct of
the TWentV-fOurth.

Camp Meade, Middletown, Pa, Oct
1.-THE men in the Two Hundred and
First New York regiment are in a state
of semi-mutiny, and threaten trouble
if they are not given better treatment
They complain that they are not prop
erly fed, and that they were given
nothing for dinner yesterday but meat
and coffee. The men have had no
bread for "A hours, because there is no
baker in the regiment who knows how
to use the field ovens, and the chief
commissary officers insist that each
regiment must bake the bread for its
own men.
The New Workers have not been paid
since they reached here, the officers be-
ing afraid they will take French leave
and go home to visit their friends.

ATTITUDE OF GENERAL GARCIA
HAS ACCEPTED NO FAVoRS
FROM THE AMERICANS.
Half the Island Will Soon Be Evac-
uated-Spaniards Report That
They Are Making Good Progress.


Havana, Oct. 14-Cosme de Ia Tor
General Calixto Garcia, is quoted in
an interview as saying that the general
has not accepted any post from Gen
eral Lawton or the other American Of
ficers, and it is not true he is making
a tour of the eastern part of Cuba adj
vising the disbanding of the Cuban
army, and that there is no truth In
the statement that Garcia is going 10
the United States for the purpose of en-
deavoring to raise a loan, which ne has
no authority to do. The aid-de-camD
and secretary further asserted that
Garcia has not denied the legality of
the actual revolutionary government OF
Cuba, nor has he accepted the SupFem-
acy of the United States. But it an
pears Garcia has unofficially expressed
the opinion that the present Cuban gov
ern1feuts owing co The lack OF MEM
bers and personnel, could not be con-
sidered legal, as a quorum was impos-
Sible, and, therefore, its actions are I'M
constitutional.
Further, General Garcia is alleged to
advocate the closest union between
the SDaniards and Cubans on the
island, forgetting the past and uniting
in every effort looking to the establish
ment of independence.
These statements are considered
among the SDaniards here as indicat-
ing Garcia's real attitude towards the
United States and the future of Cuba.
Since Aug. II, 6.775 passengers have
arrived here They were almost en-
tirely refugees who emigrated during
the war.
