Gen. BIancO's Orden PubIicO Disband-
ed and Havana Now PatrOIIed by
Regular Spanish Troops.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Capt. Justo Gar
cha, the son of Gen. Calixto Garcia, of the
Cuban army, who was a passenger on the
United States transport Berlin, which ar
rived from Santiago de Cuba yesterday,
said in an interview: I'VE are being con-
fronted by several very serious conditions,
the chief one of which is the disbanding
of our troops, and the convention now in
session at Santa Cruz is trying to solve the
question. This convention has one great
object in view, and that is to disband the
troops, which now comprise about O,OOO
men, and to secure work for these men.
The assembly proposes to appoint a COM
mission to consult with the government Off
GERS at Washington as to the best way of
disbandng. When that has been accom-
plished the commission will endeavor to
raise sum of money TO be divided among
these men, so that they can re-establish
their farms. To do this it would take at
least $5O,OOO,0OO. Overtures will be made to
the United States to advance this sum to
the Cuban government as soon as it is
formed, and our government will be the
security. Ii the United STAGES government
does not care to advance such a sum the
commission will try to form syndicate of
American capitalists to advance the money.
All the Cuba MS feel that the United States
will give them absolute independence. but
before doing that the United States should
occupy every part of the island. Personally,
believe in a government similar to that of
the United States. That is the land that
fought for us, and is the land we intend
10 favor in every way. / do not think nv
father would accept the presidency of the
new republic. He has worked INCREASINGLY
Tor over thirty years to establish the free
dom OF Cuba, and when that has been ac-
complshed finally and forever he intends to
take a rest"

in Cuba from the United States. John T.
Veny, cOlored Baptist preacher well

for his project in that country. He has been

Not Permitted TO Send Clothing or
Communicate with Her Husband.

PARIS, Nov. 12.-Madame Dreyfus it is
said, applied at the Office of the colonial
minister yesterday for permission to send
her husband some warm clothing for his
return home Her request was refused on
the ground that the government would do
whatever was necessary. AT the same time
the authorities read to her a letter from her
husband to the effect that, having. for five
months addressed appeals for a revision TO
General De Boisdeffre without getting any
reply. and being wearied and exhausted by
his useless appeals, he would write no
more to his family or to anybody. He de-
scribed himself as ill and dying and ''be-
queathed TO the generosity of any country
the care of rehabilitating my memory"
Nine Dreyfus then asked permission to
telegraph her husband the decision of the
Court of Cessation. This request was also
refused. Then through friend, she APP
pealed to President Faure, but with no
better results. Her counsel will bring the
matter before the Court of Cessation.

Muscular Christianity.

LONDON, Nov. ia curious instance Of
muscular Christianity, arising out of rit-

parish church of Cleveden, Somersetshire,
where the anti-ritualists threatened to in
terfere with the service. The vicar an
nounced that, in response to his suggestion
he had received a gift of the best brass
Birmingham "knuckle busters" which. he
added he had distributed among the men,
bers of the choir and orchestra, enjoining
them to use the "knuckle busters" freely if
any obstruction of the service was offered.
The next Sunday he added that he himself
had carried "knuckle busters" for the past
twenty years.
