Generous American Surgeons

SAN FRANCISCO, July 20.-A Chronicle
special from Cavite of June 10 says:
One hundred and eighty-fve wounded
Spanish troops were sent into Manila to-
night under the Red Cross flag. They were
part of the fruits of the campaign that the
rebels have conducted against Manila for
seven weeks past and their removal was
a relief to themselves and their captors.
That many of them lived to get back to
their beloved Manila is due almost entirely
to the sacrifice Of the surgeons from the

agement of affairs in Cuba, SO far as the
Cuban representatives were concerned, and
that II Garcia and other Cubans operating
about Santiago were not in harmony with
the United States authorities 1t arose from
a misunderstanding Of the presidents
proclamaticns and of the intentions of the
United States government in the premises.
The Cubans at Santiago. 1t was stated,
probably thought that the action Of Gen.
Shafter meant the continuation of Spanish
rule and Spanish authority. 1t being well
understood here that such was not the
case, it was the belief of the Cuban repre-
sentatdves that when the matter was made
plain to the Cuban officers in the field they
would acQuiesce in the action of the United
States and render the United States army
hearty support.
The Cubans assured the war officials that
nothing was further from their desires
than a rupture with the United States
forces and authority. 1t also became
known that the junta had sent dispatches
to Gen. Garcia and other Cuban officers
that their course at Santiago was not ap-
proved by the junta, and II persisted in
would result in serious injury to the Gu
bans. 1t is believed that the representa-
tons made will bring about better under
standing between the Cuban officers and
the Americans. The opinion was ex-
pressed at the war department that the bet
ter class Of Cubans in the island will have
no sympathy with those who would bring
about trouble. but that It is the lower and
vicious classes who desire to loot and plum
der the city.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2o.-Mail adviccs

collecting arms and ammunition. He Is
now at Margrues del Suchiate, not having

Some time ago Cabrera, who succeeded

fears for his life should he take advantage

the Guatemalans against Cabrera, who.
he asserts, will carry the election by force

Morales clearly outlines its purpose and
plainly indicates forthcoming clash Of

far there have been no drunken brawls.
Many of the Spanish soldiers are anx-

applying for naturalization papers.
A number Of officers OF high rank IN the
Spanish army condemn their government
policy in dividing its forces In Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines. instead OF con-
centrating them and possibly saving one
colony. The cutting OF the fleet Is also
strongly censured, and the Spanish naval
officers all argue that 1t Is Impossible

the city without having a shot hred at

they had only few thousand men, and
that they all went to Ell Caney at the

At the battle of Ell Caney our casualties

GARCIA IS DEAD
GREAT INsURGENT GENERAL
REPORTED SLAIN
New YORK juNTA WORRIED

Associated Press Special wiz.

Associated Press Special Wira
NEW YORK;. July 20.-A Kingston ia
maica. special to the Evening Post says:
Cubans arriving from Siboney bring In
reports of the death of Gen. Garcia. They
make mystery of 1t. saying that 1t should
not be known in Cuba yet, or in the United
States for reasons of state, and give no par
ticulars except he was shot. Spanish
refugees here who are officially connected
with Gen. Blanco believe the story.
Afraid It Is True
NEW YORK. July 2O.-The last word d.
rectly received by the Cuban Junta was
July II. 1t was a cable message, and stated
briefly that he was well and that the pro-
gress of events was satisfactory. At that
time Garcia was to the west of Santiago,
guarding the approaches from expected re-
Inducements to the city.
Horatio s. Rubens counsel for the Junta
when given the Information contained In
the Evening Posts dispatch, said this after
noon that news of Garcia's death had not
been received at the Junta, but at best COM
munication with the Cuban forces in the
field was irregular.
II am greatly surprised" he said, but
do not find It hard to credit the dispatch.
During the assault on Santiago Garcia was
In the west with his command, with the spe-
cial duty Of intercepting reinforcements and
cutting off the retreat of the Spanish SOL
dters. When the city fell his duty there
was at an end. But. 1t appears, the attack
on Manzanillo was then planned. Man
zanillo lies to the west, and 1t is therefore
probable that Shafter detailed Garcia's COM
mand to cut off reinforcements there.
"Holguin lies near Manzanillo and was
garrisoned by considerable forced as the
American General must have known. 1t Is
not unlikely that Garcia and his men came
into conflict with body Of Spanish SOL
diers from Holguin for Manzanillo."
Garcia's Career
NEW YORK, July 2O.-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 continued promotion until he received
