Gen. Grant had this for an objective
point when he started through northern
Mississippi some time before Sherman
left Memphis. But the treachery or cow
ardice of the commander at Holly Springs
where the secondary base of supplies had
been established, vi, Ided the post to the
rebel cavalry, who destroyed the immense
stock of stores which Gen. Grant had had
collected there for the supply of his army;
and he was compelled in consequence to
make a rapid retreat. He decided that to
operate against the rear of Vicksburg by
that route involved the keeping up of too
long a line of communication to be practi-
cal. He therefore returned to Memphis,
and leaving Gen. Logan S Division behind
TO garrison Tennessee, went down the
river with the rest, and Joined the army
that had been commanded by Sherman,
but was now in command of John A.
McClernand, at Young's Point, opposite
the mouth of the Yazoo.
The disposition of the Mississippi to
change its channels and make cut-offs
had early suggested to our officers the
slender finger of land opposite Vicksburg,
through which the water of the river
would sweep and speedily scour out
channel large enough to become the main
one of the river, and reduce the one in
front Of the city to mere chute. In that
event the rebel position would cease to be
Of any military value. 1t looked as II il
could be easily accomplished.

from the rebel batteries to be cut Of their
range-the peninsula was only mile
wide. The river frequently cuts its way

DEATH OF CEN. CgRcIH.
Cuban Leader Dies of Pneumonia at WASH

Gen. CalixtO Garcia, second in com
mand of the Cuban forces in the struggle
with Spain and President of the c. ban
Commission to this country, died Dec. II i.
at his apartmentsfin Washington hotel
His death was the result OF a cold con-
tracted shortly after his arrival in New
York.
There were presenh at the deathbed
the members Of the Cuban Commission
Senior Gonzales dc Qncsada, Mr.. III. S.
Hubens and Drs. Frank Hyatt and Nc
Llughlin, who attended him during the
last illness, and lLieuts. POes and To .

TO sc d letter Of coincidence. The note
was directed to GsN Ghrcia's son.
Gen. Garcia has ad a most active and
aired life. He was aiman of culture and
rein ment, OF splendid education, and
came from a distinguished family of
.Jiquani, OF Santiago de Cuba Province.
He was born at Holguin, Oct. IA, 1899.
With Carlos Manuel de Cespedes he
started the first movement of what was to
be the 10 years war" From the very
beginning he became famous. When the
Provincial Government removed Gen.
Gomez, Garcia succeeded him. In the
wake OF hi promotion came Gen. Garcia's
greatest victory, the battle of Santa Maria
IN 1863. Here, with an army one-thrd as
strong as that Of the Spaniards, he sur
rounded Gen. Vingues's force and after a
battle OF over II hours compelled him to
surrender.
The tide of victory, however, turned
soon afterward. Disease and hunger
made strong inroads into the Cubans.
One by one the chief Cuban officers laid
q ,wn their arms and abandoned the field.
At last, bandoned by all save his famous
guard, now only 20 strong, the brave

young General was surrounded on a Mon
day morning in September, 1873, by more
than 500 Spaniards. One by one his
faithful followers fell before the merciless
showers of bullets.
Rather than surrender, Garcia fred his
revolver into his mouth and fell APP
parently dead. His body was carried in
triumph to Manzanilo, where, to the
amazement of the physicians, he revived.
The hole which the bullet made when it
entered the chin and came out between
the eyebrows was always visible. He
was sent to Spain, where, in 1877, Premier
Canovas freed him.
Gen. Garcia then came to the United
st ties, and resided in New York City He
took advantage of the first opportunity to
Join Gen. Antonio Maceo in Cuba in what
was known as the little war" He was
defeated and captured.
In February, 1885, Cuba rose once more
and threw off the shackles which had
bound her for so many centuries. Gen.
Garcia arrived in New York in the Fall of
of that year. He arranged the Inflated
ezpedi in in the Hawkins in January
1886. lac fitted out the Bermuda expedi-
ion in the following month, and was ar
rested by this Government. Before the
day OF his trial, however Garcia forfeited
his bail and managed TO land with an
expedition in Cuba.
He succeeded Antorio Maceo in com
iiiiiu vi Cile tioopS Oi the eastern depart
ment, Maceo march, lg west with his

elected Lieutenant-General OF the Cuban

The Climate of tho Philippines.

In regard to the climate which for
eigner encounters, il is easy to exaggerate
it's discomforts; although il is tropical
still even in Summer the climate may be
called healthy. From December to March
there are warm days, with cool nights and
little rain. During March, April and May
the days are hot, dry and dusty, while the
thermometer rises to 90 degrees at noon;
but the aghts are not uncomfortable. In
ne latter part OF May and of June there
are thunder storms every afternoon with a
tremendous downpour OF rain. The great
est heat occurs in these months, the
thermometer rising frequently To 105 de-
September are the months of the great
typhoons, and while Manila escapes the
greatest fury CT these, still enough of the
force remains to demolsh many houses
During October and November storms les
sen in frequency end severity, and the
weather gradually settles into the fine
days OF December.

The San Francisco Chronicle says;
''The news from Los Angeles that a con
tract has been let 10 build a line OF rail-
road which will connect the Santa Fe
system with Bakersfield has been looked
for ever since the Valley line reached its
final terminus. II Is an open secret that
the Santa Fe would have been extended
10 Stockton and San Francisco several
years ago but for the Barring failure.
The matter even went to the point Of FIX
ing upon a location for general offices.
But the big failure put an end 10 all the
Santa FEES development plans for the
time being and left It TO struggle for ex-
istence.
Good management and good times
have since put the Santa Fe on a money
making basis, and the desire Of the own
srs TO give II access 10 the great interior
basin and 10 tho metropolitan seaport OF
the state has seen the opportunity. The
Valley road, which was evidently built
after an understanding with the Santa
Fe, now reaches from tidewater 10 a
point less than one hundred miles from
the main tracks OF that trans'cOntinental
line. To cover this distance is not a 10.

cheering, That the connection will be
