NEWS OF GARCIA'S DEATH.
New York Junta Inclined to Credit
the Report of 1t.

| New York Junta Inclined to Credit
the Report of 1t.
Horatio S. Rubens, counsel to the junta,
when given in New York city the informa-
ton contained in The Evening Stars dis
patch. said yesterday afternoon that news
of Garcia's death had not been received at
the Junta, but that, at best, communication
with the Cuban forces in the field was ir-
regular.
II am greatly surprised he said, but I
do not find 1t hard to credit the dispatch.
During the assault Santiago Garcia
in the west with his command, with
the special duty of intercepting reinforce
ments and cutting off the retreat of the
Spanish Soldiery.
When the city fell his duty here was at
an end. But it appears the attack on Man
zanillo was then planned. Manzanillo lies
to the west, and it Is, therefore, probable
that Shafter detailed Garcia's command to
cut off reinforcements there.
"Holguin lies near this city and was gar
risoned by a considerable force, as the
American general must have known.
1T is not unlikely that Garcia and his
men came into conflict with body of
Spanish soldiery bound from Holguin for
ManZanillo.'
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 MIN continued prOmOtlOn until he re-
ceived generals star. In an action in
lo.4 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
Zcnjon was declared.
Garcia at once set out for New York and
organized an expedition to Cuba. He land
ed in Santiago de Cuba, but was taken a
prisoner second time. He eluded the
vigilance of the prison guards in Spain one
night after a fifteen years imprisonment
and fled to England.
Garcia was the promoter of the Hawkins
expedition, which left New York city in
January, 1896, with 300 men and a large
quantity of supplies and ammunition The
vessel sunk. He next fitted out the Ber-
muda, which was seized upon the eve of
her departure, in February, 1896 by a
Cnited States marshal and his deputies
Garcia was arrested and released in 81 800
bail. He at once made another start and
landed in Cuba several days before the
day set for his trial in New York city

on THE WAY TO PORTO RICO.
Great Enthusiasm Marks the De-
parture of the First Exnedition


parture of the First Expedition
With bands playing and 10000 people
cheering, the first expedition to Porto Rico
got away from Charleston, S. c., last night
at I o'clock. The expedition is under the
command of Major General ]. H Wilson
and will, when complete, consist of the I'd
and Sd Wisconsin, the 18th PENNSYLVANIA
regiment and two companies of the 9th IL
linois. The first two regiments are on the
transports Grand Duchess and No. 80 re-
spectively, and they are at sea No. 26, car
rying the 10th Pennsylvania and the Illi-
nois men, is in the stream and will follow
them early this morning. Each of the
ships carries vast quantity of supplies
for the troops, and on the No. y there are
1000 head of mules and the wagon train of
General Wilson's division.
These men, together with those of the 9th
Illinois and 9th Massachusetts, which
sailed last week for Santiago, constitute
the 1st Brigade Of the 1st Division of the
1st Army Corps. The I'd Brigade of the
division is at Chtckamauga and will follow
General Wilson to Porto Rico going either
via Charleston or Norfolk.
The departure of the expedition was a
fine spectacle and the water front was
crowded for three miles with citizens anx-
ious to catch a last glimpse of the soldiers
and to cheer them on their way. For two
days and nights the work of loading bag
gage and provisions on the transports had
been going forward under rush orders. All
the stevedores in the city were employed at
it. They We're assisted by details of men
from the various regiments and the 500
negro laborers employed here by the gov
ernment, and destined for work on the
roads and bridges in Cuba. The weather
had been very warm for two days, but just
the troops were embarking heavy rain
storm came up. AS in the case of the Rita
expedition ten days ago, the clouds broke
away just as the ships pulled out into the
harbor and they went down to the sea un-
der the arch of a perfect rainbow.
The scene which accompanied the de-
parture of the vessels from their docks was
one of indescribable enthusiasm. Practic-
ally the entire population of the city was in
evidence. AS the vessels made the stream
the bands on shipboard and ashore played
national airs and the thousands of people
cheered like mad. The expedition will sail
directly for Porto Rico and join General

No European or American country of like
or similar population has so few manufaC-

manufactures. few and unmportant as
they are, outside of the province of Cata-
lonia. seem to be on the decline, and the
total number of operatives in the entire
Kingdom is no larger than in half a dozen
of the chief manufacturing cities of New
England. With the exception of the dearth
OF coal, Spain has many natural advan-
tages, and its mineral wealth, particularly
iron, lead copper. zinc and quicksilver, is
extensive. but its imports from other coun-
tries in a year cotton goods to twice the
value of its exports of cotton goods and
silk goods in value four times greater than
the silk fabrics, which it exports. These
exports are chiefly to Spanish colonies, a
market which the home country has lost
in part, and the balance of which is likely
TO be wrested from it SOON
In some European and American coun-
tries manufacturing interests (this is nota-
bic Of Germany are increasing in a very
rapid ratio; in some European and Ameri-
can countries the increase is small but
sufncient to be marked and in a still fewer
number there is no increase, but, at the

falling behind, and attention is called as
instance of this to the fact that Seville had
