SIMPSONS REPORT
ON THE WAY TO THE GOVERN
MENT AT LAST
The 0facials Anxious for the Technical
Details Of the Engagement With
Cervera's Fleet

WASHINGTON. July M.-The anxiously
awaited report Of Admiral Sampson on the
great sea fight with Cervera's squadron
is now on the way by the cruiser St. Paul,
under Captain Sigsbec, which left Santi-
ago day before yesterday. The trip to
New York is about three or four days, SO
the report is likely to be in the hands Of
the department by next Saturday or SUM-
day. After going over 1t the officials will
make public liberal extracts on the de-
tails Of the engagement. This and the
supplementary reports of the fleet officers
are awaited with great interest, not only
for the light they will throw on this memoir
able fight but for the technical lessons
they will give on explosives, proJectiles
etc. Thus far not word has been re-
ceived by the department to show what
kind Of projectiles did such effective work.
Captain O'Neil of the ordnance bureau is
the scientific deductions which will be af-
forded and he has sent orders for detailed
reports on the effects of all kinds Of naval
ordnance, including the dynamite projec-
tiles thrown by the Vesuvius. The press
reports concerning the dynamite projec-
tiles indicated that they had done fearful
havoc, but the observations since then
within the Notifications do not show any
very serious damage. The technical re-
ports will disclose just how much effective
ness can be secured from the various ap-
planes now in use by the navy. some Of
them being in their experimental stages.

DEATH OR DIsLoYALTY


WASHINGTON. July 21.-General Palma.
president of the Cuban junta. is in the city.
He does not credit the stories about the re-
ported friction between Cuban soldiers and
the Americans.
II think" he said, ''all Cubans recognize
the nice work Of the United States in help
ing the Cubans to attain their independence.
1 cannot think any regular soldiers of the
Cuban army have refused to help build
roads. dig trenches, etc. I do not know
what some few scattered soldiers may have
done. but 1t is not reasonable to suppose
that any Of the regulars under Garcia have
declined to perform such services. General
Garcia. from the beginning, said he was
ready to do all that was necessary to aid the
Americans, and his soldiers have for years
been doing Just such work as you refer to
They have grown accustomed to it,
What do you estimate as the number Of
Cuban soldiers under arms In Cuba at the
present timer" was asked.
II think we have about 5000 Cuban SOL
diers under arms in Cuba now" said Gen
eral Palma. There are probably about
1000 or 5000 with Garcia. and the balance Of
them are scattered all over Cuba. 1t must
be remembered that we have possession Of
a good many towns, and there must be a
guard maintained over them by our Cuban
army. All through the provinces there
are needs for the protection which is afford
ed by these soldiers. Most of our cavalry is
in Puerto Principe"
General Palma does not credit the reports
regarding the death of General Garcia. He
said he had letter from General Garcia .
few days ago, and believes he is still alive.
Garcia Feels Insulted
NEW YORK, July IA Santiago special
to the Journal dated July 10th says that
General Garcia has written letter to Gen
eral Shafter declaring that he is Disguised
with his treatment at the hands Of the
Americans and will therefore withdraw his
forces to the hills.
Among the things Of which General Gar
cha complains is the failure of the Amer.-
can commander to officially notify him Of
the surrender of the Spanish forces under
General Toral; and he is also incensed at
the alleged fact that he was not invited to
be present at the ceremony attending the
formal equalization Of Santiago. Another
grievance is the retention Of the Spanish
civil authorities in the administration of
their functions in Santiago.
For these Garcia declares he will no longer
cooperate with the forces under General
Skaters command but will act indie
| pendently as he did before the American
| troops landed in Cuba.
