washington, July 22.-General Carlos
Garcia, son of the late Cuban patriot. Ca
iixto Garcia, who is member of the Ma
uonal Cuban league Is In the city. This
organization is composed of representa-
tive Cuban gentlemen, whose aim is TO
harmonize the various opposing factions
In Cuba, with the view OF fastening the
time when Cuba will be able to demon
strate to the world that 1t is capable of
self government. In discussing the situa-
ton on the island and the feeling at pres

the Americans General Garcia said:
Il have nothing personal against GEN
eral Brooke but he does not seem to un-
derstand the true situation IN Cuba. He is
surrounded by set of men who mislead
him. for the reason that they are afraid
OF losing their positions II they tell him
the truth. They tell him one thing and
talk in a different strain to the Cubani.

ALABAMA LANDS.
State Is to BE Given the First Sc
lection.

Washington, July 22.-Secretary of the
Interior Hitchcock has dsapprovea a
recommendation of the commissioner OF
the general land office for the sale of all
public lands in Alabama by public auc-
ton. These unoccupied and unreserved
lands aggregate 2,5I3 acres, over the
proposed disposition of which there has
been considerable agitation. Commissioner
Herman based his action in the matter on
recent developments in connection with the
donation of $4,000 acres OF public lands
in the State to the industrial school for
girls of Alabama, at Montevallo and the
Tuskegee normal industrial school, both
of which. shortly after the law authorizing
the donation became operative. We're rum
ored to have entered into contracts with
corporations to acquire title TO the lands
for a nominal sum. Following an investi-
cation of the matter the immediate sale
of all the public land was recommended
General Wheeler. however has recon-
mended that the public sale of lands be
postponed until congress can have an OPP
portunity to legislate authority for the
State to make selections of lands and that
the residue be publicly auctioned off.
Secretary Hitchcock concurs in this view
and congress must take the next step.

astonisbed TO read that an attachment had
been served on j. p. Morgan & Co. to Sc
cure payment for what are known DIS the
old Woodhorse Mexican bonds. The Mex

of the secretaries stated that he had never
been unable to understand how judgment
could have been issued against the Mex
lear government in favor OF John Haz-

bonds Illegally issued. and he was equally
nl,yzled TO know the process OF law by
which 1t could be served on the new Mex
lean bonds which ]. p. Morgan are nego-
tiating.
Embassy officials do not seem to fear
ttat their government Will ever be called
