the Cuban people of the kindly and
fraternal intentions of the govern
ment at Washington towards the peo-
pie of Cuba. 1t was the purpose of the
president to depend largely upon
Gen. Garcia for the formulation and
development of stable government,
gradually bringing the people to
state of civiliza ton and appreciation
of liberty.
Marti, Maceo and Garcia are names
that will linger in the grateful men,
cries of the friends of free Cuba
throughout generations. They are the
great martyrs who were foremost in
the conflict and fell before they saw
the full fruition of their heroism and
sacrifice.
Marti was the leader of the Cuban
revolution. He was the youngest of
ALL but he planned and put into execu-
tion the beginning of the war that
swept the flag ana power of Spain from
the lovely isle. He fell in one of the
earliest skirmishes of the war, and was
the first of the great martyrs whose
blood gave Cuba independence.
the Cuban rebellion. He had won the
respect even of Spain by his heroism
and skill as military leader in the
Ten Years war, and he fell by the hand
of an assassin just when the battle of
Cuban independence became hopeful
one. He will rank in history as one of
the few men who have taught the world
that the negro can stand abreast with
the white man in the line of great war
riors.
Garcia, like Maceo, was one of the
great heroes of the Ten Years rebel
lion, and he never bowed to Spanish
authority. Once, when wounded and
unable to make his escape from the
Spanish soldiers, he fired his pistol into
his own mouth, the bullet emerging
from his forehead leaving CHASTITY
mark to tell the story of his undying
hostility to Spanish rule. Being left
on the field as dead, his powerful con-
stitution enabled him to recover. He
played a most conspicuous part in the
late insurrection and united his forces
with the American army at Santiago,
but escaped the perils of the field only
TO bring with him the dregs of disease
which ended his great life on the very
day that the news of peace between
Spain and the United States, including
the independence of Cuba, was pro-

Resting beneath the one-starred fl

Resting beneath the one-starred flag,
under whose folds for many years
he bravely and skillfully fought for
liberty and independence, saw
the body of Gen. Calixto Gar
cia, The Cuban patriot soldier; and
on the following day accompanied
the procession to Arlington national
cemetery, where his mortal remains
were placed in the receiving vault.
By command of Maj. Gen. Miles
guard of honor was sent to his room as
soon as it became known that Gen. Gar
cia had passed away. The artillery
men stood guard there until the day
of the funeral, when a full battalion
formed in procession, marched to the
church and then to the cemetery, where
salute was fired as the body was car
ried into the vault.
Maj. Gen. Joseph Wheeler was there.
He said: while there is no precedent
for thus honoring the commander of
the forces of a government which has
not received formal recognition in in
ternational law, we do right to form
this precedent, because we gave Gen.
Garcia substantial recognition on the
battlefield, where we fought side by
side against Spain's armed forces. The
stars and stripes hoated beside the flag
of Cuba Libre when we surrounded San
tiago and captured the place. Gen,
Garcia was a grand, good soldier, and
the people of Cuba would expect us to
honor him, living and dead"
1t had been the intention of Presi-
dent Mckinley to appoint Gen. Garcia
governor-general of Cuba soon after
the completion of the evacuation by
the Spanish troops. That appointment
would have done more than all else
that could have been done to satisfy

has so largely aided in winning for the
oppressed people of Cuba. He will be
honored while living and widely la
nented when dead, but the names
which call out the pathos in the history
Of Cuban independence are Marti, Maceo
and Garcia.
The participation of Gen. Garcia in
the siege of Santiago has never been
officially promulgated in this country,
ard none of the metropolitan rewspa-
pers has published the facts, because
they have not had access to them. The
writer has learned from officers at army
headquarters, in the war department.
building, some facts on the subject
which are now written for the first time
While Gen. Miles was endeavoring to
embark the Fifth corps, which was TO
GO to Cuba under Skaters command,
he received word from Gen. Garcia ask
ing that instructions be sent to- him for
cooperation with the American army.
Gen. Miles sent instructions in the form
of suggestions and requests, but they
were heartily accepted as commands,
showing the good will and alacrity of
soldier and patriot. So anxious was
Garcia to show his readiness to COOP
crate that his responses were hurried
forward through different channels in
order that in case one should miscarry
another might reach its destination.
Gen. Garcia said that he woulo at once
concentrate his forces at the points in-
dicated; that he would march without
delay; that he had already sent forces
to prevent aid going to Santiago from
Holguin; and that he would guard other
approaches to Santiago. How earnest
was his purpose, and how energet tically
executed, is evidenced by the fact that
on the arrival of Skaters expedition,
Garcia's forces were already in position
all around Santiago, practically encom-
passing that city and the Spanish fleet
lying in it's harbor.
A Aglance at the positions seized proves
that superior soldierly instinct had
guided him in their selection and
seizure, the result obtained being the
practical beleaguerment of the city,
fleet and harbor, and plainly indicates
the point where the American forces
should have landed, and the tactics
which obviously could not have failed
to give the Americans, with the least
possible loss of life, the possession OF

the enemy's fleet or it's certain destruc-
tlen and the possession of the city also.
Gen. Garcia had sent 5000 men TO Aold
in check the $4,000 Spaniards stationed
az Holguin; he had placed 1000 men
across the path which the 5000 Span
iards at Guantanamo would have to fol-
low in an effort to reinforce Santiago.
He also sent 1000 men to execute sim
liar duty in the event that the 5000
Spaniards at Manzanillo should attempt
the same enterprise. The Cubans un-
der Garcia participated in upwards of
20 skirmishes with the approaching re-
er forcements.
Gen. Garcia was amazed when Shafter
refused to give him reenforcenents to
carry out his well laid plans. Shafter
said that he wanted all the Spariards in
the province to get into Santiago so that
he might capture them all at once. That
was before the assault of July /, when
Shafter suffered serious repulse. Then
he directed Gen. Garcia to Prev mt fur.
ther Spanish accessions, but it was too
late. Skaters principal blunder at
Santiago was his first blunder, in chang
ing Garcia's plans and taking the hard
est possible route for his soldiers.
Although Gen. Garcia communicated
his views with dignity, and received re-
Dukes and contumely with suavity, he
knew that he was right, and that
Shafter was wrong; but he obeyed or
ders just the same, and fought with his
men by night and by day until the city
was captured by the brute courage of
the soldiers themselves, without orders
from the sick general who accompanied
the Fifth corps, and who telegraphed
his defeat on Sunday, July 3. AT that
very time, Gen. Garcia and Gen. Wheel
er were on the firing line, declaring
that they would succeed. Gen. Garcia
and Gen. Wheeler were the real heroes
there in active command.
Until the close of the campaign Gen.
Garcia continued to advance until his
right rested upon the bay, and he also
sent out strong detachments to cover
roads leading from Holguin and other
Spanish garrisons to Santiago. Upon
the surrender of the city of Santiago,
Gen. Garcia, commanding the Cuban
forces, was debarred from entrance
into the city, and from any participa-
ton in the enjoyment of the honora
or fruits of the victory.
Thereupon Gen. Garcia withdrew
from association with Shafter, because
his own services and the services of the
men under his command were, as he
thought, rewarded with lack of appre.
citation. Being a courtly gentleman
himself, he could not brook dis.
courtesy, neither would he quarrel
with soldier who represented the
American people. SMITH D. FRY.

skirts are made separately and put on

made and the miniature skirts sewed

separate effect is maintained. The skirt
has an abbreviated train and slightly
sweeps the ground all around. There
are no gathers nor plaits at the back
and the opening is made upon the side
to preserve an unbroken beauty of out

Nuts ms n Popular Food.

Nuts have often been considered to
be very indigestible, but doubtless
much of this prejudice against them
comes from the fact that they are very
rarely properly masticated. They are
rich in nutritive elements, and we know
of no reason why they should not be a
healthful article of food if properly
prepared. They should be masticated
very thoroughly, and oftentimes if
they were baked and ground into a
meal they would be used to much
greater advantage. We believe that
they would be a useful article of diet
If prepared in this way and judiciously
used with other lines of diet.

TO HEAD HIM OFF.
Miss Wilder's Long Reach i'll a
Cruelty Case.

Miss Helen Wilder, in her official
capaclty as special police officer for
the Humane Society, has sent a letter
to Seattle, requesting the Secretary of
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals and children, to
rescue the 10-year old daughter of
Captain Kustel, of the bark Hawaiian
Isles, upon the arrival of that vessel
in that port.
Miss Wilder has explained that Kus-
tel was treating the child shamefully
by keeping her constantly in one of
the cabins on the ship. She was not
allowed to come ashore or even given
liberty of the ship during the vessels
stay in this port.
Captain Kustel explains his treat
ment by stating that the child is in
corrigible.
Miss Wilder adds that she was not
apprised of KusteI's actions until Sat
urday morning. She endeavored to
have Kustel arrested but this was i'm
possible as there is no law in Hawaii
preventing cruelty TO children. She
endeavOred TO secure possession of the
little girl, but failed.
Miss Wilder stated yesterday that
her efforts would be directed at the
next session of the legislature toward
securing the passage of laws for the
protection OF children.
