building, some facts on the, subject
which are now written for first time.
While Gen. Miles was endeaeoring to
embark the Fifth corps, which was to
90 To Cubh under Skaters command,
he received word from Gen. Garcia ask
ing that instructions be sent &c him for
cooperhtion with the, Americanl 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 a
soldier and patriot. So anxious was
Garcia 10 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 it's destination.
Gen. Garcia said thut he would at once
concentrate his forces at the points in-
dcated; 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 energetically
executed, is evidenced by the fact that
on the arrival of Skaters expedition,
Garcia's forces were already imposition
all around Santiago, practically ehcom'
passing that city and the Spanish feet
lying in it's harhor.
A glance ut The positions seized proves
that a superior soldierly Instinct hal
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 encmy's feet or its certain destruc-
ticn and the possession Of the city also.
Gen. Garcia had sent 3,000 men to hold
in check the 10000 Spaniards stationed
nt Holguin; he had placed 1000 men
across the path which the 6,OC0 Span
iards at Guantanamo would have to fol-
low in an effort to reinforce Santiago.
\ He also sent ], 900 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

would have done more than all else
that could have been done to satisfy
the Cuban people of the kindly and
fraterna 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. a
state of civilization and appreciation
of liberty.
Marti, Maceo and Garcia are names
that will linger in the grateful mem
ories 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 and 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.
Maceo was the Stonewall Jackson Of
the Cuban rebellion. He had won the
respect even of Spain by his heroism
and skill as a 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
Tiors.
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 a ghastly
mark 10 tell the story of his undying
hostility to Spanish rule. Being left
on the field as dead, his powerful con-
sNlAulIpH tndDitu ullil W TtcONtI. II Z
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-
claimed to the world.
Gomez, commander in chief of the
Cuban insurgents. has rounded out n
great life after having exhibited the
highest qualities of a great commander,
and now, when beyond the patrarchia!
age and the freedom of Cuba is achieved,
lie will retire to enjoy the blessings he
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
ofCubani independence are Marti, Macco
and Garcia.
The participation of Gen. Garcia in
the siege Of Santiago has never been
officially promulgated in this country,
aI.d. none of the metropolitan newspa-
pers has published the facts, because
they have not had access to them. The
writer has learned from officers at army
hcadduarters in the war department.

wa ESTING beneath the one-starred
kx( flag, under whose folds for
4 many years he brayely and
slillfully fought for liberty and indie
pendence, saw the body of Gen. CaliN-
to Garcia, 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 a
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
a salute was fired as the body was car
ried into the vault.
Mai. Gen. Joseph Wheeler was there.
He said: "While there is no precedent
for thus honoring the commander of
the forces of 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
bnttlefield, where we fought side by
side against Spain's armed forces. The

tiago and captured the place. Gen

marched to the cemetery.
Thomas Williams was one of the firsI
granite men to settle in Barre and was
one of the few to whom Barre ows its
present prosperity in trade in granite.
lie was born in Ireland 46 years ago
and was "a years of age when he came
10 Barre. He was first employed by
The old firm of Marley Brothers, with
whom he later bought an interest. Af-
lerwards he found partnership with
Michael Hurley whom he bought oul
and became the controlling spirit in the
National Granite Company, which under
nis control purchased the Wetmore n
Morse business and controls the Bolster
polishing mill.
1t is owing entirely to Mr.. Williams
efforts that the National Granite COM
pany is now above par, as at one time
the stock could be bought for almost
nothing, but his untiring efforts were
rewarded by the ultimate tinancial
soundness of the company.

estate on Blackwell street and q share

inclined and very pleasant man to
meet. lie will be much missed in the
circles in which he moved.

General Wood believes this is an in.

order be carried out it means the aban-
