o 4 THE ‘SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1898. GENERAL GARCIA REPORTED TO HAVE MET Career of the Leader Probably Brought to a Sudden Close. NEW YORK, July 20.—A Kingston (Jamaica) special to the Evening Post BaY:! “Cubans arriving from Siboney bring in reports of the death of Gen- eral Garcia. They make a mystery of it, saying that it should not be known in Cuba yet, or in the United States, for reasons of state, and give no par- ticulars except that he was shot. Spanish refugees here who are official- 1y connected with General Blanco be- lleve the story.” The last word directly received by the Cuban Junta in this city from Garecfa was dated before Santiago, July 11. It w cab! essage, and stated briefly that he well and that the progress of events was satisfactory. At that time Garcia was to the west of Santi- ago, guarding the approaches from ex- d reinforcements to the city. cubens, counsel for the given he information the Evening Post's dis- patch, said this afternoon that news of Garcia's de had not been re- ceived at the Junta, but at best com- munication th the Cuban forces in field was egula W sed,”’he said, “but to credit the dis- ault on Santiago During the a: Garcia was in the west with his com- patch nd, with the special duty of inter- pting reinforcements and cutting off the retreat of the Spanish soldlers. When the city fell his duty there was at an end. But it appears the attack on Manzanillo was then planned. Man- zanillo lies to the west, and it Is there- fore probable that Shafter detailed HIS DEATH Veteran Cuban | Garecia’s command to cut off reinforce- ments there. Holguin lies near Manza- nillo and was garrisoned by a consid- erable force, as the American general must have known. It is not unlikely that Garcia and his men came into conflict with a body of Spanish soldiers | bound from Holguin for Manzanillo.” Calixto Garcla was in his sixtieth year and was regarded by the Cuban insurgents as one of their most intre- pid soldiers. In the ten years’ war his skill, bravery and energy won him | continued promotion until he received a general’s star. In an action in 1874 Garcla was sur- rounded by Spanish troops. Rather than surrender he shot himself through the chin with suicidal intent. He lived and was sent to Spain. He was re- leased in 1877, when the peace of Zen- jon was declared. Garcia at once set out for New York and organized an ex- pedition to Cuba. He landed in San- tlago de Cuba, but was taken a pris- oner a second time. He eluded the vig- | ilance of the prison guards in Spain one | night, after fifteen months’ imprison- | ment, and fled to England. | Garcia was the promoter of the Haw- | kins expedition which left this cfty in | January, 1898, with 300 men and a large | cargo 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 United States Marshal and his dep- utles. Garcia was arrested and re- leased in $2500 bail. He at once made another start and landed in Cuba sev- | eral days before the day set for his trial in this city. Since then he has been engaged In conducting the cam- paign of the Cubans against Spain in | the province of Santlago de Cuba. 10 TRANSPORT THE PRISONERS Contract Awarded to a Spanish Company.

WILL TERRORIZE THE ENEMY AND IMPRESS EUROPE Reasons Why the Strength of Commodore Watson’s Squadron Has Been Creatly Augmented. NEW YORK, July 20.—The Wash- | ington correspondent of the Herald | telegraphs: In directing the organiza- tion of the formidable Eastern squad- ron and giving its commander-in-chief | instructions to proceed to the coast of Spain, President McKinley was actu- | ated by a desire not only to terrorize the enemy, but to impress all Europe | with the sea power of the United | States. I am able to make this state- | ment on the authority of an official who is in the confidence of the Presi- dent. In the formation of the Eastern | squadron and its dispatch across (he} Atlantic will be a notification to the powers of Europe that it is the purpose | of the United States to compel the Ma- drid government to comply with any | demand it may choose to make. It was for this reason that the Eastern squad- ron has been considerably strength- | ened. As first organized a squadron with but two battleships, one protected | sada and other representatives of the | Cuban Junta have been in consultation | with officials of the War Department | to-day. The United States officials | | were assured that there was no dissat- | isfaction with the management of at-% | | fairs in Cuba, so far as the Cuban rep- resentatives were concerned, and that ‘if Garcla and other Cubans operating | about Santiago were not in harmony with the United States authorities, it arose from a misunderstanding of the President’s proclamations, and of the ilnlentlons of the United States Gov- ernment in the premises. The Cubans | | at Santiago, it was stated, probably | thought that the action of . General | Shafter meant the continuation of | Spanish rule and Spanish authority. It being well understood here that such | was not the case, it was the belief of | the Cuban representatives that when | the matter was made plain to the Cu- | ban officers in the field they would ac- quiesce in the action of the United | States and render the United States | army hearty support. gis | The Cubans assured the war officials | that nothing was further from their | desires than a rupture with the United | States forces and authority. It also became known that the junta | had sent dispatches to General Gar- | cla and other Cuban officers that their | course at Santiago was not approved by the junta, and if persisted in would | result in serious injury to the Cubans. | It is believed that the representations | made will bring about a better under- standing between the Cuban officers |and the Americans, | _The opinion was expressed at the | War Department that the better class | of Cubans in the island will have no sympathy with those who would bring about trouble, but that it is the lower | | and viclous classes who desire to loot | and plunder the city.

Under supplemental orders which have been given Commodore ‘Watson, he is to hold himself in readi- ness to proceed to any point the Presi- dent may desire. Operating in Span- ish waters he will be in a central posi- tion, and can return to the American coast to protect American ports, or can proceed to the Philippines to reinforce Admiral Dewey if any attempt be made by a third power to wrest any of those islands from the United States. Pt 4 NOW SUGGESTED LONDON, July 21.—The Daily Chron- icle says editorially this morning: As strong supporters and sincere well wishers of the United States, we sug- gest a reconsideration of the decision to send Commodore Watson to Europe. It could not materially harm Spain and would be likely to reunite the Spanish into an impervious obstinacy of endurance and a determination to suffer to all lengths. "That is their na- tional character. It was that which baffled Napoleon, who had land forces to overrun the whole country, while at every point an American fleet could touch there would be danger of Euro- pean complications.

BRYAN'S REGIMENT REACH NASHVILLE The Commander Makes a Speech In- tended to Particularly Please the South. NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 20.—Sev- eral hundred members of the Third Ne- braska regiment, commanded by Colo- nel William J. Bryan, arrived here to- day, and were met at the depot by a large crowd. They were entertained at lunch and soon afterward proceeded on their way to Atlanta Ga. Colonel Bry- an, with the remainder of the regiment, arrived this afternoon and was given a very enthusiastic reception. All of the soldiers were provided with Ilunches and presented with flowers. Hon. Benton McMillin presented Colonel Bryan to the large and enthu- siastic audience of men and women, who greeted him with cheers. Colonel Brvan then spoke in part as follows: ‘We do not know what may be the result of this war. War often bfings results which re not imagined in the beginning, but one result has already been achieved during this war. If there was anybody in the United States who doubted the loyalty of the people of the South there will be no such doubts here- after. (Applause). When the President of the United States gave a general's commission to Fitzhugh Lee and to Coneressman Wheeler the sectional question was forever buried, and hereafter there will be no Dixfe line. (Ap- plause). When our band started down there I told them I wanted them to practice well on ‘‘Dixie”” so that we could play It when we got down South, because I told them they :had been practicing for thirty years on ‘‘Yankee Doodle” and we wantéd to mix them down here.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN AVERTED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT SAID “ALI’S WELL.” Shareholders of the Union Building and Loan Association Kept in Ignorance by the Expert. Special Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, July 20.—The posi- tion of J. L. Fields, secretary to the Commissioners on Building and Loan Associations, is an unenviable one to say the least. On December 16, 1896, he made a report to the shareholders of the Union Building and Loan Asso- ciation, of Sacramento, wherein he took occasion to say, in the capacity of a “public accountant,” that the books and accounts of the assoclation were In a “correct and satisfactory condi- tion.” As a matter of fact it would be most difficult to find the affairs of any association in a more unsatisfactory or deplorable condition. In one instance in particular the ac- counts showed that four years inter- est was delinquent on a certain loan, and in the aggregate it amounted to more than the original note. In many other instances it was evident that ther there has been woeful lack of bus- iness sagacity. At the same time Mr. Fields reported everything in a satis- factory condition. One year later Major Weinstock, chairman of a committee of stock- holders, appointed to look into the af- fairs of the association in order to dis- cover the purpose and intent of ®ads’ report to the stockholders, addressed to him the following communication: Sacramento, Cal., Dec. 23, 1897. Mr. J. L. Fields, Secretary Board of Commissioners, U. B. and L. Association, Mills Building, San Francisco, Cal.—Dear Sir: At the meeting of the stockholders of the Union Bullding and Loan Associa- tion, held on Wednesday, December 15, r. E. K. Alslp, secretary, read a report signed by you which conveyed the im- pression to the minds of his hearers that you had carefully looked into the matters of the association and had found every- thing entirely satisfactory. Was that the impression you intended to convey to the stockholders in four report? Your usual prompt reply wifl oblige yours very truly, H. WEINSTOCK, Chairman of Committee of Stockholders. Mr. Fields’ reply was as follows: San Francisco, December 24, 1897. H. Weinstock Esq., Chairman Commit- tee of Stockholders Union Building and Loan Association, Sacramento, Cal.— Dear Sir: Yours of the 23d received ask- ing as to the impression I intended to convey by the certificate that I made to the report of the “Union” and read by the secretary. First, I did not give u certificate as “‘secretary” of this board; what I did sign was as a ‘“public account- ant,” for 1 never have and never wilt give a certificate as an official of this board. I was asked to come to Sacra- mento and make up the annual report fo. Mr. Alsip; I put in over fourteen hours on the work on the books, and at_the request of Mr. Stelnman and Mr. Dev- lin I made a certificate, as near as I can now recall, in the following form: “I have made an examination of the books and accounts of the Union Build- ing and Loan Association for the fiscal ear ending December 14, 1897, and find &em neatly and correctly kept and that all moneys received have been duly ac- counted for; the values of the shares have not been calculated, as these depend en- tirely on the value of the real estate owned which is subject to appraisement by a committee to be selected by your- selves, as per order of the Building and Loan Commissioners. “J. L. FIELDS, Public Accountant.” There had been rumors of a defalcation, had been properly entered and all payments had een made by defendant, drawn on the Treasurer and duly entered. Beyond this the certificate does not go, and if it was not read in full and as written it should have been so read, for I never intended otherwise and do not think that a correct reading of the certificate can convey such an impression; on the contrary, with the valuations that I placed on the property, I told Mr. Steinman, Mr. Devlin and Mr Alsip that I could see no wn% but for the assoclation to close from that day and go Into liquidation; still better judges oi the values of real estate than myself might put higher values on the property than I do, as I based my values mainly on my knowledge of the pro rata of the assessed values, as given by the county assessors to the market values and based on the figures given for the whole State, which are in possession of this office. On that idea I agreed as a representative of the Commissioners that the matter might rest till the annual meeting and that there should be a committes appointed by the shareholders and that an adjourn- ment should be had for three weeks and on their report the question of continu- 1n¥ or winding up should be determined. rusting that this may be a satisfac- tory explanation of my individual con- nection with the matter, I remain, yours very truly, J. FIELDS. It appears from Mr. Fields’ version of his employment that he was in no manner acting in an officlal capacity.

The note continues: “What happened was that the War Minister received two telegrams from Captain-General Blanco. The first described General Toral’s position, which was most pitiful, because of the want of provisions and am- munition. It also detailed the enemy’s proposals. second telegram Captain-General Blanco gave the terms of capitulation and requested instructions.

DELAY IN THE PLANNED ON ADVANCE PORTO RICO General Miles’ Departure Defer- red Owing to a Caution to Com- plete All Arrangements. and Navy departments are now en- gaged In making all of the arrange- | ments for the dispatch of the Porto; Rican expedition and Watson's east- | ern squadron. There has occurred one I | i ‘WASHINGTON, July 20.—The Warl of those natural pauses in the progress of the campaign, incident to the com- pletion of one set of operations. There being no possibility of the receipt of news of a great battle or of a surren- der, there was less excitement and less evidence of nervous strain than for weeks past. General Miles’ expected departure | was again deferred. The explanation | given was that there was difficulty ex- | pected at Santlago in securing the na- | val convoy for the expedition. It is | President himself has restrained Gen- eral Miles to the extent of adjuring | him in earnest terms not to commit the folly of starting for Porto Rico with- out the most complete preparation. The Government has profited by the lessons taught by the Santiago expedition. Aside from the actual loss ot life that | might be expected as the result from | a badly calculated start, it is realized that our relations with some of the European powers would be, in a small | measure at least, impaired by the ad- | verse moral effect created by anything | approaching a defeat for the American arms at this stage of the war. There- fore, it is certain that so far as the de- | partment can prevent, General Miles’ | forces will not be short of food or of tents to protect them from the tropi- cal rains, nor of the means for trans- portation that were so deficient at the beginning of the Santiago movement. General Miles reported this afternoon | that he had with him ten transports, which, it is presumed, have aboard sev- eral thousand soldiers, although at | least two of them are fitted with equip- ment. The men aboard ship are suf- fering from delay, precisely as did the | soldiers who lay in Tampa Bay before the departure of the Shafter expedition. Inquiry made at the Navy Department to ascertain where the delay had arisen in securing convoys was met with the statement that the orders to Admiral Sampson in this matter were very gen- | eral. He was simply directed by the department to furnish a convoy, and | it was assumed that he would confer | War Bepartment officials, with General Miles as to the number and character of vessels required for that purpose. As the campaign, from a naval point of view, is to be princi- pally a land movement, the naval of- ficers do not believe a very extensive voy is necessary. mnggrfling to the calculations at thve Navy Department, Admiral Dewey's fleet at Cavite should now be reinforc- ed by the coast defense vessel Mon}:e- rey, which, with the collier Brutus, has now been about twenty days out from Honolulu. With the addition of t}:x_ls fine and powerful monitor, Dewey will be amply able to take care of himself so long as the naval forces in the Philippin~s are maintaining the rela- tive proprortions they now occupy. Howeyer, the disclosure by the State Department of the lack of foundation for the sensational stories of strained relations with Germany has largely abated the anxiety entertained'at the Navy Department as to Dewey’'s posi- tion at Manila. The War Department was agreeably surprised at the number of bids receiv- ed in answer to its proposals for trans- porting the Spaniards now at Santiago to Cadiz. The terms offered by some of the companies were also regarded as very reasonable, and it is desirable to terminate the present condition of af- fairs at Santiago_at the earliest pos- sible moment. It is exnected the award will be made immediately. The bid from the Spanish Steamship Com- pany was a surprise to the department officials and at least ome of them thought that it might be ¢ood policy for the Government to avalil itself of its offer. Dr. Greenleaf’s last report to Secre- tary Alger from the American camp at Santiago came this aftern .n and was to the effect that while the yellow fever was widely spread among the troops, it was very mild in form. General Duf- fleld, who has been suffering from the disease, was reported to be improving yesterday. The open statement from the Cuban legation ‘here to-day, made to the that they were prepared to accept as proper the programme laid down by General Shaf- ter for the government of affairs at Santiago; is but a prelude, it is hoped, to instructions from that body to the Cuban generals in the field, General Gomez and others, that will tend to prevent a repetition of the conduct that has jeopardized the relations be- tween the American and Cuban sol- diers. At the same time a close inspection of his reply to Major Weinstock shows“ that he became convinced of certain ir- regularities, called the attention of the association officers to them, and then withheld that information from the stockholders. It also appears from his letter that he extended to the officers further time in which to adjust matters he discovered were wrong, and in so doing he was acting officially and not as a mere ‘‘public accountant.” The letter of Major Weinstock plainly shows -what the impression left by Mr. Fields’ report was in the minds of those to whorn it was made. Thomas Fox, in apealtfng of the impression con- veyed by Mr. Fields’ report to share- holders, said: “When we read the report and Mr. Fields said he had found things in a correct and satisfactory condition, we accepted it as such, and knowing that it came from an expert, and one who was officially connected with the board of commissioners which has the super- vision of our affairs as an association, we naturally thought that when he used the term ‘satisfactory’ he did so from every standpoint. As a matter of fact, things were in a most unsat- isfactory condition, and Mr. Fields should have so informed us.” There are many stockholders in Sac- ramento who believe that had Mr. Fields reported things as he undoubt- edly found them the very serious and deplorable wreck which followed might have been averted. In 1897 Mr. Fields made another report, which he men- tions in his letter to Major Weinstock. ‘While the terms used might have dif- fered in some respects from those em- ployed in his report of 1896, the impres- sion conveyed was the same, and he left the stockholders still in the dark concerning the true state of affairs. The question uppermost in the minds of many who have sustained loss by the recent failure of the Union Build- ing and Loan Association {s: Wherein does the official capacity of Mr. Ftelds | commence, and his employment as a ‘public accountant’ end? The line of distinction between the two has no |doubt been drawn by Mr. Fields, but those who have suffered from his si- |lence as an official, and his public dec- |larations as an accountant, do not un- derstand, and will never understand, | the discrimination. | FRICTION LIKELY TO ARISE Relations Between France and Hayti Decidedly Strained. PORT AU PRINCE, Hayti, July 20.— It is rumored here that some friction is likely to arise between France and the Haytien republic. In spite of the remonstrances and urgent demands of the French Minister the Haytien Gov- ernment_still refuses to abrogate the recent decrte of expulsion issued against Mme. Hermanle, a French sub- Jject, who was expelled as a person dan- gerous to public security shortly after her notorious collision in the cathedral with Mme. Simon Sam, wife of the President. The Government is much ir- ritated by certain articles damaging to Hayti that have recently appeared in the Matin, the Libre Parole, the Au- torite and other Parisian journals. At the dinner given by the President at the palace to-day to the members of the diplomatic corps the only foreign representative absent was the French Minister. The relations between the two governments are evidently much trained. e RS German Cruiser Returns to Manila.
