THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 1898. SHAFTER TELLS OF THE SITUATION AT SANTIAGO DE CUBA Throws New Light on His Controversy With Garcia, the Unreasonable Cuban L.eader. Colonel Wood Installed as Military Governor==The Health of Troops Improving Under Sani- Special cable to The Call and the New York | Herald. Copyrighted, 189, by James Gor- don Bennett SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 25 (via Playa del Este, July 26).—Major Gen- eral Willlam R. Shafter, commander of the American forces In the campaign against Santiago, to-day gave me for the Herald an interesting interview on the situation here. General Shafter throws much light on his controversy with General Calixto Garcla, the Cu- ban leader, and now makes public for the first time the fact that he and the Cuban general had some correspond- ence about their differences prior to the open break between them. “You may tell the Herald,” said Gen- eral Shafter when I called at the pal- ace in which he is now comfortably sit- uated, “that the situation in Santiago s much improved. Twenty thousand Spanish soldiers in the province of San- tiago have laid down their arms, leav- Ing less than 5000 to be accounted for. I hope all the Spanish army will have been accounted for by the end of the week, so that the work of loading troops on the transports will be over as soon as possible and the campaign in the province be brought to a close. “Colonel Wood has been installed as military governor, with full power to act as circumstances may warrant. If occasion should arise, it would be a simple matter for him to suspend oper- ation of the existing civil government and Institute a military dictatorship. It is unlikely, however, that any diffi- tary Reforms. culty will be met. The people of Santi- | ago are quiet ayd orderly and they seem delighted that the campalgn is | over. They have been cooped long that whatever regret they may feel is overbalanced by the compensa- | tion of peace. In the country many of the Spanish troops have gone to work, while here in Santiago, as you can see | for yourself, business has been resum- | ed. Food is coming in more liberally | and in another week there should be plenty for all. The health of the city | is much better than I had anticipated, | yet there is a great deal of sickness and constant care will be required to | prevent the spread of disease in the army. Our troops have withstood the | great ravages of fever and the great discomforts of the heavy rains. They are remarkably well. The sanitary re- forms which are now being instituted will, T think, improve the health of the | community in general. ““As to the political situation, I have | | little to add to what already is known. | I regret that General Garcia should | feel offended because he was not per- | mitted to be a signatory party to the | Spanish surrender. In a letter to him, | written in reply to his protests, I made | it plain that the ceremony of surrender and retention of Spanish municipal of- | ficers and tariff duties must be treated as temporary measures, quite apart from the final purpose of the United States in Cuba. I told General Garcia that we were at war with Spain; that we would be held responsible before | the world for the treatment of the sur- rendered territory, and pending con- | ion of the war the Cubans could not reasonably expect the recognition up so ’ made good. which he sought. At the proper time, I added, the terms of the President’s proclamation undoubtedly would be The letter was personal and very friendly in tone, but General Garcla made no reply to it. The next news I heard of him was thut he had withdrawn with his army to Holguin, near the north coast. “The fact is I did recognize General Garcia as far as I could by inviting him to be present at the surrender of Santiago as my guest. He declined to come, sending this message: ‘I cannot be your guest under the Spanish flag.’ “I have the most kindly feeling for General Garcia and sincerely regret that he has cause for complaint. It is idle, however, to argue the point, for no matter how warmly one may sym- pathize with the Cubans, the proposi- tion to install them in power imme- diately after the surrender of the Span- ish is untenable and lacks support among the Cubans themselves.” The palace in which General Shafter is nuartered is a large and roomy though somewhat antiquated building, facing the plaza. General Shafter to-day in- spected the city on horseback, being accompanied only by two members of his staff. He was well received along the route, but there were no cheers. General Shafter is a strict disciplina- rian, and he is rapidly bringing several branches of the army into one cohe- sive body, capable of coping with any | situation that may arise. The commis- sariat is much improved. A railroad will be opened to-morrow and troops removed to Woodland. Transports are unloading as rapidly as possible and are awaiting orders from | ‘Washington.

AFTER: TWO HUGE PONTOONS PLANS TO FLOAT THE COLON AND TERESA. ‘Will Put the Wrecking Company to Work, and Then -if Occasion | Requires Will Rejoin the | Fleet. | Special Dispatch to The Call. BOSTON, July 26.—Just before the train left, Lieutenant Hobson said to | The Call correspondent: “I go to New ‘ York and then directly back to the fleet. I have found here two 200-ton pontoons belonging to the Boston Tow- | boat Company. This fact I simply re- | port to the department. You know | my friends are al. talking for me, and | what they haven't said it would be hard to say. I came to Boston solely on business, and my stay here was just as brief as I could 'make it. Of course, I would like to spend a little time in | this interesting city, where I have been received so kindly, but Government business necessitates expeditious work here and a quick return to Washing- ton, “I went to the office of the Boston | Towboat Company and consulted them | in regard to obtaining two large pon- toons which it is proposed to use in connection with the raising of the Colon and Maria Teresa. These pon- toons have a lifting capacity of about 800 tons each and I expect to get them without any trouble and start for San- | tlago in a couple of days. “Our plan is to run the pontoons, | which have great buoyant power, | alongside at low tide and sink them. | ‘They will then be fastened to the ship by chains and pumped out at high | water.

It will be a matter of lifting 7000 tons to get her off. Structurally, she is all right and was foundered by the removal of her sea | cocks and Kinkston valves. She is ly- ing on a reef with her bows wedged in between two coral reefs, and I feel cer- tain we can save her. Of the Maria Teresa, I have hopes that she cai saved as well as the Colon. “As to my future plans, I really do ———— ADVERTISEMENTS. Pears’ What virtue there is in bare cleanliness!

MADISON, Wis., July 26.—E. Benja- min Andrews, recently elected Super- intendent of Schools of Chicago, in his address before the Winoma Lake As- sembly, spoke on “European Politics.” He predicted a great European war in the near future, into which the United States would be dragged, If it did not g0 in of its own accord. He described | the strengthening of the fortifications and preparations for war in every country in Europe. “You may ask what force in Europe preserves peace in Europe,” he said. “This peace force is the money power, interests are entirely opposed to war. There are large numbers of people, intelligent, thoughtful people, who believe that a general war would kill off enough of solve the labor question. Those who were left could be paid larger wages and live on a higher plane. “It is interesting to consider which nation of Europe would benefit most by a general European war. That na- aln.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 26— General Shafter and Senor Ros, Civil Governor of Santiago, have had a seri- ous clash over the Governor's officlous officials. General Shafter undid the Governor's work, sharply rebuked him, and finally called him a ‘presuming rascal.” As a result of this heated Interview Senor Ros announces that he will re- sign. The Cubans are highly indignant over General Shafter's action. Owing to the fact that censorship has been lifted, I am able to give the full detalls of this latest phase of the situ- ation here. In fact, this is the first unscored dispatch to be sent from Santiago. Senor Ros, with the idea of trimming his sails to suit Cubans, who, he be- lieves, will eventually possess the city, had been making wholesale removals of Spanish officials and replacing them with Cubans of the extreme type. He | had been carrying on these proceedings without the knowledge of General Shaf- ter. His policy was at variance with that of the commander of the Ameri- can forces, who desires to preserve or- der in the city while he gradually insti- tutes a new government. Three members of the Institute of Justice—Senors Barraco, Vila and Riestra—called upon General Shafter yesterday afternoon and said that in view of President McKinley’s guaran- tee that the rights of the Spanish resi- dents were to be protected they wished to protest against the high-handed manner in which the Civil Governor had removed Spaniards from office. They informed General Shafter that Senor Ros had sent communications to the Spanish officials whom he had dis- missed, telling them that they had been removed upon the order of General Shafter. General Shafter immediately summoned the Governor before him. “Is it true,” demanded General Shaf- ter, “that you have dismissed these of- ficials in my name “Yes,” replied Senor Ros, ‘“‘they are Spaniards, and I understood that all such were to be removed.” “Your action, sir,” said General Shaf- ter, “‘was totally unauthorized. You've no right whatever to use my name. In any case, you should not have taken such a step on your own responsi:ility. and unauthorized dismissal of Spanish | AND GOVERNOR ROS HAVE A CLASH Civil Executive of Santiago Sharply Rebuked by the Commander. ® Had Been Making Wholesale Re- movals of Officials on His Own Responsibility. Do not let the thing occur again. You're a presuming rascal.” Senor Ros returned shortly afterward with the resignations of the high court justice, consisting of the president, four magistrates, three attorney generals and two secretaries. The officials said that as loyal subjects of the King of Spain they could not perform their functions undér the authority of an enemy of Spain and could not take an oath acknowledging the supremacy of the United States. General Shafter was exceedingly in- dignant when he saw the resignations were directed to the civil governor through whom the court usually trans- acts {ts business. General Shafter strongly objected to such course and said the resignations should be made to him direct, as Senor Ros had nothing whatever to do with the matter. The court is closed until new appointments are made. Senor Ros says he will resign to- day. His dismissal of the Spanish offi- cials had caused the Cubans to feel considerable elation. Since the offi- clals have been reinstated the Cubans seem ripe for anything. A meeting was held last night at the San Carlos Club when it was resolved to send a com- munication to President McKinley pro- testing against the action of General Shafter. Although General Garcia has with- drawn into the interior, a few of the insurgents still linger near the city. General Demetrius Tillo, with Brebece and two hundred Cubans, is just out- side the city walls, awaiting the action of the American administration when Spanisp prisoners are deported. Gen- eral Castillo was appointed military governor of Santiago by General Gar- cia, and declares he has the right to enter the city. Dr. Joaquin Castillo, brother of the general, who is in the city, said to me the Cubans were much disappointed and disgusted at the ac- tion of General Shafter prohibiting Cu- ban troops from entering the city. “We have,” he said, ‘‘carried on this war for three years. We have borne the toils and hardships and brunt of the fight. Now that it is partly won we are treated worse than the Spaniards, our common enemy. We see Spaniards parading the streets clad in the uni- form of Spain and filling lucrative po- sitions, while our troops suffer hard- ships and privations in the interfor. We see men bitterly opposed both to Cu- bans and Americans still retaining posts of honor under the pretense of preventing a cessation of the machin- ery of the civil government.” very strong effect upon President Mc- Kinley. The authorities were totally unaware, before this appeal was made, of existing conditions. It heretofore has been impossible to send supplies | into such large cities as Cienfuegos, but President McKinley,in case peace prop- ositions do not prevail, will now direct that Cienfuegos be captured as soon as possible after the fall of San Juan. President McKinley, I understood, this morning laid the proposition of capturing Cienfuegos before the Secre- taries of the Navy and War. They were asked to carefully consider the advisability of taking the place. Of course, no move will be made against Cienfuegos or any other port on the Cuban coast until after the sur- render of San Juan. The officlals with whom I have talked are of the opinion that the navy would have little dif- ficulty In forcing the authorities of Cienfuegos to surender. The great dif- ficulty would be the occupation of the city after its capture. It would not be wise to send any troops not immunes to Cienfuegos until after the rainy sea- son has ended in Cuba. The proposition, as it now stands, is to have the American navy force the surrender of Cienfuegos as soon as pos- sible after the Porto Rican campalgn. Food and other supplies could then be sent to Cienfuegos and distributed among the suffering people now in that city. It would net require a very large body of troops to garrison that city, and in all probability the Govern- ment would order two of the immune regiments for such service.

Sutcliffe; one against Joseph and Dora Landgraff, and one z!galnst Jesse E. Bundy, Lottle Bundy and Henry Mason.

When she learned about Ripans Tabules, she found that they always relieved her decidedly, and her attacks are now much less frequent than they used to be. ‘She continues to make use of the Tabules when occasion arises, but she says that now one or two will not produce the effect they did in the beginning.
