GARCIA NOW
WITHOUT A
COMMAND
Shatter Incifient leads to His Removal at

General Gomez.
HIS SUCCESSOR WAS NAMED
Rodriguez to Command in
Santiago.
Garcia's Sending of His Famous Letter
to Shatter a Grave Breach of Dis
cipline Cuban Leaders to Hold
a Conference.
New York, Aug 31. A Santiago spe
cial says:
General Garcia has been relieved of
his command by General Gomez, actiDg
under instructions from the provincial
government. This is owing to disap
proval of his action daring the Shatter
incident, and in view of the fact that
Garcia is persona non grata to the
American government, and that at the
commencement of the war the Cuban
officers were ordered to put themselves
under orders of the American command
ers, and therefore the letter from Garcia
to Shatter is considered a breach of dis
cipline. Garcia's resignation is not accepted,
but he is relieved of his command. Gen
eral Rodriguez, commanding the east
under General Gomez, will be his suc
cessor. A courier to General Lawton this
morning confirms the news that General
Lacrete will arrive this afternoon from
Santa Cruz with dispatches from Gene
ral Gomez to General Lawton. The sub
stance is unknown.
Colonel Ray, of the Third regiment of
immunes, reports from Guantanamo
that the Cubans there, consisting of two
battalions, intimated their intention of
entering the town and displaying the
Cuban flag. Colonel Ray said that Gu
antanamo is United States territory and
that he would look upon this action as
hostile and call out his men. Then the
Cubans said that the reaeon of their pro
posed entrance was the report that the
Spanish prisoners in the town would
rise and sacrifice the Americau garrison,
and they finally concluded by asking for
4000 rations.
A courier has arrived from General
Castillo with the report that the gover
nor of Porto Principe has offered to
march out, giving up the town to the
Cubans, if supplied with one thousand
head of cattle, four hundred carts and
eight hundred oxen to transport the
supplies to Havana. The Cubans re
ceived this information after the notifi
cation of peace.
General Castillo has been advanced in
the brigade to the general division of
war, and was to go by steamer today to
San Juan to meet Garcia at Gibara, but
it was learned that he had left there for
Jiguani.
A conference will be held at Santa
Ana. Preliminaries will be arranged
for the delegates to go to Camaguez to
attend the election of the new Cuban
government.
THE OLIVETTE
GOES DOWN
An Unaccountable Accident in the Har
bor at Fernandina, Florida, This
Morning.
Fernandina, Fla., Aug. 31. The hos
pital shik Olivette, which baa been ly
ing near the quarantine station, through
some mysterious agency, eand this
morning abont 7 :50.
Aboard the ship was the hospital corps
of thirty-five and a crew of forty-five
persons, all of whom escaped without
injury, but in scanty attire. The roust
abouts sleeping in the lower hold had a
narrow escape, bing driven from their
bunks like so many rats.
Fortunately for thoee on board there
was a schooner clo3e by, and some of
them took shelter on her, while the rest
of the corps and crew sought refuge at
the quarantine station.
No one apparently knows how the ca
lamity could have occurred, and as no
investigation has been made the matter
is and probably always will remain a
mystery.
The Olivette belonged to the Plant
line of steamers, and was built in Phila
delphia in 18S7. She was 274 feet long,
35 Jeet beam, II 2i feet deep, and regis
tered 1G11 gross and 1105 net tonage.
RECIPROCITY
WANTED
Boston Chamber of Commerce Passes
Resolutions Favoring Establish
ment of Closer Trade Relations
With Canada.
Boston, Aug. 31. At a special meet
ing of the Boston chamber of commerce,
for the purpose of considering ways and
means to bring about closer trade re
lations with Canada, resolutions were
adopted to the effect that the chamber
reaffirmu its position as set forth in
resolutions adopted January 1, 18'JS, in
favor of reciprocal trade relations es
tablished between the United States
and the Dominion of Canada, and the
colony of Newfoundland. It was as
serted that in the opinion of its mem
bers the commercial, manufacturing and
industrial prosperity of this country will
be greatly promoted by the nearest prac
tical approach that can be obtained to
the establishment of complete reciprocal
trade relations between the United
States, Canada and Newfoundland.
It was resolved that the chamber com
mittee on reciprocal trade with Canada
be instructed to present these resolu
tions to the American commissioners at
Quebec, and to reinforce them with such
argument in accordance with their spirit
as may seem best adapted to convince
the commissioners of the feasibility of
the plan.
NONE OF THEM
ARE STARVING
Proprietors on Teslin Trail Have Plenty
of Provisions.
Ottawa, Ont., Aug. 32. A report was
published in many United States pa
pers recently that some three thousand
Americans were starving " to death on
the trail between TelegrafF creek and
Teslin Lake.
The United States government asked
the Canadian government to investigate
the matter. This has been done and a
report received Baying only 1500 people
altogether are on the trail, and that all
of them are well supplied with pro
visions. There is, therefore, no foun
dation to the report, and the Washing
ton government will be so informed.

Speech Which Was Made By
" Prof. Gardner.
Nation that Controls the Commerce of
the Pacific Will Control the Trade
of the World.
Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 31. At today's
session of the American Social Sciencs
Association, the principle address was
delivered by Charles A. Gardiner, A. M.,
Ph. D., counsel fo the elevated rail
roads ot New York City. The subject
of the addrees was, "The Proposed
Anglo-American Alliance."
siMr. Gardiner spoke of the tendency to
national concentration in the present
age, declaring that already three nations,
Russia, Great Britain and America,
comprising two races of people, the
Slavic and Anglo-Saxon, practically
dominate the world. He spoke of the
continual aggression that has for more
than eight centuries marked the policy
of Kussia and has spread her sovereignty
over areas in Europe and Asia too vast
almost for human conception. Against
this aggression, he said, Great Britain
has admitted that she can, unaided by
some other great power, make no suc
cessful opposition. Attention at the
present moment, he said, is directed to
the Kusso-British contest for supremacy
in China. At this critical moment, he
says, the possibility of an alliance with
America, through consideration of her
interests in the Philippines, is seemingly
Great Britain's only hope of triumph.
KEEP THEIR
RECORD CLEAR
Silvenites Refuse to Enter the Spanish
Peace Commission.
Madrid, Aug. 31. Senor Siivela, now
the virtual leader of the largest section
of the conservative party, in a confer
ence with Senor Sagasta, the premier,
today, in regard to the personnel of the
Spanish peace commission, persisted in
his refusal to allow any member of. bis
party to attend to commission. After
the conference, Siivela said to a number
of newspaper correspondents :
"How can we now be expected to
ehare the grave responsibilities of con
cluding peace and expose ourselvas to
the discredit that may result therefrom?
If we are to succeed the liberals in pow
er, we must be free."
An official dispatch to Havana de
scribes the attitude of the Cuban insur
gents as completely pacific. General
Blanco, who is indisposed, is about to
go into the interior for some days.
ONE UNFRIENDLY JOURNAL.
London Saturday Review Continues
Its Attack on Americans.
New York, Aug. 31. The London
Saturday Review, which recently said
that Chauncey M. Depew was a "painted
puppet and a snob," expresses the views
quoted below, which candid expression
is being quoted in English financial and
other newspapers averse to American
interists embarked in this country:
"There are, of course, many worthy
private persons in the United States,

CLASH SEEMS
VERY IMMINENT
Strikers Determine to Prevent, By Force
If it Should Prove Necessary, the
Working of Mines.
Paxa, 111., Aug. 31. The situation in
regard to the miners' strike in this dis
trict has assumed an acute stage. 'Op
erators are bringing in Southern negroes

tection of deputy eherifTd.
Fully six thousand miners from other
sections are expected tomorrow to join
the iocked out union men in the endeav
or to prevent, if possible, the operation
of the mines.

move was only stayed after hours of per
suasion and pleading by the officers of
the union.

PACIFIC CABLE
RECOMMENDED
It Is Thought a Wise Move By the Wel
lington Committee on Legislation
Proportion of the Cost.
Wellington, N. Z.. Aug. 31. The re
port of the committe on legislation just
issued recommends the joining of the
Australian colonies with Canada and
the mother country by a Pacific cable on
the basis that if Canada and Great Brit
ain together would guarantee five-ninths
of the cost of the work, New Zeland and
the reet of the colonies would contribute
the remaining four-ninths, of which
amount New Zjland will furnish one-ninth.
