CUBA GRIEVES DEEPLY OVER
GENERAL GARCIA'S DEATH.

of Cuban Leaders, and the Loss la
Keenly Felt at Washington.
NEW YORK. Dec li-A dispatch to tho
Tribune from Havana aays:
Call x to Garcia' death at thl critical
period 1 a lose for both Cuba and the
United State.
Tb Cubans ar today too much excited
over the killing of two of their number
on Sunday night by Spanish officer and
soldiers to appreciate It significance,
though their grief wa deep. Tho larger
part of tho Insurgent army had a strong
affection for Garcia. Commanders who
ar In 'control of the forces around Ha
vana appreciate that their task Is very
greatly increased by Garcia'a death.
Wtetber the commission In Washington
la successful or not, In arranging a loan
with which to pay the insurgent troops,
Garcia waa the loader to whom all were
looking for guidance. Ha hod shown
unexpected strength In controlling the
radical element at the Santa Crua as
sembly and having placed himself at the
head of the commission to visit Washing
ton, ho had also impressed upon the In
surgent that they must not antagonixe
Amerloun control. HI Influence was de
cided and his wishes were respected.
Garcia waa ambitious and he wa
known to be looking forward to becoming
tho president of the Cuban republic but
be ahowed himself a politician in the
best sense of the word.

NEW YORK. Dec. H.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington ays:
It I tba opinion of leading member
of tb a-lmlnlstratlcn still in the city

In thl connection the names of Binger
Hermann, commissioner of the general

tho In trior Webster Davis are being con
of theeo ana personal
friends of the president and have given
excellent service to tho party.
For geographical reasons it is thought
that Herman' chances are the better.
There la no repwsontatlon In the cabinet
from th Paclflo coast, and on account
of the vote of Oregon in the recent elec
tions, It la thought highly probable that
tho president will oo titer tho oflice of

Bexrty Reception.
ATLANTA, Dee 14-President McKInley
mad memorable tbe first day of the At
lanta peace jubilee by a notable utterance
In bl speech before lb joint session of
tb Georgia legislature this afternoon.
His reception by th general assembly
was warm and hearty in tbe extreme
and bl speech waa punctured with fre
quent outburst of cheering. It Is ad
mitted on aB aide that the address
marked an epoch in history and 1 to
night on every Up.
Upon tbe president' arrival at th capL
; tot he was greeted with a field artillery
I salute and waa at once escorted to Gover-
nor Candlof office. There waa a short,
' Informal reception there. Upon It con-
clustoo, the president, followed by th
members of the cabinet, wa conducted
J to the assembly chamber, where he occu
' pied the speaker' chair, with Governor
' Candler on his right
j During tbe ;ours of his short speech
McKirJey referred often to his notes, and
j constantly paused for the cheer to stop.
, A scene of Intense enthusiasm followed
' when, amid an Impressive alienee, the
I words fell from the lip of.thb ptesl
I dent:
J "Every soldier's grav made during the
I unfortunate civil war is a tribute to
i American valor. And, while, when theKe
graves were made, we differed widely
about the future of tbe government, these
differences were long ago settled by the
arbitrament of arms and the time baa
now come in the evolution of aentlment
and feeling, under the province of God,
when. In a spirit of fraternity, we should
share with you in the care of the graves
of Confederate soldiers."
A wtkl cheer went up from every throat
in the typical southern audience, a cheer
that reechoed throughout the chamber
until It waa taken up by tbe crowda
ou tilde. Old men who fought for the
south rose from their seats and waved
their bats. One Confederate veteran, now
a venerable legislator, had pressed for.
ward until he was leaning against tbo
speaker's desk, hanging oo every word
the president uttered. When reference
was made to the Confederate dead, this
old man buried hls'beud in his arms and.
while cheers rang out. cried like a child.
Of -all the many conciliatory speech
which have been made since Grant said
"Let there be peace," nothing has more
deeply stirred a southern audience then
j the wmplt word of President llcKinicy
this afternoon. No sooner had President
McKinley . concluded before there were
loud cries for Wheeler, and, when that
little man got up. his head scarcely
higher than the speaker's desk, the audi
ence once more gave vent to wild enthusi
asm. General Wheeler referred eulogls
ticuily to tbe efforts of the president to
ward preserving peace as long as the
country's honor would permit auch efforts,
and of his masterful pulley after war
waa Inevitable.
CHRISTMAS TURKEYS FOR
THE CUBAN SOLDIERS.
Plenty of Turkeys and Cranberries to Bo
Shipped in Cold Storage in Time
for Their Christmas Dinner.
NEW YORK. Dec 14,-The United
Statea soldier In Cuba and Porto Rico
will not lack for good things for their
Christmas dinner.
Col. C A. Woodruff, assistant commis
sary of subsistence, will forward to them
by the steamer Mississippi, which sails,
at noon today, for Santiago and Ponoe,
W.flW pounds f prime turkey and 1000
pounds of fresh cranberries, which should
reach them In plenty of time for their
faraway holiday celebration. The bird
will bo shipped in cold storage and will
reach tha company cooks In aa good con
dition as though they had been bought
oft the Washington market stands and
they probably will not cost them a much
either. i , 1 ;
Col. Woodruff said that If the govern
ment had not taken thla action, tho
soldiers would probably not have been
abla to get turkey for Christmas for
love or money. It will be an additional
treat, too, because the men did not got
any turkey for Thanksgiving. This was
not because Col. Woodruff did not think
of It, but the weather was warmer then
and cold storage facilities which have
sine been introduced In the Islands, were
not In operation.
The Mississippi will also carry hundreds
of private boxes of good things sent by
Individual friends of the officers and men
as reminder that they are not forgotten
at home at thla Joyous season.

fore the Upper House.
WASHINGTON. Dec 11-Th bouse to
day, for the second time during thl con.
greae, refused to consider th Lodge Im
migration bill.
An Interesting, but brief, debate on rules
wa precipitated during the session, by
Grow, of PennsyWania, during which "Da
Armond made a speech on th decadence
of the privilege of debate In the bouse,
and held Speaker Raed responsible for the
fact that tbe house had bad no opportun
ity to adopt a new system of rules at this
session.
Tb speaker replied with a sarcastlo
speech. In which he referred to the com
plaints of John Randolph from the early
days of the century, to show that tha
same remonstrance were made then that
were being beard today. Toe speaker,
from the chair, replied to De Armond'
criticism as follow:
;Th gentleman from Missouri ha per-
Written, hisaseli to mak slateanent la re
gard to the relations between th (peaker
and other member of the committee oa
rule that, I am happy to atate, are not
justified by the facta. The bouse must
not feel Itself to have been treated to an
unusual discourse on the lack of liberty
given to a cttlxen. It o happen in thl.
world thM there are many cltlxena. It
ao happen that In the house of repre
sentatives there are many members, and x
that, while In theory every man can oo -cupy
all the time In discourse, in actual
practice ae haa to ocupy It In subjection
to tbe rights of, every other member, to -the
right of tbe body Itself, and to tbe -prosecution
of public buslners. In actual
practice, also, the bouse may have noticedi
that, however much despotism Is exer-
deed by the rule, there Is no subject ln.i
the heaven above, or In the earth be
neath that has not been discussed, even
in thla present oongreas, (laughter).
"Now, If the gentleman from Missouri
will turn to the annals of congress, away
back in ISIS, during a period of liberty
such as he thinks be desires, he will flnd
that John Randolph, who certainly waa
heard enough of to become famoua for
a century, waa 'complaining about the
despotism of the rules at that period,
and was also complaining that the arch
inquln itor himself would h.ive been satis

you see that human nuiurc Is the same
