‘ Garcia Sends Report.
New York, Aug. 25.—The following
report from General Garcia has been
received at the Cuban junta. The re-
port was addressed to President. .T.
Estrada Palma: .. -
Gibara, August 3.
On the '16th of July I held the last
conference with the American._.Gen_eral
Shaftem He informed me that the Am-
erican troops had captured Santiago. de
Cuba.
Aware that my troopsawere no lon-
ger needed in that vicinity, while they
were needed very much in other places
still occupied by the enemy, I so in-
formed General Shatter. . .
He asked me to delay my departure
two or three days, which I did. .
Starting on the 20th, toward Holquln,
by way of Jiguani, I am' at present
with my general headquarters in the
town of Gibara, where I arrived on July
80th. .
On the 29th, while encamped in San
Pedro Cacocun, I learned that General
L‘uque had evacuated this town and
that General Luis de Ferla, with the
troops under him, had occupied it. The
Spanish left in the hospitals over six
hundred sick and wounded, whom I
have provided with beef.
There is perfect orderin the town.
New authorities have been elected and
everything. is working regularly.
The United States steamship Nash-
ville was in the harbor when I entered.
I requested its commander «to ask his
government to open this port to freight
commerce, or with the United States
at least, for there is a great scarcity
of provisions.
The Spanish took away everything
they could. . _
Gener’al Luque is in Holguin, with
tyvelve thousand menjnd twenty-four
cannon, and I am trying to force him
out, though I can only count on four
«thousand-men and four cannon with
which «to fight him.
Volunteers and gueril-las are daily
joining us. About fifteen hundred have
already joined us, and if it continues
the Spanish army will soon be dissolv-
ed.
Mayari, Fraybeni-to, Jururio and J an-
diaga are garrisoned by our army. The
first of these towns was evacuated on
' e 22d of July, leaving one hundred
ck and wounded that we are caring
for in the hospital. ,
When the Spaniards left Mayari we
defeated them, capturing their convoy,
consisting of 300 rifles, 150,200 Reming- 1
ton and Mauser cartridges, two can-
nons, with ammunition for them, and
provisions and clothing.
They suffered severe losses, not many .
arriving at Holguin. i
,I have received propositions for the
surrender of Maynzan'illa under condi-
tions which I have refused to accept.
Very soon all my department will be
free from the dominion of Spain.

' The department is deluged with in-
quiries as to {how soon these naval mi-
litiamen ca return home; ' .
The let-te come not only from rela-
‘tives, but from business firms, who say
that as the war is over they want their
clerks to return to duty. These influ-
ences have been aided by pressure tram
senators and congressmen, and the den
mrtment feels some satisfaction in
stating that all the men will be releas-
ed by September 1, except those on four
of the old monitors.
The Incas has discharde her men of
the Boston Naval militia at Boston.
The Restless, with men from the New

the monitor Manhattan, and the men
on the Nantucket also are being let”
off. .
The four old monitors will be the last
to release their men, mainly from Mas-
sachusetts and Maine, this delay being
due to the necessity of sending tugs
to convoy the monitors to the League
island navy yard, Philadelphia.
Orders have been given for the two
triple screw cruisers Columbia. and

vice in the operations in the West In-
dies, to go into “reserve” at 'the League

in its recent refusal to permit ,tlhe es-

on a suspicion that the United States
intended it as an initiative in territo-
[rial acquisition on that island.
