Or. Friday last Castillo, brother of General Demetrius Castillo, went io General Shatter's headquarters in order to ascertain the cause of this, to the Cubans, inexplicable resolution. “Why is Santiago -to remain In the hands of our enemies?” he asked. “The Span iards are not our enemies,” replied Shatter.

Castillo, who came direct from Gar cia's camp, did not attempt to conceal his chagrin. The Cuban soldiers now fully realize that there is a rising senti ment against them in the army. They hear nothing but words of scorn from our men as they pass onward lugging their bacon and hardtack Into the woods. Kven our officers no longer conceal their disgust for their aliles und it is understood the wiarnt friendship displayed toward them at first is now turned into con tempt, for the Cubans have neither fought nor worked. Tbe correspondent of the Associated Presp who sends this dispatch saw n group of Cubans refuse point blank to aid in building roads, and during the two day* of heavy fighting while they were loitering in the road our surgeons sought in vain to secure assistance front them even to cut poles for im provised litters for our wounded. Hun dreds of such instances are being told around the camp fires until the name of the Cuban is usually wreathed with camp profanity and very rarely is a kind word spoken of them. In fact, in some quartets, the-e is a disposition to prophesy an early col lision between our forces and the Cu bans. Gen. Shatter yesterday sent an invitation to Garcia to attend the cere mony of raising the American (lag over Santiago, but the Cuban general showed resentment by sending a reply which amply confirmed the course ■ which he and bis ragged ignorant sol diers took during the week’s hard fight ing. He declined the invitation, said he hated tbe Spaniards and added that be id not want to be where any of them ! were. “Strife” Tonight Don’t forget “Strife" tonight.

Bad Boys frlv« the Soldiers Their Only Trouble. The Spaniards Are Not Worried Over the Situation. Santiago Harbor. July 18, via Kings ton, July 19. —Santiago Is now a city of sltznea. The American flag waves over the military headquarters on Morro's flagstaff and Bed Cross emblems are as plentiful as church spires. Almost the entire ropdlatioii are gathered ahold the wharves where tbe Span ish shipping. nqW friges of the United Stales Is boon he augmented by the large fleet of transports flying the Anieticrn colors. Some stoces, most.y for the sale of liquor or drugs, are open, but the patrons are few. Beggars arc in evidence and art of the same importunate sort which make Havana unpleasant for foreign ers. Now aud then a man or woman of the better class begs the corresyimd i nls for "milk for my little one in tho name of God.” At the dock where the Red Cross steamer State of Texas ib unloading and preparing for a long stay o guard from the Ninth Infantry lias been mounted, hut the soldiers bad litle trouble except from the in roads of bad boys, indigenous to sea port cities. There is no evidence of gloom on the faces of the Spanish mou and women. These mercurial people are already laughing and are pleased at the military and naval show and at the i respect of getiuig food other than rice and salt meats. Nearly ail tha- bi**ier class of houses are c-osed Tbe residents evidently have not tv*, turned from El Caney and other suiv burban places to which they fled on star of the bombardment.
