history deserve more universal com
mendation for its quiejr and harmo
nious organization, its discretion an,d
sudeese in operation and its loyalty
and consistent adherence to the prin
ciples utfjd object giving life to the
organization. Two powerful factors in
it are-the observance of organization,
loyalty and personal responsibility.
There has been every evidence in the
associatibD since its incipieccy of a
union aid harmony indicating that
each individual member, regardless of

CUBAN TREACHERY.
GENERAL GARCIA’S FORCES AT
TACK PRISONERS OF WAR.
General Miles May Reach Porto Rico
Today and Begin Hia Campaign
on the Island-
Washington, Joly 23—General
Miles is now east of Cape
bey nod the reach of cable station for
a day or two. Il is assumed by the
war department that all is well with
him, and that his flagship, the Yale,
with the remainder of the fleet, will
cast anchor tomorrow morning in the
waters of Porto Rico at‘the point se
lected for the debarkation.
Thus it may again happen that
Sunday, which has heretofore been so
lucky a day for American military and
naval operations during this war, will
be further distinguished asa day upon
which the Porto Rican campaign wi’.l
be initiated.
The pavy is now actively co operat
ing with the army in making a success
of Miles’ expedition, and will use ever,
effort to land bis troops Unfortunate
ly nearly all the available boats of
Sampson’s fleet were damaged, in
many cases beyond service, in making
the landing at Santiago, but it is ex
pected that their lose will not bo
severely felt now lighters have been
provided.
Dispatches from Santiago tell of a
fierce battle fought Thursday between
4,000 Cubans under General Garcia
and 5,000 Spaniards.
The Americans would not allow the
Cubans to wreak vengeance on the
Spaniards in Santiago,and the Cubans
determined to storm some other im
portant place and take possession of
it on their own account.
It was with this object in view that
General Garcia withdrew bis troops
from the American lines and refused
longer to act as an ally of General
Shafter. He decided to capture Hol
guin if possible, and to make that
place the Cuban headquarters for the
eastern department.
The Cubans and Spaniards met on'
the road between Santiago and Hol
guin. The Spaniards, it is said, had
been gathered from the fortified towns
in the vicinity and were proceeding to
Santiago under the terms of surrender
agreedto by General Toral.
Despite the information that these
Spaniards were a part of those includ
ed in General Toral’a surrender, Gens
eral Garcia is said to have ordered bis
troops to prepare to fight.
The Cubans quickly took the posi
tions to which they bad been assigned,
and the order to fire was passed along
the line
General Garcia had decided to at
tempt to carry the Spanish position
by assault, and his troops pressed for
ward when the word was given. Their
progress was firmly resisted at every
point by the Spaniards, who, after
several hours’ fighting, put the Cobans
to rout, with a loss of 41 killed and
many wounded. The Spanish suf
fered a smaller lose.
The story of battle and its disastrous
results has greatly excited the Cubans.
They are demanding vengeance and
cannot understand why the Americans
do pot annihilate their Spanish pris
oners of war.

Duty of The Government-
We submit that it is the duty of the
American government te look aflei
the indigent families of her soldiers
who are at the front fighting her
battles for her.
We submit further that instead of
paying the officers from 1125 to 1300
per mouth, and the soldier who bears
the hardships of all campaigns only
sl6 per month, that the rale should
be ehanged so as to make it fair and
just. Why not! The most economi
cal soldier is forced to spend some of
the money paid him for the necessities
that the government does not furnish.
This of course would pay but a small
moity to support an ordinary family.
Then lot the officers’ salaries be re
duced, and let them take their pay,
part money,part glory and the balance
in the good time they have, and pay
the private SSO per month, giving him
S2O and sending the balance to his
family. This policy will command
better soldiers, and make the people
happier.—Forsyth Chroniele.
