Three Cubans Killed, One Wounded
and One Spaniard Wounded.
CUBANS WAFT THEATEE3 CLOSED
On Account of Gareta's IMtb One
Theater Refuiied and the Riots Fol
lowed Cuptaln General Charges Cu
ban Conspiracy.
Havana. Dc. 13. Three Cubans were
killed and one Spanish officer and two
Cubans were wounded Sunday night
In an affray between some Spanish of
ficers oft duty and a number of citizens
and a party of Cubans who wished to
close the Tacon theater on account of
the death of General Callxto Garcia at
Washing-ton. The Spanish troops on
duty intervened and restored order.
After the news of General Garcla's
death spread through Havana the Cu
bans wished to have all the places of
amusement closed. They succeeded In
closing two places frequented by Cu
bans, but the management of the Tacon
theater, where there were many Bpan
Ith officers among the audience, re
fused to close the house. Thereupon
Allegretto, a former captain of insur
gent troops, got Into an excited argu
ment with the manager of the theater,
ond Allegretto was escorted to the side
walk by the police on duty. There
Allegrette entered into a heated dis
cussion with a Spanish officer, who
struck him across the face with the
Hat of his sword.
Then there was a collision between
the Cubans and the Spanish military
men, more blows were struck on both
sides, and many persons from tho cafes
and park cheered for Spain ami
brought crowds of people to the spot
from adjacent streets and squares.
Suddenly a shot was fired, whether by
a Cuban or a Spaniard, Intentionally or
accidentally, cannot be said, and the
Cubans retreated Into the Hotel Ingla
terra. More phots were fired on both
sides, and Arturo Tuzet, a French
citizen born In Havana, was shot and
ferlously wounded while sitting at a
table.
More shots were fired, and the Cu
bans ran through the hotel office and
made their way upstairs. Jesus Soto
longo, a Cuban, fell wounded on the
stairs, and another wounded man broke
Into the room occupied by Lieutenant
Fltzhugh Lee, son of the famous gen
eral and former consul here, demand
ing protection.
General Grene and several mombers
of his staff, who had been out on a
balcony watching the crowd heard the
uproar In the hotel and went Into the
corridor. So soon as the Spanish of
ficers saw General Greene, who was In
uniform, they stopped the pursuit of
the Cubans, saluted and retired. In
the meantime Eustaqulo Lemus had
been fatally wounded In the streets,
and Pedro Rlesa and Senor Jimlnes had
been killed.
At the time the Cubans and pursuing
Spaniards ran through the Hotel In-
glaterra General Humphreys was In the
lobby talking to Major Martin, of Gen
eral Greene's staff, and other gentle
men. A bullet shattered a mirror near
which they stood and two others splin
tered ths staircase. General Julio 9ai-
gullly was sitting at a table In the
lobby. The violent scenes In the office
and on the stairs lasted, however, for
a few minutes only.
It Is reported that In addition to
those killed and wounded who have
been previously mentioned 14 are belnt?
cared for In private bouses. Three ar
rests were made.
A few minutes after the shooting In
the hotel frightened patrons and Cu
bans gathered around General Oreene,
asking if he would protect them. He
assured them that he believed they
were safe, hut the only recognized au
thority In Havana was the Spanish ex
ecutive. He then sent messengers to
General Castellanos to inquire what
was being done to preserve order. The
latter replied thnt the cafes had been
ordered closed and the stroets cleared,
while troops In sufficient numbers to
keep tho pence had been posted In the
squares and thoroughfares.
Captain General Castellanos accuses
the Cuban General Jose Sangullly and
Jnse Lacret of a plot to rreato an up
rising and seize the city at a time when
the Spanish garrison Is greatly weaken
ed and before the American troops have
arrived In numbers sufficient to enforce
order. He declares that the riot of
Sunday night was provoked by San
gullly and Lacret. and he Issued di
rections yesterday for their arrest.
Sangullly and I.ncret promptly appeal
ed to the Tlrltlsh consulate and to the
American officers for protection. Thes'
officials requested the captain general
not to carry out the order of arrest.
The Americans think the charges are
entirely without foundation.
The First North Carolina regiment,
which arrived here Sunday morning
on the United States transport Rou
manian, disembarked yesterday and
marched through the city, with band
nnd colors, to Camp Marlanao. Py the
time the regiment had reached the sub
urb of Cerro many hundreds of men,
women and children were following, all
showing deen emotion, the men em
bracing one another, the women weep
ing from excessive pleasure and the
children shouting endearing names as
the North Carolinians marched along.
The troops were amazed at the In
tensity of feeling displayed. Several
hundred Cubans followed the regiment
all the way to Marlanuo, a distance ef
seven miles.
senator 1uvIm l'rgr- nil Alliance.
London, Pec. 13. The Paris corre
spomient of The Dally Mall summar
izes this morning an Interview he had
with United States Senator Cushman
K. Davis, of the peace commission, who
advocates a triple alliance between the
United States, Great Hritaln and Japan.
Mr. Davis declares that American and
Hrlllsh Interests in the far east run
quite parallel, and that, therefore, the
two powers should act Jointly. "I am
pot appealing to sentiment." he said,
"although blood Is thicker than water,
and this argument should not be Ig
nored. My thesis in favor of eo-eper-ation
is borne out by the coldest logic.
I favor a treaty of alliance Including
the United States, Great ltrltaln and
Japan for the irotectlon of all their
Interests north of the equator. Ths
rest of the world would have a whole
some fear, synonymous with respect
for us."

Washington. Dec. 13. General Callxto
Garcia, the distinguished Cuban war
rior and leader, and the head of the
commission elected by the Cuban as
sembly to visit this country, died here
shortly after 10 o'clock Sunday morn
ing at the Hotel Raleigh, where the
commission has Its headquarters. The
sudden change from the warm climate
of Cuba, with the hardships he had
there endured, to the wintry weather of
New York and Washington Is respon
sible fur the pneumonia which resulted
In his death. He contracted a slight
cold In New York, which did not as
sume an alarming stage until the early
part of last week. On Tuesday night
General Garcia, In company with the
other members of the commission, at
tended dinner given In his honor by
General Miles, and It was a result of
the exposure that nlcht which culmin
ated In his death. Rev. Father Ma
gee, of St. Patrick's church, was with
General Garcia until the end, admin
istering tho last rites of the church.

remains.
General Garcia left a large family,
only one of whom, Justo, a captain on
his staff, was with hltn whin he died.
GENERAL CAL1XTO GARCIA.
His tlliw and Mercedes, a daughter,
17 years of age, are at Thomasvllle, Ga.,
whers tbt girl Is dying of consumption;
Mario, a son. 19 years of age, Is also
with the mether at Thomasvllle. and
Colonel Carloas Garcia, another son, Is
in Cuba. A daughter. Leonora, who
married an American. Is now living In
Paris. General Garcla's mother Is still
alive, ami resides In Havana.
General Garcia, whose name will he
ever linked with those of other patriots
who have fouffht against unequal odds
for the freedom of his country, has
had a most active and varied life, much
of which has been spent In fighting for
the cause of Cuban liberty, which he
had the satisfaction of seeing ac
complished so short a time before his
death. H was a man of culture and
refinement, of splendid education, and
came from a distinguished family of
Jlquanl, of Santiago d Cuba province.
He was born In Coquln on Oct. 14, 1S3J
and was educated In Havana an I
Spain. In ISSt h wae married M iH.ibl
Vetez.
General Oarrla was the original con
sulrator In the uprising of th, Cubans
against Spain In 1W. and In that war.
under Gomez, he attained th rank of
a brigadier general. In October of 1CS
he captured the towns of Jaiquanl and
Pair anil recruited many hundreds of
patriots. He had command of the
eastorn departments durim; th.it revo
lution after 1ST . and won many no
table victories, including tho. at Me
lones and Aurez. While th revolution
the territory under hi command.
In 1ST3. while recunnolterlng with hi
escort, he was surrounded by 2.0W
Spaniards. Preferring death to cap
ture and subsequent execution at the
hands of his enemy, he attempted sui
cide by placing his revolver under his
chin and firing. The bullet came out
between his tyehrows. For months he
lay between life urd J-atli. but wa
saved finally by Spanish surcvin who
possibly had owed their own lives to
I his mercy. The Spaniards, belivvtng
j he was about to die. gave him a pardon.
For his participation In the revo
I tlonary movement General Garcia was
sent to Spain, where for four years he
was confined in castles and fortresses,
remaining there until the peace of Xati ,
Jon. lie then returned to th United
States and. together with Jose Mam, ;
attempted another revolution. He land-,
ed In Cuba with a few followers, but
the country was tired of war and want- i
ed Ui try the home rule offered bv
Spain, lie capitulated to the Spanish
forces in .order to save his few re- '
malning followers, and was a?aln ban--ished
to Spain in 10, whore he re. '
tnalned under surveillance until 1?:)5.
when the last revolution broki out In
Cuba. Then he escaped to France and
later to New York. His movements 1
since that time and his active particl-
patlon In the war are fam.lUr to news- ',
paper readers.
