Garcia had dcpai ted in anger. Tho latter had already selected n military governor in tho person of General Castillo. Tho Washington government has at no time contemplated turning over the control of tho island at once to tho Cubans. On tho contrary, It has been intended all along that the process should bo a gradual one of putting tho Island wholly under tho control of the insurgents. It will be considerable time boforo this is done. Meauwhilo, tho system of military government will bo applied just as It has now been inaugurated at Santiago. HEAVY FIRING AT MANZANILL0.

Washington, July 20. Fairly eood progress has been mado with the re cruiting for the volunteer army under the president's second call for 75,000 troops. Indiana, Missouri, New JerBey, llhode Island, West Virginia and Wis consin have exceeded their quota, but all the others are behind In the Bupply of troops. The worst dellnauent Is North Carolina, which has furnished only C5 soldiers to meet its quota of 783. Other delinquents are Colorado, Ne braska, Louisiana, Tennessee and Vir ginia, each of which has supplied less than half the number of men required, Alabama, Massachusetts, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, Oregon and Texas have done very little better. Tho total strength of the army, regular and vol unteer, is 227,000 as now organized.

LEAVES as TO THE PEOPLE OF SANTIAGO Frantic Kush of tho Half Fam- ished Citizens. MANY OF THE SUPPLIES STOLEN, It Became Necessary to Place Pickets on Duty to Insure Proper Distribution of the Food The City Ripe For an Epi demic of Yellow Fever The Town Lacks Every Sanitary Feature, and Is a Verita ble Pest Hole. Santiago de Cuba, July 20. The Red Cross society's steamer State of Texas arrived at 6 o'clock Sunday evening, and Monday morning at daybreak Dr, Elwell, who Is In charge of the work of unloading, secured eight stores In the heart of the city and one largo shed on the dock, engaged SO stevedores and began unloading the steamer. She had 1,400 tons of provisions on board. The distribution began at 3 o'clock, allowing a pound and a half of rations to each sltlzen. When the unloading began crowds of half starved citizens rushed to the dock, lighting, trampling one another under foot, breaking open the cases and stealing the supplies. Finally a picket of troops was placed on the wharf, refusing admittance to anyone. The entire cargo had been landed be fore the dlstilbutlon began. Each ap plicant was furnished with a ration ticket supplied by the local commis sioners, with General McKibben's en doisement. Ilefore the distribution of the sup plies from the State of Texas there was literally nothing in the city to eat. Be fore the refugees left for El Caney Hour was selling at $150 a barrel, beans at $90 per hundred pounds, condensed milk at $5 a can and hard tack at $1 apiece. At El Cuney the prices were still higher, $25 for a can of condensed milk and $5 for a piece of hard tack. The ruin and want In the city are al most inconceivable. General Shatter has had a thorough examination made of the sanitary con dition of Santiago. The work was done by Dr. Goodfellow, of the general'B staff, and by a civilian physician. Dr. Orlando Dwlker. They llnd that al though there are at present but six cases of yellow fever In the city, In ad dition to two suspects, the town Is ripe for an epidemic. Santiago and rtlo Janeiro are considered the greatest fever breeding centers in the world. This town lacks every sanitary feature at Its best, and now, after two months' siege, leaving It dirty and repellant, it is a veritable pest hole. The awful stenches that arise from the streets stugger and choke one. No cordial in Santlugo has the power to wash this odor from one's throat. There is no sewage ystem. The city drnlnnge Is nil fiom the surface into the hnrbor. und the lower part of the city, through which much of the drain ago runs, especially from the poor quarter around the bull ring to tho northwest of the city, Is the seeding center of ninlailal, typhoid and other low fevers. Tho city of Santiago Is a typical tropical place, with narrow, crooked streets and low, one storied dwellings and stores. Many of the houses are stuccoed aud painted with startling colors, sky blue and vivid shades o green predominating. These, with the red tiles of the roofs and the quaint verandas, show evidence of past pic turosqueness, but everything is now In a state of dilapidation and decay, and the city Is but a shadow of its former self. The majority of the houses are absolute ruins, and public squarcs.once green, with fountains playing in the center, are now utterly neglected. The Iron fences are broken and rusted, while the fountains, on account of the dearth of the water supply, have long been dry. There are four hospitals in the city, the Civil hospital, presided over by the Sisters of Chailty, and the Military, Mercedes and Conchas hospitals. In these four hospitals nre 1,747 patients, which Is a comparatively small num ber, considering the lack of food and long siege, but It must he remembered that the recuueentrados weie never ad mitted to the hospitals, and when the notifications of the proposed bombard inent by our batteries were received every patient who could Btagger out was driven into the streets. Twenty lepers who were In the Civil hospital were turned Into the streets, through which they have been roaming ever since. The largest number of patients are In the Military hospital, where there are 37 wounded Spunlsh officers and 431 wounded soldlei;s and sailors. The sail ors were wounded In the battles of July 1 and July 2. They were disem barked from the ships of Admiral Cer vera's fleet In order to assist In resist ing the attack of the American troops by land. These sailors say that when the Boanlsh fleet sailed out of the harbor half of the sailors nnd marines on board had been fighting and work ing in the trenches on shore for 48 hours previously. The water supply of the city, which was cut "tr rut .tiny 3 nnovc i.i v;aney by General Gnnlu's troops, buying; the town without water, was tinned on ngaln Monday. The Ice factory re sumed work Moiidny, ukIiik Hip rain water supply In the cisterns.

A Cuban Louder' I'rotci. New Yolk. July 20. Dr. Lincoln de 'Atyoa. of the Cuban Junta, said today that the reports that the Cubans resent the puipose of the United States to establish temporary military or other provisional government In the conquer ed teriltory In Cuba was without foun dation. "The Cubans," Bald he, "know that such arrangement Is necessary, and thev do not expect tho United States to turn the Island of Cuba over to them, or any part of It, for thMr self government until the Island Is entirely under American control, nnd then only after full provisions is made for a permanent, stable government. The Cubans do resent, however, the slurs that are being cast upon them. Thpy are made to appear despicable, while the Spanlnids are suddenly be ing pictured as heroes." Truo Americans Ahseitihlo.

Strict HEAVY RAINS ARE MUCH NEEDED If They do Not Soon Come, the Water Superintendent Says, the Supply May bo Reduced to Two Hours a Day. Pumping is Restricted. It is or the utmost importance that the people of tho towu use the greatest economy in the uso of water, as the supply at hand is so short that it causes the ullicials in charge no little appicliciiMon. I3ach citizen in guaidiiig against wasto will guard against a danger threatening himself and his family. This warning is not given as tho outcome of theorizing on the part of alarmists, but is based upon cold facts that present them selves in strong ariay and demand considera tion. Water Superintendent lioll stated to day that the wator supply is almost as low as it can bo without assuming famine form and tho people must observo strictest economy auring mo hours the supply is turned on, or expect to sillier. Mr. Itell adds that unless wo soon have a series of heavy rains tho supply will bo cut down to two hours in overy twenty-four within two or three weeks. Tho pumping of water trom the IJrandonvillo station has been cut down to the samo schedule as the supply has been reduced. Thero are two reasons for this: First, tho condition of the Ilrandou ville reservoir is such that the water greatly lowered with but few hours' pumping. Secondly, it is not good policy to pump much water ovor to this siilit at one timoon account of the leaky condition of tho reservoir at l'Owlcr sKun. A point is made to keep a sullicient supply on hand between the periods of consumption for uso in tho town in caso of fire. The pumps at Ilrandonvillo aro now operated only from 5 to 9 a. m. and 4 to 7 p m. The town is supplied with water from 6 to U a. in. and 1 to 0:30 p. m. This is the uouditiou of affairs that con fronts tho people and they should not neglect to exercise the greatest economy with water when it is their privilege to make use of it To-morrow night is tho time fixed for the regular meeting of the Uorough Council, and no doubt the water problem will receive con siderable attention, as the water committee was instructed at the last mectiDgto have a recommendation ready. There is no doubt that some arrangement can bo made whereby the borough will secme re lief by purchasing a supply, but the people must not look forward to such a result with expectations of abundance. Should such an arrangement be made they will bo as much bound, in duty to themselves, to exercise economy as at tho present time. Lach thousand gallons of wator purchased will mean an auxiliarly expenditure on tho water department accounts, hence a step to ward Increased expenses if abuse of privileges resorted to. The lioroiigh Council is, therefore, eager that during the season of draught the citizens practice self denial to some degree. . member of Council said to-day thero was no reason why Shenandoah should consume as much water as it has done. This is due, ho slid, to a great extent to leaking hj--il rants. The suggestion has been made that a close inspection on the part of the Water Superintendent be made aud the ordinance strictly enforced. Kendrlck House l'ree Lunch.
