THE BULKING CUBANS.
A dispatch from Santiago de Cuba
say-: A fact which is impressed more
and more every day upon the Ameri?
can, officers and men is in the increa lini:
s rained rela'ioos between the Aineri
cacs and General Gatcia's Cuban sol?
diers. Indeed, the situation has now
reached a point when there is practi?
cally no communication at all between
he two armies, and their rela'ious bor?
der ou those of hostility rather than
he relations which one would suppose
*voul'i exist between ailies.
As soon e- General Soafter announc?
ed his decision uot to let the Cuban
forces enter the city of Samiago de
Cuba deep mutterioge were heard
irtoug General Gurcia's men. It wa
vdeot the Cubans were greatly disap?
pointed at the step taken by the Atner
lean commander, lor they had conti-1
? etilly counted upon having Santiago
urued over to lootaud plunder as thej
had in succession sacked Ba:quir;.
Si honey and El laney. Cons* quentlj
: e r disappointment was kteu when
tui-y ascertained that th-.y were uot
it 11- permitted lo take possession oi
ho city upon General Toral's surten
Oa Friday last Castillo, a brother of
Gt-ueral Demetrius Castillo, went to
General Sbaftur's heuquaners i t order
.i ascertain the cause of this, to the Cu
baris, inexplicable resolution.
1 Why is S?;;ti;jf> io remain iu the
bands of our enetnie.-?'' he asked.
" The Spauiards are not our enemies,"
r--plied General Shafter.
"We are lighting the soldiers of
Spain, but we have no desire to despoil
her citizens. No Cuban will he allow
id to enter the citv nor will any Amer?
ican soldier. Tne government of the
city is a mutier for the people to decide.
When the American array leaves it I
presume it will be turned over to you,
nut not until then."
Castillo, who came direct from Gen.
Qarcia's camp, did not attempt lo con?
ceal his chagrin.
The Cohan soldiers now fully realize j
that there is a rising sentiment against
tbem in the American army. They
hear nothing but words ot scorn from
our men as they pass onward, lugging
their bacon and hardtack into the
woods. Even our officers no longei
conceal their disgust for their pl ies,
mid it m understood that the warm
friendship displayed toward them at
tir.-t has low turned into con
tempt, for the Cubans have neither
It ught nor worked. The correspondent
( f the Associated Press who sends this
dispatch saw a group of Cubans refuse
|:0 tit blank to aid in building roads,
ami, during the two days' heavy fight
?ng, while they were loitering ia tbi
r.-nr, our surgeons sought in vain to
secure assistance from them, even to
cu' poles for improvised litters for cur
wounded.
Hundreds of such instances are be?
ing t.?ld around the camp tires uulil the
name of Cuban is usually wreathed with
camp profanity, and very rarely is a
kind worti spoken of them. In fact, in
Borne quarters there is a di-posiiion lo
prophesy an early collision between
our men and the Cubans.
General Shafter Saturday morning
sent an invitation to General Garcia to
attend the ceremony of raising the
American Hag over Santiago de Cuba:
hut the Cuban General showed his re?
sentment by Bending a reply which
amply continue d the course which be
and his ragged, ignorant soldiers have
followed during the weeks of bard
lightitig and campaigning which have
resulted iu the fall of Santiago.
He declined the invitation, said he
hatod the Spaniards and added that he
did not want to be where any of them
were. Since that time the Cubaus
have remained in their camp, eating
American rations, and our troops have
had no communication with tbem.
A dispatch from Washington says
there is apprehension that the assump?
tion by the United States government
of ihe control of alluirs at Santiago
may lead to trouble with the Cubans.
A few days before the surrender of the
city General Garcia sent a committee
to General Shatter informing him that
that the Cubans had selected a Cuban
named Castillo for Governor of the
city. It is plain, however, lrom the
reading of the President's order to
Shafter that it would be a long time be?
fore this Cuban officer is allowed to ex?
ercise the functions of Governor, and it
is believed it is the President's purpose
when the military government he has
just erected gives way to replace it
with a popular goverument, meaning
thereby a government for Santiago
chosen by the free vote of the people i f
Santiago.
Some doubt is expressed as to wheth?
er this programme will be entirely ac?
ceptable to that element of the Cuban
part v which demands immediate pos
I session of the captured territory, but as
the administration is convinced that
tais element is neither the most numer
| ous nor respectable in the Cuban cause
I it is believed their dissatisfaction will
take no more dangerous form than
protects and ttrowls.
It 1ms b. eu suggested that ?h? Pie ?
dent's action in 'he rase of S^nti ?<>
j might bd construed by European na
I Uous as indicating an intent (9 diare
gard the lei ins of the congressional
lesoluiion which precipitated the war,
tue! to mean a permanent seizure of the
it-lands in behalf of the United States.
This view, however, will not, it is be?
lieved, ob. nil; to any extent among the
representatives ol the European nations
in tb? United S-rates, wno are aware of
the necessity of some such action as
that adopted by the President in order
to prevent excesses and lawless extrav?
agance at Santiago.
The London newspapers comment on
the relations between the Cubans and
Americans at Santiago and are sar?
castic at the expense ol the former for
unanimously effacing themselves iu the
presence ol hard work and Mauser bul?
lets, and then heartily consuming
American rations with patriotic zeal.
The Standard foresees the possibility
of a serious quarrel, the Americans be?
ing compel ed to forcibly surpress the
patriots whom ihey wuut to protect. It
saye that enthusiasts in the United
States might have been less sympathet?
ic with the chivalrous Cuban if they
bad seen him amid his native tctub in
his native repugnance to soap and the
law of decent living. Cubans are like
the Cretans, one of the oppressed na?
tionalities tha'. it is easier to love at a
distance.
T.ie Daily News regards the position
as wholly creditable to the American
authorities. The better American
opinion will cordially support General
Shatter, The paper anticipated that
the Americans w ill be compelled for a
considerable time to keep a substantial
army in Cuba.
The Daily Graphic says that (he situ?
ation is piquant but scarcely surprising
[i point? to the circumstances proving
too strong for the virtuous resolve with
vvuith the United States embarked iu
tue war.
