GARCIA'S DISGRVNTLHMENT.
The War Department has not yet bee
informed that General Shafter's Cuba
allies have quit the American lines fc
tho reasons, set out in a printed letter I
General Garcia, but It Id scarcely double
thai such is the cuse, for thu friction ha
been growing more pronounced every da
s nee the fall of Santiago, and It is ftare
that a severance of relations cannot ),
longer avoided. The Cuban Junta is stli
hopeful of avoiding such a measure, ac
cording to the statement of Senor Que
BBda, one of the Cuban legation here.
iiOBi-ON AT THE CAI'lTAi..
The list and most agreeable event o
the ?Jay was the arrival at the Navy Da
partment of Lieutenant Hoboon, the her
of the Msrrteaa. The officials were no
Informed of his approaching visit, excep
through the newspapers. Consequently
when ho reached the railway station hen
Bl tM o'clock this afternoon there wai
no official there to meet him, and his re
option was truly democratic He sue
(dag observation as h<
through the train-shed, coat anc
umbrella la hand, and followed by a por
ter proudly carrying his bag, but before
he amargad from tha station some on<
piad him, B hooray went up Horn on?
Bt close by, and In a moment the
Btatloa resounded with uproarious ?shout
ing.
POPE LAB OVATION.
The cry of "Hobson! Hobson!" rang
out, and the crowd about him began
shaking his hand and pushing him about
until he was rescued by the police and
escorted to his carriage. He stopped long
enough to announce that all of the men
who formed the crew of the Merrimac
were safo and in the best of health, and
that after ho had made his report to tho
Navy Dep?rtame?, be espeeted to return
immediately to New York.
The officer was driven at once to the
Army and Navy Club, nnd after brushing
himself up he drove over to the Navy De
partment.
WELCOME Ap* NAVY' DEPARTMENT.
This time ho carried with him. under
his arm, a large official envelope, which
bore tho inscription, "North Atlantic
Squadron." As he approached tho office
of the Secretary of the Navy, there en
sued another demonstration. A large
crowd had gathered about the doorway,
and the hearty welcome It gave tho young
odicer brought blushes to hl3 cheeks.
taiy Long came out of his private
offload and grasping Hobson with toth
hand?, Paid with sincerity, "Lieutenant,
I am glad, very glad, to see you." Then
>v him Into his office.
He Bpeaat half an hour In conference
with tho Secretary, and then returned
to tho club to rest.
Secretary Long stated that Hobson did
not bring the long-expected report from
Admiral ?Sampson and his brother officers
on the destruction at the Cervera flee?L
TO SAVE THE COLON.
The exact purpose of his visit was ex
plained by an order issued by Admiral
Sampson, instructing him to proceed to
Washington and inform the Secretary
of the Navy of the work done t.r.on the
bal Colon. Lieutenant Hobson was
Instructed to be ns expeditious as possible,
In order that if It is practicable to do
so, this fin.; ship may be saved to the
United States navy.
HOBSON AT Tin; wniTi: hocse.
About 5.30 o'clock Lieutenant. Hotxson,
gceompsaJbd by Secretary Long, went to
the White Douse to pay his rsspocts to
the President. The President received
the two gentle-men in tho Cabin? t-fJO nn.
Ho give- Lieutenant Hobson a cordial
greeting, and paid him a hlKh tribute for
what he regarded as one of the most con
spicuous acts of gallantry in the history
of naval warfare. Tho Lieutenant mo
destly acknowledged the <*omp"liments of
PTesido.it McKinley, and quietly turned
the conversation to the object of his visit
to the Initcd States at this time?the ef
forts being made to save to this country
some of the vessels of Admiral Cerverj's
sqimdron.
Lieutenant Hobson did not bring with
him the report of Admiral Sampson on
the destruction of the fleet of Admiral
Cervera, but he was the bearer of a ver
bal message irom the Admiral to Secre
tary Long to the effect that the report
M the battle was in course of prepara
tion, and would be forwarded in a few*
gaya.
TWO SHOT CERTAINLY SAVED.
Concerning the efforts that are batag
made to save some of the Spanish war
ships. Lieutenant Hobson ?aid that two
is?the Infanta Maria Teresa am!
Reina Mercedes?would be saved, and im
pressed conililence that Cristobal Colon
would be saved, also.
Lieutenant Hobson is enthusiastic in
his efforts to save the ships, and hurried
back to New York to take up the sub
ject of his mission with the wrecking
iiaiapanr Bacaatary Long said to-night
that if the Colon could be saved Bhe

Major Benjamin Franklin Eakle, on?
of the moat popular and widely-known
hotel men in the South, and for ten year?
tho manager of tho famous Greenbrier
? kits Sulphur Spring?, died yeaterday
ait.-rnoon at 12:30 o'clock at hia home near
?urg, W. Va.
Thl? announc-ment, which will carry
pain and sorrow to the hearts of friends
throughout the country, and particularly
the Southland, was first received here
through a to^gran? to Mr. P. M. Fry.
manager of tho Jefferson, who was long
associated with Major Eakle at the White,
and later the Dis itch received a ?pedal
to the same effect from Ronceverte.
This Intelligence wa? a great shock to
Major Eakle's friends here, especially Mi.
Fry and others at the Jefferson, who had
sustained close business and personal is?
latione with him. While ho had been ill
MAJ. BENJAMIN' FRANKLIN EAKLE.
for some little time, and it was feared
U would never be well again, a tele?:.mi
received on Thursday stated that he was
considerably improved.
SKETCH OF HIS EUE.
Major Eakle was a typical Virginian,
Bad was devote?: to the State and her
history and interests. He was a ?ulti
VBtad and courtly gentleman, B gallant
soldier, and a man of fine business ('nan
ties. While ho was best known In con
nection with hotel and springs life, he had
also achieved success In the mercantile
world.
Major Eakle was a nativo of Augusta
county, Va., where, the early part of BM
life was spent, and was 73 years of age.
Ho moved to Greenbrier county, W. Va.,
about 1856, and engaged in the mercantile
business at Lewis-burg fur several years.
Ho then accepted a position as chief clerk
at the Greenbrler White Sulphur, with
which in after years his name became
so closely linked. He r? niained at the
hotel until the war broke out, when he
entered the Confederate service, enlisting
in the Greenbrier Cavalry, a company
formed near the spririKS, and was elected
lieutenant. He. ?erred with great gal
lantry and distinction, and was gradually
promoted through the grades until he held
the rank of major in the Fourte? nth Cav
alry flea?aient He was conspicuous for his
gallantry and bravery on the Bold, and
was four times wounded -during the bat
tle of the Wilderness quite seriously, the
ball ponctrating his hip and passing al
most entirely through his body. From
this wound he never entirely recovered,
and he suffered considerably from it in
his older days. He was In the thick of the
tight at Gettysburg, and in that in-mora
bl<: battle had ;?\?ial horses BhOt undar
him. He was also present at ChamN-r.
burg when that town was burned by the
Confederates.
CONNECTED WITH THE EXCHANGE.
After the war Major Eakle return??! to
Virginia and accepted th>* position of chief
clerk at the Exchange and Ballard hotels,
in this city, spending his winter month?
here and his aSBUner months at th<- Whit,?
Sulphur. He oontianed ?erring at both
places until in IV?' he B IS tMMOM BBpsfiB?
tendeat of the White Sulphur, and as
suming entire charge of the popular re
sort, remained then? until RSDl. when he
retirad from netlw business and went tu
Eewlsburg. where he paSSSd his r?'o!inlng
y?-ars on his BSndaoaae stock-farm about
tWO miles from the town.
Major Kakle was a man of the truest
and noblest typ,'. He wa? exceedingly
popular, and though a great student, he
pursued his studi.s only with a view to
obtaining tofonaatiOB which would make
him more entertaining to his friends, and
In this he was eminently ?IIIUSB?fill, as n?>
man was more highly esteemed I y the
people generally than Ma). Eakl?-. Be was
:i thoroughly moral man, timugh he never
mnaeotad himself with any church, and
had a high regard for the religious be
llefa of others.
Deceased never married. In later years
lia niece, Miss Annie Eakle, whom he had
nractically adopt. ?1 lived with him. He
ikles her, he is survived by several nieces,
laughters of his deceased sister, Mrs.
Aen. Patterson, and two nephews- Mr. H.
P. p:akle, Jr.. manager of the SVeet Cha
fbsate ?Springs, and Dr. J. E. Eakle, of
?few Hope, Augusta county.
The i'!ii??lps will be. interred in Augusta
ountv, an?J the funeral will probably
ake place some time t?,-morrow after
loon. Mr. P. If. IT/, of the Jefferson,
t**ho was closely associated with the de
eased for a number of years, and other
rienda, will probably go from Itichmond
o attend the funeral.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-A significant
statement was made to the Associated
Press to-day by a gentleman in a position
to speak with knowledge and authority,
as to the plans of the administration with
reference to futur? war operations, m
substance the statement was a? follows:
Commodore Watson, in proceeding to
the Spanish peninsula as soon as tne
Porto Uico expedition is gotten under
way, la not to bombard the cities of tn-3
Spanish coast. No such Idea of bombard
ment of the coast is entertained. While
there may be other Incidental purposes,
the main mis-Ion of Watson is to take
:are of Admiral Camara's fleet. The
movement of this net t, and the fears und
i-pprchensions caused by reports concern
ing it. are to be stopped for all time,
l'he ships under C?mara will be located
by Watson and fltn?y met and engaged,
rho talk occasionally Indulged in as to
he Canary Islands Is utterly without
oundation. This povernm? tit has no plan
?0 take those Islanes, aim does not want
h m.
HABANA CAMPAIGN.
Despite, popular expectation that the
^orto Rico operations will be followed
mme.iiately by action against Habana, It
an be said that Habana will not be at
SCfesd while? yellow-fever conditions ex
st. This is certain. It would bo the
lelght of national folly to engage our
roops In and about that fever pesthole,
'onsequcntiy, it will be left until the eli
Bda its aid in the autumn. Shar
er will hold his own in the eastern ?urip
low surrendered, may gradually push
Is way over some other districts, and It
bars should he any particular need of
:nmedlate ar?*?ressive action at any point,
.-111 move against It, but Habana will bo
;ft until yellow-fever dangers are past
GOVBBMMBMT PBOBLKMB.
Meantime, In the next two months,
1?re wilt be enough to keep this govern
nent busy. Wo will have to cop-> with
lie most serious problem yet-that of
residing for the goverrvmrnt in futuro
f the islands involved in this war. The
auling down of the Spanish flag* und the
olsting of that of the United States
?ems moro than on its face it Indicates
? the popular mind. No more important
latter is to engage th.- attention of tho
overnmer.t thaa tic- details to be ar
inged for the disposition, control, or
miporary. possession of tho-. Islands,
ending final transfer of their poa
) our dfxmain. There are questions of the
lost intricate' and far-reaching eharac
;r to be decided.
PORTO RICO TO BE RETAINED.
Porto Rico, whose fall Is likely to b*
?corded wthln a week or ten days, will
ave to have a military governor. Porto
.ico, of course, Is to be kept psr__?ant?
* by this government, but there must he
military governor first, and many pre
mlnary details will ha\?e to bo worked
it.
There fBBBBt ?x* a rehabilitation of e_.st
g systems of government, wher" \? ?
ive carried our aims, and while local
hemes and conditions will form the
isla of the general system for control
' the new lands, there must be numerous
langes, abolishing such laws as may be
.pre?-ive. Laws will have to be very
loroughly gone over, and the tariff ays
BB r.vi.-.d In some way, but In general,
id as far BS possible, the .system of
ivernment which now exists Is to bo
Bowed. All this means work of the
ost BStioaa character, and In the ab
ro of existing laws to govern such niat
rs, tho President has to go ahead on
B own p-sponslblllty. Next winter, bow
er, when Congress convenes, the neees
