Calixto Garcia, the famous Cuban
warrior and leader and the head of
the commission elected by the
Cuban Assembly to visit this coun
try, died here this morning shortly
after 10 o'clock at the Hotel Raleigh,
where the commission has its head
quarters. The sudden change from
the warm climate or (juba, witn tne
hardships he had there endured, to
the wintry weather of New ork
and Washington is responsible for
the pneumonia which resulted in his
death. He contracted a slignt com
in New York, which did not assume
an alarming stage until the arly

Gen. Garcia, whose name will ever
be liuked with those of other patriots
who have fought against unequal
odds for the freedom of his country,
has had a most active an i varieu
life, much of which has been spent
in fighting for the cause of Cuban
liberty, which he had the satisfac
tion o'f seeing accomplished so short
a time before his death. He was a
man of culture and refinement, of
splendid education, and came from
Hiti"o-nished family of Jiquani, of
.jnHuim d Ouha province. He
was born in uogqnin uctooer it.

Gen. Garcia was the original con
spirator in the uprising of the Cu
bans against Spain in 1S08, and in
that war under Gomez he attained
the rank of a Brigadier General. In
Octo'jer of 18(W he captured the
r.wna of Jaiouani and Baire, and
recruited many hundreds of patriots.
He had command or tne eastern ue-
nnrtment during that revolution
tie- and was arrested on the cha'ge
of filibustering, but was released on
$:),(X0 bail. He forfeited this hail,
and in a final attempt landed on the
eastern coast of the island with one
of the largest txpeditions that ever
reached Cuba.
After landing he succeeded Gen.
Antonio Maceo in command of the
troops of the eastern department,
holding the rank of Major General,
Gen. Maceo marching west with his
men. At Maceo's death Garcia was
elected Lieutenant General of the
Cuban army, which position he held
to the close of the war. During this
command he assaulted and took by
siege Tunas, Guisa and Guaimaro,
and cleared the Interier of his de
partment of Spanish troops. After
the declaration of war between the
United States and Spain Gen. Miles,
commanding the American army
sent his representatives to Geu.
Garcia, and subsequently the Amer
ieau aud Cuban Generals co-operat
ed in their movements against ban
tiftu-o. All the officers who partici
pated in the active work around
Santiago bear testimony to the great
aid, assistance and loyalty manifest
ed by Gen. Garcia during the cam
paign. When the Cuban, Assembly
met at the close of the war Gen.
Garcia was one of the principal ad
visers and was elected chairman of
the commission directed to come to
the United Sates and confer with
the authorites here with reference
to the work in hand.

last article of the treaty
Much interest was displayed in
the last session of the eventful con
ference. There was a great contest
amonur the families and friends of
the American commissioners for
possession of the pens with which
the signatures to tne ireuiy w-ie
written. Some of the Americans
were provided with handsome pens
purchased for the purpose, the
Spaniards appeared to ue uuuubu-icu
by the souvenir craze and contented
themselves with the ordinary quill
pens strewn on the table.
Arthur Ferguson, tne nueipretei
of the American Commission, re
quested Senor Montero Rios to give
him his pen, saying: "Have you
any desire to preserve the pen with
which you will sign?"
"Not in the slightest," said the
Spaniard with a courtly bow.
Bach copy contains the English
and Spanish text of the treaty in
parallel columns. The wording had
been approved previously by the
Commissions, so there was no con
troversy on this subject.
The signing of the treaty to-night
would have afforded a subject for a
great historic painting, l'he group,
gathered about the table iu the
stately chamber of the Foreign Of
fice, was impressive in ltseir, wniie
the fact that the sense of the mo
mentousness of the issues which the
act decides was deeply felt by all
the participants gave an impressive
and solemn tone to the scene.
Around the great mahogany table
sat the 10 arbiters of the destines of
an old aud young nation. Ranged,
standing behind them, were numer
ous attaches of the American Com
mission. The jets from the crystal
chandeliers above the heads of those
present magnified the brilliant

There was the attraction a con
trast between the black clothed ac
tors and the scenery. To the Ameri
cans it was a happy ending of the
epilogue of war; lor the Spaniards
it was plainly a bitter tragedy, none
the less pahiful because long fore
seen. They sat silently, as though al
most crushed, and none could with
hold smpathy for Senor Montero
Bios, the president of the Spanish
Commission, who, coming from his
hed. sat in a great overcoat, though
logs were burning in the fireplace
near by. The spit its or the two no

Chicago, Dec. 12 I asked a prom
inent Democrat, of national reputa
tion, the other day, how he sized
up the last election and what the
prospects are for 1000 H is reply ran
something like thi: "There is a
good deal to be learned from the
last election. Had the Democrats
made a vigorous aud aggressive fight
on the financial question; shown
that the present system is confiscat
ing the property of the people; all
the national leaders taken the field
and spoken and acted as men do
when they feel that national exist
ence and self lespect is at stake, the
Democratic party would have risen
in its majesty and polled very nearly
the vote of 18'Jfi. and would have
been victorious."
"But," he continued, "the leaders
were silent and it was an open secret
that campaign committees were do
ing little or nothing toward pushing
the issue of 1890. This begot distrust
among the t-ilver Republicans and
Pooul sts and sincere sliver uemo
crats. who are Democrats solely from

When Democratic leaders shirk
principle, let vital national questions
trail in the dust, and cowardly dodge
by taking up local issues as a substi
tute for the broader and graver
nuestions. thev have always lost
prestige with the people."
"That is the lesson,' he said, "we
should study as reflected iu the last
election.
Some further inform ition he gave
me is, according to his statement,
"that gold Democrats were the prin
cipal contributors 'o the state and
local campaign committees, and this
gave them a 'pull' that dictated a
milk and water policy." The advice
this man gives is that the silver
Republicans and Populists should
come into the Democratic party and
help to hold it true to principle.

What the bankers want is lor tne
government to farm out to them, at
one per cent per annum, tho privl-

at such an audacious proposition as
this, for, mind you, the hill now be
