sight by which numliers ot the vIsit lag
wheelmen ' % 'ere compelled to check their
I wheels outside of the grounds was the only
I titiplensant Incident and this was the result
of the neglect ot the Department of Ailmis-
Sions to notify Its gatekeepers that an order
had been issued to adiiiit wheels at the An(1-
1torlum gate. Superintendent Foster of the
liuildlngg neil Grounds departijient had a
men stationed at this gate exclusively for
tiio accurnmodatiou of the wheelmen , but
iiiany of them rode to the Twentieth street
gate. As the gatomen had not been iii-
formed that the wheels were to be ndrnttted
at the other gate they simply declared that
no wheels could go into the grounris. Some
of the whechinen checked their wheels out-
side and others went away thoroughly In-

SANTIAGO Il CUBA , Aug. 15.-li p. m.
-A secret meeting held tonIght at the
p alace between the commandIng oilcers of
:
( ho American army nail the Cuban headers ,
The strIctest secrecy ns nicbntalned , bitt
I t can be anid with good authority that
( leneral Garcia was Present. The meeting
l asted an hour anti a half. The information
o btained Is to the effect that the Cuban
s ituation was thoroughly reviewed and it
Was resolved to disband the Cuban army
a nd that the United States should pay the
i nca off. This involves the expenditure of
fl5,000,000 , but It is most Important to
t he prosperity of ( lie island , whose wealth
I s entirely ngnlctsltural ; nobody , farmer or
p lanter , daring to cultivate isis lands while
( lie Insurgent bands are in tire field raiding
a nd burtiltig.
Atteurijut to Breed iuusttrrectlun.
Trouble with the Cubans is breeding.
Their attitude is ono of sullen hostilIty
t oward Americans. Tim better class In Cuba
f aver ( ho annexation of th island to ( ho
United States and a majority of the masses
i t ; ready and anxious to work and accept
t he shelter and protection afforded by an
American protectorate , but they are Info-
encod by a certain class of rabid orators
and breeders of sedition and rebellIon
against anything smacking of law and order.
Tins iiiilnmmntory class domantis anti
urges the recognition of Cuba for Cubans
antI spurns all offers or suggestions tending
t o prosperity under an American protec-
( orate anti excites PoPular discontent. ThIs
I s exactly the class that pushes itself most
Into evidence and those views and opinIons
are most overheard and published.
Their advice to the Cubans Is to repudiate
aU offers of Peace or a cessation of hostlll-
tics anti to look upon an armistice as an
agreement between the UnIted States and
Spain on their own aceount anti not bind-
l ag upon the free and independent state
of Cuba , whose liberating army not only
repudIates pacification , but wilt Ignore the
arnslstico to the point of continuing to
wage var and shooting every Spaniard in
the field.
IVilul Itutiior Afloat.
A wild rumor is alioat to the eulect that
the Cuban array will attack Santiago and
capture it , to the glory of the Cuban arms ,
as soon as ( lie American garrison Is weakL
eiied. This is directly traceable to the
same source.
Tire lnflucace exerted by such a hotly of
men agaInst law and order is formidable.
This hysterical people demands suppression
with an Iron hand.'hlle still Ia embryo ,
this Influence Is already felt among certain
classes who refuse to work or serve the
government untIl a clear statement of the
froedorxr and Independence of their country
is made rican.
A knowledge of thIs condtioa Is ImperaK
( lye to the moulding of future policy and
to explain whatever harsh steps may be
rendered necessary In dealing with the in.
surgents.
