Garcia Believed. A dispatch from Santiago says: Gen. Garcia has teen relieved of his command by Gen. Gomez, acting under instructions from thn nrovisional government.
This is owing to disapproval of his action during the Shatter incident, and in Tiew that Garcia is persona non grata to toe American Government. At the commencement of the war the Cuban officers were ordered to put themselves under orders of the American commander, and the letter from Garcia to Shatter is looked upon as h breach of discipline. His resignation is not accepted, but he is relieved of his command. Gen. Roderiguez, commanding in the east under Gones, win succeed turn. Hcataeas Increasing- at Porto Rico.

Washington correspondence: Facts of the most sickening character continue to flow in uion horrified peopb in reference to the number ami condition of the soldiers in the various camp hospitals throughout the country. It is iuposslble to deal with the subject in detail, so widespread is the evil and voluminous the storv of suffering and horror. It is
remarkable that some of the most horrible of these details should come from tac
camps situated in the heart of the StatM. From the following table a faint idea may be had of the extent of sickness end suffering among the soldiers. The tabulation is by no means complete and eaauot be made so until compiled from army rec
ords, but is made up generally from tne reports received from the camp hospitals. Thousands of whom no record now exists, or ever will exist, have gone t their homes on furloughs and arc being cured for there. Hundreds of others arc arriving almost hourly in the hospitals and camps of the North from Culm and Southern camps. Following is a partial list: Pick in Various Camps. c, ,.,.. 657

IN GENERAL.
Col. Sir Casimir Stanislaus Gzowski, K. C. M. G., died i.t Toronto. He was 85 years old. In a boat thirteen feet long, provisioned with canned goods and vichy, Captain William Andrews jailed from Atlantic City for his fifth trip to Europe. Uradstreet's sums up the business situation in this way: "Uusiness conditions in the main reflect the continuance of most of the favorable fe.itures hitherto dominating the trade stuation iu the more favored sections of the country. Prominent ia this direction, of course, are the iron and steel allied industries, in which active demand, present or prospective, has led to further price- advances, sustained and even increased f ctivity in distribution
at most Western uurkets. with some improvement likewise noted at the South and on the Pacific coast, steadiness in
)riceawhcat, corn and cotton, however, excepted a reduced number of business failures, fair gains in railroad earnings ns a whole, and bank clearings, in spite of a slight reduction from last week, showing gains over all corresponding periods in previous years." The ancient bark Guardian lies on the rocks off the bend of Tigaldo Island, Alaska, a total wreck. She landed the passengers taken out of Seattle at their destination, but will never again imperil human life. After plowing through a bank of solid fog for hundreds of miles through Bering Sea the old bark piled cp on the sharp rocks of the island that guards the Bering Seu entrance to I'nimnk pass. She
was then returning to tieattie. t aptaiu F.neles and the crew took to the lifeboats
and pulled twenty-three miles through the fog to Unalaska. No one was lost. The news of the wreck was brought to Seattle by the steamer Lanrada, from Dutch Harbor and St. Michael. Captain Kagles was on board. The Lauradn was black witb bewhiskered Klondikers. all of whom bad some monev, the total nmouiit being estimated at $150,000. The Lanrada had about 200 passengers, of whom lul were from Dawson City. There were a numlier of gamblers on board. MARKET REPORTS.

One of the worst pest-holes seems to be at Camp Thomas, on the site of the old
hnttlpfleld of Chickiimauga. which was
chosen ns the site of a camp of instruc
tlon earlv in the war on account of its
Riinnnsetl sanitary advantages. Here the
number of sick, in hospital and outside, is estimated nt nearly 2,500. while nearly
as many have been sent hone to hospitals or their friends. Camp Wikoff is filling
up daily with accessions from the troops
rntnrnlnc from Santiago or Gen. Miles
army in Porto Kieo. Loud complaints are made of the need of nurses and proper food, and yet it is not many weeks since some of the officials of the medical doiuirtment were protesting against the employment of Ked Cross nurses, although they have shown themselves mot,t efficient both at the front among wouoded men and in the fever hospitals. The tales of horror which have been related by soldiers arriving on pest ships in weeks past were repeated Sunday, when
toll, Montauk Point, and began to dis
charge the troops who came trom Santiago. She had on iioard six companies Of the Seventh regular infantry. The shocking condition of the men and the aipalling scenes through w hicn they passed can be imagined from the fact that seven men were starved to death on the passage, and three more died while in the harbor before they could be landed, because the ship left Santiago without proper food or
supplies for the sick or anything else out the regular army rations, "salt horse, sow belly and shingles," as the soldiers call the corn beef, salted pork and hardtack, which the sick were unable to eat. When the Kighth Ohio landed from th? Mohawk Sunday, 300 were reported sick and were carried in ambulances to th? hospital, but it was soon discovered that 170 of them were only suffering for food,
and as soon as they had drank a glass of
milk or two and had got something whole- j some in their stomachs they were able to go to their camp. If the vessel had been delayed three or four days more the Eighth Ohio would have lost 100 men from starvation, for many of them had been ill with fever and their stomachs rejected the only food that was provided for them. Before Secretary Alger left Camp Wikoff he ordered the surgeon general to send Immediately twenty four physicinns and eighty more nurses to assist and relieve the devoted women serving as volunteers, who have been working night and day, week after week, until their strength is exhausted. Some of the Bed Cross
nurses have not had their clothes off for ten days, and there are no accommodations for them to rest nnd refresh themselves. The regulars who have returned from Santiago are in excellent condition comnared with the volnnteeri-. This is partic
ularly true of the negro troops. They
seem as Btrong and hearty as they were when they left for Cuba, although they have endured the same hardships and have eaten the same rations. This is accounted for by the ability of the negro race to endure hot weather and to resist miasmatic poisons. It is also true and noticeable everywhere that the regular soldier knows how to live in camp and how to take care of himself on the inarch much better than the volunteer. He is hardened to hardships and cxiiosure. He is

INVESTIGATION IS ORDERED. M-li--- '". "f, fot..t. f'-i-i . cased of Neerlitfence.
An investigation has been ordered of the charges of negligence made against
the medical deptrtment at Camp Thomas. Orders have been sent to (Jen. II. V. Bovnton to find out what is the reel basis
of the many complaints as to conditions
nt fbiikamauea. and who is to lilatrae.
If the renort of Gen. Boynton fixes the
responsibility tiie party or parties named will be immediately brought to trial by court martial.
Surgeon General RternDiTg says mere has been more siekness at Chickamaugn thin in any other cuuip. The innestigat n under Gen. Boynton will be farreaching, as the natural surrouadings at Cliickamauga were such 11s is thought to be conducive to health. Notwithstanding th." practice during the civil war cf keeping men in one camp continuously only for about a week and of putting them together in numbers not to exceed a division, 40.im1 men hav been crowded together in Chickamauga for about three months. The inquiry will proceed upon this basis: To discover why a protest from Surgeon General Sternberg has not been forthcoming against such an unheard-of disposition of troops for so long a time.
Tim tiereentaire of fever cases will be
eomna red with those of other cnirps. and
thi? number of nurses and doctors will be noted, and if not found to be sefficient.
such finding will be embodied in the re

th.; root of the evil may be quickly found,
uive important effects. No doubt is felt hat, with Hussia taking the lead in such step, Germany, France and the other istions will be ready to follow. The news that Czar Nicholas has star
tled the world with a letter advocating an international peace movement, with
the ultimate object of cutting down stanuing armies and putting all civiliied nations on a peace footing, has drawn attention to the facts nnd figures surrounding the vast armies maintained by the Euronenn powers and the enormous saving re
