GARCIA REPENTS OF ANGER.

Write, to General fhafter Offering to Furnish Scouts. Gea. Garcia seems to be repenting of his wrath because Santiago was not turned over to the Cubans, and is indicating a desire to resume eo-operntmn with the American army. Gen. Shatter received a letter from Garcia, dated at Gibarft, Garda says that Gen. Miles on July 19 asked him to furnish fifty Cubans as scouts for the Porto Rican expedition. As he understands Gen. Miles has already sailed, it is perhaps too late to comply with the request, but he is willing to furnish the men, if they are still wanted, and Incloses an order for them. It-ls believed that Garcia, now that he has had

time to cool off. perceives that he acted with more hnste than good judgment in withdrawing his forces, and is seeking a reconciliation. Chinese Residents Loyal. Chinese residents of Pittsburg, Pa., evinced their ullegiance to the United States by raising an American flag on a pole costing several hundred dollars, and salting the flag with cannons and with firwrackers which were hung in immense festoons from wires stretched across the street Lee Yuhg, a laundry man, made a speech in English. He said the Chinese were thankful for the liberties they enjoyed under the Stars and Stripes, and were ready to fight for the flag as Dewey’s Chinese had fought at Manila. .
