tlui increasing stiaincd relations bo
tweon tho Americans and General Car
Gift's Cuban soldiers. Indeed tho situ,
alion has now reachod a point where
thortj, is practically no communication
botwuen tho aruiios and their relations
border on tho.so of hostility rather than
tho relations which ono would suppose
should exist botwoou u!l. When (Imi.
Hhaftoi announced his decision not to
lot tho C'ubun .Innta outer tho city of
Santiago, iloop mutterings were hoard
anions tionorai tlarcitt* inon. It was
evident that tho t'libans woro greatly
disappointed at tho Stop takou by tho
American commander, for they had
confidently counted upon having San
tiago turned over to thorn to loot and
plundor, as they had in succession
sacked Uaniuiri, Sibonoyand El Cauoy.
Consequently thou disappointment was
keen when thoy ascertained that they
woro not to bo permitted to tako ikih
session of tho city upon (ieuerttl To

The Cuban soldiers now fully rouli/.o
that thero is a rising sontunont against
them in tho army. They hear nothing1
but words of scorn from our men as
they pass lugging their bacon and
hard tack into tho woods, liven our
officers no longer conceal thoir i^isgust
for their allies, ami it is understood
that tho warm friendship displayod to
