Santiago de Cuba, Nov. 9.-The body of
who was killed at the battle of Ell Caney,
on July ], was shipped to Havana today
on the Spanish steamer Josefita, in
charge of Gen. Valderrama, who was sent
here by the Spanish authorities to pro-
cure the body for conveyance to Spain.
The body was sent here late yesterday.
After search that lasted two days
the remains were exhumed early in the
morning and brought into the city un-
der the escort of a battalion of the Fifth
Regular Infantry, Capt. Borden, accom-
panied by the regimental band. The pro-
cession from Ell Caney was headed by
Gen. Nalderrama. who was accompanied
by Lieut.. Matthew Z. Hanna, of Gen.
Woods staff
Every honor was paid to the memory of
the dead Spanish officer Gen. Wood with
his personal and the departmental staffs
stood in front of the palace with barred
head as the body was taken past Ev-
cry ship in the harbor flew its flags at
half mast when the casket was put on
board the Josefta. The standards on the
government buildings and the American
warships in the harbor remained at half
mast all day. When the Josefita weighed
anchor at 4:S0 o'clock and steamed down
the bay, the cruiser Cincinnati and the
gunboat Hist hoisted Spanish flags and
the Cincinnati fired salute of thirteen
guns.
The delay in finding the body was due
TO the fact that the grave had. been des-
ecrated. Gen. Lawton's troops buried
Gen. Vara del Ray with military honors
at the place where his body was found
When the Spaniards abandoned their in
trenchments the grave was covered with
a mound and conspieuously marked.
When Lieut.. Hanna went to look for
the grave he could not find it. The mound
had been leveled and the marking de-
stroyed- Thirteen graves were opened,
after which a Cuban, who knew the loca-
ton of the grave of the general. was COM
PEELED. on pain of Imprisonment, to tell
where ii was. The body was identified by
the long beard and the insignia of rank
and decorations on the uniform. Cubans
lined the route of the funeral procession
as 1t marched to the city and made ugly
remarks. One crowd was dispersed by the
police.

Capt. Carvalho a Spanish guerrilla who
was formerly member of the Cuban
army, and who deserted to the enemy, to-
gether with sixteen other guerrillas ar
rived here today on north coast steamer.
The Cubans had heard that Carvalho was
coming, and crowd gathered at the wharf
when the steamer arrived and stoned him
and threatened his life. Carvalho left the
steamer, in spite of the threats, where
upon the mob set upon him, and his life
was saved only by the Intervention of -four
American soldiers, who beat the crowd
back.
The other sixteen guerrillas, seeing the
reception that had been given TO Car
valho, remained aboard the ship. When
the matter was reported to tien. Weed,
he ordered that Carvalho's companions
should not attempt to land. a company
of soldiers was detailed to escort them
TO the steamer Josefita, and they s-.'led
for Havana with Gen. Valderrama ard
staff. The Cubans here declare that II
CarVaiho attempts TO return they Will
kill him.
Caryalho was a turbulent revolutionist
before he deserted to the Spanish and
Gen. Wood will not allow him or his
companions TO come here where there
are enough mischief-makers already.

evening on the gunboat Hist, with Lieut.
