Washington, Dec. 1.-THE solemn
high mass of the Catholic church was
performed over the remains IF Gen.
CaliXto Garcia at st. Patrick's church
Tuesday before the body Of the dis
t!nguished Cuban leader was commit
ted TO the vault in the National cem'-
terry at Arlington. The service was
notable in the distinguished gathering
present. All the honors of war that
could be melted out to national hero
were bestowed by this government
upon the lion-hearted old Cuban. Ho-
yana itself would scarcely have poured
forth larger crowd than gathered in
and about the church, and the most
radical of the Cuban Independence
could not have picked a flaw in the Off
cial marks of consideration best owed
upon the remains of their venerable
leader.
