 Senator Davis said:
 "The result of the election is, of course, very gratifying to me as republican. It approves the general policy of the admins tration and the principles of the party which it represents.

GEN. REYS BODY.
Dead Spaniards Remains Discovered
 Near Fl Clancy.

Santiago, November 9.-Word was re- ceived here late last night that after hard days search the body of General Vera del Rey had been discovered near El Caney in spite of the efforts of the Cubans to prevent it's recovery. At daylight this morning processions escorting the body commenced the journey toward Santiago and arrived at the outskirts of the city shortly after s o'clock, where it was met by four companies of the Fifth infantry and a band of music. These troops then escorted the body through the main streets of Santiago, the band playing the dead
 march from Saul" to the intense aston- ishment of the Cubans. who were unable to understand why honors should be paid to dead foe. many of them saying that the Americans are now favoring the Span iards.
 The remains were taken to an under taking establishment and when the body of General Santcides. who was killed by the insurgents at Bayamo at the outbreak of the instruction, is recovered the two bodies will be taken on board a mail steamer bound for Havana.
