WHY CUBANs DIDN'T MARCH.
Greatly Modify Ill Feel
ing Engendered at Garcia's Funeral.

Havana, February l3-The ill-fceling
General Brooke over the question Of
precedence that arose in regard to the
procession at the funeral Of Gen. Garcia
ON Saturday, has greatly moderated in
the light Of explanations that have been
made On the other hand there is dis :
position now to censure the Cuban gen.
erals who, taking offence when none was
intended, ordered their soldiers out Of the
line and retired themselves. The other
Cuban generals are disposed to blame
Gen. Andrade for ordering his soldiers
not to march In the procession.
The Cuban generals In an assembly
composed OF military men, debated the
subject of the supposed insult to the
Cuban soldiers until o'clock Sunday
morning. After several officeIs had spok.
On in strong terms again.u the Ameri-
cans, 1t was decided to appoint commits
sion to investigate the occurrences OF
Saturday and determine whether or not
the conduct Of Major General Brooke
constituted AN offence. The commission
is instructed to report ON Tuesday. Cen
erals Lanuza, Capote and Menocal, who
wers present ut the meeting, talked Of
resigning the positions which they had
accepted under the United States gov.
eminent, but II was decided not to do so
at this time.
Major General Brooke was not informed
by The authorities at Washington ms TO
what honor he should render the late
Gen. Garcia until inquiry WAS sent
Thursday after the body of the Cuban
leader bad arrived. In response to this
inquiry Gen. Brooke was directed by
cattle on Friday to give full military
funeral. As the mayor and city council
OF Havana had already arranged ana
advertised an elaborate programme, IL
seemed to the military authorities here
that 1t would be unwise TO destroy the
Cuban programme and make Another con-
forming with the United States army
regulations Therefore as the programme
originally prepared provided for ample
representation Of the American military
forces, Gen. Brooke made 10 suggestions
concerning his own place In the pageant,
ex ept that at the palace, instead OF tax
Ing the first carriage after the casket Ne
proposed by the Cuban committee, the
son of Gen. Garcia be given that position
while he would take the second carriage,
which was done. The Cuban generals.
who, according to the council programme
were to be followed by all the American
officers, inquired OF Major-General Lee
through Gen. Lanuga, II Cen. Lee had
any objeetion to their going ahead OF him.
Gen. Lee replied that he had no objec-
tion. The Cuban generals then tried TO
get between Major General Brooke and
his staff, but they were crowded out.
This occurred half AN hour after the
procession started. although only four
CIR five blocks from tho palace. owing to
the frequent stops. Generals Lanu2a
and Capote, who stayed to argue with
TIE Cuban generals. were left behind. The
other secretaries Of the Cuban provisional
government, Alessrs. Desvernine anu
Vautz. were in the second carriage after
the one occupied by Mstor- General
brooke, and after them came tour mount
ed Urderiies leading horses.
