HAVANA, Dec. 22.-The removal Of
the dead of the Maine was not accom-

bodies, as, newly coffined, they were
placed in the mortuary chapel of the
cemetery until all was completed. At
10 o'clock p. m. 10 wagons formed a
procession carrying l5l cofins to the
Machine wharf, kassing through un.
frequented streets. The bodies reached
the wharf at 1880 under strong guard
from the battleship Texas, were placed
aboard two steam lighters before day

PARTING Message to Americans Pleases
tho iritish Public.
LONDON, Dec. 22.-The parting mes
sage which General Lord Roberts sent
through the Associated Press to the
American people is republished in Lon
don and occupies the foremost place in
the afternoon papers here which charac-
terize the straight. simple words as EN-.
inently soldierly, and as having the
ring which it is claimed should mark
the relations between the Ang!o-Saxor
peoples Although it arrived too late
for the usual editorial comment on it
contents. the display headlines show
that his references to Americas friend
liness and Canada's patriotism and hi
reputation of the charges of Irish dis
loyalty are widely approved.

WARMLY GREETED.

Welcome Given Wood at Havana Il Cn.
paralIeled in Cuban History.
HAVANA, Dec. 22.--The welcome
given General Wood on entering Ha-
vana was, according to the old resi-
dents. without parallel in the history OF
the island The elaborate display OF
bunting in the harbor and the multi
tude of boats and bands showed that
the hastily formed reception committee
mad done excellent work. Moreover
there was heartiness in the cheering
that was quite unusual.
The battleship Texas hoisted her flag
to return the Mexico's salute and
number of bands played continuously
around the steamer as long as General
Wood was on board.
Very beautiful was the display made
by the procession Of launches which
escorted the new governor general to
the shore. Many of the launches towed
large and gaily decorated boats.
Governorship Transferred.
During the morning there was COM
nle,e stream of callers at the Hotel
Inylaterra. where General Wood Will
remain until General Brooke's depar-
ture. During the next few days Cen
eral Wood will only attend to routine
| work at the palace. He is the reclp'
lent of numerous invitations to stay a.
priyate houses. but has felt 1t wiser K
remain at the hotel.
Accompanied by General Chafiee ant
Lieutenant Brooks, General Woot
called upon General Brooke at noon
when the governorship was ofhclall!
transferred. The retiring governor gen
eral will leave for the United States OF
Saturday. :,
The local papers devote considerable
SPACE to the reception, declaring ina
General Wood is the most acceptabI
man who could have been appointed I
bring Cuba out of her difficulties an
into quiet harbor. La Lucha says:
His First Act Favorable.
.His first act is enough to ingratiat
himself with the Cuban people, Decaus
he declared that he had no intention

which Cubans will keenly appreciat'
as il indicates that he means to rel

will feel that no other American woul
no received here with such heartfelt r
ioicing. Our people, of all shades
oninion. will give him all the assis

DEs MONIES, Dec. Something
like one-third of the Republican men,
bers Of the Legislature are now in the
city and the number is growing. All
attention is given to the speakership
fight. The supporters of Eaton for
speaker, who represents the candidacy
of A. 3. Cummins for United States
senator. give out now that they have
pledges of majority of the members
of the Republican house caucus, and
are assured of winning.
The Gear senatorial organization has
sent for its friends in all parts OF the
state to come and assist in the fight for
Bowen for speaker. They say Eaton
forces succeeded in starting a small
stampede for short time, but j. W.
Blythe Of Burlington. son-in-law and
political manager for Senator Gear, Is
now on the ground in direct charge o.
the Gear ropes and the situation is I'm
proved for Bowen. Both sides still IN
