to-day, The body has been lying In
state at the headquarters Of the Hava-
ma Trades Union. When the coffin was
taken into the street, brief speech was
made introducing Falco, the Italian So
ciallst, the speaker saying that Falco
was the most fitting man to mako the
address on such an occasion, because
he was lover Of liberty and had fol-
lowed Garlbaldi.
Faico was about to deliver an oratlon
when an Inspector Of police interviewed
and said he could not allow him to
speak, as he had received instructions
from the authorities to prevent any ad-
dress by, FAlco. The crowd cheered the
Italian and told him to go on, but the
police charged and knocked down sew
eral persons and the crowd rapidly dis
persed. Several prominent Cubans
made loud protests
A procession was then formed and the
remains were taken quietly to the GEM
etery, large body Of police accom-
panylng the demonstrators. The au-
thorlties had received an intimatlon
that ana.chistlc speeches would be
made to Incite the crowd. Falco was
expected to be the chief offender. Civil
Governor Nunez, having in view the
spread Of anarchistic doctrine among
the Havana laborers, is resolved not to
allow public meetings where it is
known that demagogues will make ap-
peals to popular passion,
The Patria, quoting General Ludlow's
assertion shat the present generation
Of Cubans must pass before the Cubans
will be able to constitute their own gov
ernment, and that the island, II the
Americans were to leave 1t now, would
become a second Hayi,' says:
''The opinion Of General Ludlow has
no effect on the Cubans, who had been
told the same thing by the spaniards
for half century. The present gener-
alton has not fought two wars in order
to become a second Hayti. nor viii 1t
walt such long time for Cuban gov
eminent us General Ludlow names.
Cubaus know that the island cannot be-
come another Hayti and they mark all
such prophecies with the words Inde-
pendence or death"
The Nuevo Pals, commenting upon
General Ludlow's declaration says:
"The high opinion which the govern
ment Of the United States has Of Gen.
eral Ludlow renders 1t probable that a
long time will elapse before free and
Independent government is established
in Cuba.
Since the Cuban League and the Ma
tlonal party Joined forces. there has
been but little harmony at the meetings
of the delegates, Matters have gone
from bad 10 worse, and the proceedings
have BECOME more and more disOrderly,
Collazo is not alone In his refusal to CO.
operate farther In the Just delibera-
tions. There is, however. small Sec
ton OF men who earnestly desire to
shape AFFAIRS so that the business Of or
ganlEation can be carried forward, and
a resolution will be proposed that con-
gress be petItioned to allow an election
to be held next February for a presl-
dent, vice president and two members
at large for a province, with one cddi-
tional for each $4,000 of the population,
no city to have more than two. who
should form a cortes, to act with an up
per chamber, consisting of one member
representing each province and six Sec
retarles, appointed by the president, as
a cabinet, the vice president to preside
in the upper chamber and to have the
casting vote in the event of tie,
Beyond this, the resolution will ask
congress to turn over the administers
tlon Of the Cuban affairs to these duly
elected representatives as soon as the
has been held, but to continue
the military occupation to the extent of
/, 900 troops, stationed at such points as
may be deemed advisable and to leave
one American general in command.
Furthermore, still following the terms
Of the resolution, President Mckinley
Will be asked to appoint either General
Wood or General FItzhugh Lee to this
command, on the understanding that
one OF the palaces In Havana is to be
placed at the officers disposal ana that
his advice will be welcomed and ac-
cepted by the Cuban president and cab
lnct, 30 far as 1t may be practicable"
Under this scheme the Cuban flag
would be the official flag OF the country
and be hoisted over all public buildings
and forts. except those occupied by the
American troops, The veto OF the
president could only be oVcrruled by Il
four-afths vote In joint session of the
chambers, Cuban finances would "be
conducted in such manner us to rem
der scandal impossible"
The salary OF the president would be
10000, for the vice president $4,000. OF
n member of the upper chamber $1,000
and OF n member Of the lower chamber
I9,5OO, The term OF Office would be four
