a letter to-day from Charles Vanderbilt
offering a plot in the Sleepy Hollow ceme-
terry for the burial of the victims, and
another from Stephen Merritt, offering a
plot in Green Lawn cemetery, Long ISL

Havana. March 25.--At the secret session
of the Cuban military assembly yesterday
II was resolved that dissolution of that
body at the present time would be preiu-
dicial to the interests Of the army, hence
il was decided that the argument on the
dissolution motion, set for to-day, should
be postponed for one week
1t was also decided to make another ef-
fort TO save the situation by sending Sc
nors Hevia and Villalon to Washington
in order to state the case of the assembly
TO President Mckinley and TO attempt TO
gain his cooperation in the efforts of the
assembly TO raise more money for the

pose of endeavoring TO obtain more money

forlorn hope. This action is necessary IN
order to obtain a unanimous vote upon
the question of dissolution, as some of
the members insist that every effort should
be made to raise money before quitting the
field. Little doubt is felt that next Satur-
day will see the end OF the assembly.
