CUBA'S TITAN WARRIORS.
Exhumlng of the Remains OF Gen. An'

Annexation Argument.

Annexation Argument,
HAVANA, Sept 1.-THE ceremonies
Of exhuming the remains CT Gen. An
tonic Gomez and Francisco Gomez son
Of Gen. Maxine Gomez, took place at
Beiucal today in the presence OF a
large concourse. Two thousand peo-
pie went by special trains from Havana
and as many more attended from the
surrounding districts. Gov.-den. Brooke
was represented by Adjt.-Gen. Rich
ards The exhumatiOn was followed
by addresses. Gems. Gomez, Pedro
Betancourt and RUS Rivera, assisted
by committee composed of Adjt-Gen.
Richards and others, carried the re-
mains to a temporary shrine. The per-
manent mauseleum will be begun i'm
mediatcly.
The speakers expressed the opinion
that Maceo was the greatest man whom
the revolution had produced.
Gen. Rivera said: "In the presence
of the sad remains Of these Titan war
riors my grief overwhelms me. Maceo
afforded an example Of true patriotism
to all lovers Of Cuba. His poor body
lies before US, but his spirit is in the
air, urging Cubans to initiate him in
their readiness to die for their country
His remains will lie in temporary
abode until independence has been OBJ
= tanned as a permanent memorial Let
the Cubans strive to obtain that for
which Maceo fought and died"
Gen. LaCret said: "Maceo died the
:. death Of hero and his memory VIII
. live among US forever with that OF his
friend, Francisco Gomez"
= Gen. Gomez spoke briefly, declaring
T. that he was overwhelmed by the kind
- ness of those who were participating

Members of both houses are to be elect
ed by universal suffrage. Another
American idea is adopted in federal
supreme court. which will decide all
questions between two states or be-
tween the commonwealth and any
state, from which there will be no APP
peal, even to the privy council of Great
Britain.
As in Canada, the nominal head of
the government, the representative of
the sovereign, will be a governor gen
eral appointed by the British ministry
and not removable by the Australian
government The finances of the COM
monwealth. too, will be conducted on
the Canadian plan, for after the gen.
eral expenses are paid, the balance is
TO be distributed in fixed proportion
among the states.
The greatest novelty in the new con-
stitution is the provision for the event
of a deadlock" between the two
houses. In that case both houses are
to be dissolved and new houses elect
ed; and If the deadlock is renewed, the
question at issue is to be decided by a
majority vote in joint convention.
The capital of the new common
wealth-as in the case of both Canada
and the United States-is to be removed
from the controlling influence of the
great commercial cities. It is to be in
the state of New South Wales, but at
least 100 miles from Sydney.
