while awaiting his turn to speak. Just
as the presiding officer was about to in
troduce the senator he was seen to sway
in his chair, and then fell helpless to the
platform. Two doctors who were in the
audience speedily made their way to his
side, and Woodmen formed in line to
keep the crowd back. The doctors worked
with him from a little after II O'Clock,
when he was stricken, until almost 2,
before the senator recovered consciousness.
He was then removed to a residence near
by, where he now is. The wife and son
ofsthe senator were summoned from Ne

during the afternoon with the family
physician. 1t had been intended to re-
move Senator Hayward to his home during
the afternoon, and up to about o'clock

IN HONOR OF GOMEZ.
Demonstration in Havana at Which
the Generals Praises Are
Loudly Sung.


HAVANA, Aug. 15.-At demonstration
in honor of General Gomez last evening, he
said he felt abashed that so large a con-
course of people should come to pay
tribute to his poor merits, as he was only
the brother of all Cubans.
Senor de la Tore, president Of the Cuban
National party, in replying. said: General
Gomez is not the brother but the father Of
all Cubans. Gratitude is the most sublime
C. national virtues. Some have tried to
quench this feeling, but they have failed.
General Gomez Is far above those who
are trying to detract from his fame They
are unworthy to kiss the sole OF his shoe.
Those who censure him are only trying
TO bring about discord among the Cubans.
Let them rather proclaim the union OF all
Cubans with MaXimo Gomez as the model y
The Patria says to-day: 1T does not
serve the cause of Cuba to write editorials
and letters to the press advocating, in
general terms union and the sinking OF
personal feelings. Those who wish to do
useful work for the cause should either
form local committee. If there is none in
their district. or join one already estab-
lished Although General Gomez and the
members of the assembly have served the
country well, there exists as yet no person
or party who can say that he or 1t repre-
sents the Cuban people.
Residents on Neptune street, where Co
mez is now living. have petitioned the
municipality to name the street after him
as being the first in Havana on which he
has had n house.
La Lucha says that the changed condi-
ton of the country needs a general re-
form in legislation and new judicial sys-
tenn. as the heritage from Spain is most
unsatisfactory" The paper bitterly at
tacks Senor Lanuza, secretary of justice,
for complaining of his assistants, asking
what right he has to complain, especially
in view of the fact that he chose them
himself, and charging him with being in
competent.
Senior Lanuza has finally obtained for the
Use of the supreme court a fine old build
ing in Cuba street, which originally cost
$3.50, 600. This has been purchased for $50. 900.
The necessary alterations will be begun at
once. and it is expected that the new court
house will be ready by the end of the year.

ture in Havana was 81 degrees.
