Santiago, Cuba, March 14.-Gen.
Wood, in the presence of the sdju-
tants general of the department, and
other officers, has positively identified
the remains of the Spanish officer dis
covered a few days ago among the
rocks on the shore about four miles
west of FL Moro, as those of Admiral
Villamil, who commanded the Spanish
torpedo boat destroyers in the naval
battle which resulted in the destruc-
ton of Cervera's squadron.
Washington, March 15.-The secre-
tary of the navy has received the fol
lowing telegram, dated at Portland,
Ore:
"Remains found in chair about four
miles west of Santiago as reported in
anil, but of a Spanish seaman. Report
follows by mail.
Proctor, assistant engineer"
The officer from whom the above
message was received was an engineer

stroyed the Inflated Pluton, on board
of which Admiral Villamil started
from Santiago. He was in charge OF
the landing party which went to the
succor of the Spanish sailors who man.

the Cubans. While bringing this par
ticular seaman down to the shore tc
take him aboard the Gloucester, the
seaman died and his remains were al
lowed to sit in the chair in which the
body had been conveyed. Department
officials believe that Villami's body
lies at the bottom of the sea.

to this by Aguerro. which read: "To

with one shoe and bit of rope dang
ling form the ankle, was found Tues
day, tossing among the waves of Lake
Michigan near Hyde Park. The ro-
lice believe that it is case of murder
and that the rope ON the ankle was
used to anchor the remains below
the surface. At every joint in the
body there was cash and the belief
is entertained that the body was cut
in order to double it up into small
compass, that ii might be more easily
carried in a sack or box to the lake.

would punish the General.


Aguerro declared that Gomez was in
subordinate and should be punished,
and Sangilly insinuated that the gen.
eral was a traitor to Cuba. Much pas
sion was evident in the speeches. in
some of which Gomez was declared to
have been delinquent in his duties and
disobedient because he had accepted
the proposition of Robert P. Porter,
President McKinley's special emissary,
without consulting the assembly, be-
cause he had taken upon himself the
arrangements for the payment and dis
arming of the Cuban troops independ-
emit of the assembly and because he had
declared to the assembly that he would
observe its rulings in so far as he con-
sidered them beneficial to Cuba.
Three Millions Not Enough.
The assembly then declared that the
S3,OO0,O0O is insufficient, and it has not
yet accepted the proposition. The dis
cussion of this question will soon be
taken up, now that Gen. Gomez has
been removed. Gonzales de Queseda,
who accompanied Mr.. Porter in Cuba,
was attacked by sGualberto Gomez, San
gully and Aguerro, who declared that
he had acted in bad faith and had de-
ceived them. Aguerro likened the pres
ent condition confronting the assembly
to those that confronted the French
chamber when it was proposed to i'm
peach President MacMahon.
Enjoys the Situation.
Gen. Gomez received at Molinas Sat-
urday evening telephone message an
nouncing to him the assembly's de-
cision. He answered calmly: "AIl
right, I enjoy the situation" He then
came to Hanvana to keep dinner en-
gagement with his daughter at the
house of friend.
At the termination of the session of
| the assembly Mr.. Lastra strongly crit
icised some of President Andrade's rul-
ings, and was sharply called to order by
President Andrade, who Immediately
declared the meeting over. A violent
discussion ensued between Mr.. Lastra
and the president. Santa Maria, form
erly president of the Cuban republic,
was the second man signing the San
gully motion for impeachment as
amended by Aguerro,
| People DenOunce the Action.
The assembly is being strongly CEN
sured by Cubans on all sides, and there
were popular demonstrations Sunday
afternoon in favor of the deposed com
mander in chief, the crowds shouting
Long live Gomez!" and death to the
assembly," Gen. Gomez during the
day received numerous visitors, all OF
whom assured him of their affection
and loyalty and that the declarations
by the assembly, on whatever subject
could not represent even the army, as
the elections which gave its members
their present positions are really void,
able forillegality and political jobbery
There is no doubt that a majority OF
the people support him as against the
assembly.

A Misfortune.

At this period when SO many persons
are dissatisfied with the conduct of af-
fairs generally in the territory of
Uncle Sam it is to be regretted that
the announcement has been made that
the Daughters Of the Revolution and
the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton have refused to consider ANAL
gamatiOn. 1t has been hoped all along
that these descendants of the heroes
of 'I6 would settle their differences and
by marching under one banner relieve
the anxiety of the people as to the
genuine in the line of Daughters. 1t
is understood that both societies claim
features of superiority as puzzling as
the dividend sharing schemes of riva!
life insurance companies. If the two
organizations had been merged into
one grand body the public could heart
lily Join the fair ones in alteration OF
their proud lineage no matter how
marked the shrinkage might have been
since their ancestors fought and bled.
But with two organizations of femn-
inc revolutionary descendants in the
field the people will ever be in a guam
