assembly did not exist He confer
red for two hours to-day with Gov.
Gen. Brooke regarding details.
Gen Brooke asked Washington
several days ago whether in case he
dissolved the assembly his action
would be approved The cabled re-
ply authorized him to dissolve that
body, if, in his judgment, such an act
was necessary He hopes the assem-
bly, will soon cease of its own accord
to hold its sessions, but should ses
sions disquieting to the public mind
continue he will intervene.

Nos Villamil's Body.

Washington, March Ia The Sec
retary of the navy this afternoon
received the following telegram !:
Portland, Ole., March IA.
Remains found in chair about four
miles west OF Santiago as reported in
to-day's papers, not those of Villamil,
bu: of Spanish seaman. Report fol
lows By mail. Proctor,
Asst. Engineer.
The officer from whom the above
message was received was an en-
gineer on board the Gloucester which
was the instrument that destroyed
the i'll fated Pluton, on board of
which Admiral Villamil started from
Santiago. He was in charge of the
landing party that went to succor of
the Spanish sailors who managed to
reach the shore from the sinking
vessel, aud were being fred on by
the Cubans While bringing this
particular seaman down to the shore
to take HIM aboard the Gloucester
the seaman died and his remains
were allowed to sit on the chair in
which the body had been conveyed.
Department officials believe that
ViIIamifs body lies at the bottom Of
the sea.

New Series-Vol. XVIII. No. "a

and less excitement is noticeable
This is partly due to the fact that the
assembly held no meeting. Rumcrs
are current that this self dissolution
is matter of the early future. At
meeting this morning the Cuban
generals Diaz, Robau, Monteaguado.
Nodarse, Perasa and others decided
to join with Gen Pedro Betancourt,
the commander of the Cuban troops
at Matanzas, in public declaration
of their position La Discussion
understands that they will side with
Gen Gomez. The paper continues
to print letters and kilograms from
all points declaring adherence to the
veteran patriots cause.
The United States military author
tiles publish the following statement !:
"We are officially authorized to
state that the president Of the United
States will not recognize any obllga
tion incurred by the body known as
the Cuban assembly, aud that all
reports and assertions to the contrary
are absolutely untrue"
This is perhaps due to story pub.
lished in the newspaper, Ell Recon
centrado, to the effect that repre-
sentative of an American syndicate
including Senator Hanna is now here
with view to making a loan to the
assembly.
There have been six designations
from the assembly since Sunday,
Generals and senoras Cespedes,
Monteagudo, Nunez, Leira, Mola and
Tamayo.
This afternoons demonstration in
favor of Gomez-in which ali the
patriotic clubs with banners and
bands, as well as many women and
children took part-was better or.
ganized than that of Monday, though
not so spontaneous Several thou
sand people paraded to the Quinta
de los Molinos, where Gen Gomez
resides He made his appearance
and addressed them, and the process.
sion did not return until after night
