the African negro who recently mar
ried a white woman there, accom-
panied by other men of his race,
was arrested there yesterday for max.
ing indecent attacks upon white woD-
en-. So it seems that his otfense is
characteristic of his race, and maniiests
itself in England as we'll as in this coun-
try.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, March 49,
General Leonard Wood, Military Gov
ernor of the Department of Santiago,
in the presence of the adjutant gen
erals of the department, Colonel Bacon
and Captain Gilmore, Captain Scott,
Captain of the Port, and other officers.
positively identified yesterday the re-
mains of the Spanish officer discovered
a few days ago among the rocks on
the shore about four miles west of Ell
Moro, as those of Admiral Villamil,
who commanded the Spanish torpedo
boat destroyers in the naval battle
which resulted in the destruction of
Admiral Cervera's squadron.
Accompanied by the officers named
and by others, General Wood went in
a tug to investigate personally as to
the truth of the report that the body
of a Spanish officer had been found,
tied in an armchair, at the point deSg-
mated. The report proved well founded.
Nearly opposite the point where the
wrecked torpedo boat destroyer Pluton
lies General Wood found an armchair
with ropes around it. skull, bones on
the ground and the ragged remnants of
the uniform of a captain in the Span
ish navy. 1t was evident that the buzz
yards had stripped the bones of flesh.

the body being left abandoned among
the rocks where it remained undiscov-
cred until a few days ago.
Admiral Villamil. it is known, was
wounded in the right arm and left leg.
General Wood put the bones together
showing the unmistakable marks OF
wounds in these places. The Identified
ton was in every respect complete.
In the pocket of the coat was found
the fleet countersign for June 26, signed
by the late Captain Oviedo Busta-
mente, then Admiral Cervera's chief
of-staff.
Colonel Bacon and Captain Gilmore
carried the armchair, the. tattered uni
form and the bones, tied together by a
handkerchief, to the tug. which lay
about four miles off. The Identification
caused a sensation among the Span
iards here as Admiral Villamil was one
of the best-known strategists in the
Spanish navy and man held in high
esteem by his countrymen.
General Wood, through the War De-
partment. will notify the Secretary or
State of the finding of the remains so
that they can be removed TO Spain, II
the Spanish Government so desires.
Pending final disposition they will be
kept at the arsenal here. The tattered
uniform will also be held subject to
Spanish orders. The armchair is at
present in charge of Captain Scott.

CELEBRATORS COLLIDE
WITH HAVANA POLICE

HAVANA, March 13. - FREDERICK
Mora, civil Governor of Havana, when
he learned this morning of the prepara-
lions for an outpouring of the people
in honor of General Gomez, directed
the police to prevent the parade. The
committee having the demonstration in
charge asked General Ludlow to revoke
Senior Morals order. General Ludlow
replied that he would not do so.
General Brooke was then called upon
and asked by the committee for per-
mission to parade. He sent a message
to General Ludlow saying that If the
procession was orderly he could see no
objection.
Meanwhile the police tried to pre-
vent the demonstration. Chief of Po-
lice Menoeal, with his mounted in
spectors and policemen by twos and
threes, attempted to turn back the
various societies who were marching
toward Quinta de los MolinaS, the resi-
dence of Gomez. AT first little atten-
ton was paid to these efforts. When
a policeman seized a flag or made an
individual arrest, the others in the line
would simply march on, jeering and
yelling Down with the police" Long
live Gomez Death to the Assembly"
Colonel Raoul Arrange, an inspector.
took a flag away from an American
who was parading. Immediately sur
rounded by a menacing crowd he
dubbed one of the demonstrators till
the blood flowed. Then, dismayed by
the savage yells of the wounded mans
companions, he withdrew to another
point Chief Menocal was Knocked by
the crowd in the Tacon walk. When
near Quinta de los Molinas the demon
strators began to shove the policemen,
pulling their coats and attempting to
take away their clubs. There were
more than a hundred police within ten
blocks, but they did not act together.
Indeed they were thoroughly scared
and one policeman ran to Central Park,
where the Tenth regulars were camped
The Twentieth regulars, who were
sent at double-quick with fixed bayo-
nets to protect the policemen, charged
down upon a crowd of a thousand
Everybody ran, including the police,
and men, women and children tumbled
over each other in the rush. Two min
utes later the avenue was cleared for
blocks. but not a person was hurt by
the regulars.
Eventually, without regard to the
notice an immense crowd collected in
front of the residence of Gomez, the
summer palace, cheering and waving
more than 500 flags and banners. Cen
eral Gomez accompanied by many no.
ia BILE persons soon made his appearance
upon the balcony and was greeted with
long continued cheers. Scores of bou-
duets were flung at him. He made a
brief speech along the line of his ap-
peal to the Cuban army and people of
yesterday and expressed his gratifica-
fion at such an illustration of spublic

position on the left of the place, with
the cavalry in the center, Whereupon
the enemy retreated to the town. The
gunbOat then moved into a bend oppo-
site and a hot fire on the rebel position
was maintained along the whole Amer
lean line until 2:20 p. m, when prepa-
rationS were made for the attack.
AT p. m. our gunbOat started in pur-
suit of the enemys armed tug, chasing
her to the lake. At $3.50 p. m. large
body Of the enemy was discovered
working around our right flank, and
the Twentieth Regiment was moved to
a commanding ridge. The rebels were
met opposite PaterOs, but the enemy
bolted. Thirty of the rebels were killed,
as already cabled, sixteen more taken
prisoners and the Americans lost six
men wounded. The whole American
line biYouacked at o'clock. About 700
rebels were reported to be marching
northward a few miles to the south
west.
Negotiations between General Rios
and Aguinaldo for the liberation of the
Spanish prisoners have been stopped,
owing to Otis refusal TO allow the
Spanish commission to return to Ma
lolos on the plea that if the ransom
was paid 1t would increase the strength
of the insurgents against America.
General Otis has also refused to al
low General Rios to take arms and am
munition from Manila to reoccupy the
Carolines. It is reported that the Span
iards at Zamboanga sold a quantity of
ammunition to the natives of Minda-
mao, hence their shortage.
The steamer Puerto Rico will convey
troops from Zamboanga to reoccupy
the Carolines, the MarianaS Ladrones)
and Palaus.
The Spanish gunboats Ell Cano, Sa-
mar, Readagua, Pampanma, Albayo

wales, lying at the Zamboanga Islands,
off Mindanao, have been sold to Fran

They will probably be resold to the
highest bidder or they may be trans
formed into merchantmen.

HAVANA, March 13.-The Cuban AS

declaring Senior Gonzales de Quesada

'accomplice of Gomez" and asking for
his expulsion. 1t was carried by a viva

A committee of three was then ap-
pointed to draft an address to the Gu

However, Majority Of the Native

Special Dispatch to TIL. Call.

HAVANA, March ia public mani
festation on the part of the different
patriotic clubs, in which the general
public assisted, was held this afternoon.
The people who took part in the dem
onstration marched with music and
banners to Quinta, where they expressed
to- General Gomez their adherence to
himself and their disapproval of the
action Of the Cuban Assembly in re-
moving him from the office of general
in-chief of the Cuban army.
There were cheers last night for Gen
eral Gomez in Central Park and cries
were raised against the Cuban military
assembly In the evening at the thea
ter the public vociferously applauded
General Gomez and Cuba. The feeling
against the assembly is still growing.
Should a portion of the Cuban army
support the assembly in rejecting the
Gomez-Porter agreement and in refus-
ing to disband without larger sum
than Sc, 000, 900, forcible disarmament, in
the opinion of Americans we'll qual1heo
to judge, would follow. This is the only
grave fact in an otherwise entertaining
sequence of incidents.
The United States is completely COM
mitted to the arrangements made by
Robert P Porter with General Gomez
and the details of the plan of distribu-
ton are already far advanced. The
opinion of Cuban civilians is that
considerable portion Of the army, prob
ably the larger part, upholds Genera
Gomez in his contract with the Unitec
States, and therefore the American mil
itary government sees no other way t(
the disarming of any faction of the
Cuban troops which, being duly warned
should persist in keeping the field.
