GEN. GARCIA's FUNERAL.
Cuban Officers Make Trouble About
Their Place in the Procession.

Ihelr Place in the Procession.
Havana, Feb. 1.-THE Cuban Gener-
ais and soldiers who were to take part
in the funeral procession of General
Garcia, withdrew to-day because they
were not allowed to march between
Governor General Brooke and his staff.
When General Brooke and his mount
ed staff, with the escort of troops from
the Seventh cavalry reached the palace
the Governor General was informed that
his carriage was to go Immediately after
the casket. He suggested that the chief
mourners should be General Garcia's
two sons Consequently they and two
friends occupied a carriage separated
from the coffin by the priests on foot.
After the sons came Governor General
Brooke with Generals Chaffee and Hum
phrey and Colonel Richards, of the Gov
ernor Generals staff in two carriages.
The Governor Generals mounted staff.
consisting of ten or twelve horsemen,
was closing in behind General Brooke's
party when the point was raised by the
Cuban Generals and members of the
Cuban military assembly that they
ought to be next to Governor General
Brooke and his mounted staff and es-
corting troops. This place, however.
was refused them.
The incident has caused intense feel
ing among the Cubans, who, it is said,
will probably appeal to the President.

ing intense, and in one days time
overthirty head Of the cattle died.
Flto Bros. became alarmed and
fearing the cattle might bc atflic-
ted BY some infectious disease, had
them isolated, and wired the bank
to delay payment Of the check
which was for $4,000, until the
matter could be investigated. Ex-
cessive hot weather and muddy

cause Of the death Of the cattle, and
Il compromise was effected between

There has been therefore a slight improve ment during the last few hours. M La- boris mother arrived here this evening She had believed him dead, and most affecting interview ensured. Later M. Labori received Matthew Dreyfus, brother of Captain Dreyfus. There is some talk of M. Albert Clemenceau, the younger of the two brothers, coming as substitute for Labori. The question, however, will be definitely decided to- morrow. M. Clemenceau was one of Zola's counsels at his trial and has fol- lowed the Dreyfus affair very closely While he lacks the magnetic influence of M Labori in pleading, he is extremely skillful in cross-examination

HERO ROBSON
 RESURRECTED Makes Report to the Depart ment on His Work
 at Manila.

Washington, August H.-Naval construc- tor Richmon P. Hobson was heard from by the navy department today for the first time, at any length, since he was assigned to duty in charge of the Spanish ships rais- ed from Manila harbor, and now undergo ing repairs at Hong Kong.
 His report Is unusually interesting, deal ing in general questions, such as the need of large dock yards in the Orient, the in- creasing shipping at Manila and the pros poets that Manila will succeed Hong Kong as the emporium of the east. He also says the three Spanish ships which are con- pleted will be worth to the government about $61900O and he contemplates trying to raise three more Spanish vessels now at the bottom of Manila Bay. The letter is addressed to Rear Admiral Hichborn, chief of the bureau of construction.

NEW ORDER OF
 RAILWAY EMPLOYES New Organization Born in Bir-
 mingham. MAY BECOME NATIONAL
For the Benefit ot Railroad Men in All Branches of the Business-Two Lodges Were Establish
 ed Last Night

The Independent Order of Railway Em- ployes is the name of a new organization which was born in this city last night and which, according to the plans of its organ izers, will soon spread over the entire country and become power in the land
 The new order, which is based upon the broad principles of fraternity and benevo- lenee, was gotten up by the employees of the Alabama Great Southern and Central Railway of Georgia, who are confident that 1t will grow and prosper as no similar order among railroad employees has ever done.
 Insurance Feature
 While insurance Is put forward as the principal feature of the new organization, it is intimated that there are other fea- lures which cannot fail to interest railroad men, principal among which is the thor ough organization of all white railroad em- ployes, especially in the souda, where the negro comes in competition.
 Two lodges were organized last night, one in this city and one in Avondale, and 1t is expected that within the next few days many more lodges will be added.
 The meeting was held at Engineers hall in Nineteenth street and twenty-two names were enrolled in the local lodge, which will have charge of the organiza- tion until sufficient locals can be organized to form grand lodge
 Any Brane h Of the Trade
 An outline of the plan of the organiza- tion was presented at the meeting and was extend to any branch of the trade from the highest to the lowest department, the only conditions being white face and a similar character.
 The following officers of the Birmingham local were elected for three months by which time it is expected grand lodge will be in existence:
 President-Oscar E. Fleming, fireman Alabama Great Southern railroad.
 Vice e-President-Vandie H. Greene, fire man, Central of Georgia railway.
 Secretary-Charles B. Wolf. switchman, Alabama Great Southern railroad.
 Treasurer-James J. McCraney, fireman, Central Railway of Georgia.
 The Kansas City and Louisville and Nashville employees will probably be or ganized in the next few days. Its organi- gers deny that the new order is fashioned after the defunct American Railway Union, although they express great admiration for Eugene V. Debs and the principles he stands for.
