,I,,In,,t t, ,i, n eral Grant

Washington, February 22.-The house committee on labirry to-day favor ably reported a bill making an appropria- tion of 5000 for the preparation of plans. or designs for a memorial or statue of Gen. cral Grant to be erected at Washington.
 The bill, upon which the report Is based, was introduced by Representative Meyer of Nebraska. The report reviews the life of General Grant. saying in part:
 His errors of judgment. his failures and afflictions only mark him as human. His great work shows theI touch of divine in- spiration.' "" s.,, .
 That no. memorial or moAp9lt has: ever been greeted at the na'tiopf }eapftbl tos the memory of this great n5 <ays the report, seems almost incredibll T1ie marks and tions5 of Washing every where reveal monuments to great men, who served under General Grant, while he, the greatest of them all Is not remem- bered in this way" s es

QUESTION OF VOTING
Gen. Wood Grants Right to Those Who
 Renounce Nationality

Havana February Ex-Governor General Wood has decided to issue an order that persons, Cubans by birth who renouneed their nationality during the Spanish regime in order to become American citizens, but who are now ready to fulfill the required conditions, may vote at the coming cleo tlons. GIe also points out that it is gen. orally recognized that these men became Americans only for the purpose of self protection and dIaat they now desire to resume their Cuban nationality as soon as they can legally do so. The order will af- feet more than 30,O00, and it may result 2 in a complete change in the constitution of political parties, although it is believed that the cuban-Americans will be fairly scattered among those existing.
 The second meeting convened to organ ize public opposition to ttle assumption by Monsignor Sharreti of the functions of bishop of Havana on the ground that he is a foreigner was held last evening. It was then stated that in consequence of the "maehinatiens of the Jesuits" women had been induced to send Monsgnor Sharreti telegrams congratulating him upon his ap- pointment and his forthcoming appearance here. In view of the impossibihty of pre- venting the arrival of Mons.gnor Snarreti 1t was decided to call a mass meeting to be held on the square in front of the cathedral a week after his coming to protest against his entrance upon his ecclesiastical duties. It was also decided that committees should be organized throughout the island to work for the isolation" of Monsignor .Sharreti in case it should be impossible to secure his recall.
 Washington's birthday was celebrated in Havana by the closing of government of- fees, but apant from the usual display of flags the only building decorated was the University.
