Funeral of Mayor Vuliente

Santiago de Cuba, April 1.-The funeral of Mayor Valiente took place this afternoon with elaborate ceremonial. Colonel White side and several other United States of ficers acted az honorary pall-bearers. The military and Civil procession extended two miles.
 The death of Senor Valiente materially changes the political situation. His re-elec- ton was considered assured, but now there is a prospect of hard fight between the rival candidates of the black and white parties. Recent developments have shown that the color line will be closely drawn, and there may be trouble as the whites de- clare their intention to organize another party rather than to accept negro domina- ton.
 The quarantine regulations became eff fective today in somewhat modified form. No detention of outgoing passen3es will be required, unless a serious outbreak of yell low fever should occur.

Joint Debate Between the Two
 Candidates is Probable.
LIVELY TIME IS EXPECTED
MT. Tomlinson Speaks in Montgomery Tomorrow Night and Will Divide Time With Any Other
 Candidate

It is probable that Hon. John w Tom llnson and Congressman Jesse r. Stallmgs wih meet in joint debate. Some time ago MT. Stallings accepted a challenge from MT. Tomlinson for a joint debate and MT. Tomlinson, who opens his campaign in Montgomery county tomorrow right at the court house in Montgomery, several days ego notified MT. I5talllngs that ne would divide time with him any other candi- date, and if MT stallings accepts lively time is expected.
 Mr. Tomlinson said yesterday that, not %ithstand!nS he noticed in the afternoon paper names signed to a statement to the effect that the labor organtza tions were for General Shelley, that some Of the sign CTS were men whom he knew to be for him, as he had had statements from them to that effect, and one of them was mak- ing speeches for him. Mr. Tomlinson fur ther said, as he came in on the freight train from the speaking the other night the entire crew of white men told him they were for him, and laughed at the idea of certain fellows, who did very little work and a good deal of loafng, undertaking to speak for them as to how they would vote m the gubernatorial contest.
 He also said, while waiting at Oxmoor the other night to catch a train back into town after -e spoke there, he saw railroad men who came into the office after orders ai-- received assurances from them, and that the shop men in Birmingham, as he met them from time to time, gave him the same assurances Many of them who have children to educate are deeply interested in the fight against Ihe school nnol, tru., which he is making.
 MT. Tomlinson further said that he ex- peeted those who are in politics only for the money thcre IS in it to be against him. as he was not running a poodle campaign.

When last heard from she was several hundred miles from Maui. Three of her crew left the steamer in a small boat to go to Maui for assist ance. A steamer has gone to search for .her.

STREET COMMISSIONER
 SUBMITS HIS REPORT
Mr. McCartin Reviews the Work of His De- partment During Year 1899 and
 Makes Recomme n dations.

In submitting his report for the year 1899 Street Commissioner John McCartin sets forth that prison labor is used almost entirely, and points out the disadvantages of employing this kind of labor. The ex- pense of the street department for the year amounts to $21 ,612 g. All of the im- proved streets have been maintained in passable condition, and many have been entirely resurfaced and made new.
 The grading and opening of new streets has 6een confined to the outlying districts in order to provide ways by which resi- dents of these localities could reach the improved highways. Sidewalks have been constructed along many of the streets.
 The storm sewers have been kept in good condition, and many of the storm wa ter ditches have toeen enlarged or deep ened. The sanitary sewers have received careful attention. They have been thor oughly cleaned by having wire brooms drawn through them.
 The f1fteen-ton roller purchased by the city has proved of great value.
 Among other recommendations Commits sloner McCartin makes the following: q respectfully recommend unto your honora- ble body that you purchase suitable tract of land and erect thereon a stockade, with suitable buildings for housing the able Bodied prisoners, and that as soon as con Nicted they be transferred there from the city prison." He also recommends that stables and tool houses be erected. and that ten additional teams be purchased showing that the city owning its own teams provides a saving compared to the hiring of these vehicles. He recom- mendS further that new street sweeper be purchased, and that three street sprink- lers be put into service and charge be made against property benefited by the sprnklers. The tables attached to the re- port show that 12,300 cubic yards of street grading was done during the year.
