All Head Departments Have Been N O
 tifed

Havana, April 1-Governor General Wood ha ordered all heads of departments in the island to furnish 6 list of the emploves in the various branches of the state service. setting forth their respective salaries and duties and also offering an opinion with reference to what changes, if any, ought to be made in their compensation, and as to whether any of the employees are super- 1uous.
 These lists will be submitted to special committee, who will inquire into each case and will submit recommendations accord. ingly.

YESTERDAY WAS
 PASSION SUNDAY
Beginning of Most Solemn Part
 of Lenten Season.
THE CHURCH IMAGES YELLED
Services at St. Paul's Beautiful and Inn pressive-Father O'Reilley Preached on Necessity of Confession and
 Penance-Ma of Reqaiem

In the church calendar yesterday was Passion Sunday, the beginning of the more solemn part of Lent, called Passion-t tide. The Catho.sc ordo prescrbes that the im- ages of the church be yelled in violet and remain yelled until Holy Thursday. In some churches all the statuary and the stations of the cross are thus yelled, but at St. Pauls there was only the yelling of the crucafx on the tabernacle, this being sufficient to carry out the symbolic idea Of the custom. The name Passion Sunday dates from early times, but the yelling Of tae images is said to be comparatively modern. It is suggested by the last verse of the gospel of the day, St John, vii Christ had been speaking in the temple, and st. John closes his account of the Masters discourse with these words: Then took they up stones to cast at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them. and so passed by''
 On Passion Sunday the Judica Psalm and the Gloria Patria are omitted from the Introit.
 At high mass Father O'Reilly preached a strong and eloquent sermon on the ne- cessity of confession and penance. He pointed out the benefits which were derived from these acts. showing that good con- fesslons make for the welfare of society By eenfessing their sins people become hon est and charitaole The act is not only for their eternal good, but for their tenn roral good as well. The preacher said that confession had been the law in early her etlcai sects. Bodies separating from the mother church had held steadfastly to the confessional until Luther came
 During Lent, at mass on Sunday and at the Wednesday night services. Fatber oReilly in keeping with tine spirit of the penitential season, has emphasized with much force in all his dlscourses the eff cacy or prayer and of the sacraments of penance and holy communion.
 This morning at 8 o'clock at St. Paurs there will be q high mass of reouiem for the repose of the soul of Margaret E. O'Brien Davis
 At Other Churches
 Large congregations attended services at all of the city churches both in the morning and at night. Many able sermons were preached by the pastors, and altogether the spirit of holiness was abroad.
 Revival services were begun at the Chm berland Presbyterian church.. As his onen- ing text. Rev. l. D. Steele preached on 'The Harvest and the Keepers" A num- Der or additions to the church and Sum day school resulted. The church is in very prosperous condition, having received more than forty new members during the past few months.
 
 Dr. Steele will be assisted by Rev W. B. 1olmes' an earnest and attractive preacher. ana oscar Seagle, delightful singer, who VIII conduct the service tonight

Bryan On Democratic Platform and
Vice Presidency.

Mr. Bryan in regard TO the platform
to be adopted at Kansas City, said:
"Some idea could be obtained as TO
its general tenor from the platforms
aiopted in the State conventions.
As . large majority Of the delegates
have been elected by conventions which
reafiirmed the Chicago platform. it is
safe 70 assume that the Kansas City
platform will reaffirm the Chicago plat
form, and it will contain nothing
which can be construed as q surrender
OF modification Of the platform on the
old issues.
1t is equally certain that there will
be q strong and definite plank against
strusts There is also no doubt that
the plank against imperialism will be
clear and explicit Militarism will be
denounced and sympathy expressed for
the Beers. This much ia evident from
what has already taken place. F"
Asked IL there was any truth In the
rumors that O Yice.President wt}3..h he
chosen whose views on the money ques-
tion will be attractive 10 those whe op-
posed the ticket In 1895, Mr.. Bryan
said:
II do not care to discuss the Vice
Presidency now, further than 10 say
that assume that the candidate nom.
mated for Vice President will be in
harmony with the platform.
The Vice. President not only presidea
over the Senate while the President is
alive, bot assumes the Office Of Presi.
dent In case Of the Presidents death.
and it is hardly probable that delegates
10 a national convention would write q
platform and then select for either place
on ticket q man who would repudi.
ate the platform. No man worthy to be
considered for such an Office would ae.
cept q nomination upon q platform re-
pugnant TO his views On any present IT,
