and rendered valiant service during the
remainder of the Civil War. He was
made a Captain in 1867, Major in 1882
and Lieutenant Colonel in August, 1895.
His subsequent rapid advancement was
occasioned by the war with Spain, in
which he played an important part. He
was in command of a division in the
Santiago campaign and upon the evac-
uation of Cuba became Military Gov
ernor of Havana. In the latter posi-
ton he had to assume much of the la
Dor and responsibility attached to the
rehabilitation of the Cuban capital.
While nominally subordinate to the di-
vision commander General Brooke, he
was charged with the exercise of all
civil functions in Havana under the
direct authority of the President.

MEAT CONSUMPTION LEssnNED.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Ger
man meat inspection law, absolutely
prohibiting the Importation OF American
corned beef, sausagcs, etc, which went
into effect some time ago, has made no
friends, according to a report received
at the State Department from Unit ID
States Consul Diedrch, at Bremen. 16e
law has been the object Of very severe
criticism In Germany, according to the
Cousul and one of the most pointed mr-
guneuts against it has been that IT de-
f,ats its avowed purpose of promoting
pul c health, because the resultant
h gh prices OF meat lessen it's consurnp-
lion, while the health OF the German
ma ion demands an Increase. The fact
that the meat inspection law has put
the prices up is well established, accord
/ z to Consul Diedrich. and especially
among the laboring classes Is the LOGS
Of American corred beef at n low figure
most strongly felt.

BURIAL OF
HARRISON

INDIANAPOLIS, March 17.--In the
center of a hollow-square composed of
fully $4,000 of his fellow citizens, the
remains of Benjamin Harrison were
this afternoon inferred in the family lot
in Crown Hill cemetery. Close by the
grave We're the members of his family,
President Mckinley and other visitors
of distinction and the more intimate
friends of General Harrison. Back
distance of fifty yards, behind ropes
guarded zealously by a large force of
police, stood with uncovered heads the
great multitudes who knew him not as
well as did they who stood beside the
freshly upturned earth, but who hon.
orAd him and admired him fully as
much.
1t Is doubtful if any public man. at
least in this generation, was borne to
his last resting place among SO many
manifestations of respect. There was
no exception anywhere to the express
sions that the nation had lost one of
its ablest men, and the greatest man
of his generation In his own state.

excellent taste and like the proceedings

of friction in everything that was done.
All was well ordered and well per-
