mas Message 10 the People.

Havana (SpeciaD The body OF Gen.
Maxine Gomez, who died Saturday, has
been lying in state in the principal hall

OF honor surrounds the casket. There
was a continuous stream of people dehl-
ing past the body all day, eager to take
a last look at the old rcvolutioniSt, to
whom Cuba owes so much. In this,
however, they were disappointed, as the
face was covered. 1t is understood that
this was done at the request OF General
Gomez before he died, There were an
immense number of wreathS from Ha-
vana and other places. President Palma
has given up his living quarters in the
palace to the family OF General Co
meZ.
The Official Gazette contains a mes
sage from President Palma to the Cuban
people. In it he says that Major Cen
eral Maxine Gomez, chief of the liber-
ating army, is dead There is not a
single heart in Cuba which does not
feel wounded by so rude blow. The
loss is irrcparable. All the nation is in
mourning, and as all are identified with
the same sentiment of profound sorrow
the government need not stimulate 1t in
order that it be universal.
AT a session held after midnight Con-
gross declared Monday and Tuesday
days of national mourning 1t also pro-
vided that the body of General Gomez
should receive military honors CORE
spending with those that would be paid
on the death Of president Of the repub-
lie; that his funeral should be of a ma
tional character for which $4,000 was
appropriated The armed forces of the
republic will wear mourning for nine
DAYS.

10 which members Of these classes .of

Experienced by the immigration officers

for a consideration, a Chinese coolie
may procure in China a certificate that
he is merchant or a traveller or a men,

On its face, the certificate entities him

many frauds have been. discovered in the
matter of these certificates that the inn
migration officials examine all Of them
most carefully. That fact accounts for
the trouble experienced by genuine mer-

Thus far no feasible plan has been
worked out to remedy the trouble. OF

Of the freight train while the latter was
standing at Gorsuch Siding, and by
good fortune escaped with his life to
