Gomez , It appears , has been pro testing against the Cuban government's yielding the control of the affairs of the Island to the Araerlcans , nnd the explana tion for rcslKJilrte was his disapproval of "passive submission to conditions tending to the practical 'retirement ' of the Cuban republic , as such , and the establishing of the absolute dominion of the United States. " The 'CUbans at Santiago were much ex cited by- the report and there was an ani mated scene at the San Carlos club this morning when the matter was discussed.

Proper care of cemeteries has become al most a profession , and the men so engaged have organized themselves Into nn associa tion through the annual meetings of which they may Interchange Ideas and learn the best practical1 methods of making the cities the dead attractive and pleasant. The ivelfth annual meeting of the Association of merlcan Cemetery Superintendents Is now Ing held In Omaha and the first session was eld yesterday'morning at the Dcllono hotel , ho attendance Is goodi and manV men un- cr whogo care aovcral Cemeteries In this ountry have achieved a national reputation TO hero to tell how they have made their uccess. After the customary opening formalities nd a prayer by Rev. LaRoy S. Hand of this ty Mayor Jloorcs was Introduced to wcl- Omo the delegates , nnd while the purpose nd character of the meeting are not such .s to bo the source of much fun , the mayor reatcd so plenslng nn Impression that t'he ssoclatton extended him a rising vote of hanks. The president of the association , George V. Creesy of the Harmony Grove cemetery t Salem , Mass. , made his annual address , lo in ado special reference to the opportunl- los before the younger superintendents , and dvlsed them to lese no opportunity to visit ther cemeteries , and by Inquiry learn the oat there was In the methods for the raan- Kcment nud care of si'ch piopcrtles. He cfcrred to several of the beautiful burying round Bin some of the eastern cities which iftvo become famous , and recounted the vork and patiences It requited to place them n this advanced position. Referring to the soldiers who have been burled In Cuba , ho bought It was the duty of this association o take some steps to see that those graves ro properly cared for. llcixirt of the Secretary. Tha secretary and treasurer , Frank Eurlch if Woodward Lawn , Detroit , made his re- iort , In which ho advised changing the nauui if the association that It will not raply that only superintendents are llclble to membership , as any one con nected with the care or management of emcterles may join. Ho thought such hango would contribute to Increasing the membership , which had remained about sla- lonary for a number of years. In his finan cial statement ho reported the expenses for ho last year at $432.30 , with a balance on hand of $256.46. An amendment to the by-laws was made whereby all applications for membership hall bo referred to a committee on mem bership before action by the association. As uch committee the president appointed G. I. Scott , G. M. Painter and R. IX Uolce. The first treasurer of the association , L. J. Wells of Greenwood cemetery at Brook- yn , N. Y. , died during the year , and n committee on resolutions In his memory ivos appointed , composed of 0. S. Slmonds , W. A. Morrow and A. W. Dlain. Other committees were appointed as fol- ows : General resolutions , J. F. Boerckel , A. L. Glasor and AI. M. Jones ; place of next meetlnjr ; David Woods , G. W. Beehel and F. A. Sherman ; to audit claims , J. R. Hooper , W. A. Morrow and A. C. Nallor. Ilonr Sonic I'miern. In the afternoon O. C. Slmonds of Chicago cage read a paper on "Our Association , Its Objects and What Has Been Accomplished. " Ho said the purpose of the work was to keep the cemeteries as pretty and attractive as possible , as this contributed' largely toward assuaging the grief Incident to the loss of a loved one. It was necessary then that the men engaged In this work should meet frequently to get the benefit of any new Ideas which may be developed. In a. paper on "Why Now Cemeteries Should Adopt the Lawn System , " A. W. Hobert of Minneapolis advocated the doing away with monuments and mounds In ceme teries. His Idea was that lots should be marked by posts only as high an the grass , establishing a uniformity In the grounds , which has a far more beautiful effect than Indiscriminate monuments and Ideas ol landscape gardening by lot owners. A paper by Bcllett Lawson of Wllkes- barre , Pa. , on "What Trees and Shrubs Are Suitable for Cemetery Embellishment , " was read and In It the writer divided the coun try Into four sections , with a certain class of trees and shrubs for each section , based upon climatic conditions. He was opposed to experimenting with trees which wore nol adapted to the locality , but thought super intendents should use judgment In selecting only those which experience had shown would do well , An hour was then devoted to discussing various matters suggested by the paper : read and It developed an Interesting session as many new Ideas were brought out. Al the close of the debate the meeting ad journed to Llnlngcr's art gallery , where they spent the rest of the afternoon. Uuentlon of Sunday FimerulH. The feature of the meeting last evenlnj was an address by Rev. S. Wright Butlc of this city on "Sunday Funerals. " Th peaker paid a beautiful encomium to th work of the cemetery superintendents , say Ing they are 'the guardians of the mos sacred treasures of the people. On the qucs tlon of Sunday funerals ho said It Is a matter tor which the members of the associatlo : feel more keenly than pastors , because the have experience every Sunday. Ho feels tha the Sunday funeral Is possessed of Pee rauc ! of a commercial nature , where this day 1 selected that the services might not Inter fere with business , and as n time when thcr will be a largo turnout by the public. II thinks a week day funcrar , with a small at tendance of genuine mourners far mor preferable. Papers on "Tho Importance of System I Cemetery Management , " and on "Ccmetcr Records , " In a largo measure covered th same ground. The authors of neither c the papers were present , but their paper were read by others. The arguments wer for business methods and definite plans 1 all departments connected with the manage ment of the cemetery.

FIND A DISMEMBERED BODY I'nrtn Cnrrfully Wrappi-il I'p In Hull- ln-r Cloth nnil TUrinTii In the Itlvrr. BRIDGEPORT. Coun..Sept. 13. All the parta oi the dismembered body of the ) oung woman HO mysteriously murdered and mutilated nnd cast In the waters of the Yellow Mill river have been fouud. " "he trunk was discovered today. The upper half , with the arms attached , was In one package , while the lower part of the body was In a second package. The upper half of the. body was wrapped In what appears to be half of n black rubber carriage blanket. There were two eyelet holes In It. The abdominal part of the trunk was snallied In a white rubber sheet , such as Is used In surgical operating rooms. This alter circumstance , together with the plain evidence that the body was severed like the cgs and the head , by using a keen knife and a perfected edged saw , leads the police to the conclusion that the mutilation nnd presumably that the murder wiis done by n surgeon. The upper halt of the trunk was Intact. The stomach , liver and other organs located In the upper part of the human anatomy are all In place , but the abdominal portion of tbo body ban been desolated of nearly every organ. This suggests dual the young woman was the victim of a criminal operation at the hands of physician who brought his skill Into play In an effort to destroy the evidence of the crime , as well as 'to ' destioy the body of the victim of his malparactlcc. The llrst discovery In this tragedy was made yesterday when two boys found a bundle In the Ytllow Mill river that con tained the legs of a woman. They wcro wrapped In cloth and n white rubber sheet such as used by physicians and nurses. One leg was chipped In two. Both were cut off at the thigh. Another bundle was found a little later containing the head of a woman 25 jears old. It was wrapped In a piece of man's underwear nnd rubber. It was tied with a coret string. A piece of muslin In the woman's mouth Indicates that she was gagged with It or perhaps smothered.
