Santiago de Cuba, Oct. 10.- There was a great demonstration here yesterday upon the occasion of the ceremonies held in memory of the Cuban patriots, General Jose Maceo, General Moncada, General Crombet and General Sanchez, Colonels Garzon and Silva and Captain Bergues, who were killed in battle fighting for the independence of the island. Four thousand school children, representing thirty-two public schools, took part in the procession, in which representatives of the insular and municipal governments, members of numerous societies and thousands of veterans also participated. There were five carriages loaded with expensive artificial wreaths and flowers. It is estimated that 40,000 citizens marched in the procession, which was several miles long.
