Apparently there were no officials or representatives of the revolutionary forces present but the diplomatic representatives of seven countries including the United States were present and accompanied the remains from the train. The crowd at the train was small and orderly, no official honors are being accorded and it is reported that the funeral services this afternoon will be private.
