Havana, Dec. 22.-It now appears
that the raising of the Stars and
Stripes over Fort Atares on Tuesday
by Major Russell b. Harrison was a
surprise to both the United States and
the Spanish military commissioners.
The American commissioners had
agreed that no American flag should
be raised until Jan. l. Major Harrison
did not know this, and when told to
occupy the fort with a detachment OF
the First North Carolina regiment he
promptly raised the flag. Nevertheless
though it flies in full sight of the har-
Dor and city, the Spaniards have not
complained, and it has not heen or,

TO SUCCEED MR. BLISS.
Ethan Allen Hitchcock the New
Secretary of the Interior.
NOW AMBASSADOR TO RUSSIA.

Mr.. Hitchcock Became Close Friend
of the President When the Latter
was Chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee of the House.
Washington, Dec. 22.-The president
yesterday nominated Ethan A. Hitch
cock, of Missouri, to be secretary Of the

pointed minister more than a year ago,
and when the rank was raised to an

He is a great grandson of Ethan Allen

DUNNINC LIBERATED.
Objectionable Question Withdrawn
in the Botkin Case.
PROSECUTION RESTS ITS CASE.

Mr., Dunning, on Resuming the wit
uess stand, Gave Further Damaging
Evidence Against the Prisoner and
His Reasons For Suspecting Her.
San Francisco, Dec. 22.-John p. Dun
ming, who was arrested for contempt
of court for refusing to answer certain
questions put to him by counsel for
Mrs. Botkin, was released from custody
yesterday. He appeared in court and
Attorney Knight withdrew the obnox-
ious question, thus giving Judge Cook
an opportunity to order his release. Mr..
Dunning then appeared on the wit aess
stand and gave further testimony point
ing to Mrs. Botkin as the guilty woman.
Mr.. Dunning was hauled over the
Goals for the attorney for the defense,
who persisted In trying to introduce
every disgusting detail of the case, in
spite of the protests of the witness,
who clothed his language, as well as
circumstances would permit, but leav-
ing no one in doubt as to Ms meaning
Nevertheless, the Botkin attorneys per-
sisted in asking pointed questions, and
insisted on answers being given in alb
solutely unmistakable language-the
language of the street. Dunning's ef-
forts to save the ears of his listeners
met with the appreciation of the more
respectable of those in the court room.
Dunning's testimony referred to tho
letters he had received and written
from and to Mrs. Botkln after he left
San Francisco for Cuba, where he was
a newspaper man " the field He ex-
plained that his hostility toward Mrs.
Botkin commenced on his receipt of
the news of the means used in causing
his wife's death. He said that Mrs,
Botl<in was the first person he thought
of who would have committed the
crime. His other testimony referred to
his relations with Mrs. Botkin. He ex-
onerated Mrs. Corbeilly and Mrs.
Calimberg of any wrongdoing in the
case and told of their friendly acts to
him and his family.
Handwriting experts showed almost
concluslvely that Mrs. Botkin wrote
the address on the candy box and the
anonymous letters
The prosecution then closed it's case.
The defense opened today.

London, Dec. 22.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of The Standard says: Much
surprise is expressed that Senor Sa-
gasta should be seeking a rather COM
promising alliance with the Weyler
party. 1t is supposed that his idea is
to compensate for the loss of some
thirty senators and sixty deputies who
seeded with Senor Gamazo, the leader
of the dissenting Liberals. General
Weyler is coming here to confer with
the premier, who is expected to accent
also the advances Of Senior Romero Y
Robledo and Senor Jose Canalejas.
This political trimming may prolone
the existence of the cabinet.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The last ses-

cess lasted but an hour. The Bailey
resolution directing an investigation of
the right of the members who volun-
teered in the Spanish war to

several bills Of minor Importance were
passed.
The absence of a quorum of the sen

providing for the appointment of a
committee of senators to Investigate
the conditions in Cuba and Porto Rico
during the approaching long recess of
congress from decisive defeat. An eff
fort was made by Mr.. Daniel, of Vir-
ginla, to obtain consideration for the
resolution, hut his motion mustered
only eight of the 80 votes cast. No
business of Importance was disposed of
at yesterdays session. Only some
routine business, including the passage
OF few private pension bills, was
transacted,
