The presentation Of the American flag,
won by the Ancient Order of Hibernians
at the cathedral fair. took place last even
ing at the hall Of the order, the Y. M. I.
and other organizations being present.
John F. Francis, chairman of the commit
tee, being unable to be present, had dep
uted Father Maloney to present the flag,
which he did in graceful and patriotic
speech. VIM. Alex Ryan, county president
accepted the flag on behalf of the order
and in the course of his remarks stated
that the Irish societies of Southern Cali
fornia stood ready to raise a regiment 10
defend the flag. This sentiment met with
an immediate and hearty response in Favor
Of such action. Patriotic speeches were
made by Mr.. Lanigan, Richard Dillon, Jr.
w. A. Driscoll, Father Clifford, T. J. Nc
Gonigle and others. The meeting closed
with a rendition of several patriotic songs
and Rotations and three cheers for the
Stars and Stripes.

A CONSUL'S DANGER
Brings a British Warship to Cuban
Port

KINGSTON, Jamaica, May S.-(Copy-
right, 1898, by the Associated Press) Tho
Direct West India Gable Company has re-
ceived the following from Barbados:
1.-The government has established a Gen.
sorship at this station to supervise and con-
troll the forwarding and delivering of tele-
grams with the view to carrying out strict
ly the neutrality laws
H. M. S. Alert sailed from Port Royal on
Saturday. Her destination was then I'M
known, as her instructions had to be opened
at sea. But it has since developed that she
was directed to go to Santiago de Cuba.
She arrived off port Sunday morning, but
did not enter the harbor, presumably on
account of the torpedoes. Her commander
sent boat ashore with an officer, who
called on the British Consul, F. w. Rams
den. On the officers return, the Alert sailed
for this port and arrived here today. She
was outside Santiago de Cuba for five
hours.
The health officer says the Alert brought
some passengers from Santiago de Cuba.
1t is supposed she went there in response to
the British ConsuPs cable dispatch of Fri
day last, asking for a warship as result
of the hostile demonstrations made before
the British Consulate
