eral order to the army thanking the soldiers
for their loyalty and fearless valor through
out his reign, and declaring that he viii ever
look upon the army as the shield and pro-

dian of European peace.

of cannon and grand reveille sounded
by the bugles of all the regiments of the gar
rison. The city was gaily decorated with
flags, and the streets were thronged with
people wearing black and yellow or red and
white favours and jubilee medals. The

The Cuban Commission

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The members
of the Cuban commission, headed by Gen
eral Garcia, called at the White House at
2:30 this afternoon and were soon ushered
into the cabinet room, where they were re-
ceived by the president. The meeting. how
ever, was entirely informal and unofficial
in character 1t lasted an hour and hall
The greeting of the president was very cor
DIAL but the distinguished Cubans were re-
ceived as citizens of Cuba, and not as hav-
ing an official status. Nothing could be
learned at the White House as to the sub
jects of the conversation.
Senor Quesada, who presented General
Garcia and the other members to the presi-
dent and acted as an interpreter in the
conference that followed, said this evening
that the interview was entirely satisfactory
to both the members of he commission and
the president. This evening Major Gen
eral Miles, commander OF the army, called
upon General Garcia at the hotel. The call
was unofficial The two soldiers spent
pleasant half hour together.

Questions Of Interest

WASHINGTON, Dec 2.-The United
States government is being called upon to
face some questions of interest resulting
from the expansion policy.
The British government some time before
the annexation OF Hawaii to the United
States filed with Hawaii number of claims
for redress for the ill-treatment and illegal
confinement of British subjects involved in
the revolutionary movement which over
threw the queen. These amount to several
hundred thousand dollars in the aggregate,
and the question is, the Hawaiian govern
meIt having failed to settle them, whether
the United States government does not in
herit the liability. The claims are just such
as were filed by the late Secretary of State
Gresham against the Hawaiian government
in behalf of number of alleged American
citizens. but most of them afterwards turned
out to be aliens. None of the claims were
pressed, but they formed the foundation for
the British claims.
Another question of more Importance is
the determination OF the status of some Of
our newly acquired citizens or subjects.
Already Chinaman by birth, but a Philip
pino by citizenship, has applied for recogni-
ton as an American citizen. Another China.
man in Hawai- wants,a passport showing he
is a citizen of the United States The an.
uexation law prohibits the coming into the
limits of the United States of Chinese
from Hawaii, but the constitutionality of
any act that proposes to discriminate among
American citizens has been raised, and this
Chinaman is a citizen by adoption. These
are few of the questions that have already
arisen and others are expected to follow in
the near future.

Work of Warships Among Hebrides

VANCOUVER, B. C., Dec. 2.-The Brit
sh warship Mildura has returned from an
exciting six months cruise to the New
French warship Eure as a side partner.
After the war vessels had amused them
selves with bonfires of few villages in the
New Hebrides, in revenge for the massacre
of British Consul James Duncan, they went
together to the French Hebrides. At Aoba,
the gallant British commander learned that
the daughter of the chief had been carried
off by the French cutter Port des Pointes,
which was then a black speck on the ex.
panse of blue. The French commander said
he would see the cruel wrong to the chief
righted. The Britisher resented this and
said mo, sir, this is my affair" and hurry
ing to his ship, he crowded on full steam
and after night had overhauled the cutter
and secured the young girl from the buc-
caneering Frenchman, besides twelve other
native maidens. The bevy of thankful
madens were transferred to the Eure and
taken home They stated through an in.
terpreter that some of them were bought

CUBA'S new ERA DAWNS
WITH REORGANIZATION OF A
SUPREME COURT
RESTORATION OF CIVIL ORDER
To Be Followed by the Construction
of Good Roads in Santiago
Province
Associated Press Special Wire

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Dec. 2.-The
opening of the recently organized supreme
court this morning was an Impressive cere'
mony. Chief Justice Echeverria and the as
sociate justices, prior to the opening, called
at the palace, where they were received by
General Wood, after which, with General
Wood and his aides, Mr.. Robert Porter and
others. they were driven to the supreme
court chamber. Here the judges donned
their robes of office, long silk gowns trimmed
with white lace, and, accompanied by the
attorneys practicing in the court, who were
similarly dressed, formed in procession and
passed into the court room, the chief justice
escorting General Wood.
The procession having divided into semi
circles, General Wood, in few tactful and
forceful words, opened the proceedings, de-
liverng the court, in the name of the United
States government, to the chief justice and
his associates, and demanding from the pub
lie implicit obedience to the courts decisions
and DEGREES. His pronouncement was
translated into Spanish by Captain Mendoza.
The chief justice replying, accepted the
judicial offices in the name of justice, for
mally recognizing the United States as the
supreme power, and declaring that the bench
would render justice to rich and poor alike.
The proceedings terminated with hand
shaking, after which General Woods party
was escorted to the entrance by the entire
legal body, and the first session OF the first
purely Cuban court was then opened.
The local newspapers consider it the dawn
of new era, and express the hope that the
Judges, who are men of legal acumen and
profound research, may be able to show the
world that the Cuban population has within
itself the elements of good government.
The same papers are exceedingly compli-
mentary in their alusions to General Wood,
declaring it quite impossible that any other
American could have secured better grasp
of the entire situation
On Monday $50 men will begin to build the
road to Holguin. The distance, making al
lowances for necessary deviation, is IS miles.
General Wood is determined to facilitate
the means of inter-oommunication for the
towns on this end of the island and on the
same day hundred men will begin road
to Guantanamo. In this case distance Of
40 miles must be covered.

HALE HAS HORSE SENSE
OPPOSES ANNEXATION OF THE
PHILIPPINES
WILL 0PP0SEA PEACE TREATY
When Facts Are Known Everybody
will Be Glad to Get Rid OF the
Islands
Associated Press sp] al Wire


WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Senator Eu-
gene Hale of Maine today announced his op-
position to the peace treaty which Is pelhg
formulated in Paris He is opposed TO the
acquisition of the Philippines, and MS an
tagonism to the treaty will be based upon
that section of the treaty which deals with
the Philippine question.
THE negotiation of the treaty, unfortun-
ate as it is" said the senator today, by no
means insures the actual annexation OF the
Philippines. 1t is uncertain when the treaty
will be signed or when il will be submitted
to the senate, and still more uncertain
whether it will ever be ratified. The re-
sponsibiity is SO vast and the solicitude OF
the public so great that ample time will be
given to its discussion and to getting the
real facts before the American people.
'NIany things will be found out which
are not now known, and the evils OF the
proposed annexation will so grow upon the
public mind and upon congress and upon the
president that it is by no means unlikely
that within six months or year everybody
instead of being for annexation OF the is
lands, will want to get rid of them.
"The people of the United States will
find out that the commerce of the Philip
pines is very limited in extent; that they are
inhabited by people whose habits and
wants forbid an increase OF trade, and that
under the scheme of annexation presented
to us this trade is TO be shared equally
with Spain and all other competing nations.
What is called the opendoor policy cuts
down the interest of the United States in
the Philippine trade to point where it
makes no figure in our commerce. The en-
tire trade of the islands, if we had it all,
not the profit derived from it, but the
whole amount of trade, will not in any yelr
pay the expenses of the army and the navy
that the United States will be obliged to
maintain there"

Compulsory Dueling

HAVANA, Dec. 1.-The Executive Com
mittee of the Cuban Assembly agreed at its
last session to make it compulsory upon
the part of any Cuban officer insulted by
Spanish, American or other officers to chal-
lenge the person so insulting 10 fight duel.
The measure has two aims according to the
Cubans; first, ''to maintaii the dignity of the
Cuban army" and secondly, ''to check the
impudence and insolence OF many so-called
Cuban officers, who, without having ever
put their courage to test, having enlisted
after the armistice, are staggering about
with Cuban uniforms endeavoring to Offend
Spanish officers
1t is learned on good authority that the
Cubans have recently secretly acquired quite
formidable armament, the ulterior object
OF which is not known. 1t is added that they
have purchased over 5000 rifles within the
last ten days. The fact is causing consider
able speculation here.
The United States transport Florida ar
rived here today with Quartermaster sup
plies, l64 mules and horses and "a stablemen.
The volunteer forces Of Havana were re-
leyed today Of all further garrison duty and
they will shortly be disbanded prior to the
completion Of the evacuation Of Havana.
General Greene today held conference
with the mayor and the city council, with
the object of at once proceeding with the
work OF cleaning the city.

Soldiers Bodies

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-The War De
partment has decided to adopt at once the
suggestion of General Wood in command
at Santiago, that the removal of the remains
OF American soldiers from that section Of
Cuba be deferred until February, at the
earliest While it is fully realized that this
postponement will bring great disappoint-
ment to the friends'and relatives of the dead
soldiers, the officials believe they have no
right to expose to the horrors of possible
yellow fever outbreak the large population
OF Santiago and neghboring towns from a
mere sentimental consideration.
The department had advanced very well
in the preparation in plans for the removal
of the dead and was in position to begin
the work in disinterment almost immedi-
ately 1t had employed the services of an
expert named Rhodes who had thoroughly
gone over the ground at Santiago and ar
ranged the details of the plans.
For some time past the department has
been granting permits for the removal OF
the remains of individual soldiers, provided
the relatives of the soldiers furnished a
metallic case which could be hermetcaly
scaled, thus preventing the introduction Of
contagious diseases into the United States.
