EXCITEMENT AT SANTIAGO
Cubans Wrought Up Over Events of Yester-
days Celebration.
Capt. Juan Castillo Taken to Jail by
Order of Colonel
Beacon.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, December S.-The
Cubans here greatly excited over yes
terday's proceedings. resulting from the
commemoration OF the death of Antonio
Maceo, particularly at the fact that bullets
reached the camp of the 9th Immune5,
which proves that the shots were not fired
by the Cubans who fired yolleys in the air
from the public square here. 1t now seems
that the bullets which struck tents Of the
immunes came from a different party Of in
surgents, near the trocha, who we're elso
celebrating.
Regarding the action of the three drunk
en- Cubans who entered the Spanish Club
and smashed chandeliers and furniture, the
Cubans say they deeply deplore the out
rage, and do not think 1t fair to look upon
it as a race act The San Carlos Club in
tends to hold a meeting and . tender an
apology to the Spanish Club. The police
are blamed for not making any arrests.
Col. Beacon, the American acting MIL
itary commander here, accompanied by the
chief of police, personally arrested Juan
Castillo this morning. He is captain in the
Cuban army and was the man who led his
two negro companions into the club. Cas-
tillo, who is well connected, objected 10 so
to jail, and offered his card instead.
Col. Beacon, however, was obdurate.

FOR CUBA'S GARRISON
Departure of the Roumania With Troops for
Havana
Erection of a Large Military Dock
Labor to BE Given the Natfves-Es-
tabIishment of Camps.

The steamer Roumania sailed today from
Savannah, Ca, carrying the entire 1st Reg
iment of North Carolina, with their trans
portation and part of the transportation of
the I'd Indiana, to serve as part of the
garrison of Havana. The I'd Illinois Regi-
ment is loading today at Savannah for the
same destina ton.
The quartermaster's department Is max
ing most satisfactory progress in the prepa-
ration of docks, railroads and camp sites
in the neighborhoOd Of Havana for the re-
ception of the troops. Acting upon Colonel
Hecker's recommendation. work is now be-
ing prosecuted with the greatest rapidity
on what is destined to be one of the largest
military docks in Cuba This is located at
Triscornia, to the eastward and just across
the bay from Havana.
The Proposed Dock
The dock will be 400 feet long, which, 1t
Is calculated, will give five fathoms of
water alongside for the berthing of ships.
Two of the largest transports can thus lie
at the docks simultaneously and discharge
their cargoes with rapidity. The outer end
of the dock for the length of 100 feet will be
clear. Beginning al that point and run
ming shoreward in the center of the dock
will be a large warehouse, to which access
can be had from a steamer on either side.
There will be double line of railway on
the dock also. This will turn southeast
ward to strike the united lines of raj road
at Guanabacoa, and will enable the stores
to be landed about five miles from Havana
at Il point where they can be readily placed
on the existing railroad system and carried
to almost any part of the province or the
city.
Attention has been paid in the selection
of Triscornia to the feasibility of establish
ing other camps to the eastward of Ha-
vana, and it will be easy to find suitable
grades for the construction of such auxil-
iary railroad connections as may be re-
quired.
Labor for Cubans.
The quartermaster general has given in
structions that no labor is to be employed
in these government works save that of
the Cubans wherever it Ia possible to do so,
so that the expectation Is that employment
will be afforded to a number of the Cuban
soldiers, if they care to disband and go to
work. 1t Is estimated that the building of
the dock will occupy sixty days.
The Navy Department was informed by
a cabegram from Capt. Chadwick of the
arrival of the New York at Havana last
evening. 1t is said at the department that
70 date has been set for the return of the
New York, and it is probable that she will
be placed completely at the disposal of Ad
miral Sampson, who will return on her to
the United States, with the other evacua
ton commissioners.
