IN A NOISY MANNER.
Cubans at Santiago Observe the Annl-
versary of the Death OF Their Fa-
nous Leader Antonio MaceOs

Versary of the Death OF Their Fas
nous Leader Antonio NIaceOs
Santiago, Cuba, Dec. S.-Wednes-
day was the anniversary of the death
of Antonio Maceo and was celebrated
among the Cubans in Santiago. A
memorial service was held in the
cathedral, which was crowded. Less
than two years ago the same cathed-
raj witnessed TIE Deum sung by the
same choir in celebration of Maceo's
death. Then the cathedral was draped
with Spanish colors. Yesterday the
entire edifice was in black, interspers-
ed with few Cuban emblems.
Considerable annoyance was occa-
stoned to the United States authori-
ties by the fact that some rs Cubans
marched the entire length of st.
Thomas street, armed with rifles and
machetes, although all Cubans are
aware that such conduct is strictly
against the regulations, armed bodies,
other than United States troops, not
being allowed.
The offenders did not ask permis-
sion to march armed, and their inten-
tion was not made known to the
American authorities.
Col. Beacon, who is chief in COM
mand here during the absence of Gen.
Wood, Immediately called upon the
mayor regarding the affair, and was
by him referred to Col. Garcia, who
sent an orderly directing the appear
ance of the offenders at headquarters.
Meanwhile the armed squad had fired
three volleys, many using ball cart
ridges, whose bullets, striking the
upper portions of the cathedral, caus-
ed the bell ringers to flee from their
post.
An officer from the Fifth immune
regiment soon arrived at headquar-
ters with message from Col. Ser
geant, stating that several bullets had
struck his tent at different points,
and asking information as to the
cause.
Col. Garcia said he was under the
impression that the men used blank
cartridges and that the United States
authorities had been notified OF the
intention of a number to march arm
ed in connection with the celebration.
Col. Beacon replied that he knew
nothing of it and that the Cubans had
evidently done their best to conceal
their purpose. He then ordered Gar"
cia not to allow his men to attend the
evening procession armed and said he
would permit the continuance of the
morning celebration only on the dis
tinct understanding that there was to
be no more firing. The reason the
offenders were not arrested was that
they were within the cathedral limits
at the time.
An overflow meeting was held In
the theater, with music and speeches,
none antagonistic to the Americans.
After enthusiasm had been well
aroused a procession of 5000 people
paraded through the principal streets
to the house where Maceo was born
and affixed brass tablet commemor-
ative of that event.
A band of Cubans on horseback
entered the premises of the Spanish
club here last evening and broke sew
raj lamps with their machetes. The
United States authorities acted
promptly. AS a result of the outrage
at least half the police force will be
discharged.

unanimity the pupils replied that they
would donate it to pleasing others. They

BARLEY took from state depository
