NEW ORDER ABOUT FLAGS
Gen. Castellanos Permits Cuba's Oolors
Within His Lines.
Gen. Ludlow Watching the Temper of
the People as Spanish Evacua-
ton Approaches.

HAVANA, December 21.-The citizens of
Havana read in their morning papers an
order from Captain General Castellanos,
permitting the display of Cuban and Amer
lean flags inside the lines of Spanish juris-
diction. and early this morning the stars
and stripes and the lone star of Cuba
floated over many buildings in the heart of
the city and in streets where the Spanish
soldiers still keep guard The only build
ings excepted in the order are the govern
ment offices. Havana. therefore, is now
bright with color, and firecrackers are
being exploded in the streets and on the
plazas
Fear of the Spaniards disappeared with
the appearance of this order for out came
thousands of flags, secretly made by the
women of the households or clandestinely
purchased from adventurous peddlers
Robert A. Scott. formerly city treasurer of
Jacksonville, Fla, succeeded in getting a
small cargo of flags into Havana some
weeks ago, and flags originally costing
about four cents have been selling for about
a dollar each.
The order of Captain General Castella.
nos was issued after conference with Gen.
Ludlow, and it will be followed tonight by
an order closing the cafes at 10 o'clock
Gen. Ludlow rode around the city late
last night. watching the temper of the peo-
rle in the streets
Fourteen persons were wounded by people
who fired different kinds of weapons in the
streets

Bible Society Board of Managers.

The board of managers of the Washing
ton City Bible Society met for their last
meeting in 1898 last evening in the rooms
of the Young Mems Christian Associa ton,
and in the absence of the president, Di-
rector John B. Sleman, jr., was called to
preside. After calling the roll announce
ment was made of the very sudden demise
of Director j. B. Stahl, the Sd instant. He
lad been in attendance in usual health at
the last meeting. Eulogistic remarks We're
made by several members, who spoke of
their own knowledge of his personal worth
and usefulness. On motion of Mr.. Leetch
the president and secretary were requested
to prepare memorial of him for the rec
ords Of the society, a copy to be presented
to his family.
The committee on the canvass made re-
port that while restitution can always be
found, yet, in view of the very large dis
tribution of Bibles to the children of late, it
seemed to be unwise to undertake this work
at the present time The report was
adopted and committee discharged.
The committee on legacies reported YER
bally through DR.. Peck, chairman, that the
matter was in hand, but had not reached
a final conclusion, and the committee was
continued. After a pleasant conference the
board adjourned to meet the last Monday in
January, 1899.

CONFERENCE CLOSES.
Com ssiOners Not to Appear Again
Before Senate COMMITTEES.

The District Commissioners today con-
c!uded their conference with the Senate
committee on appropriations on the pend
ing District appropriation bill, and they
will not, therefore. appear again unless
the committee desires further information.
Commissioner Wight said this afternoon
that he and his associates were particular
ly we'll pleased with the reception given
them by the committee, and although the
members did not commit themselves the
Commissioners are very hopeful that the
bill will be substantially increased in the
Senate. Mr.. Wight is inclined to believe
that this increase will be distributed among
several items in the bill. and he feels
almost sure that there will be an increase
in the fire department of one or two COM
panies. He is also hopeful that the police
force will be increased. He is quite sure
in any event the committee will do all in
it's power to meet the wishes Of the people
of the District in the matter of increased
appropriations for number of the items
in the bill.

Finds a Visitor in His Room When
He Retires.

Frank McCloskey, a Philadelphia, who
was summoned here yesterday because of
the death of his brother, had an exciting
experience about 2 o'clock this morning;
blew a police whistle, and, when Officer
Kraemer responded, was arrested. When
he appeared in the Police Court he caused
some merriment by leaving the dock and
walking to the water cooler before address
ing the court. An elderly man named Phil
ip Fisher accused McCloskey of having
struck him. This the defendant admitted,
but the circumstances under which the
blow was dealt he thought, should excuse
him.
In response to telegram the Philadel-
phian reached here yesterday afternoon
and went TO the house of his deceased
brother. on Myrtle street.
Il hadn't drank anything since the 10Th
of july, he told Judge Taylor, but my
sister-in-law persuaded me to take some
thing because / was tired"
He explained that about o'clock this
morning he was told to go upstairs to Mr..
Fishers room and take a nap. He went
where he was directed. and would have
had no trouble had not lady visitor made
a mistake in the room and gone there be-
fore him.
Il could not find a MATCH he said, ''and
when l had got out of my clothes I
found this lady i'm the room. Then
jumped to the door. and just then Mr..
Fisher came to the door and grabbed me.
I grabbed him and threw him out. Judge.
your honor, I'm married man, and I
threw the lady out after him. II Mr.. Ma
hon had done that with Fayne Moore in
New York he would not have had SO much
trouble
When Is your brothers funeral to take
placer" Mr.. McCioskey was asked.
Tomorrow" was his response.
At the suggestion OF Prosecuting Attorney
