long conference with General Greene.
 The United States and Spanish Mili- tary Commissioners will meet on Fri day.
 Effigies of General Weyler hung this afternoon in Cerro, the suburb, sur rounded by jeering crowds, while small processions marched and counter marched along the streets, shouting constantly. Business is virtually sus- pended in consequence of the rejoicings over the evacuation. In some instances bands of Cubans have visited Spanish shopkeepers and compelled them to shout Viva Cuba Libre" and to wave Cuban flags.
 Sonora Farrez, the lady who enter tained the Cuban generals, Sanguilly and Lacret, and other Cuban officers at a dance at her residence in Cerro last evening, sent message to the United States Military Commissioners sug- gesting that the Spanish soldiery might invade Cerro and raid her home.

 This evening the Cuban generals, Maya, Rodriguez. Menocal and Vidal and Julio Sanguilly, with other Cuban officers, are to be entertained at Jesus del Monte, another Havana suburb.
 Printed papers, insulting to the Span iards and threatening to kill them after January l. continue to be circu- lated in various parts of the island. The Alcalde of Santiago de Las Vegas has seized large quantities of such clandestine prints and burned them. The Cuban patriotic committees are planning for a five days feast after January 1, during which all business is to be suspended.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

HAVANA, Dec. 21.-It now appears that the raising of the stars and stripes over Fort Atares yesterday by Major Russell B. Harrison was a surprise to both the United States and Spanish Military Commissioners. The Ameri can Commissioners had said that no American flags should be raised until January 1. Major Harrison did not know this, and when told to occupy the fort he promptly raised the flag. Nevertheless. though it flies in full sight of the harbor and city. the Span ish have not complained and it has not been ordered down.

ANNEXATION A BLOW
 TO SUGAR INDUSTRY
American Producers Protest Against the Acquisition of Tropi-
 cal Territory.

CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-A conference be- tween the officers of the American Sugar Growers Society and manufacturers of beet sugar machinery and representatives of the beet sugar factories now in opera tion was held in the office of the Orange Judd Farmer, in the Marquette building. The question under consideration was the effect of the proposed annexation of sugar producing territory in the West Indies and the Philippines upon the develop ment of American sugar producing in terests.
 . The sentiment was unanimous that the acquisition of tropical sugar territory would seriously affect the development of the beet sugar industry unless some arrangements were made which would protect the domestic product against the operation of free trade in sugar from the new colonies. It was decided to make a formal protest to Congress against the sacrifice of the interests of American farmers, labor and capI,al for the benefit of tropical regions. A committee was appointed to draw up a formal petition to Congress protesting against the acqui- Sition of territory.

 General Merritt said, in reply to ques- tions, that the volunteers were as eff fective and as enthusiastic as could be desired. He regarded them as very ex- cellent troops. The supplies were suf- ficient at all times, except as to ice and milk for fever patients. AS to medi- cal supplies and hospital conveniences, General Merritt said he had heard no complaints. On entering the city the army took possession of all the good houses it needed and turned them over to the medical department The sick and wounded were thus we'll provided for.
 General Merritt paid quite as high a tribute to the civilian staff officers as did General Shafter the previous day, saying:
 "They were good officers, intelligent, anxious to learn and to work"

SAMOAN TRIBES
 MAY GO TO WAR
Election of King Likely to Result in Bloodshed on the
 Islands

AUCKLAND, N. Z., Dec. 21.-Advices received here from Samoa under date of December 16 says there is serious trouble in connection with the election of King to succeed the late Malietoa. The supporters of Mataafa have be- come warlike, and 1t is reported that the German Consul is supporting Mataafa in spite of the agreement ar rived at between the consuls to remain neutral and to allow the Chief Justice to decide upon the question of a King.
 The foreign residents fear there will be an outbreak of tribal war when the Chief Justice pronounces his decision, about he end of the year, and they are anxious for naval protection.

 RECOVERY OF A LOAN
Sacramento Attorney Institutes Pro- ceedings Involving Twenty
 Five Dollars.

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 21.-Albert M. Johnson, one of the best known lawyers of Sacramento, has brought suit in the Justices Court against the law firm of Shortrluge, Beatty & Britain of San Francisco for the recovery of $25.
 On October Il last Shortridge, Beatty & Britain had a case .l the Supreme Court of this county. The firm was rep resented by the second partner, William A. Beatty. He desired a dismissal, and the Judge said he would grant it. pro- vided Beatty would pay the costs, amounting to s25. Beatty happened to be short at the time, and Justice waited like Patience on the monument, until Beatty went down to Albert M Johnson's office and borrowed the neces- sary coin. MT. Johnson asserts that he has made repeated demands for the re- turn of the loan, but they have been un- ayailing, and he now proposes to enforce collection through the medium of the courts

The Manila Fight

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2O.-A Chronicle
special from Cavite, dated June q, says:
In case of the expected bombardment of
Manila the area to which the Spanish may
retire will be limited to the American and
insurgent lines surrounding the city. There
may come the struggle, for the Spanish
have burrowed intrenchments and fortified
hills and knobs for the final struggle. 1t is
known here that every energy is bent with
in the city to prepare 1t for the final strug-
gle. The people are exhorted by the clergy
and military authorities and their hopes
are buoyed by false reports as to relief
from Spain, and Spanish triumphs In the
West Indies and along he Atlantic coast.
August is credited with an assertion
that he can muster 100000 troops. No one
seriously believed that he can marshal
10000. The city seems as nearly ready
for the conflict as the material in tha
hands Of the Spanish can make 1t.
The German feet now here, not counting
supply vessels. includes the Cormorant.
Kaiser, Kaiserin Augusta, Irene and Prinz
wilhelm, and their weight Of metal ex-
ceeds that of any other fleet here. The
British fleet includes the Immortalite,
Bonaventure and Rather, but the presence
Of so many Germans is expected to draw
other ships. The French have the Brux
and Pascal and the Japanese the Matush-
imi.
It is freely predicted that there will be a
long and bloody resistance at Manila.

Chased an Austrian

SAN FRANCISCO, July ga Chronicle
special from Cavite of June Is says:
The MoCulloch had an exciting chase up
under the guns of Manila this morning OH
a mission that concerned the safety of
Flag Lieut.. T. M. Brumby, who left Cavite
in q small launch to go to the British
cruiser Immortalite, at anchor with the
foreign fleet Off the mouth of the Pasig
River. When he was we'll up the bay, the
lynx-eyed watch on the Olympia detected
larger craft steaming out of Manila. The
McCulloch was ordered to get under way
and Ave minutes later the dispatch boat
went rushing up the bay at fifteen knot
gait. Every officer had his side arms
buckled on and the ready crew stood at
their arms. They headed direct for Manila
in order to get inside the fleet and cut off
the retreat of the supposed Spanish boat.
When she neared the fleet 1t was discovered
that the craft under suspicion carried the
Austrian flag and the chase ended.
The McCulloch held her course, however,
and made careful examination of the bat
teries in front of Manila and close in
spection of the foreign fleet No hostile
demonstration was made.
