AMERICANS POWERLESS.
Cannot Protect Cubans From Span
ish Attack Save by Influence.


ish Attack Save by influence.
HAVANA, Dec. 13, via Miami, Fla,
Dec. 14.-American observers of the vio-
lent scenes enacted here on Sunday
night sympathize with the Cuban pop
ulation over the killing of three per-
sons and the wounding of fifteen 9TH
ers, by Spanish soldiers. Neverthe-
less, the American military men are
unable to do more than they have done
in securing safe transportation for
prominent Cubans to Marianao, and in
preventing all arrests save those of
three youngsters, who, however, were
afterwards released. The shooting
was nearly all done by Spanish Of
f1cers, armed with pistols, and by Of
ficers off duty. Some of the shots were
fired during the conflict, at aggressive
Cubans, but most of them were fired
at retreating Cubans. None of the
officers implicated have been brought
to account by their superiors.
1t is asserted that the feeling in the
Spanish army is one of pleasure that
the Cubans gave the Spaniards the op-
portunity to kill a few Of them.
and the dissolution of Spanish sover-
eighty on all sides in Havana increase
the Spanish bitterness here. The only
safety of the Cubans is in their re-
naming patient for a week or two
longer, until the Seventh army corps
shall have arrived. The American Of
ficers constantly urge the Cuban lead
ers to counsel silence and remain in
suppression for a while, as the Cubans
cannot even be protected, save by the
moral influence of the Americans.
Spanish sovereignty, it is pointed out.
| is the only sovereignty here, and, un-
less there shall be an interregnum of
anarchy, Spanish authority must re-
main supreme until, under the writ
ten agreements, the American troops
shall be here in force and the flag
shall have been changed.
Julio Sanguilly feels that Gen. Greene
saved his life by objecting to his ar
rest by the Spaniards, who hold that
he violated faith in coming here while
| Spanish rule remained.
Gen. Lacre was also supposed to be
in the Inglaterra hotel at the time the
aides of the captain general went to
| arrest him. The aides called on Gen.
| Greene and, at his request, the Spanish
| officers deferred action. Later the ar
| rangement, as previously cabled, for
| the withdrawal of the Cuban leaders
to Marianao, was effected. Lacre
however did not go to Marianao. He
disappeared and, under the SUPPOSE
ton that he was in the city, Spanish
soldiers are still searching for him.

PROMISE FULFILLED.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee Has Returned to
Havana in Triumph.

Havana i'm Triumph.
HAVANA, Dec. 14-The transport
Panama, with Gen. Fitzhugh Lee and
his staff on board entered the harbor
this morning. -
Gen. Lee was Informed by a cor
respondent of the Associated Press of
his appointment as governor of the
province of Havana. He said he was
much gratified, but had only wished
for a military command. The general
added that he is simply in command
OF his soldiers: that his duty is to pre-
serve life and property, and that he
proposes to do so with equal Justice to
Cubans. Spaniards and persons of all
other nationalities
The headquarters Of Gen, Lee will he
established at Quamedo Camp. Mari
anao. Many prominent personal
friends called on the general when he
arrived here. Later in the dav Cen
Lee and his staff accompanied Gen
Greene in the tug Britannia, and start
ed for Vedado, where he reported to
Gen. Wade. Thence Gen. Lee went on
horseback to Quaemado.
A battalion of the Fifteenth infan+r,,
was landed from the United States
transport Saratoga, today, and march
ed with band playing and flags flying
TO Marianao. The soldiers were fol-
lowed by crowds of people At every
street corner Spanish troops were sta
toned. There was some enthusiasm
ing the Cerro suburbs.

Outbreak, Which 1t Is Believed
Havana Squadron Could Que1I-
Gen. LudIovv's Plans.
WASHINGTON, Dec 14.-Within
four hours from the moment the order
was received by Capt. Cook, who COM
mands the Brooklyn, to proceed to
Havana, the ship was speeding away
on the high seas. At 9:15 yesterday
morning the order was sent and at :35
the ship had left Tompkinsville.
The Texas was telegraphed to leave
for Cuba at 4 o'clock yesterday, and
got away soon after midnight from
Hampton Roads. Probably the Brook
lyn will overhaul her before she makes
port. On the Brooklyn as a passenger
is Commodore Cromwell, who goes to
take command of the Havana naval
station. There are also some Of the
officers of the Texas, who happened to
be in New York when their own ship
was ordered south.
The Castine, which is to form a part
of the Havana squadron, will make
her way south from Boston.
The Resolute, which was also order
ed to Havana, will not be able to start
from League island for a few days.
All Of the ships carry marine guards,
and 1T is believed that they will be
able to maintain the best of order in
Havana should the local authorities
prove unable to do so. All of the tor
pedoes which obstructed the en-
trance to Havana have been removed.
and although the batteries command
ing the entrance are still in Spanish
control, it is not believed that any OBJ
lection will be made to forces taking
possession of them at any moment.
Gen. Ludlow, the military governor
Of the city, expects to leave Washing
ton for Havana next Saturday, and is
Fastening his preparations here to that
end. The collisions that have occurred
between the Spanish and Cubans in
the city, it is supposed, have influenced
him to assume the direction Of affairs
in Havana at the earliest possible mo-
ment, for it is his determination to Sc
cure and maintain perfect order in the
town, showing no favor to either side,
but treating each with exact justice
and insisting on obedience to the law.

OVATION TO GEN. WHEELER.


words of President Mckinley this aft
| ernoon.
OVATION TO GEN. WHEELER.
No sooner had President Mckinley
concluded than there were loud cries
| for Gen. Wheeler, and when that little
| man got UP, his head scarcely higher
| than the speakers desk, the audience
| once more gave vent to wild enthusi-
asm. Gen. Wheeler referred eulogistic-
ally to the efforts Of the president to-
| wards preserving peace, as long as the
country's honor would permit such ef-
| forts, and of his masterful policy after
war was inevitable.
Gen. Wheeler paid a tribute to Ad-
| miral Dewey, and added:
1.-THE army, In conjunction with the
navy, was ordered to attack and de-
stroy the Spanish forces at Santiago.
In four weeks that order was obeyed,
and its purpose accomplished. The
proud Spanish nation stood suing for
peace from the nation which q month
before 1t had held up to ridicule and
scorn."
Calls for Brig. Gen. Young brought
that officer to his feet with short
speech regarding the condition of the
army camps in the South He said
that no troops in the world were better,
more regularly fed, or better treated
than the troops in South Carolina and
Georgia.
Gen. Lawton was loudly cheered, but
refused to make a speech. He simply
thanked, on behalf of his men at Santi-
ago, the legislature and people Of Geor-
gia.
Secretary Alger refused to speak, and
the legislature dissolved.
The president held a private recep-
ton in the senate and afterwards a
public reception on the steps Of the ro-
tunda. Then hundreds of Southerners
crushed and jostled each other in their
anxiety to shake a Northern presidents
hand. Many had come from miles dis
tant. and when, at 2:15 p. M, the pres
ident left the capitol, there were still
hundreds bitterly disappointed because
they had not been able to make their
way through the surging throng to get
q seconds hold on his hand

FATAL DRINK OF CYANIDE.
Error Made by Grafton Physician
Costs Him His Life.

GRAFTON, N. D., Dec. 14.-(Special)
DIR. Frank Goulding, physician of
this city, this evening took a drink
out of jar containing a solution of
cyanide of potassium, thinking it was
water. On discovering his mistake he
ran across the street to a restaurant
and drank a quantity of milk, but no
power could save him, and in less than
an hour and a half he was dead. He
leaves a wife and two children. His
wife reached him just before he ex-
pired. The doctor has practiced medi-
cine in Grafton for about three years,
coming from Neche. He has brother
