New York Dec. 24,-Navy yard en-
6ineers went under the battleship
Massachusetts in drydock yesterday
and measured her damaged plates.
Workmcn were there, also. cutting out
rivets. Repair work will proceed night
and day next week. 1t Is estimated
that it will cost about $4,000 to put
the ship in order, and that the work
will take six weeks. The board of IN
qury, of which Commodore Picking Is
president, finished their work yester-
day, and forwarded the report to the
secretary of the navy. None of the
members would say anything about the
findings. upon which will depend the
decision of the secretary of the navy as
to the necessity for court martial.

brought to her normal condition

apartments on the 23d of july last,
since which time she has kept on sleep

EVACUATION OF HAVANA.
Program Agreed Upon by American
and Spanish Comm issioners.

and Spanish Comm issioners,
Havana, Dec a4.-At the joint meet
Ing Of the United States and Spanish
military commissioners yesterday the
program was finally agreed upon for
the change Of flags on Jan. ] at noon.
Just before u o'clock the American
warshps will fire a salute of q guns
in homer of the Spanish flag. Promptly
at 70 the Spanish flags on the various
public buildings will be lowered, and
Immediately thereafter the Stars and
Stripes will be hoisted over Ell Moro
and the public buildings of the city,
while the Spanish artillerists at Ca
banas fortress will salute the Ameri-
can flag with 81 guns, Spanish war
ships In the harbor participating in the
salute.
At the same hour the Spanish troops.
IL any then remain in the city, will be
paraded in barracks and will render
proper salutes to the American forces
passing.
Just before noon the United States and
Spanish military commissioners, General
Jiminez Casteannos, the Spanish cap
tain general, and the ranking Ameri-
tdi SthCi al
John r. Brooke, If he arrives in time,
and otherwise Major General Lee-will
assemble at the palace. The Spanish

ately transfer it to the American gen.
eral commanding. After this the var
ious func.ionaries will remain awhile
to receive those who may wish to pay
their respects to the incoming author
tiles.
1t was agreed at the joint meeting
that the Spanish troops remaining in
Cuba after Jan. Should be considered
in the light of foreign trcons In a
friendly country and be accorded the
privileges usually granted under in
ternational law. Matanzas and Clen-
fuegos will doubtless be the only places
where Spanish troops will remain after
Jan. /, and Cienfuegos will be evacu-
ated last. The Spanish sick in the hos
pitfalls will remain under the safeguard
of the American flag. the Spanish au-
thorites providing medicines, etc, and

Indignant san FranciScans,

San Francisco. Dec. H.-An attempt
has been made to arouse the people Of
this city to violence as a result of the
acquittal Of Walter Rosser. the Ten
ressee soldier who killed Henry Hide
brand. Flaming posters bearing the
following inscription were conspicu-
ously displayed on bill boards yester-
day: "Tar and feathers for the 12
Jurors who acquitted murderer Rosser."
Chief of Police Lees does not fear
trouble, but gays that he will make an
effort to have Rosser indicted for the
attempted murder of Willie Lynch,
whom he fired at when he killed Hide
brand. If the Indictment is returned,
which seems hardly likely an effort will
be made to have Rosser extradicted.

The Condition of the Spanish Premier
Causes Grave Anxiety.
Madrid, Dec 2i.-The condition of
Senor Sagasta, the premier, now causes
grave anxiety. Six physicians were in
consultation yesterday afternoon re-
garding his case, and concurred in the
decision that he is suffering from
bronchial pneumonia, with high tenn
perature and an unfavorable absence
of expectoration.
The newspapers express great SYM
pathy. There is no doubt that his ILL
ness is aggravated by the strain of re-
cent events. The queen regent, twice
during the day, telephoned, inquiring
as to his condition. and in the even
ing sent her own physician to attend
him.
