Streets-Eighth Infantry There.

Havana, Dec. 1.-THE United States
transport Panama, with General F'itz-
hugh Lee and his staff on board, en-
tered the harbor this morning. Gen
eral Lee was informed by a correspon-
dent of the Associated Press of his ap-
pointment as governor of the province
of Havana.
He said he was much gratified, but
had only wished for a military COM
mand. The general added that he is
simply in command of his soldiers, that
his duty is to preserve life and prop
erty, and that he proposes to do so with
equal justice to Cubans, Spaniards and
persons of all other nationalities.
The headquarters of General Lee will
be established at Queamada camp
Marianao. Many prominent personal
friends called on the general when he
arrived here.
Later in the day General Lee and his
staff accompanied General Greene in
the tug Britannia and started for We
lado, where he reported to General
Wade. Thence General Lee went on
horseback to Queamada-

The transport Florida has arrived
here today with the Fifth regular in
fantry and is discharging quartermas-
ter's stores at the pier of San Jose.
The Michigan and Panama will land
their troops tomorrow They will
march to the Quemado camp at Mari
anao.
General Greene was informed on Dec.
2, by Adjutant General Corbin, that
the president had determined to ap-
point him governor of Havana, but he
replied, declining the honor and offer
ing his resignation from the army.
General Lees presence has provoked
numerous demonstrations, though he
had sedulously tried to avoid them. He
ate lunch today at the Hotel Trocha
with Generals Wade, Greene and Clous,
and leaving there this afternoon he
passed with his escort through Cerro,
a suburb of Havana, where the ladies
waved American flags and threw flow
ers. The crowds along his route cheer
ed enthusiastically.
At Maridnao his reception was equal

OUTSTANDING CHINA.
Lord Beresford Found an Alarming
State of Affairs.

Vancouver, B. c., Dec. 1.-THE
steamer Empress of India arrived this
morning from Hongkong and Yoko-
hama At recent banquet at Shang-
hal, Lord Beresford is credited with
the following speech: Wherever l
have met Britishers, they say they dare
not make extensive investments; there
is no security for the future"
Beresford said he would do all he
could to convince the British that the
policy of drift" in China must cease.
The speaker then referred to the Rus
slams, and said he went all through
Manchuria, and everywhere were
armed cossacks.

no reason, in a peaceful time, for such
a state of affairs Things look very
black for trade in the near future.

tremendous preparations were being
made as if for battle. I asked an Of
ficer why these preparations were
made. He answered that it was neces-
sary to procure food. He took up the
trade of Port Arthur and found that
in the last three years three vessels
came there, and their cargo was-sea-
weed.

in America, it would have been settled

MASSACHUSETTS, A WRECK.
Big Battleship Must Go Out of
Commission.


Commission.
New York, Dec. 1.-THE Herald says:
Naval officers believe the battleship
Massachusetts must go out of commits
sion, and that practically a new keel
and several new frames must be sup
plied to her before she will be fit for
sea-
This apprehension. has been caused
by an incomplete examination made by
the naval constructors and divers,
which showed that the keel is buckIed
for 240 feet and frames are twisted in
about seventeen different places in this
distance. These injuries are the result
of the accident of last Saturday, when
the big vessel struck a mass of rock
near Diamond reef and drove over it
The full extent of the injuries will not
be known until the ship is in the dry
dock Naval officers were startled when
they learned the nature Of the accident
to the ship. They supposed that be-
yond the buckling of a few plates in
the outer skin, the ship was uninjured
They are now astonished at the fact
that the big ship did not sink and was
able to go TO Tomkinsville and return
to the navy yard.
