RAISING OF THE FLAG
In Cuba Will be Accompanied by APP
propriate Ceremonies.

Washington, December 27.-The cabinet at
it's melting today listened to the reading of
the more important parts of the Paris
treaty and then gave their attention to
affairs in Cuba Secretary Gage talked at
some length of the financial situation, and
outlined plan looking to the fixing on a
permanent basis of the values of current
money. According to the Spanish system
gold coins of that country have been re-
ceived generally only at a considerable
premium. In some instances the intrinsic
value of some of the Spanish coins have
been disregarded and fictitious value sub
stituted. These Irregularities will be done
away with and a just value, based upon
mint valuations, will be substituted The
customs and other duties in Cuba will be
received in American money or its proper
equivalent in Spanish money. 1t is ex-
pected that official action will be taken in
this matter within the next two or three
days with a view of putting the new meas
ure into operation on January 1. 1t is
learned that programme more or less
elaborate will be prepared for the celebra-
ton attending the raising of the United
States flag on the island of Cuba on Janu-
airy l.
The president and the members of the
cabinet are agreed that the celebration
should not be of an ostentatious character,
but simple and dignified and the secretary
of war has sent a cablegram of inquiry on
this point. 1t is recognized that great care
should be exercised to prevent giving I'M
necessary offense to any one and thus avoid
possible disturbances.

BROOKE AT HAVANA.
Will Assume His Duties AS Military
Governor of Cuba.

Washington, December 2.-Secretary AL
ger this afternoon received a cablegram
from General Brooke announcing his ar
rival at Havana, where he will assume the
post of military governor of Cuba. The
preparations making by the American mil
itary commanders in Cuba to prevent dis
order in the trying ties incident to the
change of sovereignty are believed by Sec
rotary Alger to be so ample that there is
now little reason for apprehension. while
so far as the trouble of yesterday in Ha-
vana was concerned, he pointed to the fact
that the fatalities were less than those of
the Christmas day in some American cities.
A long cablegram was received during the
day from General Otis at Manila. describ-
ing the situation there. Its contents were
not made public. but it is known that he
mentions no outbreak which gives a mega
tive encouragement to the officials, though
it is apprehended that General Otis is
meeting with difficulty in securing the re-
lease of the Spanish prisoners which he was
charged to effect.

TREATY SPECULATION.
Senator Davis Presence in Washington
Causes Comment

Washington December 27-The presence
of Senator Davis, one of the members of
the peace commission at the capitol today,
was the cause of more or less peace treaty
speculation among senators. 1t is the in
tention of Senator Davis to ask the com
mittee on foreign relations to take up the
treaty as soon as received from the presi-
dent. While 1t is expected that the doc
ument will undergo careful scrutiny in com
mittee, it is the general opinion that this
work will be done with much expedition
as possible. There will be effort on the
part of the friends of the treaty to have 1t
reported without any amendment whatever
and that the committee as whole is favor
able to ratification without alterations.
Those senators opposed to straight ratifca-
tions-will urge the insertion of an amend
ment providing in specific terms that the
United States shall not acquire sovereignty
over the Philippine islands under any cir
cumstances. The friends of the treaty urge
that it being a peace treaty 1t is more inn
portant to have it ratified Internationally
than would be the case ordinarily in
agreeing between nations and for this rea-
son they are confident it will not be modi-
fed and that in the end it will secure the
votes of a number of senators who person.
ally would prefer it's amendment. The OPP
ponents of the treaty say they do not anti
cipate a long debate in the senate

The Noble Work of
A Birmingham Girl

Two or three years ago Mss Belle Dan

women of Birmingham, without consulting
any one just at that time upon project
uppermost in her mind, wrote to Bishop AL
len, of the Catholic church, and asked his
opinion in regard to the Sisters of Charity
establish ng a charity hospital in Brmng-
ham. His reply favored the movement and
the bishop spoke of the letter to others in
terested. On a visit to Birmingham the
plan unfolded and the bishop was taken
over the Debardeleben house as suitable
quarters for the hospital. Yesterday some
nds of Miss Dangaix, who knew that
opening of charity hospital under the
. ices which prevailed yesterday was a
ization of her hopes confided first to
Bishop Allen and Father O'Reilly spoke in
q congratulatory way to this young Bir-
mingham woman, who would not take any
claim of ever having suggested the work.
But there was a happy light shining in
her beautiful eyes at the thought of it all
and she must have recalled that letter
filled with her hopes and plans, now ma
terialzed, which she addressed once upon
a time to the bishop.
