Spanish Sovereignty in the Island
of Cuba Ceased at Noon of
New Years Day.
AMERICANS ARE NOW IN FULL CONTROL.
With a Brief Ceremony at the Palace at
Noon of January L, Capt.-Gen. Csstel-
lanos Turned Over His Authority to Gen.
Wade, and He In Turn to Military Gov
ernor Brooke.

Havana, Jan. AT noon to-day the
sovereignty of Cuba passed into the
hands of the United States, and the
reign Of Spain upon the western hemi-
sphere came to an md. The Spanish
flag, which for so many centuries has
waved over the island, was hauled
down. and in its place was hoisted the
Stars and Stripes, which, within the
last few months, has been unfurled
upon other conquered territory.
1t was exactly u o'clock when a de-
tachment of American troops marched
into the Plaza de Armas and lined up
in the beautiful square in front of the
palace recently quilted by Blanco and
his ferocious predecessor, Weyler. The
American commissioners arrived at
the palace soon afterward, having rid
den on horseback from La Nedado.
Within the palace all preparations had
been made to receive the conquerors.
Capt.-Gen. Castellanos, who succeeded
Blanco when the latter was relieved on
the ground that the disgrace of sur
rendering sovereignty would be too
much for him, was waiting. In the
main hall of the palace the meeting
took place. The staff of the retiring
captain general, surrounded him.. Cas-

"This is the most bitter moment OF
my life. l hope that none of you may
ever suffer as | am suffering now"
SYMPATHY FOR CASTELLANOS.
Then Gen. Clous performed n noble
deed. Throwing his arms about the
shoulders of Gen. CastellanOS, the
American, whose firmncss has won the
respect of Cubans and Spaniards alike,
shouted: viva Espana."
Gen. CaStellanoS looked at hin a
moment with great surprise. Then he
seized the American by the hand, and
in Il voice choking with emotion. he
cried: ''Thanks: o are too kind"
Evidently fearing to trust himself
longer. he left the palace, and pro-
| ceeding to the wharf, entered a boat,
| and was taken to the steamer which
is 10 convey him to Matanza, whence
he will embark for Spain. He was ac-
| companied by Gen. Clous to the boat.
The latter watched the departing
Spanish general until he had boarded
the Rabbat.
As Gen. Castellanos left the palac =,
Gen. Brooke walked Il short distance
with him. speaking to him kindly.
| Upon emerging from the door of the
palace. and entering the Plaza de Ar
mas, the American soldiers, in re-
Spouse to Il quick word of command,
presented arms. and the officers sa-
! luted with their swords. AS the eX-
captain general walked toward the
water from GRO the plaza an Amer
lean military band played the royal
Spanish march.
The Cuban generals, Mayia Rodri-
guez, Mario Menocal and Rafael dc
Cardenas, who had been invited by
| Gen. Brooke, were present at the pal
ace during the ceremony of surren-
der.
/ Gen. Castellanos saw them there.
and asked that he be introduced to
them. The British consul introduced
them. whereupon Gen. Castellanos
said: Il am sorry, gentlemen, that we
have been enemies, having the same
blood"
Sir" answered Gen. Menocal, 1--WE
fought for Cuba. Now that she is
free, we are no longer enemies
This was followed by a general
shaking of hands. The Cuban gener-
ais, after thanking Gen. Brooke and
others for what the Americans had
done for their cause, left the city.
Havana is quiet, and the Cubans are
apparently happy. Preparations will
now go on for the promised Cuban
celebration.

tellanos spoke briefly, formally deliT-
eminent of the United States. Gen.
Wade made a brief reply, and imme-
diateIy turned the island owe to Gen.
Brooke. the military governor.
SPANISH FLAG LOWERED.
Then took place the event which
must have cut like a knife into the
heart of every Spaniard who witnessed
the ceremony. The Spanish flag, which
for ovcr 400 years had waved from the
palace, was lowered. At the same in
slant the yellow and red banners on
the famous and infamous Cabanas for
tress and Moro castle came down for
ever. As the Spanish flag was low
cred it wa replaced by the Stars and
Stripes. and as the latter fiOated to
The breeze it was saluted with twenty
one guns
After the American flag had been
hoisted the bands played the Ameri-
can national hymn, and this was greet
ed with tremendous cheering by the
crowd that had assembled in Obispo
and O'I;eilly streets. near the palace.
and in the Plaza de Armas. Along the
Prado and the other main streets l00,-
coo persons frantically cheered the
Americans and the United States. All
the houses occupied by the Cubans
were decorated, the flags, etc, that
had been taken down after Gen. Lud-
lows order forbidding demonstra-
tons having been replaced.
The Cubans were frantic with en-
thusiasm. and shouted Viva Mckln
lev" Women thronged the streets,
their shrill shoutings mingling with
those of the men.
The United States flag was unfurled
on Cabanas by Lieut.. Fitzhugh Lee,
Jr., and on MORO Castle by Lieut..
Wade, a son of Gen. Wade.
Receipts were given to the Span
isrds for the forts and other proper
ties which had belonged to the crown,
after which there was a review of
troops. under Generals Keifer. Willis
ton. Hasbrock and Col. Armfield. The
review took place in Central park, and
the troops passed before Generals
Brooke, Ludlow and Lee. The Sixth
Missouri. Second Louisiana. First Tex
as, Eighth regulars, Fourth Virginia.
Forty-ninth Iowa, Second Illinois and
One Hundred and Sixty-tirst Indiana
passed in review.
LEE THE LION OF THE HOUR.
Sen: Fitzhugh Lee seemed to be the
lion of the hour. AS the crowd surged
about flowers were thrown at him
from balconies and open windows,
and it was almost impossible for him
to force his horse through the great
c%oncourse of people.

The One Hundred and Sixty-frst IN.
diana infantry furnished one of the
incidents of the parade. Every man
in the last company as he entered Cen
trail park, drew from under his uni
form a small Cuban flag and waved it
before the assemblage. The Cubans
went nearly wild with cheers and eN-
element, and Gen. Lee Immediately
sent Inspector General Lieut.-Col. Cur
tbs Guild. Jr., to order the Indianians
to put away the flags, which they did.
1t is reported that the entire company
is under arrest.
Maj. Russell Harrison took posses
sion of Cabanas fortress, where so
many Cubans have given up their
lives.
The upper court of justice was de-
livered to DIR. Lame, by order of Gen.
Brooke, while the customhouse was
turned over to Col. Bliss. The latter
found S1,4OO in a safe. which had ap-
p~arently been overlooked by the Span
iards. The civil government was sur
rendered to the mayor of Havana, Mar
quis Esteban.
After the ceremonies We're cOnclud-
ed a commission of Spanish officers
came from the Rabbat to take away
from the palace the painting of King
Alfonso, and the royal chair,or throne,
which had been forgotten. but the
American guard refused to allow them
to enter the building.
There were several pathetic Incl
dents during the transferal of sover-
eighty. Some of these took place in
the palace and others without. In the
palace where Gen. Castellanos stood
there was Il deep silence for a moment
as the guns Numbered out the salute
to the American flag. Then tears
welled up into the eyes of the cour-
teous Spariard, who has made many
friends during his short tenure of Of
fee as captain general. He attempted
to speak. but his voice choked and he
was evidently laboring under deep
emotion. Finally he exclaimed:

Guarding Against Twin Germ. .

A village clergyman tells this story: He
was walking through the outskirts of mis-
parish one evening, when he saw one of his
psrishioners very busy embarrassing his cot
tage. Pleased at these somewhat novel
signs of cleanliness, he called out: "Well,
Jones, | see you are making your house nice
and smart" With a mysterious air Jones,
who had recently taken the cottage, de.
scended from the ladder, and slowly walked
to the hedge which separated the garden
from the road. That's not 'xactly the rea-
son why I'm a doing of this ere job" he
whispered, but the last two couples as
lived in this ere cottage 'ad twins; so | says
to my missus, I'll take an whitewash the
place, so as there mayn't be no infection. Ye
zee, sir, as 'ow we got ten children already"

fled that they drank beer. but saw no
