Riot Almost Precipitated in Havana
ON Sunday by the HOisting of a
Spanish Flag over a Hotel.
CROWD DISPERSED BY TROOPS
AND THE OBNOXIOUS EMBLEM
PROMPTLY HAULED DOWN.
Columbus Relics Missing-PrOvince of
Santiago to Have Complete Au-
tOnOmy, 1t Is Said.

CIENFUEGOS, Jan. 15.-The entire mill
tary department of Santa Clara, Major Cen
eral j. c. Bates, commanding, is quiet.
Twenty-seven thousand Spaniards still re-
main in the vicinity of Cienfuegos, but one
transport is now loading, and twelve others
are expected to arrive at an early date. 1t
is improbable, however, that the evacuation
will be completed much before the middle
of February The Spanish troops who are
thickly quartered in the warehouses ana
along the wharves swarm through tLo city
day and night. Their officers crowd the
hotels. The soldiers are poorly fed, and
have had no pay for months. They are
quiet enough, but their presence makes i'm
possible a proper cleaning of the town and
prevents activity on the part of the Ameri-
can administration.
Six companies of the Fourth Tennessee
Regiment are at Trinidad, six companies at
Sancti Spiritus, while the Sixth Ohio Regi-
ment is stationed here. A battalion of the
Sixth Ohio will soon be assigned to the city
of Santa Clara. The Sixth Ohioans are liv-
ing in tents outside of Cienfuegos, and the
general health of the men is excellent. The
Spanish barracks in town were found in a
wretched condition and quite unusable, but
the barracks at Santa Clara city will fur
nish good accommodations, and there is a
well-equipped hospital there.
Cuban soldiers garrison the country towns
in the province, as well as guard the plan
tations, whose owners in some cases pay
each soldier So a month. The behavior of
the Cuban troops in garrison capacity is
highly commended. They observe discipline
and maintain perfect order.
The Cuban mayors and civil administra-
tors in the interior towns of the depart
ment are awaiting the advent of the Amer
lean authorities In numerous cases no
communications have reached them from
the latter. and they are proceeding with
their ordinary duties in default of instrdc-
tions.
The customs receipts here at Cienfuegos
are from 5000 to $1,000 a week.
The telegraph service of the district is
still in the hands of Spanish employees. Cap
tain Rickard, United States signal corps,
has made requisition on Havana for oper-
ators and the necessary implements to
establish an adequate service throughout
the department, and many of the present
operators will be retained.
General Bates in making civil appoint
ments, takes fitness into consideration first,
and then gives the preference to Cubans.
The Spanish general Aguirre is still In
charge of the gardia civil in Cienfuegos.
The public buildings in Cienfuegos are
still in possession of the Spaniards, and
General Bates and his staff are crowded into
inadequate quarters.
General Maxine Gomez is expected at
Santa Clara city tomorrow.

to urge the ratification of the treaty, which
will give the United S ates complete SOW

to the F'ilipinos having independence. if it
can be proven that they are capable OF
maintaining it. He is not averse to accept

ut is believed that the determination to

LONDON, Jan. 16.-The Times says edi-
torialy this morning in course of a refer
ence to the denial given last Friday by
Baron Won Bulow. German minister of
foreign affairs, through the Berlin corre-
spondent of the Associated Press, to the
reports that Germany had been intriguing
in the Philippines against the Americans:
1T is to be regretted that the irresponsible
enthusiasm of some Washington politicians
should have led to the use of language un-
necessarily offensive to Germany 1t may
well be believed that Aguinaldo and the in
surgents would have inclined to establish
relations with Germany or with any other
power, but, whatever views Germany may
formerly have held, it is certain that she
has not the least idea now OF interfering
with the plans of the United States as to
the Philippines. Rather than involve her
self in such difficulties she is more likely
thinking of the CaroIines, which the Ameri-
can government have advisedly refused to
concern themselves about. Neither has
England anything against German acquisi-
ton of the CarOlineS. =.

A negro private of the Twenty-third Kan
sas Regiment broke into a store opposite
the police headquarters and stole a diamond
ring. The police were called and the
man was shot, though not seriously wound
ed. The local press is making the most
Of this situation, contending that it is only
another incident in the bad history of the
negro regiment. The sentiment of the
Americans, however, is that it would be
unjust to blame the race for the act of one
man.
Charges of a very serious character have
been brought against an officer Of the Third
Immune Regiment in the Guantanamo dis
trict More than thousand dollars is in

DEPARTURE OF TROOPS.
Fourth Regular Infantry Leaves Fort
Sheridan for Manila

CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-The Fourth Regular
Infantry, recruited up to its full strength
of over 1,200 men. in command of Robert
II. Hall, left Fort Sheridan to-day on it's
long journey to the Philippines, where the
regiment has been ordered for service. Hun
dreds of people gathered at the station at
the fort, where the regiment has been sta
toned so long, and many affecting scenes
were witnessed between the bue-clad men
and the wives and sweethearts they were
bidding farewell. The most disconsolate
ones were the members of the regiment
whom the fevers and hardships of the Gu
ban campaign had rendered unfit for trop-
ical service. Every one of them who could
stand waded through the mud to see the reg
iment depart. The regiment left Ft. Sheridan
for the East in three special trains, forty
two Pullman and tourist sleeping cars. The
trains were switched from the Chicago a.
Northwestern to the Fort Wayne tracks at
the Union depot in Chicago, and immediate
ly left for New York, where or Tuesday the
regiment will embark on the transport Cen
eral Grant for the trip TO Manila, via the
Suez canal. A number of the commissioned
officers, including Colonel Hall and Lieut.
Col. j. NJ Sannow, We're accompanied by
their families. The voyage will occupy about
five or six weeks
