Feeling of the CubaDs.
The parade of the United States troops
showed the feeling of the Cuban element
of the population. The march was from
FL Vedado, along the Achia del Notre, the
Prado and Central Park to Caro- and que
mados.
About every fourth house displayed some
decoration, a palm branch, a bit of red,
white and blue bunting, or a flag. Not

Prado.

postpone the demonstrations. The roofs,
the streets. the parks and the wayside in
the suburban districts were crowded with
curious, but for the most part silent
spectators. Now and again there was
cry viva los Americauos,' followed by
a burst of cheering but there was no gen.
eral expression of public rejoicing, though
Maj. Gen. Lee, who rode at the head of
the column on gray charger, received
personal ovation along nearly the entire

away the flags, which they did 1t is re-

members of Company G. who had receiv-
