The Ceremony of Raising Old Glory in
Place of the Emblem of Spain witt
messed by a Cheering Throng-AI tho
tic With Entnusiasn.
Havana. Jan. =. Spanish sovereignty
in the island of Cuba came to an end
yesterday. At noon a detachment of
American troops occupied the Plaza de
Armas the square in front of the Pal
ace, and stood silently as the ceremony
of the transfer of sovereignty took place
The American Commissioners rode in
on horseback from La Nedado and pro-
ceeded directly to the Palace. Captain
General Castellanos. whose official life
was drawing to a close, received the
Commissioners in the main hall of the
Palace, surrounded by the members of
his staff After brief exchange of
salutations, Gen. Castellanos said:
according to the protocol of peace
signed Ang. II, l, obeying the orders
of the Government of her Catholic
Majesty, the Queen Regent of Spain, in
the name of her son. his Majesty the
King deliver the island of Cuba to the
Government of the United States, rep
resented by your commission.
Gen. Wade made brief reply. and
Immediately turned the control of the
island over to Gen. Brooke. the Mill
tary Governor.
AT this moment the Spanish flag,
which had floated over Cuba for 400
years, was lowered from the Palace,
the Cabanas Fortress, MORO Castle and
all the public buildings.
AS the Spanish flag was lowered it
was replaced by the Stars and Stripes,
and as the latter foated to the breeze
it was saluted with twenty-one guns.
After the American flag had been
hoisted the band played the American
national hymn, and this was greeted
with tremendous cheering 10y the crowd
that had assembled. y hundred thou
sand persons cheered the Americans
and the United States. All the houses
occupied by Cubans were decorated,
the Hags that had been taken down
after Gen. Ludlow's order forbidding
demonstrations having been replaced.
The Cubans, who at last saw the real
ization of their dreams for many years,
were frantic with enthusiasm. They
shouted Viva McKinley.' and viva
Cuba Libre." until they were hoarse.

Sing. The two trials undergone by
Moore and the one undergone by his
wife, Fayne Strahan Moore, who is now

Moore until motion could be argued
for the granting of certificate of rea-

White at the end of a twenty-five round
glove fight with Jack DAILY, of Whining

In science and generalship Cans gave a
superb exhibition. For nearly twenty
rounds he outpointed DAILY, with con-
siderable to spare. Days strength,
which at one time seemed to be wan.

which enabled him to make very
ltrong finish. But on points, which is

less and style, Cans had an undoubted
advantage, which forced the referee to
make the ruling.
