CELEBRATION IN SANTIAGO.
CUBANs REJOICE OVER TERMINA-
TION OF SPANS RULE.

Crowds in the Streets Sing and Cheer
for Cuba and the United States.

Things at Guantanamo Not So Sc

Needed.
Santiago de Cuba, Jan. 1.-The last day
of the old year had scarcely passed when
the peop.e OF Santiago began to celebrate
the birth of Cuban independence.
From that hour until dawn crowds
marched the streets singing and cheering
for Cuba and the United States, while
bands played exhlirating music 1t was
the real voice of the people, instead of
the element that is usually making itself
heard through the local press, and there
could be no question of the enthusiastic
feeling toward America.
This morning Gen. Leonard Wood, mill-
tary governor of the department, follow
ing an ancient Santiago custom, held Il
reception at the palace, appearing for the
first time in the fun dress uniform Of a
major general. He received the members
of the Supreme Court. the City Council,
the Chamber of Commerce and the other
officials of the city. Tomorrow, with Mrs.
Wood, he will held reception for all VINO
may choose to come.
Thieving Not Extensive.
The special commission recently ap-
pointed on the basis of charges brought
by Lieut.. Col. Ray TO investigate affairs
in the Guantanamo district, returned to-
day.
Its members report that they do not be-
Hcve conditions so serious as Col. Ray had
reported. Certainly there had been con-
siderable cattle stealing, as there always
used to be before the Americans came,
and it is also possible that a few of the
more lawless Cubans have made threats.
as such men will but in the Judgment of
the commission, the thieviug is insignif-
cant and the threats in no way represent
public opinion.
The commission win make a written re-
port in a few days embodying its recon-
menda tious. Ii appears that Lieut.. Col.
Ray has captured seven horse thieves with
thirty horses.
The new scheme of local taxation goes
into effect to-day. The money to accrue
from ii is badly needed TO carry out many
Improvements in connection with the
streets, the water works and other mat
ters for which the customs receipts are
quite insufficient
