DOWN GOES THE
YELLOW FLAG
And Up Goes the Stars
and Stripes.
SPANISH RULE IN THE WEST
Ceased With the Birth of the New Year
spain Formally Evacustes Cuba, and
the CuSans Breathe the First Breath of
Freedom.

HAVANA, Jan. 1.-The sovereignty
of Cuba passed from Spain to the
United States at noon to-day.
The form of the transfer was SIM
pie, consisting only of an exchange
of speeches in the salon of the pal
ace, the hauling down of the Spanish
flag and the raising in its stead of
the flag of the United States on the
flagstaff on the palace roof. Salutes
were fired from the heavy guns of
the forts and the warships before
and after the change of flags. The
raising of the stars and stripes was
greeted with cheers by the people,
who covered the roofs,of the build
ings around the palace and the
plaza.
Tearfully Capt. Gen. Castellanos
bade adieu to his comrades fervent-
ly he grasped the hands of his for
mer enemy, the Cuban, and cordial
ly shook the hand OF his victor, the
American. Thus did Spain pass from
the New World; thus did the United
States mark the end of another vic
torious war.
Nine Cuban Generals went with
the Americans to do honor at the
palace, to show their appreciation of
the kindly offices of the United
States in lifting from their fertile
island the hand of oppression, and
to give assurance of their belief that
the military control of Cuba by the
United States pointed the surest and
quickest way to the government of
the Gem of the Antilles by her own
people.
On the stroke of noon, to the
strains of the Spanish Royal March
by an American band, down came
the flag of Spain. Directly after
wards, at 1904 o'clock, up went the
stars and Stripes to the music of the
Star Spangled Banner" and on the
birth of new year came to Cuba it's
first breath of freedom.
Directly after the ceremonies Capt.
Gen. Castellanos left the palace,
and, escorted by American, en-
barked for Matanzas, leaving Maj
Gen. Brooke Governor of all Cuba.
