Our Troops Parade.
The parade of the United States
troops showed the feeling of the Cuban
element Of the population. The march
was from Ell Vedado, along the Achia
Del Norte, the prado and Central park
to Cerro and Quemados. About every
fourth house displayed some decora-
ton, palm branch, bit Of red, white
and blue bunting or flag. Not dozen
flags were to be seen in the stately
pTado. In the Achia Del Norte the
troops passed under the skeletons Of
triumphal arches, left unfinished when
It was decided to postpone the demon
stratiou. 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 then there was cry: "viva
Los Americanos!" followed by burst
Of cheering. but there was no general
expression OF public rejoicing, thclgh
Maj. Gen. Lee. who rode at the head Of
the column on a gray charger, received
= personal ovation along nearly the en-
tire route. Maj. Gen. Brooke, Mai. Gen.
Ludlow and the other generals reviewed
the corps, standing on bench in front
OF the Hotel Inglaterra and surrounded
by their staffs. AS the column swung
into Central park, past the lonely-look-
ing statue of the queen regent, it made
al impressive appearance. Gen. Lee
left the procession and joined the re-
viewing generals. At this point there
was more cheering than elsewhere for
the Americans, the crowd being inn
mense and densely congested.
Indiana Boys Under Arrest.
Every man in the last company of the
One Hundred and Sixty-first Indiana
infantry as he entered Central park
drew from under his uniform small
Cuban flag and waved it before the as
semblage. The Cubans went nearly wild
with cheers and excitement, and Gen.
Lee Immediately sent Inspector Gen
eral Lieut.. Col. Curtis Guild, Jr.. to or
der the Indianians to put away the
flags, which they did. The offending
INdianians were the members of com
pany 81 who had received the flags from
some Cuban women.

At Cabanas and MORO.
Havana harbor presented striking
appearance Sunday morning. The stars
and stripes were conspicuous on the
American men-of-war and merchant
nen across the bay, while launches
were constantly plying between the
shore and the ships. The docks were
crowded with sghtseers, many of
whom wished to enter MORO castle and
Cabanas fortress, but they were refused
admission.
When Lieut.. Lee, son of Gen. Lee,

and the halyards were tangled. Two
sailors from the Brooklyn rove off new
halyards, and Lieut.. Lee requested the
Spanish officer in charge, Lieut.. Cache,
10 hoist the Spanish flag, that the Amer
leans might salute it. Lieut.. Cache was
| ABOUT to do this, when Lieut.. Col. Caves

I would be unnecessary. Then on sig
