EVACUATION
The Anniversary Of British
Defeat Celebrated
IN NEW YORK
Memo ia|s Of Americas Re.
lease from British Rule

New York, Nov. 26, The 1lSth
anniversary Of the Evacuation Day
occurred this year yesterday for it was
on the 25th of November 1882, that
the British sailed away from the Port
of New York, which they had occupi-
ed so long. The event was duly cele.
brated. The "Old Guard" paraded
and the Stars and Stripes was hoisted
to the masthead at the Battery and
commemorative exercises were held at
St. Paul's.
Evacuation day was long held by
New Workers al the most important
event of the war, as it was to them in
that it gave them a practical realiza.
ton Of the release of the BRITISH yoke.
Sir Guy Carleton, who was in COM
mand of the British troops, had, pre-
vious to setting sail, removed the
Tory residents of the city and their
families to Nova Scotia, because they
feared the animosity Of the American
troops when they re-entered the city.
When the clock of old St. Paul struck
II on November %, the American
troops began to march down from
Harlem Heights. In the procession
were General George Washington and
| Gov. Clinton.
AS the British had nailed the Brit
ish flag to the flagstaff and had cut
away the cleats. it Was necessary for
a young sailor to climb the creased
pole, mailing cleats as he went. The
hated British flag was soon under the
feet of the populace, and the Ameri-
can flag was hoisted in time for Lord
Howe to see it through his field. glass
from his ships far down the Bay. For
many years the anniversary of Eva
cuation Day rivalled the Fourth of
July in the affections of the people
and was celebrated with as much en-
thusiasm.

BERNIE, Switzerland, March 29.-Accord-
ing to the Delagoa Bay Railway award,
which was unanimous, Portugal is con-
demned to pay 15,3l4.Oo0 francs. Following
is the text of the decision, which is in six
clauses:
81. The Portuguese government as the
defending party is condemned to pay the
government of the United States and to
Great Britain. the claimants, altogether,
in addition to the e2SOO0 paid on account
in 1890, the sum of Is, ,314 600 francs in legal
Swiss money, with simple interest on this
sum at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum
from June l. 1889, up to date of payment
of said sum.
I'll. This sum, after deducting what is
necessary to defray the cost of arbitration
falling on the claimants and i'm addition to
the balance of G2S,OO0 paid on account In
1880, shall be employed in the payment of
bondholders and other creditors, If there is
need, of the DelagOa Bay Railway Com
pany according to their standing. The
claimants will draw up scale of distribu-
tion for this purpose. The Portuguese gov
ernment will have to pay into the hands of
the government of the United States the
sum which, according to said scale, shall
accrue to McMurdo, represented by said
government on her quality of bondholding
creditor of the first and second degree. 1t
will pay the surplus to the government of
Great Britain for the benefit of all others
having rights.
Ill. Tne delay or SIX months nxed by
the last line of Clause Nv of the arbitra-
tion compromise shall run from this day
forth.
"IV. The costs of the arbitration. ac-
cording to a scale to be drawn up i'm ac-
cordance with Clause of the arbitration
compromise, will be borne in equal parts
oy the three parties to the suit. that is to
say. third part of each b. each of them.
"V. Ine conclusions OF the parties in so
far they differ from the above award
are set aside.
"VI. An authentic copy of the present
award will be delivered through the inter
mediary of the Swiss Federal Council to
each Of the three parties to the case"
The preamble says that after deliberation
the court DEGREES as follows:
"First-The court rejects all demands in
favor of a final inquiry. 1t declines also to
separate the judgment on the principal OBJ
ject of litigation from that dealing with
the indemnity due for the territory in ques-
tion.
"Second-On the other hand, the court
decides to deliver forthwith its definite de-
cree on the main question and to commune
cate to the parties an authentic copy of
its essential points, the complete decree,
with a recital of the reasons, to follow
after short period. Hereupon the court,
consisting of three members present. unan-
imously has returned and filed its decree in
the following terms"

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.
The Decision Not Received with Sat-
fsfactfon I'm London.

fsfactfon I'm London.
LONDON, March 3O-The Daily Mail,
commenting on the award at Berne, says:
1.-The boundless procrastination of the
tribunal is difficult to explain, for not the
smallest trace of equity can be discovered
in the award of the beggarly 100000
awarded compensation for a conces-
sion valued at $6,OO0,0O0. We fear the arbi-
traitors allowed themselves to be prejudiced
against British interests by the irrational
anglophobia which has seized on the Swiss
people. BY their conduct the arbitrators
have struck a deadly blow at arbitration"
The Daily Chronicle says: "The award
corresponds with the general anticipation.
Portugal is condemned to pay, including
interest. nearly million sterling Probably
the igenuity of Pretoria was fertile con-
tributor to the inexplicable delay of the
arbitration. We wonder whether the diplo-
matists at Lisbon think they have had
the value of their money" The editorial
then proceeds to reproach the British gov
ernment with doing nothing to stop Presi-
dent Kruger's open intrigues in the Delagoa
bay affair and says: 1--WE would not be
surprised TO find that President Kruger
had thoughfully banked nice sum to en-
able Portugal to pay the indemnity and
so to provide against the contingency he
foresaw so clearly in March. 1885, On the
other hand. President Kruger has had all
the value he Is likely 20 get out of Delagoa
bay, and he is not the man to pay for
favors received If they can be had for
nothing. In this state of uncertainty we
should be glad TO have some announce
ment from Lord Salisbury"
The Daily News says: "The sum awarded
is great a surprise as has been the un-
considerable time taken by the arbitrators
III arriving at a decision. 1t had been es-
t!mated that between two and two and a
half millions sterling at least would be
the amount of the award and on the finan-
c.al obligations thus TO be laid upon Por-
tugal a great deal of political speculation
has recently turned. This speculation will
probably have TO undergo a good deal of
modification
The Daily Graphic says: '"The award IS
profoundly unsatisfactory. for IL ever there
was a high-handed and unjustifiable raid
on private property IT was the conhscation
of the Delagoa Bay Railway"
The Times says: ''rhe company and its
creditors will doubtless consider the sum
awarded far from adequate. bat It is prob
ably as much they can reasonably have
expected TO recover. and as much as Por-
tugal can manage TO raise without assist
ance." After commenting on the needless
delay in the proceedings the Times goes
on to say: 1T is believed that Portugal
some time ago made provisions for meeting
the greater part OF the sum awarded. She
has done . wrong to British and American
