Big Celebration Participated in by Ameri
cans-The New Cabinet.

Havana, Jan. 1.-The new year was
ushered in with a torchlight procession
which. forming just before midnight
and preceded by n band, left the lower
Prado, and made the circuit of the
principal streets. Almost the only tune
played was the Cuban national hymn.
Everybody seemed to be awake and
awaiting the advent of 1900. The
strains of the popular hymn drew the
people everywhere to windows and
doorways and the procession was
greeted with the widest enthusiasm.
Innumerable small boys kept up fire
cracker fusillade along the entire line
of march. All the prominent Cuban
generals We're cheered. although the
vivas We're usually for Cuba Libre."
President Mckinley and General Wood
came in for liberal share of popular
applause.
The procession having returned to
the Prado and the band having once
again played the Cuban national hmyn.
some Americans present called for
THE Star Spangled Banner" The band
cheered Justify.
Eighty per cent. of the American col
ony was present. including General
Wood, General Lee, General Chaffee
and General Ludlow, with their fam
lilies.
The newly appointed Cabinet will
hold its first meeting tomorrow, when
the following secretaries will meet Cen

Congressman Curtis of Kansas has
introduced a bill authorizing the sec
retary of agriculture to establish two
branch stations of his department, one
at Topeka and another at Springfield,
IL. The object of these stations is
stated to be for the manufacture Of
such remedies for hog cholera and
black leg in young cattle as he may
think proper, such remedies to be fur
nished to farmers and stock growers
at actual cost. There is said to be a
general demand for such institutions
in Illinois and Kansas, and it is said
their naturalization will mean much
to the farmers, particularly those who
devote their time to the raising Of fine
cattle and hogs.

BRITISH WIN A VICTORY.
General French Flanks tho Roer Position
Cape Dutch Rising.

Ohpc DutCh 1NAbhhSs
Rensberg, Cape Colony, Jan. 1.-Gen-
eral French has completely defeated
the Beers and occupied Colesberg.
The general continued to keep the
Beers on the mCve and pressed them
closely Saturday and Sunday, giving
them no time to make prolonged
stand, and when day broke he was
within striking distance of the enemy.
Last night all the cavalry, artillery and
infantry, the latter riding in wagons to
increase the general mobility, started
upon night march with the object of
turning the Beers right. The flank
operations We're successful. The infan-
try and field batteries Immediately
made feint attack upon the Boer
front, and while this was proceeding,
the cavalry and artillery got complete
ly around the enemy's right flank, as
arranged. The program worked with
out a hitch. The Beers We're utterly
surprised, and finding their retreat
threatened. fled in disorder to the east
ward, leaving Colesberg in General
French's hands.
Cape Town, Jan. 1.-Ug1S rumors
are in circulation of a Dutch rising
with the object of seiZing Cape Town
and the docks and capturing the gov
ernor of Cape Colony Sir Alfred Mil
ner. The center of the movement is
said to be Paarl, village about thirty
miles from Cape Town, where a meet
ing of the Afrikander bund was held
yesterday.
A similar meeting was held at Rich
mond on December 2Sth, and it is re-
ported that the members of the bunds
in these two towns are acting fp con-
cert.
The members of the bund at Wr1Yljns
ton and the Dutch in Clan William dis
trict are said to be armed with Mans
ers and to be anxious to use them in
behalf of the Beers.
Although the stories of a rising are
discredited. the police and military are
taking ample precautions.

Michigan university authorities have

habitual drunkards as teachers, lectur-

Grated hereafter. 1t is somewhat
startling that any university should

Charles G. Dawes, comptroller OF the
of the investigation into the number
of loans and deposit accounts. rates
OF interest and resources of the com
bined banks of the United States in
the years 1889, 1894 and 1899. The
general deductions from the investiga-
tion covering the last ten years is
given by the comptroller as follows:
That the number OF individual de-
positors in the banks of the United
States is constantly increasing as in
dlcated by the regular increase in the
number of deposit accounts OF the
combined banking systems; that there
is a demand from borrowers for the
use OF the greater proportion of the de-
posits of banks, and while the num-
ber of individual borrowers is increas-
ing the depositors greatly outnumber
the borrowers. and the increase in the
the increase in the number of deposit
ors; that the growth Of the banking
systems Is being characterized by n
gradually lessening rate of interest
charged on loans; that. considering the
large clientage Of national and savings
banks, the average deposit of the in
dividual or corporation is slowly in
c,easing: that the average size of the
loans, all classes OF banks considered,
has not varied much in the last de-
cade
