HAVANA WILD WITH Joy.
Inauguration of Mayor Rodriguez Rouses
Cubans- General Wood and star
Present.


Present.
Havana (By Cable) AT no time
since the American occupation of Cuba
has Havana shown such scenes of en-
thusiasm and excitement as we're wit
messed Sunday upon the occasion of the
Inauguration of Gen. Alexandra Rodri-
guez, the first Cuban elected mayor.
Every house on the principal streets
was decorated, even the palace being
gaily trimmed with both American and
Cuban flags. Firecrackers and rockets
were going off all day, while the hymn
"Bayamo" seemed to be on the lips of
everybody, from children to gray
boards. The Inauguration ceremonies
took place at noon in the council cham
Der.
General Wood, accompanied by his
staff, entered the building by private
door, and was received by Gen. Maxine
Gomez and General Rodriguez, who es-
corted him to the chamber, which was
decorated with flags and flowers The
proceedings commenced by Senior Me-
deros, the outgoing mayor. reading a
resume of what had been done since
Senor Lacoste first took Office. At the
conclusion of the reading General Rod
riguez and the new council were sworn
in, when the band struck up the hymn
"Bayamo" amid loud "Vivas" from the
large crowd which had gathered out
side.
General Rodriguez merely said he
thought it was unnecessary to make
any remarks. His future actions, he
said, would speak more than words.
He thought the best they could do now
would be to go, over to the military de-

they thoroughly believed in the good
faith of the United States Government
and also indorsed his administration
of affairs. Turning, he cordially shook
hands with General Wood and then led
the way to the banquet hall. The ban
quet was laid for eighty guests.
Speeches were made in a spirit ex-
pressive of much more cordial good
will towards the Americans than the
local papers would have people believe
exists.
Addressing General Wood, the new
mayor said the governors administra-
tion had been such as to elicit the ad-
miration, not only of his own country
men, but the gratitude of all Cuba and
on behalf of the National party, he de-
sired to state that it had the fullest
confidence in the intentions of the
American administration.
Replying, General Wood said that
the United States had always intended
to carry out the joint resolution of Con-
gress and that every step taken by the
Government in connection with Cuban
affairs had tended for that end The
forming of the rural guards and the
gradual withdrawal of United States
troops was only a small portion of
what was intended. Nobody, he de-
clared, could defeat the results unless
it was the Cubans themselves.
long procession was then formed,
in which fully $4,000 men and ten
bands took part, and marched past the
mayors office and that of the governor,
greeting both with great enthusiasm.
