was walled in with faces, white an,

overlooking every building that com
manded a view of the flagstaff on tn,
palace. AS far as the eye could see
the roof lines were fringed will
human freight. 1t was a sight t.
live forever in memory.
In the open space of the plaza were
eight dismounted troops of the Sew
enth cavalry with sabers at their
heels. Their horses were already on
board the steamer which was to take
them back to the United States.
Ceremonies Begun.
Shortly before 11:4O a. m. those who
were to witness the ceremony began
to arrive in carriages through a street
kept clear by the police. All naval
officers were arrayed in full uniform
Respondent in gold braid and plumed
chapeaux. The Cubans generally
wore black frock suits, white waist
coats and silk hats. They made a
fine looking assemblage as they gath
cred in the audience chamber. The
ceremony itself was brief and sim
pie. After formal greetings General
Wood read the documentary transfer
prepared by the war department
pledging the new government to pro
claim the constitution and the Platt
amendment contained in the appen-
dix and to undertake all obligations
assumed by the United States with
respect to Cuba in the treaty of Paris.
Woods Proclamation.
Proclamation "B" is issued by Cen
eral Wood as military governor. 1t
in due form that the Cuban
congress convened in Havana May
5, examined the credentials and GER
to the election of the senators
and representatives and also found
Thomas Estrada Palma and Cuba
Luis Esteves Romero to have been
respectively president and
v~ice-president of the republic; that
On May 20 at noon the Cuban con-
stitution will go into effect. The doc
lment then reads:
"Thereupon at that time, the occu-
of Cuba by the United States
Ind the military government Of the
sland will cease and determine, and
government and control of the
sland will be transferred to the pres
dent and congress so elected, to be
leld and exercised by them under
he constitution SO promulgated. Such
will be upon the understand
ng that the new government does
and by the acceptance there
If, pursuant to the provisions of the
said appendix to the constitution, as
and undertake all and severally
The obligations assumed by the Unit
ed States of America and her majesty |

Proclamation &c" simply declares
The new constitution to be in full
after the date thereof and re
cites the provisions.

MATHEMATICS.
WHO CAN ANSWER?

l. A man hunting finds squirrel in
tree; the man walks around the tree
to get sight of the squirrel. But the
squirrel goes around the tree also.
Does the man go around the squirrel?
2. A railroad car travels one mile
per minute. Two men enter the car
at the same time at the rear end. One
man sits down and the other man
walks the length of the car (6O feet) in
just one minute. How much faster
has he travelled than the man that sat
down?
3. Express the nine digits by placing
four 3's to represent each one of them.
4. Put down fifty, and then naught,
then five, then one-tifth of eight and
you will have something that rules
the world.
5. Two wheels are on an axle 18 feet
long. How much land will the outer
wheel circumscribe on plain? The
diameters of the wheels are respective
ly 2-5 and 2-7 feet.-[F. E. Sturges,

ARCTIC EXPLORER KILLED

An English Missionary returning
from Alaska brings authentic infor-
nation of the fate of Explorer Andre
and his balloonist companions.
Two years ago, 1900 miles north
of York, party of Esquimos saw
the Andre balloon alight on a plain
of snow about 200 miles north of
Fort Churchill. Three men emerged
from the balloon, and some of the
natives approached them out of curi-
osity. AS they did so, one of Andres
party fired gun as a salute upon
their landing. 1t was regarded as a
challenge, and almost instantly the
esquimos fell upon the three explor-
ers and massacred them. Everything
pertaining to their outfit was carried
to the homes Of the natives on the
borders of the Arctic region.
Another attempt will be made soon
to reach the North Pole by means
of feet of airships. Julius r.
Frederichs, survivor of the Greely
expedition, is one of the principals
of the enterprise.

IN the past few years this paper has just

We are glad to know that the success
of newspaper does not depend upon
whiskey advertisements Like the CITI-
ZEN, one of the tenets of the Meas from
its first issue in 1890 was opposition to
the liquor traffic. and we have been bat
Ting upon that line ever since, and it is
source of great pleasure to know that
the South Boston Ne,cs has such an able
aud influential ally as the VIRGINIA CIT-
IZEN in its crusade against the monster
evil intemperance.
The advertisements determine the char
acter of a newspaper as much as its edi-
torials. To warn the young against the
evils of the saloon and flaunt into their
faces an attractive and inviting adver-
tisement to such places is species Of
fiagrant Inconsistency that would be
difficult TO explain. We rejoice to Sc

Nfre0ertc6S0uTg Star
fredericksburg is making fight
for a reasonable slice of the river
and harbor appropriations and she
ought to have it.
The above, taken from the Rich
mond Dispatch, expresses our senti-
ments precisely. The good old city
of fredericksburg deserves more rec
ognition by Congress that it has re-
ceived heretofore from that body.
This city is an important trading
centre; much business is done there,
and its shipping facilities should be
properly looked after by Congress.
The river at this point needs a large
appropriation. The trade of Freder-
icksburg, its commercial and manu-
featuring interests are enlarging,
new factories will be built, large
quantities of goods will be shipped
from there, and Congress should see
that the Rappahannock is no barrier
to the expansion of these interests.
We trust that Fredericksburg will
get liberal appropriation.-Car0-
line NetCS.
fredericksburg will not, however
get liberal appropriation and the
money Congress is going to give us
will hardly begin to meet our needs
1t seems that it is pretty hard for us
to get anything anyhow. Martins
vile through the energetic influence
of Mr.. Swanson secured q public
building, and Martinsville is much
smaller than is Fredericksburg. But
we are still hoping and trusting thai
the "Fickle Goddess" will smile on
us and thst a Congressional good
luck will strike us amuck. In til,
meantime we haven't forgotten tht
old maxim that "God helps those
who help themselves" We thanh
the Ne'cs for its good wishes.
