gan focking here from all quarters of
the city. Many were already before
the palace with the rising sun and
some even slept in the park to be GER
tain not to miss this sight.
A portion of the plaza was kept clear
by the police very early. The re-
malnder was packed with people, SO
thick that the grounds seemed alive.
Soon all the side streets running
into the plaza were choked into a solid
mass of humanity, and every door and
window fronting the square was walled
IN with faces, white and black, old
end young, male and female. Then
crowds sought the roofs, overlooking
every building that commanded view
OF the Flagstaff on the palace. AS far
as the eye could see the roof lines
were fringed with human freight. 1t
was a sight to live forever in memory.
Drawn up below, in the open space
OF the plaza, were eight dismounted
troops of the Seventh cavalry, with
sabres at their heels. Their horses
were already on board the steamer
which, was to take them back to the
United States.
Shortly before 1880 a. M, those
who were to witness the ceremony be-
gan to arrive, in carriages, through a
street kept clear by the police. All
the naval officers were arrayed in full
uniform, respondent in gold braid and
plumed chapeaux. The Cubans, gen.
orally, wore black frock suits, white
waistcoats and silk hats. They formed
distinguished looking assemblage as
they gathered in the audience cham
Der.
Ceremony Brief and Simple.
The ceremony itself was brief and
simple. After formal greetings Gen.
eral Wood read the documentary trans
feE. prepared by the war department,
pledging the new government to i'm
mediately proclaim the constitution
and the Platt Amendment contained
in the appendix, and to undertake all
obligations assumed by the United
States, with respect to Cuba, by the
treaty of Paris.
Senior Palma attached his signature
to document, as president of the Gu
ban republic, after an exchange OF
congratulations, and the veteran Gen.
eral Gomez assembled to the roof of the
palace, where he was accorded a great
reception.
General Wood personally lowered
the American colors which were sa
luted, and with his own hands hoisted
the Cuban flag as an act of the United
States, General Gomez assisting.
General Wood and his staff and the
American troops embarked immediate
ly after the hosting of the Cuban flag
and the American ships steamed out
of the harbor. '-,,,
At the time the transfar took place
in Havana General Whitside, at San
tiago, turned over his authority to his
Cuban successor and sailed away with
the American cavalry, which had been
in garrison there.

TEXAS TORNADO
BELIEVED MORE THAN ONE HUN.
DRED LIVES WERE LOST IN
SUNDAYS STORM.
GOLIAD SUFFERS SEVERELY

Casualty List in the Little Town
Placed at Ninety Dead and Over a
Hundred Injured-Expected Full Re-
turns From Country Districts Will
Swell Death Lists Made Up From
First Reports.
Dallas, Tex, May 20.-The Associat-
ed Press reached Goliad by telephone
for a few minutes shortly after noon.
Operator reported 160 dead and 100
wounded, the majority negroes, as the
storm swept the negro district in the
west end of the town.
Business section not touched. The
town is now under military rule.
Houston, Tex, May 2O.-It is believ.
ed that between 100 and 200 lives have
been lost in a hurricane which swept
Southern and Western Texas from the
Red river to the lower gulf coast, a
stretch OF fully 600 miles.
Of the fatalities nearly half occurred
in Goliad, a town of $500 inhabitants
on the San Antonio river, 60 miles
southwest of this city. That place
was almost entirely wrecked, and the
most conservative estimate places the
loss of life at "A, while scores of per
sons suffered injuries.
San Antonio, Austin, Mexia, Beeville
and Fcrt Sam Houston suffered from
the visitation, and it is believed that
when reports from country districts
are all in the calamity will prove to be
the worst that has befallen the gull
coast since the hurricane of 1900 and
it's accompanying tidal wave engulfed
the city of Galveston. -.-~-->.
Owing to the fact that wires are
down in all directions, particularly be
tween Houston and San Antonio
where the greatest damage was done
it is impossible to ascertain definitely
the full extent of the storm or how Sc
verely ether and smaller towns suffer
ed. There is every reason to believe
however, that as in the case of previous
storms from which the state has suf
fered, the deaths in the outlying dis
tricts will greatly swell the death lists
made up from first reports.

murphy & Co.'S Stock Letter,

New York, Aug THE stock mar
ket to-day showed a considerable in
crease in activity and an improved dis
tribution of business and a shifting of
interest Sensational advances We're es :
t&blished in some of the specialties.
The soft coalers were among the prom
inent features and the Western ele-
ment again contributed to the rise by
purchases of various issues, taking
southern Railway freely. Trade hard
ening tendency of general market ear
ly in the day induced quite a little
covering of short contracts. Missouri
Pacific declined nearly 2 per cent from
last night, but recovered almost / per
cent. Texas Pacific was less active,
but held strong. Sugar declined frac-
tionally on talk that a dividend in
crease is improbable. Louisville and
Nashville and p. and o., Kansas and
Topeka, Cincinnati and Ohio and Bal
timore and Ohio and Lead scored ex-
IRENE gains, l to or better. Hooking
Valley rose an extreme point on expec-
tation of retirement of preferred stock
at 100, and the increased earnings re-
sulting from exceptionally profitable
condition of soft coal industry. Nickel
Plate gained liz and preferred 911 on
small transactions, with no explana-
ton. Manhattan rallied over l per
cent. from the low figure. Southern
Railway showed strength due to ia
vGrable judicial decision in suit filed

Murphy & CO.'S Grain Letter.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 1.-THE break In
corn near the close caused a weak
wheat market. Selling was not heavy.
but there was poor support. The mar
ket was strong during the early ses-
sion, but later offerings were free, re-
sulting in a loss of nearly all the ad-
vance. Trade was light and aside from
the early buying by elevator interests,
the market was without a feature.
Corn broke towards the close. There
was no support to the market. and the
decline was easy. The market was
strong early with trade light. the pit
crowd acted very bullish, and there
was spirited bidding by Harris-Gates.
Commission houses were about the best
sellers but the offerings were not ex-
cessive, and the market advanced:
There was a disposition of some OF
yesterdays sellers to cover. and this
gave additional strength. News was
generally bearish. Lower cables, good
weather and crop. reports of the very
best character, small receipts and good
cash demand were about only bulllsn
influences.
Oats suffered with corn late in ses-
sion, and the market closed weak anu
lower. Commission houses were the
best buyers. Offerings were light. ana
there was no conspicuous selling Inc
decline came without effort on the part
of bears.
There was further outside selling OF
provisions at the opening this morn
ing, and pork suffered severely, put
brokers took the offerings and bid for
more, causing an advance in pork ana
sfeadied the other products. Market
continued strong until near the close,

of the fire station. The run to the
hotel corner. distance of a third of
a mile. was made in minutes and 5

seconds.

The owner of the satchel which was
so mysteriously left by a negro on
Harris street a few mornings ago has
been found. The mystery surrounding
the actions of the negro have. how
ever, not been cleared up by the dis
coyery.
Last April gentleman named Hop

lost satchel. The detectives were at

No clue to the whereabouts of the
missing satchel had been found until
it turned up in the barracks a few days

FROM WATER FRONT
SHIPPING INTERESTS HOPE TO
HAVE GRAIN EXPORTS.
RAILROAD RUMoRS WATCHED.
IF SATISFACTORY THROUGH RATES
ARE GIVEN GRAIN WILL COME.

This Would Mean Much for the
Shippers From Using Savannah So
Far-DereIict at Sea-Matters of In
terest to shippers and Mariners.
With the talk of the combinations of
railroads, and particularly that of the
Frisco road with the Central of Geor-
gia, shipping people are interested in
knowing whether there is really pos
sibility of a combination that will
draw Western grain here for export
The friends of the port have for years
hoped for a turn in transportation that
would enable shippers TO get satisfac-
tory freight rates here, bit so far they
have been unable to do so. Baltimore,
Philadelphia and other ports have got
ten that business.
Mr C. w. Howard, who has worked
along this line in the past, found that
attractive rates could not be obtained
10 Savannah, and, therefore, shippers
could not be induced to use this as
point of export. What is wanted is a
through rate which will enable Sava1-
nah to compete with other grain eX-
porting ports. The talk among ship
ping people indicates that they Will be
pleased if in the course of events
this advantage is gained.

Next she made 200-mile drift south
