could recollect whether Morgan was nominal

they consider him its real ruler"

A NEN REPUBLIC IS BORN.
Free From Debt and Contagious
Diseases, With Free Schools Dot
ting the IsIand-A Gala Day in the
City of Havana.

Havana, May 21.-The natal day of
the Republic of Cuba found Ha-
vana arrayed like a queen to await
the coming of her lord. She seemed
reinvested for the occasion with the
dignity of the prosperous days of her
power and wealth.
| The decorations were universal. In
some cases men had worked all night
by the light of torches to complete
elaborate designs. There was not
residence, pretentious or humble,
that did not bear upon its quaint ia
cade some emblem in honor of
the event. The many arches erected
at the entrances of plazas by poiit-
ical societies, fraternal clubs, resi-
dents of various civil divisions of the
city and business organizations had
an air of real grandeur. The scat
folding was covered with canvas
from a distance the illusion was COM
plete. Bunting spread on Venetian
masts canopied the deep, narrow
streets from the rays of the sun. Be-
meath these canopies the Cuban col
ors and palms graced the open door
ways, through which glimpses could
be caught of luxuriant gardens, in
cool. inner courts. Many of the bal
comics jutting from the white-walled
buildings were adorned with roses. Ma
ture seemed in harmony with the
spirit of the festivities. The parks
were literally afame with tropical |
flowers, and the vaulted sky above |
might have been chiseled out Of tur-
quoise. Above every red-tiled roof
rose Cuban flag. The whole city
seemed suddenly buried beneath a
forest of waving banners.
The ceremony itself was brief and
simple. After formal greetings Gen.
Woods read the documentary trans
fer prepared by the war department
the new government to i'm
nediately proclaim the constitution
md the Platt amendment contained
n the appendix, and to undertake all
assumed by the United
States with respect to Cuba by the
reaty of Paris.

lectures. at which the total attendance
was more than 900, 900. Money spent

Free lectures would cultivate the

Paterson, New Jersey, the victim OF
two terrible disasters during the past
spring, refused outside aid in alleviat-
ing the suffering of her victims, and
now sends material assistance to the
sufferers from the volcano disaster in
Martinique. New Jersey is the hatch
ing hole of the trusts and the trusts
have blasted more hopes, wrecked
more lives, destroyed more homes
since the first Inauguration of William
Mckinley as President, than all the
volcanic eruptions recorded in history.
And the people of New Jersey, aiding,
consenting and abetting in this, can
not wash their hands of the stain and
guilt of this blood money.

PELEE's LATEST OUTBREAK.
Millions of Tons Of Ashes and Rocks
Hurled Upon st. Pierre's Ruins.

| Millions of Tons Of Ashes and Rocks
Hurled Upon st. Pierre's Ruins.
Fort De France, Island of Martin
ique, May 22.-Tuesday's eruption
from Mont Pelee was violent in the
extreme. Colossal columns of vol
canic matter were elected from the
volcano, which rained huge, red-hot
boulders many feet in diameter, on
the ruins of ST. Pierre and the coun-
try near it, from an enormous eleva-
ton and with fearful velocity. The
volcanic clouds advanced until they
reac hed Fort De France. The spec
tacle was appalling and beyond de-
scription. The whole town of Fort
De France was thrown into frenzy
of panic, during which soldiers, po-
lice, men and women, all terrified,
frantic, weeping and praying, rushed
through the streets, while overhead
the glowing, fiery clouds rolled re-
lentlessly and rained down stones,
still hot, amid the swirling ashes.
The steam launch of the United
States cruiser Cincinnati took some
refugees to the French cruiser
Suchet and nearly hundred persons
sought refuge on the Cincinnati and
on the United States special steamer
Potomac.
At ten o'clock the Potomac went
to investigate matters, and all re-
ports agree that Lieut. Benjamin b.
Mccormick, the commander of the
steamer, did great work. He went
in close to st. Pierre and found that
city had been bombarded with enor-
nous stones from the volcano, and |
that the ruins left standing after the |
first great disaster had been nearly |
RACED. Millions of tons Of ashes then |
covered the ruined city.
Further south, smaller stones had
the houses of the brave
villagers who had stuck to their
homes

very nicely when placed where they

pathetically referred to him as poor

poor old butcher. . That

liberty of saying for him, "he throws
himself upon his country Mr.. Car

National Bank and F. O. Watts to re-
cover 800, 600 damages. The declara-

pers were served on the bank officers
and Mr.. Watts.
1t is understood that the action is
based on alleged malicious prosecution,
defamation Of character and false in
dictment, and grows out of the iDdict-
ment in the United States Circuit
Court of Mr.. Cummins in connection
with the Lea case, charging abstrac-
ton and interpolation of the funds of
the First National Bank.
Mr.. Cummins is President Of the
Southern Soda Works, and is one of the
