REJOICING IN HAVANA.
Festivities over the Inauguration
Of the New Government.

Havana, May 21.-The illumination of
this city last night was probably never
Surpassed in an American city. The
facades of the hotels and lines of the
arches were decked out in electric
lights; Japanese laterns swung from
trees in the parks; colored lanterns Of
some ancient design glowed above the
door of every residence, and the drive
way leading to the ocean front was
rooted with a myriad OF multi-colored
globes.
The features of the fireworks display
from the fort across the bay were
an immense Cuban flag which rose in
the heavens and f1oated over the city,
and portraits of President Palma. Gen.
eral Gomez, General Marti and other
Cuban heroes.
Significant of the acquiscence Of the
wealthy Spaniards in the new govern
ment was the fact that a Cuban flag
was hoisted over the casino by the side
Of the banner of Spain.
The general festivities were resumed
at dawn today when the buglerS sound
ed the reveille in all parts of the city,
and the bands gave their morning con-
certS.
At s o'clock the foundation stone OF
the triumphal arch commemoI ating the
inauguration of the Cuban republic was
laid, with appropriate airs, on Inde-
pendence avenue. by the Circulo Mac
ional.
This afternoon the theatres were
thrown open and free performances
were given. Tonight a great public
feast will be held on the Prado.

ANOTHER ROYAL VISIT.

 Windsor to Be a Guest.

London, November 17.-The king of Portugal arrived at Windsor tonight from France to pay visit to the king and queen of England. King Edward, who had come directly from Sandringham, met him at the station. The two mon- archs embraced each other most cor dially and then drove off to the castle, accompanied by the cheers of the crowd which gathered outside the station and along the route. A great banquet was given at Windsor castle in honor of the royal guest.
 As the present Is the first occasion on which King Edward has visited the town of Windsor since his illness, the inhabit- ants of the royal borough gave him an elaborate reception. The other ruler at present in England, the German emperor. had good shooting today on the estate of the earl of Lonsdale, whose guest he has been at Lowther castle since Sunday.
 The emperor will take luncheon with Lord Rosebery at the latter's seat at Dal- meny. Scotland, next Friday on his way back to Germany.
