Patriots-Great Demonstration.
Havana, May 20.-The natal day of
Cuba found Havana arrayed like a
queen to await the coming of her lord,
She seemed reinvested for the occsion
with the dignity Of the prosperous
days of her power and wealth. The
decorations were universal There
was not a residence. pretentious or
humble, that did not bear upon it's
quaint facade some emblem in honor
Of the event The many arches erect
ed at the entrances of plaZas by pOliti-
cal societies, fraternal clubs, resi-
dences and business organizations had
an air of real grandeur. Bunting
spread on Venetian masts canOpied the
9eep, narrow streets from the rays of
the sun. Beneath these canopies the
Cuban colors and palms graced the
open doorway. Nature seemed in har-
mOny with the spirit of the festivi-
ties
The parks were literally afame with
tropical flowers and the vaulted sky
above might have been chiseled out of
turquoise. Above every red tiled roof
rose a Cuban flag. The whole city
seemed suddenly buried beneath a for
est Of waving banners.
The decorations along the water
front were exceedingly lavish and all
the shipping in the harbor was dressed
in gala attire. The majority of the
ships flew the American ensign at the
main and the Cuban colors at the fore
or mizZen.
The early morning was cool and de-
lightful and the entire population, re-
inforced by thousands of visitors,
was abroad soon after daylight. The
streets were swarming with people
and were filled with a ceaSeIess din.
There are 1000 public carriages in
Havana and this morning each one of
them seemed racing somewhere on a
life or death mission.
The actual transfer of the control of
the island was scheduled to occur ex-
actly at noon, Havana time, which is
1890 p. m. Washington time, but
were requested to be at the palace at
11:30 a. m. They included besides the
American officers and the members of

warships, the foreign consuls, William
Jennings Bryan, the other visiting
American statesmen, several of Senior
Palma's Central Valley, N. Y, neigh
bOrs; Horatio Rubens, counsel for the
former Cuban junta; Colonel William
Astor Chanler and a few other spe-
cially invited guests.
Senor Palma attached his signature
to document as president of the Gu.
ban republic after an exchange of con-
gratulations, and the veteran General
Gomez ascended to the roof of the pal
ace, 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 Unit.

THE AYcocK DROWNING.
Dublin Not Yet Recovered From tn
Shock of the Tragedy.

Shock of the Tragedy.
Dublin. Ga, July 1.-THE people of
Dublin have not yet fully recovered
from the shock of the drowning in
Bulloch county of Mr.. B. Aycock and
wife Of this city.
There was not a more promising
young man in this section than Mr..
Aycock. He came to Dublin just few
years ago to act as bookkeeper for the
Sam Weichselbaum Company. When
the Southern Cotton Oil Company last
year purchased the plant of the Dublin
Oil Mill and Ice Company, Mr.. Aycock
was rendered the position of manager.
Under Mr.. Aycocks management the
mill has prospered greatly. His en-
ployers were much pleased with his
services as manager and recently gave
him a substantial increase in salary
and promised a like increase next year.
About one month ago, Mr.. Aycock was
rendered the position of cashier of the
Laurens Banking Company, to fill a
vacancy caused by the resignation of
Mr.. A. w. Garrett, who goes with the
First National Bank This position Mr.
Aycock declined because he believed
that he could do better by remaining
with the Southern Cotton Oil Company.
Mrs. Aycock was the oldest daugh-
ter of Judge w. A. Wood. ordinary of
Laurens county. She was a very pop
ular young woman. For several years
she has been organist at the Dublin
Baptist Church. She and Mr.. Aycock
had been married only two months.
Since their marriage they have been
living with Judge Wood, but on Mon
day Contractor Fuller began work on
an eight-room cottage for them.
Mr.. Aycock and wife were visiting
the parents of the former. near Scar
borough. When drowned they were in
bathing, probably in the Ogeechee
river. The parents of Mr.. Aycock
were the only witnesses to the tragic
affair. In half hour after they were
drowned the bodies were recovered, but
too late to save their lives.

FATAL SHOOTING AFFAIR.
In Ta1iaferrO County One Negro
Empties Gun Into Another.

IN IAI4AeFEO NOuuty OhC NG&A ~
Empties Gun Into Another.
Washington, Ga, July I'm the
northern part of Taliaferro county yes
terday a negro boy named Julius Sla-
ton shot and fatally wounded John
Evans, another negro. The shooting
was a sequel to a feud that has for
some time existed between the two ne
groes.
1t is said that both negroes We're
armed with breech-loading shot guns
when they met in the road and with
out exchanging words Evans raised his
gun and attempted to shoot Slaton.
The gun, however, failed to fire and
in an instant Slaton discharged his gun
at Evans, the> entire load of shot en-
tering his abdomen. 1t is only ques-
ton of a few days when the wounded
boy will die, as the attending physi-
clan has announced that his recovery
is almost impossible. 1t is reported that
after being severely wounded Evans
finally succeeded in firing his gun at
Slaton, but missed him. The boy who
did the shooting went to Crawfordville
and gave himself up to the sheriff and
is now in Jail.
Several arrests have been made of
parties claimed to have been impli-
Gated in the affair. The negroes in the
neighborhood where the affair occurred
are terribly wrought UP and further
trouble is feared.
The infant boy of Col. and Mrs. j.
M. Pitner died this morning and was
buried at Thomson to-day. The child
was only two years old.
A fine rain fell here last night, the
first in four weeks. The corn crop was
in precarious condition and the rain
came just in time to save it from be-
ing almost complete failure. AS it is
a fair yield will be the result. The cot
ton crop is looking well and if nothing
occurs will turn out better than was at
first expected. The fruit crop and gar
den are not doing well.
