Locusts Arrive on Time.

Large numbers of I7-year locusts have
appeared in this city, and reports OF sim
liar visitations have reached the Depart
mcnt of Agriculture from Altoona, Pa,
and Nashville, Tenn.
The department sent 5000 postal cards
throughout the country asking tor I'M
mediate reports on the first appearance;
of the locusts. The experts have fuli
record of their appearance in 1885 and
know where to look for then this year;
According to the charts Maryland and
Indiana, with the adjoining counties OF
their neighboring States, are to be most
affected by the pest The department
entomologists say that young nursery
trees and young shoots of mature trees
are all that will sustain injury from. the
visitation of the locusts, and that there
is no cause for alarm over their appear
ance. 1t is anticipated that the locuStss
will be reported from other portions OF
Pennsylvania and Tennessee and from
New Jersey Delaware, Maryland, Vir'
ginia, West Virginia, North Carolina
South Carolina, Kentucky, Ohio, lndi-
ana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin an'
possibly a few other localities.

PRESIDENT PALMA
General Wood Lowers the Stars and Stripes, Hosts
the Cuban Standard and Then Embarks for
Home-Great Enthusiasm Among the
People Attending the Ceremonies
at Havana.

Havana, (SpeciaI.- The natal day
OF the republic Of Cuba found Havana
arrAyed like queen to await the COM
ing of her lord. She seemed renvested
for the occasion with the dignity of the
prosperous days of her power and
wealth.
Mr. Palma was inaugurated as Pres
ident, The American flag was taken
down and the Cuban colors were thrown
to the breezes General Wood. who has
been military governor of the island,
sased away. The American troops,
with the exception of a detachment to
guard American property on the island,
disembarked and the American rule is
over.
1t was a beautiful day for the inaug
uration of the first President of the Re
public. All Havana was in holiday at
tire which meant gay colors everywhere.
Good order prevailed
The inaugural ceremony was brief and
simple. Mr.. Palma, General Wood, the
distinguished persons invited to witness
the ceremony gathered in the Spanish
palace AT noon, after formal greetings,
General Wood read the documentary
transfer prepared by the War Depart
ment pledging the new government to
Immediately proclaim the constitution
and the Platt amendment contained in
the appendix, and to undertake all obli-
cations assumed by the United States,
with respect to Cuba, by the treaty of
Paris
This document was signed by Presi-
dent Palma. With the old veteran,
General Gomez, he ascended to the roof
of the palace He was instantly recog-
nized and met with a great demonstra-
tion of welcome. General Wood him
self undid the halliards from the flag
staff and lowered the American colors
AS they huttered down the cavalry be-
low saluted their flag and, like an echo
of the cheers that arose, came the dis
tant boom of one of the great guns OF
Cabanas Fortress across the bay. 1t was
followed by another and another in
rhythmic succession until IS shots had
been fred--one for each state in the I'm
ion As the first gun spoke the flags on
Moro Castle and those on the Santa
Clara and Punta fortresses we're lowered
The jurisdiction of the United States had
ended
In the meantime a Cuban flag had been
bent on the billiards of the palace flag
staff, and by his own hand General Wood
raised it, as an act of the United States

1t was caught up by the people on the
roofs and rolled over the city
The demonstration was still in prog,
ress when the cavalry wheeled and
marched to the wharf where they imme-
diately embarked on the MORO Castle.
General Wood and his adjutant gen
eral Colonel Scott, with two aides, after
a last exchange of good wishes, were
driven to the pier, where they entered a
launch and were hcked away to the
Brooklyn. Both ships got under way as
soon as possible and steamed out OF the
harbor. The man at the taffrail of the
Brooklyn was kept busy dipping the flag
in answer to the salutes of the thousands
upon the waterfront who watched het
departure.
A large hotilla of various water craft
escorted the Brooklyn to sea.
While this was occurring at Havana
a similar scene was being enacted al
Santiago, where General Whitslde at
noon turned over the authority to his
Cuban successor and sailed away with
two troops of the Eighth Cavalry.
Before the Brooklyn was hull dowr
on the horizon the Cubans resumed theit
festivities.
At night the whole city was illuni-
mated, and a great pyrotechnic display
was made from the walls of MORO Cas-
tie and Cubannas fortress.

Farmer Exodus is Checked.

Ex-senator Manderson, of Nebraska
who had been attorney for two beet
sugar companies, was before the Senate
Committee on Relations with Cuba and
related details of the cut in sugar at Mis-
souri, river points
He said the action of the trust was
for the purpose of destroying beet-sugai
growing. He said that all previous leg
islation had been an invitation to grow
beet sugar, but the proposed concession
to Cuba had prevented several factories
from being started. He said that farm
ers are going from the Middle Western
States to Manitoba, but that the beet
sugar growing had arrested this emigra-
ton for time.

Elnridn Feels a Quake.

ST. Augustine, Fla. (Special AL
most continuous shocks, presumably of
earthquake, were felt here from to IL
o'clock P. NJ The shocks were accom-
panied by succession Of short but sharp
reports, like distant cannonading SEEM
ingly from far out at sea. The sounds
were unlike thunder, having no rever-
berating roll, and were accompanied by
decided tremors, while the sky in the
southeast was suffused with glow. The
reports came at intervals of perhaps
three minutes. Persons who remember
the earthquake at Charleston say the
noises were similar to the subterranean
sounds accompanying that calamity.
