the American occupation of Cuba dis
appeared yesterday afternoon, when the
American flag was lowered from the Ca
bana barracks and the last battalion Of
American soldiers marched to the iris
cornia pier and boarded the United

by a crowd of Americans and Cubans,
President Palma feelingly voiced his
appreciation of all that the Americans
have done for Cuba.

After the soldiers had presented arms
the American flag was slowly lowered
from the staff over the barracks, q salute
of 81 guns meanwhile being fired from
the fortress. The Cuban flag was raised
in its place and also saluted with q guns.
Palma Speaks. sa
President Palma then addressed Mr..
Squiers and Maj. Brown, commander Of
the American troops, saying:
1--WE. are confronted by one Of the
most extraordinary facts recorded in
history, the departure from our shores
of the last troops the United States had
kept in Cuba, after helping us to secure
our independence and the blessings of
freedom. They could stay longer, under
any pretext whatever, or an unjust de-
mand could be imposed upon us, but, on
the contrary. the government of the
United States, Unidentified as 1t is with the
liberal spirit and noble character OF the
American people, willingly proves Its
disinterestedness and the sincerity OF
the aid it rendered us by taking these
men away and showing us at the same
time that we have, as an Independent
people, the confidence of one of the most
powerful nations on earth.
Will Always BE Grateful.
''This act of the United States in with
drawing their troops from Cuban terri
tory reflects upon them everlasting glory
and makes us proud Of ourselves, for it
means that nobody. doubts our ability to
govern ourselves; or to maintain peace
and order and guarantee the rights Of
all the Inhabitants of this island This
new consideration shown us, together
with the services we have previously re-
ceiyed at their hands, will bind the Gu
ban people forever in a strong tie of sim
cere gratitude" S' 90

of Cuba. ri 3-f Ga sf

sent to Toxic last night. The feeling IN
the higher circles continues to be that
Russia has offered substantial conces-
sions. but that she cannot meet Japan's
wishes regarding Manchuria or agree
to Japanese Notifications In southern
corea. It is intimated in certain official
quarters that If Japan should offer a
counter proposal that Russia guaranteed
fChina's Manchurian treaties, 1rrespect-
i've of the ultimate. sovereignty OF the
province, there might be q chance of
reaching such compromise. 1t is
argued that this settlement would safe
guard the existing commercial interests
Of all the powers in Manchuria.
Will Not Declare War.
Much anxiety and doubt prevail here
with regard to theN future. but one
thing is certain: Russia will not de-
clare war. nor will she initiate hostile
action if the negotiations break down.
Russia will remain quiescent until at
tackled. -

Arthur says there is no announcement
there of the mobilization or the calling
out of the reserves, but that everything

Action Uuprecedented.

The transfer of Mrs. May brick from
penal prison to quiet country home
constitutes an almost unprecented ac-
ton on the part of the authorities. It.
was due to the mediation of Adeline
Marie, duchess of Bedford, who, as a
visior to Aylesbury prison for many
years, has taken keen personal interest
in Mrs. Maybrick, and finally succeeded
in obtaining the mitigation of her pun
ishment to the extent of being allowed
to spend the last six months of her con-
finement outside the prison walls. The
home office several months ago agreed
to meet the request of the duchess of
Bedford. although it imposed a pledge
of secrecy. Therefore, in order to per-
nit her hair to grow out again and for
the recuperation of her health, Mrs.
Maybrick was quietly transferred to this
private institution.

The Code Commission.

Regarding the work being done by the
Code commission. Judge T. B. Womack. a
memberC of the commission. says:
eve are getting on very well, indeed.
There will be two volumes. 1t is our pur-
pose to put all the public laws in one
volume and in the other the laws regard
ing the State government and it's forty
different departments. Then there VIII
not be necessity for the distribution Of
the second volume. and this will save the
State a good deal of money. We will
recommend an abridgement of the first
volume, especially for justices of the peace,
this to contain only such laws as relate
to them and to their jurisdiction. There
are 5000 or 5000 magistrates. and you
will readily see what a saving this will
effect. When the last code was issued it
was sent to. every magistrate. AS re-
suit very few lawyers bought copies, as
nearly all obtained them from friendly
justices of the peace.
'The plan which we suggest will save
a great deal of money. possibly so per
cent. There is certainly great deal of
work upon the Code. and we are going
at it in the most painstaking manner"
