american TROOPS
QUIT CUBAN SOIL
Every Vestige Of the United States
Occupation Of the Island Has
Disappeared.
Flag Lowered from Cabana Barracks
and Soldiers Embark on Trans
port - President Palma Expresses
His Gratitude. and Says Event L.
Most Notable One in History.

Havana, Feb. 1.-THE last Vesuge OF
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
States army transport Sumner.
Standing on the plain near Cabanas
fortress, between line of American and
line of Cuban troops, and surrounded
by a crowd of Americans and Cubans,
President Palma feelingly voiced his
appreciation of all that the Americans
have done for Cuba.
Flag Comes Down
After the soldiers had presented arms
the American flag was slowly lowered
from the staff over the barracks, salute
of q guns meanwhile being fired from
the fortress The Cuban flag was raise,
in its place and also saluted with q guns.
Palma Speaks.
President Palma then addressed Mr..
Squiers and Maj. Brown, commander OF
the American troops, saying:
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 haG
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 it 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 CT 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 il
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-
ceived at their hands, will bind the Gu
ban people forever in strong tie of sin
cere gratitude"
Mai. Brown Replies.
Maj. Brown replied to President
Palma and thanked him for his kindness
to the American officers and soldiers.
He said he believed he voiced the 0pin-
ions of his comrades in saying that there
were no better people on earth than those
of Cuba.
After this reply all the troops marched
past in platoon formation and boarded
the Sumner

Action Unprecedented.

The transfer of Mrs. Maybrick from
a penal prison to quiet country home
constitutes an almost unprecented ac-
ton on the part of the authorities. 1t
was due to the mediation of Adeline
Marie, duchess of Bedford, who, as a
vision 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.

McWHORTER ON DEvONS.

One of the most enthusiasts ic men
over the Devon breed is l.. V. Nc
Whorter, of North Yakima He used
to be in the business of breed ding the
Devon in central West Virginia, be-
ing in partnership with his father,
but when the latter retired from the
business L. V. went into other lines
of work and tried his hand at other
breeds. His success was not satisfac-
tory, so he went back to the Devons
and started in on good scale at
North Yakima. Speaking about his
connection with the breed, he says:
"My experience is that the Devons
can hold their own with any breed on
earth. AS a general purpose cattle
they have no equal. There are one
or two breeds that excel them in
quantity, but not in quality of milk.
"The final end of all cattle is beef,
and then where is the Jersey and her
kindred tribes? Milk unexcelled, beef
unexcelled, and at any age, that is
the Devon. When the great beef
breeds can produce as cheap and as
good beef at as tender an age as the
Devons can, then will we be willing

field. We were pleased when visit
ing our native hills and glens in West
Virginia recently to find that the De-
vons that we had introduced there
were still to be seen, not only thor
oughbreds, but they had been crossed
with other breeds with the best of re-
suits. have now completed the
makeup of small herd to take to the
state of Washington and in my search
for individuals l was surprised to find
so few for sale in some of the finest
herds, nor do we see them advertised
in stock journals so extensivlye as
other breeds
'To new beginner this is likely to
be discouraging, but the fact is sim
ply this, at least so far as my obser-
walton and investigation have extend
ed, the breeders have no trouble in
disposing of every animal that they
can spare, without the expense of ad-
vertising. Outlines the supply will
not satisfy the local trade.
"'Tis true, we make no $4,000
sales for a single animal, neither do
We have to toot long horn for the
purpose of attracting the attention of
customers to the quality of our stock.
The Devons speak for themselves.
They carry the stamp of honor on
their every feature. They cannot de-
ceive. Long live the handsome De-
vOn!"

RANGE CATTLE BARRED OUT.

Efforts are being made by the stock
men from the west and southwest to
secure modification Of the present
rules which govern cattle exhibits at
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at
st. Louis. The stockmen point out
that under the rules now in force call
ing for pedigreed cattle individual ex-
hibits, "halter-broken" cattle from the
great ranges of the west and south
west will be barred.
Owing to the nature of the ranges
1t Is impossible to secure cattle with
pedigrees, and for the same reason the
entering of individual exhibits will be
a hardship. A delegation of western
range men, headed by Eugene Grub
of Colorado, has been in consultation
with f. d. Coburn, chief of the live
stock department of the st. Louis Ex-
position, attempting to secure a change
in the rules.
In case the mater cannot be adjust
ed to the satisfaction of the western
range men there is possibility that
the protest will be taken to the federal
authorities and an effort made to in
terest Secretary Wilson.

COURT ACCOMMODATIONS.
Committee Held Meeting and Will
 Present Case to Chief Justice.

Attorneys Bronson, Root and Car mody, the committee appointed by Judge Cowell at bar meeting in the district court Saturday morning to draft some measure for presentation to Chief Justice Torrance of the supreme court by which additional superior court accommodations can be given to the large amount of litigation now pending here, held a meeting Tuesday in Mir Roots office. It was decided to have MT Root present the situation to the chief justice, and 1t was admitted that propably no relief may be given until next fall. Still an effort will be made to have Judge Robinson. who Comes here on the third Tuesday in February, to prolong that term of the court to May I. Usually the term closes about the middle of April. The allotment committee of the supreme court will not meet until June, when the work of the superior court judges is distributed, and no definite action can be taken until then, but Chief Jus tice Torrance can, if he deems it neces- sary, have Judge Robinson prolong the spring term or devise some other means to give the desired relief until final action is taken.
