THE CITY OF EAYAHA.
Havana. Jan. I The sovere!gnty of j
Cuba passed from Spain to the ITnited j
States at noon to-day. The form of the j
transfer was simple, consisting ewily of l
an exchange of speeches in tbe salon of
the palace, tbe hauling down of the Sau- '
isb flag and the raising in its stead of the
flsg of the United States on tbe flagstaff1
on tbe palace roof. Salutes were fired
from the heavy guns of the forts aud two
warships l-efore and after the change of
tbe flag. The raising of tLe Stars and
Stripes was greeted with cheers by the
people who covered the roofs of the build
ings around the palace and tse plaza.
Xo crowd was permitted to gather in
the streets in the vicinity of the palace
to witness the epoch-making function.
At 9 o'clock a guard composed of tbo
Second battalion of the Tenth Infantry
marched into tbe Plaza de Armas, under
command of Captain Van Vliet, and
formed around tbe square. Captain Gen
eral Castellanns watched them with in
terest from tbe balcony of his apartments
as they entered the square, and were sta
tioned at all tbe streets approa. hing the
plaza. No one was allowed to enter
without a pass, and all the doors of the
palace facing tbe square were closed
Only those who could get on the roofs
and balconies of houses in tbo neighbor
hood saw what was goiug on before the
palace. With the guard was tbe band
of tbe Second Illinois regiment and the
buglers of the Eighth and Tenth infant
ry. Tbe weather was warm, tbe sun
bursting at intervals through tbe light
clouds, and the wafers in bine, who
were forced to stand - in the sun, found
the beat oppressive. Tbe troops were
formed in extended order around tbe
square, three paces apart, aud the band
was massed in front of tbe palace en
trance across the street, at the edge of
the park.
Brigadier General Clous, master of
ceremonies.at 10:30 o'clock issued instruc
tions to the officers who were to take
charge of the various departments at 12
o'clock. Colonel Dudley was assigned
to the department of justice; Maj. Ij. W.
V. Kennon, adjutant general of the de
partment, to the department of commerce
nd agriculture: Col. T. U. Bliss, of the
commissary department, to tbe treasury ;
Capt. Frank B. Hanna, assistant adjutant
general to tbe department of public in
struction, aud Colonel Dunwoody, of the
signal corps, to tbe public works depart
ment. Each of these officers was in
structed thus : "On the firing of tbe last
gun of the finst 21 at noon yon are to go
to tbo place assigned you and demand
possession of the office in tbe name of the
Uuited States."
These orders were ;fHen under tbe
arcade of tbe palace. Ech officer bad
w ith him a Cuban interpreter, a group of
whom stood by. clad in dark clothes and
wearing siik hats. In a carriage nearby
were the American fl gs which were to
be raised at various points.
At 11:10 Major General Wade and Ma
jor General Butler, of tbe American evac
uation commission, arrived from El Ve
dadoon horseback, accompanied by thrir
stalls, 'they were met bv Brigadier Gen
oral Clouse and Major T. Beutley Mctt,
of General Ludlow's staff. About tbe
same moment Iaicien J. Jerome, British
vice consul, arrived. Ha was warmly
greeted by tbe A merican officers. Major
General John R. Brooke, governor of Cu
ba, aud Major General Ludlow, governor
of the city of Havana, accompanied by
their staffs, arrived at 11: in carriages,
Genral Brooke and General Adna R.
Chaffee, General Brooke's chief of staff,
in tbe first carriage. In each of the other
carriages rode a Cuban general witb Am

AsXhe carriages drove up the Second
company of the Thirty-ighth Spanish
infantry, under command of Colonel Dou

the American band started up with "The
Stars and Stripes Forever," the Spanish
colonel saluting. At 11:45 Major Genera
L"M military Governor of the province ot
Havana, with his staff, joined Geueral
Brooke. The latter then crossed the
street to the palace. Genera Lee on one
side of bim and General Chaffee on the
other, followed by the other American
generals and tbe Cuban officers. The Cu
bans wore dark blue uniforms, brown felt
hats and gray gloves, and they carried
machetes.
A flourish of trumpets greeted the pro
cession, and the Spanish troops prese ted
arms as the Americans entered the palace
The Cubans remained outside until es
orted in by members of General Brooke'
staff, the Spanish soldiery remaining all
tbe while at "present arms." As soon as
all were within, tbe Spanish troop form
eJ in columns of fours and marched
around the right side of tbe plan to the
d cks, while the band of the Second Iili
nois volunteers played the Span isb Royal
march. On entering the palaoe, tbe Am
erican generals went to tbe salon facing
the plaza on the second floor. It is a lofty
chamber decorated with mirrors in deep
gi'.t frames, with satin draperies and tbe
scarlet arms of Spain over each d or and
window. Here were gathered tbe mem.
b rs of the captain general's staff, Colo

Captain General Castellanos was at this
time in a private room off tbe throne
room. He bad given a farewell breakfast
at 1(1 o'clock to his staff, and had spent
the ret of the morning virtually alone,
looking at the Americans from tbe bal
cony. Tbe Americans mw gioupe- them
selves near a large mirror between the
two central windows, the Spanish staff
being ou the right, while on the led were
the American staffs, tbe Cuban generals
and the correspondents. Suddenly Gen

ceremony from tbe left, and greet d Gtn
eral Brooke and others. After fluking
bands. General Brooke eat upon a sofa
while General Castellanos moved toward
the group of Cuban Generals. British
Vice Consul Jerome introduced him to
General Mayia Rodriguez. Shaking both
the hands of the Cuban officer; in tbe
usual Spanish fashion. General Caatella
no said: "We have been enemies, but I
respect you f r your correct attitude and
opinion. I have pleasure In shaking
your hand,"
General Hod riguez replied: I thank
you, general. I feel sorry ftr the Span
ish army, which has defended the banner
it was sworn to defend. I bave also pleas
nre in shaking your hands."
General Castellanos then took his posi
tion near Genetal Brooke. The buzz of
conversation on the American side of the
ehambr contrasted with the silence on
theSpinish side.
At noon the boom of a gun brought all
yes to tbe point in the palace w here stood
tbe captain genera, w ho was talking with
an American officer. Immediately all
was silence. The cap tail general stepped
to the let, taking his position directly in
front or his staff. On bia right stood Cap
lala J. S. Hart, interpreter to tbe United
States military commission. Next to Cap
tain Hart in the order named were Gen
erals Chaffee, Brooke, Ludlow, Lee,
Wade, Butler and Clous. Immediately
behind General Chaffee was Senator John
W. Daniel, of Virginia. At this moment
the band on the plaza was playing the
Spanish national hymn. As the guns at
Cabana fortress ceased firing there was
a breathless pause in the salon. Every
body knew that the American flag was
being raised on tbe staff on tbe roof of
the palaoe by Major Butler, son of Gen
eral Butler, and that the Stars and Strfpes
were going up on all the other cfficl 1 j
staffs In Havana. After this second of:
s.lcnce tbe i.d ou the plaza played 1
"The Star Spangled Banner," while the j
guns of the fleet and fortresses began to
roar out the national saint- of 21 guns.
Immediately General Castellanos banded
the m muscript gf his speech to Captain
Hart and beg n to speak. Amid the
strains of the band and the noise of the
gnus it was impossible to hear him.
"Close the windows," said some one, and
the cfcsements were closed, but the sound
of tbe cheering still visibly disturlied tbe
captair general. ' Addressing himseir to
Major General Wade, president of the
United States military commission,
though be seemed to look at tbe fbor,
Gen. Castellanos said :
"Gentlemen In compliance with the
treaty of Pari, the agre tnent of the mil
itary commissioners of the island and the
t-rders of my king, at this moment of
noon, January 1, lHtO, there erases in
Cuba, Spaulsh sovereignty, ami begins
that of the Uuited States. In conse
quence I declare you In command of the
bland, w ith the object that you may ex
ercise it, declaring to you that I will be
first in respecting It, Peace having been
established between our respective gov
ernments, I promise you to give all due
respect to the United States govern nii!nt,
and I hope that the good relations al
ready existing between our armies will
continue uutil the termination of the
evacuation of those nuder my orders in
this territory."
After Captain Hart had translated the
address, Geueral Wade said to Gmeral
Brooke: "I transfer this command to
you."
Major General Brooke said:
"I accept this great trust In behalfof
the government and President of tbe
United States, and (addressing General
Castellanos), I wish you and the gallant
gentlemen with you a pleasant return to
your native land. May prosperity attend
you aud ail who are with you."
Generals Brooke aud Castellanos then
shook bands, after which General Castel
lanos and staff retired from the tbrono
room, shaking hands w ith Mr. Jerome,
who stood near tbe d'tor of exit. As they
retired there was a movement toward
General Brooke, Brigadier General
Clous shaking bim by the band and say
ing, "Success to you." Generals Brooke
and Chaffee, with others, then stepped
upon the balcony aud looked down upon
the plaza. A big American flag flyb.g
over the arsenal was in full view, and
farther away the Stars and Stripes could
be seen over Cabauas fortress. Mean
while tbe officials of Spain were saying
farewell to their uatiou's seat of power
In the new world. Turning to his officers.
General Castellanos said, with tears In
his eyes:
"Gentlemen, I have been In more bat
tles than I have hairs on my bead, and
my self possession has never failed me
nnlil to-day. Adieu, gentlemen, adieu
Without a word be turned sharply in
the direction of the w harf. History has
revened "The last sign of the Moor,
At tbe dock Geuerals Clous and Chaffee
bade him farewell, and the retiring cap
tain general put off for tbe Spanish trans
port Rapat, on w hich be will proceed to
Malanzas.
The United States commissioners wired
President McKiuley at li-'M that the gov
ernor general of Cuba had formally sur
rendered the government of Cuba and
that th. American tUg bad been hoisted,
Ia rvp.y General Wade, president of the
commission, received the following:'
I congratulate the commission upon
the successful termination of its mission
and the peaceful occupation of Cuba by
the Untied Slates."

with ths crsaniza'.ion of the legisla

Is the tipP1"051 tc,PIc of PPu!ar lnter-

many vl:-iters have had to seek quar

decorated, and there are nveiy scenes
on the leading thoroughfares In ttio
i - . . .. i
tvenirgs. There are laujta K-i ure. m
portraits of csnv'idates sre seen on
every hand. The front of the Lochlel
hotel Is ablaze at night with incandes
cent Ushts. which illuminate a larje
portrait of Senator Quay and trace in
vari-colored letters these words: .
PENNSYLVANIA'S FAVORITE
FOK UNITED STATES SENATOb'.
MATTHEW STANLEY QUAY.
The?e words extend alona; the entire
front of the hotel tn three parallel line.
It la conceded to be one of the nvt
beautiful and artistic pl-ce of decora
tive work wltnesstd in this city. Th-re
is no doubt that the sentiment ef nin'
tenths of the visitors is with Quay.
They have followed his leadership in
btth tbe sta'e and the nation to fuc
cefs f r the Kepublkan party, and tii-y
bave no sympathy with the coterie of
disappointed office seekers lika John
Wanar.iaker and others whe are mak

State Chairman John P. Elkln is here,
and he has no doubt of the re-election

enthusiasm tnd loyalty to their com

The so-called Business Men's League
rf Philadelphia, which is composed
principally of men who sell goods to
John Wanamaki r. or who are otherwise
dependent upon Mm financially, ha
headquarters here, continuing the fight
against Senator Quay. They are tie
same men who opposed Boles Penrose
for United States senator, who opposed
Colonel Stone for the nomination for
governor and then, in order to defeat

courage, and the more timid backed

THAT WANAMAKEP. "ADV."
The members of the legislature from
the rural counties have been deluged
with certain newspapers from Phila
delphia containing adverse criticism
t.n the candidacy of Senator Quay. The
following letter, received by P.vpubli
rans in charge of Senator Quay's h-ad-riuarters
from Representative I.card. of
Indiana county, explains it.lf :
"Gentlemen: I have been gcttlnc
ropies of Philadelphia daily papers sent

soldiers here, said:
"When the Republican stat" ticket
and a large majority of the mentors of
the senate and huue were elected in
November, the election of Quay to suc
ceed himself as United States senator
was assured.
"The opponents of Senator Quay dur
ing the campaign declared that the suc

by the enemy and accepted by the
friends of the senator. The victory was
so decisive that the ranks of the oppo
