The ceremony of transfer was sim
pie, consisting only of an exchange of
speeches in the saloon of the Palace
the hauling down of the Spanish dug
and the raising in its stead of thi flujt
of i!h United States on the flagstaff
on the Palace roof. Salutes jvere
fired from I he heavy guns of the forts
and the warships before and after the
change of flags. The raising of the
Stars and Stripes was greeted with
cheers by the people who coveted the
loofsof the buildiugi around the Pal-
ac aud the plaza.
No crowd was permitted to gather
in the streets in lha vicinity of the
Palace to witness the epoch-making
function. At 9 o'clock a guard, com
pued of the Second Battalion, of the
Tenth Infuntrr marched into the
Plaza de Armas under command of
Captain Van Vliet and formed
around the square. Captain General
Castellanos watched them with inter
est from the balcony of his apart
ments as they entered the square and
wi re stationed at all the streets tp
prnaching the plaza- No one was al
lowed to enter without a pass aud all
the doors of the palace facing the
square were ordered to be closed.
Only those who could get ou the
roots and balconies of the houses in
the neighborhood saw what was going
on before the Palace.
Brigadier General Clous, the mas
ter of ceremonies of the Day, at 10:30
o'clock issued instructions to the of
ficers who were to take charge of the
various departments of the Govern
tuent at 12 o'clock.
Each of these officers was instruc
ted thus: "On the fiirog of the last
gun of the first Ueiityone a. noon
you are to go to the place assigned
you and demand possessions of the
office in the name of the United
States"
At the proper time each man took
his place and General Castellanos,tlie
Spnu sh Commander of the island,
said :
"Gentlemen: Iii coroplieuce with

In conclusion, I declare you in com

I promise you to give all due respect

The Explanation.
In a report to the State Depart
meni, Commercial Agent Steru, at
Bamberg, pndicts that the United
States will soon surpass England in
the value of exports of machinery to
Germany.
The present year shows even a fall
ing off in the case of Eugland, while
the imports of American machines
show an inrreaie of 75 per cent, over
lust year's figures. In 1815 the im
ports of the United States of these
goods into Germany did not amount
to the sixth ;art of the amount of the
English imports, while today they
are equal to GO per cent, of the latter
This increase is due uot so much t
price as to quality. Ac American
made machine is recognized as the
best the world over. Tho explana
tion is ready and simple. It it found
in what the London Times calls "in
telligent labor highly paid " Iu oth
er words, the fruits of Protection.
The p ople of this county had a

(Special Corrnpondenee )
Harrlsbur. Jan. I -Naturally the
United States senatorial contest, which
with the organization of the leglsla
ture has brought thousands to this city,
la the uppermost topic ot popular Inter
est. All the hotels are crowded, and
many visitors have had to seek quar
ters In private residences. The princi
pal headquarters are all beautifully
decorated, and thera are lively scenes
on the leading thoroughfares In the
evenings. There are badges galore, and
portraits of candidates are seen on
svery hand. The front of the Lochlel
hotel Is ablaze at night with Incandes
cent lights, "which Illuminate n large
portrait of Senator Quay and trace In
varl-colored letters these words:
PENNSYLVANIA'S FAVORITE
FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR.
MATTHEW STANLEY QUAY.
These words extend along the entire
front of the hotel In three parallel lines.
It Is conceded to be one of the most
beautiful and artistic piece of decora
tive work witnessed In this city There
Is no doubt that the sentiment of nine
tenths of the visitors Is with Quay.
They have followed his leadership In
both the state and the nation to suc
cess for the Republican party, and they
have no sympathy with the coterie of
disappointed olllce seekers like John
Wanamaker and others who are mak
ing this attack upon him. Republican
State Chairman John P. Elkln Is here,
and he has no doubt of the re-election
rt Senator Quay. There is a big dele
gation of old soldiers, many of whom
served In Colonel Quay's own regiment,
who are here In their veterans' uni
form of blue and their breasts deco
rated with medals. They have a brass
band, and there Is no mistaking their
enthusiasm and loyalty to their com
rade. Colonel Quay.
The so-called Business Men's League
of Philadelphia, which Is composed
principally of men who sell goods to
John Wanamaker, or who are otherwise
dependent upon him financially, has
headquarters here, continuing the fight
against Senator Quay. They are the
same men who opposed Boles Penrose
fcr United States senator, who opposed
Colonel Stone for the nomination for
governor and then, In order to defeat
him, helped Jenks, where they had the
ourage, and the mor timid backed
Swallow. They are no. cutting much
cf a figure In this great throng of stal
wart Republicans.
THAT WANAMAKER "ADV."
The members of the legislature from
the rural counties have been deluged
with certain newspapers from Phila
delphia containing adverse criticisms
on the candidacy ot Senator Quay. The
following letter, received by Republi
cans In charge of Senator Quay's head
quarters from Representative Leard, of
Indiana county, explains itself:
"Gentlemen: I have been getting
copies ot Philadelphia dally papers sent
to me containing marked articles
against Quay, Stone, Elkin and others,
with pages 13 to 16 torn oft. I suppose
these pages contain Wanamaker adver
tisements, and cannot fall to note that I
these same pacers did their utmost to
defeat Colonel Stone before he was
nominated, then Joined with our Demo
cratic friends In attempting to defeat
him at the November election. I am
not the kind of Republican that sym
pathizes with abuse made by the ene
mies of the Republican parly.
"Yours truly,
(Signed) "M. K. LEARD."
Major Isaac B. Brown, who Is one of
the ardent Quay supporters among the
soldiers here, said:
"When the Republican state ticket
nd a large majority of the members of
the senate and house 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
cess of Colonel Stone and the Republi
can ticket meant the re-election of Sen
ator Quay. This was the issue made
by the enemy and accepted by the
friends of the senator. The victory was
so decisive that the ranks of the oppo-
Itlon have now reformed their lines.
There are only fragments left of the
opposition, and they can't possibly rally
their men or concentrate them on any
candidate. Senator Quay will surely
be re-elected The leaders of the Re
publican party are In harmony and will
work" for the advancement of the party
and make it conserve the Interests of
the people of Pennsylvania. There Is
no room for the malcontents, and cer-
alnly those who went Into the camp
of the enemy will not now be allowed
to say who the next Republican sen
ator will be. Quay's election Is a cer
tainty."
General James W. Latta, another dis
tinguished war veteran, said: "The
best estimation of worth Is to be found
among those who are a man's every
day associates. If he has been a close
student, a good soldier or a great states
man, his companions at school, his
comrades In arms and his colleagues
In the senate are the best to bear testi
mony. Such proofs are abundant that
Matthew Stanley Quay was a scholar
In youth and Is a riper one In manhood,
a soldier of exceptional merit and ft
statesman of unusual strength. If the
legislature Becks to reward faithful and
Intelligent public services, desires to
recognize the masterful hand that has
more than once In critical times main
tained the supremacy of Republican or
ganization, and prefers to be represent
ed by a man skillful, scholarly and
strong with his fellows, they will re
turn Colonel Quay to the United States
senate as his own successor."
Senator Mitchell, of Jefferson county,
who has a splendid war record, la one
of Senator Quay's active supporters.
He Is here In charge cf headquarters.
In speaking on the senatorial situation
he said:
"My position on the senatorial ques
tion Is well understood. I am, and al
ways have been, a political friend of
the senior senator. I favor his re-election
because I believe that he Is In a
posdtlon to better represent Pennsylva
nia than any other person. Senator
Quay will surely win the senatorial
f:ht next week, because his friends are
In a large majority in this legislature.
The people have passed on the sena
torial succession and have rendered a
verdict in his favor. In many counties
ot the -state he submitted his name
to a popular vote, and In all except one
i at. H-siiuuia
now tojoy the fruits of his victory. Tne
fact Is that he has no formldaMe can
didate arrayed against htm. .His en
emies have been traveling over the
state to urge Republicans to enter the
Held, but have failed In almost every
Instance."
AMERICANS FOR FAIR PLAT.
Asked what effect the criminal pros
ecutions Instituted against Senator
Quay would have on his re-election.
Senator Mitchell replied: "They have
helped more than hurt him. The people
believe that they are persecutions and
not prosecutions. The enemies of Sena
tor Quay, having failed In open polit
ical battle, now undertake to besmirch
his name by dragging him Into- the
criminal courts. The people look upon
It as a political conspiracy, and the
American sense of fair play Is asserting
Itself. We are receiving letters from
all parts of the state declaring In favor
of Senator Quay on account of the un
fairness of these criminal prosecutions."

lican legislators here, UK) participated in

of Pittsburg, ex-Republican National
chairman, 9 votos, and Senator Magee, of
Pittsburg, 2 votes. Tho 84 Who remained
