a proclamation to the Inhabitants ot
the Island of Cuba, giving In detail the
program agreed upon for the evacua
tion by the Spanish troops on Sunday
next. The proclamation, which Is sign
ed by Major Generals Wade and But
ler and BrlRudler General Clous, then
proceeds:
"Tho undersigned rtpslre. In this pub
lic manner, to Impress and enjoin upon
all the people of the Island the necessity
for strict compliance with the terms of
this agreement, to the end that public
order and duo respect for the gravity
ot the occasion may prevail, and es

ple to exercise self restraint and mod
eration and refrain from giving; cause
of offense or Irritation and from the
exhibition of excitement, undue mani
festation of feeling, or from doing any
act calculated to produce Irritation or
bad feeling.
"For nearly four months this com
mission and other officials of the Uni
ted States have been under the protec
tion of the Spanish authority. They
have extended to us the most scrupu
lous courtesy and consideration, and
not one unpleasant Incident has marred
our sojourn in their midst, and now
that our positions are soon to be re
versed, and they are to become our
guests and entitled to our protection,
we must see to It that they enjoy tho
same brijmunlty and consideration. The
nest interests or an classes, (juDans,
Spaniards and Americans, will be
thereby subserved Any violation of
the terms and ptovlslons of this agree
ment will be resented, and offenders
brought promptly to Justice. The pre
servation of peace, the surety to per
sons and property and tho establlsh
njent and maintenance of government
are indespenslhle to the welfare and
happiness of the people. We, therefore,
confidently Invoke the aid and co
operation of the inhabitants In ac
complishing- these ends."

Havana, Dec. 27. Francisco Quln
tero. a Spanish guerilla, while walking
along fJcnlous street yesterday, was
fired at from the roof of a house and
seriously wounded. During the last 21
hours one man has been killed and 12
have been wounded In affrays In dif
ferent parts of the city and 11 burglar
ies have been committed. The city Is in
a state of unrest.
Yesterday a Cuban mob threatened
to attack the residence of Marquis De
Montoro, secretary of the treasury In
the Autonomist cabinet apd a member
of the Spanish evacuation commission.
The house Is 193 Neptune street, In a
part of the city already evacuated. On
the matter being brought to the atten
tion of the United States evacuation
commissioners a guard of regulars was
sent toward the residence until further
Olders.
Some disturbances having occurred
In San I.azare street, and a Spanish
store there having been Backed by the
Cubans, the United States commission
ers have sent a staff officer, with a de
tachment of troops, to the scene of
disorder. The Eighth and Tenth regu
lar Infantry regiments are encamped
near the Hotel Trocha, the headquar
ters of the Americans at El Vedado.
A party of colored Cubans yesterday
morning entered the wholesale grocery
establishment at 113 San Jose street,
owned by the Spanish firm of Mestro &
Mata, and ordered Senor Mestro to
kiss the Cuban tlag and to cry "Viva
Cuba I. Hire." He refused to obey,
thereupon one of the Cubans cut his
hPinl b.nlly with a mnehete.
Tli t-pmilfh rocps are evacuating
the city so rapidly that It Is almost Im
possible for the Americans to provide
promptly for the preservation of peace.
Rioting began nt Monserrate last
night. A battalion of Spanish troops
hurried to nullano street, the dividing
line between Cuban and Spanish terri
tory, and order was restored, but In the
firing before the troops arrived an 8-yea"r-old
Cuban child was killed by a
stray bullet.
Spanish ti-nltory In the new world is

between Havana harbor and Galluno
street. The Hairs of Cuba and theUnlted
S:ntes arc waving within two blocks of
tl - I'rado.n greut buu'.evui-d which runs
through the center of Havana.
Moii.! . ale liuviuu been evacuated,
the place was alive yesterday with
Cubans and people from the United
States. Tin- scenes enacted at Cerroand
Vedado last week and at Jesus Del
Monte Sunday were repeated at Monser
rate. Theie was even n greater dem
