VOL. V. NEW REPUPLIC BORN Long Cherished Dream of Cubans i Is at list Realize! OU 8L0RV IS HAULED DOWN President Palma Inaugurated With Simple Ceremonies and Island is Formally Given in Charge of the Cubans, At Havana Tuesday Senor Palm* at¬ tached his signature to a document as president of the Cuban republic, after an exchange of congratulations, and the vetersa general, Gomez, Ascended to the root of the palace, where he was accorded a great reception. General Wood personally lowered the American colors, which were sa¬ luted, and with his own hands hoisted the Cuban flag, as an act of the Uuited States, Gomez assisting. At the time the transfer took place in Ha vim a, Ge- 'ral Whiteside, at San¬ tiago, turned over his authority to his Cuban successor and sailed away with the American cavalry which had been In garrison there. General Wood and his staff and the .American troop, embarked immedi¬ ately after the hoisting of the Cuban flag, and the American ships steamed out of the harbor. All Nature Smiles. ^ The natal day of Cuba found Havana arrayed like a queen to await the com¬ ing of her lord. She seemed reinvest¬ ed for the occasion with the dignity of the prosperous days of her pow^r and wealth. The decorations were universal. There was not a residence, pretentious or humble that did not bear upon its quaint facade some emblem in honor of the event. The many arches erect¬ ed at the entrance of plazas by polit¬ ical societies, fraternal clubs, resi¬ dences and business organizations had an air of real grandeur, t The whole city seemed suddenly ihuried beneath a forest of waiving banners. The decorations along the water front were exceedingly lavish and all the shipping in the harbor was dressed Sn gala attire. The majority of the ships flew the American ensign at the main and the Cuban colors at the lore or mizzen. The United States armored cruiser Brooklyn, which was to take General Wood away, and the steamer Moro Cast’e, of the Ward line, on which the troops were to em¬ bark, as ■well as the foreign warships which had been sent by their govern¬ ments to be present at the birth of the new republic, were dressed with streams of signal flags fore and aft, man of war fashion. The American colors which were to be hauled down 3n a few hours, still floated above the grim wails of the fortresses which 'guard the entrance of the harbor. Not another bit of color showed upon them. Much curiosity was aroused by a statute of freedom which had been raised during the night in Central park, upon the pedastal where, for eetnries, a statute of Queen Isabella bad stood. During the morning a .bountiful breakfast was given to sever¬ al thousand poor children by Mrs-. Paine, of Boston, who, has passed the winter in Havana for many years. ; ^The actual transfer of the control rof the island was scheduled to occur exactly at noon, Havana time, which is 12:30 p. m., Washington time, but those- invited to witness the ceremony were requested to be at the palace at 11:30 a. m. They included besides the American officers and the members of President-Elect Palma’s cabinet, the members of congress, the supreme court judges, the governors of the provinces, the officers of the visiting warships, the foreign consuls, 'William Jennings Bryan, the other visiting American statesmen, several of Sen*r Palma’s Fauna s Central ventral Valiev \ alley (N (n.

A special from Dallas. Texas, says: Tuesday was the most sensational and interesting session of the Methodist conference since its opening The war claim matter was ttlftde the special or¬ der of the and the debate has been long fctid heated. It required an extra session to dispose of the questions. The strongest men of the conference were brbrtgM to the fore, and Dallas was treated to a display of forensic oratory. As predicted, tht> conserva¬ tives have Von a decisive victory. The eo’h'fereace has decided on tile fol¬ lowing action by fifty majority: 1. To condemn and repudiate the ac¬ tion of its agents. 2. To hold the mofiey until the sen ate of the UiitFd States should, by af¬ firmative action, declare the passage of the bill ordering its payment was due to the misleading statement of its agents. 3. To ratify the aotlou of ifs bishops in conditionally returning the money and pledging itself to redeem the promise, should congress so require. The minority fought every inch of ground before their defeat. The feeling now is one of general satisfaction that the vexed question is settled, and the general sentiment is that the wisest solution of the prob¬ lem has been reached. A few predict d a disastrous effect upon the church at large from the action of th'o eon ference, but these regarded as prophet* of evil. The attendance was the largest since tho conference convened. There was plenty of life to the debate, but it lacked acrimony which had Feeh ex¬ pected. fr-.i' T-irr 1 : Astor Chanier, and a few other spe¬ cially invited.guests. Ceremonies Were Simple, The ceremony itself was brief and simple. After formal greetings Gen¬ eral Wood read the documentary trans¬ fer prepared by the war department, pledging the new government to im¬ mediately proclaim the constitution and the Platt amendment contained In the appendix and to undertake all obli¬ gations assumed by the United States, with respect to Cuba, by the treaty of Paris. General Wood also delivered the following letter: “White House, Washington, May 10, 1902.—To the President and Congress of the Republic of Cuba.—Sirs: On the 20th of this month the military gover¬ nor of Cuba will, by my direction, transfer to you the control and govern¬ ment of the island of Cuba, to be thenceforth exercised under the pro¬ visions of the constitution adopted by your constitutional convention As oh that day promulgated, and he will thereupon declare the occupation of Cuba by the United States to be at an end. "At the same time I desire to ex¬ press to you the sincere friendship and .good wishes of the United States and our most earnest hopes for the stabil¬ ity and success of your, government, for tho blessings of peace, justice, prosperity and ordered freedom among your people, and for enduring friend¬ ship between the republic of the Uni¬ ted States and the repubtic of Cuba.
