General Thomas Estrada Palma, president-elect of the Cuban republic, who arrived on the stfiamfet Admiral Farragut, front Old Point Comfort, Va„ was greeted, says a Gibam, Cubit, dis patch to tho York Tribune, with gfeat enthusiasm. Gibara’s popula tion of 6,000 was augmented by as many more who came from all parts of the island, from Havana to Santia go, to pay homage to a manly love, When the steamer pdiortid ill Gilla l-a Hat'l)di\ a sallite of 31 guns greeted General Falnta. His facte hriahteiied at the scene boi’crt lilm. How differ ent Vfas his return to Cuba. He left in chains and came back with his path literally strewn with roses. The har bor was a kaleidoscope of color fthrt animation. From every gWlft flew the flag of fillba iibre and the stars and Ltripes. Old friends who had known General Palma in the ten years’ war and had shared with him the hardships and sufferings of many campaigns, came on board and embraced him. Many were in {tears; The VefcStei WAS knob cHJWtiiMl with members of com mittees, representing different cities, who came out itt steamers ahd launches which were decorated from fib01 to stern, from the mast to the water line, After a quarter of an hour of infor mal talk, Genera! Palma and his party were taken ashore in a launch. It wa* when he put his foot on the pier that the pent up enthusiasm of his compa triots broke forth 111 earfteSt. 'ThSPfe Were rounds of cheers by the natives, M- dent-elect ibny crowded around their. presi which could h*ve been heard across the biy. Mayor CesptetibS spokte a few wbhds woltetime; and then proposed “three cheers for the first president of th» Cuban republic.” They were given with a will. With the village band playing the Cuban hymn, a procession was formed to the principal street, whence the president-elect and members of the committee were drawn in a carriage by a score of stnhvart Cubans to the city hall. Every place of vantage along the route was filled. Men, wo men and children crowded and pushed to embrace and shake the bands of this veteran. Arches had been built across every street which led to the city hall. Not a house in all Gibara was without dec oration in some form. From every one flew the flag of Cuba, and from al most of many were displayed tho flag of the United States. While the red and yellow colors of Spain were con spicuous on the Spanish houses. The Spaniards joined in the welcome.. The ceremonies at the city hall con sisted of speech making by the mayor, members of the council, General Pal ma and Gonzales de Quesada. Mayor Cespedes spoke eloquently of the grat itude that the Cuban people owed to General Palma, and the honor of being the first to receive the first chief ex ecutive of Cuba libre. His country men, he said, trusted General Palms implicitly and would aid him in every way toward a successful administra tion of his office. General Palma, in responding, spoke with some difficulty, as he was almost overcome by the reception given him. He began by proposing cheers for Cu ban libre and for the United States. He said the Cuban people should, with the inauguration of their independent government, abandon politics and give their attention to the betterment and of their country. It was his ambition to bring the various ale together, so that they may all to one end, the building up of He promised to devote hence all his time, knowledge and ener to bringing about this result. The mayor then granted him tha of the city.
