Farewell of Castellanos Several Cuban
Generals Took Part in the. Cere
moniesGeneral Brooke's Reception.
IJarana, Jan. 8. The eovereignty ot
Cuba passed Jrom Spain to the United
States at noon Sunday.
The form of the transfer was simple,
consisting of only an exchange of
penohes in the salon of the palace, the
hauling down of the Spanish flat; and
the raising in its stead of the flag of
the United States on the flagstaffs on
the palace roof. Salutes were fired
from the heavy guns of the forts and
the warships before and after the
change of flags. The raising of tha
Stars and Stripes was greeted with
cheeis by the people, who covered the
roofs of the buildings arouud the palaoe
and plaza. . '
Iio crowd was permitted to gather in
the streets in the vicinity of the palace
to witness the epoch-making funotion.
At 9 o'clock, a guard, composed of the
Second battalion of the Tenth infantry,
marched into the Plaza de Armas, un
der command of Captain Van Vleet,
and formed around the square. Cap
tain-General Castellanos watched them
with interest from the baloony of his
apartments as they entered the square
and were Btationed at all the streets
approaching the plaza. No one was al
lowed to enter without a pass, and all
the doors of the palace facing the
square were ordered to be closed. Only
those who could get on tha roofs and
balconies of houses in the neighborhood
saw what was going on betore tne
palace.
With the guard was the band of the
Second Illinois regiment, which had
been selected for the occasion as the
best band in the Seventh army corps
With the band were the buglers ol the
Eighth and Tenth infantry.
The weather was warm, tne sun
bursting at intervals through the light
clouds, and the soldiers in blue, who
were forced to stand in the sun, found
the heat oppressive. "The troops were
formed in extended order around the
square, three paces apart, and the band
was massed in front of the palace en
trance aoross the street at the edge of
the park.
At 11:55, Major-Genial Lee, military
governor ol the province or Havana,
with his staff, joined General Brooke.
The latter then crossed the street to the
palaoe, General Lee on one side of
him, and General Chaffee on the othen,
followed by the other American gen
erals and the Cuban officers. The Cu
bans wore dark blue uniforms, brown
felt hits and gray gloves, and they car
ried machetes.
A flourish of trumpets greeted the
procession and the Spanish troops pre
sented arms as the Americans entered
the palace. The Cubans remained out
side until -escorted in by members of
General Brooke's staff, the Spanish so)
diery retmaning all the while at pre
sent arms."
As soon as all were in, the Spanish
troops formed a oolumn of fours and
marched around the right side of the
plaza to the docks, while the band of
the Second Illinois volunteers played
the Spanish loval march.
As Captain-General Castellanos was
escorted to the wharf to take his de
parture the band played the Spanish
royal march. General Castellanos
thanked the generals accompanying
him and as he stepped into the launoli
he wept. Crowds of Spaniards all
dressed in black, gathered upon the sea
wall and silently watched the fleet pass
out. Men and women wept together,

The Old Year Goef Out With Bualneea
Booming.
New York, Jan, 2. Bradstreet's
says: Concisely stated, the reports re
ceived aB to the year's business in all
sections of the country point to an un
precedented volume of domestic and
exoprt trade, which is reflected in bank
clearances that break the high record
of 189.1. The general level of piioes of
itaple securities at t the close of the
year is at the highest point reached tor
ve years past. Railroad earnings ex
ceed all previous years, and finally
there was a small number of failures,
and lower liaibilties than reported in
ny year for at least five years past.
These gen. ral results in the country at
arge have been achieved, too, notwith
standing the' outbreak and conclusion
of a foreign war, and in spite, also, of
n favorable conditions in some indus
tries, notably textile manufactures,
lich, combined with unfavorable
eather early in the year, and the
lowest price for ootton on record, exer
cised an unfavorable influence. . "
But the close of the year finds an im
provement even in these directions, and
returns as to retail trade and particu-
arly holiday business, are strikingly
good in all sections. Bast reports as
distributive trade naturally come
from the graingrowing sections of the
oountry, which were, the first to meet
an improvement resulting from free
foreign demand for our oereals, but in
dications are not wanting that this im
provement is gradnlally percolating
throughout the entire business com
munity, and ooupled with the unpreoe-
ented export trade in manufactured
goods, and the fact that we are selling
$2 worth abroad for every dollar's worth
we buy, renders possible the gains re
ported in distributive trade of 1808
over 1897, ranging from 10 to 40 per
cent, with likewise good exports from
the manutcturing centers, excepting
the textile industrries already mentioned.
The export trade of the country for
the year, as above intimated, is the
heaviest ever known, and will probably
exceed $ 1.250,000 in value, thus being
nearly double the imports. . Our ex
port trade in manufactured goods, it
must be observed, is the heaviest ever
known, and for the first time in
pur country's history exceeded the value
of imports of similar goods.
There were 11,538 failures in the
United States in 1888, involving liabil
ities of $141,137,117, a decrease from
1897 in number of 11.2 per cent, and
in liabilities of 9.5 per cent. Com
pared with 1896 and 1895, the propor
tion of decrease shown is even larger,
as compared with 1896, failures were
fewer by 25 per cent, and liabilities
smaller by 64 per cent. Decreases are
also shown when oompared with 1891,
year of large trade, but ot numerous
and costly failures; but com
pared with 1892 there is an increase
shown of 13 per cent in number, and
20 per cent in liabilities.-

Another Awful Calamity Occurred at
Hankow.
Victoria, B. C, Jan. 8. The steam
ers Victoria and Yaraaguchi Alaru have
arrived with news from the Oiient up
to December 15.
Another serious calamity, writes the
Hankow correspondent of the North
China Daily News, has befallen the
people of Hankow; about 10,000 of the
inhabitants have met death by drown-
ng. About noon December 3 half the
storehouses extending along the edge of
the river Han suddenly broke away and
tumbled into the water on top of all
the boats there. The houses and boats,
with all the people In them, dis
appeared in a moment. About 100
buildings and the same number of
boats are gone.
News comes of more murders of mis
sionaries. The Japanese Herald says
an English missionary has been mur-
deied by natives and soldiers at Tsing
Ping. A French missionary has been
burned to death at Swatow, and a Ger
man missionary has been mortally in
jured in Shan Tung. The murder of
an American missionary, Mrs. Butter
field, of Central China, is reported.
Advices state that since the attack
on the Kussiiui troops at Andijan some
time back, discontent and dissatisfac
tion have been rife throughout the
province. This feeling has asumed
such proportions that the Russian au
thorities have already strengthened
their garrisons. They have, moreover,
occupied the larger villages in force,
and superseded the civil by a military
administration. Not more than 200 or
800 fanatics were engaged in the attack
on the Rusians, yet more than 1,200
men were arrested on suspicion and
flogged in order to extort information.
Not only were the aotual malefactors
punished, but their relatives of all de
grees were also imprisoned. In addi
tions this, a fine of 800,000 roubles
has been inflicted on the district.

for tlie entire fiscal year, and 1897,
when they amountedto$490,684,010.

Seaside, Or., Jan. 2. The burning
of the Fulton cottage, at this place,'
last Wednesday morning, oulminated
this afternoon in the bloodiest tragedy
in the history of this county, as a re
sult of which three' men are cold in
death and one other is badly wounded.
The dead are: '!- !
Sheriff J. W. Williams, Deputy
Sheriff James Lainers and Charles Wil
lard. , . . -
Deputy Sheriff A; E. Miller was
shot in the leg. ";
lt was considered 1 certain by every
one that the burning of the oottage was
for the purpose of concealing a rob
bery, and suspicion pointed to 'Charles
Willard as the guilty person, particu
larly as he was seen a short time after
the fire coming from the locality with
a wheelbarrow load of goods.
Aoting on the suspicion then aroused
Sheriff Williams this morning secured
a search warrant, and in company with
Senator C. W. Fulton and others, went
to Seaside to search Wi Hard's prem
ises, aud also all the cottages of which
he had charge during the winter season.
About 3 o'clock this afternoon, Sher
iff Williams, Senator Fulton and Dep
uties A. E Miller and James Luiners,
the two latter being residents of Sea
side, went to the cottage of Mia. Susie
Lewinton, where Willaid wns living,
to searoh it.
On rapping at the door they were
answered immediately by Willaid,
who told them to wait until he dressed,
but from subsequent events it is certain
he wanted time to get his guns teady
for action. After a few moments he
opened the door, and on being told
what was wanted, told the sheriff, in a
polite manner, that he was welcome to
search any of the residences in his
charge.
Leaving Fulton, Laniers and the
sheriff in the house, he picked np his
rifle, and telling Miller to follow him,
he started for John L. Carlson's oott tge
which he had in charge, and which he
said some one had endeavored lo break
into. There they were soon afterwards
joined bv Williams and Fulton. The
latter asked Willard to come back to
the Lewiston cottage. He made no
ohjection.
It was on renting the cottage the
second time that the tragedy occurred.
Senator Fulton had identified some
shotgun cartridges in the house as be
longing to him, and began questioning
Willard as to where he got possession
of them. This nettled Willard, al
though he answered that a friend had
given them to him, aud he began to get
ugly-
Fulton and Miller went inside the
cottage, leaving Willard, Sheriff Wil
liams and Lamers standing ouMde.
They had just proceeded to the rear
room when two shots were heard in
quiok suooession, and on running to
he door, Sheriff Williams was seen to
throw up his hands and fall backwards
over the bank. In front of the house
were Willard and Lamers, in a desper
ate hand-to hand struggle, although
the latter had been shot through the
right groin and was fast growing faint,
and his assailant was fighting with tne
desperation of a demon. Fulton sprang
at Willard's head, and pulling him to
the ground jumped on his face. Miller
wrenched the rifle from his hand, threw
it on the ground, and taking out his
I revolver beat the desperado over the
head.
Senator Fulton, in the meantime,
picked up the rifle and told Willard to
remain quiet, or he would kill him.
The latter, however, watched his op.
portunity, and jumping to his feet
started to run away, when Fulton fired,
missing him the first time, but strik
ing him in the face the second time,
carrying away the greater poition ol
his mouth and nose.v Willard fell, ap
parently dead, and Fulton started lo
obtain help to oaiefor the injured men,
leaving Miller on guard with the title
in hand. Miller stepped back to aid
Lamers, who was lying on the ground
desperately wounded, when Willard
was noticed to be fumbling with hit
belt. Quicker than a flash he drew a
revolver and fired three bullets, tl
first one hitting Miller in the left leg,
just below the iiip. MilUr returned
the fire with the rifle, the first bullet
inflicting a flesh wound in Willard
shoulder, and the second hitting him
in the left side, near the groin, killing
bim instantly.
By this time help had arrived, and
an examination was made of the in
jured men. Sheriff Williams wa
found to have been shot through the
right breast, and although his pulse
was beating feebly when examined, he
showed no further signs of life. La
mers was shot in the right groin, and
he lived about 80 minutes after being
removed to Grimes' hotel. Miller, the
other deputy, was wounded in the leg,
but his wound is not ol a serious na
ture.
