By Aoclntcd Pres to tlio Jouvnnl.
Havana, Jan. 2. The sovereignty
of. Cuba passed from Spain to the
United State) at noon Sunday.
The form of the transfet wan simple,
consisting of only an exchange of
speeches In the ealoon of the palace,
the hauling dono of the Spanish ling
und Uio raising In Its stead of the
United States on the flagstaff on the
palace roof. Salutes Jwero fired from
the heavy guns of the forts and tho
warships before and after tho change
of flags. Tho raising of the Stars and
Stripes was greeted with cheers by
the people, who covered tho roofs of
tho buildings around tho palace and
plaza.
No crowd was permitted to gather
in streets In the ylclulty of palace to
witness tho epoch making function.
At. 0 o'clock, a guard, composed of tho
Second battalion of the Tenth In
fantry, marched Into the Plaza do
Armas, under command of Cnptuln
Van Vlcot, and formed around tho
square. Captulu-Gcncral Custellunos
watched them with Interest from the
balcony of his apartments as thoy
entered the bquare ilnrl were stationed
at all the streets approaching the
plaza. No one waB allowed to enter
without a paBB, and all the doors of
the palace facing the square were
ordered to bo closed, Only those
who could get on the roofs und bul-
conlcs of houses In tho neighborhood
saw what was going on before the
palace.
With the guard was the baud of tho
Socond Illinois regiment, which had
been selected for tho occasion as the
best band In tho Seventh army corps.
With the band were tho buglers of tho
Eighth and Tenth Infantry.
Tho weather was wurm, tho sun
bursting at Intervals through tho
light clouds, and tho soldiers In blue,
who were forced to stand In the sun,
found tho heat oppressive The troops
were formed In extended order around
tho square, three paces apart, and tho
band was massed In front of tho
palace entrance across the street.
At noon the band of the plaza wus
playing tho Spanish anthem. As
the guns at Cabanas fortress ccaBed
tiring, there was a breathless pause in
the salon, Everybody knew that tLe
American flag was being raised on the
palace by Major Butler, son of
General Butler, and that the Stars
and Stripes wore going upon all the
other otlloial staffs In Havana. After
this second of silence, tho band on
tho pluza played '-The Stur Spangled
Banner," while tho guns of tho fleet
and fortress began to roar out the
national salute or 21 guns.
Immediately Captain-General CastPl
lanos handed the manuscript of his
speech to Captain Hurt and began to
speak. Amid the6tralns of tho bat d
and tho noise of the guns It was im
possible to hear him. "Close the wind
ows," said somo one. and tho case
ments were closed, unt the sound nf
cheorlug etlll ylslbly dlstusbed the
captlan-gcneral.
Addressing himself to Mujor-Gen-eral
Wade, president of tho United
States military commission, though
he seemed to look to the floor, General
Custellanos said.
"Gentlemen: In compliance with
the treaty of Paris, tho agreement or
the military commissioners of the
Island and the orders of my king, at
this momsQtof noon, January 1, 1899,
there ceases In Cuba Spanish sover
eignty and begins that or tho United
States. In consequence I declare you
la command of the Island, wltu tne
object that you may exerclsolt, de
claring to you that, I wlllbetue first
In respecting It. Peace having bmn
established between our respective
governments, I promise you togjvo
all due respect to the United Stales
government and hope that tho good
relations already existing botween our
countries will continue until tho ter
mination of the evacuation of th6se
under my orders In this territory. "
After Captuln Hart had translated
tho address, Goneral Wade said to
General Broeke:
"1 transfer this command
i
to yous"
Mujor-Gencral Brooko said: .
"1 accept this great trust In behalf
of tho government and prcsldcnt'bf
tho United States, and (addressing
Captain-General Oastollanos) I wish
you and the gallant gentlemen with
you a pleasant return to your native
and. May prosperity attend you and
all who arc with you." JS

General Otis Silent at

Natives Expected to Quiet Down in
Near Future,
Mr AMoolnted Frea to the Journal.
Washington, Jun,. 2. Nothing has
been heard from Otis at Manila since
tho cablegram yesterday. Tho situa
tion Is Irritating, according to the
experience of the last few days, It Is
not to be cxpectc 1 that anything more
can be heard from Illoilo for
a day or two except In tho Improbable
ovent tint the American forco has
been repulsed In Its efforts to make
a lauding and obliged to return to
Manila.
It Is surmised that Gen. Miller Is
proceeding with mure tact and less
roughness In his dealings with the
Insurgents then appeared from the
first Inspection of reports.
His purpose Is apparently to uvold
such recognition of Insurgents us
might tend to cmbarass the United
States government hereafter, but at
tho same time not to dcul harshly
with them tr they can be brought to
sco'-aho rectitude of his Intentions,
Therefore ofllcluls aro or opinion that
will be no actual hostilities between
the forces, hut that at worst the In
surgents will retire from the .i
without accepting or reacting tho
American overtures until they have
heard from Aguinuldo. Although tho
oUleluls profess a strong belief that no
serious trouble Mill occur, they have
taken the precaution to expedite the
dispatch of military reinforcements
to Otis.
