A NATION’S BIKTHji American Flat; Comes Down, Cuban Flats Goes Up. Havana, 21.—Tomas Estrada Palma was inaugurated president of the Republic of Cuba yesterday, and the United States government with’ drew from the island. The ceremony itself was brief am 1 , simple. After formal greetings General Wood read the documentary transfer prepared by the war department, pledging the new government immediately to proclaim the constitution and the Platt amendment contained in the appendix, and to undertake all obligations assumed by the United States, with respect to Cuba, by the treaty of Paris. Immediately Senor Palma took the oath he attached his signature to a document as president of the Cuban republic. After an exchange of congratulations he and the veteran Gon eral Gomez ascended to the roof of the palace, where a great reception was held. General Wood personally lowered the American colors, which were saluted, and with bis own hands hoisted the Cuban flag, as an act of the United States, Gomez assisting. At the time the transfer took place in Havana, General Whiteside at Santiago turned over his authority to his Cuban successor and sailed away with the American cavalry. General Wood and his staff and the American troops cm barked immediately after the hoisting of the Cuban flag, and the American ships steamed out of the harbor. The enthusiasm in the city was boundless. Many persons were literally mad with joy over their new-born liberty. The streets were full of surging. cheering men and women. Motley processions paraded the plazas. Giant fl re-crackers were exploded on the sidewalks and even in the cases. It was like a combination of an oldfashioned American Fourth of July and a national convention.

TRAGEDY IN A CHURCH Georgia Community Shocked By a ( rue! Crime. Atlanta. Ga.. May 26. —Millard Lee. 20 years of age. the son of a well-to-do farmer. Sunday shot and killed Miss Lilia Suttle, a young woman of 19. at Wesley Chapel, Mt. Gilead campgrounds. nine miles from Atlanta. Just as the minister had finished the benediction and before any of the worshippers had left the church. Lee, who was sitting behind Miss Suttle, leaned forward and fired at her. The first ball entered her hack, but no vital part was reached, and an instant later Lee fired again, killing the girl instantly. While the churchgoers stood astounded Lee backed out of the door and started for the woods, and disappeared before a posse could be organized to seek him. Miss Suttle, who was a beautiful young woman, had refused Lee’s attentions, it is said, because she considered herself above him socially. A PItETTY GIFT France Presents Statue of Rochanibeau to America. Washington. May 24.—1 n the presence of the president and his cabinet, distinguished officers of the army and navy and members of congress, the beautiful statue of General Rochambeau. the French officer whose services were of such value to General Washington in the campaign about Yorktown. presented by the French government to the United States, was today unveiled amid imposing ceremonies. The distinguished party of Frenchmen including the Count de Rochambeau. General Brugere and Admiral Fournier. sent as commissioners of the French government to present the monument to the American people, attracted much attention during the impressive services attending the unveiling of the imposing memorial. Neeley's Fuck. Havana. May 24. —The bill before the house granting pardon to all Americans for acts committed during the American intervention was amended yesterday to grant these prisoners a general amnesty instead of pardon. In this form the bill passed without opposition. A similar bill has been introduced in the senate, where final action on the matter will be taken Monday. The amnesty bill is inspired by the friendly sentiments of the Cubans toward Estes G. Rathbone. If this bill passes it will set at liberty Rathbone and all other Americans under sentence or awaiting trial.

A ReluetaAt Candidate. During a local election in a German Tov.u only one man appeared at the nomination desk. “Whom do you nominate?” inquired the official. “Myself!” was the answer. “Do you accept the nomination?” “Well, no.” Tlie officer laughed and said: “Then we must try again. Whom do you nominate?” “Myself!” “You accept the nomination?” “No.” A subdued “donnerwetter!” escaped tile lips of the perplexed official, but he went on: “For the third time —whom do you non. nate?” “Myself!” same the invariable reply. “Do you accept the nomination?” The man rose up. and a smile of satisfaction spread over his face as he answered proudly: “Having been three times solicited by my fellow citizens to accept the nomination, I can no longer decline to accede to their wishes.” He then re-tired.—Tit-Bits. IndnntriouM Locusts. He was an old sailor and full of yarns about the good old times of sailing ships. "I remember once.” he said, “while we were cruising round the Pacific we were surrounded by a swarm of locusts, which ate every inch of our sails. When we got into the next port. I’m blowed if we didn't see the same locusts and every one with a pair of canvas trousers.” Different From the Rest. They are talking about bow they happened to marry. “1 married my wife,” said one after the others bad all had their say. “because she was so different from any woman I bad ever met.” "How was that?’ chorused the others. "She was the only woman I ever met who would have me.”
