President Palma of Cuba and President Roosevelt today it-sued proclamntton, both of which were promulgated from this city in- accordance with an understanding reached between them some weeks ago. President Roosevelt's fori mnl order follows: "Ordered, the postal administration of the United States having concurred therein, that pending the conclusion of a postal convention between the republic of the United States and Cuba the status prescribed by order No.

395 of the Postmaster-General of United States, dated March 30, 1901, relative to the exchange of mall between Cuba and the United States, be mnlntalned; that to say, articles mailed In Cuba, ad-t dressed for, delivery in the United States and articles mailed in the United States addressed for delivery In Cuba shall continue to be subject to the postage rates, conditions, class and regulation applicable to articles circulating In the domestic mails of the United States.

The Brook. anchoraKe was near the wreoit of the battleship Maine, whoaa Mack, nhrunkpn skeleton tvns decorated today with American and Cuban fluga by order of the City Council. When the beautiful cruiser steamed lowly by this pitiful memory, the American ensign at her taffra.ll was dipped, and the eiailorg- generally doited their cr.ps.

As he passed the rrim walls of Cabanas and Mnrro castle the Bicoklyn moved swiftly, the American flan at her fore, and the Cuban flasr at her mmln peak, pallors manning: her aides, and the fla.fr at her stern dipping continuously to the storm of vivas from ehore and afloat Oen. Wool stood on the cruiser and acknowledged the ovation he received by bowing- anfl touching: his cap. The flotilla of small craft kept on In the wake of the Brooklyn until she was hull down on the horizon, then tha boata turned back, and the peop's at the entrance of the harbor f'urned to their Jubilations. The enthusiasm In the city was boundless. Many persons were literally mad with Joy over their newborn liberty.

But President Talma and his Cabinet did not g-lve way to rejoicing. There was stern business ahead for them, and they went quickly to work. As soon as the new government was Installed, Congress met and proclaimed the Constitution and appendix. President Palma reviewed 14.000 school children before the palace, and at 4 o'clock he went to the cathedral, where a te deurrr wa sung: for the new republic. President Palma then devoted an hour before dinner to attending to some urgent matters, among- which was the postal relations with the United States.

By his direction Washington was informed that Cuba would like to continue the present arrangement temporarily. This evening- the city Is illuminated a never before, and a sreat pyrotechnic dlsp4ay is being Riven on the walla of Morro Castle and Cabanas, across the bay. CHANGE OF FLAGS. AN IMPOSING SPECTACLE. ET THE NEW ASSOCIATED IT.ESS-A.M.J HAVANA, May 20.

The natal day of the republic of Cuba found Havana arrayed like a queen, to await tha coming of her lord. The decorations chapter of American history was ended, and the first, chapter of the republic ot Cuba was begun. Before the Brooklyn was hull-down on the horizon the Cubans resumed their festivities. This afternoon there we a yacht regatta In the harbor and on shore there was a review of 15,000 school children by President Palma. At noon a solemn high mass In honor of the new republic had been celebrated In all the churches of the is-Innd, and at 4 o'clock a Te Deurrt was at the cathedral.

At the same hour the Cuban Congress proclaimed the constitution. Tonight the whole city is Illuminated nd. a great pyrotechnic display was made from the walls of Morro Castle and Cabana Fortress. I Mrs. Wood and the children sailed for Spain on the steamer Alfonso XIII this afternoon.

They will spend the summer there and In France. VERY PRETTY RACE. FOR DIPLOMATIC HONOR. (BT DIRECT WIRE TO THS TIMEU WASHINGTON. May 20 Exclusive Dispatch.

There may be a very pretty little race between the new British Minister to Cuba and Herbert G. Squires of New York, the American Minister, for the honor of the office of dean of the Havana diplomatic corps, a position regarded as highly desirable by foreign representatives. The morning newspapers announced that the British Consul-General at Havana had been promoted to the rank of Minister and as he is on the ground while Squires is not, it Is possible for htm to be received by President Palma before Squires gets to Cuba, thus entitling the British, representative to the office of dean. Squires will sail from New York for Havana on Thursday and expects to ar. rive at his destination by Monday.

His nomination waB confirmed by the Senate this afternoon, and it is expected his letters of credence from President Roosevelt to President Palma will prepared tomorrow and will reach Squires before he sails, so he will be in a position to present them early next week. It is not known here whether the new British Minister has received his credentials. Letters of credence have been transmitted by telegraph, but this is unusual, and telegraphic credentials must be confirmed by formal letters bearing official seals. No doubt is felt here that the Cuban government desires the American rep--resentive to be the dean of the Havana diplomatic orps, but the rule 13 that the first comer gets the honor, and President Palma could not well decline to receive the British Minister 1 rr UPERB- ROUTES OF TRAVEL AX INCV THI mbdoil: They Prove the io to ao Hours the Quickest Line to ths East.

Peftor Palma today madj the following statement to the American people: "This Is Indeed a glorious day for Cuba. It la to us what the Fourth of July In 1776 was to the United States, and we appreciate fully the tremendous responsibility devolving upon us. We understand, too, the obligations placed on us, and we mean to live up to them. Though the Stars and Stripes were lowered today for the emblem of Cuba Libre, the flag will live forever in the hearts of all Cubans. Under Its protecting folds thousands of Cubans, when conditions were different, have found refuge, and, again, when we were In the throes of rebellion for Independence, the United States came to our aid, so there Is nothing more natural than the spirit of concord that manifested here today between Cubans and Americans.

It should continue. "On behalf of my people, I repeat our expressions of gratitude to the great American republic, and as to myself, I wish to reiterate the sentiments of gratitude to her government, her press and her people. Their devotion to the cause of Independence, which has helped to bring about this day of Independence for Cubans will live forever In my heart and in my mind, and It shall be a link In the der was packed with the people so thick that the ground seemed alive. Soon all the side streets running Into the plaza were choked into a solid mass of humanity, and every door and window fronting the square was walled in with faces, white and black, old and young, male and female. The crowds sought the roofs, overflowing every building that commanded a view of the flagstaff on the palace.

As far as the eye could see the roof lines wcrj fringed with human faces. It was a Bight to live forever in memory. Drawn up below in the open space of the plaza, were eight dismounted troops of the Seventh Cavalry, with eab.is at their heela.

ceremony Itself was brief and Minnie. After formal greetings. Gen. Wood read the documentary transfer prepared by the War Department, pledging the new government to Immediately proclaim the constitution and the Piatt amendment contained in the appendix and to undertake all obligations assumed by the United States with respect to Cuba by the treaty of Paris. Proclamation is Issued by Oen.

Wood, as Military Governor. It recites tn due form that the Cuban Ccn-gress convened In Havana May 6, examined the credentials and certified to the election of the Senators and representatives now in the Congress, and also found Tomas Estrada Palma; and Cuba Luis Esteves Romero to have been elected, respectively, President and Vice-President of the republic; that on May 20 at noon the Cuban Constitution will go into effect. The document then reads: "Thereupon, at that time, the occupation of Cuba by the United States, and the military government of the island will cease and determine and the government and control of the island will be transferred to the President and Congress so elected, to be held and exercised by them under the Constitution so promulgated. "Such transfer will be upon one understanding and condition, that the new government does thereby and by the acceptance thereof pursuant to the provisions of the said appendix to the Constitution arsume and undertake all and severally th obligations assumed by the United States and Her Majesty, the Queen Regent of Spain, signed at Paris on the- 10th day of December, 1898." Proclamation simply declares the new Constitution to be In full force after the date thereof, and recites the provisions. Then comes the following: "Headquarters' Department of Cuba, Havana, May 20, 1902.

To the President and Congress of the republic of Cuba Sirs: Under the direction of the President of the United States, I now transfer to you as the duly-elected representatives of the people of Cuba, the government and control of the Island, to be held and exercised by you, under the provision of the Constitution of the republic of Cuba, heretofore adopted by the constitutional convention, and this day promulgated, and 1 hereby declare the occupation of Cuba by the United States, and the military government of the island to be ended. "This transfer of government and control is upon ths express condition and the government of the United States will! understand that by the acceptance thereof you do now, pursuant to the provisions of the said constitution, assume and undertake all and severally the obligations assumed by the United States with respect to Cuba by the treaty between the United States of America and Her Majesty, the Queen Regent of Spain, signed in Paris on the 10th day of-December, 189S.

The public evil funds, derived from the revenues of Cuba transferred to you this day, amounting to are transferred subjected to such claims and obligations properly payable out of the revenues of the Island as may remain. The sum of J100.0O0 has been reservsd from the transfer of funds to defray anticipated expenses of accounting, re- i porting and winding up the affairs of the military povernment, after which any unexpended balance of said sum will be paid Into the treasury of the island.

"The plans already devised for th 1 tranitatlon of the cities of the island end to prevent a recurrence of epidemic and infectious diseases, to which the government of the United States understands that the Constitution contained in the fifth article of the appendix applies, are as follows; "(1.)

President Roosevelt also has re. celved the following cablegram from President Loubet of France, dated at Kronstadt, today: "When the Cuban republic is proclaimed under the mighty aegis of the United States of America, I made II my duty to offer to Your Excellency my sincere felicitations and to senj you the wishes that I form for the prosperity of the young republic." tabllshcd by the President of th United States on the 16th day of January, 1839, for the maintenance of quarantine against epidemic diseases at the ports of Havana, Matanzas, Clenfuegos and Santiago de Cuba and thereafter at the other porta of the island, as extended and amended and made applicable to conditions by the order of the military Governor, dated the day of April, 1902.

Signed THEODORE ROOSEVELT, President of the United States. Sefior Palma attached his slgnaturs to the document as President of the republic, after an exchange of congratulations, and the old veteran, Gen. Gomea, ascended to the roof of the palace. He was instantly recognized and met with a great demonstration of welcome, PALMA'S REPLY.

The reply made by President Palma to Wood closed as follows: "I take advantage of this solemn occasion, where there Is fulfllled the honest promise of the government and the people of the United States in regard to the people of Cuba, and when the personality of our country is established as a sovereign nation, to express ths immense gratitude that the pcopie ui reel ror tne American nation, for its illustrious President, Theodore Roosevelt, and for you sonally, for the efforts which you have made for the attainment of that cherished Ideal." President Palma has received congratulations from President Loubet of France, the Presidents of Guatemala and Santo Domingo, and from the Mexican House, of Representatives. Gen. Wood himself undid the halyards from the flagstaff and lowered the American colors. As they fluttered down the cavalry below saluted their fiaa. and, like an echo of the cheers that arose, came the distant boom of one of the great guns of Cabanas Fortress, across the bay.

It was followed by another and another In rythmic succession until for ty-flve shots had been fired, one for each State in the Union. As the first gun spoke the flags on Morro Castl and those on the Santa Clara and Punta fortresses were lowered. Th Jurisdiction of the United, States ended. CUBAN FLAG In the mean time a Cuban flag had been bent on the halyards of the palace flagstaff and with his own hands Gen. Wood raised it as an net of the United States.

Gen. Gomes assisting him. As the flag flew free the streets below fairly waved with the cheer that rose. It was caught up by the people on the roofs and rolled over the city. Again the cavalry below saluted, and again the guns of the Cubans spoke, this time with a national salute of twenty-one guns.

The bands stationed on the plaza, at Cabanas and at M-leeon cnif-hed out with pride of country and the revenue cutters and bit-tleshlps In the harbor thundered their strength of, war. The foreign warships hoisted the flag of Cuba nt their mastheads. The ensigns of Great Britain and Italy had recognized the republic. The demonstration was still in progress when the cavalry wheeled and marched to the wharf, where they immediately embarked on the Morro Castle. Gen.

Wood and his adjutant-general. Col. Scctt. with two alr-M, after a last exchange of good wishes, were driven to the pier, where they entered a launch, and were flicked aiy to the Brooklyn. Both ships got under way an soon as possible, and steml(d out cf the harbor.

Men had worked ail night by the light of torches ti com ylete elaborate designs. There was not a residence, pretentious or humble, that did not bear upon Its quaint fa cade come emblem In honor of the event. Many arches erected -at ths entrances of plaaas by the political octettes, fraternal clubs, residences of various divisions of the city anl organizations had an air of real grandeur. The scaffolding was covered with canvas painted In of marble and from a distance the illusion was complete. Bunting spread on Venetian masts canopied the deep, narrow streets from the rays of tne sun.

Beneath the canopies the Cu. ban colors and palms graced the open doorways, through which glimpses could be caught or luxuriant gardens, In cool Inner courts. Many of the bal. conies Jutting from the whlte-wallej buildings were adorned with Nature seemed In harmony with the spirit of the festivities. The parks were literally aflame with tropical flowers an3 the vaulted rky above might have been out of turquoise.

Above every red-tiled roof rose a Cuban flag. The whole city seemed suddenly burled beneath a forest of waving banners. The decorations along the water front were exceedingly lavish, and all the hipping in the harbor was dressed in gala attire. The majority of the ships flew the American ensign at the main and the Cuban colors at the fore or mizzen. The United States armored cruiser Brooklyn, which was to take Gen.

Wood away, and the steamer Morro Castle of the Ward line, on which the troops were to embark, as well as the foreign warrhips which had been sent by their governments 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 in a few hours, still floated above the grim walls of the fortress which guards the entrance to the harbor. Not another bit of color showed upon them. The early morning vas cool and delightful, and the entire population, reinforced by thousands of visitors, was abroad soon after daylight. All was animation and expectancy.

The streets were swarming with people and werts filled with a ceaseless din. The babble of voices was drowned by the sharp cries of drivers and the clamor of warning bells. As the coachmen drove their carriages madly over the stony pavements, pedestrians had a busy time keeping out of the way of the wheels. There are 4000 public carriages In Havana, and this morning each one rt them seemed speeding somewhere on a life or death mission. Much curiosity was aroused by a statue of freedom which had been raised dtrlng the night In Central Park, upon the pedestal where for cen-turies a statue of Queen Isabella had wood.

During the morning a bountiful breakfast was given to several thousand poor children by Mr. Paine of Boston, who has passed the winter In Havana for many years. As the lay advanced the heat of the sun became Intense and the weather grew hotter every minute. OFFICIAL WITNESSES. The actual transfer pf the control of 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 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 Beflor Palma's Central Valley, neighbors; Horatio Beubons, counsel for the former Cuban Junta; Col. William As-tor Chanler and a few other specially-Invited guests. The palace is an Imposing, yellow tone structure, which for centuries was the residence of the captain-general of Spain. Since the American occupation It has been the official headquarters of the military Governor. The actual transfer of the Island or--curred in the audience chamber, which formed a fine setting for the historic occasion.

The chamber Is today exactly as it was when the Spaniards dpparted, except that the portraits of (he captains-general, which hung upon Its walls, are gone. HAPPY SPECTATORS. Owing toHhe limited rpace, the people were to have no sight of the ceremony to be enacted here which was tr cor.ftltute them a nation before the world, but outflde they were to witness a ppectnele which would stir their pulsus, for they were to see the beloved five-barred and single-starred flog, which Cespedes first threw to ths breeze in at the opening of tn Ter Years' War. raist'd by the act of th United States above the palace.
