Thousands (;I Enthusiastic Citizens Honor the Executive. HAVANA, May 11.—At 7:30 o'clock this | morning a large Cuban flag was hoisted over Morro Castle here, a signal that the steamer Julia, with President-elect Palma | and his party on board, had been sighted. Cheers went up from the thousands who had awalted the Julia’s arrival since day- | break—cheers for the new President and for the flag which was hoisted over the famous fortress for the first time. It was a moment of exultation for the Cubans, and the fact that the Stars and Stripes floated from its customary flag- staff beside the Cuban flag over the castle did not lessen their enthusiasm. | A great fleet of vessels that had gone out to escort the Julia in returned two hours later. As the Julia entered the har- bor bands stationed along the water front played the Cuban national hymn, steam- ers saluted continually, there were cheers from the crowded wharves and church | bells were rung. The procession entered between rows of decorated tugs and barges. The several warships in the har- bor also were decorated. Near by the Stars and_Stripes floated over the wreck of the Maine, and under this flag streamed a black - and white pennant, placed there by the Cuban commission in charge of the festivities. At the whar{ the President-elect was | welcomed by Vice President Esteve and | Senora Durce, each delivering a brief ad- dress. A feature here was twenty-three | young Cuban women dressed in costumes representing the American republics, Later the President-elect was escorted | by members of the Rural Guard to_the | palace, where he was received by Gov- | ernor ‘General Wood. From _here the | President-elect proceeded to the Munici- | pal Counell building, where speeches were made by the Mayor of Havana and Senor Zayas, The latter welcomed Senor Palma in behalf of the people of all classes and all political beliefs. Replying, Senor Palma said that his re- ception was a gratifying experience, and judging from what he had seen since his | arrival in Cuba the people were unani- | mous in support of the incoming govern- ment. This, he said, boded well for the republic. General Wood accompanied Senor Palma to the residence of General Maximo Gomez, where he wlill reside un- til his inauguration, May 20. A breakfast was given by the Municipal Council in honor of the President-elect, and in the evening a dinner was tendered him, General Wood and General Gomez | and other prominent Cubans being pres- | ent at the latter function. Mrs. Estrada | Palma will be welcomed officially when | #hie arrives from New York to-morrow. AIRSHIP BEARG THEM T0 DEATH Explosion of Sevros’ Machine Kills Two Aeronauts. Serious Accident Occurs Dur- ing Experiments in Paris. PARIS, May 12—The airship belonging 1o Senor Auguste Sevros, the Brazilian aeronaut, made an ascension this morn- ing. The airship exploded and Sevros and one of his assistants who was on board were killed. Senor Sevros’ airship, called La Paix, had made two ascensions at the Vaugar- arsa Aero station since May 4. Upon both occasions La Paix was held by a rope at the height of forty metres. In this posi- tion the airship maneuvered for a short time successfully, La Paix was not unlike Santos Dumont’s airships in appearance, but it differed from them in many details. The gas capacity of La Paix was nearly four times greater than that of Santos Dumont’s balloons. It had three main propellers and two smaller ones, used for steering and in ascending and descending. The two petroleum motors of La Paix were of twenty-four and sixteen horse- power, respectively. After the ascension of May 4 Senor Sevros said he would not make another trial until there was. per- fectly fair weather, and that he would then attempt to extend his flight. Upon this occasion Semor Seyros and two as- sistants went up in the airship. Auguste Sevros has occupied himself with the problem of air-flying for more than twenty years. In 1881 he carrfed out some interesting steerage kite experi- ments in Brazil. In 1884 he constructed a large steerable balloon, but the results with this were not satisfactory. Sevros was at one time deputy and president of the budget committee in the Parliament at Rio de Janeiro. He was born about forty years ago. SOUTHERN WOMAN OWNS LARGE PICKLE WORKS Mrs. E. G. Kidd, owner of the well known *‘pin money” pickle works of Rich- mond, Virginia, arrived at the California Hotel yesterday, having attended the re- cent convention ot Women's Clubs in Los Angeles. Mrs. Kidd is prominent in business cir- cles in the South. During the civil war her husband fought for the Confederacy, and his fortune was_swept away. His wife went to work and sold pickles of her own manufacture for “pin money.” She became so successful that she now con- trols a large force of employes and some time ago purchased the estate that her husband lost through the civil war. | High “\.

O'Neil delivered another of his lectures in connection with “The Retreat for Men,” conducted under the auspices of the Holy Name Society, established in St. Dom- inic’s Church. The Rev. Father Pius Murphy and tany other of the clergy were present. The object of the retreat has been to offer extraordinary opportunities for hear- ing the word of God, for worthily recelv- ing the sacraments and for advancing the Apostolate of the Holy Name of Jesns. For eight evenings Father O'Neil has addressed congregations, which have been large and devout. Last evening the special exercises and series of lectures were brought to a close. They commenced with a solemn reception to the Holy Name Society, followed by the discourse, ‘‘Be thou faithful unto death.” The Rev. Father O'Neil said that- it was essential to lay a foundation of strength in religion, not such a one that was temporary, but one that must be lasting. He besought his hearers to fol- low righteous lives and in every sense clean and circumspect lives. en, he sald, should avold all vain amusements, idle conversations and useless reading and apply themselves earnestly to the their eternal salvation. Only God knew how near we were to repair the past by leading others to God. ‘Fhe series of addresses has been attend- ed with marked success and the dis- courses have been delivered before many hundreds of men and youths.

Millions of Feet of Lumber and Big Planing Mills Are Desiroyed. TRUCKEE, May 11.—8ix acres in the central portion of Truckee were a raging mass of flames for seven or eight hours this morning. The extensive box factory and planing mill of the Truckee Lumber | Company, around which the town was' originally built, was totally destroyed and | with it went the office with everything | it contained and a number of warehouses and dryhouses filled with boxes, seasoned | lumber, glass, windows, doors and build- ing material. One million feet of lumber | piled on both sides of the river was also destroyed. The fire probably originated because of a defective electric .wire, but the exact| cause will never be known. The powdered dust arising from the wood-working ma- chines coated the interior of the old build- | ing and exploded with the first contact of flames. The entire building was blaz- ing before the alarm could be given. A train of cars partly loaded with boxes, standing in front of the building and ihe | office, situated a hundred feet distant, | were almost instantly on fire, together | with scores of towering lumber piles. It was the closely piled lumber 'and the compact bundles of box material which caused the fire to last so many hours. A number of larger piles of lumber have blazed fiercely all day and are lighting the town to-night. There was not a breath of wind, and although many houses were scorched on Main street and several caught fire, no losses occurred except to the lumber company. More than a million feet of lumber was saved, although many of the piles destroyed were but a few feet distant. The flames rose vertically to a | height of 200 feet and were seen at Clarks | Station, Nev., ninety miles distant. A | dozen times the town seemed doomed, but | there was an abundance of water and the | men fought as only those can who fight | for their homes. - ‘The loss is certainly $200,000. It'is be- lieved the insurance was $20,000, but the | policles are in the San Francisco office of | the company, To-morrow morning the company will commence rebuilding. Con- | tracts had been made in advance for mil- lions of feet of boxes and millwork and | it is believed the new factory will be run- | ning next month.

Colonel A, S. Hubbard of the San Fran- | cisco Society of the Sons of the American Revolution recelved a detailed accouat of the session of the congress of the dif- ferent societles held at Washington. D. C., on the last day of April. From this it appears that California has again come patriotically to the front. It was in Cali- fornia that the first soclety of sons of | heroes of the Revolutionary War was started; it was California that first start- | ed the association outside thelimlits of the State, and now it is California that is first in a movement to preserve an historical monument in a foreign land. Some time ago William M. Bunker, past president of the California Soclety, while in London, visited a church known as Holy Trinity of the Minories. ' He was shown a marble slab, about 3x6 feet in dimension, erected to the memory of Elizabeth, niece of Lawrence Washing- ton, the latter an ancestor of George ‘Washington, and surmounting this slab he saw a shield on which are the Wasn- ington arms, the eagle and the stars and stripes, the origin of the American flag. | It bears the five-pointed stars and the broad stripes which gave the idea for the flag of the United States. He concluded that what he designated as the ‘“‘stars and stripes monument” ought to be pre- served by the American peogle, and par- ticularly by the Sons of the American Revolution, so at the session of the con- gress named he introduced a resolution in the following word after having made a patriotic addres: The stars and stripes monument in the church known as Holy Trinity of the Minories, London, England, bears the Washington arms the eagle and the stars and stripes—and the Hve-pointed stars and red stripes are presumed to have suggested the design for the American flag, and since this monument marks the burial place of Blizabeth Washington, of the family from wiich George Washington' directly descended, its maintenance is of deep interest to the Sons of the American Revolution, and it should be most carefully safeguarded. Rev. James F. Marr, rector of the parish, has writ- ten that an annual expenditure of $250 is neces- sary for the maintenance of the monument and the accommodation of American visitors to the church, and has also announced that the co- operation of the Sons will be gladly accepted. Therefore, be it Resolved, That the president be and hereby Is requested to appolnt a committee of three on the stars and stripes monument, with full power to act, whose duty it shall be to i quire into the conditions of church and mon ment and who shall, it the inquiry proves sai isfactory, arrange for subscriptions from the State socleties to the aggregate amount of $250, with the understanding that the money Will be forwarded to Rev. J. F. Marr, or the church authorities, for use in the maintenance of the monument and the accommodation of American visitors to the church. The resolution was adopted by a unani- mous vote, and a committee will take charge of the matter.

Owing to a break in the cable, the cars on the McAllister-street line were stopped last night. The break occurred early in the evening and was occasioned by a coi- lision between a car, which a gripman was running into the car house, and a bumper. | The strain on the wire rope proved so | great that it parted, and the citizens re- siding In the vicinity of McAllister street had the pleasure of walking to and from their homes.

Delivers a Bundle to a Friena and Steps in Front of an Engine. Oakland Office San Franeisco Call, 1118 Broadway, May 1L James Rodden, an employe of the Southern Pacific Company at the West Oakland yards, was struck and Instant- Iy killed by the Alameda local train at 7 o'clock this evening while trying to do a small favor for a fellow employe of the company. Rodden had been asked by a friend, who was suddenly ordered out omn an overland train as fireman, to get his jumper and overalls ard bring them down to the train. The fireman friend dld not have time to go home and get his garments, and Rodden agreed to do this for him and to meel the overland train at the land end of the mole, so that the fireman might have them on his trip. This Rodden did, meet- ing-the overland train a few minutes be- fore 7 o'clock. The overland slowed down so that Rodden could hand_the bundle of clothes to the fireman. Rod- den passed up the garments, said good- by, got his thanks and stepped back on another track as the heavy overland train began to pick up its speed. As he stepped backward he stepped directly in front of the Alameda local and was ground to death under its wheels. Rodden was 40 years of age, and leaves a wife and four children living at 1687 Eighth street. Engineer Smith of the Alameda local says that Rodden stepped back from the overland train almost di- rectly in front of his engine, apparently not thinking that the Alameda track was 80 close to where he was stepping, and as the train was very near him it was impossible to stop. POPE IS NOT WILLING TO SELL CHURCH LANDS WASHINGTON, May 11.—Because it may seem to condemn the friars the Pope is opposing the proposal of the United States that he authorize the sale of church lands in the Philippines. This is the real obstacle in the way of the pur- chase by this Government of property owned by the clerical orders. ‘When Governor Taft visits the Vatican he will suggest the appointment of a mixed American and church commission to appraise the lands, the price they agree upon to be paid by this Government. Up to_this time the church has shown a de- cided unwillingness to part with its prop- erty. An investigation made by Arch- bishop Chapelle showed him, it is stated, that but a small percentage of the friars were guilty of excesses and that they were for the most part upright, honorable men. He opposed any action that would tend to give the impression of condemning the friars, and _his views have been adopted by the Pope. Nevertheless, it is necessary in the interest of good order. the authorities here say, that the friars should not return to the Philippines. Gov- ernor Taft's mission to the Vatican is a most delicate one, and the President and Secretary Root will be highly gratified if it meets with succes ek UNIQUE CEREMONIES FOR COMMENCEMENT IRVINGTON, May 1l.—Anderson’s Academy will observe its Arbor day om the 17th inst. This will be to the academy what commencement days are to other educational institutions. There will be | an address by Dr. George C.

The graduating class will plant its tree with appropriate ceremonies, making the day unique among events of the kind. — - GRATEFUL TO AMERICA. PARIS, May 12.—The Gaulois, referring to the vote of $100,000 by the United States Congress for the aid of the Martinique sufferers and the sending of an American cruiser to the island, says: “Of all friend- ly manifestations, the most brilliant and the mest touching are certainiy those of the United States. The great people be- yond the ocean have again proved that feelings of humanity and generosity ara among the noble qualities upon which they pride themselves. This flne exam- ple of human solidarity touches us pro- foundly and we are happy to note it in this unforgettable circumstance.” - DIXIE SOON TO BE READY. NEW YORK, May IL.—Rear Admiral Barker, commandant of the Brooklyn navy yard, said to-day that he had re- ceived orders to get the converted cruiser Dixie ready for sea at the earliest possi- | ble moment, but that no orders for saii- ing had been received and he had not been informed officially that she was going to St. Plerre. It will not be possible to get the Dixie ready before Tuesday, perhaps not until Wednesday. The vessel, which returned last Friday from a ten months’ cruise with a crew of apprentices and landsmen, is in command of Captain Berry. Shower Stones at a Train. SAN RAFAEL, May 11.—The Ukfah ex- press train on the California Northwest- ern Railroad was attacked by a few in- toxicated persons near Schuetzen Park this afternoon. They threw stones through the car windows, causing much damage and injury to the passengers. The train is not scheduled to stop at Schuet- zen Park, but on account of a junction with the North Shore Railroad must stop | at the crossing. Just as it approached the platform of Schuetzen a number of hood- lums waved to the engineer to stop, and as he pald no attention to the signal they showered him with stones.
