It was ' learned today that Craiy
Snake's inquiry as to protection in
case of surrender was Hot official, but
was communicated in a roundabout
way. Monday night an Indian boy
went to the home of Dr. M. K. Ho
Ilheny, at Brush Hill, six miles from
Pierce. The boy said the old chief
had suffered a slight gunshot wound
In the calf or his leg last Sunday but
was able to move. The lad declared
that ths fugitive wished to surrender
of Dr. Mellheny would guarantee free
treatment, Then the messenger dis
appeared, leaving the physician, an.
old resident and friend of the Creek
leader , to wonder how to reach the
latter with an answer. ; The inability
of Colonel Hoffman to find where to
dellved his assurance of the safety
has prevented the surrender of Crazy
Snake. Even Crazy . Snake's sister
could not, or would not Indicate his
whereabouts. i "

HAVANA, March 31. Tho last em
blom of American domination over
Cuba disappeared at noon todny when
the garrison flag at 'Camp Columbia
fluttered down the pole and was re
placed a moment later by the lone
star, red banner of the Cuban republic.
The ceremony attending the transfer
of authorities took place in the nes
ence of the American garrison of
Camp Columbia. y
At the direction of Major General
Thomas H. Barry, commanding. Lieu
tenant Bayard Bneed, of the Twenty-
seventh Infantry, advanced to the flag
staff and hauled down the colors. The
troops presented arms and the Cuban
and American bands played tho "Star
Spangled Banner." A Cuban lieuten
ant raised the Cuban colors and the
troops again saluted.
The transfer of the camp being
thus completed, the Cuban troops
lined the roadside and presented arms,
while the Americans, numbering about
800. in heavy marching order, swung
past, proceeding to the transports
Sumner and McClellan. The passage
of the troops through the city did not
attract the least attention, and not
more than a doien visitors at the ar
