At noon today the United States flag was pulled down from the top of Moros castle and the lone star banner of the republic of Cuba took Ite pla e. The change of flags was typical of the change of government and was made by a delegation of Cuban veterans led by Gomes. AH over the city and Island a similar, change was made. The American officials and the remaining American troops boarded the Brooklyn and will sail for home. Hundreds of arches are erected in various parts of the city, which is filled with thousands of happy citixens of the new born republic. General Wood In delivering over Cuba to President Palp a handed him the fol lowing letter from President Roosevelt: "White House, Washington, May 19, 1902. i To the President and Congress ol the Republic of Cuba Sirs: On the 20th of the month the military governor will, by my direction, transfer to you control of the government of the Island of Cuba, to be thereafter exercised under provis ions of the constitution adopted by your constitutional convention as on that day promulgated. He will thereupon declare the occupation of Cuba by the United States to be at an end. At same time I desire to express to you the sincere friend ship and good wishes of the ' United States, and our most earnest hopes for the stability and success of your .govern ment, for the blessings of peace, Justice, prosperity, order and freedom among your people and for an enduring friend ship between the republic of the United States and the republic of Cuba" " y ... if jii i ii i . i- t i v Sunday Bchool jPionio. ..The Presbyterian Sunday school Is picnicking at Woodlngton today.

They usually go to some pretty, shady spots hear Kinston and all who go have cause to congratulate themselves that they are among the number. ' A good, jolly, social time Is had,.; A, day off like this helps evey body, for the cares of life are laid aside and real enjoyment is had. A ad then when the cares' are taken up again you feel stronger and more encour aged in handling or battling wltn them. Then, too, it Is refreshing to see the chil dren so' thoroughly enjoy themselves. More time spent in this manner would probably make the . world bette; and brighter anyway. 'X?.

We found Mr. A N. Perkins, the new lesses and proprietor of the 'At lantic here as busy as he used to be when be was taking such good care of tbe traveling pubfio at the famous old Benbow house in Greensboro, and later at the MeAdoo house In the same city. I woke up this morning, I will not say Jaetat what time,: for the sea breezes were so productive of sweet sleep and delightful rest that the sun had kissed tbe whits caps of the rolling sea waves and Its morning beams were- rollicking, shimmering and smiling on the myriads of liquid lyrics out on the tranquil sound when I peeped out at the Window, but it was one of those enchanting, early morn- panoramas that .bare been unfolding themselves here for thousands of years. Out beyond the breakers old ocean was till rolling "Itself 'In itcj towering blue mountains chasing each other In "Lurried awe-Inspiring fren until 'they looked like - white-crested peaks rolling and tumbling and lashing themselves into foaming silvery surging surf, and then playing hide and seek up and down the sloping beach. .

Away down the coast old Lookout still; tow. ered above tbe coast, the sea and the sound, the bigh pinnacle of striped ma sonry was plainly visible, but the) great light that bad guided seamen and sailor daring tbe night had gone to strep, and the lonely night watch of the light bouse was perhaps resting from his faithful night vigils, unmindful of the roar of tbe ever , restless sea that enveloped him, . . ; ' This Is a great place for rest and recrea tion.

It Is also a great place for , fun and frolic. Perhaps I havs said that before, but it's tbe truth, and telling the trutn again and again won't hurt. And the fun and frolic has not yet begun for this season. The rest and recreation has be gun, and no sooner, bad Mr. Perkins opened the front door than rest and health seekers began coming in. They are com ing la this early, although the real open ing of the hotel does not occur until June 5th, but Mr. Perkins and his charming wife are here to stay, and they have made up their minds to take good care of all those who come even before tbe open ing, and to provide for them tbe best ac commodations obtainable.

Sadar Coif era Aajttated. A very serious question Is disturbing tbe congressional golf contingent who ipllow the little white ball on Sunday. ; : Senator Dillingham and Representa tive Allen have introduced In the sen ate and bouse respectively a bill which la designed, as its title indicates, to. . protect the first day of the week. It Is a very drastic measure, forbidding : the sale of anything on Sunday except tobacco, cigars, newspapers, drugs and CoQus and making It unlawful to work on building or railroad construction, eo that If a railroad track should be damaged by a wreck It could not be re paired. But the clause that Interest tbe golf players Is as follows: HNor shall any public playing of foot ball or. baseball or any other kind of playing, sports, pastimes or diversions disturbing the peace and quiet of tha day be practiced by any person or per sona within the District of Columbia on Sunday." ; ," , -' , Quite a discussion was held in tha . cloakroom of the Tioose the other day as to whether this language forbade golf playing by Individuals on private -club links on Sunday. . - "Don't worry.'" said a certain west ern memberCwbo plays golf on Sunday- os be joined the conference; tbe bill will never pasa" ' , ' Tha Memerlal Bridae. , The srxt-lul committee of the depart ineut of the Potomac, ti. A. R., is mak ing another bard effort to secure the Initial steps to tbe erection of a memo rial bridge. ' Tbe committee, composed:, of Thomas S, Hopkins, John McElroy and B. F. Bingham, the comma uder of the department, called on tbe president : to again urge bis good offices and aid1. In getting congress to make an appro-. print Ion to provide for the laying of - the cornerstone of the proposed bridge during the national encampment of the G. A. It. lit October. It is earnestly hoped that congress can be Induced to , take this step. Tbe president Is deeply - ' Interested and will give whatever aid y he can. Mr, Hopkins and the members of the committee urged the president ... to send a special message to congress ." asking an appropriation, for the first work toward the bridge. Tbe president may not do this, as he . dislikes to establish a precedent of - this kind, but he did not decline to do so and Is going to give tbe request coo- slderation. It is felt that a special mes- v sage would awaken congress and result : -in some action being taken. The presi dent will probably talk to some infiuen- . tial senators and representatives about . t tbe proposed bridge. Marpeia Oaaalbaa BUL - Representative Mercer, who success- . fully piloted the omnibus public build- - lng bill through the house, says that - the measure was tbe first one of its . . . kind ever passed. . "I found a precedent," said Mr. Mer- cer, "away back In the year one, when an omnibus lighthouse bill was passed, ., , but the effort to pass an omnibus pub lic building bill wss never tried before. x' - The success of the experiment proved its wisdom. The last time we under took to provide for public buildings we were at work for four days in the house and appropriated , $19,000,000. v This time we only appropriated $17.- -000,000 and got the bill throajrh In three hours. When you remen;ber the , total amount for public bulldlutu sug gested In the bills Introduced asb'regat- ed C7,000.0O0, 1 think the country .will appreciate the care as well as the skill we bad to exercise In order to secure a measure that would command the ap proval of the house."
