Floats Over The Maine
Investigation shows Indiana regiment members waving Cuban flags at the parade were not arrested. Flags were handed by Cubans in the crowd and the act was seen as thoughtless, not planned. Twenty five Cuban horsemen joined the Prado column and caused enthusiasm as they rode toward Central Park. Three bluejackets from the Texas raised a Three stars and stripes flag at the Maine wreck site. An immense American flag fluttered atop the 200 foot naval dock shears visible for miles. Twenty junta members in evening dress and opera hats stood with reviewing generals.

Topeka Plans New City Hall and Auditorium
A plan to build a new central city hall with an attached auditorium is under discussion. The proposal asks the legislature to authorize a bond issue of 60 000 to 100 000 dollars, selling the current city building at Seventh Street and Kansas Avenue to fund the project. The auditorium would seat about 4 000 and the second floor would house city offices and council chambers. The plan aims to centralize government and provide a convention hall, with funding from taxation and subscriptions. A meeting notice for Tuesday January 3 at the Commercial Club rooms is released for discussion.
