" TI THIS OMAHA DAITjY MiffiV SATURDAY , AUGUST 14 , 1807. t1 denco of the liveliest warfare , and as there tfcro a number of firearms In both parties It Is a wonder the affair did not result inoro seriously than It did. A large force of peace officers has been sworn In and an the In- VAilcrs , or most of them , arc still In Kill- loty there Is great difficulty In preventing a renewal of the trouble. CAUSR OP TIIR HOW. The action of the Hock Island people was rjrdmptod by a decision of Judge Oast , ren"- d'cVcd at Cambridge today , dissolving the In junction which had prevented the removal of the headquarters from Fulton. The tlok Island delegation arrived at 0:30 : with B75 men and Immediately proceeded Jii the ofllces of the Woodmen's order. Though they met with desperate resistance froln the atari , the Hock Islanders succeeded IH getting the bulk of the records out to the , i. 3 > The Knllonltcs In tlio meantime bad called out the fire department , sounded a general alarm and with the augmented cr'rtwd . 'UCeceJcd In tearing up the track In /ifyjit of the locomotive. It was then at- tptuptcd to 'back the train , whereupon the tollton people tore up the track In the rear. Dy this time the Fultonltcs wore rein- farced by crowds from Clinton and yonw , and having this advantage and with It the use of the anna of the Iyona company of the Illinois State mllltla , a ; x iard was formed about the train. In the meantime two additional master In chancery Injunc tions were secured anil the sheriff Hworo In 200 deputies to aflotat In enforcing them. The Fulton people showed fight from the .moment the Hock Island crowd arrived. Having received Intimations that the special was en route , there was n largo contingent nt the ilupot * hen It arrived and at once hostilities began by tearing up the walks about the depot and assaulting the Invaders with the loose planks. At Hid door of the head ofllce , the village marshal , William llonnett , stood with drawn revolver. A brick from ono of the Invaders felled him to the ground. The Hock Island- era then made a run Into the otllce and cap tured the records. At the depot , which U half a block distant , the light was renewed , and here It took the nature of a riot , during "Which " 150 of the Hock Island people were tificed ( under arrest.

" WASHINGTON , Aug. 13. So far as Is [ known at the State department there has , bqcn no general order Issued by the Spanish iHOvernmcnt for the release ot all of the tbbncco held In Cuba for export to tbo ttnlted States under the prohibitory rule of Captain General Weylur , Issued last year. Each case Is being treated on Its merits and tho' only general order ifsued relates to the ovdcnce } that must be produced by the .American owner of the tobacco , such as 'proofs that contracts for delivery of the to- Tjacco were actually made prior to the Issue , qf the prohibitory rule ; dates of the vailous s.teps In the transaction and explanations of tUo. reasons why the tobacco had ciot been shipped before. In some cases ihere has , bpcn considerable delay In securing the re- jleaso of the tobacco on-lng to the fact that tjila ovldcnco has been sent to Madrid In stead of to Havana , but generally It is said fthe , Spanish government 'Is treating theap plications with proper attention.

The Tire was first noticed nt 1 o'clock by MIus Ill-Ion Hoby , a guest at the II. & M. hotel , 'about ' ICO feet dU'tant. and It had then at- 'tafhod a good start. As the depot is one mlle from.tho business portion cf the city "We fire department did not arrive in time to save any of the buildings- The express , ( ilinggaEe and safe wore removed , but 200 jMteccs of freight were burned. One freight car was burned , but the freight was saved. "Ah ? , origin of the flro is attributed lo the 'explosion ' of a Inmp In the ticket nnd tele graph office. At li-.XO.

Cnviilry L.-nil.-r AVIio AVPIIKCN tlic \VIOIIKN of Illn Aiic'i'Mtors. The name of the revolutionary leader , General Jesus Rabi. Is mentioned often In the dispatches from Cuba. As commandcr- In-chief of the Cuban cavalry forces In the east , relatco the New York Sun , ho has won renown not only by his deeds of daring and his skill as a strategist , but also by his chivalrous spirit and his devotion to tha cnuso ot liberty. The Interest In his career Is Increased by a circumstance made known through a Cuban letter to the Sun that he Is one of the few living descendants of the aboriginal race of Indians who Inhabited the Island when Columbus discovered It In 1492 , and nearly all of whom were slain or enslaved by the Spanish conquerors. It Is against the offspring of the race who destroyed his own ancestors that General Rabl now wagea war with all the energy of his nature. Four hundred years after his people were crushed by Spain he appeara on the battlefield as Spain's defiant enemy. The aboriginal race that Inhabited Cuba In the fifteenth century , when It wna In vaded by Spain , were known as Clbonoyes , and they numbered perhaps 40,000. They belonged to the same stock as that which then dwelt upon the other Islands In the Caribbean sea , and that have always been spoken of as Indiana , The Clboneyea were singularly docile in their character , and they received the Spaniards In a friendly manner ; but their gcntlo traits did not BIVO them from ruin. In a few years they Buffered the doom that awaited the natives of most of the other American countries flitbducd by Spain. The story Is a familiar one. The Spaniards overran the Island , mas sacred thousands of its unfortunate Inhab itants under circumstances of extreme cruelty , burned their proud chief at the stake , und reduced to involuntary gervltudo these who were lefl alive , assigning to each Spaniard a gang of Clboneyes numbering about SOO. The treatment to which the slaves were subjected by their masters was so harsh that nearly all of them were dead within twenty or thirty years , It Is a black chapter In the history of Spain. iA few of the people took refuge In the mountatnoim region of the cant , and a email number of their posterity may bo found there at this day. They are of a light copper color , and they Inter-marry , as do the Jews , so that their blood la kept distinct from that of the other inhabitants of Cuba , It is to this almost extinct race of man kind , the race of the ancient Clboneyea , that General llHbl belongs , though he Ui lisa noted for hla docility than for some other trallH. In recent times he has done his part In caiiAing Spain to Buffer for tlio wren K that Spain Inflicted upon his ancestors four ccnturlro ago. Ho Is us bitter In his hatred of the Spanish tyrant ns he Is proud of his descent from the aboriginal Clboneyes. It wan In hU youth , nearly thirty years ago , that thlfl heroic man flrwt look up arm * against Spain , Ho participated In the ten- year war , after which he- waited for his next opportunity ; It came In the second month of 1895. HU military record ulnce then has been a brilliant one , and has manifested the finest qualities of a mind that Is Inspired by the love of liberty and justice , He ID a man of broad thought , and he converse * about public affaire Ilko a statesman , Under lila command there ore live battalions of cavalry , beside * a small force of Infantry , There baa been a report that General Habl would take part In the projected campaign agaltmt Havana. If he uhoulci do BO , and if it should bo hU fortune to enter the capi tal bearing the flag of free Cuba , the story ot the romance of the hero of the modern Clboneyeu would bo rounded off , ( o the die- honor of Diego Velasquez of the year 1611 und to that of Valerlsno Weylcr ot Ihe ye r 1897.

The climate of nil Hint portion of tlio Alaskan coast Hint Is bathed by the Jnpnn current , extending from tlio southern bound ary of the territory northwnrd and westward to the island of Atoo , n distance of nearly 2.G00 miles , Is remarkably bland nnd frcs from extreme henl and cold throughout the year.

An Alaskan midsummer day Is a day without night. In Hie extreme northern portion ot the territory the sun does not set for weeks , nnd oven as far nouth as ? Sltka and Fort Wrangel It sinks only n few de grees below the horizon , so that the rosy colors of the evening blend with these ot the morning , leaving no gap of darkness be- tweon. Nevertheless , the full day opens slowly. At midnight , from ( he middle point between the gloaming nnd the dawn , a low arc of light Is seen stealing along the horizon zen , with gradual Increase of height ana epnn and Intensity of tone , accompanied usu- nlly by red clouds , which make a striking advertisement of the sun's progress Icng before - fore he apepam above the mountain tops. Kor several hours after sunrlsv everything In the landscape seems dull nnd um-ommunl- catlve. The clouds fade , the Islands and the mountains , with rulTs of mist nbout them , cast 111-doflncd shndows , nnd Ihu whole fir mament changes to pale pearl gray with Just a trace of purple In It. Hut toward noon there Is a glorious awakening. The cool hazlnrss of the air vanishes , and the richer sunbeams , pouring from on high. make all tlio bays nnd channels shlno. Hrlghtly now play the round-topped ripples about the edges ot the Islands , and over many a plume-shaped streak between them , where the water Is stirred by some passlnc lirecze. On the mountains of the mainland , and In the high-walled fiords that fringe the coast , still finer la the work of the sunshine.

Through the afternoon nil the way down to the west the nlr seems to thicken nnd iceorno soft , without losing Its fineness. The irecze dies away , and everything scttlea nto a deep , conscious rcposo. Then comcn the sunset with its purple nnd gold not a larrow arch of color , but oftentimes filling nore than half the sky.
