IWAI1D ABOUT TOWN. .1. Woods Smith is in the city.

Mr. Sniltim ' , 'as for many years a resident of Custer county , from whence comes the governor. lie was a fusioniat long before thu governor ever thought of being district - trict Judge , which was several years before ho was chotcn governor. Smith was a candidate - didate for the state senate out there one year , having time endorsement of everything which wasn't republican , but Custer county was raising fairly good crops in those days and J. Woods Smith was left at home. Yet encouraged by the likeness between his political affiliations and those of the goy- ernor , and hopeful through long association as neighbors and practicing attorneys that he might be honored , Smith applied for a commission in one of the regiments of vol- unteere accredited to Nebraska. lie says the governor gao birn hope , but admits now that ho has lost faith in the chief executive - ecutivo of the state. Hence be is yet a civilian , and Instead of directing when and where to fire metal into the ranks of the enemy of his country , ho is now traveling selling metal in the shape of stoves , of such quality that he guarantees they will promote - mote domestic peace , and anticipates vie- tories no less renowned than those he might have acquired on the sweltering fields of Cuba or the Phiiippine , for there is a good deal to Smith , especially physically , and ho would have made an excellent target for either sun or Spaniards.

The original plan of battle seems to have been to have our right sweep the village of El Caney and then , swinging to the loft. get to Santiago on the north while the main force attacked from the east , but this plan feli through wimen the Spaniards wore tOUiii in force at El Caney , General Linares commanding time forces there in person.

They cut their way through the m.mndergrowthm for a mile and a half The easiest marching we had was when we pulled ourselves up the vertical banks of a twenty-foot nit- vine , At about 9 o'clock we found ourselves within five hundred yards of El Caney. During the last hour we had been under a slight but persistent fire from the Spanish sharpshooters ; a fire that we could not return on account of the impossibility of locating it. The greater part of it came from guerrillas concealed in tree tops , which easily concealed the slight puffs of smoke made by the Mausers. During the morning we found a Spanish mornimmg report showing that fronm one corn- pany twenty-five inca were detailed as scouts and twenty-five as guerrillas. The latter , after being comivineed that capture by Americana meant sure and sudden deatim , were given bags of ammunition and sent up trees and told to pick oft American of- ficera.

All we could do was to hope that timero our lines Were heavier and that there the turning point on the village would be made. At about lmaif past 4 in the afternoon one Mauser bullet succeeded in making four holes in my left hand , one in my cheek and one half way down my back. I was carried down behind the hill we occupied. Shouting fur Victory. At about 6 &ciock I heard the grandest sound that has reached the ears of an Amer- ican. First , the firing all along our line became one incessant , never ending report ; thea a wlltl , exultant cheer went. up from our right. as our lines swept the town , It was a cheer from white throats anti from black throats , a cimeer that thrills , caught up and echoed back to doomed Santiago , and right in view of time iins of time Twenty- second time Spaniards retreated. It was our turn now. All ilay long we had waited for it. Now we sent bullet after bullet at them-not at their imeads alone , but at any point from solo of foot to crown of head , so long as it was Spanish. So the figlmt ended. We went out in time morning to march through a hittlo village that would give no opposition. We struck a fortified position , commanded by time ranking general at Santiago - tiago , but tboumgim it cost time Twenty-second alone a colonel killed , six officers wounded , two sunstruck and many men killed and wounded , yet by sunset the village and ninny prisoners wore ours.

These who hare returned hare one pair of shoes , one pair of trousers , 50(1 OflO blue shirt , No underclothing or socks are worn , as the clothing furnished by th government Is time same all the year around , winter and slimmer. and In such a hot country it is inmpossiblo for the men to wear such warm clothes , It is harti times for the boys anti they nil say they wish they cotmld be in ommr quarters - ters mit lort Crook , where time squad room Is kept in a first-class condition , They tb not hare their fine btmtlm to jump into at their wash.

STAGE HANDS IN SESSION Nat Assneint inmi of 'rlicmmtrieiil Emipio'es Opens Its ( . ( , iLS'Ciitlimi Ith Sommme lisoriler , The National Alliance of Tlmcatrical Stage F.mpioycs met 1mm ( 'relglmton huh meterday mormming for a short sessiomi , Owing to a immis. tmmitiersitmndlng there was eommsitierniile dis mite over who should occupy time chair , tmmiui to whom the credentials of the delegates should be gts'emm. Charles It , Normami of New York City stood 11mm , however , mind mis president of the associatiomm would mmot allow time discontemmte't ' faction to break up the umeoting. When Mayor Moores entered the hail to welcome time alliance , about a dozen men were omt the floor yelling at time chair- mamu at the tops of their voices amid every one present was taking some active vocal part in time proceedings. After Mayor Mooros was introduced he said : "When I came into the hmail I didmu't kmmow uvhotimor this alliance wanted me or the chief of police. This is pretty hot weather , but mihen saw nil you fellows with your coats oft throwing your arms around I timought there was going to be a general mixup. I take great pleasure in welcoming this association to the city of Oniaha. During the exposition months 100 organizations of this kiimti viii come to Omaha. This one is time twenty-first that I imave gtvcn the keys of the city to. here are the keys to the city. I hope you will use thenm wisely. I will give you my telephone - phone number , but I hope there won't be maul calls over it from you in trouble. Let this meeting go omm iii harmony , If there is any trouble please call on me , and I will try and pour oil on the troubled waters. " As a souvenir of time occasion Mr. Moores presented the president with two large gilded keys. After the speech by the mayor Presidemit Norman appointad a credential committee of the following membcrs : P. Maloney of Boston , Harry Brown of Brooklyn - lyn , F. Richardson of Newark , N. J. ; C. L. Kohmsim : of Detroit and C. H. Bonn of St. Louis. The committee could not report because - cause of another dispute about the financial matters of the association. Brooklyn and St. Louis absolutely refused to pay their assessments until their own bills against the National Alliance , which were of long standing - ing , wore paid. It was decided to postpone the remainder of the session until tlmla afternoon - noon , when the credential meeting could adjust - just the difficulties , Probably time afternoon meeting will be a more peaceful one and Mayor Moores will not have to be called in to pour oil on the troubled waters. The secretary of the association when asketi what wns the trouble said nothing was the matter - ter and that their meetings were always of more or less the nature of time one this morning. The cause of the trouble In time early part of the meeting was because of charges which had been preferred against Charles Norman as president of the association , charging hum with illegal conduct In matters - ters connected with the alliance at time sea- siomm held recently in New York City. These charge were not read this morning , but they were distributed among the local iodges. Time accent ! session of the Alliance was secret and the sergeant-at-arms was very particular to see that imo outsider be ai- lowed to hiemir any of time hroceethings , President Norman continued to preside , in spite of the charges preferred against lmimn by somno of time members , anti lie appears to have backbone enough to continue as the header no matter how violent a small portion of time members get iii their nil- dresses. The meeting was opened in much the same manner as time one of time morn- ing. No sooner had order been calletl for than lmahf a dozen men were on their feet shouting at the president to be recog- nized. Mr. Norman climmly puffed away at. his cigar and said : "One at a time ! I will insist on only one having the floor and this meeting vlhi be conducted in order. " Time first discussion warm about Chicago and its right to count Springfield , Peoria and other neighboring cities with it in the quota of delegates. The four Chicago rep- resentativcs alternated on the floor for the first filteem minutes trying to convince the other members that these minor alliances did exist , but only as subordinates witim Chicago at their heuti , to whom they haiti their dues , One Chicago man lost lmimm tern- per and said to a member from the Atlantic coast that either lie must bo very harti t lmearlmmg or else lila compreimension of the English languimgo was 'ery small anti him- ited not to understand. "Keep your tern- par , gentlemen , " said the presitlent. "There is no use of our quarreling. " It mit iengtlm decided to allow Chicago to have its fommr delegates on the floor with no consideration - sideration for time suburban mPnmbera , The remainder of tIme afternoon was spent In reading the certificates of memnbership frommi the tieiegatcmm. Today the Alliance will take UI , more important matters. The charges ugainet President Norman re. hate entirely to the official acts of time oxecu. tive hoard , and involve imotiming of moral or mental turpitude. Last night the executive hoard held a session of some hours on mat- tore purely pertaining to the order , Out For Blood- . - ' Amid h'igllt 1mm the front ranks will lie foimuti tIme tmummmous mnuim's ITalian simoc- time oimly stmmmmdmmm'd mmiulsurlmmemit last- - - 'Vliy lmi3' ) $ for the Inferior klmimlm w'iieim thimi $ Ii1flO iflOulC Inmys tium llalltmi-mio hii't'imkiimg iii reqimiretl-nuido to fit-does ilt-ulul flOVtr hmtu'tH the fc'et-\Vu are solu miellurs mititi lutvo timeimi lii lnmteut lemtthiem'-tmtmm miimii emmlfltimi-Lmtdli'mi ( limit want to be imi'to.ilfltu eamm get he new taim slimitie itllahht-I immtmmmmi mlimoti-hhla(1O ( on saimltm littit mis thu mimnmm'mt shoe-tIme hmiost himiimmlsommie $ litO ( tei simoivii In Ommuilma-Ask to see thmeito vimoii imi the jtore.

It is understood that the same arrangement made by the Hammommti people ammd the statement - mont was mmmdc last night timat mill of time men would retmmrn to work this mmmornimmg. Cutlalmy's entire force worked fnitlmfmmily miii ( lay yesterday , the recruits of time mimornitmg being relmiforecil at noon by those who learned of the settlement through tIme morn- log papers , The mcmi turned in with a will , especially after dinner and a great deni of accummulated work was disposeti of with a rapidity that was eurprisimig. Many cars wore bailed ami the elaughtcrimg of live stock went on the same as if mmotimlng had happened. A number of men were asked if they were satisfied mind they replied iii time mmillrmmmatlvc. They mmli appeareml glad to be back at their old places. There was no chatmge in the mtituation at. the SWift mmd ilmmnmnmommd plants thmring the afternoon. A few muon were vorkimig at both ; iiarcs , just enough to keep the wheels turning. At Swift's 150 head of cattle were slaughtered , but as no hogs hati been bought no attemmipt was made to work in time hog cutting or hog killing departments. At both Hammond's mmd Swift's ycater- day quite a number of strammgers applied for work antI were accommodated. These imien were riot packing house employee , btmt eamo here looking for sonmothing to do nod weimt to work for $1.75 per ilay witimotit ask- log any questions nbotmt a scale of wages , tmniomms or anything else. With the close of the labor troubles it is thought that the Armour plant will seen be opened. It is possibie'thnt time kiiiimmg of hogs vlhi commence this week. While it is not known yet just how mnimny mon will be employed the imummiber is estimated at 1,200 for a start. Of course whemm mmli of the buildings are completed more men will be given work. Time strike started on the morning of July 11. at the Cudahy plant , whemm 100 laborers In the loading gang threw down their trucks and made a demand for an increase of 2 ½ cents an hour In their pay. Laborers at all of the packing houses were being paid at the rate of 15 cents an hour , but all were not getting in full time. Fronm the loading gang the fever spread among the rest of the inca and by Thursday last the strike wamm on In earnest. It was the quietest strike ever knowmm hero. The mcmi immain- talneti the best of order anti at all of time meetings time headers cautioned immoderation. As there was no attempt to import laborers there was really no reason for a demmion- stration by the strikers. had time packers tried to brimmg men here from other places it might have been tlifferent , Everyone appeared to be plenned at time early termmmiimatlon of the dimculty and time strihers hmolimt with undo to the fact timat no serious riots occurred. With the increase In wages granted the men say they can live and pay their bills. This , they assert , they could not do under the old scale. Last night the laborers nmmd others inter- estcd celebrated the termination of time strike with a parade. A large number of the men gathered at Kouteky's hail in Brown park and led by a band nmarched to Blumn's hail. The men marched two abreast anti time procession was about four blocks long. Crowds gathered on the streets and cheered the marchers as they passed. At Ilium's ball speeches were made by Chairman Failon and others. All expressed themselves as being more thman pleased at time settlement of the trouble , Along in the eveiming some of the night crews went to work at the packing houses and soon volumes of black smoke poured from tbe stacks of all of the plants , show- iag that active operations will be resunioti this morning.
