A party of thirty-five society people of

One of the big events carded for the week
i s the observance of fled Mens' day , which
w ill be the feature for Wednesday , with a
r epetition of the festivities on Thursday. It
I s ecpected that not less than 2.000 Red Men
w ill be in attendance , with a possibility of
t he number being doubled. Most of the
members of the order will be decorated out
i n war toggery and will present a striking
a ppearance.
Some people have confounded the Red Men
with the Indians who are looked after by
Captain Mercer and who are encamped on
t he north tract. They are not Indians , bow-
e ver , but members of a fraternal secret
o rder which has adopted the name and a
regalIa that resembles the outfit of an In-
i lian. They are all warm members and will
mak things hum on the exposition grounds.
They will come from Tennessee , Nebraska ,
I owa , with some delegations from Missouri
and Minnesota. They will bold an annual
l edge meeting and after hurrytng through
with the routine business will repair to the
grounds , where they will contInue celebrating -
ing the annual convocation , doing this in
the most approved style.
The Bed Men have decided to have a sham
battle Wednesday afternoon and another on
Thursday. They will be armed with guns
nod revolvers whIch will be loaded with
blank cartridges. The battles will take
place on the North tract within the enclosure -
closure occupied by the Indians. The latest
scheme is to have the OO Indians take part
and dye the whites an example of what
the children of mountain , forest and plain
can do when it comes to a contest where
powder plays an important part. The
grounds of the Indian eacampnent are ad-
niirably adapted for these battles. baying
high grass , level plain and woodland. II
I the plans for battling with the Indians are
I completed , which seems probable at this
time , the savages will form on the west end
of the tract in the brush and timber. where
they will have every opportunity to skulk :
behind trees and hills , thus carrying on L
running fight. The whites will form on the t
level land west of the Dairy building an I
'will charge down upon the Indians. who no- .
cording to program will put up one of ( tic i
prettiest fights ever seen. They will re .
pulse the whites and will take a number o r
prisoners , who vill he prepared for tortui- i
at the stake. While these preparations arc '
going on the Indians will execute some ol r
their war dances. Just as they are about t
to apply the match to the fagots plied higi 1
around the white prisoners the Red Men .
reinforced , will swoop down upon the In .
diana , drive them from their position , re -
lease the men at the stakes and carry then I
away. However , during this time , the In -
diane , who are mounted and on foot , wil I
carry on a bushwhacking warfare , sbootini ;
from behind trees , bushes and the litti e
hummocks which are scattered over tb e
grounds.
Having released their comrades the white a
will march back to their stronghold at th
east end of the grounds , only to be again ar
tacked by the Indians , who will push th e
battle for a time. only to be routed in Ui 0
final struggle.
In order to make the battle more reahisti C
some 5,000 rounds of blank cartridges hay e
been ordered , which will be divided betwee a
the Indians and the Red Men. Courier a
have been sent to the Omaha and Winnebag 0
agency to secure ponies and horses , and c Lt
least 150 will be brought down. With thu [ S
additional number of horses the Indians wi II
be able to mount 300 of their braves , leavin g
about 125 to fight on foot. Most of ( be Re d
Men will be on foot , though It is expecte d
that they will have one company of cavalr , y

The last presentation of the famous bat-
t ie piece , which has been so well received
b y exposition audiences , will be given to-
n ight. The concert will begin promptly at
7 o'clock , bait an hour earlier than usual ,
a nd close with the fantaqie.
Since the first presentation of "From
Battlefield to Fireside" there have been
numerous inquiries whether it can be ob-
t aineuj In published form. For the information -
mation of those interested it is stated that
i t has never been published and is played
by Pbinney's band ( rota the original manu-
script. There is a published imitation of
the piece called "From Fireside to IlatUe-
field , " but it Is a shorter and less elaborate
composition ,
While the general features of the battle-
piece have become familiar. the precise relation -
lation of the pyrotechnics to the music is
not so generally understood. The slgnift-
cance of the red fire that is lighted at the
beginning of the battle is the illustrations
or the atmospheric colorings caused by the
ignition of infianirnable materials by the
bonibariiment. The flight of the rockets
from behind the band stand Is simultaneous
cvith the line "and the rocket's red glare"
in the melody , and the following line , "The
bombs bursting in air. " is marked by the
intonation of the bombs. The flag is low-
croci from the arch on the strain , "The flag
was still there. "
InilIiiii us 4u Ilatzi nuns ,
As a rule the Indians are of a religious
turn of mind and look upon Sunday as a
day of rest. This applIes most strikingly
to the Indians who have lived around the
agencies anti have listened to the teachings
of the clergy , consequently they observe the
Sabbath almost as religIously as did the old
time Puritans. Yesterday for Instance , instead -
stead of working on their bows and arrows
and other trinkets that they Intend to sell ,
they rested , hardly going outside of their
tepees aid wlckiups , Hail it not ralnc.I , they
would have given some of their most sacred
dances and performed some of their inter.
eating religious rites ,

-Cenoral hams , wIth the Fourth Ohio and
t he Third Illinois , started from Arroyo on
Friday for the Spanish stronghold ot
Guayama , The Fourth Ohio was placed in
the lead and when only three miles from
Arroyo its skirmish lines were attacked by
the Spaniards from ambush. There was a
hot running fight from this time on until
the Macrican troops reached and captured
Gunyarna , which La about six miles train
Arroyo.
The Spaniards were repeatedly drIven
from cover and scattered in every direction ,
hut having the advantage of familiarity with
every nook and cranny of territory , they
were enabled to elude pursuit and to gather
in ambush again furtbr along the way.
The dynamite battery of the Ohio regiment -
ment was especially effective in routing the
enemy , and its work saved many American
lives. Spain's deadly sharpshooters were
paralylzed by the explosion of its terribje
shells.
The American troops were welcomed joy.
ousiy by the people of Gusyama , The
stars and strpes bad scarcely been raised
when the Spaniards , who bad gathered in
force , made a savage attempt to recapture
the town. The battle iasted two hours ,
durIng which the dynamite battery was
again called into play effectively. The en-
Cray WOS finally driven back , scattered and
pursued for some distance.
Iloth regiments of United States troops
showed splendid nerve. There was po

SM St ontijos his widow was left with a for-
t une adequate to the maiotennnce of the
p osition of herself and tw daughters , one
o f whom marniet the duke of Alba and
I 3erwick.
For Eugenic , the Countess Tabs , a higher

g uisbed by the dignity and e ince of her
d emeanor and by great persdut beauty , of
the aristocratic English rath.'r than the
S panish style. Her mental gifts were not
l ess attractive.
Shortly after the opposition t the higher
n orthern powers had put an end to the idea
o f a union between Emperor Napoleon III
a nd the Princess Carola Waca of ¶ 3weden
h e apprised the council of ministers of his
i ntended marriage with the daughter of the
C ountess de Montijos , a measure which cx-
c ited some disapproval among them and

t heir abode in the palace of the Elysee. The
marriage was celebrated with much magnifi-
c enco on January 29 , 1853 , at Notre Dame ,
t he empress then being in her 27th year.
On March 16 , 1656 , she became the mother
of an heir to the house of Bonaparte. Up
t o the outbreak of the war between France
and Germany her life was comparatively
uneventful , being passed chiefly in the
ordinary routine of state etiquette. When
the war was declared and Emperor Napoleon
took the field the empress was appointed
regent ( July 27 , 1S70) ) . Immediately after
the revolution in Paris , on September 4 , she
hastily left the Tulileries and escaped from
France , landing five days later at Hyde , In
the Isle of Wight , and sboftly afterward
joining the prince imperIal at hastings.

WAShINGTON , Aug. 7.-Although as yet
w ithout official confirmation of the report
f rom Paris that the Spanieb government has
d ecided to accept the terms laid down by
t he United States as essential to the nego-
( lotion of a treaty of peace the omcials here
a re proceeding under the convIction that
t he end has come and are giving attention
t o the steps to be taken next.
In view of the delay in coming to this
c onclusion the idea was beginning to pre.
v ail that the Spanish government was about
t o eater a plea In abatern'nt , and thai the
a nswer would again be Inconclusive. In
t his ca-se the president was disposed to deal
fi rmly with the issue ; to give notice that
o ur propisals were withdrawn and to let it
b e understood that when Spain again sued
f or peace the conditions would be more
s evere than those first laid down. If the
Spanish answer should embody an effort to
s ecure any materiel change in the condi-
t ions it will meet with prompt rejection.
Some reference has been made in the die-
patches of British newspapers to a desire on
t he part of the Spanish government to in-
elude in the preliminary agreement a clause
exempting it from liability for the Cuban
debt. The formal statement of poInts of
the United States note given out from the
White House made no reference to this sub-
j ect and it cannot be known yet whether or
not the full text. shows anything more. But
presuming that no reference whatever is
made to the Cuban debt It is possible the
subject may be regarded as one that should
be treated by the peace commissioners who
are to meet later to frame the treaty which ,
of course , will embody many details that
are left untouched in the main proposition ,
though cabInet otflcers have authorized the : ,
statement that no part of the Cuban or .
Porto Rican debts would be assumed by .
the United States.
. I'robui.ly a Lengthy Answer.
Based upon the Associated Press reports I
ot the progress being made at Madrid L
toward confirming the answer of Spain ii -
was calculated by the department officials
that the Iormal note could not be delivered I
to the president before tomorrow and thai t
was also the belief of the French ambas. .
sador. From the length of time consumed I
in Its preparation the note was believed tc I
be long , thus entailing the consumption 01
much time in forwarding It first to Paris ,
reducing it to cipher there , transmitting II L
over the cable and then retranslating ii L
at the French embassy. In the ease of thu
tast note the attaches of the embassy worker I
nearly nIl nigbLto prepare their communication -
cation to the Spanish government , though
the conference with the presIdent closed be
fore 5 o'clock in the afternoon. with thi
amba.ador in possession of the Uniter
States note.
Should the Spanish answer be an uncon -
ditional acceptance of our terms some nego .
tiation may be necessary to agree upon th e
steps to be taken to give effect to the agree
meat. So far as can be learned it has no t
yet been determined how this shall b a
done. . There are two ways open. The firs t
is a military capitulation by the captair a
generals of Cuba and Porte Rico , which wil 1
immediately place the American military o r
naval commanders in technical occupatiot a
of the islands and enable them to carry on t
in ( heir own way and in their own tim e
the embarkation of the Spanish armies t n
the islands.
Preliminary fletntI ,
The question as to whether they shall hi e
permitted to carry off their arms is ne it
now as material as it was in the case c d
the surrender of General Toral's forces e Lt
Santiago , where , occurring In the midst St
a campaign , there was a necessity for at t-
curing the moral effect of compelling ( is 0
Spanish soldiers to lay down their arm 5.
Spain having succumbed it might be urge d
that the United States might grant a cmi L-
cession on this point to Spanish pride with I.
out fear of having the action attributed I 0
fear of the consequence of a refusal. Thil Is
would not apply , however , to the volunteex :
who might elect to remain in Cuba , as it
would not be prudent to allow so large a
body of men to carry arms without restraint
i n the days of reconstruction , when del-
i cate and difficult matters of internal policy
a re to be settled and new methods applied to
t he government of the islands.
The second method by which the prehim-
mary peace agreement might be formally
eected would be by a protocol , to be signed
by a representative of the president , probably -
ably Secretary Day in this case , and by Id.
Canubon in behalf of the Spanish govern-
meat ,
It was by just such an agreement as
thIs , known as the Cushing protocol , that
war with Spain was averted as a result of
the Virginius affair. This course having
( be weIght of precedent may be adopted in
this case. It is probable that in the Phil.
ippines the greatest difficulty will be met
in putting the agreement into effect , on
acount of the attitude of the insurgents ,
but General Merritt is now gaining in
.strength daily and probably will be in a
position to meet any emergency.
'I'D Curry Out Reeunsiructiou Policy ,
General \S'ado's reinforcements for General -
eral Miles are going forward regardless of
the progress of peace negotiations. The
agreement to negotiate a treaty of peace does
not necessarily carry with it a cessation
of hostilities. In the cnse of the Mexican
war It was a month after the peace negotiations -
tiations began before hostilities were do-
dared to be closed , and if it is desirable
these reinforcements may' be intercepted and
returned to the United States after they
sail. The present plans of Secretary Alger
all contemplate that they shall leave the
United States , especially as it is felt that
with the practical field experience they will
acquire ii3 Porfo Rico under favorable cli.
matte conditions , they will make good ma-
teriai to use both there and in Cuba irs
carrying out the government's reconstruction -
tion policy.
Secreaary Alger is apprehensive that the
small whartage resources of Santiago will
seriously retard the execution of the depart.
meat's orders or the speedy return to the
United States f Shatter' , army corps. With
the Spanish steamers coming 'in to take
away the surrendered army of General Tar-al ,
which must he first removed before it will
be safe to wltbdraw the whole of the Amer-
lean force , it is going to be difficult to em.
bark the latter- without incurring danger of
a severe congestion in the unhealthy town.
General Shatter baa been called upon by
cable to describe the state of aairs , and
he will be given all the help in the power
of the War department , but stiil it is be.
lieved ( hat the whole of Shatter's soldiers
cannot -be embarked before the 1st of Sep.

MADRID , Aug. 7.-Sew ( York Worl
Cablegram-Special Telegram.-The ) Span-
isis note accepts without discussion the four
preliminary conditions of peace imposed by
the United States. taking care , however , to
indicate that Spain gives way through the
force of events , again asserting that she had
neither sought nor done anything to provoke
the war , into which she was driven by the
conduct of America. The note suggests a
suspension of hostilities with a view to make
easier the course of subsequent negotiations
and offers to appoint commissioners in eon-
cert with America to settle the future regime -
gime in the Philippines. It is generally supposed -
posed that Spain's delegates will be Duke
Aimodovar , Merry del Val and Leon y' Cas-
tub. The council of ministers deliberated
on the expediency of convoking the Cortes ,
but left the matter undecided until the La- 0
tentions of America are known In regard to
the sanction of the respective parliaments. 0
.t.socigted l'ress Story ,
MADRID , Aug. 7.-12:30 : p. m.-Senor
Sagasta , the premier , has just concluded lila
conference with the queen regent. Her
majesty approves the general lines of the
reply of Spain to America's peace terms ,
which Senor Sagasta explained to her.
The reason ( Or postponing the cabinet
council until 6 o'clock this evening is that
the note is not fully drawn up.
The government believes that the United
States will accept Spain's answer , whith will
certainly reach the \\'bite house by Tue-
day. As a Consequence of the United States
accepting the reply , hostilities will immediately -
diately afterward be suspender ] ,
As the reply to the American terms was
only submitted to the queeg regent today
all the reports of her approval yesterday
of the American demands are necessarily
without foundation. '
MADRID , Aug. 7.'IO p. m.-The cabinet 0
council terminated after having completely
approved the reply to ( lie United tatee
w hich , it is said , accepts the American con-
d itions.
The reply will he telegraphed to Senor y
Castillo , the Spanish ambassador to France ,
t onight so that M. Cambon , the French
ambassador at \ S'ashingtoowill receive it
t omorrow ,
The government is fully convinced that
t he note will be satisfactory to the Wash-
i ngton government , it will be impossible
t o know accurately the text of Spain's
answer to the American peace terms ,
From a well-Informed
source it is
l earned , however , that while the answer
does not discuss the four bases which the
United States makes an essential prellrn-
m ary to peace , and which Spain accepts
WIthout reservation , it points out ( bat in
order to avoid the definitive negotiatlos S
being in any way complicated by incidenta
of the war , it is expedient to agree beforehand -
hand to a suspension of hostilities ,
It is reported that Duke .lunodovar de
Rio , the minister of foreign affairs , and
Monsignor Merry dcl Val , Spanish ambns-
sailor to the vatican , will ho Selected to
represent Spain in the negotiations ,
The newsspapers make no comments on
the situation owing to the strictness of Usa
censorship.
