President McKlnley has given a positive assuranceof hln consent to be the guest of the exposition during the grand peace Jubilee , which will bo the feature of early October. This Information vas conveyed to President Wattles yesterday In a tcle- Ki'.im from Manager Koscwatcr of the De partment of Publicity and Promotion , who left Omaha Wednesday night for the ex press purpose of securing the presence of tin- president nnd the members of the cab inet at this demonstration. Immediately on his arrival In Washington Manager Rosewater called on the president , with whom ho conferred at some length. Ho vigorously represented the Importnnco of the exposition and urged that nowhere clso could the return of peace bo so appropn- ntcly signalized. President McKlnley was profoundly Impressed with the force of the argument and before ho loft Manager Rosewater - water had the president's positive assurance that ho would visit the exposition during the first or second week In October. The members of the cabinet were In New York to attend the great naval pageant and Man- nger llosewatcr started for that city at once to sccuro their promise to participate in the transmlsslsalppl demonstration. Since the presence of President McKlnley Is al ready assured it Is not believed that much difficulty will be experienced In Inducing the cabinet officers to accompany him. The news that President McKlnley Is re- nlly coming to the exposition was received with the most enthusiastic satisfaction by the exposition officials and by 'private citi zens. The success ot the peacej Jubilee Is now believed to bo assured nnd the man agement expects that hundreds of thou sands of people will bo on the grounds dur ing the week. It will be the big week ot the exposition and from now on the ar rangements for celebrating it In a flttlnfi manner will IKJ vigorously pushed.

A number of the greatest orators nnd most distinguished statesmen of the United Slates will contribute to the oratorical features of the celebration and the week will bo full from ono end to the other of events that will Inspire the Interest of the multitudes that will certainly come from almost every part of the union. Hove It Wan llroiiKlit. WASHINGTON. Aug. 20. ( Special Tele gram. ) President McKlnley Informally ac cepted the Invitation extended through Manager Hoaewater to attend the Trana- ralsslsalppl Exposition during Pcaco Jubilee week. At 3 p. ni. Manager Hosewater , ac companied by Assistant Secretary of War Melklejohn , were shown Into the Library room. The president was at his desk , lookIng - Ing somewhat careworn , although he ap peared quite cheerful. The conversation naturally drifted from the war to the pres ident's much needed and well earned va cation , which the president said could not begin bcforo October 1 , when the peace com mission Is expected to enter upon its work in Paris. Before extending the Invitation to attend the Peace Jubilee at Omaha , Mr. Hosewater , on behalf of the exposition managers , pre sented the president a superb painting rep resenting the grand court nnd lagoon by John R. Key , the famous artist , who painted the magnlllccnt pictures of the World's Fair , no1' on exhibition at Omaha In the art gallery of the Illinois building. The president expressed himself highly pleased with the exquisite piece of color work , more especially because it was executed by an American , the grandson of the author of "The Star Spangled llanner. " After hearing Mr. Hosowater's earnest ap peal , the president said : "You may say to your pcoplo that I accept the Invitation nnd unless something nnforscen happens , I Bhall visit Omaha early In October. It seems to mo proper that a president who has con cluded a successful war , should manifest his appreciation of the achievements nnd nrts of pcaco as Illustrated by thu Trans- Mississippi Exposition , but let mo say right hero that I am not going to Omaha to make n speech. I need rest and want to bo com fortable. " "We shall try to mnko you comfortable , Mr , President , " exclaimed Mr. Rosewatcr. "That Is what I need , nnd remember I am not going to prepare speeches nnd want no tiddresscs delivered to mo. " "Tho Chicago people , " said Mr. Rosc- * water , "arc also preparing a demonstra tion. " "Let the Chicago pcoplo do what they like I will tnKo a vacation ; 1 am going to Omaha. " fillet Oeronlnio ComliiK , Too. Chief ficronlmo and about fifty of his braves , with their families , will be given a vacation from Kort Sill , where they have been ostensibly held as prisoners of war for moro than ten years , to take part In the Indian congress ut Omaha. This was brought about by the request made by Mnn- nger Koscwntcr on the Indian Bureau for another detachment of Indians to reinforce those already at the exposition. In talking with Assistant Indian Commis sioner Towner , who appears very much In terested In the Indian congress , It trans pires that ( ieronlmo nnd his ex-Apaches were still under the Immediate control o. the War offlce. When Acting Secretary Mclklojohn'u attention was called to this he expressed astonishment , but found on in quiry that it was true ; that 250 of these Indians had been hold as prisoners and sup plied with army rations for years , untl everybody In thu department had forgotten nbout them. Secretary Algcr's attention will bo called to this and ttacru is nc doubt Geronltno and Ills band will be turncc over to the care of the Indian bureau. Prof , James Moouey ot the Bureau o Ethnology his beta designed to proceed tc the southern reservations with n view to selecting nbout 200 Navajo and Klowa nnd Mochl Indians for the Indian congress. IIUAVi : IMHA.VS EAT TIIKIH HOfJ. \ohlo lied Men InilulKe In One of Their Noleinn Cereinonleii , Out nt the Indian congress yesterday afternoon nnd evening there were some of tbo members who had dog meat on the mend , but there were n good many moro who had to bo satisfied with the rations supplied by Uncle Ham nnd which arc served dally. There Is no Indian , however , who would have been too proud to have dipped down Into the kettle and fished out a chunk of dog , had he had the opportunity. In fact they all wanted dog , but when their family pedigrees and trees were examined , it was ascertained that there were not so many who were entitled to the delicacy. Captain Mercer , who Is In charge of the Indian congress , had put up a great card ot Indian sports for yesterday afternoon , but when Old Sol got down to business even the Indians rebelled nnd declared that It was too hot to cliaso around In the dances or ride panics. The captain was of tha same opinion and all of the afternoon sports were declared oft and nothing was left but the dog feast nnd everybody's dance that came on later In the evening. The dog feast was set for the afternoon , but as there was some difficulty experienced in landing just the right kind of a dog , It did not come oft until just nbout the time when the sun was get ting behind the hills. From then until the last bone of the canine was picked , there vas joy enough for an average Indian who as acquired nn appetite for dog. In order to be entitled to cat dog , an ndlan must have been a warrior at some line In his existence nnd besides this , he lust have returned to his people with some calps attached to his girdle. These scalps , f course , can bo those of white people or thcr Indians. In looking the camp over , t was found that there were about forty M illins who had done Eomethlni ; that would ntltlo them to eat dog. Llmps-When-Ho- Valks was commissioned to select three lelpers and the quartet was ordered to go ut and get a dog for the feast. This com mission was Issued Friday nnd yesterday lornlns the four men started. They beat lie weeds that grow so luxuriantly In the Iclnlty of the exposition grounds , but nary a dog did they find. Then they tried sev- ral back yards , but were driven oft by the wncrs of the premises Into which they ven- ured. After this they tried to run down everal street curs , but the- aforesaid curs bowed the Indians some clean heels nnd atcr the red men returned to camp to re- iort to Captain Mercer that the Omaha dogs lad pome scruples against being caught and jolled. The captain felt this way , but hav- ng promised the Indians dog , he proposed o keep bis word. He sent one of his teams , a driver and a couple of Indians to the dog ( ound , where n largo black dog was se eded , loaded into the wagon and brought o the camp. This all occurred during the orenoon and when the men with their dog eturned , there was much Joy throughout ho congress. Every Indian from Falls-ln- ho-Dlrt , who has tipped off four score and en years , down to Little Congress , who s only 3 days old , had to take a look at he poor dog that was marked for the laughter. They pronounced It a fine brute , ust right to eat , after which Shot-the-Elk- Standlng took It out nnd tied It to a tree , Vhllo Looks-at-the-Moon drew his knlfo across the .inlmnl's Jugular. After the dog had been killed Mcsdames aowfl-No-Fcar and Runs-to-the-Front , ns- Isted by Miss Young-Wotnnn-Afrald-of-the- Iravo removed the skin nnd prepared the carcass for the kettle , while half a hundred , -oung Indians who had never tasted dog , int around and begged for even a drop of .ho blood. Their begging wont for naught , ust simply because they had never per- 'ormed ' a brave deed. At last the carcass vas prepared and about the middle of the afternoon It was put into a big kettle which was hung over n slow fire. From that tlmo until shortly after 6 o'clock the kettle sim mered nnd boiled , while the aroma of coolc- ng dog filled the air for blocks around. 3vcry few minutes durlug the afternoon some Indian would walk up to the kettle , liter the usual exclamation , "ugh , " give the log a turn with n stick nnd go away satis- led , while the cooking morsel would turn over and a leg , nose or tall would pop up o the surface. There were only one lot of Indians who would not hnvo anything to do with the log and these were the ones from the south- .rn portions of the country. The southern Indians nro not stuck on dog , and would no quicker eat dog llesh than they would par take of poison. Not that they have any re- Iglous scruples against dog. but just be cause they have not been educated to cat that kind of meat. According to the statement of Mrs. Car- at 6:30 rles-Her-Hend-Hlgh-ln-the-Aalr , clock the dog was pronounced ready for ihc table. This announcement was made to iarrles-thc-Banner-the-Year-Round , a mem ber of the Blackfcet tribe , who Immediately mounted n .dry goods box nnd delivered n short speech , commending the Indian * nbout him and referring In a forcible way to the many acts of bravery that they had per formed. Ho said that It Is not often that so many Indians of so many different tribes got together to eat dog , and that for this reason , the occasion should bo regarded as a most memorable one. As the Indian fin ished his -speech he was greeted with cheers and cries of "servo the dog" came from all parts of the camp that happened to be In the vicinity of the fire. "Serve It yourselves. " promptly responded Mrs. Knows-No-Fenr. who had superin tended the cooking. A second invitation was not needed , anil In less tlmo than It takes to tell It , all of the Indians who had nn undisputed right to eat dog were gathered about the kettle and were fishing out pieces of dog. There was enough to go around , but none to spare. While the dog feast Is not such n pleasant thing to witness , It is Instructive and inter esting to the whites , who stayed to the fin ish. With the Indians It Is n big thing nnc nn event that will stand along with that of the whlto man's barbecue. After the dog had been disposed of , th ( male Indians formed around the kcttln and the few dying embers over which the cookIng - Ing had been done nnd indulged In a dance This dance , however , was participated In only by these who had had dog for supper After that , however , there was a dance In which everybody took part , It making n < difference whether or not the dancers had eaten dog flesh.

Hundreds of thou- ands of people nlong the banks of the Hud- on and thousands of all styles of river raft blended their shouts In n royal wel- ome to the returned North American squad- on , under command of Hear Admiral ampson , and as fine an August day as could e desired waa nature's tribute to the return f the victors. For almost three solid hours whistles of all tzcs , steam sirens and small guns along lie shores shrieked nnd boomed from the fforts to display the heartiest enthusiasm or the homo coming of the naval heroes ith their battle-scarred ships. Early In the morning the seven big ships , tie New York , Iowa , Indiana , Brooklyn , lassachusetts , Oregon and Texas lay In iow York harbor. Just off Tompklnsvllle , . I. There was no Idea with Admiral ampson that New York was prepared for rousing reception , but the news was ronght shortly by a navy tug and all the hips of the squadron was Immediately put nder preparations for dress review. By 9 'clock the big , dull looking fighting ships , oomlng high above the picturesque con- uslon of smaller craft which had come down o get a glimpse of the ships , were ready for movement. Strung out along In their decks n long , regular lines , were the white unl- ormed Jackles , with here and there a blue- oated officer , all strongly contrasted against ho sombre , lead colored armor of the ships. When the hour for the start came It looked .s If It would be Impossible for the great hips to make their way through the perfect am of river craft. Vessels of all descrlp- lens , from the smallest steam launch to lie greatest ocean liner , were banked around lie squadron. Cheers and shouts of welcome ese from every deck nnd the boats' whistles ,11 joined In the shouts of welcome. Sud- lenly there was a movement on the flag- hip Now York as the big ship started orward with a slow , stately glide. It was ulckly followed by the other six vessels n the following , order : Iowa , Indiana , Irooklyn , Massachusetts , Oregon and Texas. It w'as'some tlmo before the ships could et into review formation , but If4 the time ho New York's prow cnmaifl' line with Governor's Island , the other ships' had ormed In regular line. niirtlnir MIINH of Color. The start was made , accompanied by tre mendous cheering , screeching voices and : annon. From Castle William came the Irst salute. It was merely a flash ot bright red , which was Immediately smothered In a hcet of smoke before the detonation was heard. Then came the roar across the vaters , and the ships headed _ rlght In the Ivor on the way to General Grant's tomb. All along the line of piers , on sheds , louses and every possible point of vantage , eoplo were packed. The river craft , crowd- ng the warships close , were jammed with passengers , sinking the sides of the ves sels almost to the guard rails on one side , living the impression that even the ships hcmselves bowed In unconscious salute to : he returning naval heroes. The width of : ho Hudson river was a struggling , flutter- ng , darting mass of color , confusion and cheers. As the vessels moved further up the river , he water , which had been calm at the Bat- cry , was churned by the action of hun dreds of steamers nnd waves dashed over the small boats and sheets of spray darap- ned the pasengers on the lower decks of .he larger rteamers. As the grim-looking battleships moved up the river the crowds became denser nnd the enthusiasm was moro marked. At Riv erside drive with Its steep , grassy slope , the scene was like an amphitheater. Tens ot housands of persons covered the green slope and as the battleships approached a mighty cheer arose that reverberated backhand forth across the Hudson. From the bottom ot the slope an observa tion train crawled lazily along , keeping even with the ships , above the vast sea ol humanity and crowning this General Grant's tomb , which was to mark the beginning ol the return of the squadron where a national salute ot twenty-one guns was fired. The tomb , standing high , white and solemn , was far above the waters of the river , looked to be built upon a foundation of faces. For the first tlmo In the parade the battleships drew together. Just at the point of { re turn there was a momentary lull , as If ex pecting a climax. .National Salute. Suddenly from the sides and turrets ol the battleships there was a vivid flash , fol lowing this a tremendous roar , announcing the first gun of the national salute. The heavy smoke curled and tumbled down towards the water and up Into the air untl the ships had been almost hidden , but the roar , coming again and again , seemed to rock the waters themselves. It was an Im posing spectacle , as the big battleships boomed a salute to the nation , as the war ships saluted the final resting place ot Gen eral Grant and the guns that sounded the knell of Admiral Cervera's ships at Santi ago boomed a reverent oblesanco to the na tlonal hero. The salute ended , the return of the squad ron along the line of review was begun It was a repetition of the enthusiastic scenes on the way up the river. Every whistle that could be brought Into use played Its part ; every bell , every band Joined In hon orlng the fleet , and above all were the re sounding echoes of the shouts from wate and on land. The parade of the ships , from the time that It passed the Battery on Its way up the river , to the time It reassembled on It way to anchorage off Tompklnsvlllo , S.

TAKES IN SUBURBS Manila's Capitulation Believed to Include Philippines Entirely , MERRITT INFORMS WAR DEPARTMENT llastic Expression Contained in Article of the Surrender.

WASHINGTON , Aug. 20. Official an nouncement of the terms of capitulation greed on Manila reached the Wnr depart ment thlb evening In a dispatch from Major jenernl Mcrrltt. It was the first notlfi- : ntlon , officially , of the nature of the stlp- ilatlons and embraced the complete terms n six articles. There Is considerable difference of opinion is to the exact significance of the terms of capitulation , hut the best opinion ob- ainable tonight construed the language to embrace all Spanish possessions In the Philippines and not Manila alone. While the preamble specifically cites the 'unctions ' of the cpmmlsslon to be "to dc- crmlne the details of the capitulation of ho city and the defenses of Manila and ts suburbs and the Spanish forces stationed herein , " It is pointed out that the word 'suburbs" is an elastic expression and the anguage of article 1 stating that the Span- sh troops , both the European and the na- , lve , capitulate "with" the city and de- 'ences goes to emphasize this construction. This is the view expressed by war officials \nd considered In this light goes to con firm the press dispatches stating the capit ulation involves the whole Philippines. One unusual provision is embraced In the reference to the return of surrendered arms , he article providing for the return when he Spanish evacuate "or the American army evacuates. " This , however , Is a formal expression and Secretary Alger tonight showed that there need be no alarm on that score by his statement : "There is no doubt of the Americana evacuating. " All the unsettled points in the terms of surrender will have to be finally determined > y the president , though there ts no doubt that ho will approve whatever agreement General Merrltt makes. The terms make no reference to the harbor and strictly provides for land occupations. Admiral Dewey , how ever , has made no report of the terms. The capitulation follows In some respects Lbat at Santiago. The Spaniards will bo nnblcd lo march out of town with modi fied honors ot war , depositing their arms , however , at some designated point , and of- Icors retaining side arms. No present dtf- Hculttes will be experienced in feeding the 15,000 Spanish troops on the island , though more supplies may have to be dispatched there later. These troops will not bo re turned to Spain by this government. It is supposed that a merchant ship brought the Merrltt dispatches from Manila to Hong Kong , as the Navy department Is not aware of the arrival at Hone Kong of a dispatch boat. The reported Insurgent raids Inn Cuba caused considerable comment in official cir cles , but the view was taken at the War department that the raids did not indicate a pupose on , the part of the Cubans to dis regard the suspension of hostilities. It is presumed that the raids occurred before the Cubans were aware that an armistice was arranged by the United States authorities.

HOPE FOR A DISPUTE Spain is Expecting Great Things from a Disagreemonti WILL URGE CUBAN DEBT FOR THAT PURPOSE May Seek to Obstruct the Work of the Peace Commission , LOOKING FOR INTERVENTION BY EUROPE Continental Powers Still Hope to Receive Some Benefit. EAGER FOR A SLICE OF THE PHILIPPINES It IN llelleveil that n Firm I'linltlon by ; the United State * Will lluve u Tendency to .Simplify , .Matter * . ( Copyright , 1S9S , by Press Publishing Co. ) MADRID , Aug. 20. ( New York World Cablegram Special Telegram ) It may beet ot thu highest Importance 'for the United tales government to define forthwith Us mentions with regard lo the 1'hlllpplnc Isl- nds and the Cuban debt. Those are the ucBtlons upon which Spain and America emu certain to clash In the Paris peace lommlsslon. Disputing over them threatens o make the negotiations drag until Europe nay seek to thrust Itself upon the contend- ng "peacemakers" us an arbiter. The latlrld government Is hoping for great hlngs from disputation. Many who are familiar with International flairs believe that If the government n' , iVashlngton would state clearly In advance lie position It will take on those points , the tl'cct upon continental countries , and like wise upon Spain Itself , would be highly icncficial to the American cause. For In- tancc , those persons say , Spain might ro- ouslder Its present Intention to press the Cuban debt upon the Paris commission were , t known that the American members will bo instructed not to discuss the subject. If he Americans Ignore that debt , they argue , hero will be no way for'Spain to shirk Its ) , payment except by defaulting or repudlnt- ng It. It Issued the bonds , offering Cuba is collateral without Cuba's consent , got the noncy and spent it. If Spain loses the se curity which was offered and accepted , It ivlll be an affair for Spain and the bond holders to settle among themselves , unless America takes It up In the negotiations. Then Europe's chief Interest In the ne gotiations will feasibly diminish , certain diplomats assert privately , If it Is made plain that the Philippine Islands will not been on the market. As long as the rivals for he control of the far east sec a chance for getting any or all of those Islands by co ercion , purchase or otherwise , they will cm- ploy every means of obtaining the coveted possessions. If America announces that It moans to POO that the Islands shall be free , Ithcr under a-reformed government by Spain , * n American protectorate or other wise , Europe , knowing ones declare , will keep its fingers out of the fire.
