City Clerk Carpenter has advertised for proposals for city offices and a Jail , the bid- Ulng to be open until noon on Thursday , September 1. Ottnlled drawing * mutt ac company all blda , 11 b ln the inttntlon of the council to accept the raoit desirable. When the matter'came up In the council It was thought that the city engineer would bo Instructed to dr ft plans which would form a bails for the bids , but thli formality was laid aside and each bidder will be ex pected to send In a plan of the building he proposes to erect. Just here is where a difference of opinion may come In. Mayor Ensor wants the city offices arranged similar to a bank , with the dlflcrcnt offices partitioned off with wire netting , and with one long counter at which all business shall be transacted. The mayor holds that by this plan a visitor can see at a glance whether the person he wants to Bee U In or not , Those conversant with city affairs assert that while this arrangement might work in a bank , U will not do In publlmofflces. U ts alleged that separate rooms are needed , and further than this a private room Is needed for the principal officers. For in stance n resident calls at the clerk's office for a record , and should the bank plan bo adopted there will bo no place for the plac ing of heavy books except on the general counter. While out the books might be mutilated or pages destroyed , but In order to prevent this the clerk would be com pelled to stand guard over the property he Is responsible for. It Is the same with the treasurer. Many people call daily at the treasurer's office to look up records , nnd It ts not deemed ad visable to turn the books over to the gen eral counter. The same thing applies to the engineer's office and so on down the line. Records which must bo kept Intact would be subject to disfigurement were they left with out being constantly watched. With a private room for each ot the officials men tioned all persons could examine the rec ords at their convenience , and all anxiety would be relieved. The mayor wants the Jail to bo con structed separate from the office building , and If built according to his Idea It will be a model structure. It was stated by his honor yesterday that ho would like to see a jail with solid brick walls , concreted In side , and with sloping concrete floors , so that all parts could be flushed without trouble. He would also have stout steel cages. The only entrance or exit would bo directly Into the police court room. According to the resolution under which the advertisement was placed , the proposal Is to be for a lease of from one to five years. This Is considered by some to be entirely too short for the amount of money which will have to be expended and an extension of from eight to ten years has been sug gested. Something will surely come ot this agita tion , for every member of the city gov ernment Is disgusted with the condition ol the present quarters. Several well known real estate men are now figuring on the deal and It Is thought at least six proposi tions will be received. Two or three prop erty owners on Twenty-fourth street have been trying to find out Just what Is wanted , besides a number of others who own land within a block or two of Twenty-fourth and N streets. The building to be erected must be lighted by electricity and piped for gas nnd the owner must agree to keep the same In repair for the term of the lease. Steam heat must also be provided along with modern plumbing. Chnrited with Attempted Bribery. . Mlk'j Mrrkeson was arrested last evening by ' Constable ' ! > arn of Omaha , who was armed with a warrant Itnued by Justice Fos ter , and which iharced Markeson with at tempting to comH't an officer of the law.

GENERAL GARCIA AMBITIOUS Hopes to Supplant Masse as President of the Cuban Eopublic. NONE BUT SOLDIERS ALLOWED TO VOTE Ilniiku on III * Popularity In the Army to Secure the Election Over the Cotmervntlvc Element Headed by Ma no. NEW YOHK , Aug. 20. The Tribune prlnU the following this morning : The .lied U line bteainer 1'hlladelphta , which was char tered by the New York and Cuba Steamship company to carry a cargo to Santiago do Cuba , arrived hero yesterday. It was the first merchant vessel to leave this port for Santiago with a cargo after the port was captured. On its return yesterday It btought ! thirty-eight passengers. When It sailed from hero It carried 125 passengers , mostly people who desired to prospect In Cuba. Mr. Doaudoln-Ucnnctt , who was a passen ger on the Philadelphia , had been In Cuba from the time the United States sent Its first expedition for the relief of the Cubans front Tampa , on May 17 last. Ho was at Esper- anza , the seat of the Cuban provisional gov- | eminent , until last month , when he lott tha Island In an open boat. In speaking at events at Esperanza ho said : "Tho Cuban , government Is delighted with the turn of , affairs. Although It has been In regular communication with Havana , it has not heard from Garcia since May last. Garcia/1 has not been on the best of terms with the. government. Gomez has already come out openly and announced that ho will not per- ' ink his name to go before the people as o > .J candidate for the presidency of the Cuban republic. General Garcia , on the contrary , has let his friends know that he Is a can didate for the presidency. There will , therefore - fore , bo two candidates , President Masse and General Garcia. General Garcia will have little chance with the civilians , but ho stands high with the men In the army. The Cuban constitution provides that only ; these persons In the army or those who ) have served In the army can vote , there fore , a lot ot boys 16 years of ago will be allowed to vote for Garcia , whereas , men who have not been In the army , but who prefer the conservatism of Masse , cannot ; vote for him. The next Cuban election will be held Just as Boon as tha seat of govern ment can get Into town to conduct an elec tion. tion."The "The present Cuban government , accord ing to the constitution , should bo dissolved on the evacuation of the island by the Span ish and a new election must bo held to elect o nicer s to frame a new constitution. There Is no disguising the fact that there Is lota of trouble ahead for the Cuban government and I honestly think there will bo many riots before tranquillity Is restored. The Cuban government promised to pay the sol diers , but as there ts no fund from which to pay them , It Is suggested now that tbo now constitution make no provision for paying them. In any event , it looks aa ) though the government of the Cuban re public In to see more stormy times. Pres ident Masse hopes to move the seat of gov ernment to Santiago and afterward to Havana. He is confident that the United States govcinmcnt will , as soon as prac ticable , turn the Island over to the Cubans for self-government. " REDUCTION OF ARMY FORCES Hume State Governor * !
