LINCOLN , Nov. tn. ( Special. ) The gloom that hag surrounded the popocratlc htate hcadquartcrb since 10 o'clock Tuesday night Is lightened onlv a little by the news ttils afternoon which Insutrs the election of J'oynter b > a small majuilty. The loss of Hie legislature nnd the certainty that n re publican will succeed Allen In the United States senate lit a sad blow to many of them , nd the realization that the pop cratlc cam paign has been a failure vvorrlcs all of them. Chairman Uaflln was feeling good because of the chance for the election of Povnter. nnd It was hlntc-d that ho had shed no tears on account of the bad ending of the Allen cam paign. The legislative purl of the ticket was lo kcd after by IMmlsten and n crowd of Imlpcra , all of whom wetc antagonistic to Galllu , and who did what they could to dc- prlvo him of the ( rcdlt of being the state chairman , of the populist party und G illlu ean hardly be blamed now for taking an occasional laugh over the defeat of Allen. At the state house there Is no sign of re joicing among the patriots. They realize that the whole matter hangs In the balance and that the official count may mow them down. There In also the acknowledgment that the Ktato administration has not been sustained and tint the officials have vir tually been repudiated. Land Commissioner Wolfe was heard to say : "Well , this settles one thing , The pcuplo ot this state dou't want an honest government. " In the cam paign ho claimed all the credit for the taxes paid In by the people and now tit the close of the campaign ho blamed the same people for not sustaining him In the egotistical claims. Similar expre-ssloija come from other officials and deputies , Indicating the deep disappointment of the men who attempted to fool the Intelligent people of the stale with a mass of juggled figures. ItepulillcanH 1'ecl ( iooil. At the hcadquartcis of the republican tuto committee there was much reason foi lejolclng. The returns today Indicated thai Poynter would have less than 1,200 , If ho Is fleeted at all , and tint the slightest defec tion on any poioeratlc candidate on the Mate ticket would mean a republican sue- ressorf The news thit the legislature Is snfcly republican was confirmed during th day and wao conceded by the popocrnli the only question being the size of the ma jority on joint billot. The compilation o' the returns und the canvass of the vet < will bo watchetl with much ctro and It b believed that any tampering with the olllcla billets will bo made Impossible. This vlgb lant scrutiny of the whole proceeding I' riecefsiry because the popocrats are alreadj on record as having juggled with the ballot' during the progress of the recount scheme mill with having opened the returns In 18V contrary to Hw. The stealing of the seati of the Douglas county members In , the las legislature Is also fresh in the public mlm and this record fully juUlfies the utmos watchfulnen on the pirt of the public t 8co that the will of the voters Is carrlei out. out.Ono Ono of the most gratlfvlng features of th campaign Is the fact that the most blatan of the sham reformers were repudiated b > their immediate constituents at home. Cua ter county , the home of Holcomb , went t : pieces. Richardson showed Its feeling fo Cornell and his colony of deputies by jump ing back Into the republican column "Rcc Willow failed to compliment Meservo am went generally republican ; a revolutloi took place In Merrlck , the homo of Porter Wolfe failed to bring Lancaster Into line Jackson lost heavily In Holt ; Mutz am Bcil , the managers of the "snlfning com rnlttee , " vvlt\ their family s > ndlcatea o urplus reducers , vvero repudiated ; an Wheeler of Furnas , another ono of the In rostlgators , will always view the return from his homo county with fear and trem bllng , realizing as he docs that the peopl know just what a fraud the Invcstlgatin committee really was. The election of a republican leglslatur not only Insures a republican United State B ° nator but It gives the republican party chance to carry out some needed reform In the way of knocking out the secretary Fhlps of iho State Hoard of Transportatlor and In making a precedent for real econom In the matter of employes of the leglslatur and of other department dependent upo legislative appropriation for official salarlei There la no doubt that the republican part of the state knows tbo trend of publics sen tlment on these questions and that the set ition of 1S99 will be ono of real rcfon brought about In a businesslike wa > .

StrnteKlc Valueitollril lij Amerlcui Ami } OflleerN. What Is known as the "block house svs torn , " started throughout neaily the whole o id Cuba by the Spaniards In the beginning o the present tiouble with the insurgent : called forth the admiration and unstlnte , praise of the most experienced ofllccrs of on army , particularly those who were strategl enough to note the care with which thes hastllv constructed forts had been placed. I V.UM a revelation to many of us , eiys a cor respondent of the San Francisco Chronicle to note the military Keenness of the SpanUl officers who had the work In charge. Every straight path we rounded Into an evciy trail our men entered In the provlnc of Santiago do Cuba was found to bo com ' manded at Its extreme end by one of thea block houses , perched on a height overlcok Ing the whole line of advance. Had th Spaniards been possessed of sufficient cour one to have occupied and attempted to hoi nil their block houses situated betwce , : Siboncy and Santiago our advance won ! ' i have Involved a much greater loss of llf [ nnd time , rortunatclv moat of them wer kt , vacated before we reached them. Owing to the peculiar style of "fighting us carried on by the Cubans this blok houa el system was found to be tha beat , and , I fact , the only way of successfully prevent Ing the Insurgent advances and checkln \y their depredations. If once a small body r yml men came down from their caves In the fill ad to u road the } were practically ? t 'he mere of the Spantirds. Hetreat along the pa * ' rt would bring them under thu guns of auothf block house ; a dash up tbo hills on clthc side of the road would also have been Im potent because every movement of such a nature would be covered from ono of the two forts. I The Spaniards found that the greatest difficulty In the malnlcnnne * of these . bloik houses waS In keeping the men who occupied them supplied with food and am- nunltlon. The ammunition Itself came In imall quantities on various ships and was llstrlbutcd every few weeks. In getting mterlal to the flcattercd block bounce the [ reatett danger was run continually , half n lozen Spanlah soldiers probably forming ho role convoy for a great quantity of sup- illes. The Cubans watched for these icrlodlcal visits and often made short work if the carriers. While the block house has been described is a lookout. It Is In reality n fort of no nean strength when combated only by Ides. To artillery , of course , euch a itruclure would be a mere mouthful ; but In Uthstandlng rlflo phots nnd In carrying nit the purpose for which It was built [ .here can be no question of the great value it must have ptovcd to the Spaniards. These forts generally range from fourteen o eighteen feet square and are built to a Ulght of twcntv-Bl\ feet of the heaviest > el- low pine timber obtainable , backed In most cases with old boiler-plate metal. The main loam Is twelve feet high , with Its floor sunk four feet below , along a silt flush with the outside stonework. This silt ls generally from three to four Inches wide , ind through It the Spanish soldiers pointed dielr rifles In every direction. The upper room , perched on top of the lower roof In Chinese pagoda fashion. wa used more for lookout purposes , but It waa arso pro- vlded with a silt similar to that below which , when occasion demanded , could be also used for firing purposes. which the Insurgents In parts of the country surgents were known to occupy In numbers a block house contained from twenty-four sides of the lower to thirty men. The four chamber each hold six firing stalls , some what similar In build to the stations used at rifle competitions in our own country. But generally sixteen men formed the sole- force of each of these forts. SUPREME COURT SYLLABI 8S16. Gndsden against" Thriibh. Appeal from Dodge county. Kover ed.

PARIS NEWSPAPERS MEDDLE Speak Without Wisdom Begarding Session of Peace Conference , FIND FAULT WITH THE AMERICANS Conjnrc Up nn ImnKlnnrj ( Irlcvnncc AVlili-li ( lie Siniilnriln Tlirnmcl Mo > ot Pool HcuiirillitK Iti-iily. PAIUS. Nov. 10. The nevvKpapeis of this city , regarding jcstcrdav's peace meeting , seem to have gathered from yimo source or other the Impression that the Spanish com missioners have cause for complaint ngaltif-t the Americans because the latter prc"vnted their replies to the Spanish proposals In English , and without Spanish translation of the document. Theio Is no basis for com- pfalnt on the Mibject. The president of the Spanish commission , Montero Klos , and Judge Day , the preMilent of the American conunlswlon , agreed that , owing to the length of the ducumcnt , nil concerned might bo spired the reading of matter which Is usually translated In writ- ng Into Spanlfh for the bcncllt of Scnor Monttio llloa and the two members of the Spanish commission , who do not understand iCngllsh. Each side up to the present has made Its own written transitions , but the Arnericnr.s alone have supplied an Inter preter , Instead of the Spaniards furnishing an Interpreter for their own UBCY nt they night have been expected to do. The Amer ican Interpreter Is Arthur Kcrgujon , ant the Spaniards have marveled at the facility with which ho did his work. They have never once checked him or corrected him In the slightest degree. In view of the facts In the case , eomo o the references In Paris newspapers this morning are Interesting. Regarding jester- day's meeting , the Figaro save : "Tho Amer ican commissioners contented themselves with producing a long memorandum In Eng lish. After having deposited thlH upon the table they left the task of translating It to the Spanlth commissioners , apoi'ogUlng courteous ! ) for Us length and the difficulties of translation. They then retired. The situation then , nt present , Is as follov.s : The Americana persist In refusing to take over the Cuban debt and exact the cession of the Philippines The Spaniards on their side refute to cede the arclilpolago. " The Petit lllcu says : "All diplomatic forms wote outraged by the Americana at ycstei day's sitting. U Is customary In such cares to read the memorandum pre sented to the other side. The Americans however , contented themselves with throwIng - Ing It , written In English , upon the table. " Continuing , the Petit Illeu says : "A member of the Spanish committee has re marked that his colleagues can never admit the claims of America In regard to the Philippines. The protocol sajs the treaty of peace shall determine the disposition and control of the Philippines , and the Ameri cans now claim that 'disposition' means that the colony shall bo surrendered to America. This Spain can never permit. " The Petit Bleu expresses Its belief In an early rupture of the negotiations The Itappcl savs"A Spanish commis sioner has declared that the Spaniards will yield only to force In the iiucstlou of th < Philippines. " Continuing , the Rappel as serts that It anticipates the rupture of the negotiations at an early date , adding : "The country which started out as the llberatoi of Cuba now threatens war , although It ! demands as to Cuba have been acceder to , because It cannot annex territory whlcl played no part In the bringing on of the . war. We preferred the liberator ot Cube to the * oppressor of Spain. " The Gaulolti presents a long argument In favor of Spanl h retention ofthe _ _ Philippine Islands , sa > lng , among othfr things" , tbat the' Spaniards refuse absolutely to adroit even In principle the cession of authority In the.- Philippine Islands , adding that the outcome Is likely to be a rupture of the ne gotiations , followed by the occupation ot the Philippine islands by the American troopF. As a final argument the Gaulols Intimates that there might bo a possibility of Euro pean Intervention , although the papei double if there will be such action In view of the dlffeiencES which divide France Great Diltaln and Russia. Germany alone- according to theGaulols , seems disposed to offer aid to Spain , Having : The expected arrival of Emperor Wil liam at Cadiz and his probable visit to the queen regent are sufficiently significant in dications of his friendly disposition t ; Spain.
