With the mercury close to the century
point yesterday Omaha people preferred the
quiet of their homes to the exposition or
any other place ot amusement. As a tcsult
of this torrid condition ot the weather the
exposition attendance was unusually light
during the morning and afternoon , but after
the Bun disappeared and the breeze of e\da-
Ing sprang up the earn running to the
grounds \\cro loaded with passengers.
u The usunl sacred concert was ghc In
Itho Auditorium durln the afternoon , but
flhcroM scarcely anyone present to listen
to the music. In the c\cnlng a concert was
given on the plaza , which was well at
tended , the reserved Beat section being com
fortably filled. As night came on and the
Midway took on Its accustomed life , people
corned to prlng up from c\orywhere and
from that until nearly midnight the streets
rcfioundcd with the -voice of the spicier and
the merry laugh of the visitors.
oniclaln of the exposition for once turned
the running of the show over to the em
ployes , preferlng to remain nt homo In
stead of sitting In the hot offices , footing
long column ! ! of figures and striking bal

During the morning hours the streeta
of tho'Midway ' were aa quiet as those In the
residence portion of the city. Now and
then some party , attired in fine raiment ,
would step out of some side door , take a
look around and return. Shortly after 10
o'clock a curious procession wended Its way
to the streets of Carlo. There vvero men
and women of all nations , freaks of about
every kind , nnd they were all bent on one
purpose , that of attending divine worship.
All the roads terminated at the Streets of
Cairo , ns that was the place where the f > erv-
Icea vvero held. A regular priest. Rev.
Aboud , was In attendance there , and about
him he gathered at least COO persons , who
listened to the expounding of the gospel.
In addition to the Christian services , there
was preaching by a Druse priest and a Mo
hammedan. All had good sired congrega
tions , and all seemed to appreciate the
cervices
On the ( Midway none of the shows at
\ tempted to do 'business ' until evening , the
day 'being ' devoted to rest. At night , however -
over , business was lively and there was
nothing to indicate that It was the close of
the Lord's day , asldo from the tones of the
church ibells calling worshipers to their
evening1 prayers.

Kven while It was the hottest during the
day. It was cool up nt the point reached by
the Giant Seesaw. The car reached a
height of nearly 300 feet , and up there there
was a strong current of air , fully 25 degress
cooler than the temperature on the street
below' .
While It was hot. If ono stood or walked
about , a ride was taken on the Bcenlo
railroad , there the patron experienced a
delightfully cool breeze , duo to the fact
that the cars were whirled UD nnd down
the hills nnd through the tunnels at a rate
of speed exceeding thirty mllcfi per hour.
The weather was too warm for the con

effort did the girls make to pose until after

that hot weather Is Injurious to good looks.
There was one Individual who did not care
whether the wind blew hot or cold , and
that was the deep sea diver. He worked
up and down In his tank of clear water , re

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
The opening of Ihe grass callle season al
ways causes moro or less speculallon as to
Iho course values will lake as Ihe season ad
vances At present It Is staled by those In
terested in live stock that a great deal now
depends upon the demand for feeders. l''or
B number of jears feeder buyers have been
taking Ihe bulk of young western grass cat
tle , nnd In many cases have outbid the pack
ers on herds ot range steers that were al
ready fat and ready for the block. It is
thought that with keen competition between
killers and buyers values are bound to be
higher during the remainder ot the summer
and fall.
At present there Is every evidence of n
shortage of first-class corn-fed cattle , and the
market for beef steers Is In n modi healthy
condition. Commission men say lhat a gooi ,
strong catllo market and prospects of con
tinued strength mean a great deal to tbo
prospective feeder buyer and encourage him
to pay good prices and take chances he ordl-
uarlly would bo unwilling to take. Under
the head ot feeders it Is said there
Is so much corn in sight that If it
were fcent to market the price
would drop way below the cost of produc
tion. In order to utilize the corn crop the
farmer in compelled to feed It to hogs and
cattle , and thus secure a good pi Ice for his
product. In past years the states of Ne
braska , Iowa , Kansas , Missouri and Illinois
have taken nearly all the stockers and feed
ers that have been sold on this market. This
yc&r will be no exception to the rule , as the
b'lg crop of corn will bo an Incentive to the
feeding of cattle and hogs.
Estimates have been made of the corn crop
In the five big feeding states and the total
runs up to over 1,000,000,000 bushels. For
this year the estimated crop Is Nebiaska ,
281,356,000 bushels , Kansas , 301,350,000 butli-
cls ; Iowa , 217,270,000 bushels ; Illinois , 200-
151,000 bushels ; Missouri , 17,866,000 bushels.
Total , 1,179,860,000 bushels.
Last year these five states furnlbhcd 47 per
cent of the corn raised In the country , and it
Is expected that this year they will produce
68 per cent of the nation's crop. In 1898 these
states fed moro western range cattle than
ever before , and this ) ear the feeding will be
Increased fully 20 per cent.

WASHINGTON . July 23. Secretary Algcv
has aluajfl felt n pardonable pride In the suc
cess with which the War department met
the tremendous problem thrust upon It by
the necessity wltli which It was confronted
during the war with Spain of suddenly dis
posing ot the thousands ot Spanish prteonois
captured In Santiago province. The history
of that time has not bi-on fully told and It
remained for Secretary Algcr today to supply
the need by the following bit-of reminis
cence.
"On the night of July 9 , 1SOS , tlio president
asked mo what , In my Judgment , wo should
do with the Spanish prisoners of Santiago
after their capture. The matter had received
very much thought from the president and
inself , but no definite conclusion dad been
reached. 1 then suggested to the president
that Galveston , Tex. , would bo the Gest place
In the United States , In my judgment , where
wo could send them ; that It was away from
the coast line travel , n good harbor , that
theio would bo plenty of room for camping
them and that Its cllmato would bo as nnarly
similar to that of Santiago as wo could prob
ably select. This seemed to meet his ap
proval , as It was only n question of tlmo
when their capture would bo effected.
" 1 went to my home , as nearly as I can
remember , about 2 o'clock In the morning ,
and being too tired to sleep I lay awake for
a while , but finally dozed off. I awoke at
dabreak and my first thought waa concern
ing the Spanish prisoners and the new Idea
cama Into my liead , 'Why not send them
back to Spain. ' This thought so deeply Im
pressed mo that I formulated my plan nnd
on the morning of July 10 , Instead ot going
to the department direct , I went to the White
house and laid the now plan before the pres
ident , saying that It would be an unprece
dented procedure and a most gracious act ;
that to transport the prisoners to Galvcston
would bo linlt the distance ; that wo should
have to clothe , shelter , guard nnd feed them
there and no doubt have to ship them back
to Spain In the end. I also stated that I be
lieved that It would bo a great inducement to
the Spaniards to surrender , which General
Shatter afterward assured me was the effect.
The president readily approved the plan and
on the same day 1 cabfed General Shafter as
follows :
"WAR DEPARTMENT , July 10 , 3898.
General Shatter , Plnja Del Este , Santiago ,
Cuba : Should the Spaniards surrender un
conditionally nnd wish to return to Spain ,
they will be sent back direct nt the expense
of the United States government.
"R. A. ALGER , Secretary ot War.
"Upon receiving this on July 11 General
Shatter sent the following communication
to the commandcr-ln-chlef of the Spanish
forces :
Oder of I'tiMfliiKe Home.
"HEADQUARTERS FIFTH ARMY
CORPS , CAMP NEAR SANTIAGO DR
CUBA , July 11. Sir : With the largely in
creased forces which have come to me and
the fact that I have your fine of retreat
securely In my hands , the tlmo seems fit
ting that I should again demand of your
excellency the surrender of'Sabtlago and of
your excellences army. 1 am authorized testate
state that should your excellency so deslie
the government of the United States will
transport the entire command ot your ex
cellency to Spain.
"I have the honor to be , very respect
fully , your obedient servant.
"WILLIAM R. SHAPTER ,
"Major General , Commanding.
"To which the commander replied as fol
lows :
"SANTIAGO DE CUBA. Jury 11. Sir : I
hnvo the honor to advise your eminence
that your communication of this date Is
received and In reply desire to confirm that
which I said in my former communication ;
also to ndvlso you that I have communicated
} our proposition to the genoral-in-chlcf.
"Reiterating my sentiments , I am , very
respectfully , your servant.
"JOSE TORAL ,
"Commnndpr-ln-Chlef , Fourth Corps , and
Military Governor of Santiago.
"Immediately upon the surrender steps
were taken to carry out the pledges of the
United States government to ship the Span-
lards home. The quartermaster's depart
ment Immediately advertised for bids to
transport the prisoners to Spain , with the
result that eight of the ocean transportation
companies submitted a combined bid , which
was : Tor officers , $110 , and for enlisted men ,
$35 per capita , steamers to bo dispatched
from Santiago do Cuba within forty-eight
hours of their reported arrival , or demur
rage to bo paid at the rate of 60 cents per
capita per day ; same demurrage to be paid
at the rate of 60 cents per capita per day ;
same demurrage to be paid If steamers bo
detained at place of debarkation by quar
antine or other causes.
Spaniard * Arc Iiow Ulildorn.
"The Spanish Transatlantic company's
bid was $55 per capita for officers and $20
for enlisted men , with no demurrage. The
Spanish company's offer was accepted , The

HAVANA. July 23 The commission of
prominent Cuban lawyers appointed by Gen
eral Ludlow to decide upon and report as
to the besl mclhods lo be adopted for check
ing public gambling reccnlly made n com
plete icport , which was refcncd lo Maor
Lacosrtc.
II teems that the old Spanish law was
perfectly able to cope with the entire mat
ter , but lhat It was rntely enforced , owing
to the largo revenue received by the gov
ernment for hospitals and other charitable
Instllullons from Iho proprlelors of the gam
bling establishments. Occasionally the gov
ernors would enforce the law and all gam
bling would slop for a few monlhs. oniy lo
break out again nnd bo carried on with more
freedom than before.
The commlllco recognizes the fact that
gambling has now usuimcd proportions
which It Is desirable to check and sets forlb
In ils report that the Spanish law only re
quires the co-operallon of Ihe police lo bring
about the desired reform , but General Lud
low , the military governor , Insists that the
fault is not with the police , who on sev
eral occasions have made arrests and seized
gambling outflls , only to have Iho Judges
quash the proceedings and return the out
fits to their owners.
The comrnitleo suggests police Interfer
ence , partlculaily wllh a certain class of
clubs , so-called , which are mcro gambling
dens and aio frequenlcd by many persons.
It does , not consider , however , lhat It would
1)0 advisable to Interfere with the legiti
mate clubs , where vvhlst and other games
are played merely ns n pnstlme , but only
with those which are run ns gambling re
sorts and for the profit only of professional
gamblers.
Generat Ludlow referred the report to
Senor Lacoste , who Is enthusiastic In his
desire to suppress the evil , believing that It
has a bad effect on tbo morals of the citi
zens. The mayor declares that ho will ex
ercise lo the fullest the powers vested in
him. Consequently It Is expected that manv
arrcsU will shorlly bo made , not only of
the native gamblers , but of others who are
In the field with Iho sole object ot fleecing
Americans.
Many gamblers with unsavory records are
In the city , among them being Americans ,
Mexicans nnd men of other nationalities.
If the judges do their duly It Is expected
that the city will shortly bo purified.

Mr Howard saja that crowds of Industrial
persons como to the farms nt da } light nnd
beg foi n day's work. None of them beg
for food nnd never nsk for It without expressing -
pressing a dcslro to pay for It by working.
Mr. Howard also sas thai numerous small
farmers In Iho neighborhood nro nnxlous lo
obtain loans for Iho purchase of animals
nnd Implements with which to resume tha
cultivation of their fluids , offering to pay
for such loans nt the rate of 12 per cent.
According to Air. Howard many who np-
plled to General Wilson for assistance have
been referred to him. General Wilson Is
a great friend and helper of the fund and la
strongly In favor of aiding with cattle and
agi ( cultural implements the email farmers.
It was at his instigation that Governor
Brooke iccently called a meeting of all tha
governors of the province to take acllon It )
Iho matter. All except General Wilson ob
jected to Iho plan piopoted , believing that
It savored too much of paternalism.
Several alleged counterfeiters hnvo "been
nncstcd on Iho charge of Issuing spurious
silver dollars. The coins , which , It Is as
set ted , were made by Ihe prisoners , were
produced by primitive methods , being caot
In plaster of parls molds.
The local papers unanimously complain
of Mayor Lacosle's order directing the clod-
Ing of the stores nt S o'clock In the evening.
Owing to the intenho heat which prevails
In the afternoons the women , the papers aa-
