In the olden tmes the pre-circus-day
question was: ''Are jou going-
to the show?" Since the an
nouncement of the. coining" of the
John Robinson Greatest of. all
American .sbowssevgral weeks
ago, there has been .one query;
''Are you going to see the strong
man." IsTo feature ever adverfised
by a circus has ever taken such a
hold upon the popular fancy, and
when the show exhibits here next
Friday, May 20. ouis Cyr, whose
reputation "as the strongest man in
Ifee world hassostrikingly preceded
an ovation. But
is not the
only crreat attraction whtch this
superb show offers to its patrons
It is, in fact, a show xf all feat
ures, and the program is declared
by those who have seen the ex
hibition'lhis season, to be the most
meritorious circus
entertainment ever offered the
American pubjic Among the
features that.uttract special at-
tention are the iamous Harvey
family of acrobats; the Brothers
LaRole, who have been well
named the flying meteors; fjtbe
Miller Family of bicylists, who
perform many astonishing" feats
upon lue wneel, oesiaes iniroauc-
ng a series of amusing mnova
;ions for the entertainment of the
aughter-Ioving element in the
audience; a half score of great and
Famous riders, including Julia and
Cecil Lowande, William Dutton
and others equally meritorious;
and hundreds of other features
peculiar tojthis greatest of great
shows. Special attention is called
o the magnificent free street
parade, which inaugurates circus
day The woritlerful processional
display made by the John Robinson
show1 has surely never been
equalled any where on earth; it is a
continuous double-mile of glitter,
sheen and scintillating splendor.
t utilizes more people, exhibits
more elephants, presents a greater
number of high-class, magnifi
cently- caparisoned horses, and has
more distinctive novelties than any
display ever before offered the
discriminating American people,
and those who miss seeing it will
have something to regret all the
rest of their lives.

tlis Major is Ousted.
The Lincoln Journal of yesterday
morning- gave the following- account
ot the ousting- of Major Scharmann,
of this city, which shows ttat the
Maiorhas been the victim of the
machinations of the rotten pcliti
cal cut-throats who infest the state
house. The Journal says:
Maior Scharmann. no less than
his fiuendswas.astonished yester
day when his name appeared as one
of the officers disqualified by the
medical board because oE physical
disability, Investigating? the mat
ter he found that his rejection was-
as much of a surprise to the exam
ining board as it had been to him
self. The whole board vouched to
him for the fact that his name had
not been on the list of rejected ones
when it was sent to the governor.
The governor on being- inter
viewed admitted that the Major's
name had not been on the original
list, and said that he was sorry
that the mix-up had occurred.
The Major thinks that -politics
and a desire for office on the part of
parties who had a stronger pull
with the state administration than
he had were the cause ot his re
moval. If he must step down and
out he savs he can do it with a good
rrrirp Vi.tf sitot- rVtrrf tr liauinnr
it intimated that Ire is an invalid
when he is not.
Governor Holcom.b was asked
last night concerning the report
that he had put Major Scharmann's
name on the list of disabilities af
ter the examining board had re
ported favorably upon .his case.
Governor Holcomb said: "The list.
of disabilities was handed t me
and soon thereafter the list was
asked for by the board for correc
tion. When the list was returned
to me there were some names
erased and there were names
upon it that were not there before.
That is all I have to say in answer
to the report that I had admitted to
Major Scharman that his name was
placed on the list after it came into
my possession."
Major Koerper, United States
-surpfeon ot the xamininsr boarc,
refused to discuss the Scharmann
case tor publication. He said lie
could not talk of the board's work.

An Austrian's View.
An Austrian paper bearing the
date of April 27, recently received
by V. VonGoetz contains a great
many articles on the present war.
As Queen Isabella is an Austrian
it is but natural that Austria
should have but very little love for
the United States.
One very significant article is
headed "Highway Robbers." The
article states that the present war
was brought about entirely by the
money power in the United States.
It describes the speeches made
by the democrats and especially the
one made by JUentz criticising
President McKinley, as viewed
through Austrian eyes. In the
final summing up ot the article it
slates most emphatically that while
the present war is said by the
United States to" be for humanity's
sake it is in reality wagedQin the
interest .of Wall street and the
moneyed people are the only ones
who will profit by it.
In another article speaking of the
United States plan of camoaiern'in
the Philippine islands and the news
that has reached them that after
subdueing the Philippine islands,
the Asiatic squadron would sail for
home. The United States is
advised not to sell the bear fat
until the bear is caught. The
editor is of the opinion, that Dewey
may be whipped. .
The latter article makes rather
amusing reading now that the
tacts of Dawey's glorious victory
are known. He certainly canght
the bear. We can also afford to
laugh at the first article as it is so
manifestly false.

WAsKEsoroif, May 11. As a result of
m Spanish reverse at Manila, leading
- ' mt i - . a
mesDen oi tne aipiomatic corps, rep
xeeeatiag some of-the moat infiaeatial
of tie grtat powers of Earape have tm
officially exchanged views on the op
portunities of a movement, dictated by
the MoaC lnendly spirit and in the in
terac ot peace, toward urging upon
Spain the futility of further prosecut
ing thfr war : and inducing her to sue for
peace on the basis of the relinquish-
meat of Onba, the promise of a war in
denwity -and the occupation of Manila
by AimiraljDewey until the war in
denamry is paid. It -svas stated last
nighi by one of the, most influential
mesiDcrs oi the uipiomatw corps, aa
.ambassador, that sacli a step by Spain
waaihe .logical result of the 'crashing
Spawn defeat .at Manila and that
Spa cherself should be the first to
r;Qniae it as a measure of her own
selfrprbtection and self preservation.
The British ambassador and the Chi
nw minister havo called the ntteation
of the state department to the fact
that! 'they are unable to communicate
by mail -with their officers "by mail in
Onba and Porto Rico. JThis is. due to
the interruption of, the regular mail
routes between this country and Span-
ish.pbssessions.t It is embarrassing to
the British authorities as they have
need of communication by mail with
tha British consul at Havana. The
state.' department is anxious to afford
every, possible facility for communica
tion; mail ani telegraphic, bat it is not
clear'howit can bettor the disturbed
mail conditions between here ,and the

The German minister after Securing
credentials from the navy department,
has gone to Fort Monroe where he will
make observations of . Commodoro
Schley's flying squadron. Whilo the
department has given all naval at
taches full latitude, it has felt con
strained not to grant them permanent
facilities on board American ships, as
it is said that in time of war no gov
ernment permits foreign observers
aboard ships.

, Arseuic Found la n Creek.
vi-LANTA, Ga,, May 11. A special to
the Constitution from Mobile pays : A
second dastardly attempt to poison the
infantry regiments at Camp Mobile has
been made. Several days ago some
soldiers found in the creok which runs
alongside the grounds a sack filled with
absorbent cotton, which had been sat
urated, with arsenic and tied down be
neath a rock which jnts out into the
stream at a point just above tho placo
whero the soldiers got their drinking
water. By accident a, trooper discov
ered the deadly trap, removed the sack
a iid npon tho contents being revealed
reported his find to the commanding
officer. Strict orders were given not to
tuentfon the incident and so the matter
was hushed up?
Since that day, however, the creek
has been closely watched and vigilance
was rewarded when Corporal John
Sullivan of company A, Nineteenth in
fantry, found a poison bag loaded with
arsenic and anchored down just as in.
thc first instance. Tho correspondent
by chance overheard two soldiers talk
ing about the plot to poison them and
instituted an investigation. The offi
cers preferred not to discuss tho matter,
but among tho privates feeling is run
ning high and they do noi fail to ex
press themselves..
Spanish spies are known to be lurk
ing in the neighborhood, where a num
ber of Spaniards reside. They are all
under strict scrutiny and sensational
disclosures are looked for. No one
doubts that agents of Spain are re-

Guard Teasels.
Key West, May 10. The little tor
pedo boat Winslow yesterday precipi
tated the first naval engagement fought
in Cuban waters. On a reconnoissance
in Cardenas harbor she drew the fire of
three Spanish coast guard vessels, and
a lively vest pocket sea fight followed
with tho tiny gunboats. As the Wins
low was decidedly in the minority, the
gunboat Machias, which had been
called up by tho firing, took a hand in
the game "With her 4-inch rifles, and
tossed several shells over the low sand
pit behind which the Spanish boats,
were sheltered, but with what effect
could not bo seen. At any rate there
are three prospective additions to our
mosquito fleet bottled up in Cardenas
harbor. The Spaniards, as usual, hit
nothing but fhe adjacent scenery.

Washington, May 13. The coanw
who is on his way here with letters
from General Gomez to President
Palma qf the Cuban delS2tion, has
stopped at Tampa and will not reach
here for u day or two. General Nunez
of tho Cuban army, after conferring
with the Cuban authorities here and
with General Miles loft for Tampa last
night.1 Although the courier will bring
detailed advices from Gomez, the Cu
ban officials hero are well informed on
the general status of tho Cuban forces
in tho field, and this subject has bees
gone over fully with the war depart
ment officials. I& a geseralway it is
stated that entire harmony exists be
tween the Cuban authorities aad the
1 war departinent.ofncialB, as to the re
sources ana elective nghtisg lorco oi
Ucneral Gomes and General Garcia
The Cuban authorities. Are ready and
willing to have the full est co-operation
by the. United States troops on Cuban
soil and it is said there is no ground for
reports that General Gomez desires to
act singlehanded in securing Cuban in
dependence.
Concerning the strength of the Cuban
forces in the field the Cuban
representatives here say that at pros
ent advices fully bear ont all that the
Cuban authorities have claimed,
namely, that there are in all abont 40,
000 men either under arms or ready to
take arms as soon as guns and ammani
tion are at hand.. Of this number, ic is
said that about 15,000 lack arms and
equipment, leaving additional arnmu
nition "and sapplies would be most ad
vantagcous to these, latter.
The immediate command of Gomez
is said to number 3,000 men and is lo
cated in the rich Santa Clara district
Some distance away, in the province of
Santiago do Cuba, are the forces ol
General Garcia, the several bands oi
which are said to aggregate 15,000 men
The distance of Garcia from Gomez is
said to make a juncture betweon thorn
impracticable, as there are no means of
Bpeedy communication.
It is expected that lieutenant Bowan,
the United States officer who made the
daring and successful landing in Cuba
and proceeded inland to General Gar
cia's camp, will arrive at Key West
today. This doubtless will afford the
authorities here much more data on
the situation of the insurgents. It is
understood that Lieutenant Bowan
already has stated, whether by report
or otherwise is not known, that the
Unbans in ibreneral uarcia s district oc
cupy a number of towns vacated by the
Spanish and that the Cuban adminis
tration of these towns is in the hands
of "fine men." This last expression
gives special satisfaction to Cubans
here. They are hopeful that President
Masso will remain in the western prov
inces and be ready to come with his
cabinet to tho first large seaport city
that is occupied and there set up the
civil administration of the republic of
Cuba, It has beea understood feh&t he
intended to more-; kia kedqar4es -1 c
the eastern ea4-p- the- klaad,, where
military operations are not likely tc
occur, but this plan m likely to be
changed so as to keep him near the

who have been ordered to San Fran

Wyoming One regiment or infantry.

Kansas One regiment of infantry.
Montana One regiment of infantry.
Nebraska One regiment of infantry.
Utah Two batteries of light artil

North Dakota Two batallions of in

The governors of the states are in
formed that theseUropps should proceed
to the coast as soon as they were mus
tered, armed and equipped. If they
are not fully equipped but sufficiently
so to travel, the war department offic
ials suggest that it is best they go and
complete their equipment at San Francisco.
