Those fellows who fifteen months

Reformer Edmisten's
bill

for
railroad fare,
and which was paid
by the state, amounted
to $716.17.
But Edmisten did not pay: a cent
of railroad fare he rides on a pass,
just the same as do all sta te officials.
And this is what some people call
"reform."
Tse populist papers exhort their
readers not to allow war to distract
their attention from the icause o(
reform" in Nebraska. That
right. The present state; house

from Cieafuegos, Cuba, says. the Span
iards atthatplace attended the chant

church there in celebration of the
"news" circulated hy the Spanish gov

forces had been victorious at Manila.
When the'first "news" -was received, at
Cienfuegosfrom Madrid all the bells in
the city were rung, and General Pando
and his, staff, attended church in full
uniform. In addition a ration of wine
was served out to the soldiers, and,
though the American blockading ships
were outside the harbor, and meat was
costing 2 pesetas a pound, the city 'was
gay, and rejoiced at the announced
'success" of the Spanish army. Since
then, howover, ugly ramors of the de
feat of the Spaniards have been, in cir
culation, but "officially" Spain has won
'a victory" in the Philippine islands.

Xa fall View ef Ms b tin.
Hoso Koxg, May 16. The United
States dispatch boat McCulloch arrived
here Saturday from Manila with dis
patches for the United States govern
ment. She reports that the Spanish
guHboat Callao from the Caroline Lu
ands entered the bay of Manila being
ignorant of the outbreak of hostilities
between Spain and the United States.
An American warship fired across her
bows and signalled a demand for her
surrender. The demand being disro
garded, the Amorican ship, fired direct
at the Spanish gunboat and the latter
surrendered.
The population of Manila, is reduced
to eating horseflesh and the prospect of
relief seems far distant.
The Hugh McCulloch also reports
that the Philippine insurgents applied
to near Admiral .Dewey lor bis ap
proval of an attack by them on the
city. The admiral, it appears, ap
proved of the plan, provided, no ox
cesses were committed. Tne insur
gents then pleaded that they hatf no
arms with the exception of machetes
to which the real admiral said :
"Help yourselves at, the Cavito ar
senal." The city has not yet been attacked.
About 5,000 Spanish troops aro guard
ing the road leading from Cavite to
Manila.
Ther is no truth in the reported
massacre of a number of Americans.
After the Callao's crew landed they
were released on parolo and the Calla 3
was paraded in full view of Manila
city, accompanied by the United States
gunboat Concord. When Mr. Williams,
the American consul, .landed at Cavite
last week, he was received with great
enthusiasm and followed in tho streots
by a crowd of 2,(00 people shouting

two hours before sundown Saturday
night attempted to execute a ruse,
"which, if successful, would have clcarcd
the front of six of, the blockading ships.
Unable to come outside to do this, he
adopted tlio tactics of the spider and
tho fly, and although a pretty scheme
as an' original proposition, it was prac
tically a repetition of the trick by
which the gunboat Vicksburg and the
little converted revenue cutter Morrill
were last week decoyed by a fishing
smack under the big Krupp guns of
Santa Clara batteries. It was due to
bad gunnery and both ships managed
to get out of range witbout being sunk
with some of the shells bursting close
Late Saturday afternoon the ships on
the Havana station were dumfounded
to gee two ships steam out of Havana
harbor and go eastward. By aid of
'glasses Commander Lilly of the May
flower, which was flying the pennant
made out tho larger vessel of the two,
wbicn was about zuo leet long and
about 4,500 tons displacement, to be. the
Alfonso XIU, aud the smaller one to be
tho gunboat Le Gaspi, both of which
were known to be bottled in Havana
harbor. At first ho supposed they were
taking the advantago of the' heavy
fighting ships and were making a bona
fide run for the open sea. As superior
officer he immediately signalled the
other ships -on the station, the Ticks
burg, Annapolis, Wasp, Tecumseh and
Osceola, to form an attacking column
with gunboats on the right flank. The
little squadron moved in obliquely
toward tho fleeing Spaniards, keeping
up a running fire as they went.
The Alfonso and her consort circled
inBnore about nve miles below and
after running in for half an hour
headed back to Morro castle. Our gun
boats and thin skinned vessels of the
mosquito fleet did not follow them in,
Commander Lilly saw that the wily
bpamsn ru3e was to draw them in un
der the fire of the heavy batteries.

on Admiral Co rv era's movements since

pears that he headed for St. Pierre
Miquelon, on the coast of Newfound

him. There colliers from Sydney
were met and the Spanish fleet coaled.
Admiral Cervera's instructions then
wore to raid. Portlandj.Boston and New
port, and if Bear ' Admiral Sampson,
bombarded Havana, to draw him off.
The news from Manila seeru3 to havo
changed the plans. Tho nest proposed
move was to decoy Bear Admiral
Sampson to Porto Rico and then, sail
rapidly for Havana and destroy the few
ships left there. Finally, should Ad
miral Cervera, on reaching Santiago de
Cuba, learn, that two American, squad
rons' were coming to meet him, thus
leaving the sea free, his plan would bo
to avoid them, sail straight for Charles
