PRESENTATION OF A HANDSOME FLAG
A iile I. lot of III Ottlcftra anil Mftin

hraaka Volunteer
Infantry.
Our fiallant i)o;i.
Company 11, Third Nebraska Volun
teer infantry, is ow fully organized
and is assembled In this city, where
from two to three hours1 hard drill is
Indulged in each morning and even
In.
To say thai the company ia composed
of a fine looking lot of young men
la to put it. too mild. There will not
Lh a finer appearing company of sol
diers in the entire army than the one
Bent out from this county.
The wonderful quickness with which
the boys are. learning the movements
and the- meaning of commands, and
the proficiency witli which they ex
ecute the different evolutions reflects
the highest credit upon the officers and
men, and excites the wonder and ad
miration of the old soldiers.
There is every reason to believe that
Company I!, which latest advices seem
to indicate will go to assist in taking
llavarn, will come back to old Cass
with "glory" written on its banner,
for every nun from the captain down
to the last private seems to be bubbling
over with enthusiam and anxiety to
go to the front and do battle for his
country, and to chase through showers
of shot and shell the elusive goddess
Fame."
The citizens of Flattsmouth,to show
their appreciation of the spirit of pa
triotism which prompts the members
of the company have purchased one of
the handsomest silk Hags ever manu
factured, and it will be presented to
the loys thin evening. The Hag is
strictly IJ. S. regulation, the size four
tet four inches wide and five feet six
inches long, made of lest quality im
toii.eu iUg ana, the blue tieid bearing
fortj-tive white embroidered stars (on
both .Hides.) The three sides of the
(lag are trimmed with line quality gold
colored silk fringe, and a handsome
set of silk cords and tassels are sus
pended from the staff. The pole is
jointed and surmounted by a regula
tion gold plated epear head. A bolster
for carrying ir, and an oil cloth cover
go witli it- The money wherewith to
purchase the Hag was raised by volun
tar contributions.
The following is the program which
wi t be carried out:
The company will occupy the eide
wa" on Main street in front of the
court house at 7:30, !ft resting on
Fourth street.
The old soldiers of other wars who
wish to take part in the exercises will
form on sidewalk on Fourth street
promptly at ":.").
Ilon.S. M. Chapman will make the
presentation speech, startling on the
bank in front of the company. On his
riirht will be the county officials and
the choir, and on the left the city clli -ci
lis arid the band.

130,000,000.
INDEPENDENCE IS DECLARED.
Chicago, June 21. (Special.) A
special cable today to the Record from
John T. McCutcheson, a staff corres -pondent
with Dewey's llaet,' reads as
follows:
Hong Kong, June 20. General Fel
ipino officially proclaimed a provis
ional government in old Cavite, June
12. There were great ceremonies and
a declaration of independence was
read renouncing Spanish authority.
General Aguinaldo was elected
president and Daniel Firondo vice
president.
The insurgents' government will not
oppose an American protectorate or
occupation.
The rebels have captured the Span
ish governor and the garrison of 300
men at Hulucan.
- The governor an 1 garrison at Fam

WILL TEST THE nOLLAND.
Washington, June 21. (Special.)
Lieutenant Commander William- W.
Kimball, commander of the torpedo
flotilla of the United States navy, has
written to the navy department as fol
lows: "Send the Holland submarine boat
to Santiago and I will take her, with a
volunteer crew and clear the harbor of
ships and mines."
Mr. Kimball is one of the ablest men
in the navy and one of the acknowl
edged authorities on torpedoes, torpedo
plants and the use of high explosives
in warfare.
It is probable that the navy depart
ment may order an official test of the
Holland boat to determine her adapt
ability for such an enterprise.

ICdhou JoL'K&Ar l saw my name
in great big If llsrsa few das ago in
your paper, all Localise it was a little
news from tba uVmy. I thought you
could digest a. fee dote items about
the Nebraska r element. in camp hare,
sol went overl -0mp UicLmond
about ten days 'Tc look "them up
and see a few oM acquaintances. 1
didn't have to enquire very much, for
everybody 80fcm;'d to know the 2se
braskans; they w ere one of the popular
regiments while in camp here.
The first man from Plaltstnouth I
saw was Frauk Johnson. He was sit
tin? on a sack o?" potatoes' picking a
blister on his hel with his bayonet. I
asked him what the trouble was, and
he said he had jt . 'I hid three hours'
drill. I gave hirii a receipt which the
cavalry boys use, only we don't have
the blisters on our feet.
The next man was Guy Livingston.
He seemed to ha"o broken one of the
ten commandments and was sentenced
to feed the colt'Ofl's poll-parrot on
crackers and cheese. The parrot was
getting punished for cussing the
major. 1 noticed that Guy ate most of
tho crackers a.nd cheese.
The next man vas Fry. The doctor
was using a slornacb pump on him.
The Red Cross ladies had been around
and donated a lot of pies and Fry was
put in charge of them. He ate four
teen of them and swelled up like a
toad. Naturally the doctor thought
he was poisoned and so pumped him
out. The boys have sentenced him to
be thrown up in a blanket twenty
times, aud to eat his hash in the morn
ing without the tools.
Charley Searh was next; he had
been out the nigljt before and was so
sea-sick he could not be interviewed.
He had eight empty bottles for a pil
low. Kerr was walking his post in a mili
tary manner, letting r.o one pass hi3
iine except the girls, and there were
plenty of them.
Traver was oa pass taking in the
sights down in :'I;e sportv city.
Livingston got to eating the govern
ment "fricasse iu full dress," but the
other day he got a hair from the red
headed cook in the crust, and now he
gags when he sees that military dish.
Johnson can eat potatoes "in heavy
marching order," and bacon and cab
bage better than Fat Tevan" ever
thought of eating, but they say Searle
has a great face for "plum duff," the
kind the army lads make, with brandy
sauce.
The other boys' stomachs are in the
best of order, always promptly on hand
when the mess call blows.
On the 14th the regiment broke
and marched down the main streets
to the docks, where the steamship Sen
ator was in waiting to receive them.
The San Francisco people gave them
a great send-off, the streets being
jammed. The Red Cross gave them a
big feast before they embarked, which
is something they do to all regiments
that leave. That evening they slept
on board the Senator and tomorrow
the transport leaves. Today the trans
ports all leave the shore and docks,
and the wharf is crowded with people
to bid them good bye. They pass Ft
Mann, where one gun is fired for a
good bye; then they p3ss the Fresidio,
where all the soldiers from the Fourth
cavalry are lined up along the shore to
bid them good bye; they then pass Ft.
Foint, where a brigadier's salute is
fired for the brigadier in command of
the transports, and at last they pass
out through the Golden Gate, and the
boys all seem to take a long, last look
and wave their hats for the last time,
for a while at least, and that js the
last of the Nebraska regiment in Cal
ifornia. They will have fed many a hungry
fisb ere this, for Johnson was sea-sick
as soon as he struck the docks may be
it was love-sick, for I saw him showing
a pretty girl around the camp. He
told me it was his aunt, but she waB
only sixteen years old, and I couldn't
believe it was his aunt. Maybe he
meant it waa bis neice. The other
boys weren't a bit behind him. Liv
ingston seemed to have acquired a
mania for girls since he struck Cali
fornia, for when he left here for Ne
braska'tnere were six girls at the train
to see him off, and he kissed all of
them, and he can't deny it.

FIUST EXPEDITION ARRIVES.
IIono Kono, June 21. Special )
There is no doubt that reinforcements
reached Admiral Dewey either last
Tuesday evening or Wednesday. The
first Manila expedition from San Fran
cisco was due to arrive June 14, and
advices which have reached here indi
cate that the ships were on time.
The steamer Yuen Sang ai rived here
from Manila yesterday, bringing refu
gees. Her captain reports that ou last
Tuesday be sighted a large steamer
seventy miles out from Manila. His
description of the vessel leaves no
doubt that she was the City of l'ekin
of the American fleet. The steamers
City of Sydney, the Australia and the
cruiser Charleston were probably not
far away.
This is the first expedition to reach
Admiral Dewey, and its arrival has
strengthened him greatly. The fleet
carried 2,500 good fighting men, be
sides gnns, provisions and Btores. The
cruiser Charleston is a formidable ad
tition to the American fleet, and she
was loaded down with powder, shot
and shall.
J3rigadier General Anderson, U. S.
A., was in command of the relief ex
pedition, and'his men were divided
among the ships as follows: City of
l'ekin, 1,034; City of Sydney, 743, and
Australia 700. The cruiser Charleston
carries 300 men and officers.
The Yuen Sang reports that on the
day before her departure, June 13,
there were frequent skirmishes al the
Spanish outposts near Manila. On the
12th a native regiment repelled a force
of rebels .r CaM.-rr: ,kn?iaar.a 3crruit
and severely wounding a lieutenant.
A jative regiment stationed in ad
vanee of the Spaniards in the fighting
that took place on June 13 mutinied
ank killed a sergeant.
When the Yuen Sang sailed from
Manila the rebels were within a quar
ter of a mile of the city. The Ameri
can reinforcements were momentarily
expected to arrive.
FRIGHTENED TI1 SPANIARDS.
Manila Bay, Junel7. (vi. Hong
Kong and Fans, June 21.) Admiral
Dewey still has the power to throw the
Spaniads into a fit by the mere intima
tion that he .intends to attack them.
Last Tuesday a report was received
that they intended making a torpedo
attack against the fleet. A half gale
was blowing at the time, and this gave
them great' weather advantages, but
Admiral Dewey sent the Concord and
Calao to forestall any such movement.
Besides the fleet carried out the usual
precautions that have been taken ev
ery night. The precautions made on
Wednesday gave the Spaniards a little
surprise party. The admiral decided
to send a steam launch past the bat
teries into the Fassig river to destroy
two torpedo craft known to have taken
refuge there. - Ensign Caldwell volun
teered to command the expedition.
The admiral intended to order the Cal
lao to tow the launch to the mouth of
the river, and there await the return
of the launch, the water in the river
being too shallow for a large ship to
maneuver in. Ensign Caldwell was to
dash in duiing a rain squall, explode a
Spar torpedo under the torpedo boats"
and then if possible return to the
Callao.
The enterprise was one fraught with
deadly peril for all engaged, but all
the officers were eager to undertake it.
However, the Callao's preliminary re
connoisance on Wednesday so alarmed
the Spaniards that they sank a trans
port steamer across the narrowest part
of the river's entrance, thus effectu
ally closing it against even a steam
launch and at the same time prevent
ing the egress of their own torpedo
craft.
RETURNS TO CADIZ.
Washington, June 21 (Special )
Official information reached Washing
ton yesterday that the Spanish fleet
had left Cartagena and was on its way
back to Cadiz. This information would
seem to show, naval officials say, that
Spain has determined to abandon the
project of sending relief to the Philip
pines It is the general opinion to
night that if the squadron leaves home
waters it can have one of two destina
tions only the Canaries or West In
dies. Tbe former is regarded as the
most probable. The navy department
has received reliable information that
the squadron will be ordered to tbe
'Canaries, where Admiral Camara will
receive sealed orders as to the plan of
oampaign he shall pursue. It is the
expectation that in a few days Spain
will be electrified by news of the de
parture of thr ttquadron under miIcin
to defend Cuba atxl I'orto Kico.

Mind Your Eye.
E. IJ. Cole of Fairbury, a shrewd
"financier," one of those fellows who
believes in living without work, ar
rived in the city yesterday for the pur
pose of buying up tax titles on the
property of people who have not
been ablo to pay their taxes, under
the -stress of gold standard times, or
who, through carlessness, have not
done so. One citizen who had gotten
behind on his taxes went up to the
county treasurer's office this morning
and paid a neat little premium of $3
on Mr. Cole's investment of a few
hours. Those who have Lecome de
linquent, if they do not care to pay
big interest to this speculator on other
people'o misfortunes, should go up to
the county treasury as soon as pos
sible and square up.
