The Spaniards also agreed to co-operate
with Americans in destroying mines
and tori l.i-s at entrance to harbor,
and i" th bay. Defore the Spanish
commi? signers signed it Captain Gen
eral Blanco -ent his approval of agree
ment, tut aded that he must still
consult the government at Madrid.
He therefore wanted the matter post
poned until he received an answer
from Madrid.
The Americans refused this but
agreed that his signature should be
conditional.
A Spanish copy of the agreement was
sent to General P.lanco, and an Ameri
can copy was taken by Lieutenant
Miley.
Mounted on a fast horse. Lieutenant
Miley came tearing over the roads to
Siboney to hand a copy to General
Miles, who was at General Humphrey's
tent, on the shore of the bay.
Miles, after approval, congratulated
Lieutenant Miley. He then went on
board the Yale, satisfied that Santiago
was our city. The approval of the
government at Madrid Is expected. By
the terms of the surrender 25,000 Span
iards lay d iwn their arms and submit
to being taken home, a thing unheard
of in history.
While he Is satisfied that the sur
render is genuine. Shafter will take no
chances. He directed General Garcia,
after signing the agreement, to look
out for any Spanish reinforcements.
Returning of the Spaniards to Spain
is a serious proposition on account o(
the scarcity of transports, but the diffi
culty will be .overcome somehow and
their removal begun at once.
The only soldiers in Santiago pro
vince not included in the surrender
are 10.000 at Holguln under command
of General Luque. but they have no
food trains and are not feared by
Shafter.
Shafter declared he Intended ts
keep some of the Spanish authorities

ment in charge of Santiago, after the
evacuation. The Cubans declare this
to be a mistake. They say the officials
are unfriendly to the United States
and if they remain In power the Cu
bans will not enter Santiago, and live I
under the rule. I

RUMORS ABOUT PEACE.
Nothlnff official Is Given Out For
fuoiication
I Washington. D. C. July IS. Peace Is
I everywhere, and yet mere is no peace.
That is what the administration
officials are saying. They assert
positively that this government has
not been approached officially or unof
ficially by the representatives of any
other government with an inquiry re
garding the terms of peace, which the
president will be willing to accept and
they say that all they know regarding
Spain's position on the peace question
that published by the newspapers
giving the terms upon which Spain
would be willing to make peace.
So far as the president knows no
American representative abroad has
been approached by a Spanish colleague
regarding the restoration of peace be
tween the two governments.
The reports circulated in Madrid are
regarded In many quarters simply as
feelers" put out for the purpose of
ascertaining the opinion of the Ameri
lan government as to the terms which
it would be willing to make. As the
papers have stated the authorities are
willing to accept peace on condition
Cuban independence be proclaimed, .
that Porto Rico be turned over to the
United States and that a coaling sta
tion in the Philippines be given to this
government.
Appreciating Spain s poverty stricken
condition the authorities are not con
sidering the Idea of pushing her for a
large money indemnity. The objection
retention of the Philippines n
titration circles is based upon the
Mt the Islands are too far away
,e first place and in the second
,y may lead to too many interna
tional complications which the authori
ties are anxious to avoid. The neces
sity of a coaling station in the far east
such as Guajan. Is. however, thor
oughly appreciated and undoubtedly
this government will demand Its ces
sion. The report that M. Cambon. the
French ambassador, had opened peace
negotiations Is absolutely untrue. It
is positively asserted both at the state
department and at the French embassy
that M. Cambon did not broach the sub
ject of peace or terms of peace at the
conference which he had with the presi
dent some days ago, but that the sub
ject matter under discussion related
entirely to the Paris exposition.

A CROWD GREETS IT ON THE

Colonel Bryan was cheered as b
turned the corner at Twenty-fourtl:
street, a crowd of people from the city
and state being thera in waiting for
the regiment.
The march was an exceedingly warm
one. and several of the soldiers
fainted.
MILITARY DAY CROWD
Long before the time when the regi
ment was to enter the exposition
grounds the people packed up and
throneed the sides of the avenue and
of West and East Midway the wholf
length, down which the troops were to
march.
The crowds were ready for military
dav to begin, and at 10:20. when Gen

the regimental officers came through
the gate at the north side mounted,

The fine appearance of the officer?
anA the thoroughly soldierly bearing
and air of the men was the subject of
universal comment. Omaha had never
before seen so large a body of troops
together, and as the sturdy battalion?
marched along cheer after cheer went
up from the crowds and the march was
a continuel ovation.
Every now and then, a voice could
be heard saying. "There's Bryan." or
"There's Billy" and then a great shout
would be raised.
MIDWAY WAS ALL OUT.

STACKED ARMS AT GRAND PLAZA
On the Grand Plaza the governor.
General Barry and Color Bearer Porter
reined their horses facing west, and
the troops, who had been marching in
fours, formed In platoons to pass in
review. They continued down the
avenues past the Nebraska and Horti
culture buildings and countermarched
to the plaza, where they stacked arms
MARCH TO AUDITORIUM.
They then marched to the Auditorium.
The doors of the building had been kept
closed until their arrival, so that there
might be no difficulty In reserving seats
for them on the lower floor.
Meanwhile the governor. General Bar
ry. Color Bearer Porter.Govemor Leedy
of Kansas. President Wattles. Gilbert
M. Hitchcock. Mrs. Bryan and others,
and the Pawnee City band took places
on the platform.
At 1 o'clock there was a cheer out
side, the doors opened and the 1.300
soldiers filed In, led by Colonel Bryan
and directed by Major Llewellyn, com
mandant of the exposition guards. At
this moment Mrs. Joslyn. superintend
ing the refreshments, the women of
the bureau of entertainment, and their
associates came in from the siderooms.
where they were unpacking the.Junch
baskets, and led In a cheer and waving
of handkerchiefs.
SOLDIERS WERE HOT.
Every soldier was using his big
brown hat for a fan. for they had
been marching In the hot sun for an
hour and the rattle of the canteens on
the back of the seats made a music
suggestive of the camp. Once seated
the soldiers brought their canteens
Into a service that was grateful, for
the vessels had been filled with good
water before leaving the fort.
All this time the poor public was
doing Its best to get a view through
the windows of the Interesting and
picturesque scene Inside, and the rush
at the doors was tremendous when the
people were finally allowed to come In.
The remaining seats below and those In
the gallery were filled as soon as eager
ness could scramble to them.
SHOWED THEIR TRAINING.
A little delay was caused In getting
to the general admission room because
the second battalion, on the far side
of the lagoon, had not through an
oversight received orders to move,
and, like true soldiers, the men were
standing fast and did stand fast until
I the matter was reported and an or-
derly sent to move the boys to the
building.
As the final rush was being made,
with guards and police all busy trying
to keep some kind of order and pre
vent people from trampling on one
another, several cameras were at work
In the different parts of the building
taking snap shots at the lively throng.
For an opening the regiment was
brought to Its feet, everyone else fol
lowing the example, and amid the wav
ing of handerchiefs and the shouts
of thousands of throats the Pawnee
City band played "The Star Spangled
Banner." This was followed by
"America." By this time the big build
ing was for the first time packed with
all It could hold.
President Wattles Introduced General
Manager Clark son, who delivered the
address of welcome.
WELCOMED BY CLARKSON.
The major addressed the boys as his
comrades, congratulated them for the
step they had taken In enlisting in the
service of their country and bade them
welcome to the exposition. The world,
he said, loved a soldier, and especially
when he volunteers in the face of great
sacrifices to defend his country in a
holy cause. Noting the sturdy demeanor
of the troops he predicted nothing but
good of the Third regiment. It might go
hard at first, but the importance of the
strict obedience to orders would soon
be perceived.
The officers, he said, must be proud
of the magnificent material in the regi
ment, and he was sure it would have
their good care. It was a military year,
and the country was learning that there
was something . better and gkr than
the dollar and business. To be a soldier, j
to suffer, to die if need be. to keep Old

COLONEL BRYAN RESPONDS
Colonel Bryan declared that If
ho tnnwn n mnnv thanks wer to
presented he would have been sure
tare the proper officer or the regiment
there to receive them
Colonel Bryan acknowledged the
iood service that had been rendered
to the regiment by all who had con
tributed to its composition and equip
ment. He mentioned several by name,
the governor. Adjutant General Barry
and others, not forgetting Major Koer
per, who had testified that nobody in
the regiment had ever sutTered from
disease. He continued this little pleas
antry. by averring that the youn?
adies who had been passing around
the water could testify to the health
f the boys, and to the fact that the
regiment could drink enough water to
ink a Spanish navy In
Referring to criticism passed on the
regiment, the colonel said they were
not due to the men in it, but to its
commander. It had been called u
political regiment, "a silver regiment
etc.
He said he desired to give assurance
that there was no politics in the regi
ment. All parties were there. As a
matter of fact the majority of the cap
tains differed from himself in political
opinion. and the two major?
were his opponents in politics. It wa
simply an American regiment and all
would stand together in its Important
undertakings.
It seemed to be with peculiar pleas
ure that Colonel Bryan referred to the
tokens presented by the World-Herald
lie assured Mr. Hitchcock that if he
would come out to drill he would see
ih3 movements improved, and he com -
iiended the propriety of the gifts sent
out by the World-Herald In the morning
to the fort little cards for each
nember of the regiment with th
words of the hymn. "America." on onf
side, and "The Star Spar.gled Banner"
in the other. Colonel Bryan hoped
they would be learned by heart, and it
would be grand for the 1.300 men to
sing them in chorus. He felt sure that
when the boys laid down their arms.
the little children in Cuba would be
singing. "My country, 'tis of thee", sweet
land of liberty."
As he rose to speak andas he closed
Colonel Bryan was complimented with
long cheering, the audience rising and
waving hats and handkerchiefs.
The applause was renewed when
President Wattles read from the Noon
World-Herald that the surrender at
Santiago was an actual fact, and that
the Spanish army there had laid
down its arms.
Governor Holcomb delivered a short
farewell address. He called the sol
diers his boys, and expressed the hope
that the farewell was for but a short
time. He hoped that It would not be
long before the boys were all back,
and meanwhile prayers would go up
from every Nebraska home for their
safety.
The exercises did not close until 1
o'clock. All present except the soldiers
were then asked to retire from the
building. The troops 'gave themselves
more room and the luncheon began,
carried to the boys where they sat by
the women of the bureau ot entertain
ment, the Women's Relief Corps and
their many assitants.
Enough?" said one of the women.
when asked about the quantity of the
cakes, pies, sandwiches and other
good things sent, "enough? Why, we
have enough to supply this regiment
while It is in the field." It did seem
so, for it was a long train of A. D. T.
wagons that delivered the supplies at
the building and the rooms where they
were unpacked were stuffed to the
ceiling and full of pastry fragrance.
The service -was well rendered and
the boys received the banquet In a

missioner Wolfe has made a big change
In ,the, management of his office. It
used to be the custom to lease a piece
of land and get behind four to six
years on the rental. Then the tenant
could go to the county treasurer and
voluntarily surrender his lease and by
so doing be relieved of his debt. At
the end of thirty days he would send a
friend around who would quietly lease
the land at the old rate and assign the
lease over to the original holder. This
was a good thing for the tenant and a

ls barred from bidding and is also

amount which he owes the state. Sur
renders used to come in ii"Jw the old
plan at the rate of about forty per
month, as it was an easy way of paying
old scores and starting over anew. Sur
renders come in now at the rate of
about one each month, as a tenant does
not give up a good lease without a

paying a bonus. Under "Uncle Jake's"
Plan everyone Interested in the land
had an opportunity to
bid for it and
in these two cases the state receives the
benefit of reform to the tune of $350.
The following circular letter, sent to
the county treasurers, explains the
I plan:
j When surrender of delinauent . con
tract Is accepted the county treasurer
.will be notified of the date of such
acceptance and will hold such land
one month from that date. For In
stance where surrender Is accepted
May 5. land will be held until June
a; where surrender is accepted Feb
ruary 3. land will be held until March
13, etc. While this does not always
work out as thirty days. even, yet it
accomplishes the object intended, viz,
fixes a uniform term and holds the
land open long enough, after surrender,
for persons who might desire t. lease
to become informed of its condition and
to afford competition, getting good
prices and making sure it will be taken
j by someone who will hold in good
faith and pay for Its use.
On the day succeeding the expira
tion of thly term such land will he con
sidered as again upon the maiket (ex
cept to parties mentioned in last para

all of that day; and. at the flo.-e of that
day. If more than one peisoii has ap

CAMP LIFE AT h'OHT OMAHA.
Life at Fort Omaha during the mus
tering in of the Third regiment under
Colonel William J. Bryan has not been
i bed of roses for many of the boys,
whose patriotism led them to giving up
ood positions and comfortable homes
for a life of hardship and battle for
their country's sake.
Owing to orders received from the
government to muster In and equip the
regiment at the earliest moment, the
soldiers have been deprived of many
conveniences which they otherwistf
would have had.
As a consequence beds were an un
known quantity: for many days tablei
were in the same ratio, and up to th
present time the culinary articles have
been woefully absent.
Notwithstanding these Inconveniences
the boys have been happy end con
tented They were and are ex
periencing "roughing it." such as their
tathers had experienced In earlier days,
and were content to undergo such trials
as those of whlc-n their fathers had
made light.
Colonel Bryan has been no exception
to the rule. He has endured the same
Inconveniences in uncomfortable quar
ters as have his rren, but he has en
dured them with a stolclfir. which has
called out many favorable comments on
his worth as an officer.
His headquarters, while Imposing in
exterior, presented a very different as
pect interiorly. Large, open, empty
rooms greeted the visitor on every
side. The office, where official busi
ness has been transacted, contained
only a desk and two common wooden
chairs, warping in the rays of the hot
sun, which poured in from the unpro
tected south windows. The only time
any comfort could be experienced was
when the sun had passed behind the
mass of foliage of the huge tree on
the side of the building.
The time of the soldiers has been
passed In almost Incessant crrilling.
Drill squads of a dozen men. usually
under command of a first or second
sergeant, could be found at all hours,
marching back and forth, crossing and
recrossing the parade grounds, going
through the motions of changing posi
tions of arms, which had not yet been
given out, and modelling excellently
drilled soldiers from numerous awk.
ward squads.
When the call to mess Is sounded,
then the boys are really happy. The
invigorating air at the fort glvas all
a strong appetite and even though the
cook may have failed to turn the huge
chunks of beef sufficiently, or the beans
may be a little burned, and the coffee
taste a little like old "bootleg" of
jlvll war days, the boys pitch In with
at greediness which shows their health
has not been affected.
Just how the meals are cooked almost
lefeats description. The beef. In chunks
of two or three feet or thereabouts,
is placed In a huge drlplng pan over a
Ire of cordwood and allowed to cook at
ts pleasure, except for occasional turn
ings by means of a bale stick and a
tiuge fork. The beans and coffee are
n huge pails, suspended over the fire,
nd both are stirred frequently with
:he beef stick, wiped off for the oc
aslon, on the mess towels, composed of
ither a mass of waste or a piece of
-loth foraged from some member's
louse.
After meals, ss ls usual with satiated
:he shade and take a "snooze" until
aersons, the boys spread themselves In
:he call to drill brings them again to
:helr feet, eager to make the best ap
aearance and gain encomiums from
:heir officers.
Omaha. July 18. The Third regiment,
United States volunteers. It wis fil
ially announced last evening, leaves
)maha today.
Owing to the surrender of Santiago
ind the dispatches telling of peace pro
jositlons. doubt was expressed In some
tuarters as to whether the Third woull
e moved at all. Captain Baxter, when
lsked regarding the matter, said that
f peace should be declared tomorrows
he order moving the regiment woulr
)e carried out. and that It would re
gain In service at least six months,
ilven after hostilities cease the work of
he United States army will not be
nded. as an army will be required In
he Philippines, an army In Cuba, and
in army in Porto Rico. While the
jresent prospect of the Third Nebraska
eglment seeing fighting Is very remote,
t has s fair chance of seeing active
service in the "reconstruction" and
'army of occupation" line.
