that the Cuban general. Rlcs, offer
two armed men to assist the American

.he following reply: "Certainly not. The
only conditions on which rations are
to be Issued are the complete disarma
ment and dlsbandment of the troops.
Some of the Cubans here consider
that the United States Is treating its
allies badly In not allowing the Cuban
forces to remain armed. They contend
that the Cuban soldiers who have been
fighting three years, who speak the Ian.
guage of the country, are better fitted
for garrison duty than "untrained vol
unteers."
The Cuban General. Macia Rodriguez,
virtually voices the sentiment of the
Cuban army when he says: "We thank
the United States for the assistance It
has given us. but the time has now ar
rived when the Cuban should be placed
In the highest offices and should pre
pare to take over the island on the de
parture of the Spanish."

any complications with foreign govern

United States are extremely anxious as
to the outcome. A prominent Cuban, now
employed under our government, who Is a
moderate and well able to Judge sf the
feeling in Santiago, says those three par
ties are well denned and would poll about
equally, but in the event of the extremists
endeavoring to force an Issue a majority
of moderates would Join the annexation

no more paupers to land here, especially
no more from the West Indies, a class
entirely unwilling to do hard work. One
schooner from Jamaica and one from
Hayti, loaded with negro emigrants, have
been ordered to return their passengers to

WILL CURE HOG CHOLERA.
Agricultural Department Believes
It Has Found a Remedy.
Washington. D. C. Nov. 1. During
the past two years the department of
agriculture has conducted a series of
experiments In the use of serum as a
remedy for hogs affected by cholera or
swine plague. The experiments were
conducted by Dr. P. E. Salmon, chief
of the bureau of animal industry, and
the results were eminently satisfactory,
proving that the dreaded disease can
be successfully treated easily and in
expensively. The losses suffered by
the farmers of the United States an
nually from hog cholera aggregates an
enormous sum. In Iowa alone, during
1S96. It Is estimated that the hog raid
ers lost through the ravages of t)te
rfupase 115.000.000. Scores of remedies
have been tried, but nothing even ap
proximating a specific for the disease
has ever been discovered until the de
partment of agriculture began its ex

was conducted in Page county. Ia.
the results showing a loss of only 2i
per cent of the affected droves. This
vear the experiments have been ex
tensive and far-reaching. The bureau
treated 922 hogs. Of these. 170 died
the number saved being 81 out of every
hundred. The loss was only 19 per
cent. The animals comprised sev
teen droves and of these six droves lost
only one hog each.
On the other hand 1.107 hogs In other
droves were served and not subjected
to the serum treatment. Of these
579 died, showing a loss of 79 hogs
out of every hundred.
Speaking of the treatment Dr. Sal
mon said mere is no uuesuun ui me

Our operations have been viewed with

SOCIAL PURITY THE TOPIC.
How Unfortunate Clrls May Be
Helped Discussed by Council.
Omaha. Neb. (Special.) Social puri
ty was the topic lor atscussion at me
afternoon session of the National Con
gress of Women yesterday. Mrs. Kate
Waller Barrett of Washington who
presided, discussed the best methods to
iave wayward girls and scarlet women.
She told of the Florence Crittenden
missions, which would not allow a wo
man who had given birth to an lllegit-
mate child to desert it. but taught her
how to win for it an honest livelihood.
Rev. Anna Shaw declared that the
efforts of women who bad fallen to
reform and then had fallen again was
part of the heroism of the century.
he held that women of the cities
whose lives are pure and good too
often fail In their duty to aid and en-
ourage those who have failed in 'the
struggle of life.
Miss Anthony thought that the traf
fic in human bodies was one of the
?vil results of government by men. Pov
?rty she sail, was the principal cause
of social sinning, because no provision
had been made for women who were
unable, either by misfortune or poverty
o earn an honest living. By giving
women an equal chance with men to
hold responsible positions was, she be
lieved, the real solution of the problem.

THE GATES ARE CLOSED
TRANS - MISSISSIPPI PASSES
INTO HISTORY.
Omaha Day Olth Its Thousands o
Visitors Closes a Series of Bril
liant Events In a Blaze of
Glory.
Omaha. Neb., November 1. With the
gray of the first November dawn the
night of Omaha Day was declared at
end, and with It the great Trans-Mis-sisslpi
exposition with its splendid
showing of the wealth of the mighty
west, the beautiful exposition, a won
der by day and a dazzling dream by
night, officially passed into history. By
the sound of the torn, torn, the weird
cries of Turks and Egyptians, and the
vigorous lungs of thousands of gay
revelers, the big exposition plunged
into its last wild dash to death.
Although the early hours of the day
found the gates swinging siowiy, aur
Ing the afternoon the crush began, and
lasted till late at night, till 61.102 had
entered for their last good-bye. and
swelled the total since June 1 to 2,613,
374.
With that total of 2.613,374 the expo--
sition far eclipsed anything since the
World's fair; the Midwinter exposition
with its less than 2,000,000; the Atlanta
exposition with its 1,278,863; and the
Nashville exposition with its 1,703,328.
And the last day. Omaha day, the
second best of the exposition, with its
61,102, cast Into the shade the closing
day of Atlanta with Its 16,000; of Nash
ville with its 41,703; but it did not pass
the last day of the Midwinter exposi
tion, the Fourth of July, with its 77.000.
But If this exposition lacked numbers
at its dying hour, it made up all In en
thusiasm. The business of the day was
finished in the afternoon by Omaha day
exercises at the Auditorium: a farewell
luncheon to the government board, the
heads of departments, exposition offi
cials and Omaha business men who
have been prominent in exposition
work, a fine collation served to 300 gen
tlemen at the Markel cafe at 6 p. m.;
four band concerts, two by the re
nowned Innes band; the last life saving
exhibition and the grandest pyrotech
nical display of the summer.
Then the crowd turned loose on the
Midway. Revelers with horns, whis
tles, squawkers and every contrivance
known to the fakir's art for making
noise, used them fiercely; they fought
fierce battles with confetti; threw co
logne at friend and foe, and surged
up and down the two Midways, an im
penetrable mass of humanity, from
spieler to spieler.
Midnight began approaching, and the
men out with their wives and the
wives out with their husbands went
home. So did a few other people. Hut
25,000 people didn't go. They Just sim
ply tore down every loose sign on the
Midway, and carried the pieces about
on their shoulders; they snatched every
piece of curtains, awnings or cloth
signs In sight and turned them into
banners; they carried every bottle In
sight on the top of a long stick; and
they made noise. One delegation
wrecked the Dragon's Head, knocked
out the eyes and teeth, and annihilated
the pleasant smile.
Once in a w hile some one would cre
ate a disturbance. One riot at the
Streets of Cairo nearly resulted in the
lynching of a colored man, Another
mlxup between a guard and a small
boy with a long pole over his shoulder
made West Midway a stormy place.
Other outbreaks occurred from time to
time, -but all were promptly squelched
by the guards. On the whole, however.
the crowd was good natured, out for a
good time, and had it.
MASO'S ADDRESS TO CUBANS.
To the Delegates in Attendance at
. the Military Assembly.
Santiago De Cuba. Oct. 31. Senor
Bartolomeo Maso, ptesident of the Cu
ban provisional administrative council,
has issued an address to the delegates
now in attendance at the military as
sembly at Santa Cruz del Sur, in which
he reviews the considerations upon
which the Cubans solicited the help of
the United States, and indicates their
wisest future policy. The address in
part is as follows:
"The Cubans accepted the assistance
of America, although not knowing ex
actly what were the Americans' aims.
Just as they would have accepted the
help of any country, i:i their fight
against Spain.
"As the contest picgrefsed the Cu
bans in the field wt-re gratified to hear
the solemn declaration by the United
States congress -regarding the intention
of the American government and the
path it woiad follow in the Spanish-
American . war.
"The Americana came to our help to
compel Spain to relinquish her sover
eignty over Cuba, in order that the Cu
bans themselves mignt De placed as
promptly as possible in possession of
the island; might assume the adminis
tration of its affairs and have a gov
ernment of their own.
"Therefore, the Cubans agreed to co
operate with the Americans, to obey
orders of American generals and help
in all posible ways to establish a Cuban
government when the Americans took
possession. Though America did not
recognize the government of the Cu
bans, it was well understood that the
Cubans would not on that account
abandon their organization, but that
on the contrary, the time would come
when such recognition would be grant
ed. Indeed, it was asserted to our Cu
ban representatives by one of the most
distinguished members of the United
States government and also by mem
bers of the United States senate that
in order to do away with an obstacle
that might hinder the United States to
go Into the fight for the cause of Cuban
independence, recognition of a Cuban
government must come later.
"Nevertheless, It has not been possi
ble to establish direct relations between
the Cuban and American governments
for the transaction of the public busi
ness, although the general character of
our relations throughout the war was
friendly. But we have now reached a
time when, even mere than in the days
of fighting. It is incumbent upon all
Cubans to show true patriotism, and
while making every expression of grat
itude to America for having given Cuba
freedom and independence, to make
prompt arrangements for paying off
the Cubans now in arms and for get
ting the country into working order."

His Inventions !r transmitting elec

"Tesla now proposes to transmit

that his work in this field has passed

WasTiington, D. C. (Special.) It Is
understood that a presidential edict

ment officers from the civil service,
probably will be promulgated before
Thanksgiving day. The order Is one
which has been in contemplation for
many months, having been deferred
from time to time, owing to pressure
of war business. As at present deter

these deputies. The largest class af

ALL GUNS IN CUBA ARE OURS,
Afar Department Puts a Stop
the SetllnR of Material.
to
Washington, D. C. (Special.) It was
stated today at the war department
hat the sale by the Spanish govern
ment of government property in Cuba
'or the benefit of the Spanish treasury
tr of the officers making the sale had
been stopped by the United States.
This practice has grown to such pro
portions that Major General Butler In
a private letter to Secretary Alger call
ed his attention to the matter.
Expensive guns of modern type, the
valuable "machinery in the government
workshops and small gunboats were
being sold by the Spaniards or pre
pared for shipment back to Spain. The
matter was laid before the president by
Secretary Alger and through the
French embassy, the diplomatic chan
nel of communication with Spain, no
tice was sent to Madrid that eithei
this property must be left intact or its
value in money would be collected from
Spain before the signing of the peace
treaty.
This sharp reminder to Spain of her
obligations toward the United States
had the desired effect, and It is prom
ised that there will be no further at
tempts to dismount batteries or o re
move government property that be

UPON SPAIN
INSIST UPON CESSION OF THE
ENTIRE ARCHIPELAGO.
Are Willing to Concede That Cer
tain Amount of Remuneration
Be Paid In Exchange-
Paris, Oct. 31.-The American and
fepanlsn peace commissioners held a
meeting this afternoon, the health of
President Rios of the Spanish commis
sion permitting his attendance.
Immediately after the ten men seated
themselves at the table. Secretary
Moore, upon the request of Judge Day,
passed to Mr. Ferguson, the interpreter,
the formulated demands of the United
States regarding the Philippines, which
were read to the Spaniards in their own
tongue by a rapid rendering from the
English. In which they were written.
Although the Spanish commissioners
did not betray anxiety, their attention
to the reading was keen. They had
anticipated that the United States
would take over the Islands, but the
terms and details of the transfer had
all along been a subject of speculation.
The reading disclosed the fact that
the United States had determined to
to possess for itself certain territory
and parts of land bounded by and lying
Within such parallels of latitude and
lonpitude as mark the limits of the
Philippine archipelago.
Tl.e United State. does not propose
assuming the Philippine debt of $40.
000,000, hut it is willing to be responsible
to Spain for a sum of money equal to
the actual expenditures by Spain in
the Philippines for the advantage of
the islands and for the good of their
people, for permanent betterments and
for improvements, both physical and
mental.
The reading r,f the presentment speci
fies that the Vnlted State will reim
burse Spain f..r her "pacific expend
itures" made in the archipelago. This
phrase, "pacific xpenditures." is em
ployed to differentiate the expenditures
by Spain in combating the Insurrections
in the Philippines.
The one Is felt by the American com
missioners to be a fair burden on the
acquiring power, visile the other and
latter class of expenditures is held to
have been logically assumed by Spain
in the Inevitable hazar l of a nation re
sorting to arms to enforce order in its
own territory.
STILL IN THE DARK.
Such is the vital portion of the pre
sentment made by the American com
missioners today, and it N to be ob
served that while the main proposition
as to possession and flnanc i:il responsi
bility is clear and definite, many details
have been left to the developments or
the discussion between the two com
missions. Thus, while the Spaniards are quite
certain that the United Stat.-s in
tends to reimburse them for pacific
expenditures." they remark that they
are not enlightened as to whether the
Americans expect to Indorse the Span,
ish obligations to the extent of "pacific
expenditures" in the archipelago, or
whether they will hand Spain a lump
sum of gold large enough to cover
Spain's outlay so designated.
Possibly the American commissioners
themselves are not at this moment fully
determined on this point. It .is un
doubted, however, that the Americans
will care to become Identified in the
slightest degree with Spain in her re
sponsibility to her creditors. The
clearer method seems to be to hand to
Spain spot cash or something as good
and bid her to apply it on her debts by
whatever name known or to put it in
her wallet for whatever u.e she may
elect.
While the United States has desig-
nfltwl "naclflc expenditures" as those
it will reimburse to Spain, the present
ment of the American commissioners
todav did not demand either a schedule
or an Inventory or tne same irom me
Spaniards. But the suggestion natur
ally raises an Inquiry as to the kind and
quantity of Spain s "pacine expenau
ures" in the Philippines, and some light
may be given on that matter now.
WHAT THEY AKK.
There is considerable traffic between
the islands, and seme time ago a sys
tern of licht houses became necessary
Spain set out to supply this, and some
forty-eight light stations were project
eL Of these she has already con
structed seventeen of the first class
and sixteen of the second. What they
cost Is not yet known here, but in
American waters those of the first class
cost from $25,000 to $250,000 each, so
that, on an average basis of the mini
mum cost in the United States. Spain's
thirty-three light houses may represent
an outlay of $825,000.
Spain has constructed breakwaters at
Manila.at an expense not yet Known
here, and wharves of small value along
the Pasler river. She has recently built
barracks for 4,000 men. now occupied by
American troops, the cost of which is
not vet ascertained.
a Cavite. Spain had built a naval
station, which, before it was sacked by
the natives, was said to be equal to
KhP fnre Island station and may be
worth $2,500,000.
Whether or not the last two Items
can be strictly designated "pacific ex
penditures" must be determined in con
ference, but the light houses, water
improvements, barracks and naval sta
tion are necessary to the United States
as the owner of the Philippines and
are deemed worth a fair price.
Spain has also built some school
houses, which the Americans are will
Ing to take over at cost.
ASK UNTIL FRIDAY.
The Spanish commissioners listened
attentively, though not without some
evidence of impatience and surprise at
the financial suggestions In the Ameri
can presentment, and finally asked un
til Friday to consult the Madrid gov
ernment and make reply.
Adjournment was then taken to that
dav. After the conference was dissolv
ed the Spanish commissioners expressed
the opinion that the American aemana
would create In Spain, as It did upon
her commissioners, an excedingly grave
mpression.

BROKE A FLASK OF FIREWATER.
And That IS How the Reported In
dian Uprising In Nevada Began.
Austin, Nev. Special.) The report
ed Indian outbreak at Midas Is greatly
exaggerated. There Is no danger at
the present time. Last Friday an In
dian named Ballard and a white man
named McLeod took a load of hay to
Midas. The Indian got drunk and was
carrying the bottle of whisky on the
way home. The bottle broke and the
Indian accused McLeod of breaking It
In his anger he cut McLeod about the
head and face with a knife and threat
ened to kill him. On reaching the river
the Indian wanted to get a rifle from
John Schmalling, saying he wished tc
kill George Gooding, John Bowler and
James Day. He could not get a rifle
and started after McLeod again with
the knife. McLeod got away for the
time being, but later he found Mc
Leod again and the latter In self-defense
gave the Indian a terrible beat
ing. The Indian was taken to Midas
and placed In Jail and Is now In a very
dangerous condition.
The Indians are greatly worked up
over the affair and Ballard's brothers
say that they will kill McLeod. but do
not threaten others. The deputy sher
iff at Midas asked for arms and am
munition at the request of the people
on upper Reese river, who fear that the
Indians may do mischief.
HUIDEKOPER TO BE LET OUT.
Comes Home to Be Honorably Dis
charged From the U. S. Service.
Washington, D .C (Special.) 'Gainst
the statement attributed In this morn
ing's papers to Surgeon Rush S. Hul
dekoper that he had come to this coun
try only to appear bc-fore the investiga
tion commission and would return to
Porto Rico, it is stated at the war de
partment that Surgeon Huldekoper is
not expected by the authorities either
to remain in the army or to return to
Porto Rico.
It was well understood In the offices
of adjutant general and surgeon gen
eral, and was so stated to me, that
Dr. Huldekoper was coming to the
United States to be honorably dis
charged. How much the wretched hos
pital conditions at Chickamauga, where
Dr. Hulderkoper was stationed, had to
do with this announcement is not dis
closed, but the forthcoming "discharge"
of Dr. Huldekoper was to follow closely
upon the ventilation of the hospital in
adequacies at Chickamauga.
It was distinctly understood at the
war department that Dr. Huldekoper
was to get his travel pay and sixty
days' furlough. At the end of this
time, as was repeated to me today, he
will, according to the present decision,
ie clustered out cf the service.

FOR ANOTHER EXPOSITION
A FOREIGN AND COLONIAL
SHOW FOR NEXT SEASON.
To Have Exhibits of the People and
Things From Philippines, Porto
Rico, Cuba. Japan, Mexico,
England. France. Germany
and Others.,
Omaha, Neb. (Special.) A fortnight
since John W. Ryckman of Chicago
and Edward Marshall of New York sub
mitted a proposal to certain prominent
business men of Omaha for " the hold
ing of a fore'gn and colonial exposition
in this city In 1839. The plan presented
by these gentlemen has been approved
In the abstract by so many of those
before whom it was laid, and seems
so feasible that there now seems to be
a possibility of Omaha's having another
and in many respects equally Import
ant and successful exposition next year.
It is intended to form an entirely new
organization to take over the present
buildings and grounds, or such part of
them as may be necessary for the pur
pose, from the present company, upon
such reasonable basis as may be ar
ranged. "It is true." said Mr. Ryckman."that
a suggestion has been made to the di
rectors of the exposition to secure the
transfer of the Trans-Mississippi Ex
position buildings to a new organiza
tion to be Immediately formed, for the
purpose of holding an exposition in
Omaha next season, for which every
section of our whole country feels there
is immediate demand. If Omaha d.d
not take up the project some other city
would, but as this magnificent plant is
already here and available the carjj
are all in Omaha's hands.
WHAT HE HOPES TO DO.
"Omaha having assumed the respon
sibility of this great Trans-Mississippi
exposition and having come out of it
so triumphantly with all the splendid

country's sake assume an equal respon
sibility and bring into direct conjunc
tion here next summer ail of the forces
that have become interlaced in our
country's greater commerce of the fu
ture in the pew territories and posses
sions acquired since the Spanish-American
imbroglio. Within a very few
months the whole political and com
mercial complexion of the country has
changed. We have assumed control of
rich colonies outside our own domain,
and the markets of Cuba, Porto Rico,
Sandwich Islands and the Philippines
now fall to us by right of conquest. The
commodities they have heretofore re
ceived from England, Germany, France
and other countries may now and must
be supplied by our own industrialists.
At the present time they are absolutely
unfamiliar with the character of the
goods used in these countries and ot
their natural products which we can
utilize. For some time this trade,
which will rapidly develop for us to an
unlimited extent, must be a question of
barter. We must utilize their products
in order to displace their goods with
our own in their markets.
WANTS OMAHA TO SHOULDER IT.
"An exposition which will bring here
to the precise center of the United
States, where a great exposition plant
is ready to receive them, all the prod
ucts of our new posieBdIons and sam
ples of all the goods and wares enter
ing into their domestic and economic
systems is not only timely, but Is ab
solutely demanded, and will make Oma
ha not only the magnet of attraction
throughout the world next year by rea
son of the great importance of such a
showing, but will add vastly to its rep
utation for courage and its masterful
recognition of the necessary forces of
national advancement. Japan would
Join in such an exposition and make a
magnificent display, because of their
loudly expressed desire to become allied
to the United States in furtherance cf
her foreign commerce. Mexico has for
years plead with us for a chance to
make such an exhibition as would at
tract the attention of commercialisti
to her natural resources. The Nicar
agua Canal company would Join exten
sively and bring here the best of every,
thing in Honduras. Venezuela, Guate
mala, etc. The administration, having
evolved for the country the splendid
achievements in these territorial ag
grandizements, must favor such a dem
onstration and congress would appro
priate a very considerable sum to bring
the products and the producers of our
new possessions and allies here face to
face with our own producing cla.wes for
perfect understanding and a sur
commercial footing.
-It Is proposed to organize a com
pany with a capital stock of $250,000.
which is considered by some of Oma
ha's most prudent business men to be
an ample guaranty on the part of this
city. You may say that definite action
on the matter will be taken Immediate
ly." Free Dentistry for St. Louis Poor.
Why should n.-t a city like St. Loul.
which is so philanthropic as to maintain
public medical d1si nsarles for the poor,
also establish dental infirmaries for th
benefit of the same class?
The world over, a far as I know,
the poor must neglect their teeth until
the pain compels them to .-all at th
public dispensaries, where the physi
cians can do nothing but destroy the
tocth by extraction. I believe that the
number of patients.who would be ben
efited by such Institutiol would be a
ten to one compared wit) ithe medical
dispensaries. Impostors 1 guard
ed against, and none b.iV th' actual
poor be treated. Such at?
would bring relief to thoi l
ferers. -aii
