Tlie Stare of Texas, the Hod- Cross Ateamcr, is unloading Its supplies ut Santiago. The output n! smokeless powder now amounts to more tliun 8,000 pounds dully for the big guns. Cump Merrltt at Son Francisco is to be nlmndoned and the troops will be transferred to the presidio. Press reports from Santiago say the Cubans are extremely hot because (iencral Shutter refused to allow them to stick Santiago after it had sitrren- dcred. Ashton lloyle, S2d infantry, who captured the first Spanish flag in 'the assault on Santiago, is u son of ,1uan Doyle, (i prominent citizen of Kearney, Neb. Notification that Santiago had sur rendered was all that was neeessary to secure the towns of Caimaucrn "and Guuntannmo. The total Spanish forces in the two towns numbered about 5,000. The auxiliary gunboat Kagle fired upon and run ashore the Spanish steamer Santo Domingo, loaded with grain. The steamer was set afire and burned, being totally destroyed. It was of 5,500 tons burden. Madrid newspapers announce that the Spanish cabinet ministers express Hurnrisc that General Toral had in cluded the whole military division of the province in the surrender. They have ashed Cuptuln-Gcncrul Blanco to send details. The German press is veering around and is more friendly in tone to the United States. The navy department lias received no news from Dewey iu relation to Germany's actions iu the Philippines. There is reason to be lieve that direct assurances have been received from Gormunv that it would .offer no obstacle to the execution of our plans. Timnduy, July :si. The Monterey, if all went well, should now be with Admiral Dewey's licet. The president will soon issue a proc lamation declaring the whole of l'orto Kino under blockade. It is suid that upon a real show of force by Dewey the Spanish Hug at Manila will be hauled down. The Spanish terpedo gunboat Tomer arlo, which for weeks has been under going repairs at Assumption, Paraguay, has left that port. A special despatch from St. Thomas, J)..V. I., to the New York Journal re ports that a serious riot occurred at Mavaguez, Porto lUco, on Sunday re sulting i the killing of nine persons and the wounding of many others. Spanish residents of the place attacked natives, whom they accused of being American spies and intending to aid the Amcrlcun army. General Wood of the Rough Riders, military governor of Santiago, has or dered nntlves to clean the, streets of the dead animals and other refuse. Other steps to improvo the sanitary conditions of the town nrc being tak eu. He has ordered all shops open, and hereafter there will be music In the plaza Sundays and Thursdays. Lieutenant Hobson, the hero of San tiago, arrived In Washington yesterday with word from Sampson that the re port on the destruction of Cervera's squadron was in course of preparation and would be sent as soon us com pleted. Lieutenant Hobson said the Rcinn Mercedes and Marin Teresa could be saved oud that if proper methods were employed tho CrlstobaJ Colon could also be saved. THE . 10. 11. in. in. Friday, .luly as. (Iencral Miles, with advance force of 3,000 invaders, is expected to reach the place of debarkation Sunday. Monday 4.000 will come, uml Tuesday 3,500 more. The trip to the Spanish coast of Commodore Watson has not. as hereto fore mentioned, been abandoned, but only wuits until the Porto Rico situa tion is clear. The men who took part in the San tiago campaign may possibly be trans ferred to Maine to rusticate and rest up for several weeks. Their campaign has been a hard one. General Leonard Wood, late colonel of the rough riders, recently promoted, has succeeded General MoKibben us rnllitnry governor of Santiago. Me Kibbcn will resume his commaud. The second expedition to Manila, consisting of the Colon, China, .o lander und Senator, tho, lutter having on lioard tho First Nebraska, arrived safely at Manila on Sunday, .luly 17. A well defined rumor wus on every body's lips at Annapolis that Admiral Cervefa had expressed a determination not to return to Spain, but at the eon elusion of the war would take up his esldcnce in Boston. General Garcia is not dead, but is very much disgusted at Generul Shut ter for falling to notify him of the surrender, and because lie was not in vited at the ceremony attending tho formal surrender. He threatens to act independently of the American troops. Saturday, July S3. A regiment of immunes left Galves ton yesterday for Santiago. Tho war department Is making pre parations for a garrison for Honolulu. Word came from General Shatter yesterday that the fever wa abating and the condition of his men good. Agulnaldo has declared a dictator ship and martial law over nil tho Philippines. It Is further claimed thut he refuses' to be subordinated. 'The secondary battery for the cruis er Philadelphia at San Fruncisco ar rived yesterday from the east and Is lwlnir nlaced ' The cruiser will leave for Honolulu soon. The Third regiment of Nebraska vol unteers in command of Cojonel W. .1. Itrynn urrived at Jacksonville, 1-ln., yesterday and Colonel Bryan reported to Major-Gcncral Fitzhugh J.ee. Fresh provisions are being sent with all poEslbe speed to Suntiogo. f A report is received from Kingston, .TainalcuMhat General Gareiu, the In- twpid Cuban leader Is dead. It has not been confirmed. Arrangements were practically con cluded by the government lust night for the transportation of the Spanish prisoners at Santiago from Cuba to Spain. The contract was let to the Spanish 'AVans-Atlantlo company. '1 ho. contract rate is 20 for each enlisted man and $r5 for each ofllccr. On the basis of 24,000 enlisted men and 1,000 officers, it will cost the government fM5,000 to transport the prisoners. Sunday, July 24. Admiral Camnra's squadron Is said to be nt Cartagena. Ambassador White says Germany preserves silence an the Philippines. Five troops of cavalry under General Graham have been ordered to Porto Itlco. Daniel J. Loo of Nebraska City, fell from a tree while sawing oil a limb and broke his left shoulder. It Is said that the Spaniards at San Juan, Porto Hlco. are preparing tc make a determined resistance. Tho president enjoyed nn outing by taking n trip down the Potomac vesterdav with a. nartv of friends on board the naval tug Triton. At least 20.000 of the volunteers that go to Porto Itlco will be supplied with the Krag-Jorgensen rltles, that many of tho new guns being ready. General Brooke and staff left Chick- nrtiniifrn fur Vnivnnrt. Viivrt vnktnrdnv. -"rs -- ' "i - -' . .- The whole of the first army corps will leave this week for Porto Hico. Although piqued at his alleged mis treatment. General Garcia Is going nhead with his preparations for a con test with tho Spanish fo.ces at Hoi guln. The steamer Rio .Tanerio, bearing about l00 men sailed Saturday for Ma nila. The expedition will bo under the command of lirliradler-Gencrul H. G. Otis. The gunboats Topokn. Wasp and Loyden, silenced the Spanish fortifica tions in Nlpe bay on the northern coast of Santiago, and sunk the Span ish gunboat Juan .lurago. Spaniards In Cuba favor annexation of Cuba to the Putted Stntes rather than independence, fearing the ven geance of tho Separatists, or native Cubans, If the Americans do not stay to protect life and property on the island. Official announcement has been made of the retirement from active service of Major Edmund G. Fechet, who wn for two years aid to Gov. llolcomb, and did much to aid In building up the national guard of the state. Ho was retired July V. Nebraska has furnished more than 500 men in excess of its quota. The First and Second regiments contained 2,048 men and officers, the Third, 1,320; 000 recruits were sent to 1111 up the First and Second, und 84 went as an Independent company to Griggsby's cavalry, making 4,0.18 soldiers fur nished by Nebraska. This docs not in clude engineers and members of signal corps. Nebraska s quota under the two calls aggregated 3,557. Monday, July -C. General Shatter reported by cable yesterday that tho condition of the troops nt Santiago was rapidly im proving. Colonel IJryan has completed his regimental headquarters at Pnnamu Park, two miles from Jacksonville, Fla., and is well pleased with his location. Captain Genernl August! of the Philippines has telegraphed Ills' gov ernment ut Spain that "tho Americans are about to attack Manila. Grave events are Impending." Genernl Miles probably reached the eoast of Porto Rico ut the place selected as a rendezvous. Whether or not he waits for the, arrival of the rest of his force, or will undertuke to make a landing in advance will depend large ly upon conditions us he iiuds them. General Shatter refuses to allow armed Cubans to enter Suntiogo for fear of rupture with unarmed Span iards. After tho Spaniards aro re moved the Cubans will be allowed to enter the city freely. They may do so now, but must come in unarmed. The fact that neither President Me Klnlcy nor Secretary Alger have re ceived word from General Shatter that Garcia and his men aro troublesome or that friction exists between the Cubans and Americnns, leads them to doubt the authenticity of the pub lished accounts on these subjects.

I., dute, July. 25, suys, "United States troops are landing on the Island of Porto Rico, near Ponce, on tho south coast. , Money is being taken to Santiago to jfciy General Shatter s men. After these are paid, tho paymasters wll! proceed to Porto Rieo und pay oft the men there. It i.x rumored that the Spanish gov crnmerttrjias drawn up a message ad dressed to this government proposing an armistice that peace terms might be discussed, und peuee urrunged. General Shatter authorizes an abso lute contradiction of the rcpor t that Garcia encountered a force of Span iards who were returning to Santiago to surrender and wus defeated by them. John Knechtel. nuu of Fremont's oldest merchants, wus forced to close tho doors of his general merchandise store yesterday. Two claims, tho Fre mont national bunk, 83, 487.40, and May Pros., 81,028.28 are covered by the whole stock, fixtures und book ai-counts. After this week the government' f xhihit of its life saving service prom ises to be nn attraction that Is alone worth the admission price. Difficulties unforeseen at the start, have inter fered and delayed getting It ,tn readi ness, but these have been surmounted and henceforth that Is one of the many good things that can be seeu. An ex hibit in the life-saving station that is attracting a greut deal of attention is the first mortar used for saving life in tho United States. It was used ut Squan Reach, N. J., when the English ship Ayrshire wus lost, January 12, 1850. The shot that carried the line on that occasion is also on exhibition, and copper plates Inserted In both toll briefly the story of how 201 lives were saved by this means. 'Die .shot was n round twenty-pounder, and the mor tor barely six inches deep, both very different from Hie modern Lylu gnus and their elongated projectiles that ure on e.xhlbltlon.elose by. The regulnr 50c rate for Sunday ad mission has been restored. Willie It does not serve to cut down the aver age gate receipts, tt cuts the attend a nee, and shuts. out a good ninny who can pay 25u but who cannot pay thf full price. Mr. McGarvic, superintendent oi specinl days, writes that the people of St. Joseah are making preparations for u big tlmo there August 13, the special day for thnt city. They are going to bring several tally-hos und a brass bund, und the indications are thut a large number of citizens will tic company the city officials. August 0 will be Kansas City day. The bureau of music is taking steps to make special, musical ideas the principal features during the next few weeks. Every Monday evening will bo devoted entirely to popular music concerts, whou no overtures or classic selections will bo played, but the catchy new airs and tho old songs that huve had a warm place in publiu estimation for n generation or more will have the call. On Thursday cvejllngs the program will be given over to concerts In the Grand Court, where the exposition chorus will have full swing, and various novelties in the way of Greek lire Illumination will be blended with inusiu on tin wuter. Keep posted on tho various special days and make preparation to visit the exposition. Something over 100 Missouri editors and their wives visited tho exposition last week. Superintendent T. J. Kelly Is dally looking for definite information re garding the coming of the Mexican band, Negotiations have been in pro gress for government ngent, in the immigration of this famous musical on gunizatiou. .. The Nebraska Telephone company fs installing a model exhibit In the Machinery and Electricity building. It will be a complete telephone exchange, equipped with the latest features in the way of electrical Invention. It will consist of multiple switchboards for 1,440 subscribers, with the new automatic signals, by which tho mere uct of taking the telephone off the hook signals tho operator without ringing the bell, and also notifies her of the conclusion of the conversation. Several new wrinkles will be Intro duced thut will interest everybody, and General Munager Lune is rushing the work of installation in order thut tho new exchange may be speedily put in operation with all the phones on the ground, The first attraction at the Indian rongress village has arrived. It is a sharp herooii bull buffalo from Mon 'tanu. Ito will be followed by others, and u moose. These animals are to be chased by mounted redskins, roped, and the like. The Indians wlil'follow uboul August 1 to 10 und the show will bo opened at once. Large water tanks ure being placed where the squaws can do their washing and the little In dians oun tuku their baths, und "Rat tlesnake Pete" says they will no doubt be full of little Indians most of the Urt. Of all the Institutions In Manila tho English Club Is the most Interesting to the American. One Iioh only to Jour ney to that rnpltal In the fur east to find out what an Important factor In tho Ufa of the foreign resident that samo English club Is, which somehow binds the community together, nnd makes a side-tracked capital much tnoro livable by reason ot Its exist ence. The English Club is not only a sort of social center and bureau of information, hut is also a trade center, at which Bales aro made, contracts closed and deals consummated. If you want n man and he Is not to bo found elscwhero during business hours, send to tho club for him or go there your self at about noon, and you arc sura to find him slaking his thirst nnd talking to somebody. In Manila tho club afforded shelter nnd cocktails to Its members at two widely separated points of tho com pass ono Just on tho banks of tho Pnslg, where Its waters, coming down from tho big lake nt the foot of the mountains, aro first introduced to the outlaying suburbs of the city, nnd the other in tho heart of the business sec tion. Tho same set of nntlvo servants practically served for both "depart ments," since no one uses up town during tho middle of tho day nnd no ono down town after business hours, As n result on weok days, after the light breakfast of the early morning was over tit the up town building thu staff of waiters aud assistants hurried down town In tho tram cars and made ready for the noon meal at the other structure, returning again to the sub urbs in time to officiate nt dinner. At tho suburban clubhouse, in Nag- tnjnn wore the dining room, parlor, bil liard rooms, bowling alley, bed ehuni bers for members nnd guests, and a boathouse for thoso who had the en ergy to "buck" the muddy current of tho Pnslg In the heavy working boats. In the down town or tiffin rooms wero merely the "breakfast parlor" and li brary, with a billiard table perched out In the hallway, the whole establish ment was modestly loentcd on u perma nent corner In tho main street, over tho office ot an English bunk. At 10 o'clock in tho morning the brokers nnd heads of houses used toaB semblo at the tiffin rooms ns n sort ot chamber of commerce, nnd discuss the news from home as related in tho pri vate cablegrams. At noon the mem bers of the foreign business community stopped work and most ot them re turned to the club for the hearty break fast which was served below the luzlly swinging punkahs. This was the first square meal of the day, and consisted of so many Varied courses that long sleeping chairs wero provided in the library for the comfort of members, most of whom found nn hour's rest absolutely ncecssnry after a battle with Chinese curry and canned plum pud ding. , l'rlcen Varied. Tiffin was supplied on every business day In tho month to subscribers for $13.50 Mexican, or about $7 in gold. If thero wero few holidays In tho mouth, the price per meal was cheap enough, say 25 cents; hut when those ever recurrent church feast days came along sometimes two a week meals wero suspended down town, nnd the club got the best ot the bargain. At such times tho body of servants re mained at tho suburban establishment, and the "tiffin" cost n dollar. Tho library in the tiffin rooms was excellent, consisting us it did of some 7,000 volumes and a set ot original Arabian Nights kept In a big tin box near tho door. All of the latest papers and magazines six weeks old though thoy were could be found on tho ta blesi and nothing Induced, sleep so easily after that hearty breakfast as the slowly swaying punkah and tho perusal of stale news. The punkah bo?" slept with the rest and pulled on In his (dreams. If ho awoke, the cool ing arrangement generally stopped, and someone would throw Sir John Lubbock across the room to put him to sleep again. In Manila in times of. peace, the whole city slumbers from twelve to three. Carriages dlsnppear from tho streets, the shops draw down their blinds, und the little one-horse tram car Is about the only sign of life. At 3 o'clock tho mercury begins to sink a llttlo and llfo revives. At 4 tho En glish officers served tea, toast and Jam to customers and clerks, nnd at C the community paid a final visit to the tiffin rooms before driving to tho prom enade or to tho up-town club at Nag tajen. If they went to the promenade at the Luneta, the forolgners saw hun dreds of carriages circulating around a slightly raised eclipse 1,00,0 feot long, whose center was marked with a lurge band stand, und whose surrounding roadway wbb guarded by mounted po lice that kept the carriages In file. And nobody but the governor general and archbishop can turn his currluge in tho opposite direction from tho gen eral left to right movement. Directly In front lies the great bay, with the sun going down in the lloca Chica between tho hardly visible Island ot Corregldor and tho mainland 30 mile awny. To tho roar is n stretch of green parade ground, clumps of bam boo trees ronceullng houses, and the distant mountains. To tho right lis flie corner battery und walls of old Manila, and to the left the attractive suburb of Ermltn and tho stretch ot ( shore running along toward Cavlto. Carriages of nil sorts mode up tho procession, as it lucd to be, and wero filled with stately Spanish couples or groups of overdressed native women In crushed strawberry gowns, or hunted looking Chinese. And ono could gen erally depend upon It thnt the people who drovo In the finest victorias uvea In the poorest houses and had the least for dinner. For SpnnUh officers and their wives preferred to look well on tho Lunetn rather than to live well nt homo. Men, boys nnd tastefully dressed children thronged the ellipse at those times or sat along the edges of tho curblug facing the bay In thoso wicker chairs which look so nttrnctlve In tho windows of our East India shops. Outdoor Ainuirment. Now and then tho cool weather of tho northeast monsoon would stimu late tho menthols ot the club to get up n smoking concort, in which the nu dlonru was mostly composed of tho performers uwnltlng their turn or to give a dance In return for hospitalities received at hands ot few European hostesses In the colony. On tho lat ter occasions everybody was Invited, tho grounds on the river bank wero lighted, by scores of soft .fairy lamps suspended from tho llaugllnng trees, whose perfume oil sells for $40 a pound nnd tho verandas, almost overhanging the wuter, was filled 'With email sup per tables. To step In on the scene in tho midst of tho dance with native orchestras playing wultzcs seductively m thoso at home, with beautifully drcssod women in the latest Paris fash ions fighting for salads or Ices, as If they hud gone without djnners for ti week In anticipation of tlie event, and with lean Spanlnrda trying to stow nwny enough tnent nnd drlng for days to come -with all this nnd more, too, It was hard to believe that you wero 11,000 miles from Gotham and 8,000 from Paris. SO1? AND 1Tb uoES. Lilt KiiEland Mich Amiing Urn Nation, tlin fulled Ntatm nt the Head There Is now exported from Great Britain more soap than wub used In Groat Brltnln at tho beginning of the present century, and, besides, accord ing to authontle figures, 400,000,000 pounds of soup Is used In Great Brit ain every year, exclusive of 55,000, 000 pounds exported to other coun tries, chiefly English colonies. The French manufacture ot soap amounts approximately to 300,000,000 pounds n year, the larger part of which Is mndo in the city of Paris. Tho sale in other countries of French soap and particularly French perfumed soap.vjs a considerable Item of commerce. Tho exports of soap from Great llrltnln In recent years have been us follows: 1875, 12,500 tons; 1886, 10.500; 1885. 20,100; 1890. 25.000; 1805, 27,500. What wero known In England us tho soan taxes originated during the reign of Queen Anno and were orig inally fixed at $160 n ton yielding "in the year 1830 n public revenue in ex cess of $7,000,000. An official estimate receutly mado 'shows theaverago con sumption per. inhabitant of Great Urltaln to bo nine pounds a year: a similar average prevails In France, Belgium nnd Holland, though a popu lar belief ascribes to the Inst country n much larger use of soup, particular ly for housoclcaning. there nro no official figures on tho subject, but thero Is u general belief that very lit tle soup is used in Spain. Certainly no snap is imported into that country (the Spanish blockado on soap has been of long duration) and none is exported from it. Tho United States stand ut the head of all other coun tries In the use, it not in the manu facture, of soap. The nvorngo expor tutlous ut American soap in a year amount to .",0,000,000 pounds. Tho im nortntlon Into tho United States of soap .amounts to 3,000,000 pounds, or one-tenth as much. There are nearly 500 soup factories in tho United States, with a cush capital ot $25,000,000, us ing mntorlals to the value of $30,000, 000 and gtvlng employment to 10,000 perfons. In the number of such es tablishments New York stands first among American cities, but prior to its enlargement Philadelphia bad tho first pluce, New York second, and Brooklyn third. Boston, San Fran cisco and Cincinnati follow in the or der named, ami lti respect of the valuo of materials used in soup making Chicago comes first, having mnny fa cilities for procuring them, but turn ing out a cheap and Inferior grade of soap.

The longevity ot the ballot danoern evidently has n pinrc substantial foun dation than tho Jokes ot the humor ists who have found ho much to nmuso thotu in tho persistency with which the premieres cling to their profession.

The first reflection whtch occurs Is to represent the great mistake of refusing to bellevo in the continuity of individ ual life because of the Incomprehen sibility of It. Existence around us, Il luminated by modern science, is full of antecedently Incredible occurrences; one more or less mnkes no .logical dif ference. Thero Id, noflUrely rfct a sin gle prodigy in ithe, ancient tclljflons but has Its everyday Illustration In nature. The transrormauunB uijciua slc gods and goddesses are grossly.fcom monplaco to tho magic of the medusa, which is now filling our oummer'seat with flontlng bolls ot crystal and ame thyst, Born from the glassy goblet ot their mother, tho young tajdroxooa becomes first a free gerxn, rewmblln a rice grain; next a fled cupJWjtb four lips; then those lips turn to tentacle, nnd it is a hyaline flower, which pres ently splits across the calyx lntoyaeg ments, and the protean thing has grown into a pine cone, crowned wun a xuu of transparent filaments. -The cdn chnnges Into a scrfes. of pea dalshs. threaded on a pearly .stalk; and theso one by one brenk off and float away, each a perfect llttlo medusa, with tlie purple bell nnd trailing tentacles.
