The Platte county school exhibit at
the Trans-Missis8ippi is very commend
able and will compare favorably with
any there. Among the displays are
seme excellent drawings by Myrtle
Leech of Humphrey. A collection of
soil in glasses from each county of the
state sent by Vtss Lizzie Sheehen's pu
pils in Humphrey is very interesting.
A miniature dwelling-house made by
Adolf Marty of Nekorille- aged 11 years,
(school district No. 4S), a neatly built
out of card board. If the young man
continues in the same line he will no
doubt make a first-class architect. The
pupils from Charles Welch's school
havean. admirable exhibit, among them
a map of the U. S. that attracts special
attention for its merits. From the Co
lumbus schools are a number of inter
esting selections of 'various kinds from,
eut paper work to electric batteries.
Prof- Weavers room have a collection of
'woods from Platte county, part of each
piece being highly polished to show the
beautiful grain "of the wood. Prof.
Weaver is active in school 'work in bring
ing rue pupils near to nature by inter
esting them in such studies as this.
There are some excellent drawings by
Victor Schober and Tom Wilson. The
latter showing some portrait works.
among which are Lute North. L- H.
Leavy and others. Prof. Britell's class
in philosophy have a great many pieces
of real machinery thaS are in working
order. Prof. Britell believes and teaches

the following: Electro metal-Iurgy
spoons, galvanometer Rhumkarf induc
tion coil, electric ball, static electric ma
chine, electric motor, electric telegraph

At .the lYsat:
Is CXSCP SC1R SAXTLiGO DE CUBA, i
July 27,1898..
Deab .Faxheb. asd MarffTR: Your
letter of the 6th inst-'just receiwid and
I 'hasten to answer it. The mail', is
handled very slowly here and is allowed
to lie about in bags many days before-it
is distributed. I cannot say just where
the blame should rest but it is certain f
that it could be handled properly if an
effort were made.
We have moved our camp since I
wrote you last but it is no material
change as we are about the same dis
tance from the city (one mile) and
merely took a new position two miles to
the right of the ground formerly oc
cupied. It would be useless for me to attempt
an account of the operations of the army
here as you have greater facilities for
obtaining news through the newspapers
than we who are at the scene of action.
I will give you a summary of my per
gonal experience and the details can be
reserved until my return. The Second
infantry was on the left of Gen.Pierson'3
brigade which formed the extreme Ief.t
of the tiring line. On the evening of the
1st inst. we had reached a .point about
one mile from the cityv the Spanish
batteries and ride-pits being in plain
view. From this position the battle was
continued on the 2d and 3d; a truce was
then effected which lasted until the
afternoon of the 10th when firing was
again resumed and continued until nooo
of the next day. The truce was renewed
at this juncture and continued until the
surrender. During this time (from July
1st. to 14th inclusive) we remained in
our entrenchments without any protec
tion from the burning rays of the trop
ical -San or the soaking rains which
occur almost daily. Of course such
slight inconveniences as these have not
dampened our ardor in the least and we
are ready to move on Havana as soon as
the word is given. Dnring the first day
of tha fight we were without food as we
discarded our haversacks early in the
morning in order to go into the engage
ment without any unnecessary accou
trements. About noon of the next day
a detachment was sent back to secure
the rations from the haversacks. A
piece of raw bacon and a conple of
-hard tack" was the result of this expe
dition and we considered onrselves for
tunate in securing this. Thereafter we
managed to secure a small supply each
day and up to the present have expe
rienced no shortage of the above -mentioned
stapfe articles. During the
battle Company C lost four men killed,
five wounded and one a sergeant) who
was sent to the rear with a wounded
man on the evening of the 1st inst. is
still missing.
I was fortunate enough to escape
without injury and my health still con
tinues to be of the best although the
majority of the men are feelinjr. the
effects of the exposure and hardships
which we have had. and are still, to somw
extent, undergoing.
T certainly hope and evpect to be with
you to celebrate your eightieth birth
day, as I am confident that the war will
be 'ended ere then.
Owing to the long l
delay in the transmission of mail ne are
lamentably ignorant of the war situa
tion in general. Rumors we have in
plenty, though none are reliable.
Please continue to send The Jochsai.
to the same address. Argus and Jour
sai. received today with letter. Many
thanks for same, . Hoping3tbat you are
both well I will close.

New York, Aug. 10. A dispatch to

Hong Kong, says: .
The third Phillipine expedition is here,
twenty-two days out from Honolulu.
Never did an expedition encounter more
dangers or endure more perils. On the
voyage six men and one officer died and
fifty more were taken sick. Typhoid
and meningitis played havoc on the
transports. Two firemen went insane
and leaped overboard. But fire was the
worst peril of alL
Three days out from Hawaii, fire was
discovered aboard the transport Morgan
City, a blaze in one ofthe coal bunkers.
Captain'Dfllon assembled the crew, told
them the news, pledged them to secrecy,
and from that time day and night dur
ing the' voyage the crew fought the fire
without the troops knowing of tneir
danger.- .
The bunkers were still burning when
the Morgan City arrived at Manila, and
then for the first time the troops learned
of their danger. They were 60) Idaho

claiming that-there was an excess of the

valid as was also the tender made by the ,
railroad company of its share of the 20-1
