predicted will be the greatest fair since the
Columbian exposition In 1893.
Everything in in readiness for this most

splendilly and should tomorrow be as fair
as today. it is believed the liresident's voice

so far advance(1 as to gIve to tIre 'visitors
the impression of what everything Is to
be. The Horticultural buildIng is nearly
filled with elegant exhibits. Those of a
horticultural nature are the products of
Nebraska , Iowa , Missouri , Montana and hill-
ibis , and consist of the very choicest fruIts
obtainable. The large and elegant display
of Los Angeles county , California , occupies
'a prominent place , besides being a most
attractive feature. The different florists of ,
Nebraska have splendid collections ' of
plants , bushes , palms , ate. , whIch , owing
to the position they occupy under the dome ,
adds materially to their appearance as well
as that of the entire InterIor. The moss coy-
ered mounds of earth , the beautiful beds of
flowers , over which liangis the large foliage ,
all add to the richness of the ( lisplay. The
large century plant of V. ' . J. hiesser of
I'lattsrnouth , Neb , , was transported to the
interior of the building yesterday afternoon
and now occupies the spacodirectly in the

LONDON , May 31.--New ( York World
Cablegram-Special Telegram.-Tbo ) high-
eat military experts bercapprove the CAU-
tlous and deliberate plan of campaign pursued -
sued by General Miles in relation to the invasion -
vasion of Cuba. I have been favored wIth
the following signed opinion by General Sir
James Ihovan Edwards , Itt. P. , of The en-
litneors , who aerved wIth tlistinctfon in the
Crimean and Indian mutiny , also In China ,
later in the Suakin expedition and a leading
English authority on fortifications , who
says :
"In reply to your request for my opinIon
as to the invasion of Cuba , the difficulties
to be expected and how they may be overcome -
come , I regret to say I have no personal
knowledge of the Island or of the means of
defense Of , ho Spaniards. There are , however -
ever certain definite principles which must
be observed which are applicable alL over
in sea and military expeditions. In the
first place the command of the sea must ho
assured before embarking on such an undertaking -
taking , and this involves the destruction ,
capture or sealing up of the enemy's ships :
otherwise your expedition Is liable at any
moment to be seriously Interfered with and
Its safety imperiled. In the next place the
forces required for invasion lutIst be of suf-
flcient strength to ensure the defeat of the
enemy and the captura.of his strongholds.
"Invasion should not bo undertaken , there-
tore , till you have complete command of
the sea , - your army thoroughly organized ,
completely equipped and of sufficient
strength to bring the invasion to a stic-
cessful conclusion. Time spent in perfecting -
ing your army before it leaves the shores
of America will not be lost and an attempt
should , not be made until' the army is- ready
to undertake the operation , po matter what
pressure tony be brought to bear upon the
government to hasten Invasion. I imagine
the capture of either havana , Santiago , or
both , will be the objective , but if the Spanish -
ish fleet is bottled up in Santiago the cx-
pedition should first be sent to co-operate
with the navy for its capture or destruc-
tion. The fleet cannot , I shpuld think , force
the nafrow entrance of Santiago harbor
without very great risk and must therefore
be supported by the co-operation of land
forces.
'This would be an operation on a small
scale similar to the attack on Sebastopol
by the French-English forces when the an-
vies of those -powers had bottled up the
Russians in the harbor of Sebastopol and
then landed military forces to co-operate
in the attack on the harbor. Having once
disposed of the enemy's ships the invasIon
of Cuba beconica a simple operation and
merely a work of time , as .tho command
of the sea will enable you to invade Cuba
from as many points as you choose. Dif-
ficuities to be pver osne in the operation
of invading forces will be such as arc corn-
mon to all expeditions of this nature , but
will be greatly minimized by the perfect
organization of forces before , the expedition
is undertaken. Ever' provisIon will , of
course , be made to protect the troops from
the effect of the climate and to overcome
tiio difficulties of communIcatIon and for
this purpose material for light railways
should be provided. "

as foreign bankers ask preposterous guarantees -

tions of rancor against England for its sym-

what power or powers are behind the
scenes prompting Spain to pick a quarrel
with England and provoke European and
Mediterranean complicities that might redound -

gics with the United States.
It is difficult to imagine the disappointment -

In Communal of the
ForeN ,
KEY WEST , Pie. , May 31.-The steamer
Florida returned hero at 7 a. in. today from
Cuba , having Buccessiully landed a most
important expedition on1 the island ,
.
The Florida has been quarantined , but it
may ho roleascd in an hour or so , So far
not a line of authentic news bus left the
ship. Senor Polo , the looM delegate of the
Cuban junta , has official intdrmation that
the Florida expedition has been landed.
Nearly 400 inca with a pack train and a
large quantity of arm anti ammunition
sailed for Cuba on the steamer Florida -
ida on the night of May 2. These men and
the equipment constituted an expedition able
to operate independen'tly'aihd to defend itself
against any body of Sp5nish. troops which
might oppose it. The epedition was under
the command of Colon'el Jose Laerot , for-
inerly insurgent cominatider in Matanzas
province , lIe assumed the direction of at-
fairs Immediately 'on the landing of the cx-
pedition. Until then General Joaqulu Castillo -
tillo was Ia control. In the loading of. the
expedition the United States army was
represented by Captain 3. A. Dorst and
Tomes Estrada Palrna wits represented by .7.
B. Cnrtaya , who has been the landing agent
of nearly every flhibustorng expedition for
morothan a year. Messr&CastilloandCartaya
will return to Key \Vcst. 'tieneral Julio San-
guilly , on the way to repott to General Max-
imo Gomez , was also , on khe boat. This is
tile most powerful anti-Spanish expedition
over sent to Cuba. AboutthOO of tile men are
Cubans. The others are Americans. The
engineer corps of the expddltiou is composed
entirely of Americans , untlor Aurealian
Lathi , and with the party'are Americans.
Venr CniVnsN tiniforiuM.
The men were dressed i'ii canvas duifornis
furnisbcd by the United ptates govo'rnment
and the cQmmlssary deqrtrnent had rations
enough to last fifteen aIa'y'aftet the landing ,
Thui pack train conslstrfi of seventy-five

The expedition is comI-\"e Ilordy young

General anguilIy's rcthrn to Cuba is a
remarkable 'inclilent in his extraordinary
career. His gallant scices in the ten
years' war , his' ari'est in Havana at the he-
ginning of the preseqt insurrection , his sea-
tears to death and Jia relea3e at' the ifl.
tercession of Secretary berman , . on a premise -
iso to remain outside of $ 'uba , has made him
a conspicuous man. About , six months ago
General Gomes ordered him to report for
duty. antI ho did notobey. Now ho is going
to humble himself before "the old man , "
and Culans say that General Goinez Is ,
likely to receive him grnIfl.ip take away hIs
sword and order him to fight in the ranks ,
General C.ornez is a stickler for obedience. '
General Enrique ahlazo , through the failure -
ure of the junta to land him in Cuba after
the death of General thtonio Maceo , was
unable to take the command to which ho
had been assigned When he did reach
Cuba later , with an important expeditIon ,
General Games reduced him to the rank of
colonel as a punishment for his failure to
obey the previouso'rder. Thia action was
taken notwithstanding the fact that Callazo
and General Gomex are very dear friends ,
The expedition 'was , convoyed by the
cruiser Marblehead , the torpedo boat destroyer -
stroyer Eagle and other war ships. Two
younger brothers of the late General Nester
Aranguren are with the , expedition.
IoiI 3llo'e by Lneret ,
When the present revolution In Cuba
began General Jose Lacret Monet , by which
title he is popularly known , secured passage
on the steamer Mascotte for Jamaica on
his way to Cuba. The EnglIsh government
had information regarding Lncret's movements -
ments and prevented him sailing for Cuba
from Jamaica. Ho then went to Mexico and
later to Now York. At the latter place he
consulted with the junta and returned to
Tampa. hero he embarked on the steamer
Olivette for Havana in the garb of a priest.
Still in the garb of a priest he hoarded a
train for lIngua Ia Grapde. Accompanying
him were a large number of Spanish
soldiers. Being highly qducated , a man of
good presence and a "padre" was sufficient
to give him entree int the best society of
Sagua Ia Graside. Laret stopped at the
flnet hotel and when I the cafe sat at the

wIth its guns ready for action , scouted
about the vicinity looking for an enemy , but
the Spaniards apparently had no suspicion
of what was taking place. So easily was
the dangerous mission accomplished that
while some inenibers of tha party were getting -
ting the supplies ashore , others were providing -
viding themselves with fruit , sugar and
other products of the landing place , a large
stock of which was brought back to Key
\Vest friends.
Nevertheless , no precautionary measure
was ii glated , and the moment the work
was concluded the Florida and the Osceola
slipped away , leaving the insurgents to convey -
vey their reinforcements into the interior ,
which it is confidently expected was done
without any casualty.
The returning 'members of the Florida
party brought with them several hundred
private letters , -which it is understood gave
a complete insight into the present conditions -
tions prevailing In the blockaded Island.
Thp local colony is elated over the astonishing -
ing success of the expedition.
CADIZ FLEET IS ON PAPER
'W'onderfou1 Stories of Camaro's I'oSs'-
erfisi' Squitairoil Slave No 'rerrors
for \Vusha laiglon Olilcials.
WASHINGTON , May3l.--Tho frequent
reports from Spain through other countries
to tile effect that a formidable fleet is being
prepared at Cadiz to sail for the West Indies -
dies In aid of Corvern causes little appre-
hcnsion hero. Naval officers , through pri-
yate means of communication , have pretty
'well satisfied themselves that the Cadiz
fleet Is a paper fleet. In otlier words , its
offlinsive power is altogether Illusory.
More than halt of the vessels whoso
names appear so frequently in the press
dispatches as formidable war craft are of
antiquated type 001(1 In a state of disorder.
The old Numancia Is an example. It is
rated as a battleship of the first class. In
its day it was a battleship , but it has not
a turret nor a sponson and would be little
more than sport for a modern ironclad.
In addition to being antiquated , most of
these vessels are brokeli down in engines
and boilers. In their reckless disregard of the
simplest precautions for the preservation
of the complex machinery of a war ship the
SpanIards are excelled by no people , and
it Is vcil known that they liavo been
obliged to hire British engineers to run
their engines whenever they did run ,
There are some vessels , although very
few , at Cadlz , of modern type. but they are
not admerous nor powerful enough to give
our na\'y any serious concern.
Of course , It Is not to be understood
from this' that our naval ofljclals are slog-
heeling to take precautions against surprise
at Santiago. They have thrown scouts vell
out to the eastward of Cuba , so that they
may rec'elva quick notice if any of the Cadis
fleet was foolIsh enough to have started
'a day or two ago for the West Indies , as is
now reported from Europe.
The report that the rnpo has addressed
himself to President McKinley directly in
an effort to bring ahout peace between the
United States and Spain , proves upon investigation -
tigation to be groundless. It is not be.
lioved that the rontiff would be led into the
rather unusual course of addressing himself
directly to our chief executive.
