L1coLN : June 4.-pectaI.-The ( ) origi-
! 1n1 plon of Mr. flran's to be promote0 br
UcceMIye 8tages from a private to colonel
of a regiment hai' ' been abaniloned. The
announcement was offlclally made today ot
_ _ _ _
% bts appointment ai colonel at the Thin !
regiment , without waiting for him to flit the
Lntenneljnte polt1cns.
The appolntment. of Victor Vlfqualn as
lieutenant colonel and Dr. S. D. Mercer as
Mrgeon general of the regiment itre also
announcel.
It is learned that. In seteral cases there
has been much dliflculty In filling up the
compnnies for the Bryan regiment , anti that
the recruiting olflcers would like to accept
. the offer at an Omaha paper which guaran.
_ _ _ _ _ teed to enlist nnd mobilize 1OOO men in
three dayi time or 10,000 in ten days.
One of the few companies ready Is that
( recruited at Wakefield. Captain .J. H. Brown
b of this company writes today that he has
106 men enlisted and has thirty extra to
nil vacancleg , and that he can move his company -
pany on four hours notice. He says that
I forty of his men came from Dixon county.
t thirty-two from Wayne , twnty-ntne from
L Pierce. fteen from Burt , four from Dakota
t and six from Cedar. io found no recruith
In Thurston county , and says that the men
_
" ( in Cedar county did not seem very de-
airous of enlisting. "
; . - While the Nebraska troops were encamped
I here a general dislike was formtd for Lieutenant -
tenant Stotsenberg , the regular army officer -
! ficer appointed by the governor aa major In
the First regiment. This was on account
of Stotsenberg's cold manner. ant his as-
- - sumotion of sunertority. as well as on an-
cout of his intrigues , which resulted in
tile discharging of several olil olficers of
the state guard. Stot.senberg has just written -
ten a letter to the goeraor's o1et , In which
he claims the honor 0 ! securIng the pay for
the Nebraska soldiers. and intimates that
f this money might have been wrongfully ex-
I pended. This letter , which has adileil to the
, unpopularity of the omcer , rends In part as
tollows
"I would like to have you express to the
governor the appreciation of all the officers
j nd men of ray battalion at least ( althougii
I know that the same feeling exists through-
mit the regiment ) . for the prompt and ( a-
'rorabie responac to my telegram for funds
to pay the regiment. I am glad to say that
' so far as I know these funds were properly
used. "
The state orncials say that the idea of
paying the Nebraska soldiers was originated
long before Stotsenberg's telegram was received -
ceived and that his message had nothing
to do with espettltfng the payment , which
was made as soon as ossibie.

Harvey Waite , a 15-year-old boy. was
drowned while bathing 1 Salt creek , west
of the city , yesterday afternoon. He was
awimming In a deep place in the channel
of the creek when he was taken with a
cramp and sank. Two other boys who were
also In the creek ran for assistance. but it
was two hours before young Waite's body
was taken out of the water.
The colored people of Lincoln were giving
a play In a Q street hall last night and
burned red lights during the tableau. Some
people on the street saw the light and
smoke coming fam the , windows of the
stage end of the ball and a ftre alarm was
turned in. The colored brethren soon had
a much larger audience than they counted
on and it was some time before the excite-
ment. was quieted down. The hail Is located
in the third story of a business block and
some cool heads among the management of
the entertainment kept down a panic that
might have resulted seriously.
The contract has been signed whereby
. Lincoln Is to secure the annual meeting of
the Epworth assembly for the next five
years. The location is at Lincoln park and
the Epwortb people will make the necessary
changes and improvements at the park ,
this being part of the contract. It is estimated -
mated that the Improvements will cost
about $ lOO. The assembly for this year
will convene In June.

MONTREAL , Quebec. May 3d , 1893.-To
His Excellency. Hon. Jose Gomez Imay : It
was my belief that they would have appointed -
pointed you to command the Cadhx fleet
anti it was ray Intention to have sent you
a telegram asking that you take me with
you to meet you in the Antilles , or wherever
you might say. The case has not turned
out thus. however. ant ! it seems as though
God were not on our side , because the election -
tion of Senor Camara. I fear. will be fatal ,
although he may have a good chief of staff.
No one could possibly suit him , because be
is very capricious. and besides is not a hard
worker ; on the contrary. he is lazy anti
would pay no attention to the advice of any
one. You will not take this for flattery , but
today no one but you and Don Pasquale
Cervera should have command of our fleet ,
and this is the belief of the younger ele-
meet of the personnel. Now there is no

I suppose that he went to the south or Porto
Rico and that he had ordered a cruiser or
two there to cover the Terror and that he
will appear at San Juan the 27th or 28th.
He will coal there and will rest a day or
two and then return to the invasion. The

into dry dock.
I : telegraphed to Don Pasquele on the

in Santiago , saying that the squadrons were
at Key Vest. He did not answer me. That
aft rnoon I received a telegram from Madniti
I saying be had left Santiago. I continued
I sending messages to General l3lanco in respect -
spect to all the movements , and now so far
, as I know Don Pasqucie has arrived at Ports
Rico. where I shall try to communicate with
him. If he should have set out for Martinique -
tinique or Havana , having twenty-four
hours' advantage , he would have arrived be-
fore now. I am very much afraid lest they
I I attack Porto Rico by lam ! and sea and put
I off the attack on Havana. They are not
going to do more than try to take the lut-
ter and they think then it they destroy our
fleet of taking the war into Spain , with Ha-
I vana already in their power. They have no I
. confidence in their army. but they have in
their navy , and they are afraid of our army
and of yellow fever. because if the noon
should begin to die in Cuba there would be
a tremendous row. as they are not like our
people. Any way. we shall see when there is
news of the fleet. I expect it tomorrow.

most total lack of preparations. If the Cadiz

Portland anti Long Island it can do it now.
but after a few months it would be too late.
I think if we are to have any success in
this matter it will be through treating for
peace , by yielding Cuba and having theta
recognize the debt. It we do not do this
soon it will be too late and we shall lose
Cuba and Porto Rico and all that this war
has cost us. and in addition we shall be
charged with the Cuban debt , for which our
treasury i.e responsible. There Is no doubt
here that we cannot continue this war. as
we have nothing to gain and may lose our
three colonies and be ruined for fifty years.
In the matter of money , there is no patriot-
tern. Proof is given by the bank. which
ought to have bought gold , although at a
premium of 100 per cent , and issued notes
against it in the sante or slightly greater
quantity. With 150,000,000 pesetas It has
made it 1,300,000,000 pesetas. This is Cite
moment of the year at which , instead of
returning 23 or 24 per cent , It returns only
12 or 15 per cent. As regards its buying
goltt , exchange has gone down and if In
buying 400,000,000 petetas it issues 500,000 , .
000 petsetas , paying 600 or 700. Inasmuch as
the state subscribes at the rate of 5 per
cent , this would represent to the bank an
interest of about 3 per cent and its dividend
would have gone down very little. The bank
is the nation. and with the nation it has
grown rich by offering paper money which
I it did not have in its treasury and by get-
log Interest on that which it had never
given out. But whatever the bank tiu's.
nobody dares object except those who Iitve

I have written to the minister. but I did
not give him so much news of the fleet as

Regimental anti company drills are the artier
here today. The departure of Inspector Con-
eral I3reckinridge and staff for Tampa. cancelled -
celled the seconti day's inspection of the
First division of the Third army corps and
the elaborate maneuvers of yesterday were
not repeated today , as was intended. The
work of instructing the volunteers in the
art of handling of firearms will now begin.
A number of rifle ranges will be established
at once , and neSt week all the regiments
will be given target practice. Captain Rockwell -
well of the Ordnance department is doing
his utmost to equip the regiments with
arms , ammunition , etc. , and is succeeding as
rapidly as possible. He practically equipped
five regiments yesterday , and other regiments -
ments will be OlUiPPed as fast as the supplies -
plies arrive.
It is now generally believed that the First
Ohio cavalry will be sent to Tampa during
the next few days. The regiment is thoroughly -
oughly equipped and has the new Krag-Jor-
gensen rides. The new rifles were issueti
I to this regiment on account of a strong
probability of its accompanying the regular
cavalry to Cuba.
Speaking of the press reports to the of-
feet that t'Ie War department has ordereti
the park to be put in condition for the entertainment -
tertainment of 75,000 troops all summer.
Lieutenant Colonel Richards said that no no-
,
I lice to that effect fiat ! been r000lvp(1 ( at Gen-
eral Brooke's heatiquarters. He added , how-
ever. that if sufficient volunteers are sent
here to complete the Third and Sixth corps ,
as wa't the oriInsi intention , there will be
75,000 troops here anyhow. Colonel Richards -
ards said further that if each of those corps
is recruited to their full strength there will
be 90,000 troops at the park when the Sixth
corps Is completed. There is now practi-
cahly no complaint anywhere In the big
camp. The men are getting used to army
rations and the supply of water is abundant. ,
Adjutant General Arthur McArthur left
General Wade's headquarters last night for
San Francisco , where he will assume corn-
mand of a brigade of troops for the Philippine -
pine islands. He was recently made a brigadier -
dier general.
.tll the regiments are making strenuous
efforts to recruit to their full strength in
compliance with orders issued a few days
ago. A number of recruiting officers have
been sent out and are actively at. work ,

OFF SANTIAGO DE CtiLt , June 3.-Per (
the Associated Press Dispatch Boat 11'anda ,
via Kingston , Jamaica , June 4.-The ) last
cable strands binding Cuba to the outside
world were cut this afternoon by a cable
vessel convoyed here by the Uoiteti States
dispatch gunboat Dolphin. This black sea
crab delved all day along the coast , hour
by hour , anti its powerful claws at length
brought up the barnacle-clustered cable
strands and snapped them , and tonight Cuba
is wholly isolated.
The first cable picked up was that running
to Kingston. It was found early this mora-
iog. The coast loop connecting Santiago and
Guantanamo was then cut. Proceeding to
Guantanamo the cable vessel finally grappled -
pled and severed the Haytien cable. Tbis
ends the cable cutting operations begun a
month ago , when the Marblehead anti tht
Windom lost five men in a fight off Clen-
fuegas , where three cables were crippled
and several hunilrett Spaniards were kflled
by shells from the war ships. Afterwarti the
St. Lottie anti the Wampatuc cut the San
Juan de Ports Rico cable at Santiago. The
strands cut today were the only ones re- .
roaming , except a few coast loops , and these
will probably be severed In a. short time.
The cutting of these cables is almost as
serious for the Spaniards in coast towns as
the cutting of foreign cable , the land wires
Connecting the coast town being wholly at
the mercy of the insurgents. Therefore. in
the event of American troops landing in
Cuba , the absence of the coast ioops will
seriously interfere with the hasty mobilization -
tion of the Spanish troops.
The United States anti Hayti Cable corn-
pany anti the Commercial Cable company
have not been notified of any Interruption
of the service anti they' were sUil accept-
log buelness this morning for Cuba.
