' - SunEbine cAme gatn at tbe expoUOn n rOUDdB yesterday and after a rain that 1 . _ ? ad fallen with more or less pcretrtence , : for thlrtyslx hours the turf and flower bcdt acquired new beautke In Its warm rad1ante. 11auy of the young plants had tten beaten don by the heavy rainfall , but they acquired new life In the aun , - llht and this morning the grounds will wear their brIghtest habilimenta. The raildIty with which the mud and water dried up after the un came out yesterday : , was remarkabic. The gravel had been i- ioaked until It could hold no more and the water stood in puddles all over the grounds. ? But in r. couple of hours these had disap- , I peared and the macadam was thoroughly dry I and serviceable. Although the prospect of more rain was not t'nttly absent early In the day there , , was a light but steady stream of arrivals i zIl through the forenoon. Later on , when , a fair afternoon was assured , the crowd increased and assumed quite creditable pro- portions. . Aside from the pleasure of Inspecting the : contents of the big buildings and of ex- : plortug the always Interesting precincts of ; the Midway. the three concerts were the only attractions of the day. The Thomas orchestra concert was given In the Auditorium - torium at 3 o'clock In the afternoon in order ? to allow the chorus to use the building for a rehearsal at night , and It was heard by an audience that was fairly proportionate to the crowd on the grounds , but vastly inadequate to the znerits of the program. 4ost of the selections of the afternoon were more or less familiar and among them were several in which the magnificent work of the orchestra was forcibly emphasized. This was especially true in the intermezzo front "C'avalleria RustItana , " In whirh the strings acre afrorded exceptional scope. To most musIc lovers this was the most enjoyable ( I sciection of the afternoon and it was i-c- . warded with a hearty encore. which was - recognized by a repetition of the composi- tion. tion.The The polonaise by Liszt was less popular. hut it brought out more effecuvely the full ensemble of the orchestra. The flute solo by Mr. A. Quensci was very artistically rca- dered and the well merited encore was i-c- warded only by an obeiiance. The other numbers were all favorites and consisted of the overture , 'The derry Wives of Windsor , " with serenades by Baydn and 1oszkowsky as supplementary numbers , the famous ballet music from 'Faust , " "Hun- garian Dances" by Brahms and Mendels- ohn's "Wedding March. " The Marine band played In the bnnd stand at the Grand Plaza at 10:30 : and S 0 clock. Both programs Included a number of compositions that have become familiar to those who have beard the concerts during - the past week and the masterly interpretations - tions were received with the same enthusiastic - astic appreciation that has been accorded this organization from Its first appearance. Ciiiniit 11(10 TlCZ'N on Snlt' _ The exposition management announces that it baa been decided to reopen thy sale of commutation tickets in order to accornmo- date the people who as.ert that they were unable to get into line during tbp previous ' sale.

The atmosphere was JaiL at the right temperature last night to msle an evening on the exposition ground. most enjoyable. and a very fair crowd membled to enjoy the music , the brilliant electric erects and the variegated attraeUons of the Midway. In the absence of the usual orchestra concert - cert in the Auditorium , a slight change was mane In the prearranged piogram , and the Marine band rendered a most delighUui concert from the band stshd during the evening. It was heard by one of the largest audiences that has been present since the opening day. The Immense space in the Grand Plaza was fairly filled , and the numerous encorci testified to the approval with which the music was regarded. The enthusiasm was especially noticeable whcu a iiatriotic melody was rendered , and the strains of 'Dixie" and "The Star Spangled Banner" elicited storms of applause that would not subside until the band bad i-c- sponded over and over again. Everything combined to make the concert one of the most eajoyable yet. given on the grounds and the manner In which the musicians supplemented the program in compliance with the demands f the audience indicated that they thoroughly appreciated the coin- mendation that their eorth elicited. Aside from the concert , the bulk of the crowd sought entertainment on the Midway. and business was more lively than usual along the amusement streets. it cas noUceable that quite a respectable number of feminine visitors who are more or less prominent in the society whirl were among those who entered the oriental theaters and witnessed the fascinating per. fommances of the houris who dance neither with their feet nor their heads. It was somewhat amusing to stand at the entrance to one of these concessions and oh- serve the mingled modesty and curiosity 01 anne of the fair pedestrians who wanted to see the real Midway and yet hesitated to enter. "Oh. I wouldn't think of such a thing , " said many a modest maiden. when her escort hinted that they might go In and see the performance , but she did think of It just the same. She always managed to keep near the entrance untjl quite a party of omen had gathered who were all in an exactiy similar fraie of mind and then one , more bold than the rest. would make a start. Then all the other modest maidens would suddenly discover that some very nice people were going in and it might not be so bad after all. and in they went like a flock of sheep following their leader. And no case has occurred up to date in which one of them left the enclosure until she had seen the hole bow and indulged in a 'mischievous resolution to induce all her girl friends to follow her example. Riding the camels is also becoming a very popular fad with the swell people and last night dozens of young people and some older oats whose faces grace most of the leading society functions could be noticed in a prodigious - digious oort to maintain a graceful position - tion on the back of a creature whose gait is a cross between the roll of a ship on a choppy sea and the promenade step o' a kangaroo. On of the humorous features cf this performance from the standpoint of the apectator occurs when some fair damsel displays - plays an unwonted degree of awkwardness in placing herself for a start. In this case the camel driver makes no bones of seizing a shapely limb and blandly p'acing It where it belongs. here is where the jealous cc- cert comes in and in one or two cases boa- tilities have barely been averted. .tiIot T Tii.t'I' IIIQULST POIt PASSIH.

The oflCiais ! about the Nebraska building take exceptions to the criticisms which appear - pear to have been made by the exposi. tlon management regarding the number of passes asked for by the commission for eta- ployes of the hoard and attaches of the various Nebraska e.blbits. These officials say that the total number of passes asked for by the commission was forty-six. whieb is the number of persons actually in the employ of the eommislon. The additional names about which so macit has been said , were those of people who were lisied In cc- cordance with the request of a promiaent oflicer of the exposition , who asked the corn- mission to snake a list of persons to whom it would be advisable to give lases's on account - count of their connection with the arrange- meat of some of the county exhibits being installed on the space purchased by the Nebraska commission. Among the latter were the representatives of some of the western counties who have been Installing agricultural exhibits in connection with the Nebraska educational exhibit ; others were county superintendents of schools , who have been assistinc State Sunerintendent Jackson tnlnstallingthe educational cahibit. Still others were the representatives of the see- eral secret societies ahlch have headquarters in the Nebraska building. Altogether , there were about sixty of these "suggestions. " With reftience to the representatives of secret ocletie , the Nebraska oIeIals any they have no interest whatever in the qucs- lion of issuing passes to them. but they express the opinion that it would he wise policy to Issue them , mainly on account of the fact that It is the purpose of these so- cicties to have "days" at the exposition , at hich time efforts will be made to bring large numbers of the members of the particular - ular order to the grounds. The olliclals say the fraterniiies propose w fit up headquar. ters at considerable expense. pay the sal. aries of one or two persons to maintain the headquarters and work up the details in connection with the day at the grounds. One of the most prominent orders in this i.Latc has discontinued its preparations since passes for the inep employed for this purpose - pose were refused , and the announcement is made that all arrangements for a big 'day" are off. The matter is still undecided , the corn- mitt'e to which the executive committee referred - ferred the matter not having made any report. hrcuI r CnnamifisSeaIeii , At the meeting of the executive committee yesterday afternoon arrangements were mad& for admitting the school children on the two days of next 'we-cIt which have been designated as "school day" for the pupils of the public schools.

' ( Copyright 1595 , by Press Publishing Co. ) LONDON , June L-New ( York World Ca- blegram-Specisi Telegram.-The Daily Mail's hong Kong dispatches say : In a let- tsr to V'iidman , the American consul at Hong Kong , Aguinaido , the leader of the Philippine rebels , says : "Before opening an attack on any town I summon the Spanish ocer in command to surrender. In one case the offlcer so summoned sent a reply stating the garrison - son was not then quite ready to fight and asked me if I would defer the attack for three hours. With this request I complied. The flrst engagement with the Spanish took idace on May 8 in the morning , when we captured nineteen Spanish soldiers with arms and ammunition. Towards evening we hemmed the Spannish In. One hundred and ninety Casadoes and several loyal natives took iiarL We lost four killed and the Spaniards sixteen killed , including one offl. cer. As a result of this engagement the fighting became general throughout the province of Cavite. After four days' fighting - ing we have taken over ,000 Spaniards prisoners , including many oflieers and Gen- oral Leopolclo Pens , governor of Cavite , who handed me his sword , revolver and golden belt and formal letter of surrender , " LONDON , June 8.-The Hong Kong con-c- spondent of the Times says : 'A proclamation iucd by Aguinaldo , the Insurgent chief , points to the desire to set up a native administration in the Philippines under an American protectorate. Aguinaldo , with a provisIonar' council , would hnld the dictatorship until the conquest of the islands and would then establish a republican as- sembly. Aguinahdo has issued orders that the lives and property of Europeans , Chinese and all Spanish non-combatants are to be protected , and that all excesses are to be avoided. " A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph from Manila. dated June 3 , says : "The Spaniards In the church at old Ca- vite are holding out , but the adjacent town of linus has been captured by the insur- gents. This is an important point at the back of Cavite proper , and its possession by the rebels is a serious matter for the Spaniards - iards , because it is the outlet to the surrounding - rounding country , and through it supplies are brought to th city of Manila. It will also aord an admirable base of operations for a further advance toward the city. "It has been found impossible to conceal from the Inhabitants of Manila the fact that the insurgent successes have east. a deep gloom upon foreign residents , who are more anxious than ever to get away. For the mart part the men remain , but the women and the children have been sent to Cavi'i- , where they are safe under the stars and stripes. "The most friendly relations exist between - tween Admiral Dewey and the consular representatives - resentatives of the poers. and the oem- manders of the European war ships In the hay. The Spanish soldiers who have been captured are a sorry looking lot. If they are a fair sample. they will be no match for the American troops. " QECLARE THEIR NEUTRALITY Tiarec : vev 1 nhonneciieut , . Coninijied iii the Lzi'.t tnte Deport- jitcut Circular. WASHINGTON , June 7.-Three nore declarations of neutrality nrc contained In the advance sheets of consular reports just issued by the State department. They were proclamations of Ceylon and the Straits Settlement , Hayti , and the Dutch West in- dies. One requirement of the first named proclamation that is a little out of the ordinary is that an belligerent ship can he permitted to receive any stores , necessaries or coal without. permission first obtained in writing from the harbor master. The Haytien circular is voluminous and lays down with the greatest of eaactness the course to be pursued by the government and people of that country during the war. It prohibits manifestations in public places or on the streets , the raising of any emblem that may be considered offensive to one of the parties to the war , and requires citizens as well as foreign residents to abstain from all acts that may invite reprisals. United States Consul Tourgee , at for- deaux , has furnished the State denartrneat an interesting construction of the neutrality laws laid down by the French government. The government of the Netherlands had been requested to clear the Norwegian steamer Fram for a Spanish port with a cargo of refined saltpeter , and the same has been cleared for Bayonne. Prance. This port was in Consul Tourgee's district. and be has reason to believe that the saltpeter will be cleared from that port for Spain , whereupon be lodged protests with the French ocials. MiTourgee transmits to the State depart- meat the reply of the French government , which is as follows : Neutral governments are formally prohibited - hibited from furnishing themselves directly munitinns of war to belligerents ; but the neutral state is not required to prevent the sending of arms and , rnunltions by its sub- jecta and for a much stronger reason by strangers. Under the conditions It is not Incumbent upon us to prevent the departure of the Fram , which will be allowed to eon- tinue her voyage at her own risk and peril. This construction of the duty of a neutral nation agrees very closely with that in the past given by the United States , so there is no possible ground for protest in this case.

SAN FRANCISCO , June 7.-The principal event in the local war situation today was the departure of the monitor Monterey and the collier Brutus for Manila. The order to get under way was issued about 1 o'clok and shortly afterwards the wharves and docks on the water front 'mere crowded with people anxious to witness the departure of the formidable lighting machine - chine and the collier uhich is to accompany it. Every steam whistle on the water front blew a farewell and as the two vessels mnoed'down the harbor toward the Golden Gate the crowds on the wharves set up a inighty cheer. The Jdonterev has always been a great local favorite , tUt the prospects are that it 'mill never again enter this harbor , as it is to be stationed permanently in the vicinity of Uncle Sam's colonies in the east. That the second expedlUon to the Philippines - pines will not leave here before next Saturday - day seems almost certain at this writing. Stores , supplies and ammunition are being placed on board , but the 'morl : will hardly be completed before the end of this week , though it is said the vessels s1ll get away on Friday. The troops which are to embark on the Colon , Zealandia and China are ready for service , the last equipment being delivered today. The fleet will not wait for the Ohio and Centennial , as these two craft will comprise the third expedition. Rear Admiral Kirkland has received instructions - structions from Washington to expedite work on the gunboat Yorkton. It is the vish of the Navy department to keep it in Pacific coast vaters. The cruiser Philadelphia will be commissioned - missioned July 1. and the Yorktown should be ready in about two months. The torpedo boat flowan will soon be tested in Portland - land , and the torpedo boat Davis has been launched in Portland. They will shortly be put into commission. and the belief is that these boats , with the Philadelphia and the Yorktown , will give ample protection to the coast.

Hayti , June 7.-i:05 ( : a. m.-Tho fighting before and in the vicinity of Santiago de Cuba continued the greater jiant of yesterday , from 7.4 a. in. , until nearly 11 o'clock. Ten of the American war ships maintained a ted3' and cane- fully directed fire against El Morro castle and the batteries at Punta Carda , Socapa and Cineorealea. in nddution to bombarding the Spanish fleet in the harbor. The I.er. centage of effective projectiles was ery large. It appears from the best information oh. tamable at this place , item the cable sta. lion connecting with Santiago de Cuba , that immense damage was Inflicted on the enemyThe Spaniards admit that the bombarfisdent from the American fleet was most destructive , About lG00 projectile , arc said to have been fired by the Amer. lean war ships , and it seems that the responsive tire from the Spanish forts and ships was scarcely felt at all by the Amer. icans , The fortifications near the entrance of the harbor are described as being rid. died with heavy shot nd shattered by the explosion of the immense shells fired by the American battleships , The Spanish batteries are understood to bare been 'em. tusily Ilced and El Morro and the fortifications - fications at Socapa and Puota Cards are reported to have been demolished by the three hours' uninterrupted hammering of the American fleet. The Amtlcan attack is nest saId to hats S - been especially directed against Aguadorca , a small coast town a little to the east of the entrance of Santiago bay. The idea of the American admiral , it appears , was to land tlOops and siege guns there , after re- doting th defenses of the place , and then mnake U close assault upon Santiago , which , in 'iew of the present conditions of its fortifications - fications , snay be expected to yield very soon after the beginning of such an attack. Three officers were killed. The Spaniards lo admit the loss of twenty-one infantry soldiers severely 'mounded sod say one soi- flier was kihied. but it is believed the losses of the Spaniards were much snore heavy. In the naval force the Spaniards say that the officer nho was second in command of the partly dismantled S1inish cuisvr Reins Mercedes and five sailors and an ensign were killed. The Spanish sailors wounded , it is assented , number sliteen men. The loss on the American aide , the San. tiago repasts cay , is not known. The Spaniards acknowledge that a great deal of damage was inflicted on the Spanish cruiser Remna Mercedes , and they say Morro castle shows great , gaping breaches In its walls. Later in the day it appear ; a lauding of American troops as effected near Daquira , seine distance east of .4guadores and near the railroad station connecting with Santiago - tiago de Cuba. Later an engagement took i'lac between the American force and at column of Spanish troops , which had been neat against tbe landing party , The cc- counts of the battle obtainable here , being from Spanish sources , do hot set forth the result , and therefore ii is to be inferred that 'he Ataerlrans were' victorious , and that ii liii belief nbich l'reva.iis ' here.
