, - 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 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

. warded with a hearty encore. which was
- recognized by a repetition of the composi-
tion.

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.

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.

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-

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.

MONTEREY GETS UNDER WAY
Forniitinhlc liouitorAcvuus in's Is-il Isy

for Manila.
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.
The subscriptions to the local Red Cross
fund will soon reach the $40,000 mark. At
noon today there was a total of 133.649 in
the fund.
NAVAL CADETS TO SEE WAR

for School I iii .
WASHINGTON , June 7-The Navy de-
partinent lies decided to give the naval
cadets at Annapolis an opportunity to see
real warfare by taking assignments on the
war ships in lieu of the customary summer
vacatioa , As a result about half of the
second class men , and quite a number of the
third class men , have been assigned to duty
on the Indiana , iowa and other ships in
Cuban waters.
The assignments are purely elective and
the cadets are abowing much eagerness for
the service.
The cadets will be made useful mainly as
signal officers.

LONDON. June 7.-New ( York \'odd

detailed account of the massacre of Amen-
can missionaries at Rotifunk has been received -
ceived today frozn a merchant at Siei'ra
Leone by mail. hideous cruelties re perpetrated -
petrated upon them. He says :
" \Ve have had no sleep the past four or
five nights , expecting the Mendis to rush
on us from the hillside. Vt'ben they made
their attack on Itotifunk they captured four
American mission women who got about a
mile and a half from the mission in flight
( or Songo town , They strapped these 'momen
of all their clothing. marched them back
in the burning sun to a house they bad
just escaped from , and after cruelly outrag-
lag them they put thorn to death and mangled -
gled their bedies in such a manner as cannot -
not be described , Another woman who was
down with fever at the time the fiends tied
up in barbed fencing wire , thus piercing
her to death. The men they captured they
mutilated by first cutting off their hands ,
then their arms at the elbows , and afterwards -
wards at the shoulders , their legs being
lopped off hsiaccmeal in similar fashion , after
which the trunk of the bodies were placed
on poles. These poles they set up in the
fields , portions of the body being scattered
along the roadway. The Mendis sent into
Sberbro several baskets of chopped up bu-
man remains ! both white and blacks. The
: our American mission csnen done to
death in this revolting fashion were Mrs.
Cain , Misses Archer5 Uatfleld and Sthenk.

CAPE I1ATTIEN. 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.
