In the exhibit from this state the ( 'Old storao fruit has been cast aside and the fine specimens direct from the orchards iavo found a place on the tables. The Ic !

The Government building is more satisfactory In architecture and perhaps more coherent in exhibit than the one at Chicago. The Art building Is a little gent , pierced as it is in the center with a columned court. It makes the study restful and the exhibit easily compasseti. There are no great PiC tiircs there ; tue collection Is not oxtcn sive , but it is an excellent collection with little that is crude and much that is satis- fying. We cannot speak of the exhlbitB , or the tinie was too short ; but the Horticultural building , some of the state buildings , notably - bly those of lilinois and Wisconsin , the op. paTently very respectable Midway anti the hong roaches of garden , the thrifty growth of 20,000 trees , the noble music arch and stnii.I and the great out-of-door concert , commanded large interest , flut all these were subsidiary to the charm , as of fairyland - land , that fell upon us as daylight recedel and line after line of electric lights hroughlt back the fascination , the rest , the spiritual ciovation which we never again expected to realize utter thio vanishing of those Ce- lumbian lights impressed upon millions of souls.

The descriptive fantasie , ' 'From Battlefield - field to 1'ircslde , " whIch constituted the second rart of thin program rendered by Phinney's band on the I'Iaza host night , was it decided success nail elicited the most Cflth1tISid5tlC approval that has been wit- IICSSCI at any of the exposition concerts. The novelty brought out a good crowd nail It cnught the people so thoroughly that It will be repeated at an early date , The composition is Intendcti to iliustrato thin calling together of the troops and their departure by roll for the front , Then the music represents the two armies encamped a short distance apart. The bands of the northern army play the inspiring strains of various patriotic selections and the south- era bands reply with "Dixie , " "Suwanee Itiver" and other songs of the southland , Then the battle occurs aiid this was graph- icaihy produced with the aid of Pyrotechnic accessories. The patriotic music Inspired the crowd to continual applause and this reached Its climax In the Ilnahe after the battle , As the reverberations of the cannon - non ( lied away the band played "The Vacant - cant Chair. " Then the soft melody was suddenly merged Into the "Star Spangled Banner. " A fctoon of huge flags was dropped from the arch of the band stand and from behind a shower of many colored mines and bombs made a pyrotechnic background - ground that emphasizeil the effect of the music , The ffcct on the crowd was dcc- trical. It was on its feet In an Instant In a fever of emotion. Men threw their hats iii the air and womea waved their handkerchiefs - kerchiefs , while all joined in a tumult of cheers that almost drowned the closing bars of the melody , Superintendent Kelly says that when the fantasia Is repeated the exposition chorus will assist in the rendition of the various natriotic melodies and the entire audience vihl be expected to unite in singing the "Star Spangled Ban- nor" that forms the finale. VltOSPlCTS ( IF IilIAN CONGRESS. Csptnin Mert'er G.'ttli , ' .iiings Ready mr 1110 SLed Men. The Indian congress bids faIr to be one of the loading ( eature of the exposition. Few of the Indians are hero , but they will begIn to arrive the last of next week and from then until about the middle of August new and strano Indians will be the order of the ilay. Captain Mercer feels very hopeful over the situation and predicts great things. II has an Idea that thls will be about the last opportunity that the white roan will have to see his red brother , especially the red brother who comes from the remote harts of the country. It is now certaIn that at least from 700 to 1.200 Indians will be in attendance upon the congress , representIng every tribe in tIm west , southwest anti northwest. Sonic of the advance guard have already arrived , but they are the Sioux. which are most common In the west. With the westerner they do not attract much attention , but they are considered rare bIrds by the men and women from the south and east. The work of making ready the grounds in and about the Indian village goes on with renewed energy. Sewers are being laid , fences are being erected and huts and cottages arc going up at a lively rate , Of course tIm Indians svilh not live In these habitationa , but they vlil be used for ofticen and by the cmployes. A high board fence is being erected about the space where tIle Indian games and the trials of skill will be ltllled off , To this enclosure a small admission fee will be charged , but to all of the other parts of the grounds no cbargo will be made. 1105.0) ' iiiiil liuti'r.

An ice machine hms been placed In the DaIry building and It has a wonderful effect in reducing the temperature. The butter auth the vroducts of the cow are shown In large wail cases and also In cases that stand In the center of the building , Through each of these cases vipes are run and the cold air is forced through , reIucing the teni ierature to nearly the freezing point , Some fine country butter has been vlacod on cx- hibition , but tim bulk vill not come in until about the last of the present month , The exhibit In the Apiary building prom- lees to be tim largest nni 'ost complete leen since the World's fair , 'rho honey flieR of the entire western country seem to have taiceim a deep Interest In showing their i'ares amid in competing to see which can make the most creditable display.

General Torni , the Spanish commander , sotit his sword to General Shafter , as cvi- dence of lila submission , and at 8:45 : a , am. all the general omccrs and their staffs as- senibled at Ceneral Shafter's headquarters. Each regiment was drawn up under the crest of the heights. General Simaftor and lila generals , with mounted escorts of 100 picked men of the Second cavalry , then rode over our trenches to tile OPCfl ground at the foot of the lull on the multi road to Santiago , mIdway to the then deserted Spanish works. There they were met by General Torah and his staff , all In fuihi uniform and mounted , anti a select detnchinent of Spanish troops. What foiiowed took place in full view ol our troops. Itettirnt.il 'Foriul Jli. Sword , The scene was picturesque end dramatic. General Shafter , with his generals and staffs grouped immediately in the rear and \m'itli time troops of cavalrymen with drawn sabres on the heft , advanced to meet the vanquished foe. After a few words of courteous greeting General Shatter's flrst act was to return General Torah's sword. The Spanish general - oral appeared to be touched by the complimentary - mentary words with which General Shatter accompanied thin action auth he thanked the American commander feelingly. Then followed a short conversation as to the places selected for the Spanish forces to deposit their arnrs and a Spanish Ia- fantry detachment marched forward to a position facing our cavalry , where the Spaniards were halted. The hatter were without their colors. Light Spanish trumpeters - eters thmea saluted and were saluted in return - turn by our trumpeters , each giving flourishes - ishes for lieutenant generals and major generals. Gene"al Toral then personally ordered the Spanish company , which in miniature represented - resented the forces tinder hIs command , to ground arms. Next , by hula direction , time company wheeled and marched across our line into the road and thence to tle place selected for diin8h' Ibemo , The Spattlltrds moved rapidly to the qiick notes of the Spanish march played by the trumpeters , but It impressed one like the "Dead March from Saul , " SlniminrdN Feel 'their DiMtrrnec. Although no attempt was made to humiliate - miliato them the Spanish soldiers seemed to feel their disgrace keoniy and scarcely glanced at their conquerors as they passed by. But this apparent feelIng was not displayed - played by the other regiments. Without being sullen the Spaniards appeared to be entirely Indifferent to the reverses suffered by the Spanish nrins and some of theni , when imot. under the eyes of their officers , sceited to rejoice at the prospect of good food and an immediate return to Spain. General Torai. throughout the ceremony , was sorely dejected. 'When General Shatter Introduced him by name to each member of his staff time Spanish general appeared to ho a. very broken man. Ho seems to be about 60 years of age and of frail consti- tutlon , bitt stern resolution Is shown in every feature. His face is deep drawn , as If in perpetual pain. General Torai replied with an air of abstraction to the words addressed to him and when he accompanied General Shatter , at the heath of the escort , into the city to take formal possession of Santiago , General Torah spoke but. tow words. The appealing faces of the starv- lug refugees streaming back into tim city did not affect him , nor did the groups of Spanish soldiers lining the road amid gazing curiously at the fair-skinned , stalwart- framed conquerors. Only once did the taint shmadow of a samiie lurk about the corners of his mouth , This was when tIme cavah- citde passed through a barbed wire entan- giement. No body of Infantry could have ever ot through this defense alive and General Shatters remnark about time resist- lug power awakened the first gratifying echo In the defeated general's heart , Aiprotiebes Thrice Ilarriended. Further along time desperate character of the Spanish resistant'n as planned amazed our officers Although primitive , Ii. was well done , Each approach to the city was thrice barricaded and wIred and the barricades - ricades wore bight enough and sufficiently strong to withstand shrapnel , The slaughter among our troops would have been frightful had it ever become necessary to storm the city. city.Around Around the hospitals and public buildings and along tIme west side of time line there were additional works and emplacomnents for una , though ito guns were mounted in thorn. The streets of Santiago are crooked , narrow lines of stores , most of which arc very dilapidated , but every veranda of every house was thronged by its curious Inhabitants and di.sarmed aol- diers , These were mostly of the lower class. Iow expressIons of any kind were heard along the line ; there were some shouts for free Cuba but as a rule there were only imiutterings. The better class of Spaniards remained indoors or satisfied their curiosity from behind drawn blinds , Several Spanish women in tunbledown carriages averted their faces as we passed , TIme squalor in the streets was frightful. Time bones of dead horses and other animals were bleaching in the streets and bugzards as tame as sparrows hopped aside to hot the Invadecs pass , The windomm'a of time hospitals - pitals , in which there were over l&OO sick mcmi , were crowded with InvalIds who dragged themselves there to witness our to- coming. Itm one square a merry-go-round told of hmappir days , but on every aide there were evidences of the pitiless siege and of atarra. tlon , l.tmnehi 5Icuuis Liammited , The palace was reached soon after 10 o'cloqc , Timers General Toral introduced Genorul Shatter and the other American generals to the imleade , Senor Foror , anti to the chief of polIce , Senor Guiltiihierez , as well as to the other untcipal authori- Uci. , unvlmeoa waa then served at time palace.

The fruit supply of the city was nbso lately exhmnmisteti and the Spaniards bath nothing to hive upon except rice , on which the soldicr in the trenches , nubsieted for the last twelve days , In addition , the water aupphy of the city had been cut oft for the host few days. Since the refugees heft Santiago - tiago Lni the surrender of the ctt' wan seen 'to be inevitable a retgn of terror has existed. The city business was stopped , the stores were closed anti the troaps were seem- ingiy allowed license to plunder at. viii , At noon , after the American flag bad been raised , General Shatter turned the city over to General MchCibbin , who , with the Ninth infantry , will enforce order in conjurmctfon with the civil authorities. The Spanish aol- tiers are encamped between time hines , on the reverse side of time huh , on which are our entrenchrncnts. Many of them believed as they had been told that the United States had purchased the island of Cuba , and that our government will pay them their arrears of pay and return tlmem to Spain. They to- pudiatc the idea that they have surrendered , DIXIE'S LIVELY SKIRMISHES Iiilinr Sinniards , ChnMinc Gunboats Out of Sight tutu Iestrnyiiig Block- ltlIIMCM on time Coast. KEY \VEST , July 19-The Maryland reserves - serves on the gunboat Dixie , under corn- mand of Commander Davis , are doing lively skirmish work on the south coast of Cuba , killing Spaniards , chiasimig gunboats , top- phing over blockhouses and capturing prizes. The Dixie left the main body of the fleet June 20 , and took a blockading station between Cape Cruz anti the Isle of I'ines. TIme first tblng it did wan to destroy - stroy a blockhouse at the nmotmth of San Juan river. This was done by a few shots and without any attempted resistance. Time same way it drew in to inflict pun- ishituemit on another blockhouse at the mouth of Guayana river. As it appeared a dozen or more Spaniards were seen to rutm into tim blockhouse , apparently with the intention of firing upon it. The Dixie pumped two or tlmree 6-inch ahmehin at theta anti struck them fairly , and the blockhouse was soon out of conmmnission , No Spaniards emerged. The Dixie then proceeded to Casihda. the seaport for Trinidad , where it encountered two Spanish gunboats. One was the El Fernando amid the Fernando el Catoilca , said to have been a new boat in time last war , hut now apparently carrying only One gun. It atteniptetr to teach the Dixie with this , but. came no nearer than a half nulie. Finally tIme Dixie put a shell straight at the solitary gun and sent it sky high. This was done at a range of IS00 yards , while the Fernando ci Catohica lay at its mooring , necessitating firing across the Casilda harbor and a point of haul. In addition to dismounting the gun , time upper works of the Spaniards were badly damaged. The other gunboat was not identified , It , too , fired at the Dixie , but fell short by 400 yards. A few six-inch shells , though timey did not reach it , served as a sufficient warning to silence it.

Time idea of a idmihitu- thmroplc motive is incredible to thmeni , They have forgotteim their boast of four mouths ago : " \Vo will teaclm the Yankee hogs a lesson and wipe thieimm off the earth.

" San Sebastian , usually full of gay Spanish life , gathered around time court of time little king at tlmis season of the year , is quite empty. Time shopkeepers are discouraged , anti exehango is so high that buyers cOme over from the froimtier Fremmchm towns and carry away so nmuch from the markets that there Is actually not enough for the poor Spaniards. Some of the better class of peo- pIe realize that the onti of thmo hiresent reginmo is close at han , ! and look despond- cathy into the future , expecting to be ruled by the Carhists or republicans or devils. But most of the people cherish tlmeir indomItable - domItable faith in the valor and prowess of tile Spanish army. The day after Schicy's victory at Santiago the newspapers here , unaware of any battle. gleefully ttnnounced that Atinmiral Cervera had escaped with his entire fleet from "The bob where time Amnericams had cleverly supPosed - Posed they had bottled it up.

" Alas ! The castles in Spain that the Span- lards build nrrnumd themselves are doomed to a tremendous fall. On the fourth of July ( ito following editorial appeared in the San Sebastian papers : "Is the situation In time Philippines hopeless - less ?
