that found in the great prototype. 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

little that is crude and much that is satis-

The descriptive fantasie , ' 'From Battlefield -

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.

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.

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 ,

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.

Around the hospitals and public buildings
and along tIme west side of time line there
were additional works and emplacomnents

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

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.

feeling seenms to exist in the United States
that any Macrican catigimt. . alive ium Spain
would be torn limb from limb. it is not
so. The chivalry of time Spanish , which has
been tlmeir boast for generations , is as alive
now as ever it was , One other Aimmericaim
girl and I hare becim tratohing through
nortlmorn Snain tlmis veok unite vithiotit pro-
ttltm nimd have receiveti not thin slightest
discourtesy or inconvenience ; nor was it nec-
cssary for us to conceal our nationality ,
Everyone knew we were Americans anti was
quito willing to talk about the var , In
tact , the Spaniards introduced time subject
in every instance. All Spamuiards believe
the United States is in time war ( or what
it can make out of 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. '
Now they ask pitifully : "Why does your
rich , iowerful nation buli3' us ? "
Time woimmen look apprehietmelvely otmt across
the snpphiro bay and ask : " \Vhy will the
American fleet hombaril San Sebastiamm ? "
\\o assure theum that we do not believe It
will , but they are still restless anti say :
" \Vo are only women imere. They will gain
nothing but the boarding lmouse keepers'
signs. "
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. " The considerate -
siderato SpanIards courteously grasped our
hands and expressed sympathy for our do-
feat. Not for three days was credence given
to time report of time utter rout and destruction -
tion of the Spanish fleet , The people could
talk of nothing but imow skillfully their
valiant admiral had outwitted the "Yankee
Sampson. "
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 ? No , because Camara's squadron vihi
arrive there. l'orhaps we may lose Manila
or at the most the Island of Luzon , but the
whole colony-no , From the Philippines
came the flrst bath news. From tIme Philippines -
pines also will coma The first good hews.
Wo say thmo first , because lxm Cuba we will
always be omm time defensive ; In time Mainyan
arcimipelago we must now ho the omies to
