" After this the audience repaIred to the parlors of the building , where Governor Ciough and his party held a vublic reception , The reception held in the parlors of the MInnesota buildIng was a decided success , and was attended by fully 2,000 people. Governor - ernor dough occupied the post of honor and received the guests , who ntter being in. troduceti to the members of hIs staff , passed into the rnen's room and partook of the refreshments , whIch con isted of punch , sandwiches and cigars. During the afternoon the Omaha women met the wives of the Minnesota commissiofl and the governor's party , end entertaIned them in the parlors in the Mines bulldini. The entertainment was decidedly Informal , but was enjoyable from every standpoint. Most of the Minnesota people will remain until tonight , while a number will stay over until Saturday before returning borne. They are all vell pleased with the exposition , and say that later in the season , if the proper railroad rates nrc secured , thousands of people from Minnesota will visit the cx- position. The newspaper fraternity was well represented - resented at the exercises attending the dedication - cation of the Minnesota building. Assistant City EdItor MeMurchy of the St. Paul Globe , J. E.

It occupIes a locatIon on tle luit tract , 5isC fo ti soqth : of the Me- braslca building and facing the park lying north of the pool. Unlike the other state buildIngs , the one erected by Minnesota is typical of life in the pine forests of the north , having been constructed entIrely of pine logs shipped hero from the woods to the north of St. Paul and Minneapolis. The legislature of Minnesota made no ap- propriatlon for the erection at a state build- lag at the Trausmieslssippi and International - tional Exposition , but the enterprising citizens - zens of the state , seeing the necessIty of being represented , called the matter to the attention of the governor , who appointed .

It was at once decided to erect a building and the work of Securing subscriptions was taken up. It was found that the sum of $30,000 would be required and notes signed by the members of the commission antI the prominent men of the state were giveo , with the Implied understanding that the next. legislature would reimburse the makers of the notes. These notes were taken by the banks end the question of finance was thus disposed of. . 110w to build and what to use in con- atruction agitated the minds of the corn- missioners for a long time , but 3. Newton NUuI , a newspaper man of Minneapolis , who for a long time was city editor of the Pioneer Press of St. Paul , came to tholr ro hat and suggested thtt a log house , typtcai of life in the pifleies , be constructed , This caught the momljera of the commission and his ideas were adopted , A canvass among the lumber dealers was made and willingly they donated the logs , Tlii removed the greatest obataclo , and McLeod & Lamernux , architects of Minneapolis , were employed to PrePare plans. Soon thereafter their lilans were presented and approved anti the contract - tract for construction was given to D. Cooper of Minneapolis. Tilue having disposed - posed of the construction question , another canvass was instituted anti as a result manufacturers and dealers in Minnesota donated the stone , the furnIture and all of the furnishing. Success being assured , the material was sent and the contractor tel- lowed , accompanied by his workmen. Work was somewhat slow In being started , but it ivas pushed with au possible speed by skilled mechanics and as a result Minna- seta has a home of its oti where its peo- pIe can entertain its people and see that the ) are , troieriy cared for while attending the exposition , Thu Minnesota building proper Is seventy feet long anti sixty foot wide , two stories high , Running around the building there are two balconies , one at each story , They arc twenty feet wide , with railings three feet high.

A Cuban who a1rived from Siboney yesterday told of it at the Junta at Kingston. The manner and details of the death are a mystery. The utmost secrecy - crecy is maintained by the Cubans about the whole affair , The Spaniards here say the story Is true and are rejoicing over it. NEW YORK , July 20.-A Kingston , Jam. , cablegram to the Evening Post says that Cubans arriving from Siboney report General - oral Garcia dead , The Cubans make a mystery of It , saying that it should not be known yet for rca- Sons of state , and give no particulars except that ho woe shot , Spanish refugees hero who are omemnlly connected with enernl illanco believe the story. The last word directly received by the Cuban junta in this city from Gicia : was dated before Santiago , July ii. It was a cable message , and stated briefly that be was well , and that the progress of events was satisfactory. At that time Garcia waste to the west of Santiago , guarding the approaches - preaches front expected reinforcements to the city. Horatio S. Ruben : , consul to the junta , when given the information contained In the dipatcb , said this afternoon that news of Garcia's death bad not been received at the junta ; but that at best communication with the Cuban forces in the field ir- regular. "I am greatly surprised , " ho said , "but I do not find it hard to credit the dispatch. During the assault on Santiago Garcia was in the west with his command , iiith the special duty of intercepting reinforc mciits. and cutting oil the retreat of the lipanish soldiers. " \Vheu the city fell his duty there was at an end. But , it appears , the attack on Mnnzanilio was then Planned. Manzanillo lies to the ivest , and it. Is , therefore , probable - able that General Shatter detailed Oar- cia's command to cut oft reinforcements there. "Holguin lies near Manzanillo , and wan garrisoned by a considerable force , as the American general must have known , It Is not unlikely that Garcia and his men came into conflict with a body of Spanish soldiery bound from 1-lolguin for Manzanillo. " Calixto GarcIa was in his sixtieth year nod was regarded by the Cuban Insurgents as ono of their most Intrepid soldiers. In the ten years' war his skill , bravery and energy won him continued promotion until lie received a general's star. In an action in 1874 when Garcia was surrounded by Spanish troops rather than surrender he shot himself through the chin with suicidal intent. lb recovered and woo sent o Sitain. He was released in l877 when the peace of Zcnjoa was declared. Garcia at once set out for New York and organized an expedition for Cuba. lie landed in Santiago do Cuba , but was taken prisoner a second time. He eluded the vigilance of the prison guards in SpaIn one night after a fifteen years' imprisonment and fled to England. Garcia was the promoter of the Hawkins expedition in 1896 with 300 men and a large quantity of supplies and ammunition. The vessel sunk. lIe next JIlted out the l3er- muda , which was seized upon the eve of her departure in February , 1896 , by a United States marshal. Garcia was released in c5OO bail. He at once made another start and landed in Cuba several days before the clay set for his trial In this city , For the last fifteen years he has been engaged in conducting the campaign against the Span- lards In Santiago do Cuba province.

Grady , chief signal othicer , cabled instructions to the ofilcers in Santiago - tiago to seal up and place a guard over the three cable lines connecting Santiago with Cionfuegos. whence , by a land line , commu- nicatioa is established with havana. Today - day General Grcoly was informed that his orders had been carried into effect. The closing of the Clenfuegos cables absolutely inolates Havana and General Ulanco from Madrid , Blanco's only means of communi. eating with the Madrid government now is by the Key \Veat cable , which is under the strict censorship of the government of the United States. An a result of the sealing of the Santiago- Cienfclegos cables several cipher dispatches passing between General fllanco and the Spanish government drifted into thIs country - try today. It is scarcely necessary to say that they did not reach their destination , The final cutting off of communication between - tween fllaneo and his home government is a source of great gratification for the goy- oranient anti is another laurel for General Greely's active vigilance.

Thu conditions are slightly different now , Just what ought to ho nod can be clone to give Pennsylvania a vote whtio in the field is the perplexing question. The state republican committee has been the first political body to take th matter tip. /tt its meeting held TUesday a committee was appointed to draw up a tesolution to authorize the appointment of a sub.combltteo to insure the exercise of this right to Pennsylvania soldiers who areS -S - - now in arms for their country wbercsoccr they may be without regard to zone or VIIero. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ G OUT AMMUNITION ' otLe Expeditionnrr Forces at I ) Thoinni.

General l3rooko declined to be interviuwed , pro- ( erring that noticing omolal shall be said until orders are issued. Colonel Lee , chief quartermaster , was ia consultation with a number of railroad men this afternoon , hurrying M rapidly as possthlO the arrange- moats of transportation , It Is the desire of General I3rooke that the entire First corps form the expeditionary force going from hero. This would mean a departure from Chickaninuga of about 30,000 yolun- teens. The inference is that the War depart- bent is considering whether or not It will ho necessary to draw so heavily upon the forces at Camp Thomas , i being i 'ucstion as to whether so many men ould he needed in addition to the tegiments now under orders to go from other polnti. There is still some question as to whether the corps will go as organized. There are some fine regiments In the Third corps that are thoroughly drilled and equipped , and it is not improbable that some of these will ho included in the force , being sub- atituted for regiments that all along hao been identified with the First corps. Colonel Iiartsuft , chief surgeon , said today that the medical department of the corps had all the supplies of every nature necessary for the expedition about to be entered upon. Colonel Rockwell handed out for dietribu- tion in the first and second dvisionn of the First corps this afternoon S00,000 rounds of ball cartridges. The artillery brigade received a large quantity of equipaze. A large quantity of ordnance stores was forwarded - warded from Camp Thomas yesterday for tue Third Wisconsin at Charleston. Soy- erni hundred thousand rounds of ammuoi- tion arrived tonight and will be , distributed at OflC. Major hiemphili reported today from Camp Alger and was assigned an quartermaster - master of the First dIvision , First corps. Mrs. Edwin C.

MADRID , July 20.-The newspnflera hero say that a coalition is being organized be- twecn the different parties and againk t.o government on account of the suspension of the constitution. The jcaco movement is hosing ground , and , a newspaper ventures the supposition that a British squadron woUld.prei'eu Ue Amer- lean iqundron from paaa1ni the straits , u6 ti'e suggestion is regarded as Improbable , LONDON , July 20.-Neither the ofilciala of the Spanish embassy , those of the British foreign office , nor the United States ambassador - sador , Colonel John hay , have any news tending to confirm the report ciricilated in the United States that the Spaniab cabinet has decided to sue forpeace. On the other hand , dispatches received here from 1afirld late this afternoon make no mention of such a determinatIon upon the part of the Spanish - ish ministry. The decline in Spanish 4s in Paris anti London is another reason for di3credlting the report. A special dispatch from Madrid says : "The powers , including Great Britain , are exchanging notes concerning their attitulo in case Commodore Watson comes , anti the progress made thus far is satisfactory to Spain. " A dispatch from Washington. received at the United States ambassy herebut not from an American source , says the British arnbas- eador , Sir Julian Pauncefoto. is active in the negotiations. It is also admitted that soy- eral of the powers are urging Spain to asic for peace , the main reason being fear that Commodore Watson's appearance will lead to complications. PARIS , July 20.-The Temps this afternoon - noon says : "Dispatches we have received late this afternoon lead us to believe semiofficial - official communications have been exchanged between Spain and the United States , withi the view of sounding the United States on the terms of pence. " The Temps' Madrid correspondent , who is also the correspondent of the London Stand- aril , is unusually well informed. It will bo noticed that ho saul "semi-official and not "otlicial , " which would leave the situation as it has been for several days , for it is generally admitted hero that certain pow- era are alrcqdy sounding the United States in behalf of Spain.

NASHVILLE , July 2Q-lion. l3enton Mc- Miliin presented Colonel flrn to the large and enthusiastic audience of men anti women who greeted him with cheers , Colonel hiryan said ; "Ve do not know what may be the result of this war. War often brings results which are not imagined in the beginning , but one result bus already been achieved during this war. If there was anybody in the United States who doubted the loyalty of the pee- plo of the south , there would hereafter be no one to doubt the loyalty of the people of the south , " TiiiiikM ' , % 'zitNiin's lI5sIoii Is ii il.tiilce UEIILIN , July 21-The Kreuz.Zeitung ( conservative ) , says : The authorities at W'ashingtou are overrating their strength , It would ho a profound political mistake to send Commodore Watson to the Spaniab coast.

A Polavieja cabinet is again talked of. The republicans fancy they have some chance , 'while the so- ciallsts and the federals , led by Senor Play Margall , are for veaco at any price first and revolution afterward , The Carlists are delighted - lighted to see nh the other parties wrangling and the regency floundering in the midst of 80 many eniharrnssnieiits , Tue military censor will nst even allow the Madrid press to print or telegraph abroad the severe criticisms against the Spanish an- thoritles at Santiago for surrendering under conditions disapproved by the vohtttciana and army oflicers lucre. The government Is so afraid of the people it 1cM not lermittcd the publication of telegrams - grams from tjuoral hilanco censuriug deft- oral Torni tar having disobeyed his orders , which were to resist as long as his ammu- nhtton , not provisions , lasted. Premier Sa- gasta thought he would avoid many diflicul- ties at home by letting the Spanish People find out about the fall of Santiago as they learned about the disaster at Manila , through foreign news-while the official departments at Madrid attected to know nothing. So when the official confirmation of the news came it was received with indifference vergIng - Ing on contempt. Most Spaniards now believe they are drifting toward the loss of nil the cohonios , and a condition made perhaps worse by domestic - mestic troubles , which their present rulers are as incapable of avoiding as they were of foreseeing them. The stolid silence and indifterenco of the public add to ( lie perplexity - plexity of Sagasta and his ministers. They only meet to squabble over peace or war , Gamazo and the duke of Ahunodovar lending those who argue for uence and War Minister - ter Correa being the chief advocate for war. Admiral Camara's squadron hmns reached the l3alearic islands on the way to Carta- germa. LONDON , July 21.-I a. m.-New ( York World Cablegram-Special Telegram.-A ) Madrid dispatch to the Mail reports that General Torah probably will be c9urt- Inanlinled on his return to Spain , but it is doubtful if he will ho punished. Thu two telegrams sent to his government before the surrender of Santiago never reached Madrid. Possibly they explained the causes which compelled him to capitulate. The conditions of his surrender are contrary to the Spanish Inilitary code and have made IL painful impression on the army In the peninsula. The ministers refuse to believe that the troops outside of Sauttau arc In- eluded in thie terms of capitulatIon , and think sonic of them may refuse to lay down their arms , thereby causing fresh comnpllca- tions.

It could not materially harm Spain and would only be likely to reunhto lice Spaniards into an impervious obstinacy of endurance and a determination to suffer to all lengths.
