Arrangements for the great Peace Jubllco
celebration arc rapidly approaching comple
tion and every day additional acceptances
arc received of distinguished officials and
citizens who will participate In the cere
monies. In addition to the members of the
cabinet who have previously announced their
Intention to bo present Secretary Long has
Consented to accompany the president and
ho will be ono of the speakers of the occa
sion. A very satisfactory representation of
the naval and military heroes of the war Is
already assured and others will probably
decide to como during the next two weeks.
General William H. Shatter will also
bo here during the week. Dr.
Miller wired President Wattles yester
day that Colonel Roosevelt had assured him
that ho would como to the Jubllco If ho
is not nominated for governor of New York.
If he should receive the nomination , ns
Beenis altogether likely , ho cannot promise
further than to say that ho will be here
If possible. Secretary Algcr of the War de
partment writes that ho would like very
much to bo present , but ho cannot determlno
so far In advance whether his duties will
permit It.
The Idea of organizing a grand spectacular
display to bo given on the evenings of
Jubilee week has been practically dropped.
The management Is Inclined to the opinion
that such an attraction would bo to some
extent superfluous In view of the magnifi
cent Illuminations that In themselves fur
nish a spectacle that no art could surpass.
To visitors who come to the exposition for a
few days or a week these are ample to make
the evenings enjoyable and with especially
cloborato displays of fireworks every evening
it Is believed that no additional spectacular
effects will bo desirable.
This week's crowd has not arrived In Its
entirety , but It Is coming fast. Yesterday's
Attendance was exceptionally good for Mon
day , although there was nn feature to make
the day notabla except those which Nature
lavished In kindly profusion. Experience
has Indicated that the people who como to
the exposition on Monday arc particularly
Interested In the permanent attractions of
the grounds and consequently It has been
determined that Monday celebrations are
entirely unnecessary and undesirable. The
substantial Increase In the Sunday attend
ance encourages the expectation of another
prosperous week and this Is supported by
the largo number of now faces that were
In sight yesterday. The attendance yester
day morning largely represented the van
guard of the excursionists who will come
in larger numbers tomorrow and Wednes
day. The street cars wore loaded with people
ple who carried grips and handbags and had
evidently como to spend the week In Omaha.
Today Is set aside for the millers and
manufacturers of Nebraska. As they have
a convention down town this week they will
not attempt to hold exercises on the grounds
but will devote their tlmo to seeing the
show that has drawn the attention of the
world to their state. The first ascension
of the war balloon will also occur this after
noon nt i o'clock.

John C. Wharton has returned from New
York and other eastern points where ho went
with Dr. George L. Miller , and Hon. J.
Sterling Morton to represent the exposition
In extending Invitations to various notables
to attend.tho Peace Jubilee. In speaking of
his trip Mr. Wharton says < that In most re
spects the commltteo Is entirely satisfied
with Its success. They are especially hope
ful of a big crowd for Now York day. When
arrived In Now York they were assured that
If the railroads would glvo a half rate to
Chicago there would be no'trouble In getting
up a big crowd from that city. They have
been assured that n rate of $18 for the round
* * - ' trip will bo made and ns this Is less than
half faro It Is expected that several thousand
people will como from New York City alone.
President Callaway and General Passenger
Agent George H. Daniels of tbo Now York
Central railroad will be among the visitors
nnd Chaneey M. Depew has renewed his
promise to bo present and deliver the oration
of the day. The committee Also called on
Mayor Von Wyck of New York and ho agreed
to designate someone to represent the muni
I cipality at the celebration of New York day.
Governor Black has also promised to be
present and a largo number of other notables
from eastern Now York. The mayor of
Ruffalso , Editor Butler of the News and
various other prominent citizens of Buffalo
will join the excursion. General James H.

The advance guard of the crowd that will

Marks and It , T. Parry , three prominent bus
Incss men of the Windy City , came In for
the purpose of arranging tor the accommo
datlons of the great crowd that will arrive
later In the week. They spent the day on
the cxpoatlon grounds , admiring the build *
Ings , the Grand Court and the Interesting
features.
Speaking of Chicago day Mr. Bishop said :
"U would not surprise mo In the least to
Bee from 10,000 to 15,000 people here from
Chicago. Our people are enthusiastic and
propose to do all in their power to make
the occasion a grand sucrogs. A number of
our uniformed marching clubs will come on
special trains , bringing along tbelr bands
that they may make a good appearance In

them are coming and In addition to them

ROBBERS NOT IN CUSTODY
Men Captured In St. Joseph Wnnlcd
for Snfeerneklnir In nn
lotia To IT n.
KANSAS CITY , Sept. 26. The hopes of
the local police received a dash of cold water
today when word from St. Jo cph , uncon-
flrcmed but apparently authentic , waa re
ceived that the three men , James Morgan ,
John Ryan and James McAlccr , arrested In
that city last night , were not the desired
Missouri Pacific train robbers but a band
of safe crackers from Iowa who had just
made a successful raid In that state. * The
mcn , when arrested , had In their posses
sion several hundred dollars worth of pow-
-burncd money , which the police quickly
comlnc from the Pacific Ex-
safe , blown to pieces with
wson on Friday night
. nt that tbo mcn
r".w.j arc
Iowa saTd'V.yB Bwas made by a local de
tective who wcin7 to St. Joe last night and
saw the suspects this morctng. Chief of
1'ollce Hayes still hopes that the men are
part of the gang of train robbers and they
will not bo allowed to leave the state until
the officials are thoroughly satisfied on thla
point ,
ST. JOSEPH. Mo. , Sept. 26. James Mc-
Aleer , James Morgan and John Ryan , the
three men arrested hero last night , suspected
of being Implicated In the robbery of the
Mlsourl Pacific express train near Kansas
City lafit Friday night , are probably not the
men wanted for that crime. Chief ot Police
Hayes of Kansas City , Chief Special Agent
Kay of the Missouri Pacific , St. Louis , and n
party of detectives came to St. Joseph this
morning to exam I no the prisoners. They do
net bcllevo them train robbers and the
prisoners will not bo taken to Kansas City.
It Is almost certain the mcn are the robbers
of the Hastings , la. , bank , looted of $2,000
last Wednesday night.
Notwithstanding the strong alibi John
Kennedy establishes for his where
abouts when the Missouri Pacific express
car was blown up the police refuse to be
lieve that he had nothing to do with the
crime. The officers say they do not believe
that Kennedy was one of the flvo men who
actually did the work , but they believe he
know all. about It , They believe ho came to
Kansas City Friday night , met some of the
real robbers , got his share of the booty and
divided with the other outRldc helpers.
If the robbers are not caught It will not
be the fault of the railroad nnd express
companies. They Intend to go after the
thieves In earnest. Jackson county Is to be
combed and swept for the train robbers.
Governor Stephens has offered $300 for the
arrest and conviction of the robbers.

CHICAGO , Sept. 26. Major General F. V.
Greene of the- American army ot Invasion ot
the Philippines and Scnor Fellp Angonclllo ,
vlco president of Agulnaldo's revolutionary
government , arrived in Chicago today , en
route to Washington. General Greene's er
rand Is to give the executive his views
and the views of his fellow officers concernIng -
Ing the right course for this government
to pursue In regard to the future of the
Islands. The Filipino goes to appeal to
the president for representation on the
Paris peace commission and for Immediate
independence tor his people.
During the duy Scnor Angonclllo , at his
own request , was driven to Lincoln park
to see the big bronze statue of Abraham
Lincoln , who , the Filipino statesman said ,
was his Ideal American statesman and citi
zen. About ten or fifteen minutes was spent
at the statue , Senor Angonclllo baring his
head to "one of the greatest of the world's
rulers , " as ho put It
"In all my historical studies 1 have paid
the most attention to the growth of the
power and Influence of this Unll'ed States
government , " said Senor Angonclllo. "It
Is my Ideal of a government and It Is this
pattern which the Philippine people will
follow when they are Independent. I have
visited the courts of China and Japan , but )
there Is nothing In cither of those empires
that compares to the freedom ot this coun
try. This Is the land that we have looked
up to for many years and the ono In whose
footsteps wo have tried to follow. "
Angonclllo discredited the report that
France had promised to recognize t'ho Phil
ippine republic and Intimated that his sole
hopes of Independence were with President
McKlnloy and the government of the United
Slates.

WASHINGTON , Sept. 16. Telegrams have
been received nt the Cuban legation from

These telegrams depict the situation In the
province of Santa. Clara as most critical.

The vegetables are almost gone and the last
mules and horses have been killed to feed
the sick. The children and old people nrc
said to be dying by dozens every day. The
general appeals for alJ ( and Bays his mcn

they can to make the'Insurgents' situation
more terrible. It Is .Ycared that serious
results may arise from Xhl and the Cubans
cannot bo blamed If they nro forced to take
the necessaries ot life. This they can do
by capturing n town , but the Cubans have
pladged themselves notjito violate the armls-
tlce , and they , therefore , appeal to the
United States in order to avoid a conflict.

NO NEED HURRY MEN TO CUBA
Action of Spuiilnriln Mnken It I'niicc-
eniinry to I'rean Troop * Fnrvtiiril
In Unhealthy Scamiu.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 26. Commander
Eaton of the Resolute has been given addi
tional duty In connection with the American
military commission at Havana. The exact
need for'this Is not known at the Navy
department , the order having been made nt
the request of the commission , but It Is
supposed that Admiral Sampson wishes the
officer to make an examination of the Span
ish naval properties scattered among the
various Cuban ports outside of Havana.
The naval authorities are deeply concerned
as to the disposition of this property to be
made by the commission and owing to Its
peculiar status , being not captured yet , but
subject to the disposal ot the commission ,
It Is not easy for the members to foresee the
outcome of the commission's deliberation on
this point. '
Nothing has been heard from the com
mission Itself since the cablegram of yester
day relative to the Comal. The authorities
hero feel that by consenting to the entry
of the vessel with relict supplies the Span
ish officials In ; i large measure ridded the
question ot evacuation ot the urgency at
tached to It. So long as tbo Cubans starv
ing and naked were denied the relief that
might como to them from the United States
government and the Red Cross this wag
a powerful reason for Insisting on the Imme
diate evacuation by the Spanish government
officials , In order that we might euccor the
distressed Cubans.
Now , however , that our government Is
free to do this under existing conditions ,
there Is not the same necessity for haste
and tbo War department will not be obliged
to force American troops In numbers Into
Cuba in the very worst part of the season ,
so far as health conditions are concerned.
Tha dally reports that come to the depart
ment from Santiago make It apparent that
even the Immune regiments , made up as
some of them are ot negroes , supposed to be
almost exempt from attacks of climatic
fever , much sickness prevails and It la only
a fair assumption that the ordinary troops
would suffer moro were they now sent Into
Cuba , Therefore , while the American and
Spanish commissioners at Havana arc still
seekingto reach an agreement as to the
time to be allowed for evacuation ot the
Island , It may be said that the president
expects that the result will be a compromise
between the details mentioned on each side
and that the movement will begin toward
the latter part of October and be concluded
soon after New Year's.
This will accord very well with the plans
at the War department , as It will enable it
to avoid tending to Cuba any considerable
number ot soldiers until the healthy season
is well under way. U is the present pur
pose to make the replacement of Spanish
forces in detail , not sending over any large
expedition , but establishing a garrison at
one point after another , beginning probably
at the western end ot the Island. The au
thorities have concluded , in view of the
nplrlt shown by the Cubans as reported to
it , that It Kill not be necessary to have

131 B street northeast , and there Is. coli-
Htcrnatlon in the haunts of'those who have

rho president , It Is understood , has dccldtil
the question ns to the mustering out of the
Third Nebraska , which brought bol'h Ilol-
omb and Bryan to Waehlnglon.
According to these best Informed Presi
dent McKlnley has recognized the fact thnt
Nebraska has now in the field morp troops
than It ) Is entitled to under the consu.i ot
18)0 ! ) , but does not feel that the. selection
rests with the chief executive a < t to which
of the troops shall bo raustvrcd out. At
best the muitcr out o * a battalion and a
half Is all that Is needed to bring Nebraska's
quota down to Its rightful force In tha
field under the rules of the War department
scaling down the volunteer forces of each
state to meet changed conditions brought !
about through peace.
To nominate two battalions for a must * *
out the president ) refuses to be a party to ,
but decides that for the sake of harmony
a Nebraska regiment shall bp accepted for
dlschnige , the regiment for muster out to
be designated by the governor. Whether
this shall bo the First Nebraska , whlt.h has
seen service In Manila , which has berne the
brunt of the battle and which has conducted
Itself In the most exceptional mnnuer , or
the Third Nebraska , , which Is In camp nt
Camp Cuba Libre , Is the question now JR- !
tatliiR the minds of those connected with ,
the War department.
U would look lko | a case of fish or cut bait

Auditor Andrews today examined and
started an account In favor of the statn ot
Nebraska for the refund of direct taxes
against the territory of Nebraska under nn
act of congress of 1861 for $10.312. It ap
pears that this amount was never covered
Into the treasury by the territory , but In
18C2 or 1863 an act was passed appropriating
$20,000 for legislative expenses of the terri
tory for the year 1863 , and provided further
that the amount of direct taxes due fiom the
territory should be charged against this ap
propriation on condition that the territory
should pay Its own legislative expenses for
that year.
A warrant for $2,000 was Issued to th
secretary of the territory In part payment
of the legislative expenses , but the war
rant was covered back Into the treasury
by the secretary of the territory. la 1882
an act was passed directing the accounting1
officers of the Treasury department to start
an account between the government and ,
the state of Nebraska relative to direct
taxes levied against the territory. Accord
ingly the amount of $4,281.00 , then duo the
state as commission for the sale ot public
lands , was entered as part payment of the

terci ) to balance the amount between the
