The weather yesterday was a great disap pointment to the local base ball enthusiasts. When the morning was ushered In by a drizzling rain , which continued Intermit tently , now lightly and again In a soaking downpour , It became apparent that the great sporting event of the season the base ball game between the St. Paul Wcatern League team nnd an all-Oruaba team could not bo played , and those who had looked forward to the event with much .pleasure for the last week or more carried around with them all day a downcast ex pression of grief. It Mas too bad , and none regretted the rain more than the play ers In the two teams thomselvcu , who had anticipated an Interesting and friendly con tent. The St. Paul players arrived on sched uled time and made many friends during their short visit here. They left In the after- neon , After the present season Is over they will return to Omaha for a game , II being Impossible to sooner book the crenl because all of their dates from now until the end of the season are filled.

Kith the exposition management yesterday me a bftie Monday and hardly 100 paying viMtors passed through ( he gates. It was a day auch as ono would expect to experience In April Instead of August , From early morning until I a to at night there was a con tinuous fall of rain , not the Intermittent showers , but steady rain , a regular old root finder. Once during 'the ' day the sun tried to break through the clouds for a few mo ments , but It gave U up as a hopeless task. The employes of the exposition were allen on hand , but asldo from the ground men , jono had anything to do aside from sitting around the various exhibits , reading the newspapers nnd snapping experiences. The turnstiles at the pass gates were the only one * that did business , and even these were not overworked , for pass holders , other than thooo emptaycd on the grounds , did not care to got out and wndc through the ponds of muddy water. As a result of the long continued rain , the Main court suffered some damage. Early In the morning the balustrade on the north slrto of the l > ngoon at the point whcro the stairs lead Mwnto the boat landing showed signs of WMKness. A force of men started In to do some tracing , but before they could per form tlwlr work the water worked Us way uader t'flo brick paving and during the after noon about 100 feet of this balustrade , ac companied by the piling , woodwork and staff went down with a crash , destroying the flower beds and crushing the floor of the landing below. When the balustrade went down , It took along a sertlon of the pave ment , breaking the electric light wires and the stay rods that held the wall In 'place , snapping them like so many twine strings. Men were Immediately set at work repair ing the damage , but It will bo several days before the wreck can be cleared away and the piling restored In order that new staff may be put on , and the cast end of the Lagoon again present Its former attractive appearance. So far ns the day was concerned , It was absolutely featureless. The morning concert was declared off , as was the ono for the aft ernoon. No attempt was made to call thoraces races ; tn fact It would have been Impossible for man or beast to have gone over the track , OB It was a sea of soft mud from the ' start to the finishing post. During the early morning it was thought that It might bo possible to put on the musical military spec tacle , "San Juan , " but as the day wore on the Idea was abandoned , and at night the grounds were as lonely asa cemetery. With the concessionaires the day was a bad one , their expenses went right along the same as during fair weather , but there were no receipts to act as an offset. None of them had the courage to open up for bust- ness , and It was Just as weH that they did not , for there was no business In sight. The restaurants and eating-houses fared as badly as the exposition. Tables wore set for the guests who never came , and the meals were allowed to grow cold while the proprietors grumbled over their luck anfl the weather , declaring that the latter was- worse than In Cuba or the Philippines during the rainy season. SAW SPANISH FIBET GO DOWN , Joiie Miranda Tell * of Devrcj-'s Vic tory In Manila Hay. Among the Filipinos who are upon the exposition grounds and who form the chlof attraction at the Philippine village Is Jose Miranda , who was an eyewitness to the destruction of Rear Admiral Montojo's fleet In Manila bay by Admiral Dewey on the early morning of May 1 , 1896. At the time of the great naval battle , Miranda was a surgeon-major at the Spanish arsenal of Cavlto. Immediately after the defeat of the Spanish ho left tbo service and re sumed his practice of medicine In Manila , where he was born , nnd where ho resided during all his life with the exception of six years -while he was In Madrid attending college. Speaking of the battle between the American and Spanish fleets , Miranda said : "Wo had heard during the latter part of April that Admiral Dewey "was to attack Cavlte , but we felt no fear as wo thought that Admiral Montojo had a fleet that was Invincible. We all knew that his vessels were the pride of the Spanish navy , many of them practically new , and all heavily armored. When the sun went down Satur day night , April 30 , Montojo's fleet lay out In the harbor and the soldiers In the ar senal at Cavlto felt perfectly secure. Wo knew that If the American fleet was in Spanish waters , It would have to pass the strong fortifications on Corregldor Island before It could get anywhere near the Span ish fleet or Caflte. "It U the rule In the Spanish garrisons that the soldiers shall be up at C o'clock Sunday morning , and this Sunday morning , May 1 , was no exception to the rule. I arose at the usual hour and soon after dressing I heard a cannon Bred. Such things were of frequent occurrence and' I thought nothing of U. Perhaps two minutes later there was another shot , and this time from the para pet walls'of the fort. Then I knew that there was trouble , and , running out , I looked toward Manila bay , a short distance away , and there saw a number of strange vessels , all bearing the Stars and Stripes , bearing down upon Admiral Montojo's flag ship , the Jlelna Christina. The Olympla , the nnmo which I afterword learned the ship bore , was In the lead , and closely followed by seven or eight other Ironclads , When possibly 1,000 yards away this ship cut loose -with one of Us small guns In the rigging and fired two shots. Ono of thorn struck the Christina some place on tbo deck and a minute later there was an explosion and before the smoke cleared away the boat went down , night after this there was a signal from the Olympla , and the American vessels sailed In close , completely surround ing the Spanish fleet. As soon as this oc curred the batteries at Cavlte opened fire , but I don't think that they did any barm , for I afterward heard that none of the gunners had the range. "After the fleet of Dewey surrounded the Don Juan de Austria , Don Antonio do Ulloa , Isla de Cuba , Ida do Luzon , and four or nvo other vffhels , the names of which I can't remember , 1he firing became general , and all of the ships become enveloped In a cloud of smoke and steam. The engage ment continued for something like nn hour , when all of a sudden there wns a cessation of the cannonading and shortly after that ) wo saw the American vessels nteam away. A cheer went up from Cavlte , for we thought that Montojo's fleet had won a great victory. However , as the smoke cleared up , we eaw that the victory belonged to the Americans , for all round In the bay were the battered hulks of the Spanish Ironclads. Some ot them were grounded , while others were sunk , only their masts showing above the water. Ships that could move tried to steam out of | the way , but their progress waa slow , and they could not get far. Some of them were run onto the beach and fired. Probnbly an hour after the American ships drew off , we saw signals flying again , and once more the big vessels started after what wns left of the navy of proud Spain. They steamed on and as they got In range , commenced firing , each shot apparently taking effect. This was n one-sided battle , and after It had been con- tinned for a couple of hours , every one ot Montojo's ships \\cre beached , destroyed or disabled , "After the naval battle I saw that the thing was up , and got out of the fort ns soon as possible. Most ot the soldiers went away at the same time , for wo know that If the Americans could destroy such a splendid fleet of vessels , they would have no difficulty In reducing the fortifications and capturing the town whenever they got ready to make the attack. " Asked how Admiral Dewcy passed the fortifications at Corregldor , and passed under the guns of Cavlto nnd Into the harbor of Manila without being discovered , Miranda said : "Ho did It under cover ot night. " Not n light on any vessel showed with the ex ception of small lanterns hung on the stern ot the flagship and each ono that wnn fol lowing It. The ships were way out In the open wnjcr during the previous day. When night came on the lights were extinguished ; those small lanterns'hung astern , covered so that they reflected their light directly to the rc.ir , nnd then they moved on In single lilc , otherwise they cou'd ' never have gotten nsldo the bay.

The damages awarded by the appraisers must ha actually tendered In payment before the city can proceed - ceed to open the fitrect. This action ot the council virtually overrules the protest ( if Herman Kountzo against the opening and the award of damages by the appralsera , The matter of opening Williams street to Twentieth street , so as to give Edward Harpstrlto an opening to the city from bin property , was brought up by Stuht , who of fered another ordinance. One ordinance cov ering thobubject has been voted down by the council. The question was discussed by Stuht and Ferdinand Stroltz , who always appears to protest. Ho is afraid the opening of Williams btrcet would be a etep In the direction of closing Seventeenth street , In that It would give a part ot the property af fected by the closing a roundabout opening to the olty. Nothing was done and the ordi nance will probably strike a rocky road.
