I'alma took an active part In the negotiations between Generals Urooko arut Gomez over the- payment of the Cuban soldlera for services rendered under the American flag. Ho was at Uio head of the movement to have General Gomez em powered to pay off his soldiers , and when the project failed I'alma left Cuba , having re- nolvcd not to return to his native country. General Jantscha was born In Austria , and although ho spent the early part of his life In Cuba , where bin father owns largo sugar plantations , ho served eight years 03 lieu tenant In the Austrian array , having made n special study of explosives In the nmunl- tlon department. After leaving the army General Jantschn spent several years studyIng - Ing medicine In I'arln and Germany. The general's service In Cuba lasted n year. During that tlmo the troops under his command were engaged In destroying the ( bridges and railroads constructed by the Spanish engineers. At the battle of Sara toga , Juno 17 , 189G , bo was wounded In thlrty-BOven different places by the Spanish rapid-lire guns and captured by a detach ment of Spanish troops. General Jantscha was placed In the mili tary prison nt Puerto Principe , being kept there flvo days. Ho was then removed In chains , under heavy guard , toNcuvltoa , where the ! squad with their prisoner took a steamer for Havana. There he was locked up In the famous Morro Castle. He was sentenced to bo shot and shows with prldo A n release signed by General Weyler bearing , the statement that the death penalty was commuted because or bis physical condition and that ho had been given liberty to leave the country. The release was secured for him by General Fltzhugh Lee. American Imiirovciiu'iitM In Iliivmiu. The general In enthusiastic over the mu nicipal Improvements made by the Ameri cana In Cuba Blncothe _ end of Spanish rule. ( < V ' 1 ° Bavs thn sanitary systems Inaugurated ' Iby the 'Americans have Improved conditions wonderfully and have boautllled nil the towns and cities where work has been done. Syndicates of Americans have begun to build nnd operate street car linos. Huge estab lishments for the manufacture of Ice have iboon built and largo department stores have Ibeen started and already pay well. The masses of people , General Jantscha nayswant American rule. It Is only the people whom independence would raise to positions of af fluence , who desire to determine the form of government for themselves. Speaking of experiences when In com mand of the dynamite troops the general told of one of the first duties he was as signed to execute. It was soon after being given command. Spies in Puerto Principe ' learned that ft train was expected from Nue- vltas on March 8 with munitions nnd arms. Ills troops struck the line of the railroad cloven miles from Puerto Principe the night of March 7. During the night seven dyna mite cartridges wore burled under the track , connected with batteries and a key hidden in a bunoh of shrubbery at the top of a bill. The general lay near the key , keeping the troopB In concealment behind the hill until nbout 10 o'clock when a train came rumbling up the grade. When the cars were above the cartridges the key was touched , exploding the dynamite. A cloud of debris rose In tfie air and then settled. Nothing was left of a dozen cars but fragments. Of 220 Spanish eoldlera on board eighty were killed and 100 wounded. \Vhnlcnn1e Job of Killing. Another thrilling description given by the general was that of the wrecking of a trainload - load of Spanish soldiers near Matanzas. IP NOWB was brought that n train carrying 800 j men and eomo munitions hod been dls- ' patched by Woylor from Matanzas to Ha vana. The Cuban troops were marched tea a small station on the road and a line of cartridges was laid near a high precipice. While waiting , a train from the west drew < Into the station loaded with men and women. 1 The Cuban soldlora took possession of it / * nml locked the passengers in the station. There were several engineers In the com pany. They were ordered to build llWTSrea beneath the engine boilers and put on a full head of steam. When the scouts signaled the approach of the military train from Matanzas the dyna mite cartridges were abandoned. Tbo engine throttles of the captured train were thrown wldo open and It was sent flown the hill to meet the ono approaching from the other direction , The two trains came together at * ho edge of the precipice. The onglea rose Jilgh lu the air , timbers wore torn , and twisted , thtm the whole sixteen cars con taining soldiers packed together llko oar- dlncs In a box crushed together , toppled over the precipice and fall eighty feet to the rocks below and not a man of the 800 escaped Instant death. fluurrelcMl About the Ileiit.

BUSINESS WITH A TRUST Vnn ( Jllilrr of llnnrd of Krtucntlim ItnUt > N Voice . \Kiilnnt Iliiylnu from .Ititcrlt-un Sclioiil Furniture , C . A report submitted to the Hoard of Edu cation at Monday night's meeting by Super- intcndent of Buildings Hanker , recommend ing the purchase of 000 Buffalo school scats from the American School Furniture com pany , stirred up a brief hubbub. The scat recommended Is made by the company whlcn Is the defendant In nn Injunction suit brought by Attorney General Smyth to pre vent It from doing business In the state on the ground that It Is a trust. Van Olldct- declared he would not vote to buy anything from a truat. Hes asked If It were not tru that the board wns under contract to buy scats for the now schools from that company and Secretary Olllan answered that It was. The recommendation was then adopted , only ono vote being registered against It. Cowlo Hecured the adoption of n resolution to the effect that a committee of five mem bers of the board , flvo other citizens , the chluf of the flro department and the city 'building Inspector examine the top floor or the High school building and report on the advisability of using It any longer for school purposes. He said It was too great a re sponsibility for the board to boor atone , to send children Into that dangerous portion of thu building. Upon recommendation of the High school committee the following teachers were olectol nt the salaries given : Ruth Phil- Hl'Pi ' , 170 ; Julia Randall , $80 ; Maude Hammond - mend , $ SO. It was decided that credit would bo al lowed for military drill at the rate of one point for the first two years and ono point for each succeeding year. A set of rulen and code of discipline were adopted for the government of the cadets. Attorney Lunt reported that the title to the military equipment of the High school was vestal In the school district and was subject to the solo control of the board. The following new teachers were elected : Ellen C. Boyden , Alice S. Converse , Bessie Chambers , Mary French , Blanche Murphy , Uaura Moullck and Katherlne S. Reuff ; for the kindergarten department , Eva Holde- man and Evelyn Jones. P. B. Myois , W. O. Gilbert , J. N. Williams and K. I. Farmer , fusion nominees for the board , filed their statements of expenses In curred In securing nominations. They had paid out nothing. The board referred the election booth mat ter to its attorney and will have his opin ion before bruising Us head against a prop osition that has so far baffled the com bined wisdom of the county commissioners and the city council. The board was offered the north ninety- two feet of lot 8 , block 25 , adjoining the Cass school site on the cast for the sum of J5.GS5. The offer was referred. Teal offered a resolution ordering that the further cleaning of seats cease. Ho said $5,500 had already been expended for this purpose and It was time to quit. Ilit the board was too fond of cleanliness and referred - forred the resolution. HAS A FALL DOWN A WELL Louie Illbhler Dropn n. Dlntniicc of Tlilrt--irivc Feet nnd Ureiika Uotli Lens. While engaged in cleaning out a well on the property of Adam Luc , Forty-fourth and Leavenworth streets , Louis Hlbbler , ono of Luo'a neighbors , fell thirty-five feet down the well shaft , alighting on the brick bottom tom nnd breaking both legs. The accident happened at the completion of the job when Luo was hauling Hlbbler to the top of the shaft. The rope was not a large ono , but was thought to be strong enough to sustain a man's weight. To the end was attached a bucket used In hauling up the refuse scraped from the bottom. When the well was cleaned Hlbbler put one foot In the bucket and Lue dragged him up. He was within seven feet from the top when the rope strands parted and ho wan tumbled back again down the Bhnft , bumping the sides In the descent till he was badly bruised. The neighbors were attracted by Kibbler's cries of palu and hastened to his assistance. Luo was lowered by another rope which he attached to the other man's body nnd friends nt the top of the shaft dragged him up. Physicians discovered that both of Kibbler's legs were fractured. Dr. Detweller was called and after mak ing an examination found that the man had sustained a compound fracture In one leg nnd broken both bones in the other. Ho was also Injured Internally , but to what extent the diagnosis failed to reveal. The man was removed to his home near Forty- fourth and Leavenworth. He Is an old man and the chances for hie recovery are not of the very best. Entertainment.

SACRIFICED FOR POLITICS Deaf and Dumb Institute Bun in the Interest of the Fuiioa Machine. PUPILS' WELFARE COUNTS FOR NOTHING Stntr .Si-ltnnl Hriiinliin Clnnril While the McmlnTH of ( lie llonrd Arc CnmiinlKiiliiK for Their Fntorlte CitiiillilntoM. The Deaf and Dumb Institute , a state In stitution located just outside the city limits , Is suffering from the blight of popullstlc and fusion rule , and Instead of the poor unfor tunates who should bo protected and cared for there , and receiving the attention to which they are entitled , they are permitted to roam about the country nt will , while the ofllcers of the school and the members of the board , having Its affairs In charge , are chasing up and donn the state , rolling In the political mire and fostering the Interests that placed them In power. The Deaf and Dumb Institute should have commenced Its school year on September 6.1 I Circulars setting that date as the time for the opening were sent to the patrons throughout the state. Some of the pupils who attended the school last year arrived , and with them came several new ones , but. . instead of finding the school ready for thcil | leccptlon , they found things in a very : chaotic condition. The school rooms weru In bad repair , the dormitories and the work shops were In even a worse state , and a general run-down appearance prevailed j everywhere. Many of the teachers were ab sent and nothing about the place Indicated that the school was ready for the arrival of the pupils. Of course ; some of the mutes did not arrive at the date indicated In the circulars and to these circulars were sotit announcing that the school would opeu on October 1. Of the pupils of the Deaf and Dumb In stitute who arrived early In September some have remained at the Institute , but no at tention has been given to their care. They have been permitted to come and go as they please , nlng down-town or wandering about the country. On the morning of October 1 , acting under the supposition that the institute would open on that date , another lot of the pupils ar rived , but llko .those who came early In September they found nothing ready for their reception. Instead , they learned that the officials of the Institution were out cam paigning and assisting in pushing along the political Interests of the candidates on the fusion ticket. When the Deaf and Dumb Institute will open Its doors seems to be a mooted question at this time. It Is given out seml-otnclally that everything will bjp In readiness for pu pils on October 12 , but little credence Is placed in the statement. People feel that on account of the delays that have hereto fore occurred and also on account of the fact that the political campaign la growing warmer each day , the workers will not be called off while their services are needed. { SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. IJ I -J Monday night's session of the city council whs exceedingly tame ns compnred with pre- v.ous sessions. Mayor Ensor wns absent nnd President Bennett occupied the chnlr. Blda for grading and laying a sewer were opened and the tabulating of these occupied some little time. Cnsh Brothers were given the contract for grading 0 street from Twenty-fourth to Twenty-sixth. Their bid was 14 cents a cubic yard where the city retained the dirt and 12 centa a cubic yard if the dirt went to the contractors. City En gineer Beal will determine whether the city wants to use the dirt or not. It Is estimated that 21,000 yards of dirt will have to bo moved. For the grading of Twenty-first street from Q to S the contract went to Cash Brothers at the same figures ns In the other bid. Only about 5,000 yards will be moved In this case. George Dare secured the contract for layIng - Ing n ten-Inch eewer along Q street from Twenty-third to Twenty-elxth at a cost of OS cents a lineal foot. City Clerk Carpenter was Instructed to advertise for bids for the laying of wooden sidewalks from the present time until Juno 30 , 1900. Crosswalks were ordered located as follows : North side of alley nt Twenty- elxth and F streets ; on the alley on Twenty- second street between Q nnd R ; on the south side of S street at Twenty-third street ; also nt Thirtieth and R streets.

A petition for the laying of a eldewalk on the west side of Thirty-ninth street from P to Q was referred to the committee on viaducts , etreets nnd alloys. Property- owners in Albright protested against the laying of a sidewalk on the south side of the county road between Washington and Jefferson streets and the remonstrance went to the street and alley committee , Reports from the heads of the different city departments wore read and flled. After allowing September bills the council ad journed until next Monday evening. IntcrcNt In Iliirixlnr ClnrU. The wounding of Frank Clark , the burg lar , at Twenty-second and I streets Sunday night , caused considerable talk on the streets yesterday and the hope wns expressed that the shooting of Clnrk would hnvo a salutory effect upon others who might bo burglariously Inclined , It was learned here yesterday that a smooth-faced man had been nrrested In Omaha Sunday night while hav ing a bullet wound In his leg dressed. It la supposed that thla fellow Is a pal of Clark'a and that he is the ona who left a trail of blood on I street , coat of Twenty- second street. Yesterday afternoon Police Judge Babcock sent up a warrant for John Doa and Chief Carroll brought him down hero in hopes that bo will bo Identified as ono of the men with Clark. In speaking of hla adventure * Clark says tils pal bad a beard and cannot therefore be the man ar rested in Omaha. He further arserts that only two men , himself and another , were In tha Wilson house nt the time of the tihooting. Those who surrounded the house and saw the men break for liberty Insist that there were three of them , Chief of Police Cnrroll stated yesterday forenoon that Captain Allle must have been mistaken when be asserted that Clark had been In Jail hero before , as the prUonor Is a stranger In these parts , Captain Allle stated in the presence of Mayor Kneor that Clark had been arrested a month or six vtoeks ago on the charge of suspicion and at that tlmo gave the name of Swanson. He further asserted that Judge Babcock dis charged Swanson. A decided difference of opinion exists here. Judge Babcock posi tively Deserts that Clark , alias Swanson , was never brought before him on any charge. He further states that no such utuna as Swanson appears on the docket. In this Chief Carroll substantiates the statements made by the police Judge. This Is what Judge Babcock has to say about the matter : "As a matter of fact , and In justice to all concerned , Flank Clark , alias Swanson , the man caught In the act of burglarizing the house of Cbauncey Wil son last Sunday night , was never arrested upon the charge of suspicion , or any other charge , and the said Frank Clark ha * never been broutht before mo M police Judge ns stated by The Boo In y tordny morning's Issue , upon any charge mhatotcr , and fur thermore I never saw the man before , con sequently when you * ay 'For reasons best known to himself Police Judge Bnbcock dis charged Clark , alias Snanson , from custody. Uist night's escapade , however , shows that the police were Justified in arresting Clark ns a suspicious chnrncter , " > ou arc not stat ing the facts In the case , and I nsk In nil fairness space to present the matter In the right light before the public ns the facts nre Just ns I have stated in the first part of this communication. " The wounded man arrested In Omaha gives the name of Herman Erbls. Ills wound Is painful but not dangerous. Erbls has told several different storlce about the manner In which ho caino by hie wound. First ho asserted that three negroes held him up In'tho Union Pacific yards , but later on said the holdups were white men. When It came to giving a description of the loca tion where the nlleged holdup Is supposed to hnvo occurred Krbls appeared nil nt sea. The police nro Inclined to think that Krbls wns with Clnrk at the tlmo of the Wilson burglary. It Is exported that both Clnrk nnd Erbls Villl bo given n hearing before Judge Babcock within a day or two , llunril of Kiliicnlloii Meeting. At Monday night's meeting of the Board of Education Superintendent Wolfe reported upon the close of his first year's laborw hero and reviewed the progress made by the schools In the last twelve months.

CAMPAIGN FORMALLY Politics Takes Tint Place in Attention of the People , SCHEDULE OF MEETINGS FILLING UP Crtitrnl Ciiiumlttccn Ktxnrlnir on the AKncRMinoiitn o Cnndldntc * I'u- lou Tot Munt HP Divided Into Mntty Small 1'llci. The season of street fairs nnd parades , which haa held ttway over the state with such unusual strength nnd persistence , has passed nnd for the present month politics I11 bo the theme. The campaign Is set nominally to begin todny nnd already there has been n noticeable awakening , which will become more nnd more marked aa the week posses , until by Saturday , when the last of the conventions will have been held , one of the wannest contests ever hold In nn olt- yenr will b < ? fully started. Already the sec retaries of the various campaign commit tees nnd their assistants nbout headquarters nro busily prepnrlng lists of assignments for the spaakcrs nnd In some caw.-s printed tuatlor la being ordered for Immediate use. Chairman Orlando Tcfft of the republican state contra ! committed la In the city to confer with the chairmen of the judicial nnd county committees regarding meetings In this locality. As fnr ns Is practicable the three committees will work together on the state meetings to bo scheduled at Omaha. The three chairmen will also go over the situation together nnd mature plans for tnk- ing the best ndvnntngo of the wnve of polit ical enthusiasm which the nomination of the republican state ticket set In motion. The Eighth ward will emphasize the rati fication already received by the republican state and county nominees this evening nt Wolf's hall , Twenty-second nnd Cumlng streets. Lee S. Estclle and Judge W. W. Keysor have been Invited by the county committee to address this meeting nnd have promised to do so. Besides these all the other candidates will bo there. Just now the chairmen of the central committees are figuring on the assessments which they can make on candidates. Under the new law candidates may contribute $100 for the first 5,000 votes cast , nnd J1.50 for every hundred votes In excess. It Is necessary to figure out In advance how much this will allow each candidate and to keep well Inside the probable limit. Moreover , the amount of money expended by every candidate In securing his nomination must be deducted from his contribution to the campaign tund. Right here Is where the fusion committees are struggling with the tiller and trying to keep It from sweeping them oft the deck. They have to keep three engines going In place of the one operated by the republicans. The democratic , populist and silver repub lican parties each have city , county , judicial and state central committees , making about nine piles Into which to divide the sinews of war. Naturally there Is no pile large enough to admit of any very active work beIng - Ing done and with the Indifferent cooperation tion or lack of It which is sure to prevail among these many bodies , the efforts of the fusion party will be scattered and Isolated bejond hope of effective result. Of course , with the abundance ofwell - qualified and willing patriots which always characterizes the fusion conventions , It came about that some of the aspirants had to throw themselves to get even the nomination and those who did will , necessarily , cut down'their contributions to the cause , how ever willing they may be to beggar themselves - selves to help It along. All petitions for delegations to the city convection must be In the hands of the sec retary of the city central committee by noon today. His office Is In room 837 , Now York LJfe building. Protests , If any , must bo filed before 6 p. m. of * .bo same day. The executive committee will pass upon the pro tests at 8 o'clock In the evening. FIRST WARD REPUBLICANS J. C.
