ran back through the crowd.
The bell was considerably dam
aged. Manager Knapp said he
would trust to the people of
Areoia TO prosecute the villain
who had so grossly insulted
American pride by striking one
of its cherished emblems. Major
McWilliams Of the Fourt regi-
ment, Illinois national guard,
effected the arrest and Mat

CUBAN WAR NEWS
Senior Dupuy de Lone Thinks
the Rebellion Will be
Crushed.

Senior Dupuy de Lone, Span
ish minister to the United
States, today expressed the
opinion that the rebellion in
Cuba is sure to be crushed. 1t
is impossible, he added, to say
just when, because of the con
ditions that exist on the island.
The minister characteriZes the
methods employed by the re-
bells as guerrilla warfare, and
declares that it will be impos-
sible to have a decisive battle
under such conditions. A great
deal of transformation, he said,
had been sent out by the re-
bells.
ct is easy to account for the
methods now employed by the
Spanish government" said the
minister. The climatic condi
tons of Cuba are very peculiar.
July, August and September
are the three great months for
the rebels-two dead and the
third fast dying. These months
include the rainy seassn in Gu
ba. and the most unhealthy for
the Spanish troops. 1t is impos-
sible to carry on successful
warfare amidst pouring rain.
But the Spanish government
has been preparing for an &C
tive campaign. The second
corpus of $4,000 men have been
landed in Cuba. 1t is is prob
able that active movements will
not begin until The 1st of De-
tober, or some time during tina:
month, according to the condi
ton of the weather. 1t is some
times asked why troops are
now landed in Cuba when they
are not to be called into active
service for some time. The an
swer is plain. From the Goth
of September until the Goth oil
November is the cyclone season
in the West Indies, aud there
is great difficulty in transport
Ing troops, as we'll as great
danger of loss of life. Before
the Goth of September all the
troops necessary to crush the
rebellion will be landed, and
as soon as the rainy season is
over an active and vigorous
campaign will begin. There can
be no doubt as TO the outcome
The small force under the in,
surgents will be scattered and
the rebellion ended"

MORA CLAIM SETTLED.
Spain Pays the Full Amount of
Indemnity.

Washington, D. c., Sept. "A.
-Seuor De LONE, the Spanish
minister at noon today deliv-
cred to Mr.. Adee, acting Secre-
tary of State, a draft to the
equivalent of 81 10000, drawn
on the Spanish financial agent
in London, in settlement of the
Mora claim. There was no
ceremony about the proceed
ings at the State Department.
They marked the close Of an
international question that has
dragged along for twenty six
years, giving rise to fiery de-
bates in the Spanish Cortes and
protracted committee inquiries
in both branches of our own
Congress.
The Spanish minister came
to the State Department alone,
and his interview with Acting
Secretary Adee lasted only
about ten minutes. The method
Of collecting the draft has not
been determined yet, and Mr..
Adee will await instructions
from Secretary Olney.
Having settled the interna-
tional feature Of the case the
State Department is now likely
to encounter some difficulty at
home in disbursin9 the money.
Much litigation is Threatened
as was evidenced by the taking
out of an INDUCTION by one oil
the assignees yesterday to re
strain the State Department
from paying over all of the
money to the claimant, Mora.
During the years Of the
tendency of this great claim
Mr.. Mora la been obliged &c
make assignments of part Of
it, the larger items being or
account of legal expenses. Some
of these assignment have beer
recorded in the State Depart
ment. Their number and ag
gregate amount can not be
learned at present. OF these
the Department must take
notice in settling the claim
and it is probable others are
outstanding of which the De.
partment has not yet been in
formed.

Annex and Manufactures Building
A Famous Picture-ForeStrY and
Mineral Exhibits, Etc. Etc.
Especial Correspondence

"It is fairylandi" So spake an old
timer, world-traveled, blase and critical,
familiar with the brilliant boulevards
Of Paris, and satiated with the far
famed Examinations of Baden-Baden
All this was in his mind when he turned
short, threw down his cigar and broke
off an earnest business talk to gaze
spellbound upon the unmatched lowell
ness of Piedmont park
Il have seen Paris in SO, and the
worlds fair, and the centennial. but
this beats them ALL
The common opinion of all who see it
is that the decorative lighting of
this exposition has never been APP
done in fire, and it should make
Luther Stieringer immortal as an
artist. If the jury of awards did not
pass upon this picture they left out the
greatest and best of all. 1t was Michael
Angelo who combined art with archi-
lecture, and was great in both, and it is
Stieringer who unites art with archi-
lecture, and calls down fire from heaven
to glorify their union.
The electric fountain, another tri-
umph of this exposition, is also the
work of the great fire artist. Here
again n new fairyland is opened. Water
is wizard at making colors, and when
the fire artist adds this element to his
palette he makes pictures which trans
cend description. They give the OBJ
server a kind of intellectual eXaltation
which may be enjoyed and remem bered,
but may never be hung upon cold type.
Having spent this much time in fairy
land, let US throw off the spell and look
leisurely at exhibits. Take the wOman's
annex as a point of interest. There is

THE PURITAN THANKSGIVING.

a Story OF Uncomplaining Fortitude, Sc1e-u
did Faith and Undaunted Heroism.
In what perjury, what hardship, what
sense of exile, what darkness of bereave-
ment, what dependence upon the Di-
vine hand and gratitude for its bounty,
were the earliest Thanksgivings keptI
The story OF the Plymouth colony can
never be too often recalled by Amer
leans. For accomplishing fortitude.
for sturdy endurance, for strength
that knew no faltering, for splendid
faith and undaunted heroism, that
story has no equal on the page of his
tory. Many delicate women died in
those first years, but we never read
that they weakened in courage while
they lived. Theirs was the underlying
might of purpose which had its root
in principles and, whoever may ceIe-
brate the Pilgrim Fathers, women
should forever keep green the memory
of the heroic Pilgrim Mothers.
We like to think of the groups which
assembled at those Puritan dinner
tables in those far-away days. The
harvests were reaped; the churches and
the school-houses were built; the chill
dren were brought up in the fear Of
God. In the cold meeting house on
the top of the nearest hill there had
been long service, prayers, psalms,
sermons, al of generous prodigality
of time to which we in our religious
services of to-day are strangers. Then
came the unbending, the lavish dinner,
the frolic of the little ones, the talk be-
side the fire, when the parents drew
upon the "reminiscences of fair Eng.
land, or of Holland by the sea.
Many a trothplight was spoken in
the twilight of Thanksgiving day.
Youths and maidens then, as youths
and maidens still, met and fell in love.
The beautiful story which never grows
old was told by the ardent sutton to
the blushing girl in the Puritan home,
as in our households yet.
Long was the good mans sermon,
But it seemed not soto me,
For he spake of Ruth the beautiful,
And then thought of thee
After all, the world changes little III
essentials as time passes. The girl
will wear her blue or her orange few
days later this year, but on Thanlisgiv-
ing day, as on all days, her lover will find
his sunshine in her eyes, and her favor
will be his highest incentive to manli-
ness and obility.-Harper's Bazaar.

This same building contains an sN-

DIR. Daniel T. Day. of the United States
geological survey, who has gathered
the finest collection ever made OF tue
mineral resources of the Appalachian
system. The exhibit of coal is far the
hest ever made The Institute of Mir
ing Engineers gave this exhibit high
praise, and it is SO arranged that tnee
average visitor, unskilled in the tech-
nique of mineralogy, may appreciate ITS
value.
Another fine exhibit of mineral is in
the lower story of the Georgia building,
where a perfect sphere of marble, our
feet in diameter, is poised on solid
piece of marble 21 feet long. Both arc
from Pickens county. DIR. 4eates, the

For pearly dawns and crystal morns,
For mountain, mead and plain.

For golden yields from fertile fields,
For fax and wool and wine;
For hea!Ihful roots; for rudy fruits;
For Plentys laden horn;

Give thanks this festive morn.
Give thanks for reunited bands,

out having his patriotism more deeply
implanted in him. The multitudinous
functions of a great government reveal
the greatness of the country and the
people which it serves. 1t touches their
lives only IL high places, and the great
masses are below, in the valleys of hui
mainly, great substratum, under
meath the throbbing machinery of
state, only moving at long intervals
when some seismic force impels them to
revolutions; but here they are, like the
everlasting arms beneath the cherubim,
the invisible greatness behind this con-
crete expression. There is nothing
under Heaven as great as human soul,
and the outward semblance of our gov
eminent has an infinite meaning when
we think of the 70,00O,000 souls behind
it.
These are the creators of government,
and il makes no difference what written
constitutions we have, the people will
shape them according to their own
sweet will. Our future will be no.
brighter, our government no wiser than
they, and the enlightening of the
masses, the uplifting and Frightening
of their lives is the grandest motive
which moves a great enterprise like
this exposition A motive like this is
worthy of the princely gift of $4,000
by the chairman of the finance com
mittee, and the magnificent contribu-
tions of the patriotic directors.
The exposition is an assured success.
The financial problem has been solved,
and the great enterprise moves on
grandly to its elimination The peo-
pie of Atlanta have achieved results
never equaled, and the only candidate
for sympathy is the person who does
not see this wonderful exhibition, in
many respects the most remarkable the

pins claws, and-ugh!-there is the
same scoundrel with trophy of 100 hu-
man scalps, dried and hung to his wam-
pun! Let us pass on.
Speaking of Indians, you can go from
dead ones to live ones, and see Two
Strikes, who is not the hero of base
ball game, but of a ghost dance which
rave Uncle Sans soldiers a great deal
Of trouble before they caught the step.
Speaking of armies the finest exhibit
of arms ever seen in America is in the
Manufacturers building. You can see
there u kind of gun used by the Jap
anese and the Chinese in the last war.
Both were good, but the Japs had the
better weapon-the same used by the
German army. There You see the
modern ammunition, nickel steel bull
lets and smokeless powder. At Fort
Mcpherson not long ago ONE OF these
bullets overshot the target and killed a
Dlule two miles and half away. The
bullet was identified and the govern
ment paid for the mule. These bullets
go through so inches of wood at SO
Yards. You see samples of this in the
exhibit, also four-inch steel armOr
pierced by six-pound projectiles from
Hotchl<iss rapid-fire gun, which is on
exhibition there.
There is near by a commercial exhib-
It which shows the greatness of our
commerce. 1t is by an importing house
which trades with 159 countries and
shows products of many. 1t has as a
eurio a Peruvian Inca's head dried, and
relieved of it's bones. The hair is still
alive, long and black as jet. Among
other American wares it has a music
box which represents whole Orches-
ira.
The picture which attracts most at
tention in the Art gallery is Hovenden's
breaking of Home Ties" 1t is a fa-
nous picture, great in itself, but par
'ticular interest attaches to it because of
the recent heroic death of the painter.
Hovenden lost his life a few weeks ago
trying to snatch a child out of the way
of a locomotive. The child escaped, but
Hovenden lost his balance and fell un-
der the engine, where he suffered a hor-
.rible death. The pictures subject is
well known. A country boy is leaving
home to seek his future in the city, and
his old mother, with her hand ON bis
shoulder, gives the lad parting injunc-
ton. What the injunction is no words
tell. but the mothers face wears an
expression more eloquent than the
words of POIonius or the lament of Jacob
for BENJAMIN.
We have all heard of 4he cradle of
democracy, but few have seen it, The
original cradle which rocked Thomas
jefferson is on exhibition in the
Forestry building, and the United
States government voDehes for the au-
thenticity of the story. You can see
the place in the side where the infant
statesman cut his teeth, and OH one cor
ner he Clipped off a big lot of wood
where his wisdom tooth came through.
The government is not responsible for
this part OF the story. but the visitor
NAV see it for himself.

has also the best display ever made Oi
