THE FILIBUISTERERs.
Another Cuban Expedition Suppressed

Gu,
Washington, July 2O.-There Is reason
TO believe that the visit of Secretary Oh
n'ey and yesterdays conference of a ma
Jority of the members of the cabinet.
are directly connected with the suppress
sion of THE proposed expedition to Cuba
which, 1t is claimed by Its sympathizers.
IL OF grsated Importance than any party
Winch has yet left us for the purpose
OF carrying aid to the Cuban insurgents.
Under the circumstances Ut is difficult to
secure ddlls as Ito THE proposed expedi-
tlon or of the steps which are beng taken
to prevent 1T, but 1t is definitely known
uhat the Spanish minister has informant on
that American sympaIthizers are prepar-
ing TO send a very large and we'll eduipp-
cd PARTY 10 Cuba and that the friends
OF khe CuIbans consider that the effect of
uhls movement would be inspiring to the
insurgents because Of the size of the
PARTY proposed to be sent out
1t Is also understood that the insuga-
tors OF the enterprise are coutndng conf
IDENTIFY on the expedition being able Ito
evade the vigilance of the United States
In getting off in go cd shape at no very
distant day.
Orders have been issued to the revanue
cutters Morrill, and Wyona to proceed to
Key West. The orders included directions
TO Keep SHARP lookout for Cuban ill
DIsteTel's. The Maclan is already at Key
West and orders TO other cutters to pro-
ceed nave been Issued.

PRICE, FIVE CENTS

Cake?" And 10, as soon as the Villagers
Tspled the Cake they begun Fighting
like the Wild Cats and vultures OF the
Forest, for each one Wanted to get The
Most out OF The Cake, and all Were con-
sumed by That feeling which men Call
Jealousy and Greed. And they Fought
evn unto kIhe Rising and setting OF many
Moons. And Lo while they Were still
Fighting the gray Bearded man put the
Cake back dn his Pocket and Died. And
in HIS VIII he lett The Cake to a Dis
tant Relation ait the Other end OF the
Word. And the Villagers lifted Up their
voices And wept. And a1ter slow years
Had Rolled by, the Villagers Died, too.
And d new Generation arose that Knew
not Moss nor the Color of Moss. And
the Distant Relation came and offered
them the Cake. and they Fell down on
Thor Knees and Blest the Distant Re-
lalaon, and Ate the Cake, and lived Happy
ever after. But behold. the Old Villagers
heard bhe Noise of cars Rushing Along,
and Engines Screeching, and the. Mighty
tramp OF Many Feet, and they turned in
Their Graves and Sighed. But the Gray
Bearded Man heard the Noise, t5O. and
he Smiled in his Sleep and remained I'M
disturbed.
No. 2.-rhere was Sparkling City BY
the Sea; but It was not Venice. Its streets
were Wood and 1t was built out OF The
Water ON Huge sticks that once had been
Stately Trees growing In the forest. And
the Wooden Streets we're In A horrible
Condition full OF Patchwork Holes and
Crachs But the CITY Fathers were men
OF Wisdom. and they Smiled and said
''W'hat OF IT? The highways are good
Enough for Us, and They must be Good
Enough for the Common People," And
they Passed Resolution. But one day
A poor Man With a Large Family fell
headlong Down Through one OF the High
ways and broke Two of His Limbs. And
the Oty Fathers said: yea, Verify. but
he Had no Business In that part OF The
CITY" And Nhey Passed another Reso-
tuition. And the Next Year one of the
City Fathers fell Through A Highway and
Dislocated Gis Toe. And he Went to
Law and claimed Twenty Thousand silver
Taels for Damage. And the Other City
Fathers offered him Ten Thousand and.
Verify, he Jumped aIt the odsf and Seized
the shekels And they PaAsed another
Resolution. And Public Opinion waxed
Wroth. and men Were sore OF Heart and
began no agNtalte For good Highways.
And the Broken Toed person invested
his Damages in lumber, and sold It to
The City. and gained Much Wealth. and A
Competency. And the City Fathers
wanted to pass stsll Another Resolution,
but The People rose up in their Might
and Threatened TO use shotguns. So the
City Fathers refralned and They Passed
no more Resolutions that Year.

THE DEAD BODY ATTACKED

Sofia, Bulgaria, July 2O.Lrhe funeral of
Stambuloff, which took place today, was
productive of exciting scenes in the
streets. The police were under orders
to take adj precautions TO secure tran
guilty.
Three hundred PAGES from the house
the spot was reached where the murder
was committed. The cIortege was held,
and M. Petroff, who was with the de-
ceased when he was, attacked, and who
was himself wounded, made a speech to
the assemblage. It's head and arm were
wrapped in bandages, where he had been
stbbed on Monday. In an impassioned
harrangue he charged the eneml es of
Bulgaria with the terrible crime of mur-
dering a man Ito whom the country owsd
her independence and the prince his
throne. He was still speaking when
loud cry was raised: Run for your
L4ves." A TERRIBLE panic ensued. The
crowd became frantic and made a rush
to escape. everyone believing that fight
ing had begun. Men and women were
trampled upon and children carrying
wreaths in different parts of the pro-
cesslon threw down their flowers and
fled screaming. A detachment of troops
rode up With drawn SaDres in a moment.
Their appearance Increased the panic,
but after a while they succeeded in re-
STORING order. Nevertheless when the
procession wals reformed and had resum-
ed Its march, DIT had lost many of its
adherents, all of the foreign deputatons
having retired except Representatives of
Germany, Servia and Roumania.
The funsral train had hardly started
again when second panic broke forth,
causing "a scene of confusion which de-
st1oyed THE ranks of the procession.
AIT the cemetery There was another
shocking scene. The friends of Major
Pan-tz, who was executed some years ago
for conspiracy at the instance of M.
Stambufoff, HAD organized a hostile DEM
onstration against the dead statesman
A detachment of cavalry galDoped up just
in time to prevent a collision. The coffin
was lowered in silence. There was no
oraltion over the remains and mo ceremony
to mark the delivery Ito earth of the fore
most and POWERFUL ruler of Bulgaria be-
yond the hosting and hurrahs of a band
OF enemies, who were cnly prevented
from attacking the remains by Gordon
of cavalry which surrounded the grave. |
1t is said the panic was started by a
Shot at lthle carriage bearing the wreaths
sent by the town of Liernova and by the
Union Club, from which M. Stambuioff |
was going on the fatai night.

NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
Supervisors Decide to Pay Shea & Galvin's
Claims and Avoid Further Trouble.
CLAIMS TO BE PAID IN INSTAlLMtNTs
End of n Series of Suits Based on an Error
OF the BOARD In Levying Tax In
Excess of tho Rate Al
lowed by Law.

The board Of supervisors held a special
adjourned session yesterday, at which the
proposition Of Shea & Calvin for settle
ment Of the claims held by them against the
county was accepted. These claims arose
out Of an error Of the county board in the
years 1888, 1889 and $780, in levylng a county
tax Of mills in excess of the amount al
lowed by law Shea & Calvin discovered
the error last year and bought up the claims Of
properly owners, aggregating about sci 900.
They made overtures to the county board
for settlement, but failing in this, brought
suits in the district aud superior courts
They received judgments in all FIVE of their
suits. They then presented proposition for
settlement, in which they agreed to take
the $4,000 in warrants, payable one-half in
one year and the other half in two, bearing
interest at per cent. This proposition was
discussed at the meeting yesterday, and it
was decided that rather than spend any more
money in litigation, as the county clearly
had no defense, the terms should be agreed
to. One OF the stipulations contained In the
agreement is that Shea & Calvin shall bring
no more suits Of this nature against the
county.
The question Of granting a right of way to
the Council Bluffs & Lake Manawa Electric
Railway company was laid over until the
regular meeting on the first Monday In jan
uary,
