State Departl2aent Making Prepara-

items for 1t.
WASHINGTON, Aug. S-Although no off,
cial steps have been taken toward the re-
ception of the illustrious Chinese statesman,
Ii Hung Chang, who is expected to arrive
in the United States during the latter part OF
the present month, the matter has already
received the attention of the state department
officials and in view of the short time that
is available to make the necessary prepara-
tions it Is probable that they must begin
at once to arrange the details of the recep-
ton. 1t is unfortunate that the prospective
visit of the Chinese premier was not known
early enough to enable the president to ap-
ply to congress to appropriate funds to de-
fray the expense of entertaining the illus
trious guest in suitable fashion, or at least
in such manner as will not be in objection
ably striking contrast with the profuse dis
play of hospitality made by the European
governments.
Because Lii hung Chang comes not an
individual bue as an ambassador extraor-
dinary there viii be no escape possible for
our national authorities. and they must do
the best they can with the means at hand.
This means recourse to the extraordinary
fund of the state department ard while this
is not in floulishing condition. n1vSr has-
ing exceeded $4,000 n these latter years,

At the conclusion of Mr.. Bryan's
speech there was an uproarous demon
stratlon from the crowd that fairly
made the building tremble The peo-
pie shouted and cheered and blew
horns and made every sort of noise to
demonstrate their approval of what
had been said. And long after the
speaker had left the balcony the throng
fingered in the street and called for
him to come out again. The speech
seemed entirely too brief and they were
hungry for more.
Upon leaving the balcony Mr. and
Mrs. Bryan went to the main parlor
OF the Clifton house, where for an hour
or more they received the multitude
that had given such enthusiastic at
tention to his address. 1t was near
midnight before they were enabled to
get away from the crowd and retire to

Gen. Lucret with a force of insurgent

the Spanish lines of transportation, in which

part. Much railway property and bridges had
been destroyed in this manner. In conse-
