Their Native Land.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. ct. Rosser Roemer,
one-time captain of the old Busch
Zouaves of this city, and Frank Hilligas,
also of st. LOUIS, who entered the Cuban
service last November, have returned
They are in this country now for the
purpose of securing arms for the ineur-
gent army, and brought letters to this
effect from General Gomez to Delegate
Palma, at New York. Cross Roemer,
as he was familiarly called, comes home
with commission as lieutenant-colonel
of infantry and Hilligass with that of a
lieutenant.
Colonel Roemer tells story full of ad-
venture, ending with thrilling esca-
pade from the Spanish who encircled
the coast of Cuba, desperate voyage of
200 miles on the open sea in 16-foot
boat, finally landing at Nassau, in the
bahama islands, whence they went to
New York on the Ward line steamer
Santiago. From a solid weight of 215
pounds, Roemer has fallen to less than
150 pounds as the result of Cuban chills
and fever.
''We started from Remadios, in Puerto
Principe" said Colonel Roemer, ''under
the escort of Colonel Medabal, the noted
bandit; and the Phil Sheridan of the
Cuban cause, but were forced back to
the Majasa mountains, wherein is To-
Gated the headquarters of the Cuban
civil government. There we obtained

paper, and, after many privations, liv-
ing on cocoanuts and bananas, we
finally reached Nassau, where we were
quarantined for three days, and from
Nassau went by steamer to New York.
"The Cubans are sure to win. The
Spanish army has retreated into Puerto
Principe, and their com mander has noti-
fed General Weyler that he will not

'fThe total strength of the rebel army
at present is $4,000; that of the Spanish
army 100000, to be reinforced by 40 600

The Cuban soldiers are scattered every

British Fleet Opens Fire. on
Zanzibar.
THE UsuRPER FORCED TO FLEE
His Stronghold wrecked and Many Per-
sons Killed--E En- glish Admiral
Now Holds the Town.

AANZiBAR, aug. --f.-4He paldCo Ol IuS
sultan of Zanzibar was bombarded this
morning, and at noon was a mass of
blazing ruins. The usurping chieftain,
Seyyid Khalid, and the commander of
his forces. Seyyid Sales, escaped to the
German consulate, where they remain
under the protection of the German flag.
By a. m. today over hundred Brit
ish subjects and some other foreigners
had embarked on the warships, the
Italians going on board the italian gun
boat Volturno and the Germans seeking
safety at German consulate. A naval
officer was sent to the palace square with
another message for Seyyid Khalid, ask
ing him if he was prepared to osurrender,
and again notifying him that the palace
would be shelled at 9 O'Clock promptly
if he failed to haul down the flag. Sey-
yid replied that he would die sooner
than surrender. His answer was con
veyed to Admiral Rdwson.
At 9 O'Clock the flagship signaled the
Raccoon, Thrush and Sparrow to COM
mence firing. A moment later the
cruiser and two gun boats opened fire
with their heaviest guns. Ten minutes
later they had sent storm of shell and
shot into the palace, tearing big gaps in
it, scattering death and confusion among
its defenders, while dismounting some
guns ashore and putting to fight the
gunners handling the pieces. The fire
of the warships was admirably directed.
Smoke was soon seen issuing from sew
eral parts of the palace.
During this time the ST. George and
the Philomene were held IN reserve, al
though they occasionally pumped shot
into the enemy's camp, adding to the
dismay of it's defenders. The Racoon,
Thrush and Sparrow kept up the bonn
bardment until 8 go, when the palace
was tumbling in ruins and large rents
had been made in the barricade of the
sultsn's followers, who answered the
fire of the warships with persistency and
gallantry, and did not stop firing until
in response to hagship's signal of "cease
firing" the guns OF the warships stopped
showering shot and shell ashore.
The losses of the enemy are not known,
but must have been heavy, especially
among the defenders of the palace proper.
During the bombardment the snltan's
armed steamer Glasgow opened FIRE on
the British warships. A few well-aimed
shells from the heavy guns of the Rae
coon and shot or two from the four
inch guns of the Sparrow crushed
through and through her, silencing her
fire in short order. Ultimately she sank
at her moorings. Soon after the palace
caught fire and the walls and roof were
sent flying here and there by shells.
Seyyid Khalid and Seyyid Sales. COM
mander of the usurpfng sultan's army,
escaped with some OF their followers
through the back part of the palace, and
hurried to the German consulate, where
protection was accorded them. The
usurper fed inland.

ing for a convention Of representatives OF
the body which is to be held in some city
I'm the state during the month of January
next This will be the first step taken to-
ward the organization Of the first state grand
lodge of the order.
According to the bylaws and constitution
OF the society it is necessary that there snail
be a membership of 1000 in the state before
n grand lodge can be organized. There is
provision. however, which permits the hold
ing of a general convention of delegates
from each ledge when the number OF lodges
in the state shall reach twenty-five
The order is strictly an Omaha and
Nebraska product and has been in eX-
istence but three months. In that Time
however, membership Of over 600 has been
obtained in the state. There are at present
duly instituted lodges at the following
points: Omaha Plattsmouth, Hastings,
ONell Seward David City York and
Osceola. During the coming week other
lodges will be instituted at Fremont, Rising
City and Norfolk and in the very near
future still others will be placed in IIoldrege,
Fairfield Edgar and Nebraska City. 1t is
believed by the head officers that twenty

by the middle of January
Deputies are actively at work through
out the state. After the first of next year

ever. that good showing should be made
within the state borders, where the order
was born. before it is extended out into
other states.
The organization is somewhat peculiar as

features have no counterpart. Its insurance.
which is issued on $1,000. $4,000 and $4,000
policies is of a secondary Importance, and
is intended simply as a substantial bond to
keep the members interested in the body
The primary object is to consolidate the
commercial interests of each community in
which a subordinate lodge is located. of
the entire state and ultimately of the entire
country. All matters Of interest to business
men will be taken up, and even matters Of
general interest such as good roads,
municipal improvement and other like sub
jects. will be considered. In a word each
subordinate lodge is intended to be a kind
of local board of trade for the community
in which II is situated.

Increased Attendance at Eastern Ne
braskn Teachers Association.
The attendance yesterday at the Eastern
Nebraska Teachers Association convention
was much greater than on the day previous
and the interest manifest in various papers
and discussions following was very graft
flying. The meeting was called TO order
by President G. w. Fox and as an introduc,
tory TO the days work MISS Bonner rem
dered a piano solo.
The first paper was by ]. A. Cumming OF

the Misses Parks.
Mrs. Jennie +. Keysor delivered an in
teresting address on Literature in the
Schools" pointing out the effects upon the
character of the pupils OF the thoughtful
study Of the masterpieces of the language
and how easily a taste for good reading
could be cultivated In the youth which would
be a benefit to them Intellectually and a
comfort In their declining years. In re-
SpOnSe 10 questions SHe eNpldlutu soHc
methods OF pursuing the work and in con
clusion gave some OF the young teachers
valuable advice on the necessity of con-
stant study and reading to equip them
selves suitably for the profession of a
teacher.
Child Study" a thoughtful paper by
Mrs Grace Scarborough, was listened to
with interest. She gave in detail many OF
her observations on peculiarties of character
as exhibited in the little ones and impressed
upon the minds of the teachers the necessity
of studying the characteristics OF pupils,
especially the smaller ones, If the best re-
suits in an educational way were to be
obtained. BY careful study, natural traits
in the young, which in after years might
grow into serious blemisnes upon the
character OF the man or woman might be
ascertained and corrected.
Prof c. W. A. Luckey OF the state uni
yerslty followed with an address on the
same topic, the subject being handled more
from a scientific standpoint.
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year II, j. Bodwell OF Omaha
president; Miss Jessie Flint OF Bellevue
secretary
The following resolution was adopted and
the association adjourned:
The Eastern Nebraska Teachers associa-
