THAT SAUCY DAUNTLESS.
Slips in And Out Under The Nose OF
The Navy.

Slips in And Out Under The Nose of
The Navy.
New York, Nov. ia special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The filibustering steamer Dauntless
is again causing serious concern to
naval authorities. A telegram 10 the
naval department from Key West, Fla,
where the cruiser Montgomery and
the war ship Annapolis are supposed to
be on the watch, announced the sud-
den arrival of the Dauntless at that
port at noon Saturday, the command
ing officer of the Vesuvius, who was
watching at Jacksonville, reported her
in dock there, being cleaned and paint
ed and placed in condition for another
expedition. He thought that she
would be ready in another week and
wondered what steps he would take
to prevent her departure If she had
men and arms ON board and the de-
partment had scarcely informed him
that he must follow her out to sea and
make every effort to prevent her from
reaching Cuba, when the news came
that she had slipped into Key West,
violating the quarantine regulations by
leaving Jacksonville without notice and
completely disconnected the naval au-
thorities, who are afraid she may get
away from her berth as readily as from
her last, without anyone being the
wiser. - ....
n the men and ammunition are now
aboard the Dauntless she is in a fair
way to reach Cuba for all the navy can
do to prevent it, since her speed makes
it difficult for any of our smaller war
ships to catch her in the daytime and
she can easily elude them at night.
The only sure method of preventing her
from reaching Cuba in the opinion of
the naval officers here is to destroy her.

mining exhibits ever made. Colora-
dos exhibits of minerals will be no less
notable. Its state commission has
been most active, looking to that COL
lection of that states diversified pro-
ducts. Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Nevada, Utah, Southern California and
in some instances these states will have
remarkable exhibits. The governors
of West Virginia and New Jersey
have appointed active commissioners
and they report that extensive exhi-
bits for the manufactures of those
states will be made. The governors
of the New York and Pennsylvania will
soon appoint commissioners. The
United States government has made
an appropriation of 100000 and named
commissioners, there being a represen-
tative of each department of govern
ment. This commission will not only
have charge of the construction of the
government building at the exposition,
but will supervise the exhibit designed
to eclipse any former exhibit of the
United States government. All told,
81, 500, 900 will be spent before the gates
of the Mississippi exposition
shall be opened on the first of next
June, at Omaha.
Rapid progress in the construction of
buildings of the mississippi ex-
position has been made during the past
few weeks. The manufactures, the
machinery and electricity, and the
mines and mining buildings are all up
and will be completely enclosed within
ten days. The liberal arts and the ag
ricultural buildings are well under way.
The administration building is all up
completed; the finishing touches are
being put on. The foundations for the
fine arts building and the auditorium
have been prepared and building mat
erial and dimension stuff awaits the
mechanics. The ground for the gov
eminent building on the court OF
honor is readily for the contractors,
who will soon begin work. large
force of men will be employed to push
construction in order to admit OF the
inside work being finished during the
winter. Work on the service building
and the girls and boys building will be
commenced in a few days.
The Nebraska state building on the
Bluff tract will be the first of the state
buildings completed, excellent progress
having been made since the piles were
driven for the foundation on the 18th
of September. The frame work is about
done and the great dome is being rails
ed to it's commanding position. Ne
braska appropriated 100000.
The Illinois building and the Wiscon-
sin building have been designed and
the work of construction will proceed
without delay. These buildings have
been located upon the Bluff tract in
the vicinity of the Horticultural and
the Nebraska state buildings.

AFTER THE SOLDIERS HOMES.

New York, Nov. 16.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
The question Of more economical, eff
ficient and responsible administra-
ton of the volunteer soldiers home will
be made the subject of investigation
by Congress as a result of the recent
inspection of the institution by Brig
Gen. ]. c. Breckenridge, general inspec-
tor of the army.
That officer will urge in his report
the necessity of greater accountability
of the board of managers of the home
for the expenditure of money received
and that it's status with relation to the
government be definitely established.
Gen. Breckenridge will suggest the adj
visibility of a complete transfer of
the administrative of the homes to the
jurisdiction of the secretary of war and
the creation of new buereau of war
department to manage its affairs.

In Pullman Cars.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 16.-An excursion
train of Pullman sleepers will leave
Omaha for Houston, Texas, arriving
there December 6, conveying to the
Texas metropolis delega ion of IS
representative men from all sections
for Nebraska. The object of this
special delegation is to attend the deep
water convention at Houston, thus TO
awaken public interest throughout this
territory in the advantages offered by
gulf lines in the way of reduced trans
portation tolls ON the products of the
midwest. The real estate exchange
of this city has taken great interest in
this proposed excursion and recently
a special committee was appointed, of
which Mr.. w. H. Green was chairman,
to confer with the managers of the
Trans Mississippi Exposition and to
enlist cooperation in the matter of
having the state represented at the
deep water convention. At a meeting
of the board of managers of the expo
sition recently the matter was submit
ted by Mr.. Green. Favorable action
was taken and Mr.. Green will carry
out the extensive plans already formu-
lated. The movement is well organic
ed and in response to requests sent out
some time ago the mayors of leading
towns in Nebraska have appointed del
egates to attend the convention at
Houston.
The promoters of the deepwater har-
Dor convention have sent broadcast ad-
verusing matter regarding the conven-
ton and have included in their circu-
lars motives highly complimentary to
the Trans Mississippi Exposition, set
ting forth the advantages which must
accrue to Texas from a creditable rep
resentation. In this connection it may
be stated that the state officials of

KILLING OFF THE CUBANs.
New York, Nov. ia special to the
World from Havana, says:

World from Havana, says:
1t appears now that nearly 70 per
cent. of the 100000 helpless women,
children and the non-combatants in Gu
ba affected by Captain. Gen. Weyler's
policy are dead. Despite the order
issued by Gen. Blanco to feed the
starving, the daily mortality Of the
remaining concentrates" is frightful.
The rabid Spaniards who believe that
only by determination of the race this
Cuban war can be won, openly chal-
lenge the good faith of Gen. Blanco's
statements as to his intention to feed
and find work for those whom Gen.
Weyler has not killed.
They jubilantly claim that the new
captain general is enforcing the bar
barous concentration" of the country
people exactly as has his predecessor.

news from the small towns. In one of

fion it was called "One of the most
