PLANS FOR A GREAT SILVER PALACE
Trans-Mfssissippi Exposition Build
Ing VIII BE Gorgeous.

Chicago, Jan. 22.-Edward Rosewater,
chief Of the bureau of publicity and pro-
motion Of the Mississippi exposition
to be held in Omaha from June to No
vember, 1898, is acting for the exposition
directors, and has approved and accept
ed the plans for a silver palace. This
palace is to be one of the imposing fea-
lures Of the exposition, and the central
figure in a portion of the grounds to be
called Ell Dorado. The building is to be
400 feet square, surmounted with man.
moth ornamental towers, and the entire
structure will be covered with rolled sill
yer. The silver to be used in its external
covering will be contributed by the min
ers of the great west. Over 3O0,OO feet
of external surface will be covered by
the precious metal.
The silver palace will be used entirely
for the display Of mineral products and
products of the west. The amount of
pure silver to be used in covering the
walls and dome of the mammoth building
has not yet been definitely estimated. 1t
will largely depend on the thinness of
the sheets of pure metal that can be
used for this purpose.

NO REIMBURSEMENT FOR LANDS.
Congress Has Not Yet Passed n Bill
to Pay Back $1.25 an Acre.

Washington. d. c.. Jan. paw. s. Landes
of Murray, Idaho, writes to Senator Shoup
garding a matter in which great many set
tiers and purchasers of land along the
veyed line of the Northern Pacific between
Cello and Portland, which never built,
are interested. Many of these settlers are of
the impression that when the land grant was
forfeited to the United States and the govern
ment land reduced to SIPS acre, that they
were entitled Immediately to reimbursement
from the government of one-half of the 49, so
per acre which they had paid.
Attempts have been made at every session of
congress since this portion of the Northern Pa
cifc land grant was forfeited to secure the
passage of bill directing the secretary of the
treasury to repay $1.25 per to those who
purchased government land along the proposed
line at $3.50 per acre, upon the filing of suf-
ficient proof. but such action has never been
taken. Such bill is now pending and the
senators and members from Oregon. Washing
ton and Idaho are DESTROYS of having II pass
but find SO much opposition on the part of east
ern members who are inclined to think that
the land was sold cheaply enough in the first
place, that they almost despair of getting the
measure through. The only advice which they
can give to settlers purchasers regarding
this matter is to prepare their applications for
repayment and transmit them to the land office
where their land was. purchased In that way,
should such bill finally pass those applica-
tions already on file would be acted upon as
quickly as possible.

IN FEAR OF THE BLACK PLAGUE.
Sudden Deaths in MarseiIIes Alarm
the Masses.

Marseilles, Jan. 23.-Alarm prevails here
among the masses of the population on
account Of a number of sudden deaths
which have occurred in one street. Some
ten days ago report was circulated here
that a case of bubonic plague had been
discovered. This was promptly denied by
the health officers and others but the pre-
cautions taken to guard against the intro
duction of the plague from Bombay or
Karachi to this port were Iedoubled, and
especially In the vicinity of the old and
new ports, where the maritime popula-
ton congregates.
Since the plague alarm steps have been
taken to clean the streets as much as
possible. and domicilary visits have been
made by the health officers in the most
dangerous quarters.
1t was announced that nine sudden
deaths had occurred in one street within
few days, and of course the plague was
blamed, rightly or wrongly. in every case
The health officers declare that all nine
cases were death from Infectious pneu-
monia," but the public Is far from being
satisfied.

SPANISH GARRISON CUT TO PIECES

Insurgent Chief Hernandez
Made Defeat a Rout.

Cincinnati, Jan. A.-The Commercial
Tribune special from Key West. Fla.
says:
Another defeat for the Spanish Is re-
ported from Pelanos. in the southern part
OF Havana nrov1nce. The place has a
Thousand Inhabitants, Is well fortified,
and has Spanish garrison of 600 men,
with one field piece. Lieutenant Colonel
Hernandez, in command of soc insurgent
cavalry made dash at the town Monday
afternoon while the troops were at the
church celebrating some local holiday.
Before they could form, the insurgents
had possession of the blockhouse, the can
non was trained ON the church, and be-
fore the Spanish were hardly aware of
what was the trouble solid shot came
hurting through Its walls, while cries of
Cuba Hbre" filled the air. Out they
pushed, only to fall before a deadly volley
from strong force posted behind some
neighboring houses. Colonel Muncio, the
Spanish officer, bravely rallied his men,
but as they formed for a charge he fell
with a dozen balls through him. The Sec
ond In command took his place. but he too
fell In few seconds time, the sharp
shooters of Hernandez dealing death with
a rapidtty that made the troops panic
stricken. They made one more attempt to
charge the blockhouse but Hernandez s
cavalry reserve dashed at them, sweeping
through their ranks, cutting bloody path
with their machetes. They turned, and
again they came through the crowded
ranks of the Spanish, carrying death in
their tracks, though many empty saddles
spoke of the bravery of the Spanish troops.
The Spanish then retired, 1t being a rout,
though a portion stubbornly protected
their rear, making stands until forced to
retire by Hernandez's fierce charges. At
ter pursuing them nearly to Cajaco, on
the coast, they Withdrew. They burned
the forts at Palamos. The insurgents Be-
cured 1400 stands of arms and one cannon,
$500 in gold and $4,000 in paper money
They secured valuable papers belonging to
the Spanish commissary.
