are in omaha for the purpose Of es-
tablishing a free CeIIvery route in the
country somewhere near Omaha. It
is not known yet just where the trial
route will be established, but the
agents will lock over all available
routes and decide which is the best
adapted to the purpose.
Mr.. Haupt has formerly been in Vir-
Ginia, Tennessee. Indiana and Penn
sylvaria and says that all routes es-
tablished have been satisfactory to the
patrons as well as to the department.
The first year only $40, 900 was appro-
priated for this purpose: the second
year, $4,000 was devoted to that pur-
pose and the appropriation for the
present year is S150, 600. The routes
are now in operation in almost all the
States in the Union, the only one in
Nebraska being in jefferson county.
For the most part they are established
so as to embrace one township and are
usually about t~wenty-four miles in
length. They have been established
in mountainous countries and over all
sorts Of roads the have proven sue
cessful.
MI. Haupt says that they have been
a great educator in some localities
where they formerly had but little
communication with the outer world
but under the present conditions get
papers every day and keep in touch
with the world. The quickness of de-
livery depends largely on the roads
and the weather. In many localities
the mail is carried on bicycles when
the conditions permit and this means
a route t~wenty-four miles long can be
worked in five hours. which is perhaps
hour faster than it could be done
with a horse.

is written.
The health of the fleet is excellent.
The ships need docking sadly, the Il.
diana, Iowa and New York especially.
The first named will probably require
a thorough overhauling of her ma
chinery.
The flagship New York led the feet
into port, passing the Hook at 8 a. IN.
She was followed By the Iowa and In
diana. Then came the Brooklyn and
Massachusetts, the Oregon guarding
the rear. The feet was lost sight OF
shortly after passing the Hook, a thick
haze covering the bay and ocean at the
time. The entire population of Sandy
Hook was upon the beach and clus-
tered upon the tops of the batteries of
Fort Hancock, shouting and swinging
their hats and caps. Flags and bunt-
ing were in sight everywhere. The
men on board the vessels crowded the
decks, all looking neat, dressed in
white duck or blue clothing. Signals
were made frequently from the flag
ship to the following squadron. No
salute was fired from the fort.

SKATER LACKED IN TACT.
The Rupture With Garcia Might Have
Been Avoided.

LONDON, Aug. 22.-In a letter to the
London Times, from Santiago, the
writer eXonerates the Cuban leaders
of any intention to interfere with or
intimidate Spanish residents of the
island who steer clear of politics. The
correspondent expresses fear that Gen
eral Garcia's resignation may lead to
trouble and says hat "a little more
tact on General Skaters part would
have avertcd all friction"
The Times publishes another letter
from Havana, dated July %, in which
the writer says: THE civil population
have arrived at a deliberate opinion in
favor of annexation to the United
States and probably the army will
eventually follow their example, how
eve reluctantly, while independence,
which would signify the tyranny of
the rebel party, would certainly be
followed By the fercest of civil wars.
On the other hand in the event of an
nexation the disappointed rebels would
probably turn their arms against the
Americans, and, as one of the highest
government officials told me, he would
not be surprised to see the Spaniards,
perhaps the Spanish troops, assisting
the Americans against the insurgents"

MARKS OF SPANISH SHELLS.
Paint and Wood Do Not Wholly Hide the
Scars on the Ships.


New YORK, Aug. 22.-The big ships
that passed in review show the
hard usage to which they have
been subjected. The Brooklyn's
twenty-seven holes, with the ex-
ception of those through the smoke
stack, have been patched and the
big ship reprinted and polished
till she shines. On the starboard
side can be seen a great steel patch
over the hole where one of the Viz
caya's shots went through and on
the quarterback a wooden patch
where the deck was torn up. The
armor belt still holds the print
of a large shell and a critical eye
can see the dents made by several
more, wen through the gauze of new
gray paint. The Iowa has a patch
over her bow where she was hit by a
6-inch shell. and the hole in the Indi-
anas deck has been patched. How
ever, ali the ships have been painted
and their peace trappings arranged, SO
that as reminders of the greatest ma
val battles every fought they are rath-
er disappointing.

STORMY TIMES IN STORE.
Garcia and Masso Have Opened Their
Presidential Campaign in Cuba.

Presidential Campaign in Cuba.
New York, Aug. 22-The Red D
line steamer Philadelphia, which vas
chartered by the New York and Cuba
Steamship company to carry a cargo
to Santiago de Cuba, arrived here yes
terday. She brought thirty-eight pas
sengers. When she sailed from here
she carried 125 passengers, mostly
people who desired to prospect in Gu
ba. Beaudoin-Bennett, who was q
passenger upon the Philadelphia, had
been in Cuba from the time the United
States sent its first expedition for the
relief of the Cubans from Tampa, May
II. He was at Esperanza, the seat of
the Cuban provisional government,
until last month, when he left the
island in an open boat.
In speaking of affairs 1T Esperanto
he said: There is no Disgusting the
fact that there is lots of trouble ahead
estly think that there will be lots of
riots before tranquility is restored.
The Cuban government promised to
pay the soldiers, but as there is no
fund from which to pay them, it is
sugg ested now that the new constitu-
ton make no provision for paying
them. In any event it looks as though
the government of Cuba is to see more
stormy times.
president Masso hopes to remove
the seat of government to Santiago
and afterward to Havana. He is con
fdent that the United States govern
ment will, as soon as practicable, turn
the island over TO the Cubans for self
government.
1.-The Cuban government is delighted
with the turn of affairs. Although it
has been in regular communication
with General Gomez, it has not heard
from Garcia since May. Garcia is not
on the best of terms with the govern
ment. Gomez has already come out
openly and announced that he will
allow his name to go before the
people as a candidate for the presi-
dency of the Cuban republic. General
Garcia, upon the contrary, has let his
ltlcHuS huOW tildG lie Is IL cdnCiCdI6
for the presidency. There will,
therefore, be two candidates, Pres
ident Masso and General Garcia.
General Garcia will have little
chance with the civilians, but he
stands high with the men in the army.
The Cuban constitution provides
that only those persons who are in the
army or who have served in the army
can vote. Therefore, a lot of boys 16
years of age will be allowed to vote for
Garcia, whereas men who have not
been in the army, but who prefer the
con ~servatism of Masso, cannot vote for
him. The next Cuban election will be
held just as soon as the seat of govern
ment can get into town to conduct an
election. The present Cuban govern
ment, according to the constitution,
should be dissolved upon the evacua-
ton of the island by the Spanish
government, and a new election must
be held to elect officers, who will
frame a new constitution.

IMPORTANT TO EVERY HHfTE VOTER.

In several counties in the second
congressional district there is a large
negro registration, and it is import
ant that the white men of Terrell cOun-
to turn out on the second Tuesday in
November and give Congressman
Griggs such majority as will over
come possible republican majorities in
other counties.
There are nearly 800 registered ne
gro voters in this county, and they
will vote largely for Smith, the negro
candidate. There are nearly 1900
whites registered, but not more than
600 voted in the state and county
election. If all of those who are reg
istered go to the polls and do their
duty the negro candidate will hardly
be known in the contest, so great
will be the democratic majority. If,
on the other hand, many of the white
voters, feeling certain of Judge
Griggs' election, remain at home there
is danger not only OF rldlculously
small democratic majority but a ma
jority for the negro.
We are speaking candidly. The facts
support the declaration that democrat
ic apathy means possible republican
success in this county. We know that
1t is only necessary for the people to
be made aware of the danger to avert
