NO MONEY FOR CAR FARES
RcGucs of Temporary inspectors of
Customs ut the Exposition is
Denied.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-Some time ago some temporary
inspector of customs at the Transmississippi
Exposition filed u request with Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Howell, asking
that a certain amount of money over and
above their salaries be appropriated for
street car fares and luncheons in view of the
e~Xacting nature Of their work, long hours
and distance from the custom house. AS
sistant Secretary Howell, upon the request
of Senator Thurston, referred the entire
matter to an inspector stationed at Chi
cago, who has now made a report against
allowing it, upon what grounds Secretary
Howell fails to state in his letter to Sen
ator Thurston.
Secretary Cox of the Board of Govern
ment Control of the Transmississippi En-
position, who returned from Omaha early
this week. states that there will be a meet
ing of the full board at the Agricultural
department next Tuesday. The question of
the allotment of funds and terminal charges
will be taken up in addition to routine
matters. Mr.. Cox Is enthusiastic over the
exposition and believes that August. Sep
TENDER and October will be the three big
months for the big fair. He unhesitatingly
pronounCes the architectural designs of the
buildings and their symmetrical grouping
about the lagoon dTllSIlC III tne highest ue-
gree and worthy of the highest praise.
The Indian commissioner has received a
protest from Red Cloud, Raymond Smith
and other Indians at Pine Ridge,
S. D., to the project OF con-
structing a wire fence along the
northern and western border of the reser-
walton. The protest is endorsed by Sena-
tor Pettigrew and severely arraigns Major
Clapp and Inspector Mclaughlin. The In
dams assert that to take money for the
construction of the fence from the funds
to their credit in the treasury would be
a violation Of treaty rights. 1t is init
mated here that the reds who signed the
petition were prompted to do so by inter
ested parties. The Indian commissioner is
much surprised at the objection to the fence,
as the matter was voted upon by the In.
dams and almost to a man they favored the
project. An inspector will probably be de-
tailed to make a thorough investigation of
the question.
The Indian commissioner today made al
lowances to be expended for medical at
tendance at the Indian schools as follows:
Omaha. $500; Pierre, S. D., $500; Rapid

REPORT FROM THE INDIANA

EntrRnce-sent Back To Guard
that Point.

UNITED STATES SHIP INDIANA, FIRST
RATE, F SANTIAGO, July 4. 1S9S.-The
Commander-in-chief United States Naval
Forces, North Atlantic Station,-Sir: |
have the honor to submit the following re-
port of the operations of the Indiana In the
action of July B., with the Spanish squadron
off Santiago de Cuba.
2. At 1887 a. m, while the crew were at
quarters preliminary to general muster,
noted two guns fired from the Iowa and
general signal 'Enemy's ships escaping"
flying. AT once cleared ship for action and
the crew were at the guns in a remarkably
short time, all officers and men showing
an alacrity that indicated clearly their pleas
ure at the opportunity offered for them.
3. The Spanish squadron was seen emery
ing from the harboT, and in a few moments
a general action ensued. The leading ship,
which proved TO be the Infanta Maria Teresa
dying the flag OF Vice Admiral Ceryera, was
followed by the other vessels of the squadron
as follows: Vizcaya, Cristobal Colon, Oqu-
endo and the torpedo boat destroyers Furor
and Pluton. The enemy's vessels headed to
the westward and our ships headed in the
same direction, keeping as nearly abreast
of them as possible.
4, This ship fred on all of them as they
came out one by one, and continued the ac-
ton later by firing principally on the Maria
Teresa, Oquendo, Furor and Pluton, Several
OF our shells were seen to take effect on
these vessels. Our secondary battery guns
were directed pflnclpally on the destroyerS
as also were the six-inch guns. The de-
stroyers were sunk through the agency of
our guns and those of the Gloucester, which
vessel had come up and engaged them close
aboard.
5. The initial fire OF the last two ships
was directed at this vessel, and although
falling very close, only struck the ship
twice, without any injury TO ship or crew.
9. our ranges were obtained by angles
on MORO as the ships emerged and then by
angles on the tops of the rear ships. The
ranges were from 4,500 TO 5000 yards, OBJ
served from the top, From the bridge |
could see that our shooting was excellent
and showed its effects. One of our l3-inGh
shells was seen TO enter the Maria Teresa
under the quarter deck and explode, and
that ship was observed on fire very shortly
afterward.
7. About 1918 a, M. observed the Maria
Teresa and Oquendo on fire and heading for
the beach. the fire from their guns having
ceased, We then devoted special attention
TO prevent the escape .: .ac destroyers,
which appeared more than a match for the
Gloucester, IT being the only small vessel
near to engage them. They were soon seen
20 bl, up, apparently struck by our 6-inch
and 6-pounders. We now fired our large
range, 1t made for the shore soon after, on
IRE, and its battery was silenced. These
ships hauled down their colors as they made
for the beach. The Spanish flagship hoisted
the white flag as 1t grounded.
s. We now ceased firing. The Colon was
