BRYAN TALKS TO THE SOUTH
DEMONSTRATION IN THE NE
BRASKA CoLoNEL's HONOR.
Said the Sectional Question Was
Buried By the Present War and
the Dixie Line Wiped Out.

Nashville. Tenn, July 20.-Several hun
dred members of the Third Nebraska reg
iment. commanded by Colonel William j.
Bryan. arrived here today and were met
at the depot by large crowd. They We're
entertained at lunch and soon afterward
proceeded on their way to Atlanta, Ga.
Colonel Bryan. with the remainder of the
regiment, arrived this afternoon and was
given a very enthusiastic reception. All
of the soldiers were provided with box
lunches and presented with flowers.
Hon. Benton McMillin presented Colonel
Bryan to the large and enthusiastic audi
ence of men and women, who greeted him
with cheers Colonel Bryan then spoke in
part as follows:
I'VE do not know what may be the re-
buit of this war. War often brings results
which were not imagined in the beginning
but one result has already been ach.eveu
during this war. II there was anybody
in the United States who doubted the
loyalty CT the people of the south, there
Will be no such doubts hereafter. Gap

IMMUNEs FOR SKATER.
Badly Needed For Police Duty at
Santiago.

Washington, July 2O.-The war de-
partment today was doing its best to
hurry forward the immune regiments
General Shafter has urgently required,
and it is hoped they will be gotten off
within "a hours. The immuneS are
wanted by General Shafter TO serve as
military pickets for the city of Santa
go proper, thus obviating the necessity
of retaining within the zone men who
are not immunes of the United States
army.
The department is under obligations
not to place aboard the steamships
that are to be used for the conveyance
of the Spanish troops any soldiers hav-
ing yellow fever, so it probably will be
necessary to place the surrendered
camp under very rigid sanitary rules
and to sift out carefully all persons
showing the fainteSt symptoms Of dis
ease. When the others have been iso-
lated for a sufficient time to make sure
that they have not contracted the
fever, they will be ready to go aboard
ship, but it can be readily seen that
the adoption of these precautions in
wolves considerable delay in the return
of the Spanish troops to Spain and it
is doubtful if this ever can be made
within a month. This delay is I'M
fortunate in view of the possibility Of
trouble ensuing with the presence Of
the two armies as well as the Cubans
at Santiago, but as the Spanish officers
have been or will be paroled ii is pre-
sumed they will use their influence
among the enlisted men to prevent any
friction

Madrid, July 19.-General Parreja, the
refuses to be included in the ''capitula-
ton" of Santiago de Cuba. According
to Spanish military law a commander
can surrender the troops which he per-
sonally commands, but he cannot oblige
other commanders at distant points,
even though under his authority, to fol-
low suit. Consequently, it is held here
that the capitalization" only comprises
about 1000 troops actually at Santi-
ago.
Madrid, July 2O.-A semi official note
has been published here, explaining the
surrender of Santiago de Cuba.
1t declares that the letter which
General TOral is alleged to have writ
ten to General Shafter." is apOcryphal,
las the telegraph version" contains a
statement which it is impossible for
General Toral to have made, be-
cause it is untrue that his government
authorized him to capitulate.
The note continues: What happened
was the war minister received two tele-
grams from Captain General Blanco.
The first described General TOraIs pO-
sitiOn. which was most pitiable because
of the want of provisions and ammu-
milton. 1t also detailed the enemy's
proposals
In the second telegram Captain
General BlancO gave the terms of the
capitulation and requested Instructions.
The war minister replied to both by
telling Captain General, Blanco to leave
every initiative to General TOral. for it
was impossible to recommend any other
line of conduct. General Toral accord
ingly acted as he thought advisable,
and will explain before a courtmartiaI
the motives which caused him to capit-
ulate.'
The military code prescribes life i'm
prisonment for any officer who includes
in the capitulation of his forces other
posts, which, though dependent upon
his command, are not troops or places
included in the action which caused the
capitulation.''
1t is doubtful. however. whether Gen.
eral Toral will be thus punished.
The government has received a dis
patch from Captain General Blanco,
in which he announced that ne has not
the capitulation of Santiago
de Cuba, and asserting that the place
was surrendered without his knowl-
edge. AS a result General TOral will
be vigorously tried by courtmartial.

Resign.

Chickamauga, July 2O.-Major Lorigan.
whose resignation as major of the Second
battalion. Ninth New York. has been ac-
cepted, has left for New York City. Major
Lorigan's resignation grew out of his OPP
position to Colonel Green for the cOlonecy
of the regiment. After Major Lorigan
had filed his resignation he reconsidered
and wished to withdraw it. but was in
formed by Colonel Green that this could
not be done.
The matter had begun to assume a gen.
eral proportion by this time, Major Lori
gan's resignation being accompanied by
that of Captain John d. Walton. COM
pany d. Since that time the designations
of Captain Byrd. company F; Captain
Thompkins. company B; First Lieutenant
Leon Brady. company B. and First Lieu
tenant Winter, company c. have been
filed through sympathy. Colonel Green
refuses to discuss the matter or to speak
of the probable successors of the officers
who have resigned.

For Haste, and Spanish Public Is
Indiferent-No Action Taken.

New York, July ga London dispatch
to the Journal says:
Sir Henry Drummond Wolff, British am
bassador at Madrid, has been fully In
formed of the terms upon which the Unit
ed States government is ready to make
peace.
London. July 2o-Neither the officials of
the Spanish embassy. those OF the Brit
ism foreign office nor the United States
news tending to confirm the report cir
eulated in the United States that the
spanish cabinet has decided to sue for
peace. On the other hand. dispatches
received here from Madrid late this aft
ernoon make no mention of such a deter
mination on the part of the Spanish min
istry. The decline in Spanish As in Paris
and London is another reason for discred-
iting the report.
A special dispatch from Madrid says:
me powers are exchanSlng notes regard
ing the coming of Commodore Watson
and the progress made thus far is salts
factory to Spain.
from Madrid that Sir Drummond Wolff.
the British ambassador there. has been
informed of the peace terms, is in line
with similar statement made about two
weeks ago, when the British ambassador
here. Sir Julian Pauncefote. was about to
leave for Pequot. Conn. At that time Sir
Julian stated that If any negotiations had
proceeded from Sir DrummOnd Wolff they
had not been known to him. and that.
moreover, he, Sir Julian, had not dis
cuSsed the subject OF peace with any Of
fetal of the United States government.
Since then the ambassador has bees alb
sent, and the embassy itself with the en-
tire staff is established for the summer
at PeCuot.
NO NEGOTIATIONS.
Madrid. July administers show abso-
lutte reserve on the question of peace. 1t
is certain that until yesterday no nego-
tiations were opened Nevertheless pub
lie opinion favors peace.
The captain general of Madrid has pro-
Inhibited meeting of officers, called TO
examine new projectiie. Orders have
been issued to close the Carlist club.
Madrid July 2G.-The minister for war.
General Correa, categOrically denies that
Captain General Blanco has resigned. He
adds that there is absolutely no news
from Cuba, "as the Americans control the
wires and refuse to transmit official dis
patches"
London. July 2l.-The Madrid correspon-
dent of the Times says: Nothing is known
the peace question. Apparently the gov
eminent does not recognize the necessity
of making peace quickly. and the public
seems to be Indifferent.
Some newspapers complain that the up
per classes are removing to their usual
summer quarters and that the lower or
ders are amusing themselves with bull
fights and such entertainments as belong
to ordinarily peaceful times.
Probably ministers disagree regarding
peace. but they are unanimous in dis
responsibility for General Torars
surrender at Santiago.

BLANCO SEALED UP.
Now Unable to Communicate With
His Government.

Washington. July 2O.-Two days ago
General A. w. Greedy. chief signal Off
Ger. cabled instructions to his officers
in Santiago to seal w and place a
guard over the three cable lines con-
Meeting Santiago with Cienfuegos,
whence, by land line, communication
is established to Havana. Today Cen
eral Greedy was informed that his or
ders had been carried into effect.
The closing of the Cienfuegos cables
absolutely isolates Havana and General
Blanco from Madrid. Blanco's only
means of communicating with the Ma
drid government now is by the Key
West cable. which is under the strictest
censorship by the government of the
United States.
As a result of the sealing of the San
tiago- Cienfuegos cables, several cipher
dispatches passing between General
Blanco and the Spanish government
drifted into this country today. 1t is
scarcely necessary to say that they did
not reach their destination.

trolled By Prejudice.
Especial to The Herald.)

especial 10 Inc fterdlQ.)
Boise, Ida, July 20.-The board of
pardons today practically reached a
conclusion to pardon Frank Armstrong,
who was sent to the penitentiary for
life in 1887 for killing Paul CluDert in
what was then Alturas county. Arm
strong was then but II years old. He
claimed he shot in self-defense. There
was no witness TO the crime, but the
circumstances tended to corroborate
Armstrong; plea The judge who SEN
fenced him and the jurors in the case
have petitioned for his pardon on the
ground that the crime was nothing
more than manslaughter, prejudice con-
trolling the jury at the time of the
trial. The board held the matter over
until October. in order to secure COM
pliance with a technical provision of
the law. Armstrong will doubtless be
liberated then. He is now rs years
old

Baltimore, July 2O.-The annual state
convention of the Prohibitionist party
met at Prohibition park, Glyndon, to-

The platform adopted. after reciting
the usual evils of the liquor traffic, has
this 10 say relative to the army can

I'VE believe that the so-called army
canteen, as an adjunct to military
camps. is one of the most dangerous
and destructive phases of the great
curse of strong drink. and should be
prohibited by the United States"
Hon. John lowering, candidate for
president in the last campaign on the
dry ticket. addressed the convention
on the evils of the canteen and recount
ed his experience in recent visits to the
president and certain generals of the
army in an effort to have il abolished.
