CUSTOMS AT SANTIAGO,

The War Department made public

Many Of our farmers who imagine
they are too poor to pay for a paper,
and who do not take papers of any
kind are with you in sentiment regard

for such reform on next election day.
We should now turn u whole at

way to consolidate all who are DISCUS,
ted with the ways of the old parties
and cease quarreling and fighting in
our own ranks, if we would win a vic.
tory in 1900. Then let US ell begin
now to get closer together, and line up
for the battle and not allow the enemy
any longer to flank US On every side

PEACE JUBILEE SPEAKERS.
Judge J. B. Stone of Missouri and
w. T. McCarty of Emporia,
Arrive

The reception for the speakers who
are to deliver addresses at the Peace
Jubilee this afternoon, which was
scheduled to take place at the Throop
hotel last evening, did not materialize
for the reason that only two of the
speakers arrived. It was sort of an
April Fool, as the crowd which gather
ed at the Rock Island depot and along
the line of march of the procession did
not know that the speakers We're not
here till some time after the hotel had
been reached.
A committee consisting of ex-senator
John Martin, Department Commander
D w. Eastman, Captain R. NJ. Spivey,
DR.. w. c. Hamilton and G. B. Payne
went to Kansas City on an afternoon
train yesterday to meet the visitors and
act as their escort to Topeka. Those
whom the committee were to meet
were Major William Warner of Mis-
souri,; James A Sexton of Illinois,
commander of the G. A. R.; Judge ].
B. Stone, of Missouri; w C P. Breck-
inrtdge, of Kentucky, and w. c. Nc
Carly, of Emporia.
Before the Rock Island train arrived
at $3.50, a big crowd had gathered in
and around the depot. MarshalFs band
and several hambeau clubs were form
ed on Kansas avenue under the COM
mand of H. L. Robinson, as grand
marshal, and three carriages were in
waiting for the speakers. AS the train
pulled in every one was on the look
out for the distinguished visitors.
The only speakers who had arrived
were Judge Stone and Major McCarty.
The committee decided that no recep-
ton could be held at the Throop and so
announced to the crowd, which quickly
dispersed, going either to the state
house or to Camp Dewey.
1.-The committee could not find Major
Warner" said Senator Martin, but he
will arrive this morning. We had
telegram from General Breckenridge
saying that he had been delayed by

not reach here till morning. General
Sexton is on the peace commission and
will not be here at all

AIR BAGS FOR HOBSON.
$4,000 Worth Sent Him From New
York

Washington, Sept. 29.-Assistant Sec
retary Allen, who has been directly in
charge of the arrangements made with
the wrecking companies, for raising
such of the Spanish warships sunk or
stranded, in the battle of July 3, as
can be recovered, said today referring
to Constructor HobsOn's work on the
Teresa, that the navy department had
given the young constructor all of the
assistance which it was possible to ex-
tend in the prosecution of his work.
Moreover, it is now proposed to give
him further aid in his effort to raise the
Colon, by far the finest ship of the
Spanish squadron. Whatever credit
has been earned by Constructor HObson
by reason of the Teresa would in the
opinion of Mr.. Allen, be largely exceed
ed if the attempt to raise the Colon re-
suits successfully.
In the case Of this ship, the young
constructor has pledged his professional
reputation against the unanimous opin-
ion of all of the expert wreckers, who
have examined the ship. Yet the navy
department is unhesitatingIy support
ing HObson's judgment, as is indicated
by the fact that yesterday it shipped
from New York $40 900 worth of special
1y manufactured rubber air bags, to be
used in lifting the Colon. Aside from
the sentimental reason for sparing no
effort to save this ship, the navy depart
ment is satisfied from the reports of the
divers who have investigated her con-
dition, that she is well worth from a
purely monetary point of view, the ex
penditure of a considerable percentage
there is reasonable prospect of raising

HIS TOMB ROBBED.
Casket and Part of Remains
Missing From Columbus

Havana, via Key West, Fla, Sept. 20
Mystery and secrecy surround all the Of

the remains of Columbus, and this fact
has caused much unfavorable comment
and given rise to grave rumorS which,
though unconfirmed, appear to have some
foundation, there has been no attempt

of the remains, which should certainly
have been a public ceremony, was yelled
in the deepest mystery and was ERECTED
behind the closed doors OF the cathedral
which was guarded by an armed force.
Few of the authorities were present. the
names of those who were to attend being
handed to the chief of police the night
before in General Blancos own handwrit-
ing. The chief of police suggested that
comments would be made by the press
upon the secrecy of the proceedings and
asked whether it would not be advisa BILE
to allow representa- lives of the newspapers
to be present To this General BiancO
positively refused to accede, telling the
chief of police to limit himself exclusively
to the list of guests which had been hand
ed him. No official account of the cere-
mony or statement regarding the condt-
tion of the remains has been made pub
lie but it has leaked out from an almost
authoritative source that they are not in
exactly the same condition as when they
were placed in the niche. When the re-

LAST NIGHTS cAMPFIRE.
Tt Was Made Up Chiefly of Story
TaITjnC

Perhaps the most enjoyable campfire
which has been held at Camp Dewey SO
far, to the old soldiers at least, was the
one held last night. 1t was a sort of an
impromptu affair and was made up
largely of story telling. They were the
kind that 'the boys who went through
the dark days of 81 to '65 love to sit
and listen to by the hour. They live
over the old days again when they used
to go out and forage and then get into
trouble over it. They recount all the
funny things they can remember and
laugh till their sides ache. Then as
some one tells a story of some brave feI-
low who was left on the field at ChicIa-
mauga or some other battle field, they
grow silent, their hearts become tender
and their eyes grow dim, while there is
a sudden epidemic in the use of hand
kerchiefs.
The campfire last night was one of
that kind. 1t was presided over by w.
B. Shockley of Leavenworth, and the
principal address was made by Captain
]. B, Fishback of Winfield. Then a
number of the veterans were called for
The story was told of a little girl who,
after she had heard her father recount
the things he had done in the war;
asked, Were you the only man in the
war, papa?' and on being told that
there were many others remarked,

them to let you put down the rebellion

father was veteran of the Mexican
war she is every inch a soldiers daugh-
ter. Miss Rose is well posted on the
history of the United States and has as
sisted in celebrating Washington's
birthday and the Fourth of July just
as they are celebrated in the United
States. Miss Rose knows the words
and can sing from memory most of the
patriotic American songs.
While in Sacramento she visited SUIT
ters' fort and saw the very place where
her father was quartered so years ago
when he Joined the throngs of gold
seekers that moved westward.
After her informal levee at Camp
Dewey Miss Rose was driven again to
the Manspeaker residence where a pri-
vate reception of the ladies of Topeka
was held. Miss Rose received the ladies
pretty canopy of American flags and to
the sides and behind her were palms.
The mantel was also banked with
palms and ferns and the doors were
curtained with large silk flags. The
chandelier was a mass of maiden hair
fern. In the hall and lobby red, white
and blue electric lights with great cius-
ters of ferns and palms to say nothing
of the profusion of American flags,
made a pretty sight.
The outside of the house is tastefully
draped in bunting and over the en-
trance a large Hawaiian flag bids well
come to the Rose of Hilo.
Miss Rose entertains another party
at dinner tonight after which she will
be driven to Garfield park where she
will be the guest of the old soldiers for
the evening.

Miss Rose Says the HOnOrs

Are Not For Her, But For Her

A WELCOME TO HAWAII
Extended by Kansas Which She
Wishes
That All Hawaii Could See and
Appreciate.

After the ordeal of last nights recep-
ton Miss Rose might be expected to be
Frustrated but she stoutly asserts that
she is feeling perfectly well and not at
all tired. Notwithstanding this Miss
Rose is suffering from a severe cold
and early this morning it was with diff
Guilty that she could speak.
She had a dainty breakfast consist
ing of rolls, coffee, lyonnaise potatoes,
steak and fruit. Miss Rose was attired
in simple morning gown of white
dinity trimmed in vaienciennes lace.
Miss Rose had her breakfast served on
a handsomely carved tabourette. She
was seated in a comfortable wicker
chair and as she slipped her coffee and
leaned back among the cushions she
did not show the fatigue of a trip of
1000 miles and of shaking hands with
twice that many thousand people. Miss
Rose was presented with an exquisite
bunch of La France roses by Florist
Hiram Hulse. She was delighted to
receive them and as she buried her face
in the frgrant mass of her favOrite
flower she said: These remind me so
of Hilo, and then she looked wistfully
out of the window.
DO you feel homesick?''
"Oh no, not a bit. 1 have been treat
ed so kindly that 1 have been made to
feel perfectly at home every minute
since I landed, but I do wish that the
people of Hawaii could witness the
hospitality and good feeling that has
been shown. I do not take all this to
be for me. That is not it. All this is to
show the feeling of the people of Kan

words the feeling that is in my heart.
I can not begin to thank the people of
Topeka and Kansas for all the kind
nesses they have shown me- can

with a pretty little shrug of the shOul
ders.
This morning Miss Rose was present
ed with a handsome silver horseshoe
made by Mr.. Arthur Massey as a token
of good luck. The following is inscribed
on the face of the shoe: Topeka,
Kansas, U. s. A, Sept. 80, 1898. Anna
Rose, K. O. The shoe rests in a. hand
some purple plush casket and is highly
priced by Miss Rose who believes in the

much as anyone. do you know she
