AFTER THIRTY
THREE YEARS
Fifzhugh Lee, like a Conquering
Hero Comes
BACK TO THE UNITED STATES.

This is a memorable anniver-
sary, Thirty-three years ago today
General Robert Il. Lee surrendered
to General U. S. Grant at Appomat-
tox; the army of the South laid
down its arms and the Union be-
came whole once more.
II is a remarkable coincidence
that, today, thirty-three years after
the ending of fratricidal strife,
Fitzhugh Lee, nephew of the great
commander of the Southern army.
and himself a general in the war
of the rebellion, should return to
the United States, after signal
service to his country in the dual
role of diplomat and the guar
dian OF threatened American in
terests. In the most hazardous
and difficult post that any Ameri-
can has been called upon to occupy
since the civil war, General Lee
has filed all the requirements of
the situation. He is, today, un-
doubtedly the most popular and
deservedly popular American, His
tirmness and wisdom have served
to cement indissolubly the last
link in the chain whose first link
was forged by Grant at Appomat-
tox, when he allowed the Confed-
crate officers to retain their side
arms and ordered rations for 25,OO0
men issued TO his late adversaries.

j. P. Giddings, Ed Shannon and
Jack Wear are the men, and Mrs. Ed
Shannon is the woman. Shannon had
a boarding house at Terry and one at
Central City. He stayed at night at
Terry's, leaving his wife to look after
the other place. At $3.50 Shannon re-
turned to Central City and reused
Judge Giddings. Just what happened
in the Office no one knows, but the two
men suddenly burst into the street
engaged in a death struggle. Shan
non had revolver. Jack Wear tried
to separate them and was shot through
the body, dying instantly. Shannon
then shot Giddings through the head,
killing him. He then went to his wife's
bedroom and beat her about the head
with his revolver until he thought he
had killed her, and then with fresh
revolver shot himself.

A DESPERATE ASSAULT.
spaniards Attempt to Recapture Cape
San Juan LighthOuse-Defeate
by Marines and Warships.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-The Records spe-
cial from it's war correspondent, off
San Juan, says:
A force of 500 Spanish soldiers made
desperate attempt to retake the
lighthouse on Cape San Juan early
Tuesday morning. They were re-
pulsed by heavy fire from American
warships and by gallant charge of
sailors fighting on shore. The Spanish
loss in killed and wounded was very
heavy. After the Americans gained
possession of the lighthouse recently
it was garrisoned by 40 sailors from
the monitor Amphitrite. This force
was commanded by Lieut.. Atwater.
The battle of Cape San Juan was dis
astrous for the Spaniards. One hun
dred dead bodies were strewn along
the shore where the enemy had fought
and then retreated. In the final rout
they left behind them the machine
gun and many rifles and ammunition
boxes, which were thrown away while
the Spaniards were running for their
lives. Not one American was killed,
but Cadet William III. Boardman, of
Lawrence, Mass, was so badly wound
ed that he will die. 1t was deemed
prudent to withdraw the garrison
from the lighthouse, but it still flies
the American flag and is guarded from
Spanish attacks by the guns of the
Amphitrite

WAR LEADERS NOTIFIED.
Cease Hostilities Immediately

Washington, Aug. 13.-As soon as
the peace protocol was signed the
president sent for Secretaries Alger
and Long and Gen. Corbin, and by his
direction orders to cease hostilities
forthwith were sent to Gems. Miles,
Merritt and Shafter, t o Admiral Dewey
and Sampson, and military command
ers generally.
The orders to Gen. Merritt to sus-
pend were as follows:
"Adjutant Generals Office, Washington,
Aug 70, 1S9S.-Merritt, Manila: The presi-
dent directs all military operations against
the enemy be suspended. Peace negotia-
tons are nearing completion, a protocol
having just been signed by representatives

The orders sent to Gen. Miles and
Gen. Shafter were identical with the
above save as to names. AS the order
states, further instructions will be sent
to each general. Gen. Merritt will be
directed to confer with the Spanish
commandant at Manila to carry out
the terms of the protocol, and to oc-
cupy Manila Immediately. Gen. Miles
will put himself in communication with
the chief authority in Puerto Rico for
the purpose of having Spanish forces
turn over San Juan and other points
to him preparatory to evacuation.
Owing to conditions in Cuba, the or
ders to Gen. Shafter to be sent here
after will be much different from those
to other generals.

St. Joseph, Mo-, Aug. 1.-THE in
coming Omaha flyer on the Burlington
road was held up at Dug Hill, two
miles north of here, at nine o'clock
Thursday night by five or six we'll
armed men. After securing possession
of the express car the robbers rolled
the Adams Express company's small
safe out of the car door into a wagon

abandoned their task, however, and
soon dumped the safe out upon the
highway. The safe was recovered two
hours after the hold-up, and had not
been opened, the trainmen say.
Though several shots were fired to in
timidate the trainmen, none of the pas
