FOR STATE FAIR CROWDS.
Plenty of Entertainment to Keen
Visitors Amused.

The programme Of amusement for the
crowds that will attend the state fair this
year was the object of solicitude with the
State Agricultural society at its meeting yes
terday.
The only matter which was definitely de-
cided upon was that the opening Monday
should be celebrated by a cycle meet upon
g. scale that will outstrip anything of former
his plans, which include prizes that will as
sure an unprecedented assemblage of North
western cracks.
The directors felt that 1t might be best to
ask some club, which has had experience in
the management of cycle meets, to take
charge of the contests and the Laurel Cycle
club was mentioned their probable choice.
In other lines Of amusement Mr.. Randall
has received communications from many
a very novel entertainment in the way of
day light fireworks, which have lately been
attracting much attention. II they are all
that is claimed for them a large contract will
be let.
Everybody remembers the interest that was
aroused last year by the single heats run by
Marion Mills and Happy Jack. This year
Kantucky man proposes to race five trained
horses which run without driver or bride.
Secretary Randall was instructed to investi-
gate the claims made for the aggregation, and
If he is satisfied to their success as an
attraction they will be engaged
In addition to these features there will be
balloon ascension every day that the
weather permits. The balloon programme will
also be much more respondent in novelties

afternoon and evening.

GEN. MILES INF ENTIONS.
Will Prepare the Way for the Land
ing of Troops.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-It is re-
garded as certain by the officers of the
war department that Gen. Miles and
the contingent of the Porto Riean eX-
petition are now en- route from San
tiago to the point in Porto Rico, where
landing is to be effected.
Secretary Alger said this evening
that he hoped and expected Gen. Miles
with his forces from Cuba would get
away tonight.
At o'clock tonight Gen. Miles was
still in Cuban waters, but so far as the
war officials here ale informed, the van
guard of the Porto Rican expedition
was finally prepared to leave.
The war department exchanged sew
eral cable dispatches with Gen. Miles
during the afternoon and early even
ing regarding the details of the eX-
petition, but in none of his dispatches
did the general indIcare the precise
hour of his departure. The impression
conveyed is that he was awaiting the
naval vessels, which are to act as con-
vOyS.
1t is stated definitely that Gen. Miles
has no intention to await the arrival
of the several parts of the expedition
from the United States before moving
upon. Porto Rico. 1t is expected, in
fact. that his purpose is with such
troops as he now has, to break ground
on the island for the forces that will
arrive later from this country.
His landing will be effected. if neces-
sary, under the guns of the vessels Of
the navy. 1t is not anticipated that
serious resistance will be encountered,
as the Spanish force on the entire ISL
ard is only slightly larger than the
force which accompanies Gen. Miles.
Arrangements fer the departure Of
the troops from this country, which are
to comprise the greater part of the ex-
petition, are being pressed with the
utmost vigor. Difficulty is being ex-
perienced in securing proper transports,
but that in measure las been over
come. Within a day or two 10000 men,
it is said, will be af1oat for Porto Rico,
and the remainder Of the expedition
will be sent forward as rapidly as pos
sible.
This afternoon and evening the COM
missary department of the army was
engaged in making preparations for the
subsistence Of the Porto Riean eXpedi-
ton. 1t is an enormous task and Gen.
Eagan, the commissary general, is still
busily engaged in perfecting his plans

ALI QUIET At MANILA.
Stories of German Interference Dis
credited by the Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Nothing Of
Importance came before today's cabinet
meeting, one of the members remark
ing that an adjournment might have
been taken at the end of the. fifteen
minutes, so far as the transaction OF
business was concerned. A dispatch
from Admiral Dewey was read stating
that there was no change in the sit
uation there. 1t was the opinion of
members of the cabinet that the report
OF strained relations between Admiral
Dewey and the German admiral is
without any foundation in fact. This
is indicated by the fact that Admiral
Dewey's dispatch was taken to Hong
Kong by German war ship. Both the
president ard Secretary Day are said
to have assured the cabinet members
that nothing Of an aggravating nature
had occurred at Manila between the
American and German forces, and
their remarks gave rise to the belief
that the president has received fresh
assurances from Germany of her in
tertions to adhere strictly to her policy
of neutrality.
Secretary Alger said after the cabinet
meeting, that Gen. Miles had expected
to start for Porto Rico yesterday, but
had been unable to get away. He
would start today the secretary
thought. 1t was said that the cam
paign against San Juan will be con-
Quoted with much caution and the rush
of events at Baiquiri will not be re-
peated. The forward movement, it is
said, will not be begun until force
superior to the Spaniards, at every
point, has been landed and furn shed
supplies sufficient to meet all possible
requirements. Great care and delibera-
ton will characterize ali movements,
with View to avoiding TIE hardships
that befeil the Santiago expedition.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 19.-The
transport steamer Pennsylvania sailed

COUNTY ROADS AND BRIDGES
THE ASSISTANCE FURNISHED
BY THE STATE
Names of the Counties and the
Amount Each Has Drawn Under
the Provisions of the Omnibus
Bill of the Last LegisIature--
Statement Has Just Been Pre-
pared by the State Auditor.

State Auditor Dunn has just COM
pleted a statement Of the amounts
paid out during the year in assisting
counties and towns throughout the
state in building roads and bridges. as
provided for by the passage of the
omnibus road and bridge bill, at the
last session of the legislature. For
some time past the internal improve
ment fund has been exhausted and the
state has been unable to assist more
than half the towns and counties re-
ceiving appropriations from the state.
Quite a large sum of the internal i'm
provement fund will become available
after Aug. /. at which time part Of
the appropriations still due will be
paid. In quite number of cases
bridges and roads have been construct
ed and paid for by the county on the
strength Of an early payment by the
state Of the amounts due. These couc-
ties will be first served and payments
will be made from the first of August
until some time in the fall. when. it is
expected, that the states liability to all
counties on the road and bridge appro-
priation will be finally settled up
AS a rule the state appropriation has
been contingent upon an appropriation
from the county, which has resulted in
considerable pains being taken by the
county authorities in the construction
of Internal improvements as a portion
of the cost came out of the county
fund. The list of bridges and roads
built this year includes the largest
number in the northern counties, as
the tide of immigration during the last
three or four years has resulted in fast
settling UP some of the more northern
counties with first-class lot of set
tiers who have at the outset taken
an active interest in improving their
surroundings. in many cases construct
ing roads themselves. The states as
sistance to these counties Is especially

pended Will bring back into the state
treasury a largely increased revenue.

PHYSICAL DISABILITIES.

WASHINGTON. July 19.-Informa-
ton has reached the war department
that Notwithstanding the medical ex-
animation prior to this, men have been
enlisted into the volunteer army who
should have been rejected as unfit for
military service. The adjutant general
has issued an order directing systema-
tic examinations, with a view to elimi-
mating such men from the Organization
by medical officers.
A beard of medical officers, the order
says, should be appointed in each di-
vision to carefully examine and make
recommendations in each Of the cases
submitted by individual or reg.mental
medical officers. In every case where
discharge from service is recommended
it should be ssen that the certificates
of disability embody a statement to the
effect that the causes Of the disuualif-
cation for the military service existed

NEW YORK, July 19.-Dr. Lincoln

to establish temporary military or

such arrangement is necessary, and
they do not expect the United State:
to turn the island Of Cuba over to them
or any part Of it for their self-soyern-
ment until the island is entirely under
American control, and then only after
full provision is made for a permanent
stable government. The Cubans do re-
