Senator Hoar's eagerness To- take
the negative side of the question of
expansion has not been lost upon the
Spaniards, who are now quoting the
senator from Massachusetts as proof
that the president is not supported by
the country in the demands preferred
by the American peace commissioners
at Paris. In other words, to crafty IA

SUCClNCT SUMMARY OF A
WEEKS EVENTS
Most Important Happenings Of the Past
Seven Days Briefly Mentioned-An Por-
tons of the State Covered-A Thorough
Resume of Nebraska News.
Mednesdnr. August "a.

Word has reached Neigh that John
Roesser. aged about twenty-five, was
shot and killed in Sherman township,
Antelope county. No particulars are
obtainable. ~ C coroner has gone out
to investigate.
Lincoln people last evening cele-
brated the opening Of the handsome
new passenger and freight depot
erected at Eighth and street by the
Missouri Pacific and Elkhorn roads.
Road officials and citizens made speech
es, and refreshments were served.
The official weather report issued by
the University of Nebraska shows that
the past week has been hot and dry.
with an excess of sunshine and brisk
southerly winds. The average daily
temperature excess varied from 0 de-
grees in the western counties to some
thing over Z degrees in the eastern.
The daily maximum temperatures
were about 30 degrees generally on
the last three days of the week and in
many southern counties was over
100 degrees. The rainfall has been
light and consisted of showers the
first days of the week. In most Of the
southern and in n few of the central
and northern counties the rainfall ex-
ceeded one-half of an inch and in small
areas exceeded an inch. In n consid-
cradle portion OF the state the rainfall
was less than onc-tcnth of an inch and
in many places no measurable amount
fell. The cloudless days and high
temperature of the past week have
caused corn to advance toward MATURE
ty very rapidly. In the northern
counties and in sections where the
moisture was sufficient tins has been
exceedingly favorable for corn. In
many sections the lack of moisture,
combined with the high temperature,
has caused corn to dry out and ripen
too rapidly. This will cause much
chaffy corn In the southern counties
and will quite generally reduce the
yield of corn in the southern counties.
Fall plowing has made good progress.
but the ground is getting too dry in
some counties. A little rye has been
sown. Pastures need rain.

ser and one Ludwig were out hunting
after chickens and came upon John

MISTAKE.
CAPTAIN CLARK CRITICiSES
THE ADMIRAL.


NEW York, Aug. 2I.-"Cervera
forever rather than come out the way
he did" was the remark OF Captain
Clark, lately on the battle ship Oregon.
'Thc fleet was n fortress. With his
guns he could have driven the United
States army away from the shore until
such time as IL could mount l0-inch
guns to sink his ships. He was mas
ter Of the situation, aud should have
hung on until every las, membc OF
his ships crews died Of absolute starva-
ton. Then he would have bcen n real
hero-an eternal figure in history.
Think Of the chances In his favor,
Yellow fever might have come and
decimated the American ranks. A
gale might have broken loose on the
Caribbean sea that would have scat
tered our ships TO the four winds of
heaven, after which Cervcra could
have sailed away without opposition
and returned TO his native land undc-
fcatcd."
Captain Chailc s II. Clark is now at
the Marine hospital, where he
proposes to rest for n few days until
his family shall have arrived from
Michigan. Nobody must infer Cap
tain Clark Is an invalid. lie is merely
suffering from n temporary ailment,
brought on by the low fever and long
continued sea diet.
"What are the lessons of the Santi-
ago fight?' he was asked.
First. smokcless powder; second,
no woodwork on war ships. The
Spaniards were burned up"
"What Is your opinion about the
scuttling Of the Spanish ships after
+hcir surrender
at was wrong and in violation OF
every principle of good faith on the
part of a conquered foe" replied the
captain. 1.-The men who did those
acts forfeited their right to be pro
tectcd and should have been shot then
and there. Scuttling a ship after sur
render Is treachery. | do not believe
that Admiral Ccrvern gave orders for
anything Of the kind. No, no., he is a
gentleman. Irresponsible men com
mitted the outrage"
'now did the speed Of the Spanish
ships In action compare with that
promised by their buildcrs?'
1.-The vessels certainly came out
with a rush and In Hne style" ,aid
Captain Clark. But they failed to
maintain their speed owing to the in
efficiency Of their stokers or the neg
lected condition Of their machinery.
That rush Of Cervera's was really one
Of the finest things Of history and had
the ships divided, at least one nigh,

monitory symptom, not sign that the
tlcet was coming"

supposed, for the purpose of frighten-
ing away some boys near his melon
patch. The noise the boys made WAS
in a westerly direction and he fired
in a northerly me-, thinking all the
boys were together. Three of the
boys were standing or lying quietly
in the direction of fire and the charge
took effect in the head Of Albert Par

TO CONTROL AS IN SANTIAGO.
How the President Proposes to Deal for .
Time With Cuba.

WAsHISGToN, Aug. 3e.-The instruc.
lions to the Cuban and Porto Rican
military commissions were drawn up
and approved by the President before
he left Washington and are now ready
to be delivered to the president of each
before he leaves. The instructions are
not made public, but their general
terms are known to be the same as
the instructions sent to General
Shafter regarding the government OF
Santiago, and to General Merritt re.
garding the Philippines. This will
mean that the military commission
will take control OF Cuba md Porto
Rico as the military governor now
controls that portion of Cuba surrcn-
dered TO the United States after tho
Santiago campaign. Many of the
minor details relative to the evac.
uation of the island are left
to the committee who will
refer difficult points to Washington.
There Is no longer doubt that the
United States will take full control of
Porto Rico. The instructions to the
Cuban military commission mean. that
for the present, at least, the United
States will assume the government
and control of the remainder OF tn,
island as in Santiago.
