THE POPE FRUSTRATED By THE
NEWS.
Rome, April 2.-His holiness is quite
Frustrated by the news from Manila.
He has expressed his horror at the ter
rible loss of life and repeatedly said
that he could wish TO have died before
seeing such a war.
London, Ma 3.-It appeared that
Admiral MOntejo vas taken altogether
by surprise and that the Spanish au-
thorities generally were in a state of
utter ~unreadiness. The forts were not
completed, the harbOr was not mined,
there were no search lights and the
American squadron was only sighted
after it had already passed the outer
and principal ports.
On every side in England is heard
praise Of the skill and daring displayed
by Commodore Dewey in a situation
where, if anything had miscarried, he
would AVE been caught in a most des-
perdte position. At the same time
credit is given Admiral MonteJo, VINO
had a wretched feet and stood no
chance except from the assistance ne
might receive from the forts.
The moral influence of the first great
victory is ~incalculable, and though it
is practically certain that Spain Will
not yield unit she has tried conclusions
in the Atlantic and also where n
hopes for better luck with her really
first class fghing squadron, it Is be-
lieved that a similar victory in Cuban
ton in Spain, compelling an endeavOr
to come to terms.
Paris, May IA dispatch from Mad
rid to The Temps says: mo Spanish
warships surrendered and the major
ity persisted. Two Spanish command
ers were killed while resisting to n
last moment. The Spanish losses are
estimated at 400 men killed, including
many natives. The American squad

Rio Janeiro, May 2.-Spanish gun

MANILA'S SURRENDER ORDERED.
London, May 3.-Commodore Dewey,
according to a reported dispatch from
Madrid, gave Captain General August
twenty-four hours to comply with the
ultimatum asserts that no money levy
stores and the entire stock of coal in
charge of the government officials. The
urtimatum assets hat no money levy

the government has ALREADY cabled
Captain General August authority to
comply with the demand, no other
course being open.

OMAHA EXPOSITION OPENED.
Great Civic Parade With 100 Bands oi
Music.

OMAHA SpeciaD.-Amid the music OF a
hundred bands, the cheers OF hundred
thousand people, the blasts of many
whistles and the waving of innumerable
flags. the Trans Mississippi and Interna-
tiOual Exposition was dedicated.
The great civic parade started on itt
march from the centre Of the city TO the
grounds. The Marine Band from Wash
ington led the splendid pageant and a
hundred musical organizations from the
various States Of the Middle West contrib
uted to the occasion. The parade was
three miles long, consisting of the officers
and guests Of the Exposition in carriages,
the semi-military organizations and all
the secret societies of this and adjacent
States.
One hundred thousand people had ar
rived from the surrounding cities and
States. These mingled with the citizens OF
Omaha and formed one phalanX along the
route of the parade for ten miles.
President Mckinley addressed the as
sembled multitude by long distance tee-
phone. touched the magic button and the
Exposition was dedicated.

Practical steps for the cultivation Of
sugar beets in Illinois have been taken.
The latest movement in this direction
is the offering OF premiums by the
State Board of Agriculture for the best
sample of fifteen sugar beets raised on
a patch of not less than one-quarter
acre, with certain restrictions. The
Importance Of sugar in domestic con-
sumption can be readily realized by
the statement that nearly as much
sugar as flour is used by the average
family. ANY movement which looks
toward the supplying of this constant
and enormous demand by home
grown crop is OF the first Importance.
Further, in parts of Illinois it is most
desirable to provide crop which will
renew soils exhausted by e succession
of the same products. Sugar beets
combine many advantages in their cul-
ture, and practical farmers will find it
a profitable venture to raise an expert
mental crop within reasonable limits.

a Big Engineering Feat.

A dispatch from Bismarck, n. D., says
that the east pier of the big iron bridge Of
the Northern Pacific, sixty feet in length
and weighing over 100000 pounds, was
moved from its foundation to q new posi-
ton, distance of nearly four feet. This
is the first engineering feat Of the kind
ever attempted. The work Of preparation
for moving the pier has been going on for
nearly year, but with everything ready it
took but q minute to slide it into its new
position. The engineers ayailed themselves
OF an artificial earthslide, which carried
the huge granite pile along the rollers pro-
vided to its new position.
