The long-sought-for and much de-
sired mascot has at last been procured,
in the form of a pure white bulldog.
The dog was today christened Utah"
with due ceremony. 1t was procured
by the members of Section six, after
spending two days in searching for its
owner. Permission was obtained from
the captain to use a mascot ard bring
il into camp. They have detailed Cor

and have raised q fund to feed him on,

1t a beauty, and says it is full of life.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Mckinley Acknowledges the Great
ness of the West.

Washington, June President Nc
Kinley today formally opened the
Trans Mississippi and international ex-
position at Omaha, Neb., by touching
an electric button at 1850 o'clock, in
the telegraph room of the White House.
4 few minutes before l o'clock the
president sent out the following tele-
gram of congratulation to the president
OF the exposition, Mr.. G.. w. Wattles:
Hon. Guerdon w. Wattles, President
Trans Mississippi and International
Exposition, Omaha, Neb:
The cordiality of the invitation eX-
tended to me to be present at the open
ing of your great exposition is deeply
appreciated, and I more deeply regret
that public duties prevent me from
leaving the capital at this time.
The events of the memorable half
century which the Trans Mississippi
and International exposition commemo-
rates are interviewer with the history of
the whole nation and are of SURPRISING
Importance. The mighty west affords
most striking evidences of the splendid
achievements and possibilities of our
people. 1t is a matchless tribute to the
energy and endurance of the pioneer,
while its vast agricultural development,
it's progress in manufactures, its adj
vancement in the arts and sciences and
in all departments of education and en-
deavor have been inestimable contribu-
lions to the civilization and wealth of
the world.
Nowhere have the unconquerab BILE de-
termination, self-reliant strength and
sturdy manhood of our American citi-
zenship been more forcibly illustrated.
In peace or war the men and women of
the west have ever been in the van
guard.
Il congratulate the management upon
it's magnificent enterprise, and assure
all who participate in this undertaking
of the deep interest which the govern
ment has in its success.
WILLIAM M'KINLEY."
The ceremonies at the White House
were brief, and were conducted with
little formaility. The members of the
Nebraska delegation in congress-, ac-
companied by the ladies of their fam
lilies, assembled at the White House and
were presented to the president by Rep
resentative Mercer. Some Difficulty
was encountered in getting a clear wire
to Omaha, but at 80 o'clock everything
was in readiness and the president,
stepping TO the instrument. pressed the
button which set in motion the eXposi-
ton machinery about 1,50O miles away.

AN IMPROBABLE STORY.
Says the Wasp Found Spanish Cruiser
In Cienfueros Harbor

New York, June IA dispatch to the
World from Key West says: The con-
verted yacht Wasp was doing scout
duty off Cienfuegos last Wednesday
night From the outside of the harbor
the Wasp could see several topmasts
sticking up just inside of MORO castle.
They looked like Spanish ships. and
the commander of the Wasp deter
mined to investigate
Under full speed the Wasp entered
the harbor and went within two miles
of the city wharves. Here il was proved
that the conjecture had been correct.
for sure enough the topmasts belonged
to three Spanish cruisers.
The Wasp's officers are sure the cruis-
ers are part of Cerveras fleet.
Why they did not fire on the little
American warship and blow her out of
the water is a mystery; but they did
not, and the Wasp turned and steamed
back out of the harbor.

of transports for dispatch to Manila.
The work on the steamers Zealandia,
Colon and China Is progressing more

General Merritt. but unless larger
forces of men are put to work on the
vessels, they cannot possibly be ready

Cleveland was inspected today. and the
ship Roanoke was. also examined. The
Roanoke is a four-masted vessel of
