Omaha, Neb., Oct. 14-General Nell
son A. Miles was the central figure in
the reception rendered to army heroes
at the exposition yesterday. The crowd
was by no means suggestive of the
supgiag gsmultitude of the day before,
but 1t far exceeded that of ordinary
occasions. Before IL o'clock the audi
torium was filled to the doors. Gen.
eral Miles entered the building a few
minutes later, escorted by President
wattles and accompanied by bis staff,
General Greedy, several members Of the
diplomatic corps, Governor Holcomb
and members Of the local reception
committee. 1900
President Wattles called the crowd
to order, and Governor Holcomb well
coined the guests of the day. The gov
ernor alluded to General Miles as the
hero of two wars. which melted tur-
moii OF cheers and handclapping' which
did not subsde until President Wattles
escorted the distinguished soldier to the
front of the platform, when the crowd
arose and greeted him with three ring
ing cheers An allusion to General
Greedy produced similar demonstra-
ton, and it was repeated when Cen
eral Miles was introduced. He said:
II am deeply gratified that the people
of the west have set aside one day of
this exposition in honor of the army
and navy of the United States. By the
army and navy I mean each of the
physical forces that has added to the
strength, the perpetuity and the
grandeur of the republic"
The speaker contended for the neces-
sity of military force commensurate
with the interests and importance of
the nation. There should be at least
one well equipped and disciplined SOL
der to every 1000 of our population, he
said. AS the nation is developed, the
army and navy should grow In proper
tion.
The Introduction of General A. w.
Greedy was followed by another hearty
demonstration. His sympathetic ref
erence to General Wheeler, who had
been expected to speak at this time,
but who was trying to do his duty in
the face of his terrible bereavement,
was heard with a silence that was an
eloquent expression of the sympathy of
the audience.
Senor Gonzales de Quesada received
a greeting that carried all the hearty
enthusiasm that had characterized
those which had been extended to the
previous speakers He declared that
the emotions that almost mastered him
at this moment were sufficient proof
that Cuba was not ungrateful. He elo-
quently pictured the desoation in Cuba,
but declared that there Is one flower |
that still blossoms, and this was the |
gratitude of the heroes of the three
generations to the people who had |
fought side by side with them to give
them liberty.
The exercises were concluded with
short address by Senator Allen. who
spoke in behalf of the veterans of the |
civil war

Ordered the Murder of One Who
Checked Her Ambition.
London, Oct. IA dispatch to the
Daily Telegraph from Shanghai says 1t
1t Is credibly reported there that Chang.
Ying-Houan, who was recently dis
missed from the tsungli-yamen and
from all his other offices and banished
to Iii, Chinese Turiestan, was murder
ed, while en- route to the place of exile,
on a secret order of the empress dow
ager.
The Pckin correspondent of The
Times says: The foreign legations have
not yet been notified by the tsung-li-
yamen that the empress dowager has
assumed the regency, which daily as
sumes more the nature Of a usurpa-
tion. There are ominous indications,
and the early death of the emperor Is
expected.
The British. German and Japanese
ministers at Pekin-according to q
special dispatch from Shanghai-have
vainly sought for week past an audi
ence of the emperor.
An official Of the tsung-li-yamen says
the emperor lies in dying condition in
a small building on a lake near the
empress dowager's palace, where no
man can penetrate.

THE WAR INVESTIGATORS.
hl9er's Report Reveals Conflict OF Au-
thority Between Miles aud Shafter.

hl0er's Report Reveals Conflict or Au.
thority Between Miles and shafter.
Washington, Oct. H.-After devoting
yesterday afterpoon to hearing the tes-
timony Of DR.. Goff. chief surgeon
Of the Third army corps stationed at
Camp Thomas, the war investigating
commission gave the remainder Of the
day to the reading of papers submit
ted by Secretary Alger with his state
ment concerning the conduct of the
war The papers include orders for the
movement Of troops, communications
to the secretary Of war from the off,
GERS in the field and from the secretary
to them, and various other documents
bearing upon the. subject Of the in
vestigation. The documents reveal the
fact that General Miles recommended
the occupation of Isle of Pines about
the time of the battle of Santiago, and
that Secretary Alger dlsapproved the
suggestion. 1t also appears that Gem
eral Miles recommended that some
point between Santiago and Porto Rico
be taken previous to the beginning Of
either campaigns. ~.~'''fs.Ss' We, S&.4lis:,
The correspondence also developed
the fact that there was an apparent
conflict of authority between Generals
Miles and Shafter at Tampa before the
Santiago campaign was inaugurated.
1t also shows that orders were issued
by the secretary Of war that in the
event that General Shafter should be
disabled by sickness or other cause the
command of the troops at Santiago
should devolve upon General Wheeler,
and upon the next In command in case
of disability of both Shafter and
Wheeler. The commission has sum-
moned Major Louis l.. Seaman, sur
geon in the first volunteer engineers,
to appear before it. He has recently
been quoted in New York as saying
that 200 men had died daily because OF
the maladministration of the quarter
masters department.
