GEN. MILES AT OMAHA
THE CENTRAL FIGURE OF THE
ARMY RECEPTION
Heroes Of the Late War Attract q
Great Crowd to the Exposition
Grounds

OMAHA, Oct. 13.-General Nelson A.
Miles was the central figure In the recep-
tion rendered to army heroes at the exposi-
ton today. The crowd was by no means
suggestive Of the surg.ng multitude Of the
day before, but 1t far exceeded that Of or
dinary occasio ons. Thousands of people
who had been unable to get into the grounds
to see the president, came out early to be
sure and see General Miles, and before II
o'clock the auditorium was filled to the
doors. General Miles entered the building
a few minutes later, escorted by President
Wattles and accompanied by his staff, Cen
eral Greeley, several members of the dip
lomatic corps, Governor Holcomb and
members of the local reception committee.
Govern or Holcomb spoke in welcome to
the guests of the day. The introduction of
General A. w. Greeley was followed by
another hearty demonstrat tion. HIS SYM
pathetic reference 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 bereavment, was heard
with a silence that was an eloquent express
sion Of the sympathy of the audience.
Senior Gonzales de Quesada received a
greeting that carried all the hearty enthu-
siam that had characterized those which
had been extended to the previous speakers.
He declared that the emotions that al
most mastered him at this moment were
sufficient proof that Cuba Is mot migrate
full.
The exercises closed with short address
by Senator Allen.

MISSION OF AMERICA
Kidd Says the United States Has Risen
to Higher Patriotism

Benjamin Kidd of London, England,
philosopher and writer on social evolution.
spoke at the vesper service at the Unfver.
sity of Chicago yesterday on America and
Her Mission" In reviewing the patriotic
acts of Americans during the war with
Spain, he declared that the people Of the
United States had been actuated by none
but high motives in fighting for Cuban lib
erty. The thinking people of England, he
said, saw In American Intervention In
Cuba only move for the cause Of humanity
and freedom, and not a shrewd move for
self-aggrandizement upon the part Of the
United States.
Mr. Kidd spoke, in part, as follows:
1T is hard for an outsider to speak Of
your country and its mission. / can only
talk from the point of view Of an English
man who sympathizes with your motives
and many of your ideals. Your people are
devoted to the ideas for which the nation
stands. The older type of patriotism al
lied itself to a time and place and to tho
people of one generation. Such so-called
patriotism has been superseded by the
higher and broader devotion to national
IDEAS which know no boundary line and no
time limit. America has risen to this higher
patriotism which concerns itself with the
future, which looks to the welfare not only
of the present 100000 of people In the
United States, but to the good OF the mil
lions of generations to come. In this re-
gard you have gone step In advance Of
the English. We had a chance to do in
America what you have done In Cuba, but
I am sorry to say the majority were afraid
to risk peace for humanity England was
afraid to interfere in America because she
thought the rest of the world would op-
pose her. America faced a similar situation
IN Cuba, and allowed her higher patriotism
for humanity to rule"
At the request of President Harper. Mr..
Kidd then spoke of the duty Of America at
the present time. He said:
1.-THE question of governing people In the
tropics Is a serious one, but one which 1t is
your duty to face. You have a duty to per-
form toward those people. I look upon the
development of democratic Institutions as
very striking phenomenon In human evo-
tuition. These institutions are not a prod
uct Of the tropics, and there may be grave
doubts as to their success in tropical coun-
tries. Hence it becomes the duty of both
England and America to act carefully and
with q. full appreciation of the Importance
Of the task they are about to perform. It is
my hope that the United States will under
take the duty of establishing herself in the
tropics, not lightly, not with great conf
dence. but seriously and with determine
tion."-Chicago Times Herald.

WAINWRIGHT REPORT
HAS NOT YET REACHED THE
NAVY DEPARTMENT
A Fake Built by a Reporter Who Used
No Conscience in His
Business

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-The publica-
ton of what was represented to be the re-
port of the Wainwright board on the parts
by the respective vessels of the United
States fleet in the destruction of Cervera's
squadron, caused considerable commotion
in the navy department.
In view of the fact that the report had
not reached Washington at the date OF pub
lication an inquiry was set on foot by the
treasury department to ascertain.' first,
whether the publications were accurate;
and, second, who was responsible for the
discourtesy involved In the publication OF
an official report before it had reached the
navy department.
Commander Wainwright, the head of the
board, arrived in Washington yesterday,
and very promptly disclaimed any knowl-
edge of the publication, stating that he had
left instructions that the report was to be
transmitted by the recorder, Lieutenant
Capehart, to the commander Of the North
Atlantic station, Captain Philip. The
commodore, in answer to an inquiry OF the
department, returned the following dis
patch, directed to Captain Crowninshield,
chief Of the navigation bureau:
"BROOKLYN, N. Y, Oct. 12-Navy De-
partment, Washington: saw report OF
Wainwright board first time tonight. Ar
ticles in papers today manufactured by a
reporter entire; no word Of semblance be-
tween the two. PHILIP
Commodore Philip has not yet trans
mitted the report to the department, but
something is known of Its general charac-
ter and this knowledge tends to show a
misconception of the functions of this
board. Admiral Sampson, who appointed
the board, chose the navigators of the ves-
sells in the feet that were engaged in the
battle of July 8. He made but one excep-
tion-in the case Of his own flagship. the
New York, refusing to nominate member.
It was directed to ascertain and report po-
sitions OF the vessels engaged in this ac-
ton. 1t did not exceed this instruction In
any point, and it's report outside of the
repetition Of instructions under which IT
was operating, comprises very little more
than a chart on which the positions of the
vessels are defined. This chart is the re-
suit of combination Of all the data OBJ
tained In the separate charts made up by
the various navigating officers of the feet.
The report is said, to be unanimous being
signed by the navigating officer of the
Brooklyn, along with the others. It
draws no conclusions. makes no deductions.
and neither takes from nor gives credit to
any officer Of the American fleet from the
admiral down,

banks reserve is lower than it has been
since April last, when a 4-per cent rate
was adopted.
The Pekin correspondent of the London
Times says: The foreign legations have
not vet been notified by the tsung II yamen
that the empress dowager has assumed the
regency, which daily assumes more the
nature Of an usurpation. There are om!n-
GUS indications that the early death of the
emperor Is expected. An official of the
tsung II yamen says the emperor Mes in a
dying condition in small building on
lake near the empress dowager's palace,
where no man can penetrate.
