ARE PREPARING FOR PEACE
STEAMERS ARE GIVEN BACK.
War Is Practically Endetl-War
ships Ordered Home for Repairs
Volunteers VIII Return This
Month.

New York, Aug. IA special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Army and navy officers consider the
war practically ended so far as actual
hostiiities are concerned and that there
will be no occasion hereafter to fire a
hostile shot except in the slight resist
ance that may be offered by the Span
iards to the progress of American forces
in General Miles brilliant Puerto Rico
campaign.
The first step has already been taken
by the orders issued yesterday returning
the st. Paul and the st. Louis to New
York as soon as they could leave the
West Indies. Their guns will be taken
off at once, their naval officers detached,
including Captain Sigsbee and Captain
Goodrich, and as speedily as the vessels
can be restored to the condition they were
in when the navy acquired them, they
will be delivered to their former owner,
the American line.
The Harvard and Yale will be given
up week or so later and the navy will
then cease paying $1,000 day for these
four vessels, which, for the last few
weeks, have been used exclusively by the
army as transports. Perhaps the army
will be able to charter the vessels for
a time, or at least until the owners con-
slider it advisable to undertake the res
toration of their transatlantic voyages
1t is almost certain that the war de-
partment, if compelled to send addition
al reinforcements to Manila, will prompt
ly impress these vessels and hurry them
around to the Pacific for that purpose.
The naval authorities have also shown
their confidence in the result OF the peace
negotiations by ordering at least three

THE BUILDINGS AT OMAHA
Exposition Is Handsome and the Ar
rangement Is Artistic.

The Omaha exposition grounds are as
whole very handsome. They are di-
vided into three parts. One contains the
state buildings, the grand plaza and
Horticultural hall. This is connected by
two vaducts over the city streets with
the main court, on which are the United
States government buildings, the halls of
fine arts, liberal arts, mines and mining,
agriculture. manufactures, machinery
and electricity, girls and boys" build
ing and the Auditorium. The third sec
ton is entered from the main tract
through a handsome arch, and contains
the agricultural implement and transpor-
ation buildings, the dairy and apiary
and several individual exhibitions, the lr-
ngation show, the live stock exhibit and
the International building, consisting
mostly OF booths for the sale of souvenirs
and specimens. 1t is in this part OF the
grounds that the Midway and the amuse-
ment features are found; the log cabin
restaurant and various other small eat
ing places, more or less attractively set
forth. The main tract presents an ar
hstie effect. Upon entering, descent Is
made by broad stone steps upon the
grand court, which has a lagoon running
the whole length. Opposite the entrance
at the extreme end of the canal, stand'
me United States government building
and up and down on either side the 9th
ers already mentioned. Some OF thu
buildings are tinted an ivory white

north soon as Admiral SIMPSONS flag
ship and is expected to go into dry dock
by the middle of August.
According to the naval authorities the
prospects are that all the volunteer Off
GERS, as well as the men who care to be
relieved from naval service will be able
to return to their homes by September /.
This refers of course only to the naval
militiamen, whose places on the regular
warships will be taken by enlisted men
and released from the auxiliaries as
quickly as the latter vessels are put out
of commission.

SPANIARDS IN FULL RETREAT.
Freeing Troops Indulge in En-
cesses of Cruelty,

| Ponce. Puerto Rico, July 90. 5 p. M,
via st. Thomas, ID. w. l.. July 3l.-So
forward movement of the army is ex-
pected for several days. The transports
with General Brooke's army corps and the
remainder OF the First corps are arriving
slowly Our troops will probably remain
quiet until the bulk of the army has dis
embarked. Only three transports have
arrived since yesterday. They have lust
appeared in the offing and only one has
been out 1t has on board the Fifth Ohio
cavalry. General Miles will retain his
headquarters in the custom house in the
port OF Ponce, while General Wilson will
be in the immediate command of the
troops in the city. General Wilson post
ed General Ernest's brigade, consisting
OF the Second and Third Wisconsin and
the Sixteenth Pennsylvania regiments,
out mile and half on the military road
after dusk last night, retaining two COM
panies of the Sixteenth to act as provost
guard in the city.
Captain Allison has been appointed pro-
vost marshal and with the aid of the con-
stabulary has preserved order, although
the entire population of the city remained
in the streets celebrating the arrival of
their American liberatols until long after
midnight.
During the night all sorts of wild ru-
mors were brought in to General Wilson.
The first was that the Spanish were TO
attack the city in force.

RUss1A's PRICELESS JEWELS.
Gems Worth a Kings Ransom Elk
hibited in the Hermitage.

"A whole guide book devoted simply
to the Hermitage could give no sort OF
idea of the barbarie splendor Of its be-
longings," writes Lillian Bell of the fla
nous st. Petersburg museum Its riches
are beyond belief. Even the presents CIV
en- by the elnir of Bokhara to the car are
splendid enough to dazzle one like re-
alization of the Arabian Nights. But to
see the most valuable of oil, which are
kept in the einperor's private vaults, is
to be reduced to state Of bewilderment
bordering on idiocy. 1t is astonishing
enough, to one who has bought even one
Russian belt set with turquoise enamel,
to think of all the trappings Of horse
bit, bride, saddle-girth, saddle-cloth ana
all-made OF cloth Of gold and set in solid
turquoise enamel with the sword hilt,
scabbard, belts, and pistol handle and
holster made OF the same. Well, these
are there by the roomful. Then you come
to the private jewels, and you see all
these same accoutrements made of prec-
ious stones--one OF solid diamonds, an
other of diamonds, emeralds, topazes and
rubies."
