ALL GUNS IN CUBA ARE OURS
War Department Puts a Stop to
the Selling Of Material.

Washington, D. c. -(special.)-It was
stated today at the war department
that the sale by the Spanish govern
ment of government property in Cuba
for the benefit of the Spanish treasury
or of the officers making the sale had
been stopped by the United States.
This practice has grown to such pro-
portions that Major General Butler in
a private letter to Secretary Alger call
ed his attention to the matter.
Expensive guns of modern type, the
valuable machinery in the government
workshops and small %gunboats We're
being sold by the Spaniards or pre-
pared for shipment back to Spain. The
matter was laid before the president by
Secretary Alger and through the
French embassy, the diplomatic chan
mel of communication with Spain, no.
tice was sent to Madrid that either
this property must be left intact or its
value in money would be collected from
Spain before the signing of the peace
treaty.
This sharp reminder to Spain of hel
obligations toward the United States
had the desired effect, and it is prom.
Used that there will be no further at.
tempts to dismOunt batteries or o re.
move government property that be,

VICTIMS OF FOREST FIRES.
Many Families Around Turtle Lake
Wis.,, Suffer From Hunger.

Milwaukee,, Wis.-(Special.)- State
Fire Warden Wyman says there are
ninety families in and about Turtle
Lake who lost everything they had in
the forest fires, and there are 102 fam
lilies besides in hat township who sus-
tanned partial losses. He says they are
living in cellars, log stables, barns and
all sorts of outhouses which escaped the
flames, and they need more than any
thing else lumber with which to build
new cabins, and provisions for the win
ter.
''The great trouble in that section
he says, is hat there is no work at
wages for the fire sufferers. Their
neighbors are all poor people, and there
is nothing at this time Of the year that
they can do. Later a few Of them
will find employment in the lumber
camps, and most of them will have tc
be assisted all winter, and it is expected
that the state will come to their res
cue"

perts in municipal improvements from
various cities in the United States and

and the response by the president of

that coincident with the advance in city
development the past few years was
witnessed the increased value of the
franchises that had been given to many
companies and which the president said
shared only a small part of the public
burdens properly belonging to them,
proportionately increased. He knew of
no reason why the companies owning
franchises should not contribute their
share to the support of the schools and
other city expenses.
The afternoon session of the conven-
ton was given over to the committee
on sewerage and sanitation and sew
eral papers on these subjects were read
and discussed.

elm gacross the continent several times
in pursuit Of Ed F. Moreland, former
postmaster at YuCan, Tex, Postoftice
Inspectors Hamilton and St. Clair ar
rived in Omaha yesterday close on the
trail of the fugitive. Moreland was
displaced from his position, and just
before he was to turn the effects Of the
office over to his successor the building
burned to the ground. 1t contained
50, 900 in stamps and cash, besides a con
siderable amount Of other property,
which presumably had been destroyed
by the flames. Suspicion was directed
toward Moreland, out before he could
be a~pprehended he disappeared from
the community. He was traced to Hot
Springs, Ark, where he Joined Mar
garet Smith, a young who was
attached to him, and left for the west.

The states which had not made appro-
priations and had not been represent
ed in the exhibits had seen their mis-
take and would be anxious to be here
next year.
Mr.. Baum said that he had given the
matter a good deal of thought for two
months and the only objection against
continuance was the sentimental objec-
ton against warming over pudding and
hanging on too long to a good thing.
Most of his out Of Town customers to
whom he had talked had said hat they
would come bac xii the show were open
another summer and friends of his in
Chicago had said to him that a great
mistake was made in not continuing
the Worlds Fair another season. Oma-
ha had been put to the front by the
exposition. The city would be talked
city through the winter n it would
be put in the front to stay by an expo
sitiOn next year.
BETTER CONDITIONS.
The buildings were there and could
be secured for a small sum-; the ground
was there; all the work that had beer
done by the various departments would
generally serve for an exposition next
summer; Is per cent of the exhibits
would remain and for every foot OF
space left there would be ten applicants
1t would be reasonable to expect {
larger attendance next year than this
no war nor bad October weather would
interfere and a comparatively small
| capital would be required.
The matter was discussed further b!
D. N. McCord, Jay Burns and again b.
Mr.. Her, Mr.. Baum and Mr.. Martin
Mr.. Her said hat Senators Allen ant
Thurston and Congressman Mercer ha
assured him that the government eX
hibit would remain here if the eNposi
ton were continued. Mr.. Burns believ
ed that a company with a capital 0
$3.50, 900 could carry out the project an'
make money and Mr.. Martin spok'
some words of caution.
1t was decided that another meeting
should be held next Tuesday night a
the same place, it being explained tina
the city council would have so littl'
business that it would hold a very brie
session, if any at all.
