BY MI Brady, OF Ohio. Mr- Blaekmarr
announced that the seven Dovener men
did not want to vote. This announce
ment was cheered.
The vote by counties was a tedious
affair. Some delegations we're puzzled
whether 10 vote by districts or county
and the Marshall county crowd was
late to report, having several lively de-
bates among themselves. The question
was on adoption OF the committees re-
port, which recommended the seating OF
all Tyler county representatives pres
emit. The Marshall county brethren
were some time In getting together
While the convention was waiting on
them, dramatic Scene took place.
Several Of thG=delegates we're appeal-
ing to the chairman, when q clarion
voice rang through the hall. Standing

pal of Lincoln school. Of this city, cried:
.MF. Chairman. I've been asked to
make an announcement, Our army has
been victorious and Santiago has fall

Then everything cut loose. The band
in the gallery simultaneously struck up
''The Star spangled Banner" DeIe-
gates climbed on chairs, cheering them
selves hoarse, and hats went whiriing
through the air. The enthusiasm reign
ed for several minutes and oil business
was suspended. Three cheers for Old
Gloryw proposed By Prosecuting Attor-
ney TON" Parsons, of Moundsvllle,w
the climax.
Chairman Curtin called for. 3Iarshalps

DEATH RECORD.


Vincent Burnley, one of the pioneer leg
i~slatoTs Of Nebraska and for forty-two years
one of Omaha's foremost business men, died
yesterday afternoon at his residence, 23l2
Webster street. Mr.. Burnley had Just passed
his ciEhttcth year and had been in excel
lent health until two years ago. when his
remarkable vitality showed signs of failing.
Since then Mr.. Burnley has not been en-
gagged in business and his end yesterday
after an attack of paralysis a few days ago
was not entirely unexpected. Mr.. Burnley
came TO America from Germany in his nine
toenth year and settled first in Ohio. In
1860 he came TO Nebraska and became a
factor in the earlier development of the
state. In 1867 he was a member of the first
state legislature and later was one of the
members Of the first Board of Education in
this city. He also sat in the city council.
Mr.. Burnley later identified himself with
newspaper work and was for a number of
years in the business department of The
Bee, the Herald and the World. After his
separation from newspaper work he formed
in company with his sons, Frank j. and
Harry V. Burnley, the Burkley Printing
company. Funeral services will be held
Wednesday morning at ST. Johns Collegiate
church and interment will be at the Holy
Sepulchor cemetery.

The street cars were kept busy till 2
o'clock this morning hauling the exposition
visitors homeward. From 10 o'clock until
after l the cars were densely crowded, the
registers of many of them showing 100
fares from the grounds to Farnam street.
For a couple of hours there was some delay
in getting the cars back from down tow
to the exposition grounds on account of
the heavy traffic, but about midnight the
cars began to make the round trip more
quickly, and from then on the service was
satisfactory. From all of the exits the
crowds walked up toward the starting points
of the various lines in order to get .on and
several thousand people who wanted seats
and were willing to pay for them boarded
northbound cars and rode around the loop,
paving two fares for their ride down town.

Commodore Watson's eastern squadron away
at the earliest moment, for the double pur-
pose of striking a blow at the coast towns
Of Spain and of pursuing Admiral Camara's
fleet. which has halted at the entrance Of
the Suez canal.
Secretary Long made the official state
ment today that the fleet would sail at
the earliest possible moment. and although
he did not go into details as to its purpose,
it is well understood that it will devote its
attention to the Spanish coast and TO Ca
mara.
The destruction of the Spanish fleet at
Santiago relieves Admiral Sampson from
surveillance of this squadron and he can
readily spare the ships intended for the at
tack on the Spanish coast.
1t has been Acting Admiral Sampson for
some time, but that it will be Admiral Samp-
son in fact. as well as in name, is the pre-
vailing feeling in naval circles as a result
of the victory reported by the American ad-
miral.
The release of Hobson and the other
heroes of the Merrimac incident is likely
to be another result OF the events transpir-
ing today, 1t may now come about either
by the surrender of the city, which would
include the surrender of Hobson and other
prisoners, or else by the exchange of Hob
son for Admiral Cervera or other high
ranking naval officers.
Until today the possibility of exchanging
Hobson was slight, as this government had
no Spanish prisoners of high rank 20 offer
in his place. Now, however. it has one of
the foremost admirals of Spain, and among
the 1900 other naval prisoners there are
many officers of distinguished rank,
To exchange a Spanish admiral for an
| American constructor might seen strange
under ordinary circumstances but would
be done without any begrua GinS Ey The
authorities mere and would he particularly
appropriate in The teton of Cervtrn AT the
time Hobson surrendered - hln.
A remarkable feature of the fighting in
Cuba, and much commented upon in mill
tary circles. is the heavy loss in killed and
wounded of commissioned and r~on-commis-
stoned officers. In spite of the distress
which the loss of so many officers has oc-
casioned the army officials point to the list
as a splendid evidence of the dash anS
personal bravery of the men who wear.
shoulder straps.
Among the killed and wounded since The
fight.at Juragua have been officers of every
grade from colonel down, and in numb2rs
said to be almost Unprecedented in proper
ton to the forces engaged. The loss of Off
GERS in the two days fighting around San
tiago demonstrates to military men that the
American officers lead their men wherever
they are called upon to 90, and are setting
an example which cannot but elevate the
esprit de corps of the army.
Several messages were received by the
War department tonight from General
Shafter, but no Information concerning
their contents was made public.
When the dispatch announcing the ar
rival Of Pando and a force of 5000 men at
Santiago was exhibited at the War depart
ment, it was ascertainod that the depart
ment was already in possession of the fact,
indicating that the officials had received
confirmation of the press dispatches.

CERVERA'S DASH UNEXPECTED
Flagship il Cruising Down the Coast
and Gets in Only ut the
Finish.

NEW YORK, July 4.-The New York Her
aid has received from its correspondents at
Santiago the following details of the de-
struction of Admirai Cervera's fleet:
Three of the Spanish cruisers that were
Bottled UP in Santiago harbor and two tor
pedo boat destroyers' were pounded into
helpless hulks by the guns of Admiral Samp-
sons fleet on Sunday while making a vain
attempt TO escape from the harbor. The
vessels were beached in a last effort to save
as many lives of the crews as possible.
Admiral Cervera, on board the Cristobol
Colon, headed his fleet in the attempt to
get away, at about half past nine o'clock.
So little were the Americans expecting the
dash that the flagship New York was cruis-
ing UP the coast to the east and returned
only in time to see the finish of the fight
and TO fire a shot or two at the torpedo
boat destroyers.
7 The Iowa, Indiana, Oregon, Massachu-
sets, Texas, Brooklyn and the converted
yacht Gloucester, formerly the Corsair,
formed in position to give battle as soon as
the Colon was sighted rounding the wreck
OF the Merrimac.
The American vessels did not open fire
at once; they waited until Cervera's ships
were out OF the range of Morro's guns
before giving battle. Corvera headed to the
west, the Colon in the lead, followed by the
ViZcaya and Oquendo and the destroyers, all
firing rapidly. All of the American battle
ships opened fire at once and the Spanish
We're soon in a hurricane of shot and shell,
but the COLON kept on bravely till when
about ten miles westward of MORO castle
Admiral Ceryera turned his vessel to the
shore and beached it, 1t was blazing in Il
score Of places, but its guns kept at work
and the white flag never showed it was COM
pletely disabled, TIL oquendo and Vizcaya
were opposed to the Iowa, Texas and In
diana and went down to defeat with fearful
swiftness, covering only half the distance
made by the Colon before their captains
ran them ashore. Their crews fought with
desperate bravery, but their courage was
no match for the courage of our men,
added to their superb gunnery. The Span
ish shells went wild for the most part. but
the American gun fire was marked by merci-
less precision, The two cruisers, both on
fire, were beached not more than one-quar-
ter Of a mile apart.
The most dramatic feature of the battle
was the contest between the torpedo boat
destroyers and the Gloucester. The latter
was struck several times and is the only
American vessel reported damaged. At first
the Gloucester fired upon them with its
6-pounders, but they ran past and engaged
the battleships. Finding the fire too hot
they turned and attacked the Gloucester
again until both, destreyers were ahre and
had to be beached, Their crews threw
themselves into the surf to save their lives
just before this the New York came W
and assisted in giving the finishing blows
to the destroyers.

The great crowds of visitors that
thronged Montgomery Ward & Co.'S build

pouring from every part Of them and COW
ering the entire coast line with a mist
which could be seen for miles.
Heavy explosions of ammunition occurred
every few minutes, sending curls of dense
white smoke a hundred feet in the air, and
causing a shower of broken iron and steel
to fall in the water on every side. The
bluffs on the coast line echoed with the roar
of every explosion, and the Spanish vessels
sank deeper and deeper into the sand, or
else the rocks ground their hulls to pieces
as they rolled or pitched, forward or side
ways, with every wave that washed upon
them from the open sea.
Admiral Cervera escaped to the shore in
a boat sent by the Gloucester to the assist
ance OF the Maria Teresa, and as soon as he
touched the beach he surrendered himself
and his command to Lieutenant Morton, and
asked to be taken on board the Gloucester,
with several of his officers, including the
captain of the flagship.
The Spanish admiral, who was wounded
in the arm, was taken to the Gloucester and
was received at the gangway by it's COM
mander, Lieutenant Commander Richard
Wainwright, who grasped the hand of the
gray bearded admiral and said to him:
Il congratulate you, sir, upon having made
as gallant a fight as was ever witnessed on
the sea-"
Lieutenant Commander Wainwright then
placed his cabin at the disposal of the Span
ish officers.
At that time the Spanish flagship and four
other Spanish vessels had been aground and
burning for two hours and the only one OF
the escaping fleet which could not be seen
at this point was the Crlstobal Colon. But
half a dozen curls of smoke far down on the
western horizon showed the fate that was
awaiting it,
The Cristobal Colon was the fastest of
the Spanish ships and soon obtained a lead
over the others after leaving the harbor
and escaped the effect of the shots which
destroyed the other vessels. II steamed
away at great speed, with the Oregon, New
York, Brooklyn and several other ships In
pursuit, all of them firing constantly and
receiving fire themselves from its after guns.
There seemed no possibility whatever for
it's escape and while its fate is not definitely
known at this hour il can be readily i'm
