The FIREWORKS
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE VIEW
THE GRAND DISPLAY
Probably the Finest Ever Seen in the
City-Everything Worked
Smoothly

From thirty to fifty thousand people was
the estimate placed on the crowd that
viewed the grand display of fireworks at
Agricultural park last night. AT $50
o'clock the crowd began to move In that
direction, and at $3.50 the cars Of both
street car lines were still carrying their full
capacity, in some instances the motor
car having as many as two or three trailers.
The scene at the park was little short of
wonderful. Both grand stands were
packed with humanity, and the race track
and coursng space were a veritable sea
of upturned faces, all anxious that none
of the pretty things to be seen skyward
should be missed.
The display opened with a royal salute
Of bombs, followed by a perfect shower
of mortar shells, saucissons, cobras and
rockets. The first set piece was a fiery
representation of President Mckinley,
quickly succeeded by similar likenesses of
Admiral Dewey and General Lee, the ex-
hibition of each of the pieces being the
signal for round after round of applause.
The Remember the Maine" piece, Ted
dy's Terrors.' "Our Boys, of the Seventh"
and "Hobson & Co., Bottlers," were all
enthusiastically received, but were not so
effective as they would have been at a
shorter distance, the heavy fog prevailing
making it almost impossible to read the
lettering.
The naval battle, in which two battle
ships were arrayed against each other,
and carried on vicious looking engage
ment for several minutes, set the assem-
blage wild with delight but their cheering
was but an echo to the howl of applause
that assembled when. few minutes later,
MORO castle doomed up from the darkness
and was soon surrounded by half dozen
battleships. The fleet-presumably Samp-
sons-soon knocked the very foundations
from under the Spanish stronghold and
the old place toppled over and fell, a
smoking ruin. 1t was a very good adj
vance production of what will probably
take place in reality some time this week
at the entrance of Santiago harbor.
Another excellent conception and pro-
duction was a piece in which Uncle Sam
was giving Johnny Bull friendly hand
shake. Altogether, the evenings enter
tainment, including the music of the Sew
enth Regiment band was a most enjoyable
one, and the only hardship about it was
getting to and from the park. Many peo-
pie were still on their way home an hour
and a half after the entertainment was
over,

A FRENCH AMAZON
Mrs. La Brun Encounters a Special
Officer

Mrs. La Brun of Fifth and Wall streets
was sent to the police station last night by
Special Officer Plat on a charge Of disturb
ing the peace. Mrs. La Brun proved her
self to be the hardest kind of an amazon
and she gave Plat a struggle to overcome
her. He finally put the handouts on the
woman.
Some people threw lighted firecracker
on Mrs. La Bruins from. porch, and scared
the guests of the lady but as for Mrs. La
Brun. she was not scared in the least,
merely incensed. She went after the indi-
vidual who had cast the cracker at her and
berated him in good strong words. When
Plat went to arrest her she did not at first
see her way clear tn permit the minon Of
the law to lay his hands upon her but after
he had hardcuffed her hands behind her
back she consented.

A FEW DAYS LATE
CAPT GEN. BLANCO WANTED
CERvERA REMOVED
His REQUEST Gratifed, but Not Ex-
actly in the Way He Sought
It-A Quarrel

NEW YORK, July 3.-Advices received
by the junta say: New has reached here
to the effect that Captain General Blanco
has sent a message from Havana to the
Queen Regent of Spain requesting her to
relieve Admiral Cervera from command of
the fleet in the harbor Of Santiago, and urg-
ing that he be replaced by Commodore Will
anil. General Blanco said further that he
did not believe Admiral Cervera was equal
to the Importance of his command and init
mated that If Santiago is lostto the Ameri-
can and Cuban soldiers it will be due to his
neglect to take advantage of his opportuni-
ties.
Blanco thinks that Admiral Cervera has
allowed valuable opportunities to slip by
while he has been lying in the harbor of
Santiago, and says that he should have
gone out to meet and fight the Americans
before the invading army was given an OPP
portunty to land, At the same time Blan-
cos message shows that he still believes. or
rather hopes, that Spain will be victorious
He informs the Queen Regent that dis
sensions and revolt among the police and
volunteers in Havana. due to the strict OBJ
over and the inhabitants of the city, as well
their expressions and actions.
He says that the American soldiers are
not fit to fight in Cuba, never having had
any experience in tropical climates, and the
intense heat and peculiar climate have pro-
duced much illness among them.
The Cuban soldiers he refers to very con-
temptuously, saying that no account is to
be taken Of them, and he urges the Queen
Regent to pay no attention to American re-
ports of victory in Cuba, which, he says.
are written for the sensational American
press and have no foundation in fact.
According to the message, Blanco says
that number of vessels loaded with pro-
visions from various ports have arrived, and
that there is no danger Of famine. The
American blockade of Havana, he says. Is
absolutely ineffective, and the steamers
find no difficulty in running 1t. A few of
them are captured. but the majority so far
have succeeded in landing their cargoes. AT
the same time the Queen Regent received
Information from the representatives of
South American governments in Madrid
that they could not undertake to intervene
or interfere in any way with the Spanish
American war, even to the extent of offering
their services in the matter of securing IA
vorable peace terms. Their declination is
accompanied by expression of regret, but
it is couched in such terms as to leave Spain
no hope of aid from that quarter.
The ajority of the South American gov
ernments represented in Madrid, while pre-
serving a strict neutrality. are at heart in
favor of Cuba, if not of the United States,
and would do nothing to place obstacles in
the way Of the island people and the indie
pendence which now seems assured to them
