SUPERB FIREWORKS DISPLAY
New York Has Never Seen a More
Dazzling Spectacle.

New York Has Never Seen More
Dazzling Spectacle.
New York, Sept. 29.--Never before in
the history of New York has this city
witnessed a greater pyrotechnic and
electrical display than that with which
the return of Admiral George Dewey
was celebrated in the harbor and waters
surrounding the island OF Manhattan
tonight.
No more picturesque spectacle has
ever been presented to so large Il con-
course gathered on both shores of the
North river as that of the great bulks
of the battleships of Dewey's feet sill
houetted against the dark background
Of the sky and shining from stem TO
stern with myriads of incardescent
lights while all around innumerable
brilliantly decorated yachts and other
river craft honored the nations hero.
One hundred thousand people saw the
illumination from Riverside Drive, near
Grants tomb.
Sir Thomas Lipton's yacht Erin was
brilliantly lighted with streamers OF
white lights and the name Erin in be-
tween the masts.
From the bay the letters on the brook-
lyn brige Welcome Dewey" were
plainly visible and were one of the fea-
lures Of the celebration, many persons
going out in the bay ON boats to see
this display.
As if to join in the popular acclaim
to the great Admiral, nature lent her
forces to the display of fireworks, for
the western sky was illuminated fire.
quently during the evening with flashes
of lightning, showers at times interrupt
ing the sky rocket proceedings, though
but slightly dampening the good nature
of some of the crowds.
There was seemingly no end to the dis
play of fireworks. Every wharf land
ing and pier had it's quota of sight-seers,
and the enthusiasm was abundant. From
the house tops as well as from the side
walks, powder by the barrel was burned
and rockets sent aloft in honor of the
hero of Manila.
Over on the Jersey shore the display
was just as generous and the sky was
lighted with the blaze of fireworks,
making the surrounding seas bright us
midday.
Brooklyn and Staten Island contribu-
ted to the general and generous burning
Of powder.

VII GOVERNMENT FOR CUBA
1t is Believed That it Will Begin Very
Shortly.

Washington, Sept. 29.-The Cabinet
had short session today, and after 60
ing over the details of the reception to
Admiral Dewey next Monday the sub
iect of a civil government for Cuba was
taken up. Tt is known that, the Presl-
dent desired to substitute civil for mill
tary rule i'm the island at the earliest
practicable moment, and it is believed
that even now he is considering the early
appointment of civil governor to take
the place of General Brooke.
Although the general question of civil
establishment for Cuba has long been in
the Presidents mind, recent events APP
pear ITO have determined him to make the
change at an early day. 1T is not
thought. however, that action is likely to
be taken before his return from the
West.

PANDEMONIUM All MEMPHIS.
Memphis, Tenn, Sept. 29.-The early
Liverpool quotations today gave Mem
phis cotton men a sensation that almost
produced pandemonium on the exchange.
Corrected quotations from Liverpool
finally restored quiet, but probably too
late to avert serious damage to country
correspondents, to whom the quotations
were sent as soon as they were received.
The directors of the Exchange adopted
a resolution declaring void all contracts
made on false quotations.

An Explanation the New Orleans Elk

New York, Sept. 29.-The Commercial
News Bureau of the Western Union
Telegraph Company has sent out the
following explanation in connection with
the suspension of the New Orleans Cot
ton Exchange:
1.-THE special Liverpool fluctuations to-
day-the movement should probably have
been made against the closing prices
of yesterday, each movement to be made
separately as they came and not to be
added collectively.
The trouble is probably caused by
misunderstanding in the manner of using
the movement.

INDIANS EAT LOCUSTS.

PASSPORT, Maine Cor. New York SUM-:
The migratory locust, which OCCASION
ally eats up the crops of Kansas and Ne
braska, is not a resident of Maine In it's
place are Two leatl1er-winged species that
commit nearly as much damage. One va
riety comes in June and stays until Oc-
tober. The other the more dreaded sort
matches out late in May and makes little
trouble until after laying, when it's new
wings are completed and it goes sailing
across the landscape under ~spinnaker and
mainsail. The farmers throw most of
their bad words at this latter species. 1t
is a russet-blown insect about three
inches long. having four legs for walk
ing purposes and two long muscular legs
which are used in leaping. 1t has four
wide and powerful wings. two inside as
soft and sheeny as Watered silk. and two
cover wings which are as tough as tam
ned sheepskin. From the hour it is
Matched until it perishes from frost or is
eaten up by one of its nan foes a Maine
locust will eat about four times it's own
weight in green stuff every day.
Just out of this city the ~Passamaquod-
dy Indians. who live on Peter Dana's
Point, preserve bushels of locusts for
| winter consumption. 1t is an old custom
which the tribe has observed for CEN
| turtles. The big locusts are caught by the
sduaws and children and plunged for q
| few minutes in hot water. so that the
! legs and wings can be pulled off easily.

from the Atlantic coast. Within a short
distance of the confluence is to be found a
series of strongly fortified villages, repre-
senting the headquarters of the Ngombi,
wherein numbers Of slaves are impris-

DEWEY'S RABBIT HUNT.

Washington correspondence of the Chi

asked a war department official today.
well, it was one of the first things l
thought of after l heard of his victory at
Manila. Several winters ago Admiral
Dewey, Captain Frank Hume, A. &. Har-
low, several other gentlemen and my
self concluded to take a rabbit hunt over
in Virginia. We had plenty of guns and
ammunition, without any rules as to
what kind of shooting should be done.
There was seven inches of snow on the
ground and we found an abundance Of
rabbits. We had a dozen or more when
Harlow shot one in it's bed. Dewey walk
ed up and said:
=" We'll. that does settle it. Any man
who would shoot a rabbit sitting in its
bed would rob his mother-in-law. Why,
Harlow, you would be drummed out Of
Vermont if you did such a thing up there
''The fellows laughed, and after a little
while we continued the hunt. Every
thing went swimmingly until about
two hours later Hume pulled down a
rabbit without giving it a chance to run
for it's life. Dewey called him down by
saying: Gentlemen, I believe in giving
everybody and everything a shoW-a
fighting chance. A mar who can't kin a
rabbit on the jump has no business with
a gun. It is taking an unfair advantage
of the little fellow to shoot him in his
bed. Let's have no more Of this kind Of
sport. Give 'em a chance, boys; give
'em a chance
THE boys then began to realize that
Dewey really meant what he had said,
and though the hunt was continued all
day no more rabbits were killed in their
