BUT THE BAND PLAYED
Protest of Spanish Minister at City
of Mexico.

Las Vegas, y. NJ, June Ex-Governor
Roosevelt was given a royal speeding
at 1:3O o'clock this morning on his de-
parture for New York City. Roosevelt
and party were accompanied to their
car by prominent citizens of the south
west, among whom were Governor
Ootero of New Mexico and Governor
Murphy of Arizona
The mail train to which the special
car was attached was a half hour late.
Roosevelts appearance on the car plat
form was the signal for enthusiastic
cheering by the large crowd that mad
assembled. In fact, wherever he APP
peared during his stay here the enthu-
siasm was almost unbounded. When
the train finally pulled out of the depot
on its journey northward and eastward,
the band struck up the strains of "A
Hot Time the crowd cheered, and
Roosevelt bid farewell to those who
had delighted to do him honor.
During his stay here Roosevelt re-
fused TO talk for publication on mat
tiers of the day, such as the application
of General Otis for reinforcements in
the Philippines He stated: Il refuse
absolutely TO give a word OIL an inter-
view to anyone"
Although Colonel Roosevelt had de-
parted on his eastward journey, the en-
thusiasm of his rough riders continued
undated today. The rough riders and
citizens parade took place at l o'clock,
under the command of NJ. II. l,lburger.
It was upwards of mile i'll length,
with a band of music heading each of
the four divisions.
The line of march was nearly three
miles long, and was crowded with peo-
pie for the entire way. The marching
rough riders were enthusiastically
cheered ali the way.
One of the most interesting and
unique features of the reunion was a
reception rendered to Governor Roose-
Welt at the Hotel Castanede by the
Mexican people of the territory just be-
fore his departure The most influen-
tial and leading people waited upon the
noted New Yorker.
Felix Martinez of this city made the
address of welcome, during the course
of which he made a rather sensational
statement to the effect that he had been
informed that the Spanish minister at
the City of Mexico, privately but SER
iously, objected to the visit of the Chi
huahua band to Las Vegas. The objec-
ton was based on the assumption that
the act of permitting the band to visit
this country and assist in celebrating a
victory over Spanish arms could not
at least be considered friendly atti-
tude toward the vanquished nation
The Spanish minister waited upon
President Diaz in an informal way and
slater his objections. President Diaz
was not of the same opinion. however,
and allowed the band to come to Las
Vegas

HOW SHE KILLED ALEOPARD.
The Trophies of the Only Woman

New York Herald.)


There passed through New York the
other day. en- route to her home in Gin
cinnati, an notwithstanding young wo-
mcn with a trunkful of trophies of her
ability as a hunter of big game. Three
tenanted cages also bore testimony to her
prowess as huntress. The wife of
Thomas Lindsey, a mining engineer her
steady aim has won her honor d rifle
shot in the contests in which she has par
ticipated under the pseudonym of wan
da and now she mas the added honor
of being the first white woman to oene-
trate the Guiana jungle. \ leopard skin,
the tusks, paws and brushes OF other big
game and the skins of snakes which she
has brought home tell a story in them
selves. The live trophies she has are a
Young ape, a still younger Sloth and 4
wild parrot. How Mrs. Lindslev became
a hunter of big game is thus told by her
self:
In Surinam, Dutch Guiana, you must
know if an Indian or 'bush-nigger'

RATE WAR.
Eastern Ports Are Arrayed Against
Southern Ports

Southern Ports.
Concerning the rate war now on east
of the Missouri river, the Omaha Bee
says:
War on freight rates seems to be on
in earnest, and while local freight men
profess to believe the strife viii be
short-lived, a big cut has been made,
at least for the time, being. The reduc-
ton is entirely for those shipments
which are made part by water and part
by rail. The contending parties are the
lines connecting with the steamers
plying from New York, Philadelphia
and Boston to Norfolk and Newport
News. and from the same points to New
Orleans and Galveston. In other words,
it is the eastern ports against the SOUTH
ern ports. The rates Apply from At
lantic coast cities north of Baltimore
and Missouri river points, and not to
intermediate points. The rates from the
coast TO the river, all rail, remain I'M
changed and there is no indication of
any reduction.
All the roads in Omaha with eastern
connections have received the new tar
if sheet. 1t shows a reduction of about
one-third from the rates heretofore
prevailing. The roads connecting with
the gulf ports announced thai they
would maintain the differential. to
which they assert they are entitled. re-
CARELESS of the rates put in by other
lines, and they have carried that out.
Yesterday word was received here that
the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf had
made a further reduction, going under
the new rates of the other lines Is cents
on first-class, and it is presumed that
the Omaha connection of this road will
put the rate into this city.

Law Points at the Trial of the.
Wardner Rioters.

Denver, June 26.-The executive COM
mittee of the Smeltermen's union to-
day sent a communication to Secretary
W. F. Hynes of the state board of ar
bitration, asking that body to use its
good offices to effect an adjustment of
wages on the eight-hour basis, and Of
| fering to furnish all data in its hands
for the use of the board. Secretary
Hynes Immediately issued a call for
meeting OF the board tomorrow.
President Z. w. Nash of the Ameri-
can Smelling & Refining company ar
rived in the city today and most of
the time since his arrival has been in
close consultation with the local trust
managers. In an interview tonight
Mr.. Nash declared that he came to
the city on business connected with the
organization of the company, and made
a proposition to the men before the
smelters shut down, and that it had
no further offers to make. He denied
that a new scale was being prepared
or considered by the company. He said
he believed the men were ready to go
to work, but no move would be made
by either side until the constitutional
ity of the eight-hour law had been de-
cided by the supreme court.
Mr.. Nash said that as soon as DOS
sible the company expected to resume
operations. At Leadville not only will
the Bimetallic and the Arkansas Valley
plants be started, but the Union, which
has been closed since 1898, will be re-
fitted and put in operation.
The EilerS smelter at Pueblo, one of
the trust plants, resumed work today
with about half its regular force, one
furnace being blown in. Another will
be started tomorrow and it is expected
the smelter will be running at its full
capacity in a few days. This is done
under a special agreement with it's
employees by which the company is to
defend them if they wish to violate
the eight-hour law.

One evening last week printer took his
might orr and proceeded to dab the town
with a deep carmine hue. The saloons
closed, and the typo went to one of the
clubs and proceeded TO execute rough
house that would have done credit to

this particular time he was living in
Rockville, but the potent influence of
MANY gin rickeys, whisky high balls and
other home destroyers in the shape of
divers and sundry cocktails had made all
homes look alike to him.
1t was a warm night and as the typo
.ri,dred down the street he concluded that
he would like bath. He stopped In front
of a fine brown-stone front, and conclud-
ed that the residence was probably equip

died state he could figure out no other
proposition than that it was left burning
for him. He found the door unlocked and
entered. After wandering around for a
short time downstairs he remembered
that his primary purpose for intruding
was to obtain bath, and he pursued his
search for the apartment. He found it,
and the door stood invitingly open. He

GENTLY full he jumped in and proceeded
TO frolic around, like young hippopota-
mus enjoying his first plunge; In a mo-
ment a knock came at the door. and a
quavering masculine voice cried out:
Who's in the bathroom"
Me" answered the printer. as he
splaushed the water about with the
abandon of an alligator.
What are you dong?
Taking bath, of course. Can't you
hear me?'
What are you doing that for?"
Thought L needed one. Say. l don't
like this soap. Bring me cake of Cash

Pears will do
The soap was brought by the obliging
gentleman outside and thrown over the
transom. Meantime fearful feminine
chorus sobbed concert out in the hall.
The unperturbed typo caught the words:
'Burglar!" 'Robberr' and he thought
it time to reassure the occupants of the
house.
Don't be alarmed ladies. I'm only
taking a bath. I'll leave as soon as I'm
through. 1 wish you would bring me some
towels: regular Turkish towels. not these
little napkins. for I'm a big man

SIZES UP HER FORCES
Queen OF England at a Review of
Troops.

London, June 26.-The queen. the
duke of Cambridge, the Prince OF
Wales, the duke of York, Grand Duke
Michael of Russia, the duke of Con-
naught, General Lord Wolseley, com
mander-in-chief of the army; Colonel
Samuel S. Sumner, L. s. A, military
attache of the United States embassy
at London, and many princes and
Drincesses were present on the famous
Plains of Aldershot today, to witness
4 review of over $4,000 of the hest
troops in the kingdom.
This review is interpreted in London
tonight as a means of satisfying Queen
Victoria that her troops are ready for
any emergency they may be called
upon 10 meet, in the Transvaal or else
where. 1t is known now that the
queen returned from Balmoral castle,
Scotland, mostly for the purpose of
attending this review, and in view of
the fact of her majesty's natural re-
luctance to attend such functions, the
Importance of this review is manifested.
Not since the queens jubilee has a
more magnificent army corps passed
before an European sovereign, and
while 5000 additional troops remained
in their barracks, the display afforded
the queen ample evidence of her mill
tary resources. All the regiments
which took part in the review were
those which would answer the first
hurry call to arms for the Transvaal
and elsewhere and as the first battal-
ions swung past the royal carriages,
their fitness evoked the heartiest APP
plause. Nearly $1,000 infantry, fifty
guns and $500 horses made UP this
magnificent display.
Nearly all the foreign military at
tacheS We're present and a profound
impression was made Upon them as the
dragons, the Scots, the famous royal
regiment of which Emperor William is
the honorary colonel, the fusileers, the
Camerons the Scottish rifles and other
heroes of the Zulu campaigns swung
past. The enthusiasm of the crowd was
intense and the 0Aeen smiled aDproba-
ton as each command came immedi-
ately under her eye
Colonel Sumner and the other at
taches compared the army of the queen
to forest of shimmering steel. over
hanging a scarlet sea-" and character
lied it as one of the finest review within
their experience.

FAvoRs LARGER ARMY.
General Miles An Advocate of Re
Inducements For Otis.

General Miles An Advocate of Re
Inducements For Otis.
New York, June pa special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Major General Miles is an advocate
of the dispatch of reinforcements 10
General Otis. He declined TO discuss
the political position in the Philip
pines, other than to say that it was
serious" nor would he give any idea
of the troops that should be sent 10 the
Philippines to place the archipelago IN
der American control.
General Miles, as far back as Decem-
Der, recommended that ten regiments
which the president has authorized to
be raised under the army regulations
law, be reorganized and sent to Manila.
AT that time officers at army head
quarters believed this force would be
sufficient TO crush the rebellion. In
view of the strength developed by the
insurgents they are not now so san
guine that ten regiments are enough.
There will be 1900 in the ten regi-
merits which the war department is
going to organize, but officers say that
the force of $4,000 men which General
Otis will have when reinfOrcementS
win have been placed at his disposal,
viii be sufficient.
Besides the island of Luzon there are
lldlN OlIiEE 1Sld1luS III NUc
which this government Will have TO re-
store peace and order in, and among
the more important ones there are or
ganized bodies prepared TO resist oc-
cupation by American troops.
General Marcus p. Miller, who re-
Gently arrived from the Philippines,
where he governed uoilo, has been liv-
ing here since his return. General
Miller's view as to the number of men
required for the subsection of the
islands is very different from that of
General Otis. He believes 65, geo men
at least are required; $4,000 for the
control of LuZon, and the remainder for
the restoration of peace and order in
the other islands.
General Miller's view comedies with
General LawIon's and that of other Of
ficers subordinate to General Otis. In
fact, in other than administration
circles, there is a disposition TO be-
lieve that General Otis estimate of the
men required was made when he knew
of the desire of the president not to
raise volunteers, if possible to avoid
It
There is no truth in the story that
General Miles has applied to be sent to
Manila. General Miles would not wish
10 take any action TO displace General
Otis when that officer is doing all he
can to quell the rebellion with the linn
tied means at his command. Notwith-
standing the report to the contrary.
the president is satisfied with General
Otis course, and has no intention Of
relieving or recalling him.
1t is equally untrue, il is asserted by
Acting Secretary Meiklejohn, that Gen
eral Otis has cabled that he Will be
compelled to retreat unless promptly
reinforced.

GENERAL OTIS REPORT.
1t Is Considered Very Satisfactory
By the War Department.

Washington. June 26-GeneraI OTIS
detailed report of the conditions exist
ing in the Philippines is considered
very satisfactory at the war depart
ment. ii is taken to mean that Cen
ecal Otis viii not now prosecute the
campaign on account of the rainy sea-
son, except where the insurgents make
il necessary to defend the territory now
in possession Of the United States
That portion OF the dispatch telling
OF the belief among the Filipinos that
the present policy of the United States
VIII not be upheld, is regarded as Of
great significance. IL is believed that
when the Filipinos see there is no hope
of their recognition by the United
States they VIII give up the fight
The absence Of any suggestion as to
more troops being needed is taken to
mean that General Otis does not be-
lieve they could be used TO advantage
AT present.
