EXTRAVAGANZA MONDAY NIGHT
Big Spectacle. "snntiago," to he Pro-
duced on the Plaza.

Dig SpcctaCie. "Snnt1aRO,' TO be PrO-
duced on the Plaza.
Monday night the extravaganza, San
tiga." arranged by Kelly and Bellstedt, will
be given on the Grand Plaza. 1t promises
to be one OF the greatest attractions ever
given on the grounds. Mr.. Kelley and Mr..
Bellstedt have both worked night and day
in preparing the spectacle, and have spared
no pains or expense in getting UP some
thing entirely new and novel.
The scene Is laid in Santiago. and the
music and accompanying actors and seem
cry are Castilian In character. The Span
ish music is introduced and the southern
spirit obtains.
Camp life on the American side Is also
depicted, and the many thrilling trumpet
calls and the orders they designate arc
exemplifed beautifully. The sunset gun,
tattoo, or lights out, and many other Incl
dents Of soldiers life are among them. A
touch of the sea life Is introduced and the
music takes up the famous sailor music
of the world to lend a touch OF salt sea
to the picture. The boom OF guns In the
distance tells the story OF the battle OF
Santiago. and the charge OF the Rough
Riders is also heard. Later comes the
singing of The Vacant Chair" and then
the rousing homecoming Of the troops Is
given. thus bringing the spectacle to a
close in a burst of glory, both for the eye
and the ear. There will be fireworks to
make the scene realistic.
A large army of people has been gath
cred together for the occasion, consisting Of
Spanish dancing girls. soldiers, drummers,
Rough Riders and villagers. The music
will be furnished by Bellstedt's full concert
band. Adelmann's Omaha band, stringed
instruments. concert singers, ballad singers
and male quartets.

Hurt in Mystic Maze.

Thomas Campbell OF Lincoln went In to
find the beautiful girl at the end OF the
Mystic Maze on East Midway Saturday
afternoon, but instead OF finding the beau
tiful dream he was taken to the Emergency
hospital in an ambulance with two badly
cut hands and a suit OF clothing that has
seen its best days. IS he was walking
along through the mirrors he came in con-
tact with one OF them forcibly and the
breaking glass fell over him in a keen
shower. His coat was badly cut and his
hands were wounded by the falling glass so
badly that several stitches were taken in
them to make them as good as new.

Young Nebraska VioIinist.

The musical program for this afternoon
at the Auditorium by Bellstedt's band is
one of the best that has been arranged
by the great band master. 1t Is a sacred
concert in nature, yet 1t is not a prosy
one by any means. and contains some good
music. To add yet more 10 the interest a
variety will be added In the shape OF a
violin solo by Miss Silence Oales OF Lin
coin. a talented young musician. who will
play airs Hongroise" by Ernst. The SOLO
list will have piano accompaniment. Miss
Dales appeared last year as violin solojst
with Thomas orchestra, playing at that
time the 'Ballade" and "Polonaise," by
Vieuxtemps, and won the most favorable
encomiums from musical critics, not only Of
the west, but in the more conservative
east as we'll.

Guards Doing Good Work.

The reorganization OF the guards at the
exposition has at last been completed and
tina body OF men is now in excellent
shape. There are only seyenty-seyen men
on the force, a cutting down OF about ten.
but it has been weeded out and drilled into
shape so that the lack OF numbers Will not
cut any figure. The fact that the force has
been put upon a business-like basis and
everything is worked with a system ma a
method helps a great deal. Sergeant Hayes
Is giving the matter his personal atten-
ton. Sergeant w. W. Carter is in charge
during the day and Sergeant Ager at night.

case OF william A. Cox OF Chicago, who has

BONNER is NO MORE.
Founder of the New York Ledg-
er is Dead.

New York, July Robert Bonner
founder of the New York Ledger died
here last night.
Robert Bonner was born near Lon
donderry, Ireland, April Is, 1924. In
1899 he came to Hartford, Conn, where
his uncle was a prosperous farmer, and
entered the printing office of the Hart
ford COurant as an apprentice. Here he
became a thorough printer and laid the
foundation of his subsequent fortune by
extra work and rigid economy. He re-
moved to New York in 1874, was en-
ployed on the Evening Mirror and acted
as correspondent of the Hartford Cour-
ant and of newspapers in Boston, Al
bany and Washington. In 1851 he found
ed the New York Ledger by purchasing
the business and establishment of the
Merchants Ledger. a weekly CONNER
ciaI newspaper, which he transformed
into a journal of current literature and
popular fiction. His enterprise in the
conduct of this paper, and especially his
practice in advertising TO an unprece-
dented extent, gave it an immense cir
culatiOn, at times reaching 400, 900 cop
les. He retired from the active man
agement of the paper some years ago.
Mr. Bonner was well known as the
owner of one Of the finest stables of
trOtting horses in the United States
which he never allowed to take part in
public races. He bought Maud S. when
she held the worlds trotting record,
paying $40 600 for her.

SUITS COMPROMISED.
Injunctions in Telegraph Cases Ar
ranged by Attorneys.

The hearing on the temporary injunc-
tions in the telegraph cases came up be-
fore Judge Hazen today, but they were ar
ranged by stipulatiOnS beforehand, 50 that
there were no arguments presented
The temporary injunction brought by
the Postal company was dismissed as to
one case, so that it can be tried in JUS
tice Wright's court, where it was origin
ally brought. 1t will be a test case, and
on it's decision will rest future action in
the other Postal cases. so that no matter
which way it is decided in the justice
court. it will probably be appealed.
In the Western Union cases the iniunc-
ton was dissolved 50 far as it applies
to the attorneys in the case, but it stands
by common consent against the other de-
PENDANTS, and the case viii be heard on
its merits in the district court at the next
term. This will open the. entire, ques-
ton as to the constitutionality of the tel
egraph rate law and the business of the
rates.
The dismissal of the injunction against
the attorneys gives them an opportunity
to bring as many more suits against the
Western Union as they wish. and it is
said that this action will result, many
people. not only in Topeka. but in other
parts of the state as well, have been
saving up causes of action against the
telegraph company in order to have them
ready for fling as soon as an opportunity
is offered. If the law IS made to hold,
each cause of action is worth 800.

A BAND OF HEROES.
Spanish Garrison at Baler Sur
renders After a Years
Siege.

Manila, July THE Spanish commits
sioners who went to Tarlac for con-
ference with Aguinaldo regarding the
surrender of the Spanish prisoners in
the hands of the Fiipinos returned here
last night
Chairman Delrio, of the commission,
said the release of all the prisoners had
been practically arranged for, but it
would be necessary to consult the Span
ish government before the agreement
could be ratified. He declined to give
the terms of the arrangements or to say
whether these contemplated a ransom.
He asserted, however, that Aguinaldo
had already issued a decree for the re-
lease of the civilian officials and the
sick soldiers.
The commissioners, with the remnant
of the Spanish garrison of Baler, on the
east coast of Iuzon and number of
civilian prisoners, were escorted by Fill
ipinO soldiers from Tarlac to the Ameri
can Outposts at San Fernando and
came to Manila by the night train.

a crowd OF spanish men ana women
embraced them weeping and shouting
their praises. They tell a remarkable
story. 1t appears that the captain sew
eral times proposed to surrender but
the soldiers refused. Finally some
months ago he tried to raise a white
flag. Thereupon Lieutenant Martin
killed him with his own sword. Their
food supply gave out entirely a week
ago and they surrendered to the Fill

were allowed to keep their arms and
they say they marched from Baler with
a Filipino escort and carrying guns

DAMAGED CORN.
Farmers Report That Much Was
Blown Down.

Farmers who are in the city today
say that the heavy rain last night did
considerable damage to the corn. The
wind and rain together beat the corn
down, and much of it will not rise
again N. D. Stark, who lives east Of
the city, said:
The corn has grown so fast lately
that much of it is tOp-heavy, and it is
this that has suffered. It hasn't taken
sufficient time to stool, and the stalks
are tender and brittle, so that when the
heavy wind struck them they went
down and will not rise again
The rain was heavier in some lOcali-
ties than it was around Topeka. Frank
Brown, clerk of the United States dis
trict court, was down at his home at
Garnett yesterday, and he says it Is
extremely wet down there. The rain
was so heavy along the line of the
Southern Kansas last night that there
was no train up, and Mr.. Brown had
to come up on the Missouri Pacific.

1000 A WEEK.
Work of Recruiting For Philippines
Service Progressing Rapidly.

New York, July THE work of re-
cruiting men to fill up the regiments in
the Philippines to the maximum of 12S
men to a company is going on in New
York, the main station in this city and
this part of the country, being at Third
avenue and Ninth street and in charge
of Major Whitney who has been de-
tailed from the Sixth infantry for this
service. All recruits from stations
round about, such as Providence,
Bridgeport, Danville, YOnkers and like
places come to this main station for
their equipment, except arms. 1t is eS-
timated that the quota required is be-
ing filled at the rate of from a thousand
to twelve hundred a week. Were it not
for the extremely rigid physical exam
nation enforced by the war department
it would be possible to do the work
much more rapidly, but the authorities
at Washington, on account of the clim-
attic and other conditions which these
troops will be called upon to face, in
sist on the regulation physical require
ments being filled to the letter. AS an
instance, at this main station, about Is
men a day are being enlisted, but with
modificatio in the physical require
ments this number could be easily in
creased to 80.
On Thursday a company of sixty was
sent to San Francisco to be forwarded
to Manila, and from now on men will be
sent forward as rapidly as possible
While recruiting stations have been
opened at various points throughout all
the eastern states the large ma jOrity of
the men required are being furnished
by New York and Pennsylvania. Most
of these will go to the infantry, although
for all the other arms of the service
men are being recruited as well. No
particular instructions have been re-
! ceiVed from Washington lately, except
to get all the infantry recruits possible
up to July 10, and this is taken to mean
that on that date the recruiting for the
volunteer force is likely to begin. More
men than the dispatches indicated will
probably be required. 1t is known that
not so many of the volunteers now at
Manila can be counted on for re-enlist-
ment as was previously supposed. At
first General Otis thought he could
make up three regiments fror those will
ling to re-enlist from the volunteer
forces about to return home but later
information develops that he has or
ganized only two skeleton regiments
and the term skeleton in some quarters,
is taken to mean that only the officers
and a very few men have consented to
remain 1t is not believed that the auth
critics at Washington will agree to Gen
Otis plan of filing the ranks of these
regiments with friendly natives, as too
little is known of the characteristics of
the natives to guarantee the success of
such scheme.

ONLY VETERANS
Will Be Made officers in New Regi-

ments.
Washington, July THE president
today brought before the cabinet the
plan for differing the provisional army.
The decision to appoint the colonies and
lieutenant colonies of the volunteer
regiments from among the regular army
officers who served during the Spanish
war and the other officers from among
those who served in the volunteer army
with credit or distinction was heartily
approved by the members of the cab
met.
The records of the volunteer officers
are to be carefully looked to in the Sc
lection of officers below the rank of lieu
tenant colonel. Attorney General Griggs
has been examining the question
of wharf and shore rights in Porto
Rico and Cuba where under the old
Spanish law 10 feet along the shore was
reserved by the government He gave
it as his opinion that the interests of
the inhabitants of the islands could be
subserVed by granting revOcaole wharf
privileges and water rights to the own
erS of abutting property. Such priv
ileges would be revocable at the option
of the government whenever they inter-
fered with navigation. Some general
matters were also discussed in a desul-
tory way. Among them the question Of
tariff duties in our new possessions.
Secretary Alger and Secretary Wilson
were the absentees at today's meet
