upon the digestion that good healthy
appetite results; and the liver, bowels,
kidneys and bladder all come in for
share Of the new strength and vigor.
rheumatism, backache and headache,
billousness and all nervous diseases are
rapidly cured as we'll as all diseases of
women. There are times when a person
would give almost anything to be rid Of
a frightful headache. Zaegels Swedish
Essence will relieve it right away And
the sour stomach, constipation, lack of
energy, backache and the hundred or
more little ills with which we are at
tackled so frequently will be quickly
cured by this famous remedy. Nc one

also be found the agricultural exhibit,
which promises TO surpass anything
of the kind ever sean In the West.
The principal buildings have been
changed but little except to improve
here and there. and to brighten up and
add a few finishing touches to exter-
Tors. More important changes have
been made in the landscape gardening.
The general plan followed last year
has not been changed but 1t has been
added to and vastly improved. About
the Court of Honor sections of the
brick walks have been removed and
number of small gardens relieve the
eye and increase the pleasing effect OF
the whole. Tropical plants and flow
ers will give brilliant touch Of color
to the scene and supply the necessary
contrast to the white and stately
buildings and the reaches OF green
sward. In the center of the court the
clear waters of the lagoon give back
to view the fairy picture, while the
fountain flashes in the sunlight and
gaily decorated water-craft glide here
and there.
Rudolph Ulrich, the well-known
landscape artist, has been at work on
the grounds nearly months now,

department During May he had more
than one hundred men employed, and

FRESH MOVE TOWARD PEACE.

Aguinaldo and Some Of His Leaders
Make Overtures to General Otis.
WASHINGTON, July 19.-Important
ca Diagrams have been received at the
state department from the Philippine
commission and at the war department
from General Otis concerning a new
move in the direction of peace. These
dispatches have been in the hands of
the president for several days, but he
has declined to make them public be-
cause the ultra-optimistic views here
tofore received from the same source
have not been borne out by subse-
quent events. The latest dispatches,
however, are more encouraging than
the previous ones, but the president
wishes to have some positive results
before making them public. All that
can be learned definitely about them
is that direct overtures for peace have
been made to General Otis by Aguin-
aldo and some of his principal leaders.
1t is said by a cabinet official that if
the promises are fulfilled the volun-
teers now being enlisted will not be
needed.

Promptly on time the gates Of the
First Greater America Colonial Expo
sition were opened on the morning Of
July /, and the last great educational
enterprise of the 10th century is now
we'll under way, its beautiful grounds
and magnificent buildings thronged
with crowds of visitors, who are sur
prised and pleased to find their ex-
pectations more than realized. The
buildings and grounds are complete
and the principal exhibits already in
place. A large force of men, working
day and night, are rapidly bringing
order out Of chaos and few days will
serve to put all the splendid displays
in position.
The grounds cover about two hun
dred acres and are arranged in four
sections, or divisions. The most i'm
portant section is the Grand Court of
Honor, where the principal buildings
are grouped around the lagoon. East
OF the Court lies the Bluff Tract, the

Then a lawn of several acres has been
added and the whole resown with
seeds, making the several tracts rich
with grasses, flower-beds, and foliage.
A rare musical treat is in store for
visitors to the exposition of 1899.
From the opening day there will be a
succession of grand concerts by the
most famous musical organizations of
the world. The world-famed British
Grenadier Band, generally known as
Godfrey's british Military Bald, give
daily concerts for five weeks. From
Omaha it goes to San Francisco and
from there to Australia. Following
will come the famous Bellstedt-Ballen-
berg Band of forty-five pieces from
Cincinnati for an engagement of five
weeks. Herman Bellstedt, the leader

by the people of the north and west.
This is especially true of the Florida
plants, and also of the Hawaiian COL
lection, several cars coming from
those islands. In addition to the
plants already on the grounds there
has been over 250,0OO new plants set
out this year. The palm and oleander
features will be conspicuous, as it Is
intended to have wonderful collec-
ton of these among others. In addi-
ton to the trees on the grounds last
year, nearly two thousand new ones
have been set out, making the Grand
Court and other parts Of the grounds,
green, cool, and shady, as we'll as add
ing greatly to the general effect. A
race-track, half-mile, has been made,
which is very neat and attractive.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July o1.-No
new cases Of yellow fever in the city
or the camps were reported yesterday.
The last case was that of IL hospital
nurse, who had said that she was an
immune. Two employees Of the Barber
Asphalt company were attacked on
Saturday. The other employees have
established camp outside the city.
One soldier died yesterday at the Ho-
niato hospital. Gen. Wood says that

STRONG HORSES NEEDED,

Only tile Best Animals to he Bought for
the Philippine Service.
WASHINGTON, July ls.-Instructions
nave been given by Brigadier General
Ludington, quartermaster general, to
quartermasters throughout the middle
and far west to report Immediately the
number of horses obtained for cavalry
service in the Philippines and their
cost Instructions have been issued
by the presidents direction to supply
$500 horses for General Otis, which
he says he needs for the cavalry bril-
gade he hopes to organize. That only
the best horses may be obtained,
General Ludington contemplates APP
pointing board of experienced
officers to carefully inspect horses Of
fered, SO that only those strong
enough to stand the eXhausting trip
to Manila and the enervating climate
of the Philippines may be bought.
General Otis's reports show that Aus
tralian and Philippine horses are not
satisfactory for American purposes.
AS only one regiment Of cavalry is
under General Otis's command, and as
he proposes TO organize Il cavalry
brigade, it is presumed by the officials
that he will mount an infantry rcgl-
ment. In any event, the authorities
have not until now considered the
propriety of ordering another cavalry
regiment to Manila. There is plenty
of time, however, for action, as it is
estimated it will be October or Novem.

Otis desires reach Manila.

New YORK, July 20.---Just before two
o'clock yesterday morning there were
two terrific explosions in South Brook.
n, at Fifth avenue and Thirty-ffth
street. 1t was found that dynamite,
or some other high explosive, had been
placed against the base pillars of the
Fifth avenue elevated road at that
point Dynamite had been put beside
the pillars on the opposite sides of the
street. The explosions were almost
simultaneous. The force was such
that windows in nearby houses We're
blown in. On one side of the avenue
are the pumping station works and
on the other Greenwood cemetery
Underneath the road bed is the drive,
leading to the cemetery. Word was
Immediately sent to the Brooklyn
police headquarters and reserves called
out. A few minutes later a hundred
police were on their way to the scene.
From the force of the explosions and
the quantity of dynamite used, cleo
tric,ty must have been employed in
making the discharge. The structure
was SO badly damaged that all trains
were stopped for several hours. East
New York elevated trains were also
discontinued for fear that similar out
RACES might be attempted elsewhere.
Shortly after the explosion nine de-
tectives, acting under orders from
Chief Devery, proceeded to the strikers
headquarters in Brooklyn and placed
twenty-five lenders there under arrest
on suspicion of completely III the out
rage. When the accused strikers
We're arraigned they were charged
with vagrancy. All pleaded not
guilty. Several wore gold watch

were all held for examination, and, in
default of bail, were sent to Jail. Six
teen of the men whose records were
subsequently looked up were charged
with conspiracy. An employe of the
Brook lyn Rapid Transit Company tes-
titled that he saw dynamite in their
possession. They were held to the
grand jury, which meets in September.
NEW YORK, July 2O-A sympathetic
strike has begun on the Second avenue
line of the Metropolitan street rail-
way. There was rioting along the
route nearly all day yesterday the
policemen declaring it to be the worst
ever seen in New York. Many police
men and rioters were injured. Several
attempts were made to wreck cars,
some of them being partially success
full. Finally all attempts to run cars
on the Second avenue line were aban.
doned at 1920 last night.
