About a dozen hobos applied for
lodging at the city Jail last night, but
we're told that if they went into the Jail
1t would be for thirty days. One and
all refused this liberal offer. The cold
weather is accomplishing a great deal
in clearing this city Of the undesirable
element, and the city officers are hav-
ing much less trouble than they have
experienced the last lew months.

question resolves itself down to this: is
the land mineral-bearing or not. Upon
the determination of that point will de-
pend the settlement of the dispute.
In the meantime Reed and his part
ners are putting up their houses. 1t is
designed that there shall be a settle
ment there, with a store or two and
doubtless a saloon. The place already
begins to assume an Importance as a
transfer station for the Rambler teams,
and no doubt the land at that particu-

DISPUTE
OVER LAND NEAR THE NEW
RAMBLER NINE HAS
ARISEN.
Rival Claimants to a Prospective
Townsite-The Place is Where the
Ore from the Rambler Ia Transfer
red from SIeds to Wagons for
Hauling to Laramie-Threats of
Violence.

The scramble for good things in the
neighborhood of the Rambler mine has
already begun; and the first clash, with
a hint of prospective gun play, occur
red day before yesterday. The difficult
ty has been brought to the attention of
the county authorities.
There is a point about fifteen miles
from the Rambler. at the foot of the
mountain, where the ore from the mine
is transferred from sleds to wagons.
1t is brought down the mountain into
the valley on sleds, and there loaded
into six-horse wagons for hauling to
Laramie. The presenl ate of ship
ment amounts to a car Of ore every
three days, one having left for Denver
today. Now at the point where the
transfer is made, the wagon read runs
through a little canon formed by the
South Fork Of the Little Laramie. It
is, in a business way, a strategic point,
and there have not been lacking
persons shrewd enough to see its val.
ue as a townsite.
How It Started.
Now on Dec. 8 joseph H. McNealy,
in the land Office in Cheyenne, made a
homestead filing upon this land, de-
claring, as all the settlers in the valley
have, that the land is non-mineral. He
filed upon 100 acres. A little later A.
E. Reid, John P. Hughes, William Grit
fifth, Ross Hansen, Wesley Jensen and
Charles Thomas, filed upon 100 acres
of this same tract as placer lana.
Wednesday McNealy. who is living
on the old Pratt ranch, which adjoins
the land he has filed upon, discovered
Reid and other men putting up build
ings upon the land that he claims. He
rode up to them and warned them of.
They declined to go, but warned him
off in turn. And, McNealy says, they
went farther and told him that If he
did not keep away they would send him
away "in a wooden overcoat."
He Came Away. $
McNealy didn't like the idea of a
wooden o%vercoat, and SO left. He came
to Laramie at once and stated the Ease
to the officers Of the law. They advis-
ed him to be gentle, and a letter has
been written to Mr.. Reid and his party
giving them the same sort of advice.
will result, for both parties
to the controversy are eager to secure
possession Of the land. The whole

SHOPS
IN OMAHA ARE TO BE ENLARGED,
AND WORK WILL BEGIN
AT ONCE.
Union Pacific Will Spend as Much
Money This Year on Improve
ments as It Invested Last Year in
Strengthening and LeveIing the
Line-Prosress Of the Work on the
Hill.

The Union Pacific Railroad company
expended more than 81 5000, 900 for i'm
provements last year; it will spend an
equal, and perhaps a larger amount in
the present year.
The order has been issued within the
past few days for the enlargement of
the Omaha shops. The work will be-
gin as soon as possible and the cost
will be half a million dollars or more.
With the great increase in equipment
the necessity for more shop facilities
has grown paramount. The additions
to the Omaha shops will be followed by
improvements in all the shops along
the line.
A new gravel pit will be opened this
week at the new Buford station on the
hill, and the old pits will be abandoned.
There remains now only a matter of
900 feet on the Sherman hill tunnel to
be finished. This will occupy about
two months Of time, as the work is pro-
crossing steadily. The eastern ap-
proach to the tunnel has been finished
and the western approach soon will be.
The grading work there continues de-
spite the cold weather.
AS announced in yesterdays Repub-
lican, the steel for the cutoff is ex-
pected here on Jan. 20. Engineer Dun
lap will begin laying track as soon as
the rails arrive. He will begin the
work at Buford and lay the rails to the
tunnel, and will then begin at this end
of the new line and work toward the
tunnel.

CUBA'S BRIGHT FUTURE.
General Wood Discusses Conditions
on the Island.

on the Island.
New York. Aug l.-General Leon
ard Wood, military governor of Cuba,
who is now, on board the dispatch
boat Kanawha preparing for a cruise
along the coast Of New England, said
in discussing Cuban affairs:
Cuba is a totally undeveloped ISL
and and has a great future before it.,
Yellow fever in another year will
cease to be epidemic. We have not
had single case Of yellow fever at
Havana this summer and none in
Eastern Cuba for two years past
"Cuba's resources require capital for
development. The last enormous
sugar crop was raised on per cent
of the entire sugar producing lands
Only this small percentage is under
cultivation. We have $500. in our
reserve fund and can pay all our debts
and get out of Cuba within the next
eight months. We have established
$500 f1ourishing schools Two years
ego we were obliged to provide over
100 orphan asylums to protect the des-
titute children. Since then we have
abolished so and expect to be able to
close more before we retire from the
management of the Cuban affairs. Our
troops have been we'll cared for and
their health compares favorably with
that Of the troops in this country,
showing that the island is healthy"

BOILERS NAME A TICKET
Ohio Democrats Who Believe in Free
Silver Hold a Convention at
Columbus.
Meeting is Small and Delegates Con-
vene in the Parlors OF the
Hotel.
Resolutions Reahirm the Kansas CITY
Platform and Endorse Bryan
and Free Silver.

Columbus, O., Aug. IA convention
Of advocates of free silver and other
issues not yet covered in either the
Democratic or Republican state plat
forms met here during tiae day. The
attendance was small.
A call for shis convention was is
sued Immediately after %he Democrat
ic state convention by George A. Groot
of Cleveland and others. Groot acted
as temporary chairman of the conven-
tion when it was called to order in the
parlors Of one of the hotels. He re-
viewed the conditions that brought
about the movement and insisted that
it was not brought about solely by
"Bryan Democrats" but by all those
who advocate free silver and are op-
posed to both the old parties as at
present organized and controlled.
At meeting during the morning,
attended by George A. Groot, Abner
Davis, B. W. Lindsay, Bernard Hubert,
Rishard Inglis and others. it was de-
cided that a full state ticket shall be
nominated. A state committee will
be named and plans laid for an active
campaign on behalf of the independ-
ent movement. The platform adopted
at the Cleveland conference of July
IT, and which has been circulated by
mail, was endorsed. This document
reaffirms the Kansas City platform
endorses William J. Bryan and de-
clares particularly for the free coin
age of silver. 1t also includes the fol
lowing plank:
eve demand that all money that is
| manufactured to be used in this coun
| try as a medium of exchange, whether
| it be gold, silver or paper, shall be
coined by the government and dis
tributed among the people without the
intervention of banks, and that ev
cry dollar of it be legal tender for al
| debts, public and private"

ITS CONTENTS A SECRET.
SchIey's Reply to the Precept to the
Court Received.

Washington, Aug. lit was an
nounced at the navy department that
the letter from Rear Admiral Schley
acknowledging the receipt of the pre-
cept to the court of inquiry and max
ing certain suggestions with reference
thereto has at last been received. No
explanation of the delay in it's arrival
and no statement of its contents were
furnished. Judge Advocate Lemly
simply announced that the letter had
arrived and would receive considera-
ton. He declined to answer all in
terrogatories, basing his refusal upon
the order of the secretary, pronibit-
ing officers from discussing the case.
Captain Lemly departs on his annual
leave Saturday and the supposition is
that Rear Admiral Schley's letter will
be considered before that time and
that whatever action is to be taken on
the admirals representations will be
taken at once.

SPANISH OPINION OF scHLEY.
Captain Moreu Discusses the Battle Of
Santiago.

New York, Aug. 1.-The Madrid
correspondent of The Journal and Ad
vertiser has obtained an interview
from Captain Diaz Moreu, who com.
manded the Christobal Colon during
the naval conflict off Santiago. Says
Captain Moreu, in reference to the
movements of Admiral Schley:
"All the American officers, without
exception, did their duty in the naval
battle of Santiago. So did we, al
though it is certain that we were van
quished by superiority Of force. 1t is
absurd and unpatriotic to make any
exception in the case of Admiral
Schley. 1t is absurd, because the
Brooklyn was in the thick of the fight
throughout. She was at the mouth Of
the harbor when we tried to pass out
and engaged us with a terrific fire, do
ing frightful damage to the end. In
the pursuit Of the Christobal Colon we
surrendered to the Brooklyn, as miles
west of Santiago.
"The Brooklyn was the first to en-
counter us as we were coming out and
the first to lead in the pursuit, and she
kept up the lead, with the Oregon
vastly aiding. The Brooklyn landed a
shell just ahead of my ship and with
the Oregon helping her, there was
nothing left for me to do but to run
ashore.
"The Brooklyn's conduct was brave
hence Commodore Schley's was
brave"

GREAT PRAISE FOR ROBERTS
Balfour Tells What Might Have Hap
pened Without Him in South
Africa.
Resolution Proposed Granting Him
100000 Pounds for Services
In the War.
Nationalist Protest, and Object to
CHASING Roberts With Such
Men as Marlborough.

London, Aug. LIN the house Of
commons, in proposing a. resolution
granting Field Marshal Earl Roberts
100000 for his services in South
Africa, A. J. Balfour, the government
leader, in the course of an eulogy of
the field marshal, whom he compared
with such men as Collingwood, Mel
son, Marlborough and Wellington, said
there was no doubt that but for Lord
Roberts daring and strategy and the
rapidity with which his plans were
carried out, Kimberly and Mafeking
would have fallen, 1000 British would
have been starved into submission at
Ladysmith and there wouSi have been
a general rising of di~oyalists in
South Africa. Great Britain might
have recovered therefrom but at what
a cost? The country was saved from
this by the genius of the man he now
invited the house to reward by an
unanimous vote, irrespective of polit-
ical differences. The statement
called forth protests from the Irish
members.
The Liberal leader, Sir Henry Camp
bell Bannerman, concurred in the mo-
tion.
Some Protests Made.
John Dillon, Nationalist, strongly op-
posed the motion. He protested
agaist mentioning Lord Roberts in as
sociation with such a man as MarI-
borough. He declared Lord Roberts
had shown the greatest inhumanity in
South Africa and said he had employ
ed barbarous methods and had proved
himself dismal failure.
Mr.. Labouchere, Radical. protested
against granting gratuities to military
men while nothing was given to civil
ians who were doing something for
the benefit of their country.
| Mr.. KierHardy, Socialist and Inde-
pendent Labor, took similar view.
He declared that in the opinion of ex-
perts at home and abroad Lord Rob-
erts' failure primarily was responsible
| for the continuance of the war.
After further debate for and against
| the measure Mr.. Balfour moved the
| closure, which was carried by 257 to
1QS votes. The resolution was adopt
| ed by vote of PSI to 73.

child each was disclosed. At still
another place poor family had fos-
tered four babies within a year, all
OF whom had died. They had been Sc
cured, it was asserted, from a private

LONG STRUGGLE EXPECTED.
No Sign of Early Settlement Of the
San Francisco Strike.

No Sign of Early Settlement Of the
San Francisco Strike.
San Francisco, Aug. 1.-There are
no signs of speedy settlement of the
great strike of the City Front Fedora
tion, inaugurated in this vicinity Tues
day. EMPLOYERS predict it's ultimate
collapse, altE :ough they admit that the
struggle may be prolonged. The labor
leaders express confidence of victory
and say that, if necessary, the strike
will be extended to include every port
on the Pacific coast. The resolution
calling out the members of the fed
GRAFTON already has been extended so
as to cover the entire bay of San
Francisco. The marine firemen will
call out their full membership of 1900,
with the exception of those employed
on towboats. The strike of the pack
ers has forced the American Can COM
pany to close down, throwing 400 per-
sons out of employment. Canneries,
which depend upon it for the supplies
ST cans, employ 5000 men, women and
children and, unless the factory can
resume within a few days, all will be
thrown out of work.
Arrangements have been made by
the Ship Owners association to meet
the strike of the sailors, marine fire
men and longshoremens unions. Nom
union men are to be employed if pos
sible and an effort made to handle the
freight at the wharves.
The Pacific Steamship company's
firemen did not go out. The men have
signed individual contracts which they
did not violate. The sailors, however
have struck and the company is look
ing for new men.
The police commissioners have
granted about 100 permits to non
union men to carry concealed weapons
for the purpose of self-defense.
