Tho ovation Thursday given Hon. W. ,T.
Bryan. c"loiwl if the Third Nebraska regi
ment. of xolunters, was exceeded only by
nis reception in this city in JsyG, when lie
rwms tin' democratic <>..i ndida.te for the
prcsidi ncy. Ills train wns delayed on ac
count of the wrecking of a freight train
io.d it was consequently not known he
would arrive.
Th' crowd tired of waiting for him at
tiie depot and he had enter' d the Kimball
house before his presence in the city was
<h.-covered. Accompanied by a number
of his staff others, ho left, his Pullman,
which w:;i attached to the fourth section,
at Forsyth ; tr« et bridge, shortly after 12
o’el .. k and w alked to the hotel
Just as lie lopped inside tho entrance
some one shouted his name and Ju an
instant every man in the hotel began
< iu ' ring. L ehi waved their handker
chiefs and d ■ nite the fact that the of
ficers of the Third Nebraska. pressed
around their commander, forming a V,
they were powerless to keep back tho
livery on, was clieering, calling for a
speech a .d end'uV'iring to aljuke the. hand
of th. deiii'ii r.iiir leader. Some attempted
to put him on the clerk's counter, but to
this he objected, announcing that, lie
would make a talk from the second floor
11 allowed to go upstairs.
Cheering ike mad all the time, the
crowd open d n way and Colonel Bryan
went to the second floor of the hotel. The
sponsors and maids of honor crowded
around ;md the reception given him by
titeni >i is equally as hearty as that ho re
ceived from tho men.
A :• i the co .'ring had subsided some

mirers as follows:

At Hapeville tho train made a. short .-top
for orders, and tho Indies of the little place
made a rush for the window from which
Colonel Bryan was loaning. Ho told them

Omaha. Neb., July 16. (Special.( This has
been a "red letter’’ day for the Trans-Mls
sissippl ami International exposition. The
dav was named by the management “Mil
itary Day," In honor of the Third Ne
braska regiment, now in camp at Omaha
fort, about ono mile from the city. The
regiment has been ordered to report at
Jacksonville, and will leave on Mon
day, July 18th. The occasion should
have been nam'd "Bryan liny,”
as tho regiment is commandxd by this dis
tinguished Nebraskan, ami he has be
come the attraction and the prominent
figure ot tlie occasion.

The day furnished opportunity for the
friends of Its trocqis to meet them in the
last "g'Xxlby.” I cannot undertake to esti
mate the crowds. I should accept as cor
rect any figures the matiag im nt. may give
out, as it seemed as the people literally
camo up from the earth. The crowd was
simply enormous, ami the Jam in the au
ditorium was fearful. The march from the
camp began about 9:3a o' lock. Governor
Holcombe. his adjutant general, and
Colonel Bryan leading. Colonel Bryan
was cheered as he reached the croxvded
streets of the city, and the people began
moving In vast columns to the grounds.
As tiio surging mass jammed and pushed,
tho people did not forget to eiieer lustily
for the soldier statsman xvitoni they seemed
wild to honor. The mil 1 ny people were
not behind In demonstration, as the col
umn reached tlxe grounds,

Tim day was excessive!:, hot, but the
troops were mas hed oo o 'he plaza and

the auditorium while the crowds sweltered
in waiting for tho doors to open. The

AMES FOR THE MEW
TERRITORY ACQUIRED
Some Impoilant Changes the End of
the War Will Bring.
WILL NEED LARGER ARMY
Effect of Naval Battles on the Con
struction of Ships—Destruction
by Fire in Naval Battles.
By Jos: Ohl.
Washington, D. C., July 18.—(Special.)--Tt
may bo too early to pass fair judgment
upon our Cuban allies, but it begins to bo
evident—ls it is not. entirely so already—
that tho end of tim war will by no means
bring an end to our troubles In Cuba.
Tho testimony of most of those on the
ground Indicates that, while some of the
Cubans may be able to put up a gooxl fight
if forc'd to do It, most of them con
,llne their fighting to tho supply trains,
which they can be counted upon to attack
with great vigor upon every possible oc
casion, but outsiido of that they are for
the .most part a. worthless crew whoso
real sympathies are with the Spanish
who have oppressed them for centuries
rather than with the Americans, who are
making freedom possible tor them.
However that may be, and however tho
historians on the scene may d fl'er ns to
tim personal bravery ot’ the Cubans, there
seems to bo practical and un inlmous agree
ment upon thls-that the Cubans arc not
tioxv capable of self-gov.•rnm-nt. Tlp v may
not have cut off the h-ads of Spanish
prisoners, as Hearst ami others on tim
s.'-no have declared oniy to meet the ex
plicit denials of General Shafter, but I’ is
r erally act ept< d that the Cuba
• not • X I' ■ •
government ae.-ording to our Arnmlt an
F :.s and It is more and more ei itam
tint tho day when they will he entrusted
wilh the control of the island >s lar oft
i Responsibility of This Government.
I We I: It" taken upon ourselves tho f-
1 Bponsiblllty of establishing a stable and
Independent government for Cuba, 'and we
have reached tl": point, whore that portion
of our work must begin. Tim government
of Santiago presents a. problem -which is
just now bothering the authorities no little.
This is secondary, to Im sure, to tim
greater problem of getting the Spanish
