WASHINGTON, June 14. Arrange

war department. There seems to be no
doubt that this expedition will be sent
from the east ooast of the United
States. The experience in embarking
the first from Tampa has demonstrated
to the war department officials that
other ports where the railway and
other facilities are more adequate than
at Tampa are much more desirable
places for the concentration Of troops

THE BATTLE OF MANILA.
Pain's Magnificent Spectacular
Pyrotechnic Reproduction at^ii
Fairmont, June I
Anuuusual opportunity is afforded
Pain in his latest spectacle.
County Conventions. —«auiuv ui ouuic
The County People's Party conven- *nd ^ffenious pyrotechnical
on met at the court house June 7, Pu*
uThe
Battle of Manila," which will be re
produced at the above place and date,
for sensational and thrilling effects,
and perhaps no other entertainment
that he has ever given will command
so great an amount of 'public atten
tion as will this reproduction of this
most famous naval battle since the
days of Trafalgar. It is, therefore,
not a matter of surprise when it is
stated in advance that be has expend
ed upon this production -more care
and money than he has upon any pre
vious one with which his name has
ever been connected. Intending to
give the American public as exact a
reproduction as possible of the events
of this battle, in which they are so
interested, it is said that he has taken
this exhibit away from that of a
mere scenic and pyrotechnical display
and, through the employment of
stage mechanics, naval engineers and
dramatic exponents, has made it as
close a representation of the original
engagement as is possible upon any
mimic stage. The stage upon which
this spectacle will be presented will
cover over three hundred feet, and,
with the advantage of the open air
and the use of explosives, with which
he is so famously familiar, a pretty
accurate idea of naval .warfare as it
actually exists should be given.
The action takes place before the
Fort of Cavite, with the arsenal seen
in the distance and the Bay of Manila
in the foreground. Each ship of the
Spanish navy is seen with historical
fidelity. Under the garb of night en
ters our Dewey's squadron, and then
follow with accurate detail all the in
cidents of the famous encounter. To
gain the results required, many novel
and ingenious effects are introduced
into this spectacle which have never
before been seen in any of Pain's ex
hibitions. The battleships of both
nations are seen in full action, with
the maneuvers of the fleet as they
then took place faithfully produced.
The battle, which has been arranged
with historic fidelity, will be sensa
tional in the extreme, and no more
accurate idea of the manner of action
of our heroes will perhaps ever be
seen than has been devised for this
fray. The thrilling cannonading,
the screeching of shells, the explosion
of bombs, the cries of the combatants,
the crashing of timbers, the burning
of ships, explosion of the magazines,
and the lurid glare of th& war fires,
will form a vivid picture of sensational
and realistic interest that will un
doubtedly be indelibly stamped upon
the minds of every one who sees it.
It is declared that in this spectacle
Pa}n has gone to such care to faith
fully reproduce the battle, that it will
be$he clpsest approach to a genuine
conflict that can be obtained through
af^.mfm|c means. In this display it
cast' Oe Said that Pain has become
more than a mere purveyor of amuse
ment for. showing so graphically, as
it IS promised he does, this brilliant
page of American history he becomes
as it were, a public instructor, show
ing through object lessons more graph
ic in their results than any descrip
could possibly do the real
engagement, as it Actually took place
It- will undoubtedly be an exhibit
that no patriotic citizen will miss.
A fitting epilogue of the spectacle
will be' the likeness of our Dewey, the
hero of Manila, in fire, bearing the
legend, "We Have Remembered the
Maine." A startling exhibit of some
n? 8ee?
T7- -rr the evening^ making perhaps the
most elaborate display altogether that
Pain has ever exhibited in Iowa.

CHICAGO, Jnne 14. —A reverse that
looks like Waterloo has oome to the
young Napoleon of finanoe, Joseph
Letter. Accompanying his fall was a
great tumble in prioes on the Chicago
board. He has transferred most of his
trade in futures to other well known
houses, who*re wall-protected by mar
gins, and his oash wheat will be "tons*

teed" and handled in sneh away as to
prevent the slump which would be in
evitable if it were thrown on the mar
ket at once.
None of the principals in the Leiter
crisis are:willing to discuss the causes
whieh led to his abdication and the
most plausible explanation that oan be
offered at this time is therefore cir
cumstantial and speculative. The first
indication of
Approaching Dissolution
in the Leiter regime came when the
announcement was made that all his
cash and June wheat had been trans
ferred to Philip D. Armour and that
the September option, of whicih Leiter
was a heavy holder, had been trans
ferred to Lamson Bros. These reported
transactions gave rise to oon jedtuires
that soon developed into a panio. At
the outset it was rumored that Leiter
was trying to get out of the market,
but the aet that Allen, Grier & Zellar
had transferred their trades to Lamson
Bros, instead of selling out direotly
aroused the suspioion that Leiter was
hard pressed and endeavoring to d(s
pose of his immense holdings without
disclosing the oauses of his
•addon Withdrawal Proas ike fit.
It is estimated that during the day
from 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 bushels of
Leiter .wheat, optioned and visible,
were sold to the aooount of the '^foung
Napoleon." This is supposed to have
oonsisted chiefly of options in Septem
ber, July and June, wheat. It was
said on the floor that the bankers of
the Northwest who have been carrying
the Northwestern bull clique refused
to carry their burden for a longer time
and that calls had been made by North
western dealers, particularly the Min
neapolis interests, for margins down to
90 eents. These, it is said, were fol
lowed by calls upon Leiter to
t-
Margin His Wheat Holdings
down to 80 oents. Mr. Leiter had
about 4,000,000 bushels of oash wheat
on hand, much of which he is said to
have disposed of at a loss. Later it
was reported that L. Z. Leiter, when
asked by his sou for more money, had
refused to be drawn further into the
wheat deal and thus compelled the Ut
ter to let go a large line of his holdings
in order to satisfy his warehouse cred
itors and marginal demands.
Mr. Leiter's friends insist that he
has not made an assignment, but it
was admitted that the Leiter interests
had been "trusteed."
LEITER'S METEORIC CAREER
Was a leading Factor la the Market for
dut Four tee* Months.
CHICAGO, June 14.—Joseph Leiter
entered the market April, 9, 1.897, and
immediately afterward the pressure of
a tremendous power was felt, but no
man knew whose was the hand. Lei*
ter's first order was negotiated by
Broker George B. Frenoh. It was for
100,000 bushels of May wheat at 70%
oents per bushel. Then his orders
oame thiok and fast. The cheapest
wheat bought by Leiter was 600,000
bushels June 18, 1807, for September
delivery at 64% cents.
The deal ran 14 months, during
whioh time the price of wheat was
down to 64^ cents in June, 1897, and
up tO $1.85 in May, 1898. It involved
at onetime an interest of more than
85,000,000 bushels of wheat.

OFF GUANTANAMO, Jnne 12, via Mole
St. Nioholas, June 18.—Lieutenant
Colonel Huntington's battalion of
marines, which landed from the trans
port Panther on Friday and encamped
on the hill guarding the abandoned
cable station at the entrance to the
outer harbor of Guantanamo, has been
engaged in heading off a rush attack
5y Spanish guerrillas and regulars since.
0 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The
fighting was almost continuous for 18
hours until 6 o'clock in the morning,
Ivhen
reinforcements were landed'from
he Marblehead. Four of our men
were killed and one wounded. The
.advance pickets under Lieutenants
Neville and Shaw
Are Unaeeeunted For.
Among the killed'is Assistant Sur
geon John Blair Gibbs, son of Major
Gibbs of the regular army, who fell in
the Ouster massacre. His home was at
Riohmond, Va., but he has been prac
ticing in New York and he entered
the service since the war began. He
was a very popular officer. The others
killed are Sergeant Charles Smith of
Smallwood, Private William Dunphy
of Gloucester, Mass., and Private James
McColgan ox Stoneham, Mass. Corporal
Glass was accidentally wounded iu the
head. The Spanish loss is unknown
but it
Was Frobably Considerable.
The splashes of blood found at day
light at the positions the Spaniards oc
cupied indicate fatalities but their com
rades carried off the killed and
wounded.
The engagement began with desul
tory firing at the pickets, 1,000 yards
inland from the camp. Captain
Spicer's company was doing guard
duty and was driven in, finally rally
ing on the camp and repulsing the
enemy at 6 o'clock. The bodies of
Privates MoColgan and Dunphy were
fpund, both shot in the head. The
large cavities caused by the bullets,
which inside a range of 500 yards have
a rotary motion, indicate that the vic
tims were killed at close range. The
bodies were stripped of shoes, hats and
cartridge belt and
Horribly Mutllafed With Machetes.
Shortly after midnight came the main
attack. The Spaniards made a gallant
charge- up the southwest slope, bat
were met by repeated volleys, from the
main body and broke before they were
one-third of the way up to.the.hilltop,
but they came so close that at points
there was almost a band to hand
struggle. It was during this assault
that Assistant Surgeon Gibbs was
killed. The attacks were continued at
intervals throughout the rest of the
night, with firing from small squads in
various directions. Towards morning
the fire slackened. Dawn is the favor
ite time for attack, and, as the East
paled, the marines, lying on their
guns, were aroused. But no attacks
came. Three new 2-pound field guns,
which oould not be used during the
night for fear of hitting our own men,
Shelled Several Squads of Spalnnrds
after daylight. The marines, though
much exhausted, were eager for more
fighting, promising to infliot heavy
punishment. They complimented the
daring of the Spaniards with charac
teristic camp profanity.
Today the amplest precautions have
been taken. As the Dauntless was leav
ing reinforcements were landing from
the Marblehead. A stormy time was
expected.
Estimates vary as to the attacking
force, some say 200 and the figures run
as Ugh as 1,006. bolonel Campina,
the Cuban guide, said the Spaniards
were mostly irregulars, but the reports
of the discharge of Mauser rifles would
indioate that they were regulars, as
most of the guerrillas carry Reming
tons.

WASHINGTON, Jnne 14.-The first
army of invasion to Cuba is .now well
on its way, 88 transport ships,
over 10,000 officerj|and men, oonvoyed
by battleships, ontiser§, gunboats and
auxiliary flfoisers, 16 in number, hav*
ing aotually sailed from Key West a&
daybreak Monday morning. An au
thoritative statement to this effect was
made at the war department, setting
at rest all reports that the expedition
was on its way or had landed last
week. The authorities made the an*
noonoement for the reason that the
time for seofecy was now past, a*
the soout boats had made sure that thtf
path was dear before it and that no
possible menace oould come from the
Spanish Ships or Troops
even if they should know our forced
were advancing against them. With
the expedition off officials here feel
that there will be a period of compare*
tive inaction for a few days. By
Thursday at the latest the transports
will be off Santiago and a large army
will make its landing on Cuban soil.
Sampson has cleared the way for this
undertaking and little danger is appre
hended in getting ashore. It will be
after that, when the advance is made,
that actual dramatic developments
may be expected. By that time it ie
likely the American commanders will
be in direct cable communication with
the authorities here. Admiral Samp
son has taken the shore end of the
cable landing- at Guantanamo and a
force of cable experts we rapidly re
storing the line to working order.
