By the time the executive board is through with it it is expected it will be shorn of all superfluities and lit to be a guide book for the organization.

ATTRACTS THRONGS YET ♦ THOUSANDS SAW “BATTLE OF MANILA” LAST NIGHT. - The Spectacle Something of a Disappointment—Charges of Mismanagement of the State Fair. * Another big crowd of people went out last night to see the "Battle of Manila.” The size of the crowds Wednesday and last night of the crowds "Wednesday and last night showed how extensively an autumn spectacle of high grade would be patronized in Indianapolis each year, but it is doubtful if such throngs can be lured to these entertainments in the future unless something superior to the “Battle of Manila” is presented. A further grievance against the State Board of Agriculture management, held by thousands of people, wae the promise that spectators who paid the ordinary price of admission could see the spectacle. To each end of the grand stand last night were acres of faces, straining to catch a view of the exhibitions in front of the grand stand. It was practically impossible for these people to see, and they had to content themselves in waiting till the skyrockets were sent up. These they could see, because there was no obstruction in the heavens. Those who paid an extra fee to get in the grand stand had a good view of the show, but there was a great disappointment over the insignificance of the affair, as compared to the “Last Days of Pompeii” and other shows of the same character given before in Indianapolis. Four or live long strips of painted canvas represent the deep blue sea and the surroundings of Manila harbor. The Empire Theater has much more pretentious scenery. The enthusiast in looking at the picture must not see the supers and others who walk between the canvas strips, giving the appearance of human heads bobbing up and down in a quiet sea. Nor must he observe the white tents and stables just over the edge of the Island of Corregidor. The battle ships were good and somewhat more pretentious than the skiffs on the canal at Fairview Park, although not so formidable as the launches at Broad Ripple. Ladders, posts for acrobats and other obstructions are placed in front of the picture, possibly to give the idea of great distance, just as a brook seems farther away when looking at it through the interlacing trees. The acrobatic specialties at “General Augusti’s Fete”—how grandiloquent sounds the phrase—might be jeered if given at the Empire, where the gallery gods are fastidious in their taste. § The management which has characterized the fair in recent years is apparent again this year. The immoral shows have been eliminated. This year the board issued numerous passes for courtesies extended to it and then promptly refused to honor these passes, requiring those presenting the same to pay an admission fee. The newspaper passes were included in these and country editors and even the reporters from the Indianapolis papers who went out to write up the affair were required to pay, although they presented the passes issued by Secretary Kennedy. Os course there was no intention on the part of the board that such a circumstance should arise, but that it did only illustrates the executive mismanagement for which the fair has been criticised from year to year. Secretary Kennedy’s attention w r as called to the embarrassment occasioned by this cavalier treatment of those holding passes Wednesday night, but last night the ticket takers were again refusing to admit those who did not hold the pasteboards purchased at the box office. It may be difficult to secure columns of gratuitous space from i..e country editors next year. "The Indiana state fair,” said one citizen last night in speaking of the spectacle, “needs a business manager, one man in w’hose hands the management should be placed, the same as a theater or any other enterprise catering to the public. It is not fair to ask the Legislature to appropriate money for this institution and have it conducted on such a plane. When thousands of people come here from over the State to an institution supported largely by the State, and find such wretched entertainment for their money they naturally grow prejudiced against the city of Indianapolis, and without reasoning think the city has some hand in the matter, advertising great promises in order to get people to come here and spend money with the merchants. The merchants owe it to their trade to see that reforms are instituted in the State Board of Agriculture.” The grounds last night w'ere a sea of mud and people who went out came home with bedraggled garments. The Monon ran a special train in after the performance.

STATE FAIR ATTENDANCE. A Good-Sized Crowd Yesterday, Although There Wna Rain. Considering the bad weather, the attendance at the state fair yesterday was good. It was aggravatingly good to the management of the fair, as it was an indication of what the crowd would have been under better conditions. It may be that the rain was a good thing for the business men, as it kept people downtown who otherwise would have gone to the fair, and the stores were swarming all day. In spite of all these conditions, however, the attendance at the fair was about 10,000, Secretary Kennedy said. On account of the rains all races vere postponed. It looked last night as though there could be no racing, although the management said if it did not rain through the night and this forenoon it might be possible to have races this afternoon. There was talk of continuing the fair over Saturday, but after a meeting of the board it was decided the fair should end to-night at 11 o’clock, as originally intended. The wet weather has demonstrated one thing, and that is that the race track will have to be resurfaced. Speaking of the heavy condition of the track yesterday afternoon, Charles Downing, president of the State Board of Agriculture, said the only way to improve the track would be to resurface it. Most of the tracks in the country fair grounds are made of a material that will dry out in an hour or an hour and a half after the sun comes out. It is not so with the track here. It is of a gumbo that cakes on the wheels of the sulkies, and is provokingly slow in drying. In dry weather the track is most excellent, but for use during threatening weather it ought to be one that would dry quickly. It is possible that something will be done with it before the next fair. “It used to be,” said Mr. Downing, “that racemen carried high-wheeled sulkeys for wet weather, but that plan has been abandoned entirely. They will not go on this track when it is wet. They say that their horses slip and slide on it, besides which the clay gathers on the wheels, locking them. They use nothing but the low, pneu-matic-tired sulkeys, now.” Whether the fair will be a financial success, Mr. Downing could not say yesterday. “We still have another day,” he said, “and if it is fair the situation may brighten up. If possible we will give some races tomorrow (Friday,), and try to give the people a good show yet. Every one seems pleased. Men who have been ut other fairs this season say that ours is the best. We have been well treated by the newspapers, which have taken into consideration the difficulties we have had to meet.” THEY RAN FOR THE BUILDINGS. The crowds began arriving at the fair grounds yesterday morning very early. When the rain began they gathered in the big buildings, thousands spending the time in the art, agricultural, fioricultural and pet stock buildings, where they had more leisure to observe the exhibits than ordinarily. There were whole families, many of which had driven into the fair grounds from the surrounding country, hitching their horses over west of the race track. Since Sunday a number of sideshows have been put up in the west part of the grounds. They appeared to have nothing objection-

able, and, while no better than the ordinary fair attractions of that sort, they were pretty w'ell patronized yesterday, and did considerable to amuse the crowds. One of the most provoking things about the weather has been that while it has rained in the early part of the day. toward evening it has cleared off, too late for the attendance to be better. Wednesday w r as the only exception, and that was the day before the low rates over the railroads were in force, so that the crow'ds from the country were not large. Last evening about the time the crowds were getting ready to go home the sun burst out brightly from behind the clouds. One of the attractions for the visitors yesterday was Camp Mount, with its 3,000 volunteer soldiers. All day the crowds wandered through the company streets. At 5 o’clock there was a great throng of spectators near the headquarters of the One-hundred-and-fifty-eighth, where a small parade ground was used for guard mount. Some of the veterans of ’6l in the crowd stood about explaining the maneuvers of the details of the companies as they fell into place and the sergeants reported to the sergeant major. A burst of sunlight flared in the faces of the young soldiers and gleamed from their gun barrels into the eyes of a great crowd of state fair visitors who had congregated in the grand stand some distance away, to watch the military movements. No arrangements have been made by which visitors to the fair can get into the camps without paying at the gate, and the soldiers are some of them complaining that they are cut off from their friends. Throngs of the soldiers were among the civilians in the fair buildings yesterday, and country peqrde, who are less accustomed to the blue uniforms and bright brass buttons than residents of Indianapolis, could not forbear to gaze after them, especially when some lieutenant or captain in nobby clothes passed by. with a pretty girl at his side. The “battle of the breeds” was a feature of the fair that attracted much attention from stock breeders yesterday afternoon. A large crowd in the grand stand looked on with interest when the cattle were lined up and the judges went about awarding sweepstake ribbons to the animals that showed the most fine points, regardless of breed. —* PREMIUMS AWARDED.

The Monon and the Lake Erie & Western both discharged their passengers directly at the fair grounds, while the other roads were compelled to carry theirs to the Union Station. All the outgoing trains last night carried hundreds of passengers. After the theaters closed and the crowds came down town from the fair grounds, where they had witnessed the "Battle of Manila,” there was a great Jam at the Union Station and the station men had about as much as they could do for several hours. Crowds at the Hotels. In spite of the additional hotel accommodation offered by the enlargement of English’s Hotel and the unfavorable weather, which has kept thousands of people away from the city during state fair week, the hotels are filled to their capacity and the managers have been studying how to take care of the hosts of visitors who have come in every night for rooms. Fully one-third of the g-uests now at the hotels are compelled to sleep on cots set up in the banquet halls and meeting rooms, as all the regular sleeping rooms are filled to overflowing. All the hotels are practically in the same condition in spite of the statements of some people that there are not as many people in the city this year as during the fair last year. Among the cheaper hotels the accommodations are not so limited, indicating that either the visitors to the fair are more plentifully supplied with money than they were last year or that there is a different class of patronage altogether. W'hatever the cause may be, the fact remains that every night people are turned away from all the high-priced hotels for lack of room.

GEN. BLANCO’S VILLAINY * . SHOW* THAT HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR CERVERA’S DEFEAT. He Ordered the Admiral to Leave SantitiKO Harbor \\ hen an Immediate Reverse A\a* Certain. Washington Letter in St. Louis Globe-Dem-ocrat. The following stateinent concerning Admiral Ceivera and his Cape Verde fleet, which was destroyed just outside of Santiago harbor by the American fleet on July 3, and some inside information of the transactions which were going on between the Spanish admiral, Captain General Blanco and the Madrid government during the time that Cervera was bottled up in Santiago harbor, was given out to-day from a Spanish authority which is unquestionable, and upon which the highest reliance can be placed. It shows the rupture between Admiral Cervera and General Blanco which the destruction of the former's fleet has occasioned, and the facts and circumstances from a Spanish standpoint which led to the disaster to the Spanish navy, as well as places the blame by the navy upon General Blanco for the loss of the ships. It is upon the lines laid down in the following statement that Admiral Cervera will lay his case before the officials at Madrid, and the whole blame for the Spanish disaster will be charged to the stubbornness, willfulness and incompetency of General Blanco: “The full truth concerning what led to the destruction of the magnificent Cape Verde fleet,” says this authority, "has never yet been told, and the time has come when certain facts which have been heretofore withheld should be made public. It is true that Admiral Cervera and his officers may be court-martialed upon their reaching Spain, and, upon conviction, it is also true that they could be shot, if the authorities, those composing the court-mar-tial, or the government, saw fit to impose such a penalty. However, such a catastrophe is not looked for. It will not occur, and, when all the facts are plainly set forth, and the blame placed where it belongs, it will be clearly shown that Admiral Cervera acted like the wise and sagacious admiral that he is, and he and his officers and crew will be completely exonerated. Notwithstanding this, their situation at present, upon their approaching Spain, is critical, and it may be safely said that the high standing of Admiral Cervera’s family, all being of royal blood, will not save him from the court-martial. Public opinion has been inflamed against him in Spain through gross misrepresentations, through falsehood and conspiracy of those who seek to shift the blame for the loss of the Spanish ships from their own shoulders to the shoulders of Admiral Cervera. Their erring deeds, unfaithfulness and treachery, which were entirely responsible for the disaster, they would place upon those who are innocent, and who, if allowed to exercise their own wisdom and discretion, would have saved for Spain the pride of her navy. CERVERA’S MOVEMENTS.

“It is untrue that Admiral Cervera, after leaving the Cape Verde islands and reaching Western waters, w’as seeking to avoid the American fleet and flying here and there to avoid a fight. Naturally, his plans were different from those laid out for him to follow by the American board of strategy, for he was endeavoring to separate the American fleet and engage them separately. He w’anted to meet and fight them singly, but his misfortune would not permit him to do that. When he was nearly without coal, and being in need of some sl’Vht repairs to his ships, he naturally put into Santiago, expecting there to find supplies to make what few’ repairs were needed, got provisions and proceed further. But there he was greatly disappointed. Through tho interference of General Blanco he w’as prevented from carrying out his plans, and the whole world knows the rest. General Bianco immeditely communicated to Spain, and asked the minister of marine to place Admiral Cervera and his fleet under his (Blanco’s) orders, making various representations and explaining the necessity of such action from his standpoint. His request w’as finally granted. It was simply a deep, diabolical trick on the part of General Blanco. He foresaw,’ disaster somewhere, and in case it should come he wanted to have someone high in authority upon whom he could place a portion, if not all of the blame for any loss which might accrue to Spain and for which he would be held responsible. “General Bianco ordered Cervera to remain in Santiago and assist in the defense of the shore batteries. Admiral Cervera protested strongly against this, and appealed to Spain. It is doubtful if his appeal ever reached the government. He asked to be allowed to coal tip and then leave Santiago, where he might be free to meet the American fleet, rather than to be bottled up in a blockaded harbor. ITe contended that he could not possibly be useful to Spain by remaining in Santiago harbor with the certainty of American ships coming to keep him there, whereas, outside and free, his strong fleet could be of great value to the Spanish cause. The answer of Gen. Blanco was that Admiral Cervera was now subject to his orders, and that he and not Admiral Cervera, was in command of affairs in Cuba, and that the admiral must obey his commands. Cervera could then do nothing. “After the Merrlmac affair, wrhich made the name of Lieutenant Hobson immortal and made Admiral Cervera, by his kindly treatment of the prisoner, well regarded by Americans when he came to be a prisoner himself, Cervera was fully aware that he could still get. out of Santiago harbor if given permission to do so. His immediate investigation showed that the channel was r.ot entirely closed and that his ships could pass out. Finally, when full aware that the strong American fleet were waiting for him outside of the harbor, as he was completely posted of the movements of the Americans at all times, he concluded that he would do his best to defend the city, as it would at that time be certain destruction to attempt to run out of the harbor, for the time to escape had already passed, and lie became resigned to do his best.

BLANCO’S VILLAINY. “Then one night an order came to him from General Blanco to be ready to saii out of the harbor within twenty-four hours, and setting 1 o’clock in the morning for the time of departure, when, it was argued by Gen. Blanco, the Americans would be taken by surprise and probably off their guard, and the escape could be made. Admiral Cervera protested strongly against this, maintaining that the American commanders were too shrewd not to double and treble their guard at night, and pointed out to Genera: Blanco that 1 o’clock in the morning would be a very bad time to start, if indeed he should insist upon the order to get out of the harbor. Admiral Cervera did not know at that time of the villainy of Blanco in telegraphing to Madrid, asking that Cervera be removed from command of the fleet and Commodore Villimil be placed in command. Then later, when the fleet was destroyed, he sent another telegram, stating that It was the fault of the minister of marine in not heeding his advice and granting his request to remove Cervera. Bianco was fully aware that to leave Santiago meant the destruction of the fleet, and he wanted to again shift the blame, and so made the request for the change, which he knew would not and could not be made: but he nevertheless had an excuse and someone to blame for not accepting his counsel. Gen. Blanco knew that the action which he ordered must mean the destruction of the fleet, and he actually hoped and believed that It would mean the death of Admiral Cervera, so that, dead, he could not make answer to the charges which Blanco proposed to make against him. “The same vile treachery of General Blanco is shown in his conduct toward General Toral. whom he first ordered to surrender the city when it became actually necessary to do so and the siege could no longer be endured, and then publicly accused him of cowardice when he and his command laid down their arras in honorable surrender. “Every one of Admiral Cervera’s crew, officers and men, knew that in attempting to escape from Santiago harbor at the time they did meant not only the loss of their vessels, but probably death to them. They knew that the course they were entering upon by order of Gen. Blanco was one of suicide, and all expected to find graves at the bottom of the sea. The fleet would not have attempted the escape had it not been for the command of Blanco, and the only concession which Admiral Cervera could obtain from the captain general was a changed time of departure. It is true that Admiral Cervera and some of his officers and crew attempted to escape by swimming to the shore, but there they found another obstacle and were tired upon by a force of men whom It was afterwards learned were Cubans under command of Col. Candelaria Cebrecns. The Spaniards have no cause for complaint at the treatment received at their hands, for when the rank of their prisoners was ascertained they were taken to the. Cuban camp and afterward* surrendered to the
