Spain Looks Forward. Perhaps. to q Sort
of Aiabama Case.
WASHINGTON. June 1T is learned
that the Spanish officials here are keep
ing a close watch on several supposed ex-
peditionary movements for the purpose
of furnishing Information on which to
request action by the United States gov.
ernment. One Of the expeditions is be.
lieved to have started from Philadelphia.
The suspected ships, it is said at the
Spanish legation are the George Childs
and Bridgeport.
The Spanish officials connect the move
mcnt of these ships with suspicious opc-.
ations at Dauphin and Cat islands, off the
mouth Of the Mississippi. 1t is said that
these movements are mainly the result
Of the recent arrival in the United States
of General Quesada from Venezuela, who
brought a considerable sum OF money to
aid the Cuban cause and another
sympathizer is said to have brought $50,
900 from Paris.
Apropos of the above is the following tel.
egram from London: The Standard con-
ta:ns an intimation to the effect that
| when the instruction in Cuba is ended
Spain will request the United States tc
pay part of the cost of suppressing il,
adding: There is small pretense of con.
cealment upon the part of those going tc
Cuba from the United States and the
authorities must be cognizant of it. The
country which claimed and obtained
damages from England on account of as.
sistance given to the south by armed YES
sells which were allowed to leave this
country, should be the last to allow
| armed men to leave her shores and insur
rect against Spain.

that their correspondents have received
orders from headquarters to lie without
stint about everything connected with
the growth of the silver sentiment.
In spite, however, OF their efforts the
silver movement continues to grow. Their
frantic onslaughts upon it seem to have
set the people to thinking. and it is plain
to be seen that fully 81 per cent of the
Republicans in the state are favorable to
free silver. The movement has been called

fact Is there is never has been n day, an
hour or minute when the Democracy
of Illinois was not for the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at a ratio OF Is

foreign government.
THAT this fact has not been SO ap-

SPRINGFIELD, June Wv. H. Hinrich-
sen, secretary Of state and chairman Of
the Democratic state central committee.
Is greatly pleased with the results Of
Wednesdays convention. In regard to 1t
he gave out the following for publication:
"The convention is over and has proved
a great success. The attendance was
fully as large as was expected, and the
enthusiasm displayed was all that could
be asked. The action of the convention
was just right; consequently there is
nothing to complain of in the situation.
from my point of view. We have now
completed only the first chapter of the
work we have began according to our
original intention. The state central
committee Will now start in on the ma.
tional work with our party in the state
behind us. Under the instructions of the
convention we shall ask the national
convention or conference for the same
purpose as that for which our state con.
vention was called.
National Convention Will BE Held.
'1f the national committee refuses to
do this we shall call on the state commit.

IL the people in these states ARE allowed to

thirty.flve states will participate.
The state organizations OF the different
states willing to participate will call this

subdivisions Of the states whose organiza-
tions refuse to act to send delegates di.

opinion on the money question.
Expects to Unity the Democracy.
This expression of public sentiment on
the part of the representatives Of the De-
mocracy of the United States will unity
the party on the issue, and The gold men
will find themselves in such u hopeless
minority that they will do as the hopeless
minority in this state has done, which IS
to stand off and blow about what they
will do in the future. The convention of
yesterday proves clearly that the commit.
tee was right in its estimate of the
strength of the silver men when the call
for the convention was issued We esti-
mated that % per cent. Of the Democrats
were for free silver, and that this 80 per
cent. took in the very best element Of the
party. Our convention yesterday con-
tanned more prominent representative
Democrats than any state convention that
has been held for years, and glance over
the list of delegates will show that lead.

WASHINGTON. June 9.-Another deci.
eion has been rendered by Assistant Sec.
retary Reynolds bearing on the question
Of the date Of the termination of the
civil war and the pensionabie rights OF
soldiers eniisting in 1855 and 1865. The
conclusion reached by Reynolds is that in
ali these cases the question to be ascer.
tained "a whether the enlistment of the
soldier was for service in the war of the
rebellion, or for the regular army. If the
former he is pensionabie and If the latter
he Is not Reynolds cites the various or
ders suspending enlistments for the war
and those ordering the commencement Of
eni;stments for the regular army. He
says: "As to these volunteer enlistments
IN the regular army after the cessation of
armed hostilities 1t cannot be truthfuliy
said that their enlistment was for the
war OF the rebellion"
Supreme Court Decision Not Pertinent.
In reference to the decision of the SUI.
preme court assigning Aug. 90 1866. as
the end Of the war. he says: The reasons
however. which would admit of this hold.
ing-where the right of the parties in the
cases involved might be affected by the
running of statute of limitations-can-
not be accepted 20 establish the date of
termination of the rebellion where thu
questions involved are whether an enlist.
ment was. in fact, for the war Of the r..
beilion, and the service performed there
under in furtherance Of its suppression"
The secretary. therefore. holds that en-
listment in the loyal states after April H.
1865. when recruiting in them ceased, will
not be doomed enlistments in or for the
war Of the rebellion. In the other states.
the territories, and the District of Colum-
bia, June l, 1865 will be taken as the final
date, as enlistments then ceased in those
parts of the country, and July l, 1865,
when the blockade of the southern ports
was raised, will be taken as the final date
of war enlistments for the navy.

A SPICY LETTER.
An Innocent Paragraph About One of the "n- solvent Aristocrats' Draws the Fire
 of a Creditor

A Breakfast Delicacy.-There is noth- ing more delicious than a slice of can teloupe before breakfast. IL ceols the parched tongue and ealms the heated stomach. The flavor is as sweet as nee tar. Canteloupes have been very abund- ant in the city this summer, and have formed the pro-prandial repast of the rich and the poor. South Highlander says he cuts his canteloupe half in two, fills each half with ice and then pours in a bottle of champagne. But even cham pagne cannot add to the natural flavor of the canteloupe.-Age Herald, August 2
 Birmingham, Aug. 3, 1895.
 MT. -a--, South Highlands
 Dear Sir: Enclosed find in print your interview with an Age Herald reporter and beg to advise that if you have money to blow in on champagne for breakfast you can remit me that $4.10 book account. I'll be dog gone if l am going to allow my debtors to squander my substance in riotous living, while l am forced to browZe around all the week and run to straw stack on Sundays. I earned that $4.10 by the sweat of my brow, and don't propose to sweat and draw and shuffie around here to furnish champagne for you to dump into can- teloupes. Some people think they are in great luck to get a canteloupe once a month and are then content to fill 1t with the product of the town pump, but it seems your delicate, highly cultivated palate has to be tickled with importa- tions from cellars of Arcadia. Now you pay me my $4.10, and you can tickle your blamed Chauncey ,Depew taster with anything from champagne to a hay rake for all care. I also note you are sport ing around here with parched tongue and a heated stomach. while your cred itors are forced to put up with plain nr1if Q 4 and empty belly. l suppose your tongue and stomach were both imported at my expense. I always knew this blamed free trade democratic administration would lead the people into reckless ex- travagance and patent insides. Now you can just lay one side your d-d im- portations for awhile, and sled along on a plain, home made, United States tongue and stomach, and instead of having pro-prandial repast you had better work solomon & Lewis cracker box until you square up that $40 due me. Please re- init by return mail or else put up your tongue and belly as collateral. as there ain't no more room in my book Yours trt1lU

 Little did we think years ago when Dr. Holloway, our great southern specialist, located in Birmingham and modestly an- nounced through the columns of the Her. ald that he would treat only special class of diseases that he you'd ever achieve an international reputation. To our personal knowledge from across the ocean, in far away England, they have learned Of his skill and fame and consult him. We be- lieve with the doctor that truth, merit and honor always win. He stands at the head "a pleasant gentleman, an able physician and is recognized as the leading author ity in the treatment of all private diseases. Birming gham may well be proud of him.

 No specialist in the south is more fa- miIiar with the treatment of private troubles than Dr. Y. E. Holloway. Dur ing his long residence in this city he has successfully treated many thousands of pa. tients suffering with private troubles of every conceivable form.
