New York. April 16.-A dispatch from
London says: The executive committee
of the independent labor party, or the
socialistic wing of English labor politics,
has awaited itself of the Easter holidays
to placard the city, and especially the
working class residence portion, with a
call for a great demonstration in Hyde
Park on the first OF May, ito protest
against the deadly system under which
you are dying daily" The manifesto says
among other things. "You are hidden,
not simply by us, your English fellow
workers, but by the voice of the organized
workers of the world to make yourself
heard in a demand for those immediate
political and social reforms which will
lead to the ultimate end of the working
class movement-the abolition of capt.

The English workers are rapidly falling
into line with their continental brethren
in the great battle against the capitals
tic class. We are rapidly approaching
the skirmish line for we have had hard
winter and the chronic disease has been
very acute. We appeal to you directly,
therefore, to turn out on May /, and de-
monstrate to the ruling powers that you
are determined to force this question"

NORTHERN PACIFIC CLAIMS VOID
The Government Retains Possession OF
Occur d'Alene Lands.

Washington, April 16.-Secretary Smith
has decided adversely to the claim of the
Northern Pacific railroad to lands lying in
Idaho, within the limits of it's grant, but
which were subsequently withdrawn by
proclamation, and formed into a part of
the Occur d'Alene Indian reservation.
More recently the Indians ceded the lands
back to the United States, and congress
confirmed the cession. The Northern Pa
cihc railroad claimed this decision revived
its original rights to these lands.
"ONERLAP" LAND CASES.
Portland, Or, April 1.-THE overlap
land case of the government against the
Southern Pacific came up for a hearing
before United States Circuit Judge Gill
bert. The case involves over 1900, 900 acres
of land in Multnomah and Clackamas
counties, and arose over the grants of
lands made by the government to the
Northern Pacific railroad company and
the oregon & California railway company.
In 1864 the government granted a strip of
land 40 miles wide through states and 50
miles wide through territories to the
Northern Pacific. This strip ran from the
great lakes to Puget sound. The provi-
sion was made in the act for a tract along
a branch line to be built from a point 300
miles or less east of the Puget sound ter
minal to Portland. That point was fixed
at Wallulu in eastern Washington.
In 1888 grant was made to the Oregon
u CalIOrnla (slnce absorbed by the South
ern Pacific) from Portland to the Califor-
mia boundary, consequently, the two
grants are said to overlap" at Portland
and in Clackamas and Nultnomah coun-
ties.

LETTER ON THE REVOLT IN CUBA
General Campos Regards 1t as Danger.
Gus Guerrilla Warfare.


Tampa, Fla, April 1.-THE following
letter written by General Campos in 1873
is of interest in view of the fact that in
dividuals mentioned in it are now virtu-
ally in identically the same positions with
respect to the revolution as they were at
the date of the letter.
ITO His Excellency, Camoas del Cas-
tillo, Cuba, March 49, 1s7S-My Dear Pres
ident and Friend: BY mail / send the.
war department copies of orders. letters
and Geographic conversations which have
taken place since the question of the sur
render of Camaguey was initiated. This
affair." difficult indeed to solve If there
were any means of communication in Gu
ba, has been still more so because no
communication has been possible with
the enemy's camps, where no explanation
can reach, where a mulatto commands
who was a driver yesterday and who to-
day is a general He has immense ambi-
ton, great courage and prestige, and I'M
der his rude cover hides natural talent.
Nothing has been practicable to hope of
the chamber of government, notwth-
standing he did not consent to see Max
imo Gomez but to slight him, as l learned
afterward, he pretended to see me in or
der to fool me. And this is not the worst
part, but he has been able to convince
Vincente Garcia, attacking him on the
side of honor and making Garcia change
his conduct, Notwithstanding he wishes
for peace.
ITO stay him over, Maceo has yielded
his command to him, but only apparently.
Maceo enjoys great prestige among his
followers and will not give up until it
pleases him. This has been the great
drawback; great advantage has been OBJ
tanned, but this is not sufficient. 1t is
necessary to finish because the financial
situation is unbearable.
This war can not be called such It's
a hunt in deadly climate for us, I'm a
country that is a desert. We find the food
injurious, while the natives find enough
to eat where we can not obtain a sweet
potato. They are accustomed to the life
Of the savage, to go naked, or almost
naked. They have the strength and in
stinct of wild beasts, both in attacking or
retreatng. When we least think of it
we pass by their side, not seeing them.
When Maceo was wounded he threw him
self from his litter, went hiding in the
woods, and the litter was picked up a
kilometer away.
Il have had more confidence in politics
than in arms, and although 1 distrusted
Maceo, l hope to leave with him very
little support. The state Of the treasury

MACEO WAS NOT KILLED.

BIG STORMS IN THE MIDDLE WEST
An Area From Colorado 10 Northern
Texas Has Been Affeeted.

Texas Has Been AIIcctcd.
Kansas City. April ia storm of great
severity passed over eastern Colorado,
Kansas, Oklahoma and the southwest
generally last night and yesterday.
For a short time last evening Denver
was reached on a very shaky wire, but
after thirty minutes the wire failed, and
since that time no word has been received
or sent into Denver direct over the tele-
graph wires. The storm covered a wide
area, the Denver wires via Omaha also
being down. In south Kansas and Okla
homa much damage was done to crops.
A peculiar feature of the storm was
the intense darkness and the extraordi-
nary electrical display. The atmosphere
was surcharged with electricity and sew
eral persons and horses were stunned and
shocked. In the western part of Oklaho-
ma and the panhandle Egyptian darkness
prevailed. Such a peculiar storm has
seldom been seen, and the superstitious
thought the astronomical conditions
which, it has been claimed by South Car
DINA minister, are now repeating them
selves for the first time since the death of
Christ, had something to do with it. Rain
that fell in western Oklahoma was actu-
ally a shower of mud.
