SILVER DEMOCRATS SMILE.

Delighted by the Change in Secretary
Mort oss's Ttetcs.
OMAHA, NEBR., June 25.-A few weeks
ago ''sound money Democratic league
was organized here. To-day this league
issued an address signed by about 200
Democrats of the State. Heading the list
is the name of Secretary of Agriculture
]. Sterling Morton. The appearance of this
name created sensation, for the address
of the league contained an expression in
favor of international bimetallism, and
the Secretary is on record as saying,
not long ago, that the gold standard
is the only one possible: and that
the idea of international bimetallism is
nonsense. This evident change of opinion
has caused some of the friends of the Sec
rotary much Indignation, and they charge
the league with having signed his name to
the document without consulting him or
letting him know the contents of the ao-
dress. The silver Democrats are delighted
with the apparent Inconsistency of the
utterances and the league officers have not
made any statement as yet in regard to
the matter.

rather die than serve second term in
prison. Walker had been operating sue
cessfully among negro women for some
time past as a pension-claim agent, and
collected considerable amounts from them
for their claims

MEN AND SHIPS GAINED,
In Return CubanS Will Assist

ARMS SENT FROM JAMAICA.
A Swift Sailing Yacht Which Eludes
the Big Cruisers of
Spain.

NEW YORK, N. Y, June 25.-A mer-
chant who recently arrived in New York
from Kingston, Jamaica, told a reporter
Yesterday that the Cuban insurgents have
found allies among the revolutionists in
Hayti. According to his information, the
.Cubans have agreed to furnish arms and
money to General Maingat, the leader
of the Haytien revolutionists, who seek
to overthrow President Hippolyte. In
return, General Maingat has promised to
aid with men and ships the Cuban struggle
for independence. 1t is claimed that the
steps taken by President Cleveland and
the State Department to prevent the ship
ment of supplies and arms to insurgents in
Cuba has fastened the negotiations between
the revolutionist parties in Hayti and Cuba.
"Under the agreement just concluded, u
said the informant, "Hayti will doubtless
become a headquarters for the Cuban
patriots. Should General Maingat over
throw Hippolyte and succeed to the Hay
ten presidency, he can throw into the
Cuban cause an army of 10000 men and a
feet of four warships. Maingat is a strong
candidate for the presidency, but has no
money; hence his alliance with the Cuban
lHSuTStHtS.
There are about 500 Cuban patriots in
Jamaica, also a number of British subjects
of Cuban birth who have business inter-
ests and relatives in Cuba. The Cuban
leaders in Jamaica are under instructions
from the patriotic circle in New York, and
great deal of money contribu-
ted to the Cuban cause is for
warded here. Jamaica is the medium
through which many communications
are sent from Cuban insurgents to
American sympathizers, and through
which funds are sent to the front. Com
munication between Cuba and Jamaica is
kept up by means OF small, fast-sailing
yacht, which makes the passage between
the two islands in one night. The landing
in Jamaica is made at Buff Bay, small
seaport on the northern coast, and from
there messenger proceeds to Kingston by
train. On the return passage the yacht
generally carries consignment of ammu-
milton, gold and half dozen patriots"
