Attempt Made to Put Havana In Dark
ness and other Acts.
TAMPA, Fla, April IA large number
of passengers arrived by the steamer
Mascot this evening from Havana.
Among them the details of the late events
in connection with the revolution were
learned. A Cuban makes the statement
that an effort was made last Wedne sday
night to plunge Havana into darkness by
cutting the electric wires at the central
lighting station, in the next building to
which was stored quantity of powder.
Tho wire-cutting attempters were sur
prised by soldiers and the police and W ere
Obliged to flee. Kerosene cans, well
filled and other incendiary material were
found where the attempters had been
working near the powder storage. The
supposition is that as soon as the city had
become dark the powder was to have been
exploded and other insurrectionary acts
done.
During tho stay of the steamer at Key
West tho Havana passengers learned OF
| the belief among the Key West sympa-
| thizers that plan was on foot to assas-
sinatc Martinez Campos on his arrival al
Havana. This plan was being matured
ON the assumption that Campos will land

WASHINGTON, April 7.-Secretary Nor
ton thinks the purpose of the English
government in sending battleship to the
Nicaraguan coast is to enforce the demand
which will soon be made for indemnifica-
ton on account OF the expulsion of Con :
sui Hatch. and 1t is believed tho Royal
Arthur will take the matter In hand and
secure the decentralization by collecting
the customs due from the Nicaraguan inn
ports.
In that event he thinks Nicaragua's
wisest course would be to convene her
congress and pass a law for the admission
of all importations free of duty. In con-
ciusion he said: THE other nations
would never consent that their exporters
to Nicaragua should pay duty to Epgland
in the absence of tariff in Nicaragua
aud England's policy would be effectively
blocked"

MIR. DUBOIS sTAYENENT.
They Are Said to BE Unjuat to Indian
Agent Teter.


A. B. Hover and w. w. Teter, brother of
Indian Agent Thos. B. Teter OF the Fort
Hall agency, are in this city. Eoth Mr..
Hover and Mr.. Teter are indignant at the
statements Of Senator Dubois made in an
interview published in The Star Monday.
To Star reporter today Messrs. Hover
and Teter said that Mr.. Dubois has been
fighting Agent Teter ever since his nomina-
ton for the place he now occupies, his chief
objection to him, they allege. being that he
cannot use him for his own political and
other purposes. They claim that the causes
Of discomfort among the Bannacks have
been the encroachments of the whites. and
the extortion practiced by the Idaho Canal
Go. This company, they aliege. charged
the Indians $3.50. or over $40 per acre. for
price for such service, where there is COM
and frequently Is as low as 30 cents. This
year the Idaho Canal Co. wants for this
service, they say, $3.50. Mr.. Teter and MIR.
Hover further allege that Senator Dubois
wishes to have a contract for building a
canal let to a certain contractor, who, they
say, would then be able to employ from 400
to 500 men during the time when Mr.. Du-
bois will seek a reelection, and by this
means to advance his cause. Agent Teter,
they say, has refused to approve the acts
of the Idaho Canal Co., and for that reason
is being prosecuted by Senator Dubois
They say that Mr. Dubois statement that
the agent had granted the Indians passes
was incorrect

pounds of dynamite, two small cannon and

The Department of State has not been ad.
vised of the landing of the exneditions. In
lieve that these stories are put afoat for
the sake of their morally discoura cling eff

there is reason to think that it was news
of the intended departure OF these very ex-
petitions that caused SO much activity in
the cabinet a fortnight ago, and caused the

that the U.S.S. Raleigh spent some time in

Influences that operate with Kentucky
voters are sometimes very queer. ones.
Mr.. G. w. Castle, custodian of dies and
plates of the bureau of engraving and
printing, and a native of the blue grass
state, related last night an experience that
he had in Kentucky just previous to Mr.
Blackburn's last nominate for the United

vote for Mr.. Blackburn on that occasion.

would receive the solid labor union vote
He did so. and was elected by large ma
jority. Some time after that I met VAN
hoose, and asked him who he was going to
vote for for the United States Senate.
He said that Blackburn was his man,
and I asked him to explain why he had
chosen to vote for Mr.. Blackburn.
Because he pulled Chambers ears

incident that took place in a committee
room at the Capitol about five years ago
when 1t was reported that Mr.. Blackburn

Three motley assemblages of people in

POLITICS IN VIRGINIA
A Modification of the Efforts of the Free
Silver Men.
How the Financial Question May En-
ter Into the Coming Contest for
Senator Daniels Successor.

Advices from Virginia through trust
worthy political sources indicate that the
contest between sound money and free sill
yer is proceeding, but in rather a subdued
manner. The return of business prosperity
and unusually good crops have thrown the
discussion of the financial question tempo
rarily in the background. The parties are
lining up, however, for a renewal of the
contest few weeks hence, when the cam
paign is fairly open.
The Senatorial Contest.
The excuse for agitating the silver ques-
ton at this time comes about through the
election of some seventeen members of the
upper house of the legislature who will
vote upon the election of Senator Daniels
successor when his term expires. The mem
bers of the lower house to be chosen at the
same time will have no voice in the selec-
ton of Senator, as their tenure of Office will
have ended before that event occurs. Sem
ator Daniel is a candidate to succeed him.
self and stands squarely and openly upon
free coinage basis 1t is reported that ex-
Gov. Titz Hugh Lee Is suspected of enter
tanning the ambition to be the sound money
candidate while it is thought possible that
Gov O'Ferrsll may also enter the race. 1t
is said that Gen. Lee has not up to this
time endeavored to use his Office as col
lector of internal revenue, recently con-
ferred upon him by President Cleveland. Tor
political purposes
Efforts of the Silver Men.
One feature of The financial campaign in
Virginia is what might be called a modifi-
caticn of the efforts of the free silver peo-
pie They are now inclined to devote their
best endeavors to attempts to prevent
further contraction of The currency by lhe
sound money men, or the gold ring" as
they are termed. The free silver leaders
claim that while they are for unlimited
culating medium, the fact must not be lost
sight of that everything must be done to
prevent a further contraction of the cur
rency that now exists.
They charge the sound money people with
trying to retire all forms of money until
there is nothing left but gold and national
bank notes redeemable in gold. A cam
paign to defeat this alleged object of the
gold ring and to secure the repeal of the
10 per cent tax on state banks is likely to
take the place of radical free silver agita-
ton. In the sixth congressional district
Representative Otey is trying to call
convention to emphasize this policy.
Populists Gone to Pieces.
It Is said the ropulists have gone to
pieces in Virginia, and will not figure in
the campaign for the legislature to any ex-
tent. The fight will be a straight-out con-
test between the democrats and republi-
cans, with honest elections as the issue
raised by the republicans The Walton
election law is opposed by the republicans,
democrats unanimously. In fact, there is
said to be strong probability of some dis
tricts sending democratic ieg;sla tors pledg-
ed to vote for the repeal of the law.

GEN. HARRIsoN'S CANDIDACY
Mr.. Michener Says He Will Continue His
Silence for Six Months Longer.
Whatever is Being Done, More Dfscre-
ton is Being Used Than Just
After Mr.. Ellztns' Trip.

Mr.. L. T. Michener, eX-attorney general
of Indiana and close personal and politi-
cal friend of ex-President Harrison, is
maintaining a profound silence on the
subject Of presidential preferences for
1896. Mr.. Michener is generally regarded
as the man most likely to be acquainted
with the intentions of the ex-President, as
for many years the two worked together in
the greatest harmony in all political mat
ters. Mr.. Michener was seen today by a
Star reporter and asked II he could state
the probable attitude of Mr.. Harrison on
the question of the nomination. Mr. Mich
ener replied:
The Silence to Continue.
For the past year I have purposely
maintained strict silence on this subject.
and my intention is to continue that ST.
lence at least during the coming six
months"
Another close friend of Mr.. Harrison, in
conversation today. said: 1T think Mr..
Harrison has concluded that great mis-
take in his campaign for the nomination
might easily be made by having his can
strongly long before the day when the
convention is called upon to act. For
this reason am inclined to think he wish
es to have his friends say little or nothing
aCOut MS CanQlQaCy lOF the presidency
except that they will do nothing to place
him out Of the field.
A New York Conference.
after Senator-elect Elkins made his
western trip and then held a conference
with Harrison and Platt in New York city
the idea became very general that the
Harrison boom was being pushed along at
a rapid rate, and that there was an inten-
tion to railroad Mr.. Harrison into the
nomination after the fashion of a snap
convention. The indignation which this
course inspired has never been stated with
its full force. At the time ex-senator
Warner Miller gave vent to some sharp
criticism concerning it, and other 10 less
prominent men in the republican ranks
who were not favora BILE to Mr.. Harrison s
candidacy Endorsed what Mr.. Miller said.
There wss a feeling that might have be-
come very bitter hal not the Harrison
men gotten together and endeavored in
the future to make less display in advocat-
ing the candidacy of their favorite.''
More Care in the Future.
There is no feeling among republicans
that Mr.. Harrison is less a candidate today
for presidential honors than he was a cou-
pie of months ago. but there is a feeling
that the campaign In his favor will be
waged with more caution.
