Gen. E. B, FindIay of Bucyrus offered
resolution of Endorsement of the Monroe

cases. 1t was referred, and long discus
sion followed on reconsdering this action.
The resolution being under consideration,

fend it.
Gen. Findlay insisted that any encroach-
ment on American soil should be met by

CUBANS AS BELLIGERENTS.
They Hope Soon to BE Recognized in
That Attitude.


Spanish residents in New York were
considerably worked up over the report
that Thomas Estrada Palma, president Of
the Cuban revolutionary party in this
country, intended to ask the United States
government to recognize the recently Or
ganized republic of Cuba and to grant
belligerent rights to the insurgents.
President Palma, when seen yesterday
afternoon, said that such an announce
ment was premature, as the provincial
government was not yet thoroughly or
ganized and the insurgents were not in
possession of a seaboard town. While he
would not disclose his intentions, it was
quite evident that he believed that the
United States would at the proper time
recC gnize the attitude of belligerency as
sumed by the insurgents.
Senior De Traijello, Spanish consul said
that Spain would not give up the fight un-
til the instruction should be absolutely
queled.
Troops are now on the way from Spain"
continued the consul, land when the dead
ly rainy season ends the last blow will be
given to the Instruction.
There will not be time to talk of bel
ligerent rights, to obtain which they must
prove that they have all the conditions
required by international law, which is so
strictly observed by all civilized countries

MARYLAND POPULISTS.

Editor Cunning Attacked by Rev.
Walter VrOOmnn.
The Maryland populist state convention
net at Baltimore yesterday with about fif-
ty delegates present. Rev. Walter Nrooman
called the convention to order at IL o'clock,
and Samuel &. Feirst was chosen temper
airy chairman.
A sharp contest arose over the organiza-
ton of committees, particularly that on
resolutions.
Mr.. N. A. Dunning, editor of the Watch
man. national organ of the labor party,
urged that the platform be confined to true
populist principles, and that it embrace not
more than three short and clear planks.
Rev. Walter Vrooman. representing the
socialistic element in the convention, ac-
cused Cunning of coming to the convention
to prevent the nomination of q ticket.
Dunning responded that he had said, cas-
ually. that the old parties were SO strongly
entrenched that it was useless to nominate
populist ticket.
1t developed that Dunning headed the ele-
ment favor able to plank for free coinage
of silver at 16 to 1, while Rev. Vrooman
represented the element favorable to gov
eminent ownership CT railways, telegraphs,
etc. along socialistic lines.
The discussion brought out that Delegate
Rurchard had written letter favorable to
the republican state ticket.
The convention took recess pending the
reports of committees.
Upon reassembling, the committee on
resolutions presented a report which in
dorsed the Omaha, platform of the populist
party, declared against free silver, i'll favor
of reform in the oyster laws and of prop
erty reassessment.
Editor Dunning and friends opposed tho
declaration against free silver, but were
voted down by a large majority, and the re-
port was adopted Editor Dunning with
drew from the convention.
The following ticket was then unanimous
Nv chosen: For governor. Henry T. An

controller, S. H. Gibson of Crisfeld. somer-
set county. B. w: SAlorris of Wicomico
