Serious Charges,

New York, July 1.-Segduno
Alvarez, Mayor of Havana, Cuba.
arrived this morning inNew York
city. He makes serions charges
against the United States Gov
eminent in regard to the neutra-
lily laws. He says:
1.-THE Government and people
of the United States are either
blind or ignorant regarding the
present revolution in Cuba. Your
President has issued a proclama-
ton, enforcing the neutrality
laws, but indirect violation of
these laws you permit daily.
You allow military drills to take
place at Key West and at Tampa,
Fla. You do not intend to aid
the insurgents directly, but you
tolerate the drilling of military
companies within your territory
to aid the insurgents against your
good faith in your treaty with
Spain. OF course the people and
the Government of the United
States are not entirely to blame
for this state of affairs. There
are a great manv Cutans, promi-
nent in business and politics.
who come to your country and
become citizens simply for the
purpose of arousing friendly
sentiment here. They do not re-
nounce their citizenship in Cuba.
The present war may last one OF
even two years longer, but Spain
will win in the end. The princi-
pal opposition comes from sym~
pathizers in the United States. I
speak from p Spanish standpoint
for I was born in the province of
in Spain. 1 own the
largest cigar factory in Havana,
and all we property holders hope
that Spain will succeed in putting
down the rebellion.

Horrible Butchery.

Richmond, Va, July "A
boswell special to the Dispatch
says: A horrible wife murder
and attempt at suicide, which
will prove successful, occurred
about $50 o'clock this morning
at Dawn, in Caroline County Just
eight miles from here. Edgar
Phillips, a rather worthless but
peaceable white man, with his
wife and son have lived for some
time about one hundred yards
from Mrs. E.. Y. Seay's store, OF
Dawn. This morning about the
time mentioned screams were
heard at Phillips house. Mr..
James Head went to the house
and found Mrs. Phillips dead.
She had been stabbed and hor-
ribly mutilated by her husband.
Near the wife lay the husband,
who had cut open his abdomen
in several places. The third vic
tim was the ten-year-old son,
whose stomach was cut open, and
who was stabbed through the
arm.
The boy related that breakfast
was prepared and placed on the
table. and the family was seated.
The boy left the room a moment,
and while he was out his mother
went to the fireplace to attend to
something. His father followed
her, and while she was STOPPING.
threw her backward and slashed
her in a dozen places. The son
grabbed a shovel and struck his
father. who then turned upon
and cut him as above stated.
After this Phillips turned his
bloody knife upon himself, in~
ficting such CHASTITY wounds in
his stomach that he collapsed i'm
mediately and was unable to
move. DR.. Pollard was summon
ed and sewed up the boys wound.
Phillips refused to be atteded by
the physician and when an eff
fort was made to relieve him, he
rolled upon the ground and pre-
vented anything being done to
save his life.
l. The physician says be will die
before morning. No reason is
assigned for this butchery. The
family have lived peaceabl.y,
and this tragic incident was a
great surprise. The boy will
recover.
Mrs. Phillips was an industri-
Gus woman and supported the
family principally by her own
efforts.

Free Coinage,

A subscriber in Black Rock
Ark, asks the Republic to explain
in precise terms what is mean,
by free coinage.
Free coinage of gold now ex'
lists. Any private person car
take gold bullion to the minis
and receive in exchange q coined
gold dollar for every 25.8 grains
of standard gold in his bullion.
If his bullion is above standard
the mint officers may charge fol-
the alloy. Free coinage of sill.
yer would be similar. Any
owner of bullion could have il
coined, or receive in exchange 8
coined dollar for every 4124
grains of standard silver in his
bullion, and the coined dollars
would be unlimited legal ten
der.
Our correspondent asks also
whether it is true that silver
dollars drift back to the Govern
ment's vaults, and why they do,
and how the Government gets
them into circulation.
It is true that silver dollars
drift back to the Governments
vaults. The reason is that
Americans are averse to keep
ing on hand bulky coins in large
quantities. Silver dollars are
receivable for Government dues,
and the Government must take
them when offered by it's debtors.
The Government gets silver dol
lars into circulation by paying
them out to it's creditors, the
creditors being, of course, its
civil employees, contractors, pen
sioners, soldiers, sailors and
others to whom it undertakes to
pay money.
Another correspondent asks a
question which may as we'll be
answered here. It is whether,
in case we adopted free coinage
at Is TO L, all the silver in the
world would could be dumped"
upon US.
There is a difference between
the coined silver of France, for
instance, and that of Mexico.
The coined silver of France
would not be shipped here be-
cause the coins are maintained
at a gold valuation, just as our
silver coins are maintained I'M
der our present laws. France
has not coined any silver for
nearly twenty years, and it's sill
yer coins are regarded as token
money based on a large gold
stock.
Mexican dollars would hardly
be 'dumped' upon us. but Mex
leo is a great bullion producing
country and undoubtedly could,
unless we adopted a prohibitive
silver tariff, dump" very large
amount of silver in that shape
into the United States and have
it coined into legal tender dol
lars.
If our adoption of free silver
coinage raised the value of the
silver dollar here above the
value of an equal amount of sill
yer in the coins of Mexico,
them Mexican coined dol.
lars would, in the absence
Of a tariff, be converted into bull
lion and forwarded to our mints.
