Execution of Major Claviio.

MADRID. June Sat two o'clock
this morning Major Clavijo, the assail-
ant of Captain General Primo-Rivera,
was awakened by the guard and the
sentence of the court martial read to
him. The condemned man exhibited
no signs of fear. After taking leave OF
mis- cousins he wrote farewell letters
to his parents and his sweetheart, and
occasionally asked as to the condition
of General Rivera, expressing hope
that he would recover. The vehicle
in which he was conveyed to San
Isidro was surrounded by an infantry
guard. On arriving at the square
priest stepped forward and yelled the
condemned mans eyes with handker-
chief and then withdrew, leaving
Clavijo standing alone. The splendid
military bearing of the condemned
man aroused the sympathy of all pres
emit, and there were traces of deep emo
ton in the voice of the officer of the
guard as he gave the order to fire.
There was rosr of musketry and
Clavjjo fell with three bullets in his
head. Seeing that he moved, the or
der was given to fire another shot,
which took effect in the chin, and as
there was still motion in the body
another shot was fired into his heart.
The large crowd which had assembled
in the square groaned in horror at see-
ing the soldiers fire three times upon
the unfortunate officer, twice into his
PROSTATE body.

Illinois Silveritcs.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill.,, June 5.-This
mornings trains yisibly augmented the
number of delegates to the democratic
silver convention, and the prospects of
it being success were correspondingly
increased. Every delegate who valued
his standing with his fellows wore on
his coat badge shaped like an in
verted triangle, the apex of which was
small gold nugget, and the remainder
sixteen Jumps of silver. Besides this
each man carried broad blue badge,
telling for what he was there. Secre-
tary of State Hinrichsen, chairman of
the democratic State central commit
tee, called the meeting to order, and
Monroe G. Crawford, of Union county,
was made temporary chairman.
Speeches were made by w. 81. Hinrich-
sen, Hon. w. j. Bryan, of Nebraska;
Richard Michaels, of Chicago, and Per-
manent Chairman Mcconnell.
The general expression while strong
" against Cleveland, was that it
would be bad policy for the con-
vention to take any action which would
widen the breach between the two fac
tions of the democ acy. Timothy T.
Beach voiced this sentimentin pepery
speech, in which he spoke bitterly of
Cleveland as traitor to the democracy
but said he did not think it the bus:-
ness of a monetary convention to de-
nOunce him.

WHILE there are few right thinking
people who do not approve of Govern,
or O,Ferrall's action in sending to, and
keeping troops at, Pocahontas.to pro-
tect property and preserve order there,
there are many who think that some
means should be adopted by which the
tax PAYERS OF the State may be saved
from a similar expense hereafter. If
the men who have put the already tax
ridden State to this expense were not
on the States border, they would long
since have been arrested and punished,
but, sbeing able at any time to step
across that border into the jurisdiction
of another State, the authorities O.
which protect them, they are
free, and are constant men
ace to life and property in Virginia.
As the Constitution of the United
States provides that the judicial pro-
ceedipgs of any one State shall be
obligatory upon all the others, there
ought not to be much difficulty in de-
vising ways and means by which the
leaders of the disturbers of the peace
at Pocahontas can be seized and puu-
ished so severely that their case would
effectually deter others from following
their example.

Marti's Body.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, May N.-The
body of the rebel leader Jose Marti ar
rived here last night and was at once
taken to the cemetery under a strong
guard of Spanish troops, where it re-
NAMED until this morning. From the
time that the body had been taken
from Remangauaguas, where 1t mao
been buried two days, until it reached
the railroad station here, the funeral
train had been attacked by the rebels
nine times with the intention OF recoy-
erinp the corpse. Ten of the Spanish
soldiers were killed and many wounded.
This morning the lid of the coffin OF the
dead rebel was removed in order that
the populace might see him and iden.
tify him. The latter, however, was
impossible as the features were so de-
composed, Marti having been dead
eight days.
A few Spanish officers were then call
ed and signed deed stating they iden.
titled the body in the coffin as that OF
Jose Marti. The body was then placed
in vault given gratis by the Board OF
Aldermen.
Col. Sandoval, who commanded the
Spanish troops in the engagement in
which Marti was killed, then delivered
the following address:
Gentlemen I'm the presence of him
who was in life Jose Marti, and in the
absence of anyone nearer of kin, l pro-
nounce the usual phrases of these &C.
casions. request you not to look up
on this corpse as the enemy, but as the
body of man whose political ideas
placed him before the Spanish soldiers.
From the moment the spirit abandons
the earthly body the Almighty re-
ceives the soul with generous pardon;
and we, in taxing charge of the body,
all rancor as enemy must cease, must
give it the Christian burial it deserves.
The assemblage then dispersed.

The Silverites say the great need of
this country is more money per capita,
and that that need could be supplied
by the free coinage of silver. But Sec
rotary Carlisle's figures show that the
per capita circulation Of the United
States is two.thirds greater than that
of any silver standard country. The
real need of this country is more work
for its people, and that need can be
best supplied by free trade, which will
enable small, to compete with large
manufacturing establishments, and by
increasing the foreign demand for
products, increase the home
demand for American labor.

The Armenian Situation.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, June 5.-Afairs in
regard to the Armenian situation be-
tween the Porte and the powers are at
standstill, owing to the fact that the
representatives of the powers par
ty to the proposed reorganization
of the Armenian administration are
awaiting instructions from their re-
snective governments. In the mean
time the refusal of the porte to acqui-
esce in the proposed foreign control of
Armenia is regarded as a stroke of
success on the part of Grand
Vizier Djevad Pasha, which has
averted his resignation and conse-
quent changes in the Turkish ministry.
The Porte has become involved in an
additional diplomatic complication, aris-
log from the wounding of an officer of a
French steamer by a Turkish passenger
and the subsequent arrest of the Turk.
The matter was reported to the French
ambassador, who has demanded Salts
faction from the Porte for the wound
ing of French citizen.

Each light will cost about $40, 900, and
it is expected the work is to be COM

most important of the stations is that
at Smiths point. The second is that at
