CONSUL WILLIAMS has returned home
from Cuba and 1t is said he may not re-
turn to that pleasant island as repre-
sentative OF the United States govern
ment. For some reason he has incurred
the displeasure Of the Spanish authori.
ties at Havana, and it ia intimated that
his recall has been urgently requested.
He claims that his devotion to Ameri-
can interests is the only objection the
Spaniards can have to him as the repre-
sentative of this country, and perhaps
he is right. If he has not allowed his
zeal to run away with his judgment in
this matter his countrymen ought to be
proud OF him, but that remains to be
seen.

SPEAKER CRISP ON SILVER.
The South VIII Not Come Out Radically

The South VIII Not Come Out Radically
81 For Silver But Will Give 1t a Chance.
WASHINGTON, May Eek Speaker
Crisp Is in the city to.day en- route
home from trip to the North. "Well,
yes, there is considerable talk about
silver down South" said Mr.. Crisp to a
reporter to-day. II don't say that it is
any more pronounced now than at any
other time, although it may seem to be
so on account OF general prominence
given to the financial question
throughout the country.
You see, the South has ALWAYS be-
lieved in the use of silver In our
national currency. l am not prepared
to say that the thinking of the people OF
that section would come out radically
on silver single standard. They are
not radical about anything. They be-
lieve. however, that we cannot have. a
return OF prosperous conditions in this
country on the contracted currency of a
gold basis. There seems to be a general
Willingness among our people to give
silver an opportunity"
What significance do you attach to
the coming sound money convention at
Memphis?" That gathering will rep
resent the boards OF trade and CONNER
c!al organizations OF the South. twill
not be representative Of the mass of the
people nor the sentiments about silver.
L hope at that meeting they will argue
and discuss the silver question from
their standpoint"

THE SITUATION AT pooAHoNrAs.

Dispatches from Pocahontas show
that the striketin the Flat Top coal
region is assuming critical and COM
plicated phase. A large percentage Of
the miners at Pocshontas have joined
the strikers, and IL is thought there
that all OF them will go out to-day. A
mass meeting was held at Pocahontas
Sunday afternoon attended by about
5000 men from West Virginia and on
yesterday another meeting was held
near that place.
No disturbances were reported at
either meeting; but President Bullitt,
of she Southwest Virginia Improvement
Company, has issued an address to the
minors employed by him, saying no re-
ductiop has been made In their wages
and that none will be made. He ap-
peals to them to 60 to work to day, and
says the places OF those who fail to do
80 will be filed. Troops have been
ordered from Graham to Pocahontas.
and President Bullitt promises .prosec.
ton to all who want to work.
1t is believed at Pooahontas that this
protection will be needed by all who &C
cept his offer, and in consequence much
anxiety Ia felt as to the course of events
there to-day. On the whole the outlook
is not encouraging for an early ending
of the strike. The address of President
Bullitt shows q determination on the
part OF his company to continue work at
the mines under the protection afforded
by the military, while there is nothing
to indicate that the operators elsewhere
will recede from their reduction of 90
per cent in the miners wages, or that
the strikers will swerve from the posi-
tion they have taken.
1t is contended by some who are sup
posed to be posted that one way to an
adjustment Of the difficulty would be q
reduction in the royalties which the
operators have to pay owners OF the
mineral lands worked by them but
whether this is an item important
enough to affect the result. 1t Is impos-
sible to say. At all events some solu-
tion Of the difficulties must be arrive d
at In the end, and 1t is hoped that this
will be accomplished at an early date
without injury to person or property
and in manner satisfactory to the best
Interests Of all concerned.

THE Baltimore board Of trade has
adopted resolution that is "views
with alarm the danger which now
threatens the credit Of this nation" It
says further that On educational cam
psign must be initiated. and since the
West Is the stronghold Of the silver
party, the South may prove to be the
battlegroundsof this approaching con-
troversy. This seems to be President
Cleveland's idea also; and, in view Of
the great Interest taken in this section,
the people here are likely to be flooded
with financial information. They would
much prefer the hard cash, however, to
30 much talk about gold and silver.
Heretofore the great bulk of both,
earned by the products of this section,
has helped to fill the Golfers Of Northern
merchants and manufacturers. It ia
hoped that in few years much OF the
money heretofore spent in this manner
will remain at home.

NICARAGUA NOR YET HAPPY

The British feet has departed from
Corinto and yet the Nicaraguans are
not happy. A revolution has broken
out in Granada, along the Eastern shore
OF the republic, and as This involves the
Mosquito region, in which British in
fuence has long been dominant, Central
American Diplomats fear that 1t will
afford another opportunity for further
intervention on the part OF Great Britain.
Well authenticated reports have reached
MAnagua tia Chief Clarence, the de-,
posed ruler Of the Mosquito reservation,
who ls now at Kingston, Jamaica. is the
recipient OF pension Of thirty dollars
per day from the British government
and these reports do not tend to allay
the popular animosity against Great
Britain, 1t being commended that she
would not take such an interest in the
deposed chief, unless she had interior
designs regarding him.
Much doubt exists in Nicaragua as to
the part played by the American ad.
ministration in the settlement of the
Corinto affair, some contending that the
attitude Of this government was a peg
functory one: while others assert that
the satisfactory outcome was due
wholly to the good Offices OF the United
States. One of the results OF British
occupation of Nicaragua territory will,
it is aaid, be the formation of an sla
lance between the several Central
American States for defensive purposes,
and 1t Is further stated that several
South American republics have tele-
graphed to President zelaya. OF Mica
Tagua, suggesting the formation of
commercial union against the produc.
lions OF Great Britain and also against
she transportation OF Central and
South American products in British
vessels. These last ARRANGEMENTS
would be OF great benefit to the United
States, and would make this country
much frmer in its support of the Mon.
roe doctrine, as, instead OF being, az It
now is, matter OF sentiment wholly,
1t would become question Of dollars
and cents, which, after all, Is a question
OF deep interest to the people OF this
great nation.

TORTURE CHARGED AGAINST THE
PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT.

HoYoLUf.u, Feb. S.---The success of the
Government of H&waii in conducting it's
treason cases was due to the discriminating
evidence given by Captain William Davies
of the steamer Waimanolo. Those who
know the captain were surprised at the
complete and circumstantiaI evidence
given.
The manner in which the sworn state
ment was wrung from Davies is interest
ing, as showing the peculiar legal process
at present existing in the Hawaiian ISL
ands. Davies and his mate, Knudsen,
were arrested on the morning of January
5. Knudsen made a confession, telling
what little he knew. Davies, who is an
American citizen, refused to give any in
formation, and, while protesting his inno-
cence, demanded an interview with the
United States Minister. This was refused
and the Acknowledgement closed the

FINDINGS KEPT SECRET.
DOUBT AS TO WHETHER THE SIX
MEN ARE DOOMED.

Honolulu, Feb. 8.--The Star pretends to
nave discovered leak in the Military Com
mission by which it learns that Sam Now
lein, Robert w. Wilcox, w. II. Richard,
Charles T. Quick, Major Seward. Henry
Bertlcmann and most likely Thomas
Walker have been sentencedto be hanged
while Carl Wideman, W. G. Greig and
Louis Marshall have been let off with long
terms of imprisonment with heavy fines.
While the Star claims inside authority for
the foregoing statement it is generally
disbelieved, not that it may not be true in
the end, but that any member of the COM
mission has so far forgotten his oath as to
divulge its proceedings is not regarded
possible.
The commission has held two executive
sessions Of considerable length since the
foregoing was published and it is more
than probable that the enterprising editor
OF the Star will have to divulge his sources
of information. AT the beginning of the
military trials the Government publicly
announced that no comment would be al
lowed by the press on any of the proceed
ings, but the Star evidently does not know
or perhaps does not care what comment"
is. Anyhow the commission owes to itself
the ferreting out a, punishment of the
offenders if any the be, and undoubtedly
some one will suffer from the publication
referred to.
