FIRED UPON AND EXAMINED
By Spanish Gunboat-MaSeo Issues a Proclam ation-Rev-
 o!utionists' Strength.

NEW YORK, April 3.-A Herald special cable from Kingston, Jamaica, says: Tbe British steamer Ethelred, which cleared March z7 from Boston, Mass, for Port Antonio, Jamsica, when of Cape Maysi, Cuba, was fired on by Spanish gunboat. The Ethelred stopped, was boarded and examined by officers of the gun boat, alter which she proceeded on her voyage. Aspecial cable to the Herald from Nas- sau, N. H., says: Word has been received revolutionary sub chiefs and delegates rep resenting the sections in which Holguin, Marzanillo, Bayamo, Jiguani, Guantanamo and Baracoa are situated, met on March 29 near Arroyo Blanco. Gen. Barlolome Masso was chosen provisional commander in-chief of the Cuban revolutionary army forces in the province of Santiago, pending the arrival of Geueral Gomez.
 General Masso has issued proclamation in winch he repudiates all acts of brigand- age as foreign to the programme of the revontionists. He pledges that the revo- J1tioEary forces will protect persons and property Of non-combatant Spanish resi- dents on the islard and will respect the wives and children of their enemies in the field.
 General Masso and his lieutenants in that province have from 5000 10 51C0 men upder arms. About onefifth of the men are mounted as cavalry, but they lack arms and ammunition.
 Private advices from Port Prince, Hayti, indicate that President Hippolte is lending active support 10 the Cuban insur- gents. Jose Martis' agents are reported to be negotiating for the purchase of vessel now used by the Hsytian government as a transport, having speed of eight knots per hour.
 The removal of the young lieutenant, Ybara, from command of the Spanish gun boat Condo de Venadito, which fired on the American steamer Allianca, is regarded in Santiago de Cuba as not being in any way due to the Allianca affair. Lieutenant Y bara is only temporarily in command of the-londe de Venauito. her captain having stopped in Teneriffe because he had been taken suddenly ill on the voyage from Spain. It is understood in Santiago de Cuba that the Spanish admiralty has warmly congl atulated Lieutenant Ybara for his action off Cape Maysi.

 RESULTS OF THE STORM. Chicago Completely in the Hands

THE "GANG" WIPED OUT.

.aCnICAGo, April 3.-The landslide of last November in this city was augmented in yesterdays election. The returns show an almost clean sweep for the republicans. George B. Swift, for mayor, was elected by 40 ,930 plurality over Frank Wentar, demo- cFai, and the other candidates on the re- publican ticket received substantially the same plurality, with the exception of West, for city attorney, who ran 20, GOO behind his ticket. He still has safe plurality of 19, ,245, however.
 The city oi Chicago is divided for taxing purposes into seven districts, known as .s.owns." In all these the republican can didates for assessor, collector, supervisor ond clerk were elected by unprecedented pluralities.
 Twenty-two members of the committee or council were elected. Of these eighteen are republicans or independent of republi- can tendencies, two are democrats and one is an independent democrat. With few exceptions the members of the poodle gang who were up for reelection were defeated.
 There were several surprises iu the alder manic results. In the First ward Michael keuna, better known as 'Hlnky D1nk,' was beaten by Gleason, republican, gen. Heman of almost equal notoriety. In the Nineteenth ward ex.Cougressman Frank Lawler who has been a candidate for almost everything in sight during the last few years, ran as an independent democrat and aoa over the republican and the regular democratcSandidatesb by a small plurality. In ihe Twenty first John McGillen, leader ot the democratic forces E the couacil, was defeated by 1000 plurality. His defeat is attributed to his unsatisfactory record on the O. called poodle ord finances. , s 9ane Twenty ninth ward returns to the council Buck Mccarthy, the poodle county commissioner, who narrowly ea- capped peniteutiary sentence when Van. pelt, Wrenn and others went to Joliet, and McGarigle made hls famous trip to Canada by tine bath tub route eight years ago. McCarthy is republican. With the ex- captions noted, most of the successful can didates for the council are new in politics. 1t was a bad day for the "gang.'
 The vote on the proposition to adopt a civil service system applying to all munic. ipal employees, including tue hremen and the police, was comparatively light, only 160, GOO votes being cast on the question. The proposition won, however, by ma jofity oi 40, ,000 despite the opposition of the machine politicians of both parties and the iil-conceaied enmity of the police.

ETHELRED OWNED IN AMERICA.

WAsHINa1oN, D. o., April 8.-Comm mis- sioner Uhamoeriain of the treasury bureau of navigation says that the Ethelred, re- ported as having been fired upon, halted Maysi, Cuba, is practically an American vessel, though she flies the British ensign. She is engaged in the fruit trade and plies between Bos.on and Cuban ports. The ves- sel was built in England but is owned in Boston. s the vessel was built abroad, by our laws, she could not sail under the American flag though owned here. No re. port of the incident has been received either al the State department or by the Spanish legation.

MICHIGAN GONE.

CHICAGO, April 3.--A special from De- troit, Mlch., says: Practically complete returns from every county Tn the state in- diclte that Judge Moore, republican, was elected justice of the supreme court by 36 ,000 plurality, and Bakerfi sld and Hack ley regents Of the State university, by S6, 300 and 38, 900 plurality. The amend- ment to the state constitution, increasing salaries of state officers, was lost by thre,- fourths vote. For congress in the Third district Mines, republican, has majority over Todd, fusonist, of 1115. In this district Burrows received Il 600 plurality last November. h the tenth senatorial district Smith of Jackson county, to fill the vacancy, received l25o majority. Re- turns from interior counties on the state ticket last night show such remarkable in- crease in the republican vote that, if kept lip, they will give Moore 60, 900 plurality. He is now certain of over 5o ,000.

 NEW YORK, April "A passenger on tbe steamer Vigilancia, which arrived from Havana this morning, reports that at Man Zanillo, where he had been staying the sym pathy of the inhabitants is all with the in- surgents, and if the latter would approach the city and make u demonstration tbe whole town would probably readily em- brace the revolutionary cause. There were frequent skirmishes between insur- gents ana Spanish troops, but the former were too crafty to risk decisive battle us yet. Their cause is apparently gaining strength daily.
 About ten days ago it was reported at Marzlnillo that the insurgent forces were about to invest the town, and for time there was great excitement, but the rumor was soon traced to unreliable sources and the town again became qulet.
 On .hs Vigilancia were also six of the crew oi the Dutch bark Marie condemned al Havana. She sprang a leak while on a voyage from Pensacola for DelfzyI, Hol- land, and put into Havana in distress.

A ONE-SIDED VICTORY.

NEWPORT, R. l.. April S.-Today's elec- tion was all one-sided, but the uneveuness was much greater than had been expected by either side. The republicans sweep everything before them, electiug every candidate by pluralities unprecedented for many years. These ran on the general ticket as high as 65l for Lippett for gov- ernor, aud the assembly ticket ranged from s56 to AIS, the latter being only slightly lower than the highest a year ago. Neither side made any effort to bring out it's vote, the democrats especially being apparently entirely without interest in tbe contest, aud the total vote fell of 700 or 800 from st years figures. The proposition to issue per cent gold bonds for S100, 1000 of thirty years was carried in total vote of about 2490 by majority of more than 1900.

THE RESULT IN MISSOURI.

' ST. LOUIS, April 3.-Returns received from elections held in Missouri yesterday show that the lightest vote in many years was cast.

At Springfield tue democrats elected seven out of eight candi- dates for aldermen. At Macon, Lebanon, St. Charles, Boonviile, Carthage and St. Joseph the republicans elected their entire ticket. The democrats made clean sweep sat Moberly, Poplar Bluff, Paris and Salem. At Jefferson City, Ssdalia au d other impor- tant cities in the state the successful candi- dates were evenly divided between repub- lcans and democrats. No election was held at Kansas City. In St. Louis the re- publjcaus elected twenty nine out of thirty
 four candidates for city council by an average majority of 10 900 votes.

FREE COINAGE OF SILVER.

VIII 1t help business, and are all the
miners and mine owners in the differ
ent mining camps of the west willing
to join a plan that viii restore silver
TO its proper place? VIII they join such
a plan. and in doing So compel our
eastern friends to realize that the west
is not alone in requiring the free COIN
age of silver, but that they themselves,
from financial standpoint, will be
benefited in accomplishing that much
desired result?
You all realize that the west has
produced millions upon millions Of dot
lars in silver. and in doing this it had
required millions Of dollars worth of
machinery and merchandise of all
kinds. all of which, or the greater part
OF which, has been purchased in the
east, and paid for with our silver dol
lars. When this silver reached the
eastern maRet 1t was not placed in
circulation, as it should have been,
but stored away in vaults, and in such
Quantities that our eastern friends be-
came alarmed lest we should accumu-
late SO much that it would become
valueless. Now, when you stop to con-
slider this subject from their stand
point it Is quite natural that they
should become alarmed. Suppose

goods to certain market, ny the car

IS it not reasonable 90 suppose that the
conservative merchant would fight shy
of this manufacturer goods, realizing
that he was OVergtocking the market
and that it would be but a short time
before there would be a clash in the
prices of his goods? Now do you catch
on? What is wanted is for every min
ing company in the west 20 stop--not
next year but right now-sending their
silver east and purchasing eastern
soaps. but to mail their orders to the
Grant Soap company at Salt Lake city,
Utah. who have a burning desire to
exchange soap for silver. {Ry the way

we are manufacturing all kinds Of

Now kindly give US a trial order.

We want this western silver, and we
