AFTER FIIdBUSTERS.
Cruiser Raleigh WIN Patrol the
Florida Coast.
Judge Harmon, Attorney General OIney's
Successor, Takes the Osth Of ONCE
Cleveland win Visit At
lanta-NeWs Notes.

WASHINGTON, June t2.-Acting Sec
rotary McAdoo Of the navy department
said that the instructions sent to the
commodore of the cruiser Raleigh for
his guidance when off the Florida coast
were Of the most comprehensive kind
and provided for full and strict en-.
forcement Of the neutrality laws. The
Raleigh probably viii go to Key West
first. This is the only port on the Flor
ide coast in which a vessel Of her
draUght can enter. She then viii make
a thorough patrol of the coast line, and
to render it much more difficult for
hlibustering party TO get away, the
cruisers steam launches and small
boats viii be manned whenever it is
necessary TO look into narrow inlets and
passes for light draught schOoners and
yachts, which are the favori5e means Of
transportation of the filibusters.
40 Enforce Neutrality Law.
With Spanish men-of-war lying of
The Florida coast outside Of the Smile
limit and the Raleigh and her boats
sweeping the inside waters, the over
enthusiastic Cubans and their American
sympathizers, who undertake to drive
the United States into trouble by using
Florida as a base of hostility against the
government of Cuba, are likely to be re-
pressed with a strong hand The POI
sition of the administration is that they
must make all honorable efforts to pre-
vent the abuse of its territory in this
way and if the measures already adopted
are not sufficient to secure the enforce
ment of the neutrality laws to a large
degree that We have ourselves insisted
upon when our interests were involved,
then active steps may be taken ashore
to move upon the people who have laid
themselves open to prosecution by Or
ganizing hostile expeditions and aiding
an illegal warfare on a friendly nation.
The following letter was sent to all col
lectors of customs on the coast from
New YORK 20 the MO Grande;
WASHINGTON, June IL.
To collectors Of customs and others:
1t is a matter of rumog that at various
points in the United States attempts are
making to enlist men to arm and equip
vessels and by other illegal measures to
aid the instruction now in progress in
the island Of Cuba. While this depart
ment has not been furnished with tangi-
bic evidence confrmatory of such rumors,
it deems it of great importance that no
possibility be given for complaints that
the government of the United States has
in respect fallen short of its full duty to a
friendly nation. Collectors Of customs
for the several districts between New
York and Brownsville are especially en-
Joined to see to it that the neutrality Of
the United States, particularly sections
5,2S9 and $3.50 of the Revised Statutes, are
complied with. S. WIKE,
Acting Secretary.

Tragedy at Omaha Surrounded by sus-
PieiOus Circumstances.

Tragedy at Omaha Surrounded by sus-
Picious Circumstances.
OMAHA, June 10,-AbOut 1880 Sunday
evening w. Il. Chappel was shot and
instantly killed at the home of James
lsh in this city. He had sold the fam
lily a sewing machine, and had been
summoned several times to fix 1t, and
was sent for Saturday. He came Sun
day evening instead, and, according to
the story told by Mrs. Ish, attempted to
rayish her while her husband was IN
another part of the house. She claims
that when she screamed Chappell drew
his revolver, but that she grabbed
it from his hand and commenced shoot
ing at him. Her husband rushed into
the room, revolver in hand, and Mrs.
Ish says she grabbed that revolver also
and continued the shooting. In all
nine shots were fired, four Of which
struck Chappel. Mrs. Ish was placed
in custody, but later developments seem
to indicate that it is likely the woman's
husband did the shooting, and that the
outrage story was told to screen him.
Letters found ON the person Of the dead
man show conclusively tha6he and Mrs.
Ish had been unduly intimate.
Ish has confessed shat he did the
shooting, having caught them III a COM
promising position.

NEW YORK, June 9.-The greatest ex-
hibition of long distance riding in the
history of cycling between Chicago and
this city terminated at so q. N, at the
junction Of Sixtieth street and the bOule-
ward. The great race, which required a
great deal of careful preparation. started
from Chicago Wednesday morning at
8 o'clock, and was to cover 1000 miles
intervening between that city and New
York. The record has been broken and
the distance covered by hours and AZ
minutes better time. In organizing this
relay a departure was made by dis
tinction in the colors worn by the riders.
The military was represented by blue
and postal service by red. The race
would have been entirely devoid OF the
military features which rendered it 50
popular if it had not been for the action
Of Major General Nelson a. Miles.
The riders in their distinguishing col.
Ors bore messages which were delivered
on arrival. Mr.. McAad, Postmaster
Dayton's private secretary, received the
message by the red forwarded by Post
master Hesing of Chicago, and repre-
sented the postofice department, and
a minutes later General Miles received
from the blue the message from General
Merritt. The run through the Syracuse
district was made more interesting by
the offer of a prize for the BEST time

Dies MONIES, June l2.-At the after

nominations were made: Governor,
Sylvester Crane, Davenport; lieutenant
governor, A. r. Starrett, Humbold; su-
preme judge, L w. Ivory, Mills county;
superintendent instruction, E, j. Sta
son, Sioux City.
The platform reaffirms the priu oiples
of the Omaha platform; denounces the
late decision of the supreme court on
the income tax; the recent acts Of gov
eminent by injunction in the interest
of corporate wealth and the issue Of in
terest bearing bonds.
On the financial question, it says:
Recognizing with satisfaction the ex-
preston of individual opinions among
citizens irrespective of party in favor of
the restoration of silver to its constitu-
tional place in the coinage of the coun-
try at the ratio of is to l, we extend the
right hand OF fellowship to all men who
are willing to join with Us in the de-
thronement Of the money power Of Wall
street and Europe and the emancipation
of the producing classes Of the world.
We further demand that until such
time as a government system of finances
can be established, that Ill banking in
stitutiOns, national, state and private,
be required to give security todepOsitora
for all money received for deposit.
To Reduce Public Officers Salaries.
eve demand that the legislature of
Iowa shall provide for adequate legisla-
ton for the inspection of all workshops
and factories where more than 10 per-
sons are employed; that the physical
and sanitary conditions may be i'm
proved and the lives, limbs, health and
convenience CT the employees be better
guarded. The salaries of our public
officers being far in excess of the returns
from productive industry, we demand
of the next general assembly a readjust-
ment of the salaries Of all public officers
on a basis to correspond with the re-
duced prices received from the product
of labor"
The platform also favOrs a graduated
state tax upon incomes; also state in
heritance tax, similar to those of New
York and Illinois; demands a state tax
of 10 per cent upon all future contracts
made payable in gold, the same to be
paid by the holder; and also calls for the
adoption of the initiative and referen-
dunn.

TO AID CUBAN INSURGENTS.
Formidable Filibustering Expedition Sails
For Cuba

Formidable FiIibustering Expedition Sails
For Cuba.
KEY WEST, June 9.-The rumors that
have been circulated here for the last
"a hours that a flibustering expedition
has left this vicinity for Cuba have been
confirmed. A small vessel came in from
the gulf around the eastern end of the
island and anchored close to the beach.
Shortly afterward a small boat was sent
ashore with messages for the leaders,
who had been awaiting instructions for
several days. Their messengers were
quietly sent in every direction to sum-
mon those enrolled for the expedition,
and within a short time the inhabitants
Of that section Of the island wer3 sur
prised to see bands Of Cubans heavily
armed and with accoutrements strapped
on their backs going in the direction of
the beach, getting into small boats and
being taken aboard the vessel where she
made her anchorage. Several small
boats are missing from their mOorings.
and several well known revolutionists
have also disappeared, among them
Generals Rolcff and Sanchez. The i'm
preston prevails that several vessels
will meet at Bahia Honda, Cuba, where
other contingents from Tampa and
Jacksonville will join them, making
formidable expedition. Secrecy is MAIN
tanned by the Cuban leaders about the
affair. 1t is thought not less than 175
Cubans have gone from here.

COWBOYS ARMED.
An Engagement Between Cattle aud sheep
Men Near Elkhead.

WohCorT, Colo, June lf.-News has
been received here Of en- encounter be.
tween 60 cattlemen and nine Mexican
sheep herders near Elkhead, about i25
miles north Of here. The STRAY was
blOodless, except that Jose Anuerot "a.
ceiyeG a slight wound in his left ara
from cowboys rife The flock
comprised about 2,0G0 sheep and wss
being driven along carelessiy. The
AexicaGs wers poorly armed and made
no attempt at resistance. As soon As
jose was wounded the rest took TO their
heels and FED to the hills, leaving the
sheep to their fate. The cattlemea
finally induced them to return and the
sheep are now across the line in Wyo-
ming, from which state they came
The Mexiesns swore they would not Is.
tempt to enter Colorado again. The
body Of cattlemen who drove this flock
came from W0lcOtt and surrounding
towns and they are now on their way
back.
Nothing has been heard from the de.
taOhment Of 800 eattlemen which left
Hayden for California park. It is
thought here that Edwards and his
followers are enCamped, guarding
flock Of sheep estimated from 6O,OOe 80
100000. Nothing definite is known as
to his force, but all sorts Of rumors are
Ia circulation. The one which gives
the cattlemen the greatest i'll feeling is
that there are 15O Pinkertons with him.
Il do not believe in bloodshed, said
an old ranchman, "but if Edwards at.
temptS to ruin our grazing ground by
driving his sheep to Wolcott, he and
his entire force should be annihilated.
If Edwards has the Pinkerton men,
humiliation viii probably be the result,
as the cowboys who have gone to the
front are determined and carry Win
chesters and big csliber Fevolyers.
