TO THE VOTERS OF BEXAR
COUNTY.

The undersigned, appointed as a
committee with plenary powers
by the Republican county conven-
ton held at Mission garden on
the Goth of September, 1896,
with power to fill out and com
plete the ticket nominated at said
convention consider it proper to
make a statement in reporting
the ticket as completed for the
consideration of the voters.
The Republican county cOnven-
ton was held under a call duly
and authoritively made by Thos.
b. Johnson, chairman of the
county Republican executive
committee, at the instance of the
county executive committee. The
convention thus called was con.
stituted of delegates from the
several precincts of the county
elected at precinct meetings duly
held under call of chairman of the
precincts. The delegates assem-.
bled at Mission garden and pro
ceeded in Il regular and orderly
manner to do the business for
which they had been convened,
tO-wit, to nominate a county tick
ct and to elect a county chairman
and executive county committee.
4 ticket was nominated with
few exceptions and the blanks
left to be filled by plenary com
mittee. At this convention there
was no cut and dried program
as a consequence no ticket Sc
lected before hand, and there
were places not easily filed on
the spur of the moment.
The plenary committee wish to
congratulate the Republicans of
BeXar county upon the success
they have met with in presenting
a ticket that will command their
support, should the people of this
county desire to break up the
personal political combinations
that have assumed to exercise the
functions of all political parties,
and to dictate who shall hold the
county Offices. The opportunity
is now offered to them. The
men who are presented on the
Republican ticket are men who
fill all the requisites for good
public servants-the public bust
CESS in their hands will be well
I cared for and honestly admins
tered.
The blanks still remaining on
the ticket will be filled before the
day of election if thought advisa-
BILE by the committee.
The positions of district judges
having been decided by the con-
ventiOn to be left blank we have
no recommendation to make.

THE WORLDS COINAGE.
Report of Director of the Mint Preston
An Important Recommendation.

Report of Director of the Mint Preston
An Important Recommendation.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The report Of
r. E. Preston, the director of the
mint, shows in elaborate details the
operations of the minis and assay Of
fees during the fiscal year 1896, to-
gether with statistics of foreign coun-
tries. relative to the production, coin
age and monetary conditions of each.
The total coinage of gold and silver
by the various countries of the world
was as follows:
Gold, S231, OS7, 43s; silver, S121 &c.
PIG. Total, $685., 697, 657. The total
metallic stock and uncovered paper in
the world was estimated, on January
l, 1896, to be $40, 93S, 600, 900.
The director recommends that au-
thority be given the secretary to have
experiments made to determine the
best means of preventing the counter
feiting of silver coinage. At the pre-
vailing price of silver. the difference
between the bullion and the nominal
value of our silver coins is about 100
per cent. and this constitutes a great
temptation for the stamping of such
coins by INSCRIPTIONS persons, af-
fording them an opportunity to place
in circulation counterfeit silver coins
at about 100 per cent. profit as good
as those stamped by the minis, and
which cannot be distinguished from
them, even by experts.

wEYLER.s CAMPAIGN

a Complete Failure from Every Point Of
Vieu-He Does Not Want to Meet Gen.
Maeeo-Gomez Advancing West with \
Large Force-Shocking Details Of Cole
Eaa's ExecutiOn-Anxiously Awaiting
President CleseIand's Message TO Con-

KEY WEST, Fla, Dec. 4-Passengers
who arrived from Havana Wednesday
night report that Weyler's campaign
in Pinar del Rio SO far is failure, de-
spite the fact that he has force of over
sixty thousand men in the province.
When Weyler left Artemisa he formed
column of 10000 infantry, 1850
cavalry and ten pieces of artillery and
marched, slxirting the base of the hills
on the southern side and seeking an
opening TO attack Maceo, who is
strongly fortified on top of the hills.
| It appears that Maceo has gathered
all his forces and is now intrenched. in
the hills awaiting Weyler's attack.
| There is no truth, it is said, in the re-
port that Maceo had divided his forces
into small bandsle0 elude combat. and
it is further declared that it is known
on good authority that Weyler has no
view of meeting Maceo.
Gomez, with a large force, is re-
ported steadily advancing west he
is now reported in Santa Clara prov
ince, and, it is said, is coming with
| 90. 600 men.
| There are more shocking details OF
Lopez Colema's execution. Gen. Mar
tinez Campos, it is said, is indignant
at the injustice committed in execu-
ting Colema. Campos obtained the
| queens pardon for him and sent a tel
| egram so advising. The message ar
rived at noon, but reports say Wey1er
pocketed it and ordered the execution
/ to proceed.
The rebels trapped "a local guerillas
near Quivican recently. All were
killed with machets. The fact was
never reported by the papers.
1t is rumored Rolof has arrived with
an expedition. He came from Cam
| peche, Mexico.
There is great interest in Havana
concerning President Cteveland's mes
sage and the action of congress there

Politics.
NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-United States
Senators Wolcott, of Colorado. and
Carter, of Montana, are at the Waldorf
hotel, en- route to Washington.
Neither would talk on political condi.
tions in the west.
Senator Carter thought it would be
nnwlse to pass the Dingley bill. He
would prefer to have an extra session
of congress pass upon the tariff ques-
ton. He would not be surprised, how
ever, to see a substitute for the Ding
ley bill offered for consideration at
the coming session, but it is his opin-
ion that the Dingley bill is dead. He
thought there is disposition on the
part of the president-elect to recog-
nize the Pacific coast by an appoint
ment to the cabinet if the right man
is presented. He declared that sug-
gestions of Mr. Bliss, of New York,
and Mr.. Payne, of Wisconsin, for ca b.
met positions met with approval every
where.

MONEY FOR PENSIONS.

The Appropriation for the Next Fiscal
Year VIII be Fully S14O,OOO,OOO.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The appro-
priation for pensions for the next fis-
cal year will not be less than SI4O,OCO,
600, and it may exceed that sum. The
subcommittee of the house appropria-
tions committee. which is now draft
ing the measure, find that the most
rigid economy will not enable them to
reduce the amount necessary for the
maintenance of the pension Offices be-
yond the sum of $50, 900 in the appro-
priation for fees for examining sur
geons. This saving will result not
from reducing the fees, but because d
surplus to that amount will remain
unexpended from this years appro-
priatious.
The bill will be reported to the full
committee to-day or Monday and be
placed on the house calendar with the
executive and legislative bill next
week.

Untold Danger and Damage Threatened

DURAND, Wis, Dec. 1.-The situa-
tion on the bottoms is undated. The
terrible water and the ice flood ex-
tend over miles in Il sea in the low
country, and the damage to live stock
and hay and grain aggregate thou
sands of dollars. One or two men re-
fused rescue, and no word has since
been heard from them. About thirty
people who were brought here are be-
ing taken care of in the county build
ing. at this place the water is in
every street and has flooded the base
ments of many dwellings, forcing the
people to move out. The railway track
is damaged and washed out for sew
eraI miles between here and Wabasha.
Should the jam above Eau Claire
break there is no telling the danger
and damage that will ensue to Durand
and vicinity. 1t is impossible for
trains to move more than six miles
below here.

Havana bankers Tender Aid GO the Reb-
els.
New YORK, Dee. 3.-The Ward Line
steamship Yumuri. recently mp from
Havana, brought news of the revolu-
tion which has greatly encouraged the
CIbans in this city. The Yumuri was
in the harbor of Havana on the day of
the second departure of Capt.-Gen.
Weyler in quest of Maceo.
A Cuban who had escaped to Mex
leo was one of the first cabin passen-
gers. He came on secret mission to
the junta and Travelled under an as
sumed name. He said yesterday
morning that when the Yumuri left
Havana everything was in confusion
In the city. Business in Havana was
at a standstill. Half the stores were
shut up and scarcely anybody except
Spanish soldiers were to be seen in
the streets. Persons suspected of in
surrectionary leanings were watched
by spies and were in constant danger
of being thrown into prison.
In letter to Cuban in New York
which escaped the Spanish censors is
the statement that number of Ha-
vana bankers who have hitherto held
aloof from the revolution have sent
word to Gomez and Maceo that they
would let them have money to buy
arms with if they would hurry the
war to close. These bankers, it is
said, are very much annoyed at Wey-
ler's mismanagement of affairs, in con-
sequence of which their business has
been seriously impaired.

SOLDIERS. HOME OFFICIALS


To BE Prosecuted In Iowa for Violation OF
United States Statute In Regard
Pensions and Pensioners.
DIES MONIES, Dee. SC. .. Fulton,
federal attorney for the southern dis
trict OF Iowa, announces that he will,
next week, swear out warrants for the
arrest of the commandant ana trus-
tees OF the soldiers home at Marshall
town for violations of federal statutes
for the protection of pensioners. They
will be charged with the violation of
sections 4747 to 4749. Revised Statutes
Two years ago a rule was adopted
requiring that all pensioners pay the
home their pensions in excess of 81 per
month. The inmates took the matter,
to court, and the Marshall county
court held against the rule. The su-
preme court reversed this, and the rule
is now being enforced, the money
raised being turned over to the sup
port fund of the institution.
Attorney Fullen has discovered that
the rule seems to be in violation of the
statutes referred to, which make it q
mlsdemeanor, punishable by fine and
imprisonment, to hold or attempt to
CHAOACS any lien against a pension.
The rule in Iowa prevails in tho
homes of several other states, and if
the court decides against the Iowa in
stitution, it will apply to all alike. The
only exception made by the federal
statute is in the case of the national
soldiers and sailors homes, which ara
allowed to hold in trust for pensioners
all their pensions above five dollars per
month, to be turned over to them at
their discharge, or to their heirs in
case of death; no part of it can be con-
fiscated.
