HAVANA, May lit was definitely
announced today that on the day the
five men captured on the Competitor
were tried, Friday last. Admiral Ma
varo, in confoI nifty with the petition
of the prosecutor and the sentence of
the naval tribunal, approved and
signed the sentences of death imposed
upon the ffibusters Alfredo Laborde;
DR.. Ellis Bedia, William Gildea, John

nouncement is supplemented by the
statement that in view of high state
considerations, the cases have been re-

Two alleged f1libusters, both citizens
of the United States, said to have
formed part of the Competitor expedi-

Bahai Honda. They were captured
by the local guerillas of Palma, some
time after their landing. The steamer
Triter has brought here a small boat
abandoned on the coast by the mayor

have belonged to a small expedition

Trying to Mis1ead.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, May 11.-Gov-
ernor Altgeld was shown Comptroller
EckePs interview by the Associated
Press representative tonight. The gov
ernor said: 1.-The persistent and loud
iterations about unfair primaries is
without any foundation and every in
telligent gold standard man in Chicago
knows this; and the fact that they
keep it up shows that they are trying
to mislead the public and % divert
attention from the iniquitous character
of their cause and the unpopularity of
President Cleveland, whom they are
supporting. The conduct of the Cleve-
land gold standard men was eXtraordl-
nary. For after the federal admins
tration had so ruined the Democratic
party that if the national election were
held then we could not carry a single
state in the Union, it was certainly a
piece of impudence of the adherents of
this administration to attempt to die
tate to the Democrats of Illinois. Mr.
Eckels says that a silver platform
means an abandonment of New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut AS 1 re-
member an election was held there not
long ago inviting a gold platform
And when the fight was over we had
not men enough left to bury our
dead. A silver fight on a similar
platform was made in Maryland and
Kentucky as well as number of other
states and if there is anything left
for US to lose in any of those states it
certainly is not visible

sound money" interests of the Demo-
cratic party in this state. In an in
terview tonight he said:
my stay in this city has nothing
whatsoever to do with politics or the
sound money movement"
After criticising Governor Altgeld
and other free silver leaders on ac-
count of the manner in which they
propose to conduct the primary cleo
lions in Chicago, and criticising Gov
ernor Altgeld for his recent attacks
upon President Cleveland, he said:
There is nothing to be gained by
abusing everyone; and the charges Of
corrupt methods employed is, to say
the least, in very bad taste. / do not
know whether those who are engineer
ing the silver movement in Illinois
consider the course they are pursuing
is a winning one in politics or not, but
If so l am certain they will be disap-
pointed in the result on election day.
1t means at the outset the complete
abandonment of important states like
New York, New Jersey and Connecti-
cut It involves the loss of Maryland,
Delaware and Kentucky. 1t could not
save Indiana To make this loss good
enough thoroughly silver states would
have to be won to give majority in
the electoral college. Colorado, Mon
tana, Utah, Nevada and Idaho would
possibly go Democratic, but when
those are named, the whole gain IS
enumerated The electoral vote of all
would not equal New York. Mr.. Boies
could not carry Iowa, Kansas or Ne
braska and Mr. Bland could not win
in Missouri. | do not know that any
Democrat could be elected on any plat
form, but l am certain there is an
opportunity upon sound money
platform, while there is absolutely
none on the free silver one"

THERE WILT BE
A LIVELY TIME
Meeting of the Supreme Council
of the A. p. A.
SECRECY IS ATTEMPTED
BLACkLISTING OF M,KINLEY IS TO
BE REVIEWED.

WASHINGTON, May u.-About fifty
delegates to the supreme council Of
the american Protective association
are in the city for the convention
which begins tomorrow and which. on
account of the troublesome question
to be dealt with, will probably be in
session for several days. The most
profound secrecy is attempted to be
observed by all of the delegates so that
1t is most difficult to secure informant ton
concerning the factional differences
which are brewing. Members do not
conceal the fact that there will be a
warm debate over the recent action of
the executive committee in placing
Mckinley on the presidential blacklist
This step is to be. reviewed and the
executive committee will be required
by the friends of Mckinley in the
order. chief among whom are the Ohio
and Kentucky delegates, TO present the
proof on which the charges against
Mckinley were based.
There is we'll defined rumor that
western free silver delegates who de-
clare their intention to secure a free
silver plank for the A P. A. platform
will also endeavor to force the A. P. A.
into political alliance with the Popu
llSt party.
Supreme President H. ]. Traynor.
today declared that if the old parties
refuse TO recognize the principles of the
q A, call will be issued for a.
national convention to organize a new
party which Mr.. Traynor said will be
joined by citizens who are tired of ring
rule
A meeting Of the full advisory board
Will be held tomorrow night when the
action of the executive committee of
that board on McKinley's candidacy
will be considered and it is thought
will be approved. The fight will come
in the council meetings.
Meetings were held today by the
Judiciary and executive committees
the latter for the purpose of reviewing
the treasurer's accounts
Most of the delegates here are from
the southern and western states. Some
OF the men prominent in the order are:

BUTTE, Mont, May 1.-THE Repub-
lican state convention today was pre-
sided over BIZ Colonel o. P. Chisholm.
of Rozeman. The first fight of the con-
vention was ever the contesting delega-
lions from Granite county. The con-
vention, by vote of 1872 to 100, seaGed
anita. P. A. delegates. The platform
contains the following
DECLARATION ON SILVER:
1--WE reiterate our faith in and devo-
ton to the great Republican principles
OF bimetallism, protection and reciproc-
ity, announcing as our understanding
of bimetallism the free and unlimited
coinage of both gold and silver at the
ratio of l6 to l, Independently by the
United States. We maintain that these
are three cardinal principles of Repub-
lican faith, and should be the first con-
Slderation Of the congress OF the united
States, and that ample legislat ton be
enacted upon these subjects.
I'VE call the attention OF rejecting
men to the recent marvellous develop
ment of productive and manufacturing
enterprises in China, Japan, India and
other silver using countries, and sub
nit that the competition with which
we are thus menaced imperatively de-
mands the restoration of silver to its
ancient money functions as means
of equalizing the difference in exchange
and the re-establishment of the
PROTECTIVE TARIFF POLICY
as a necessary means of equalizing the
difference in wages and cost of living.
I'VE maintain that while the protec-
tive tariff policy is indispensable as a
means Of equalizing wages and the cost
of living, it will not, in and OF itself,
suffice to meet the difference in ex-
change which gives a bounty Of about
100 per cent. to the silver-using coun-
tries.
I'VE condemn as un-Republican and
un-statesmanlika the action of those
Republicans IN congress who in def
ance of Republican traditions, rushed
to the aid of a Democratic administrd-
ton and Democratic majority in con-
gress in securing the unconditional re-
peal of the Sherman law, and we as
sert that the repeal of that law has
utterly failed TO ACCOMPLISH single
beneficient result predicted by the enc
mics of silver"
Charles @. johnson, of Silver Bow
offered a substitute resolution, that dele
gates to St. Louis walk out Of the con-
veution if nothing is done for silver
After several short speeches it was laid
on the table.
Senators Carter and Mantle and Con-
gresham Hartman were nominated as
delegates to st. Louis by reclamation.
A number OF nominal tons for the other
three places were made and the con-
vention took recess till night to ballot.
Those nominated were ]. W. Power, of
Benton. brother of the ex-senator; J.
w. Strevelle. of Miles City; L. G.
Phelps. of Great Falls; Alex. Mitzell.
OF Madison county; L. H. Hershfield,

COMMON SENSE NEEDED IN OUR
NAVY.

In every day life, common sense teaches
us when we want anything done to go
to man who makes that thing his bust
ness, but matters are managed differently
in the United States navy. AT the head
of a navy yard is line officer who has
been taught seamanship, but who, unless
he is also an engineer, has no knowledge
of what is necessary to be done to repair
condenserS, pumps, or SeparatOrs, and
miles of piping. disabled engines, or boil
ers. This is certainly wrong, and, from
business point of view, marine engineer
of recognized ability should be made di-
rector OF repairs. Such a man should
possess great physical powers, for She
work would be of severe character. He
feSsion, and he should be known to have
progressive ideas. He should also possess
knowledge of the ships and of their ma
chinery. Such a man could call upon the
heads of the great manufacturing eStab-
lishments in this country for assistance
i'll time of emergency. He could learn be-
forehand what kind and number of men
each establishment could furnish him, and
also what repairs each eSta blishment
could undertake The patterns for parts
that might require duplication should be
distributed among these establishments.
Just as the great engine manufactures
of this country now build their engines, in
duplicate interchangeable parts, many at
a time, thus reducing the cost, so should
our government build vessels in duplicate,
thus reducing their cost. This system
would prove of great service whenever
repairs became necessary. Such director
of repairs, with assistance at each repair
station. would bring the system into bust
ness order.-Erom The Engineer in Naval
Warfare by Gardiner G. Sims, of the
American Society of Mechanical Engin-
GERS, in North American Review for May.

Judgment of the lower court directing
that the decree be set aside.
The plaintiff commenced his action
of ejeetment against the defendant to
recover four and a half acres of land
described in his complaint. The de-

plant was also filed by defendant, in
which he set up an agreement con-
tanning an option with respect to the
conveyance of two and half acres of
land and ten acres upon which he al
