Cuban Sugar Planters Have Been Brought to Their Knees by the Action of Gen.
 era Gomez.

Philadelphia Pa, Jan. 31.-The Even ing Telegraph today states that a signifi- cant manifestation of the power wielded by the patriot government was made in this city today, when Senor Mora, su- gar planter of the province of Las Villas, came to Philadelphia from New York and made an appeal to the local junta for permission to grind sugar in that prov ince Senor Mora came as the accredited representative of the sugar planters of the entire district, and be, brought doeu- ments which proved his right to speak for them to the Cuban managers in the United States. His visit to Philadelphia was preliminary to. one he intended to make to Washington. It was Senor Mo ra's design to secure an endorsement of his request for permission to grind su- gar from the leaders in Philadelphia. and then, under their auspices, to go to Washington and appeal to Senor Estrada Palma, the Cuban plenipotentiary. for instructions to General Carillo. who is in command at Las Villas, that the plant CTS of the province be permitted to carry on their work. iafti-t
 The conference was held with Col. Emil To Nunez, who represents all the Cubans of Philadelphia, and Senor Mora's re- quest was refused. Colonel NuneZ has had frequent consultations with the oth- CT leaders here on this subject during the past two months. and planters from all parts of Cuba have come to Philadel- phia with requests similar to that made today The local junta has informally declined to interfere with the measures of war adopted by the generals on the field. t3ft @-t
 Senor Mora, after the interview with Colonel Nunez,. abandoned his intention of visiting Senor Palma at Washington. He stated that he proposed sai'irg at (s,xI ioxY r<ss1t trcu uira fc to General Gomez as commandeF-i chief of the fnsurgent forces.

Macon Telegraph: Ex-Gov. Boynton's
election as the representative from Spald-

sured. The election of Judge Boynton will
be a vindication of the wisdom of the
sound money men of Spaldng in over
coming the objection of the distinguished
Georgian to again enter active politics.
Nothing short of conviction that duty

have induced Judge Boynton to make
the sacrifices involved in a legislative

Macon Telegraph: Prohibition in Geor-
gia is aggressive this year and the Bush
bill is a nightmare of the most horrible
description to aspirants for legislative
honOrS in wet counties. Think of the
mental fortunes endured by a candidate
who is confronted by the necessity of tell
ing where he stands, when, no matter
what he says, votes in big blocks will be
lost. Why don't the men who are elected
pass law imposing the death penalty on
any man who demands to know the posi-
ton of a candidate for the legislature on

The Fight OF Reed and Mckinley for
the louisiana Delegates CONFUSING
the Party In That State.

Cincinnati, Jan. E.-The Commercial Ca
xet.e's special from Frankfort, KY. says:
There was no material change in the bal
lot for senator today, except in the sound
money Democrats shifting 10 ex-Gov.
Buckner In their complimentary vote To-
night however, there Is much agitation
among the Democratic members Of the
legislature, and a break Is anticipated on
new lines. The sound money Democrats
insist that there are those who took part
IN the caucus who feel that they have
stayed By Blackburn as long as could rea-
sonably be expected. and they want an
other candidate who can secure al the
Democrats votes and also the support OF
Poruiists Poor and Erdington. Those who
are leading In the agitation for the break
Insist that Senator Blackburn knows ne
cannot get the support Of the sound money
Democrats or OF Poor. Those favoring
new candidate regard ex-Gov. James
Young Brown as the best available man.
They say that ne can secure the solid vote
OF the Democrats IL Blackburn viii with
draw, and that he can also get the votes
OF both Poor and Erdington.
AS Blackburn has the caucus nomina-
Ion, IL is conceded by the advocates OF
this new departure that IL viii be impos-
sibse 10 elect any Democrat unless Black
burn withdraws. He has not only the eau
Gus nomination. but friends in the legtsla-
ture who viii stand by him as long as he
is in the fed. An effort Is to be made TO
get Senator Blackburn 70 Withdraw.

REED AND M.KINLEY.
Fighting Hard to Get the Delegates
From Louisiana.

New Orleans, Jan. 2a.-The meeting OF
the Republican state convention this even
ing resulted In one of the stormiest ses-
sions in the history OF the party in this
state. The fight between the Mckinley and
Reed forces for four delegates-at-large 10
the national Republican convention at 81.
Louis was complicated by the presence or
q very noisy faction Of Republicans who
cared nothing for the question OF delegates.
but were interested solely in the question
whether or not the convention should In
dorse the Populist sugar planters ticket. or
nominate a separate ticket of its own Tor
state officers.
Mckinley captured four delegates in the
districts yesterday. This made the Reed
men, led by ex-Goy. Kellogg, unusually
anxious 10 capture the four delegates-at-
large to be selected by the convention.
Can't A T. .Wimberly, the Mckinley lead
er, had gained control of the temporary or
ganization of the convention. but Kellogg
had the state central committee, which
had adjourned sine die, called together
again and the control wrested from VIM
berry. Accordingly, in the convention TO-
day, after four hours fight the Reed men,
with the help of the advocates of a state
ticket, elected r. z. Guichard temporary
chairman. 1t was then discovered that out
of a convention of some coo delegates the
seats OF 80 were contested. The -conven-
ton took a recess until the credentials COM
u1ittee could report. AT a late hour tonight
the contests are still being heard. There
is very bitter feeling between the Mchin-
" and Reed factions.
The committee on credentials remained
in session most of the night, and about go
delegates will be reported against. IL is
likely that there will be two conventions.
