ABOUT AS GOOD AS FUSED
Democrats aud Popuiists at Bu fYalo on the
Edge of q Deal

Buffalo, n. Y. SPIT. 16.---The greatest
excitement of the day at the convention
was the announcement that there had
been a practical fusion of the Popu-
lists and Democrats. in which Senator
Hills friends had been active in as
Sisting the PopuliSts. The story came
direct from the chairman of the Popu-
list committee OF five, consisting OF
Colonel A F6Ske Of Denver, c. b. Math-
ews Of Buffalo. Sid NJ. Duryea of New
York City, Lawrence 1. McPharlin. for
merly secretary Of the national cornIni T.
tee OF the Peoples party. and C. r
Waite, president of the Farmers ALI
ance.
A conference was held with Elliott
Danforth, and Mr.. Fiske said after il
>'as over: 1T was agreed that the Pop
ulists would support the combine and
the Platform Of this convention, no mat
ter VINO the nominees were, II in return
for this support they viii be allowed
to name five presidential electors. We
told Mr. Danforth that we can swing
the electoral vote Of the state their way
and are sure the union with the Dem
ocratic party will result in Bryan and
Sewall carrying New York state by a
large majority
Mr.. Danforth said: ''Mr. Fiske did
see me, but / gave him no decided an
swer, as one OF his conditions was that
Mr.. McPharlin must be the nominee for
the court of appeals. 1 agreed TO see
him again.
To this Mr.. McPharlan said: eve
certainly understand Mr.. Danforth TO
say that he would favor such a fu-
SION
At O'Clock this afternoon another
meeting was held at Mr.. Danforth's
rooms and the matter talked over.
Mr.. Danforth said: 'T saw the COM
mittee again. They asked me if, as
chairman of the committee, 1 would ia
vor the fusion l told them 1 could
not answer that until 1 was chairman,
and / assured them would make some
arrangements with them. They said
they would try and 1 assured them
would help them"
The Populists say the interviews were
very satisfactory to them and the gen
eral impression is that they win be for
the ticket.

FIVE cUBANs PUcLICLY EXECUTED
rortures Inflicted on the victims by
Bungling Executioners--Presi-
dent CisnerOs' Manifesto.

HAVANA, March 31.-Never in modern
times has there been a more sickenIng
spectacle than that which today attend
ed the public execution of the five Cubans
condemned to death by the garrote, 'as
murderers, violators and incendiaries.
The troops were drawn up in a hollow
square and in the middle were placed a
chair and post.
Ruise, the public executioner, had
affair. The condemned men were
brought into the square to meet their fate.
One had confessed his guilt and affirmed
the innocence of all the others, who also
protested they we're guiltless.
The first man took his seat in the chair
calmly, the iron collar was fixed about
his neck and the cap was drawn over his
face. The executioner undertook to ap-
ply the screw, but was so excited that
his hand slipped repeatedly. The victim
died by slow strangulation, emitting the
most distressing cries.
The second execution was accom-
plished with even more distressing awk-
wardness, the executioner being almost
on the verge of collapse.
The protests of the officers and priests
forced Ruise to undertake the third exc
cution, but he did little better than his
assistant had done. Ruise then literally
fed from his post, leaving his assistants
to put to death the fifth unfortunate
Cuban, who suffered the same agonizing
experiences as his fellows.
