GROWING AFRAID.
A Statement as to McKinIey's Re-
ligious Predictions.

Statement as to McXinIey's Re-
Iigious Predictions
CLEVELAND, O., April 15-The fol-
lowing statement is given to the AS
ISOLATED Press by James B. Morrow,
editor of the Cleveland Leader, a news
paper, which perhaps more nearly rep
resents Mckinley than does any other
paper.
Persons who contend to be conspic-
ucus members of the A. P A. have
given circulation to the statement that
Hon. VIM. Mckinley is a member of
the Ancient Order of Hibernians, that
NJ. A. Hanna, who is Mr.. Mckinley S
personal and political friend. is a Ro-
man Catholic and that Mr.. Boyle, Mr.
McKinley's private secretary, is also
Catholic and finally that while Mr..
Mckinley was governor of Ohio, his
appointments were largely made from
the membership of a certain religious
denomination. It is urged, therefore,
that Mr.. Mckinley is not the right
kind of an American.
This statement is untrue in part
and in whole. Mr.. McKinleys Ameri-
canism reaches back to the war for in
dependence. William Mckinley him
self was a private in the union army
while yet a boy, and carried a nlusket
for four years. He is a member of the
Methodist Episcopal church and has
been member of the denomination
nearly all his life. His ancestors and
his family for two generations have
been Protestants, Methodists and Pres
byterians.
cat this time Mr.. Mckinley is one
Of the trustees of the First NJ. e. church
of Canton, Ohio; moreover Mr.. McKin-
ley is not a member of the A. o. H.,
nor the A. P. A. However, he is a Free
Mason, conrrade of the G. A. r., a
member of the Union Veteran Union,
of the Sons of the American Reyolu-
ton, of the Loyal Legion and OF a
college fraternity And these are the
only secret societies with which Mr..
Mckinley has any connection what
ever. The charge that his appointments
to office while he was governor of Ohio
were largely made from the Roman
Catholic church or any other church
is ridiculous and untrue. He believes
ell men should be permitted to worship
God in the manner that squares with
his conscience.
81 am authorized to say that Mr..
Mckinley knows nothing whatever
about the application of a committee
from any organization to visit him al
Canton. He has never refused to meet
any person or any committee of any
kind, nor declined to have any commit
tee interview him on any subject what
ever. 1t should be stated also that
both Mr.. M A. Hanna and Mr.. Boyle
are lifelong members of the Protestant
Episcopal church. I make this state
ment in behalf of truth, so that every

There is now hope that the efforts Of
the United States to mediate between
Spain and the Cuban insurgents will
result in the bringing about of nego-
tiations between the rebel leaders and
the Spanish government. At least
Spain shows signs of acceding to the
request recently made by President
Cleveland for acceptance of the good
offices of the United States The ne
gotiations are in the hands of Secretary
Olney and Senior Dupuy De LONE, the
Spanish minister at this capital Senior
De LONE, acting under instructions
from his government, has made certain
inquiries as TO the method which the
president proposes to follow. If the
Spanish minister of foreign affairs
finally accepts the good offices of this
government, General Fitzhugh Lee,
our new consul-general at Havana,
will be instructed to sound the insur-
gent leaders as to their willingness to
accept reforms in Cuba, and on these
being guaranteed to lay down their
arms.

Cuban Notes.


NEW YORK, April 1.-THE World
this morning prints the following cor
respondence from Santiago de Cuba.
dated April 5:
A Spanish force of 1,4O0 men made
UP from the Simanca regiment and the
Manzanilla guerillas under Colonel
Santos, defeated 800 insurgents under
Tamaya April near Vequita The
insurgents lost % killed and 81 woun-
ded.
The Spanish loss was insignificant.
This defeat enraged the rebels, who
were aware that the Spanish general,
Gonzales, with 1000 men, must pass a
place called Gallego that day, and de-
cided to wait for them. The rebels
were reinforced by Puayal's and Will
SON parties until they numbered 1900.
AS soon as the Spaniards appeared the
Cubans began firing steadily. Gene
raj Gonzales placed his vanguard in
charge of Colonel Mendez, who made
a gallant defense, but the rebels gained
a complete victory. The Spanish aban-
doned the field, leaving three dead and
III wounded. OF the Cubans nine were
killed and tWenty-four wounded The
insurgents captured sixty guns and a
large quantity of ammunition.
Near Auseca the Spanish captain,
Perez, with $50 guerrillas, was defeated
April 1 by Lieutenant Colonel Car
ranze at the head of 400 insurgents.
The Spanish loss was 10 killed and SO
wounded, the insurgent loss four killed
and nine wounded
General Obregon with 100 Spanish in
fantry and cavalry met the insurgent
forces of General Himiniz Vasquez, 800
strong, under Sagua de Tanamo. The
insurgent leader attacked the Spanish
vanguard with rifles and on the TANKS
with a machete charge. which so ter
rorized the soldiers that the column
became demoralized and fed. General
Obregon found himself in immediate
danger of capture. OF the Spaniards
ninety were killed and 1S5 wounded.
The rebels lost four killed and thirty
wounded.
The Spanish commander Garrida with
one battalion of regulars and his guer-
rillas, 800 in all, met rebel leader Bonne
with LOO men near Montesano plan
tation March 81. There was fghtlng
for more than an hour, both sides SUI
fering heavily According to private
reports the Spaniards lost nearly ZVo
killed and wounded.
