Portland (Ore.) Man. with . History,
Convicted Of Bank Robbery ut Cape
Town.
PORTLAND. Ore, May s.--News has
been received here from Cape Town,
South Africa, announcing the impris-
onment there of Stephen Wuermer,
Portland young man, for attempted
bank robbery. Wuermer has an ex-
traordinary history. At the age of 90
years he eloped from the city with
Mrs. Margaret Branden. whose hus-
band followed the couple to Silver
City, Idaho, where he shot Wuermer,
but the worthless fellow recovered.
Wuermer then joined gang of Idaho
outlaws, and was next heard from at
Boise City, where he was arrested for
stage robbery. By means of perjured
testimony he was acquitted, and a year
later he turned mp in Prescott, Ariz.,
where he robbed an express rider of
5000, for which he was sentenced to ten
years imprisonment. After serving
two years he was pardoned, and disap
peared.
In February last he walked into a
private bank at Cape Town, covered
the clerks with shotgun, helped him
self to about 5000 in gold and made
his escape. He was pursued by mount
ed policemen, captured, tried, con.
victed and sentenced to 25 years in the
penitentiary.

NEW YoRK, May s..The following
letter from the Cuban insurgent en-
campment at Maguarayas, dated April
l6. has been received by Thomas Es-
trada Palma:
~ have been operating within this
zone during the last two months, and
I am satisfied Of the success i have at
txined, although the Spaniards have
given he few Opportunities to meet
them. They boast, however, that they
are always after us. but that we avoid
fghting; but I assure ron that such II
not the case. They hardly venture
out. and when they do they arc very
careful to remain within short dis
tance of q fortified place.
"But If they are unwilling to meet
our soldiers, they are very active in
committing all sorts of oufraRes
against the country people they come
across. Scarcely anyone is left alive,
for they proceed on the theory that
every Cuban is arebel, no matter what
his attitude may have been.
Among the atrocities lately COM
mitted by the Spanish Twill describe
the following. They are . fair sample
Of the work they are doing:
"a column commanded by Gen.
Luque, on April II, while passing Ma
guarayas, fred house where Mar
cisco Lopez, an American citizen, was
bfeakfasting. They made him pris-
oiier, took him to the roadway, shot
dim and left the corpse unburied.
''The small column commanded by
Lazo, April II, while passing Sant0
Domingo, seized 1S peaceable citizens
and shot them all. The official report
says that they had an encounter with
Cuban forces which they routed, kill
ing them.
sA day hardly passes without afro
cities of the kind stated, and were to
attempt to give you an account of those
which have come to my knowledge
within the last three weeks, would
have to flll many pages. But how
mistaken are the Spaniards If they
suppose that such misdeeds will break
the spirit of our people. for the re-
verse is the invariable result.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May s.-McKin-
ley had everything his own way in the
Indiana republican state convention
to-day. The forlOrn hope of his oppo-
nents lay in the expectation that Har-
rison would address the convention
this morning and create such whirl
of enthusiasm for himself that the in-i
tention- to instruct, SO plainly shown
In the district meetings the night
before, would be abandoned. Harri-
son, however, when q committee from
the convention waited upon him this
morning, politely declined the invita-
ton without vouchsafing his reason
One of his friends explains It by de-
claring that Harrison stayed away
lest his action in attending should be
construed into an effort to influences
the action of the convention.
The fight was SO Onc-sided that &
was carried on with comparatively lit
tie enthusiasm. The instructions
and they were very binding in. their
nature--were contained in the plat
form. They created brief period of
cheering when presented, and this was
uct Dy cOunter Ci8mOE. lu0y VETO
passed by viva voce vote, with about
two-thirds of the convention voting
for them and the other third giving
voice to their opposition with lusty
lungs.
This done, the convention pro-
ceeded to elect the delegates-at-large
by ballot.
Ex-Secretary of the Navy R. w
Thompson, Gen. Lew Wallace, C. w.
Fairbank and #. NJ. Millikin were
elected, ,-the first two by exclamation
and the others by ballot. Mr.. Fair
banks, who has generally been COM
sidered the next United States senas
tor, had narrow escape of 16 votes
from defeat.
The preliminary work thus finished
the convention dived inf6sthe work Of
nominating a governor. with 12 mon

day in balloting, the following ticket
being the result of the days labors:
