Jones Talks.

Chicago, H., Nov. AT midnight
Chairman Jones gave out the follow
ing signed statement: There is at this
time, midnight, no reason to think
that any one of the states claimed for
Bryan has failed to vote for him.
While misleading reports are being
sent out in all directions, private ad-
vices assure us that each one of these
states has gone for Mr.. Bryan. For
two hours the most eXtravagant
claims as to Kentucky and Indiana
have been telegraphed all over the
country, while within the last few
minutes our committees assure US that
both are safe to us. Mr.. Bryan is
certainly elected"
Il have seen no unfavorable report
from any state that we have ever
claimed except Kentucky" said Mr.
Jones at II p. IN. "Reports from that
state indicate larger detection
than we anticipated, but we don't
concede that state, by any means.
We can lose Kentucky and will then
have enough electoral votes to win."
At lip. m., Chairman Jones re-
ceived message from State Chairman
Martin stating that Indiana was abso-
lutely certain for Bryan. Private tel
egrams from Michigan indicated large
Democratic gains and the Democratic
committee based their hopes on Bry-
ans election upon the result in these
two states.
At 1:15 a. m. Chairman Jones said
This whole affair this evening has
been most extraordinary. l have just
received word from Raleigh, n. c.,
and the chairman of that state states
that North Carolina is absolutely safe
for Bryan, and by at least 20, 600 ma.
jority, and yet reports have been Civ
ing it to Mckinley all evening. This
is only specimen of the way things
are going. The Republicans seem tt
have taken charge of the returns anC
arc sending them out to suit their owl
purposes. There is something wrong

rope will make the sultan understand
that not only the Armenians, but the
Catholics and the Musselmans are suf-
fering from the same evils and need
some ameliorations and will show him
that the cause of these evils is a bad
internal administration. 1t will indi-
cate the means to establish order ev-

GENERAL ELECTION.
FIRST REPORTS FAVORABLE TO
M'KlNLEY,
New England and the Middle States Car
ried by the Republicans-Many States
in Doubt-Reports are Coming In Slow.
Chairman Jones Talks.

Chicago, Ill.,, Nov. 4.-The returns
received up to midnight last night in
dicate the probable election of Mckln-
ley and Hobart, although the returns
are so meagre from number of doubt
full states that this conclusion can only
be reached by an estimate based upon
the gains and losses.
The best returns obtainable show
that Maine and Maryland give MAORI
ties somewhat reduced from the Sep
tember election.
New Hampshire gives about 10000,
Massachusetts about 10000 and Rhode
Island and Connecticut proportionate
majorities, all for Mckinley.
New York is estimated at about l25,-
900 and Pennsylvania is likely to reach
the same figure, if not greater.
Maryland has been carried for the
Republican candidate for president by
a majority exceeding 10000, and Della
ware is confidently claimed by the Re
publicans, although the plurality is not
likely to exceed 1000.
The returns from West Virginia are
not sufficient to justify the claim OF
either party.
Ohio has given very large Republi-
can plurality, and Kentucky is appar-
emily assured to the Mckinley column,
although later returns may not justify
this claim.
Tennessee seems to have been car
ried for Bryan, Notwithstanding the
confident assertions to the contrary of
the Republican managers and the same
is probably true Of North Carolina.
Indiana and Michigan, as we'll as
Minnesota, indicate heavy Republican
gains and a strong probability that
they have gone for Mckinley.
Illinois will give Mckinley oye-' 1O0,-
900 plurality.
Nebraska and North and South Da-
kota are very close, and still in doubt.
Wyoming seems to have gone fol-
Mckinley.
The returns from the Pacific coast
states are too meagre to justify any
claim respecting them.
The states of Virginia, South Caro-
lima, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Lou
isiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Colorado
Nevada, Montana and Idaho may safe
ly be placed in the Bryan column.
The returns from Kansas and Texas
are scattered and indicate nothing, al
though heavy Republican gains are re.
ported from Dallas and Galveston.
At 1890 later returns seem to indi
cate that West Virginia, Michigan and
Kentucky can be added to the Republi
can column.

Count Okuma Shigenobu has enter

Havana Will be Attached.

New York, Nov. ga special from
Key West, Fla, says: A prominent
Cuban resident of this city said that
without assuming the role of prophet
he could positively announce that the
city of Havana would be besieged by
Maximo Gomez within the next sixty
days. TO that end, he said Gomez and
all the rebel forces we're now marching
westward toward the capital.
This Cuban is in direct communica-
ton with the insurgent leaders in the
field, and is the local medium through
whom all insurgent correspondence for
the New York junta passes. He also
stated that there was no confirmation
Of a rumor circulated by Cuban passen-
gers who arrived here Sunday night
that the towns in the immediate cut
skirts Of the city of Havana had been
already besieged by the insurgents.
While the Havana papers, many OF
which were received by steamer Sun
day night, continue to maintain silence
in regard to Maceo's movements since
his brilliant attack on Artemisa, ten
days ago, it is still insisted by active
partisans here in direct communication
with the leaders in Cuba that he un-
questionably crossed the military
trocha at that point during the bonn
bardment of the town, and with
small following has since marched
through the entire province of Ha-
vana, and is now in Colon, a central
point in Matanzas province. 1t is also
alleged that his mission there is to
concentrate and assume command or
the forces of Ricardo, Trujilo, Rojas
and other minor rebel leaders, who
have been operating in that vicinity
with between 1000 and 5000 we'll arm
ed men.
Notwithstanding the persistency OF
this report, other Cubans here appar-
emily equally we'll informed, expressed
a. doubt that Maceo has left the prov
ince of Pinar del Rio, which move
ment they say would imply defeat ny
the superior forces sent against him
by Capt. Gen. Weyler The explana-
ton, however, is offered that no aban-
donment of territory has been made,
as Gen. Rius Rivera. a veteran OF the
last war. has been left in command OF
the insurgent forces in Pinar del Rio,
while Maceo has gone eastward. in
obedience to orders from his supertors,
to operate with Meximo Gomez IN the
latter's new campaign of invasion.
Gomez has not been heard from since
his attack on the town of Cascorro,
and the subsequent engagement OF
Desmayo plantation, where he de-
feated Gen. Jimipex Castellano. Span
ish official dispatches report large in
surgent forces moving westward from
Cimarronez, in MatanZas province.
near Cardenas, where an important az
tack by the rebels is momentarily e2-
pected.
The ominous silence of Gomez is
said to presage the planning of Sc
ries of important attacks on the pr1n'
cipal cities within Havana and Matan-
zas provinces, his recent apparent in
activity having been caused only by a
desire to await the arrival OF all the
new reinforcements from Spain and
their distribution throughout the Is
