Gen. Henderson Explains His Presi-
Dental Candidacy.


CHICAGO. March 13.-Ex-Senator Mander-
son, Of Nebraska passed through Chicago to-
day en- route from Omaha to Washington.
There is nothing in my candidacy" said
Gen. Henderson, but what appears on the
SURFACE. For year and more friends in Ne
braska and elsewhere have urged me to allow
the use OF my name but for long time l de-
chned. Finally l concluded that / would not
lnterpose further objection. 1t was a mere
coincidence that my consent was given at a
time when the candidates. of several others
were uncovered. The movement in my behalf
is not inspired or in any way controlled by any
political leader or any combination of politi-
clans in the East. Much less is it antagonis-
tic to any one of the distinguished gentlemen
who are contesting for the lead in the presi-
Dental race"
Then you were not brought out to head off
the Mckinley boom in the East?'
Nothing could be further from the truth
Maj. Mckinley is my friend. l recognize his
ability and strength l believe he will be nom
mated. In my own state he can and is well
delegates. All ask is that the delegates from
Nebraska have an opportunity to present my
name, II by doing so they do not jeopardize
Maj. McKiney's interest. Less than this, 1
could not do, my friends think in justice to
myself. The Mckinley sentiment is very
strong in Nebraska, but it is not presumption
in me to think that Nebraskans would like to
nave Nebraskan for president, if Maj. Nc
Kinley should not receive the nomination.
My name has been received with gratifying
enthusiasm by the press and people of Ne
sincerity. That is about all there is to say
unless l repeat that 1 am not talking horse,
and that my candidacy stands on its merit,
without prejudice to any other.''

WINONA, Mimi, March 13.-John
FISCHER, young man who resides in
this city and has previous to this date
been well and favorably known, is now
behind the bars of the county Jail, hav-
ing been arrested at the postofice here
this afternoon.
1t appears for some time articles
have been missing from the mails. Not
only were letters opened, but even
fourth-class mail was missed and never
found. Suspicion centered upon a GER
tain mail clerk, the aforementioned
Fischer, and two government specials,
A. d. Wood and ]. A. Ferril, have been
working on the case for some time
The climax was reached yesterday, and
the thief detected by the use of decoy
letters. Five decoys were sent, two
from New Ulm, one from Mankato,
one from WaSeca and one from OWa-
tonna. SeVenty-five cents, a half-dol-
lar and quarter were taken from one
sent from New Ulm and the amount re-
placed with stamps, which Fischer aft
erwards confessed he stole. The Man.
kato letter was opened and a nickel
and dime taken and their places
filled with stamps also. All the coins
had previously been marked, so that
they could afterwards be easily iden-
tilted. Upon arrival in this city from
his mail run on the Winona & ST.
Peter division of the Northwestern he
went to the postoffice. Here he was
Immediately pounced upon. 1t did not
take the officers long to get a confess
sion out of him and find the marked
coins upon his person. Fischer was
taken to the county Jail.

GETTING CLOSE TO HAVANA.
Forces of the Insurgents Moving
Towards the CapitaI.

HAVANA March 13.-Advices received here
from the province of Santa Clara say that
the insurgents forbid the country families
from going into the towns in accordance with
the orders of Gen. Weyler. Gomez is also
reported to have declared it to be unneces-
sary to baptize children or to perform the
ceremony of marriage, and it is stated that
there are no priests in camps of the insur-
gents.
The insurgents are again in the central por-
ton of Havana province in force, and are
moving westward to the neighborhood of the
city of Havana. Col. Figuerra reports that
he was fired upon by the vanguard of Gomez s
forces in the district of Jovellanos. Havana
province. After a short skirmish the rebels
retreated. Another report issued today says
Antonio Maceo has entered the province of
Havana along the South coast.
For six days the horizon has shown smoke
and fires some near and some distant The
fires have kept UP increasingly. The insur-
gents have burned the village of Piiirigua
in the district of Mangas, Pinar del Rio.
There are conflicting reports as to the per-
sonal whereabouts of Gomez and Maceo, but
there is no doubt that a large force of the
insurgents is moving rapidly westward again.
1t is said tonight that Gomez is still in Ma
tanzas between Cienago swamp and Colon.
Antonio Maceo has made a rapid march
westward, passing south of Guara and Melena,
in the direction of Pinar del Rio. He avoids
fighting and takes flight when force of
troops appear and keeps at distance from
all forts. It is supposed here that the cause
of his rapid march is to meet an expedition
which is expected to land.

enue laws. He has succeeded in un-
earthing and capturing three Illicit
stills-one in the vicinity of Berne,

possession of another German farmer,
named Fred Andrist.

parties that the stills were all made
by the same man, e. G. Bucholz, hard
ware merchant and tinsmith at Pine
Island, returned here today and con-
fronted him with the evidence of his
guilt. Mr.. Bucholz admits having made
two Of the stills in question, but de-
nies having made the third one There
is little doubt but all of the parties
implicated will be brought to trial.

BEAUFORT, S. c., March 13.-The Indiana

cumstances prevent. The dock has been made
and all that the ship awaits is high water

She steamed slowly up the channel and it
was $3.50 o'clock when she reached the naval
station. At that time the tide had fallen and
the docking of the vessel had to be post
poned. On the trip from Hampton Roads the
ship ran into a gale at o'clock Wednesday
afternoon. The wind continued to blow at
terrific rate, at times assuming the proper
tions of a hurricane. The waves ran high
but the ship proved herself a splendid sea
boat, and was handled with ease. Capt
Evans expresses himself as greatly delighted
with her performance. in the storm. Some
water went below, caused by loose hatches
which, it is stated, are the result of firing

mad received orders, such as had been
announced in the senate: He said: 'I
believe that had the governor ordered
the sheriff to clear the senate chamber
and its cloak room, that it would have
been an act of disrespect to this body.
L now wish to recall and blot out all
that l may have said in disrespect to

ment, to retract on the part of myself
and my associates all that we have
said, and wish to say that I believe
that he acted entirely as he should.
ask pardon if l have offended any one
on this floor by offensive remarks"
Senator Deboe then arose, and said
that his remarks were called forth by
the statements of the senator from
t'ayette (Bronston). He wished to
withdraw anything offensive that he
might have said. The whole affair qui-
eted down in a minute, and a regular
love feast almost resulted.

tinues, 'in Havana some few days and had
permission to leave, and after he was on
board the American steamer Olivette was

to do with the revolution. I have personal

to lady in Havana for fear that it might
be misconstrued.'
This letter being forwarded to Mr.. Will
iams he replied that he had exhausted his
consular functions in having the case trans
ferred from the military to the civil courts

counsel, who is giving his case assiduous
