HAVANA, March l2.-Antonio Maceo
is once more in Havana province.
Tuesday it was announced that Gen.
eral Weyler would shortly remove his
headquarters from Havana to Ma
tanzas in order the more conveniently
to direct the operations against the in
surgents, who had retreated into Santa
Clara. Meantime, Maceo. and his fol-
lowers, including Bandera and Lacret,
seem TO have turned upon their road,
gone through the line Of troops like
small fish through the meshes Of .

tire province Of Matanzas. Before he

him he was at Neuva Pasa, fairly
across the Matanzas border and in

INDIANAPOLIS, March Ex-Governor

the nominee, replied emphatically: ,
Harrison. think that his friends
are doing some mighty good and eff
fective work right now. I should not
be bit surprised if the convention is,
stampeded for General Harrison. I
have not thought. and do not think,
that the general has been out of the
race at any stage. His letter, lam
forced to suspect, was only of policy.
Next to General Harrison, look upon
Senator Allison as the probable nomi-
nee. He is q safe, conservative man,
but he lacks q good deal in courage and
frmness. l do not regard Reed as at
all in the race. McKinley's men are
OVERRIDING their efforts and I do not re-
gard him as most serious quantity.
He is making enemies perhaps faster
than he is making friends. Morton is
not even q factor"

THE OHIO CONVENTION.

Through.
COLUMBUS March 12.-The Republi.
can state con vention has concluded its
session. It was more Of Mckinley
rally than tho usual party business as
sembly. It was held two or three
months earlier than usual in order to
proclaim to the country the sentiment
of McKinley's state. Not since the in.
dorsement Of r. B Hayes for the presi-
dency at the Republican state conven.
ton in 1876 has there been such . har-
monious meeting Of representative
Republicans in Ohio. When Senator
Sherman was Endorsed for president ut
the state conventions of 1880, lSS4land
1888 there were bitter contests, and it
required considerable effort in 1892 to
prevent open oppos ton in the Ohio
state convention to Harrison for sec.
ond term. While the slate was carried
out for delegates at large and alter.
mates to the St. Louis convention with
out q scratch or dissenting vote, it was
broken on the state ticket. The dele
gates at large and the state ticket are
as follows:
The Ticket Nominated.
Delegates at Large-Governor.A Asa s.
Bushnell, Senator-elect J. B. Foraker.
Congressman Charles H. Grosvenor
and Hon. Marcus "A. Hanna.

The platform presented to the con.
vention was largely a reproduction Of
Governor McKlnley's Chicago speech,
with changes to suit the occasion. The
principles there enunciated were not
materially altered. The financial plank
favors blmetallism and demands the
use Of both gold and silver as standard
money, either in accordance with q
ratio to be fixed by an international
agreement, if that can be obtained, or
under such restrictions and such pro-
visions to be determined by legislation
as will secure the maintenance of the
PARTIES of the values of the two metals,

power of the dollar, whether of silver,
gold or paper, shall be at all times

STILL TALKING CUBA
Strong Plea Against the Reso-
luton by Senator Hoar Of
Massachusetts.
Congressional Meddling In
Foreign Affairs Roundly
Denounced.
Surprised His Hearers by Pay
ing a Tribute to Secre-
tary Olney.

WASHINGTON. March lathe Cuban
debate in the senate has advanced to
the stage Of one Of the great debates of
the American congress and the speech
of Senator Hoar was another eventful
feature of the discussion.
In this debate the senators and the
crowded galleries are kept at high ten.
sion by such stirring themes as war
and patriotism and liberty. Mr.. Hoar's
speech was notable in setting forth the
conservative view of the subject and
urging postponement of action until
April e. This developed many sharp
controversies with Mr.. Sherman and
other senators. In the ma n the speech
was plea for calm, dlgnified and ju-
dicial action.
Calls Sherman a Great Statesman.
Mr.. Hoar characterized his colleague,
Mr.. Sherman, as one of the great
statesmen of the country. whose name
would go down IN history along with
that of Lincoln, Grant, Seward, Fish
and his iliustrious brother, and he be-
sought the Ohio senator not to obliter-
ate this brilliant record by hasty and
unguarded action on the Cuban ques-
ton. Mr.. Hoar did not confine himself
to Cuba, but spoke against congress
sional meddling in any foreign nego-
ton. In this connection he paid a
glowing tribute to Secretary Olney,
and, while differing with him politi
caily, MIR. Hoar said the secretary of
state was u 'clear-headed, old fash
toned Massachusetts, Yankee" who
Could Re safely Trusted

senator added like tribute to the sin.
cerity of President Cleveland in deal
ing with the Venezuelan question and
declared that any action by congress at
lacking the presidents course would be
an attack on America. Mr.. Hoar's res
olution for postponement lost its par
liamentary status at 2 o'clock and
went to the calendar, Mr.. Sherman an.
nouncing that from this time forward
he would press the priviledged ques'
tion-the conference report accepting
the house Cuban resolutions.

Speaker Worthing that the clerk of
each house should call the roll for the

strategy of both parties through the
few days that remain of this session,
and that neither party will elect a
senator.
The Last II ,llot Taken.
The chief clerk in calling the names
of the members of the senate on the

James and Walton, the two Republican
senators. The clerk Of the house omit

Republicans refused to vote at all with
