BRYAN AND sEWAEG CLUB.
Held an Enthusiastic Meeting Last Night.
 "A Big Crowd and Fine Speaking.

The Bryan and Sewall Club held an important meeting Monday night at the Court House Much business was transacted and the club was addressed.by two of the most bril- liant speakers in the State
 The meeting was called to order by President N T. White. The Committee on Invitation read a communication from Judge Edgar E. Bryant, of Fort Smith, stating that he would address the club in this city at an early date.
 The Committee on Organization reported the organization of Bryan and Sewall Clubs and Sherill and Tucker.
 The following gentlemen were ap- pointed by President White as del- egates to the State convention, at Little Rock today (Tuesday), of Bryan and Sewall Clubs: W. H. Langford, s. B. White. Charles Trumpner, c. H. Triplett, John Lemons, w. D. Jones, ". E. Sallee, W. ". Scull, ". T. Vance and John Temple.
 Hon. W. H. Langford was then called upon to address the club. He responded to the call and made one of the grandest appeals for free sil- yer ever heard in this city. His speech was a clever, logical argu- ment, and every statement made by him was all the more convincing as he had the figures taken from the mint reports of our government and other statistics to prove his asser- tions. It was a clever, cool, bust ness-like and convincing argument, and it went home to the heart Of every man in the audience.
 At the conclusion of Mir. Lang lords address, Hon. $. NJ. Taylor was called upon to address the meet ing. Mir. Taylor, as an orator, needs no introduction to the people of Arkansas. He is free silver Democrat, and is proud of it. His denuneiation Of the gold bug Dem oerats was very emphatic, and he said that every true Democrat would support the Chicago platform and vote for Bryan and Sewall.
 At the conclusion of Mr. Taylor's address the meeting adjourned. The next regular meeting Of the club will take place Ut the Court House Monday night, September 2S.

COTTON TEN CENTS.
That's What Long Staple Brought on
 the Pine nlufr Market this Morning.

That's What n Long Staple Brought on
 the Pine Dlur Market this Morning.
 The long hope of the farmer has at last been realized.
 The strong contention of the silverite for higher prices has at last come to pass.
 During all this long era of low prices the desire of the Southern cot ton planter and the contention of the silverite has been .ten-cent cot ton.
 Ten-cent cotton is now q veritable reality, or at least certain variety of it.
 This morning Mr. J. ". Ragland, the well known cotton buyer, paid l0k cents per pound for a bale of cot ton that weighed 453 pounds.
 The cotton was grown by Thel- more Turner, a prosperous colored planter who farms near SherrilI. and the bale is what is known as the long staple Cook cotton. The staple measured E inches.
 This goes to show that even in these dull days of low prices and q gold standard that 10-ceht cotton is a possibility, and it ought to serve to induce our cotton planters to plant q better grade of the long staple variety,

YOUNG CROOK IS OF THE PARTY
Artillerymen, Doctors and Telegra
phers-A Cargo That Will Strike
Terror to Weyler.

NEW YORK, N. Y, June S.-The Cuban
Junta has received information that an
other large flibustering expedition has
landed safely in Cuba.
Rafael Portuondo Tamayo, Secretary
OF State of the Cuban Provisional Govern
ment, was the leader of the expedition. 1t
is generally believed that the expedition
was landed by the steamer Three Friends
which left Florida about ten days ago
The ilibuster landed fifty eight men,
one of whom is J. F. Crook, son OF Major
General Crook OF the United States army,
who went with the expedition as an artil-
lervman. Drs. J. Garcia Vieta and Eduardo
@. Poey constituted the sanitary corps
The following named cargo was landed
by the vessel and taken into tie interior
by force of insurgents, who met the ex-
pedition on its arrival: 675 Remington
rifles, so Mauser rifles, "a cases of Colt
revolvers, cases of Smith & Wesson re-
volvers, Hotchkiss rapid-fre guns, 240
cannon balls, 240 shells, 1000 cartridges
OF 43 caliber, $4,000 Mauser cartridges. 1000
machetes. 2000 rounds of dynamite, 1000

PEPPER GUSTS BAKER.
The Los Angeles Man Named as State
Organizer for the American Siver

LOS ANGELES, CAL, June 3.-Through 8.
the courtesy of prominent member OF
the American silver party here, CALL
correspondent was shown to-day letter
from J. ]. Mott, chairman of tho Ameri.
can Silver organization at Washington, d.
c., to Hon. Enoch Pepper of this city,
chairman of the State Executive and Gen.
trail Com mittees, which sets forth in glow
ing terms the plans and prospects of the
silverites of the nation, and urges imme-
diate and determined action on the part of
advocates of the white metal in Califor-
mia. The letter is important in that it
settles matter heretofore in dispute by
determining who shall exercise the right
of organization in this State.
G. w. Baker of Oakland, of the Califor-
MIA Executive Committee. has apparently
been posing as chairman of the American
Bimetallic League, and as one author
lied to speak for the party in California
Mr., Baker has been sending circulars out
lately, calling for mass-conventions In
Senatorial districts to select delegates to
the National Convention at St. Louis on
July o. wherein he emphasizes the fact
that "the party in California is without
organization"
M. Pepper is authorized and urged in
the letter from Chairman Mott to see that
this state of affairs no longer continues.
The letter speaks of Bakers inactivity and
inattention to silver interests in this State
Pepper is, therefore, instructed to proceed
with Congressional district organization
at once, which he says he will do. After
outlining the plan for these district organi-
cations Chairman Mott adds:
1.-The prospect for union of forces and
victory are bright. 1t is believed there will
be split in the Republican National con-
vention, Senator Teller of Colorado lead
ing and several other Senators following.
1t is morally certain that the Democratic
party must split upon this question, and
we shall receive great deal of its voting
strength. The gap between the gold and
silver elements of that party Is widening
every day, thus affording US our great op-

MADRID, SPAIN, June 3.-During a re-
cent private discussion of affairs in Cuba
between General Martinez Campos, the
predecessor of General Weyler as Captain
General of Cuba, and General Borrero the
argument became so animated that the
discussion developed into hot quarrel
and duel was arranged. The matter was
conducted with the greatest secrecy, but
IN some manner the authorities received
information of the intended duel few
minutes before they were to meet on
Primo Rivera.
The Captain-General of Madrid pro-
ceeded with all haste to the spot, arriving
just as the principals were being placed In
position, and 1t was only with the greatest
difficulty that he succeeded in stopping
the affair before either of the com batants
was wounded. Generals Campos and Bor-
rere were finally disarmed and sent to
their respective residenc under arrest.

Accused of Stealing a Gold Bar
Over Fourteen Months
Ago.
THE CHARGE NOT PROVED.
They Will Now Be Released With.
out Having Been Given
Trial.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, June 3.-The case of
Pratt and Garratt came up at Ensenada
yesterday. the fifteen days. limit in which
the public prosecutor could file informa-
ton having been reached. Pratt and Gar
ratt are young Englishnen, but they be-
came naturalized Mexican citizens, and
they have been confined in jail for over
fourteen months on charge of having
stolen a gold brick, valued at S12, 500, from
the shipping Office of NJ. Riveroll & Co.
In all of this time there has been no trial
and only spasmodic efforts on the part of
the authorities to gather evidence. The
presiding judge, Alexandra Guerrero
PORES, betrayed prejudice and vlndictive-
ness all through the case, on one occasion
ordering the prisoners placed in solitary
confinement when they took advantage of
their prerogative to demand a trial within
six months.
The prisoners were powerless, their
Mexican citizenship having prevented
the interference of the British Govern
ment in their behalf. So unjust was the
case that many Americans vigorously pro-
tested and were politely informed that
they must remember they were in Mex
ico," and that too liberal criticism of the
course of public officials might result in an
increase of prisoners.
When the case was called yesterday, the
prosecuting attorney coolly observed that
no evidence had been found against the
men and he asked Judge Guerrero PORES
to discharge them. The Judge, instead of
dismissing the case. insisted on sending
the papers to the City of Mexico, and
another fifteen days will eiapse before
decision is made. There is every proba-
bility, however, that the judgment will be
favorable to the prisoners, ordering their
immediate release. They are confident
they will be outside of the prison walls by
July 1.
Guerrero PORES was sharply criticized
by the authorities in the City of Mexico
on previous occasion, when he sentenced
Seymour Jackson to almost seven years
imprisonment and fined him $1,000 for al
legged robbery upon no evidence whatever,
Jackson was fortunate in retaining his
British citizenship, which gained for him
the attention of the foreign Office

HAVANA, CUBA, June 3.-Advices from
Baracoa reports that engagements have
recently taken place between Spanish
forces and bands of rebels on the banks OF
the Duaba River Owing to the heavy
rains which have fallen lately the river
was greatly swollen, and its crossing rem
dered difficult.
An attempt was made, however, by a
Spanish column to reach the other side,
but the troops were attacked by insur-
gents with the result that one soldier was
killed and two wounded. The rebel loss
is put at twentyfour.
Continuing their march along the river
the Spanish on May q again attempted to
cross, this time at Buena Vista, but they
were again attacked, and Major Gonzales
Moro and eight soldiers were wounded and
perished in the river, being unable to re-
gain the shore. A captain, sergeant and
seven privates were wounded.
Orders have been given for REINFORCE
ments to be sent to the column by boats,
but this will be difficult of execution,
owing to the condition of the rivers.
A force of rebels made an attack upon
Candelaria, but they were repulsed and
compelled to retire.
