DuIbn, prominent Republican and u
delegate from this distri:. to the St.

the delegations instructions to support
Mckinley only meant to vote for Nc
kinley solid If General Harrison's name
was not presented or supported from
some other state. Since there has been
50 much Harrison talk Durbin believes
that Indiana will go solid for the eX-
president.
More significance is given to the turn
of political affairs by the fact that Dur
bin today received communication
from Benjamin Harrison and Durbin
says he Is to meet him next week by
appointment. Durbin Is on the state
central committee and an authority on
Harrison information.

NO CUBAN INTERVENTION.
The Administration Has Not Agreed on
ANY Definite Plan.


Washington, April l2-The report to
the effect that Secretary Of State Olney
had addressed to United States Minis
ter Taylor at Madrid a long note con-
tanning a proposition to be submitted
to the Spanish government for the set
tlement of the Cuban question, and Of
fering the services OF the United States
government as a mediator between the
governments Of Spain and Cuba. Is alb
solutely untrue and without any foun-
dation in fact.
No proposition of the character men-
toned or any other has been put in
writing, nor has the administration
outlined any definite plan of action or
indicated to the Spanish minister in
Washington, the American minister at
Madrid, or any other official what ac-
ton, If any, it proposes to take looking
to the settlement of the Cuban ques-
tion. Secretary Olney has authorized
the most sweeping, complete. and en-
phatic denial of the whole story, and
so has the Spanish minister.
The report was based altogether on
rumors that have been floating about
Washington for the past two or three
days. and the falsity of which could
have easily been ascertained upon ap-
plication to the proper authorities. The
truth Is that the president and Secre-
tary Olney have not completed their in
vestigation of the Cuban question, and
they do not themselves know what
their Cuban policy Is or will be.
