Refnrces from Cnhn.

TAMPA, Fla, Jan. 2O.-The steamer
Olivetto last night brought forty-five
refugees from Cuba and Saturday night
landed 1870 in Key West. Three hundred
refugees are already booked for the next
trip. The refugees say that if one does
not participate in the revolution they
must leave Cuba or join the Spanish forces.
Those able to leave are doing so, but the
less fortunate will join the revolution and
greatly swell the CUBAN army. General
Martinez Campos is expected by the next
steamer to return to Spain through the
states and New York. There is some talk
here of giving General Campos an ovation
when he arrives

ton, with the rank Of colonel, and earned
for himself dreadful reputation as a man
of blood and iron.
Senior Palma, the representative in the
United State, of the Cuban revolutionary
party speaking of the superseding Of
Campos, said:
This action on the part of the Spanish
governments is not wholly unexpected.
General Campos is one of Spain's most
famous commanders, and at the begin
ming of the revolution he said that in a
few weeks, or at most but few months,
he would surely crush out the rebellion,
but now, after eleven months, ne has been
obliged to shut himself up in Havana, at
the very door of tho capitol, unable to
cope with the adroitness and skill of tho
commander-in-ch chief of the revOlutionists.
''The Spanish government think that by
the substitution of another general they
will meet with better success. General
Campos withdrawal from command, in
my opinion, is because the officials at Mad
rid considered his treatment of the Cubans
as too humane. They want policy of
more cruelty pursued.
Nothing short of Independence can
quell the spirit of the Cubans. Their
strength cannot be weakened and 200 0O1
men would be put into the field at once if
they could be properly armed. 1t seems
to me, and l believe it will so appear to
the American public, that the mere fact
bG Spain being compelled to change gen
erals at this period of the war should
demonstrate the strength of the revolu-
tionsts and hasted the time when the
United States shall recognize us"

A Lantern Exploded.

At about seven o'clock Saturday evening a
lantern exploded in the cellar of Samuel
Davis building on North Jardin street. The
flames created spread rapidly but, as the
building is located next to the Phoenix Fire
Company's quarters and many of the firemen
were there in attendance at the fair, the
work of extinguishment was begun too soon
for the fire to get a good hold on the build
ing and very little damage was done. All
the fire companies responded to the alarm
but had little work to do

The Question of Recognizing Cuban Insur
gents May Soon be Brought Up.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The present in
dications are that the time of the senate
will be divided this week between the dis
cussion of finances and the Monroe doc
trtne, the latter to be based upon the Da-
Wis resolution and the former on the free
coinage substitute for the house bond bill.
Several senators, including Teller, Daniel,
Cockrell and White, will speak on the sill
yer bill during the week, and the proba-
bilities are that the consideration of the
bill will not be concluded when the end of
the Week is reached. No vote will be Sc
onred until the Utah senators take their
seats, but 1t will come soon after that time.
The silver substitute has precedence over
all other matters each day at 2 O'Clock,
thus rendering it i'm, ,ssible to take up the
Monroe resolution except during the morn
ing hour, unless by general consent. Sen
ator Pugh will today try to secure a vote
on his resolution for the payment of gov
ernment obligations in coin instead of
gold alone, but his success in that direc-
tion is doubtful. The tariff bill will be
reported during the week if Senator Jones,
of Nevada, gives his consent.
The house will devote the week to the
consideration of the appropriation bills
unless move is made to recognize the
Cubans as belllgerents. 1t is quite prob
able that the question may be presented to
the house in some shape. The committee
ON foreign affairs has as yet proposed no
resolution on the subject, but there are
many indications that the whole question
will be considered in the house before long.
The urgent deficiency and military
academy appropriation bills, which are
ready, go to make up the regular work for
the week

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The announce
ment of the appointment of General Val
eriano Weyler as civil captain general of
Cuba was received at Cuban headquarters
here as confrmatory of the view they had
already expressed upon the news of Cam
pos retirement, that there has been rad
ical change in the policy of the Spanish
cabinet, and that henceforth there is TO be
q reign of blood and terror in Cuba.
The change in the cabinet, itself, in the
retirement of the Duke of Tetuan, and the
succession of Senior Elbuayen as minister
of foreign affairs, is regarded as still
further confirming this idea General
Weyler Is veteran soldier and has had
his own experience In revolutions, for he

Viewed from a local standpoint, the
election of Bryan, and the adoption Of
the fallacious free silver theory, cannot
be regarded as consummation that
would prove otherwise then detrimental
to the best interests of the people. The
Sioux Falls Argus-Leader, referring to
this subject. submits the following which
is worthy Of the careful consideration OF
every voter in the Black Hills: There
should be no doubt about the result in
the Black Hills. The interest Of every
miner, every merchant there lies one
way. The chief industry is mining.
The ores are very low grade. The COM
panIes operate on very narrow margin,
and can only work by reducing vast
quantities of ore, the great aggregate of
small profits constituting large total.
A small reduction in the value OF gold
would wipe out all profit and the mines
would down. Now the free silver advo-
Gates base their whole argument on the
contention that free silver would raise
silver and lower gold. IL this should
come about the mines ofthe Black Hills
must shut down, thousands of miners
must be thrown out Of work. cities and
mining camps must be depopulated and
the prestige of the Black Hills must be
ruined, its prosperity destroyed and its
people forced to move. There is no
doubt about the result. The argument
cannot be refuted. 1t is to the interest
Of every man in the Black Hills to vote
for maintainance of the present stand

Under the caption of "The Dying

issue, uses considerable of its limited
space in q labored effort to cast re-
proach upon the CHRONICLE, Keystone
Miner and Rapid City Journal, for the
alleged misrepresentation ofthe political
situation in their respective districts, in
which the stereotyped allegation of gold
bug subsidization is very palpably in
timated. The CHRONICLE is content to
snbnit its case TO its readers without
argument, having abundant confidence
in being fully justified in all its past
statements in this direction, when the
votes are counted on Nov. 3rd. The

member of the Roman Catholic clergy,

opportune. am glad the archbishop

ed a service to the country. Expressing
my individual opinion, as he does, /

platform, its socialistic features and the
disastrous consequences of free coinage

actly true.

portions of his statement. But / am
heartily with him in his condemnation

tion OF the president in protecting the
rights Of the United States government.
Especially do ! join with him in deplor-
ing the arraying Of class against class,
and the resulting bad and dangerous
sentiments that may have the saddest
consequences. 1t seems to me to be the
duty Of every good citizen to set his
face against such state Of things and
use whatever influence he has to

1t has been openly declared in this
place that the b. & NJ. company is
guilty of coercing its employees to vote
for Mckinley. The following from the
Queen City Mail should be sufficient to
vss-ince the Bryanites making such
charge. that there are no no grounds
whatever for the charge: "In his ad-
dress ut Crow creek Monday evening
Col. George said that the statement that
the B 4 NJ. company is coercing its
employees to vote for Mckinley is false
and entirely without foundation. He
claimed to have it from high authority
that the B. r. & NJ officials have de-
clined to interfere with their employees
on the presidential issue, and will use
no means whatever to induce them to
vote other than their own views may
dictate. This ought to convince Col.
Georges pop friends that the report to
the contrary is groundlsss,"

II BRYAN should be elected. saws ii

II Bryan should be elected, says the
Chicago Herald, this country would be
plunged into the worst panic it ever
saw. We should 60 instantly to silver
paper business without any action of
congress and before congress could
meet. Within As hours after the result
of the election were known every dol
lar in gold in the national treasury
would be drawn out. 1t would be USE
less for President Cleveland to attempt
to replenish the stock by the sale of
bonds. He could not sell them for
gold If he tried, and he would not try.
In a twinkling the whole country would
be thrown into dire confusion. The
standard Of value would be upset and
no one would know where he stood in
any transaction. Silver would be the
only money in circulation and its parity
with gold would be destroyed. Imag-
ine, II you can, the situation. The world
would take the election to mean that
the United States was going by law to a
silver basis. Silver would rush toward
the United States to be sold at the ex-
pected artificial value thus impaired to
itf No one knows. There wonld be
conflicting opinions. and this would
produce speculation. SILVER would go
up and down in the worlds market. and
the value Of our money in circulation
would 90 mp and down with IL. Every

Bryan has evidently imbibed the idea
that he has Christian mission 10 per-
form, and is desirous of being regarded
as devoted itiuerant evangelist, giving
up his valuable time in the interest of
the success ofa most sacred and holy
cause. In one Of his eastern speeches,
he sacrilegiously said: "Ittakes several
minutes to get my voice in condition
where you can hear it. but if my voice
seems little impaired I find consola-
ton in that it has been injured in a good
cause, and if / have not all of it with
me, you may rest assured that that part

sinner repents, what Joy there ought to
be among the American people with all
