nounced that he was authorized to say
that Senator Cuilom was a candidate for
president. The twenty delegates were in
structed for Cullom for president. McKin-
ley received but two votes out or 1h5 In the
convention, but when Gen. Horace Clark,
Of Nation, candidate for governor, ad-
dressed the convention, the name Of Nc
kinney was received with great cheering,
as well as that OF Cpllom. A great sensa-
ton was created by the speech Of Joseph
A. Drake, a young colored lawyer. who
was defeated for representative. He de-
clared that the negroes must receive rec
IGNITION from the Republicans; that they
were aroused from Cairo to Chicago. and
that II they were not accorded proper rec
IGNITION they would be heard from In No

recognition from the Republicans, and the

Spanish Minister Thinks This Country

of an interview today. said: The rebel

Gus matter at ali had IL not been for the in
terferenec OF the United States. 1t never
would have passed the limits OF mere riot
had ii not been for the money, supplies,
arms and men that were sent from this
country. Men have gone from this country
with the assurance that the United States
would grant belligerent rights to the Gu
bans and In all probability send feet TO
Cuban waters to support the insurgents.
At no time have the authorities in this
country given the situation In Cuba a fair
investigation. to- ascertain what the facts
actually are. 1t has been said that all Gu
bans are interested In the rebellion. but
the truth of the matter Is that there are
seven Cuban generals and several hundred
Cuban officers fighting in the Spanish army
in Cuba. In fact. am sure there are more
Cuban officers IN the Spanish army than
there are white leaders among the insur-
gents"
