the new captain general Of Cuba, was
born in 1910. At the age of SO years,
Don Valeriano Weyler Nicolan was
appointed captain general of the
Canary Islands for his brilliant work
in the San Domingo campaign. He
built many hospitals at Teneriffe,

funtionary, as we'll as military COM
mander, caused him to be sent as cap
tain-general of the Philippine islands

ness. Later he returned to Spain, and
held the highest military positions in
Barcelona and Catalonia.

14th of this month.

Jose Maceo. the Cuban general when
he was a young mountain bandit, plotted
the capture of John Sherman while that

to seize him, carry him for ransom, with
tho expectation that the government of
the United States would pay large sum
of money for his release.

Total electoral votes.

This table of electoral votes repre-
sents only those states which would
have given both senatorial votes in the
affirmative vote for silver if both sena-
tors had been present or not paired.
Unquestionably the Republicans of the
east are aware of the fact that they
will need these electoral votes
of the silver states to sue
coed in the presidential election, and
they begin to see that silver may be
made to cut some figure in their party
convention. The western Republicans
have a chance to do considerable for
silver in their convention if only they
have the courage to take firm stand
on the subject. but it is very ques-
tionable if they will do it, The greater
probability is that when the party
whip is cracked they will humbly
sink into line.

NOT so CONFIDENT.

The tone Of the single standard press
In the east on the security of what
they call the sound money cause is
growing less confident than it was be-
fore the senate passed the free silver
substitute for the Republican house
bond bill. The strength that silver de-
veloped in the senate was something
of surprise to the east, the cocksure-
ness Of its tone is somewhat modified,
and it begins to think that there is
prospect that free silver may cut some
figure in the national conventions to be
held in st. Louis and Chicago. Even
the St. Louis GIobe-Democrat one of
the most influential of the papers sus-
tanning the gold standard doctrine,
seems to have lost some of it's extreme
confidence that nothing would come of
the silver question, at least in the Re-
publican convention. It's remarks the
other day were so modified in tone as
to stand in marked contrast with it's
utterances in the past and were as
unsteady as the steps of a topper under
the influence of his favorite beverage
After saying that Chairman Harrfty
of the Democratic national committee
thinks the prospects for Democratic
success not SO gloomy as a few months
ago, the remarks in question closed
thus:
To certain extent there is some
justification for this vitw The mis-
chievous folly Of the Republican silver
ties in attempting to thrust the Is to
issue into politics has caused some
thoughtful Republicans to look for a
serious contest in the national conven-
ton on that question. That would. of
c, lIrse, mean that there might be
rupture in the party in the mining
states, and that some of these states
might go to the Populist or the Demo-
cratic party. However, nothing of this
sort is likely to happen. The silverftes
will be so badly beaten in the conven-
ton that they will see the folly of in
jeoting the free coinage issue into the
campaign. Nevertheless the pernicious
political activity of the Tellers and the
Carriers has given the Democrats
little hope of carrying a state or two

measure.
would do well to inquire into the cause
of this staggering speech of the Globe
Democrat, which now thinks silver will
cut some figure in the Republican con
vention, now thinks 1t will not, and
now again thinks it may.
This uncertainty of tone in the Re
publican eastern press since the action
Of the senate may be accounted for.
A light has come to it since the sem
ate's action, and it is not so indepen-

Armor Invented in Chicago.

W. w. Green, president of the Garden
City Fan Company of Chicago, in con =
junction with James II. Wheeler of that
city, are the inventors of an armor plate
for naval vessels which naval experts
agree is likely to prove worthy success
sor to the Harveyized plates now in use.
If the test, which will be made at the
naval proving ground at Indian Head,
Md, within the coming fortnight, is sue
cessful the business of armoring naval
vessels may be revolutionized, and Chi
cago may become the great center for
work of this class.
If the conclusions of the inventors are
correct vessel may be as thoroughly
protected by an eight-inch plate of their
construction as by a sixteen-inch Carne-
gle plate, and at not more than Is per
cent. of the cost of the latter. A sample
section of plate made by this new pro-
cess by feet in size and inches thick
weighing six tons, has been forwarded to
the Washington Navy Yard, where il
will be backed with oak and sent to the
proving ground for the final test.

DEMANDS MADE ON SPAIN.
Must Make Reparation for Indigni-

Must Make Reparation for Indigni-
ties to Americans in Cuba.
Instructions of direct and most posi-
United States minister at Madrid, Han
mis- Taylor, tomake strong representations
to the Spanish Government, with view
to securing reparatlon for indignites 10
DR.. Jose Delgado and other American
citizens in Cuba.
1t is understood the purpose is not so
much to press pecuniary claim at a time
when Spain is embarrassed as it is to in
sist on the right of full protection to the
persons of American citizens in Cuba.
Mr.. Olney's instructions were sent before
meeting DR.. Delgado and his father, who
are now in Washington, but their pres
ence has afforded an opportunity to secure
such full details of the indignity as may
become desirable when Mr.. Taylor acts
on his return to Madrid.
The circumstances of the case as pre-
sented to the Department bring out some
ports from Havana which preceded the
arrival of the Delgado's. The customary
criticism against Gen. Weyler is varied in
this instance by full approval of the en-
ergetic steps taken by him to afford the
Delgado,s every aid toward reparation.
At the suggestion of Consul General
Lee and on the advice of DR.. Roderiquez,
their counsel at Washington, they came
to Washington to make personal state
ment to the Secretary. They have shown
to Mr.. Olney the machete which was
broken in the blow across Delgado's face,
the bullet which he received on the first
voiley and photograph of DR.. Delgado
on stretcher after being taken from the
place of shooting. These lent graphic
interest to their recital of the events.

K. q. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review OF

tinued signs that gain in business
has begun, nothing: appeared to justify
the advance of d cent in wheat, 81 cent

west-2,4lS,765 bushels for the week !,

slackening of supply. Atlantic exports,
2.4o6. 406 bushels, -four included, for the
week, against l ,39s, 81 last year, are large
Tor the season, but with new wheat just
beginning to move, the supply is ample
The advance in cotton also had no visible
cause in crop prospects or movement,
though receipts at ports have been light.
There israther more hopefulness, which
is felt in a rest after the decline of woods,
but prices are now lower and sales do not
increase. Failures for the week have

Nebraska railroad Extension.

Surveyors are in camp three miles west
of Niobrara coming from the west to the
east. 1t is the outfit that has been in the
field from Mitchell, surveying a line from
there to Wheeler for the Chicago, ST. Paul
Minneapolis 81 Omaha, and it is believed
that they intend continuing to Bloomfield.
The Bloomfield road is destined to reach
Fort Randall, and few years
ago when the Omaha and Niobrara
delegations waited upon the president
of the Northwestern, he frankly ex-
pressed his wish to make that
the first important extension in north Ne
braska. The extension of few miles of
the Newcastle line would intersect the
Harrington and Bloomfield line and it
would take but ten miles of the Ekhorn
Valley to intersect the Omaha line, thus
practically making two feeders for Oma-
ha and one for Sioux City. The business
prospect of the Yankton bridge and rail-
way extension is said TO be the cause of
this new feature in railroad circles in
north Nebraska. Petitions are being cir
culated for a special meeting of the Knox
County Board of Supervisors for the pur-
pose of submitting proposition to voters
in aid of the Yankton, Norfolk & South
western in five townships
