Among the passengers who arrived this
morning per Ward line steamer Niagara

Cuban General Lucret, under the name
of Duthil. General Lucret, with force
of insurgents had been doing considerable
damage to the Spanish lines of trans

road bridges and trains. The Spanish au-
thorities warned General Lucret that if
he did not discontinue his mode of war
fare they would retaliate by blowing up
his residence containing his family. who
were living near Santiago. The General's 5
sister learning of this decided to flee the
country, and managed TO secrete herself
with the child on board the Niagara go
ing on board that vessel with the crowd
who came to bid farewell to parting
friends.
Passengers on board the Niagara say
that the battle of Tuesday last July Is.
near Santiago, was very disastrous to
the Spaniards. Three columns were or
eered 70 leave Manzanillo. Guantanamo
and Santiago respectively, each under
conrnand OF a General. to concentrate

There is lfatle hope that Congress will
pass the bill to make a national park
at the Palisades, and ex-senator Winton.
one of the New Jersey commission is
authority for that statement.
Mr. Winton was at the Sound Money
Democrats meeting at Taylor's Hotel
yesterday and chatted fer a few minutes
on the subject of the Palisades
You see, it viii cost about one million
dollars, and l am afraid the projecs win
not go through
This viii be serious disappoi ntmert
to great many people, The preservation
OF the stcric Palisades with them is a
matter of rational interest, and Uncle
sam can afford to uniocse his purse

Mr.. Charles 3. Thurston. Senator Win

kers Of the comm ssion, have expe1fd-
ed a great deal of valuable time and labor
ever the matter. and every thing which
when could have, been done to make
Congress generous has been done but aD-
psreRtly to no avail.
Eut the Commission will not give IN
hope, and next year will do their best X,

the past month the work of the vene-

upon a new stage. Heretofore the efforts
of the Commissioners have been directed
mainly to securing the evidence upon
which the final report is to be based.

consist in examining and Classifying the
information already collected. The Brit

COMING Wind STORM.
Bryan's Progress on His Jour-
ney East -Throttling
His Oratory.

Z GRINNELL, Iowa, Aug. s, 1S96.-As-
though the hour when Mr. Bryan de-
parted from Des Moines was sufficiently
early to quell enthusiasm IN most people,
quite a crowd gathered at the railway
station. They cheered as the train drew
out. Mr. Bryan and the members of his
party chartered the Pullman sleeper at
taohed to the train and were able to
make the journey in much greater COM
fort than yesterday. when the nominee :
car was crowded most of the time.
The first big crowd gathered to see
the Democratic candidate at colfax, a
town of 1900 people, twenty -three miles
from Des Moines, which was reached
just before eight o'clock. AIT Altoona,
eleven miles from Des Moines, where
THE first stop was made, a knot of people
shook hands with Mr.. Bryan, and at
Mstchellvile fully 200 were assembled to
see and cheer him.
General ]. B, Weaver, who accompanied
Mr.. Bryan from Des Moines to Newton,
presented the nominee to the people of
Colfax, his home. The people were pack
ed in and about the station like sar-
dimes and they pressed closely around the
nominees car as ne began to address
them. Unfortunately for them the re-
marks which Mr.. Bryan intended to de-
liver were cut short by, the engineer,
who pulled the throttle and started the
train according to schedule. This is
what he managed 70 say
Ladies and Gentlemen--I am very glad
to greet the people who live at General
Weaver's home. He was pioneer in
this work and was talking for free sill
yer long before it had come to the atten-
ton of great many of us. And l never
think of one of those pioneers who blazes
out the way and of the abuse generally
heaped upon the pioneer without re-
meinbering what somebody said a year
or so ago, that when one person saw a
thing he was called a fanatic; when a
great many saw it, he became an en-
thusiaSt, whenever everybody saw it he
became a hero.' daughter and great
cheering.1
Another big crowd turned out at New
ton. where a Populis1t conference is being
held today. The Newton people were
very full of enthusiasm and succeeded
in getting a brief speech from Mr.. Bryan.
He said
Ladies and Gentlemen-I am glad TO
see You and l believe this is Newton.
Your town bears the name of a man who
is given credit for stating the law of
srav5tation- Some of the avs of finance

enthusiasts.
AT Grinnell the nominees train re-
manned at the station fifteen minutes
and gave Mr.. Bryan a chance to respond

duetor of a car coming from the

in the trailer. they got into the trailer.
When the car was about to start, the
conductor and the dispatcher came to
them and told them they would have to

Pay another fare? Why, we paid one

Well" said the dispatcher. 'I don't

cycle thief of Southeastern Massacllai-

desperate. He belongs in Taunton and
is about twenty-five years, old
There is little doubt about HIS being
the person who shot the two men in
Providence, then stole a wheel from one
of them and escaped. as the Stearns bi-
cycle taken IN Providence has been found
here. also a Waverly wheel, and it is
known that he recently gave a lady $
safety to a girl in this city He is en-
pEoyed in a fish market here and his de-
scription is complete. His hand shows
the cuts of the glass received when he
dashed through the window i'm Dawsor's 5
place in Providence. and they were dress
ed by a doctor in this vicinity soon
after that occurrence. Providence par
ties have been sent for to identify him.
Fer two or three days he has been
watched. Knowing his desperate courage

and turned aside, just saving his life
on striking Willis with his club. officer
Powers was flung against tire wall with
great violence as the five men tried 20
disarm Willis. His hand was badly IN
jured Willis also got Officer Briggs
thumb in his mouth and chewed it like
a piece of meat. He was finally downed
by THE five powerful men and ironed It
is a miracie that none Of them was shot,
as the desperation of the man was shown
in his violence and his bulldog courage
in facing and holding at bay for several
minutes five of the strongest and most
courageous men in the city. 1t seemed
at one time like a case of killing or
being killed. Willis did not ask why he
was taken He seemed to expect arrest
and was prepared for battle. After he
was locked up the bicycles before men
toned were found. In many ways Willis
answers the description of the murderer
of Fred n. Strange in this city and 1t
is evident that the police have made q
very Important capture.

bears the number Of the wheel that was
taken from the man in Providence when

of the shooting in the bicycle shop and
