MACEO rs ALL RIGHT.
He Has 10000 Men and Plenty of
Cannon and Arms.

KEY WEST Fla-D, June 1T has
been learned here on undisputable au-
thority that Maceo has an army of
GO,cO0 men and they are strongly for
titled in the mountains of Pinar del
Rio, the Spaniards having utterly failed
to drive them from their strongholds.
Maceo has eight cannon, two of which
were captured from the trocha on his
recent attack, when it was reported
that he was repulsed. The report that
Maceo has four companies of women
soldiers has been confirmed The Cuban
women have such a dread of Spanish
brutality that many of them prefer
lighting on the battlefield beside their
husbands and brothers to being thrown
into forts at the Spaniards' mercy.
In Maceo's recent attack on the trocha
these Amazons took part and fought
fiercely, using machetes on the Span
iards. The attack was made north of
San Marcos and General Bermudez

BARCELONA, June THE anarch-

city and much fear is entertained that
they will inaugurate another reign OF
terror similar to that which prevailed in
1892 and 1898, when there We're many
explosions here, in Madrid and other
Spanish cities.
At 8 o'clock tonight a bomb was ex-

taking place and several persons were
killed.
The outrage has caused the greatest
excitement.
The authorities held a meeting subse-

take energetic measures to discover the
authors of the crime and prevent
further outrages.
This is the second outrage or attempt
ed outrage within few days. During a
procession on the feast of Corpus
Christi a bomb was found in dust heap
near the Cathedral. It was evidently
the intention of those who placed the
bomb where it was found to kill or
MAIN some of those taking part in the
procession.
A number Of anarchists have been ar
rested, but as yet there is no positive
proof that any of them caused the ex-
plosion.
Six persons were killed by the explo-

the 4.437 democrats captured by the ballot
p28 would vote for Mckinley. The real
value Of these figures lies In their proper
Tomato relations. They show that q frac-
ton Of over 20 per cent of the democrats
interviewed will vote for the republican
nominee. while a fraction less than 10 per
cent Of the republicans interviewed will
vote for the democratic populistic candi-
date. Apply these proportions to the latest
vote of New York on the presidency. In
1892 Harrison received COS, $50 votes In the
state of New York and Cleveland 654. S6S
votes. Taking from Harrison's vote 10 per
cent Of it and adding to 1t 20 per cent of
the Cleveland vote places the republican
strength on this basis at 6I9.3SS, and APP
plying the same process to the other side
giving an apparent plurality in the state
for the republicans Of 94,558. OF course,
the city conditions predominated in this
tally. and 1t may be that later efforts up
country will produce different proportions.
AS some of the voters thus canvassed
came from New Jersey. 1t Is fair to take a
count Of the vote Of that state in the same
manner. and the result Is an apparent plu-
ralty for Mckinley Of % 30. A vote Of the
kind conducted by the Journal would be
more interesting and significant IL taken
IN the middle western states. where 1t is
now practically admitted the battle Is to
be fought. 1t Is generally conceded in ad-
vance that the shifting Of votes in the east
ern states will be to the disadvantage of
the free-silver candidate.

Among the many remarkable utterances
in the democratic platform is one that can
not be sanely explained by anyone. Hun
cry spoilsmen may try to excuse it. but
not even the brightest debater In all that
trood can justify the presence of the plank
which says:
We are opposed to life tenure in the
public service. We favor appointments
based upon merit. fixed terms of office and
such an administration of the civil service
laws as will afford equal opportunities to
all citizens of ascertained fitness
The spirit OF these utterances Is clear.
The democratic party in effect declares it
self to be opposed to business methods in
running the government By that declara-
ton the democratic party puts itself on
record as undeserving of the power it will
seek at the polls next November. The
proposition to appoint clerks and messen-
gers and artisans and laborers for fixed
terms of oftice-as brief as possible of
course-is simply absurd. No business man
would give even a moments consideration
10 such suggestion. for 1t would, in its
application. cause him inestimable losses
Gwen two men of nearly equal ability, one

The Triumph Of Populfsm.

1.-The result Of the late National Demo-
cratic Convention at Chicago is undoubt-
eddy the triumph of populism," so says Mr.
J. II. Turner, secretary of the National
Committee Of the Peoples Party In his
pr onunciamento issued today. and no one
who has any regard for the principles of
veracity will dispute Mr.. Turner's state
ment. The only individuals who are likely
to note any exception are those democrats
who have the welfare Of the Chicago ticket
at heart. and they would undoubtedly be
pleased to have the populists moderate
their transports But moderation is not a
populistic quality. Therefore the demo-
Gratis who are for Bryan. but will not ad-
NIT that they are also populists. must grin
end bear the aches for which they are re-
sponsible- 1t Is not enough. for populist
purposes. that the platform is satisfac-
tory: the candidate must also be of the
right sort. Secretary Turner says mr.
Bryan. the nominee of the convention, is
man who fits the platform. For
more than two years he has acted with the
populsts of his own state who have been
satisfied with his principles and with his
advocacy of them. and were willing to
make him their representative In the
United States Senate
MT turner comes out, therefore, ard
urges all populists to support the populist
Bryan who has been nominated by the
democratic party its choice for the pres
idency. Mr.. Turner does this. he says. be-
cause only through democratic success can
all the hopes and desires of the populists
reach "a grand consummation.'. Awful
things are going to happen. though, if Nc
kinley shall be elected. The English gold
standard will be permanently fastened
upon the lines OF industry in this country
and there will be nothing left for US but
serfdom. that will undoubtedly bring on a
bloody revolution ia the near future" Mr.
Turner's contribution to the literature of
the campaign Is likely to attract general
attention. Mr. Bryan's democratic friends
undoubtedly wish it would not. The most
cunning Of republicans could not have de-
vised anything more likely to injure Bry-
| ans cause than this populistic declaration
of affection for Bryan. "a a typical popu-
| list. coupled with the threatening sug-
gestion Of a bloody revolution in case the
| populist candidate is not elected.
