Secretary Carlisle for President.

A Washington dispatch says: Sec
rotary Carlisle is a candidate for the
presidential nomination and public
announcement will made as soon as
President Cleveland has formally
stated his purpose not TO permit his
name to be used in the convention.
1t is learned, on excellent authority,
that the President has fully decided
upon his course. Although Secretary
Olney's name has been considered he
does not desire the nomination. I'm
doubtedly Mr.. CarlIsle's candidacy
will have the support of Mr.. Cleve-
land and the members of the cabinet.
He will go before the convention as
representative of the sound money"
views of the administration. His
friends, in conducting the canvass of
Mr.. Carlisle's nomination, will urge
that it be made upon a sound money
platform, and, if successful at Chicago,
will then make the issue prominent in
the campaign.

instantly killed Miss Gertrude Bailey,
a handsome young lady. at her parents
home, four miles east of Benton Har-
Dor. After shooting Gertrude through
the heart second bullet was sent fly
ing through her younger sister Anna's
neck, passing close TO both jugular
veins. The murderer then turned To
shoot the mother, who had rushed to
succor her daughters while he, still
holding Gertrude with one arm, fired
a shot at the mother, who struck bis
arm. the bullet grazing her hand and
lodging in the ceiling. The assassin
then fled from the house to the woods,
leaving trail in the snow, which was
later followed by an excited crowd of
pursuers. They found him about
three-quarters of a mile from the scene
of the murder with bullet hole
through his brain and stone dead.
Il. ;. Bailey had moved to this farm
from Chicago last fall, where Gertrude
had evidently kept company with Be

sisters were and his work was quickly
done.
Gertrude was 81 years old. Anna,
who is 10, will die of her wounds. The
mother is crazed with grief and the

DIR. Jose Manuel Delgado, the Amer
lean citizen who was shot and nearly
killed by Spanish troops under the
command of Gen. Melquiz, arrived at
Havana. He is so seriously injured
that he cannot recover. The circum-
stances in the case, point TO a most
gross and deliberate outrage upon the
part of the Spanish soldiery, who were
aware that Mr.. Dalgado and his aged
father were both American citizens.
But this fact had no weight with the
Spanish officers and Mr.. Delgado is
said To have been bound and shot
without trial and without justification.
The doctor was left for dead and eight
OF his fathers employees killed.

that Matthews has been paying marked
attention to Mrs. Irwin, and the authorl-
ties have letters in their possession con-
tanning endearing terms. which Matthews
wrote to the woman.
Mrs. Irwin says she discovered that her
husband was dead at II o'clock Sunday
night. She ran to the house of her father
in-law. 100 yards distant, and gave the
alarm. She asserts that she was in bed
beside her husband. but evidence at the
Coroner's inquest conflicts with her state
ments. The entire community is IN
censed, and if positive guilt could be
fastened on Matthews he would un-
doubtedly be lynched.

CANTON, OHIO, Aug. 3.-Major Nc
Kinley has had few days of quiet and he
is turning over in his mind the points
which he thinks of discussing in his letter
of acceptance. He will not, however, aim
to have letter ready for publication for
three or four weeks.
Ex-senator B. K. Bruce Of Mississippi
was one of the callers on Major Mckinley
to-day. He is familiar with the political
situation throughout the South and thinks
Major Mckinley will carry Virginia, West
Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina and
Kentucky. Said he:
sit will be found that the Democratic
politicians in the Southern States have
until recently been able to keep the South
solid. Hereafter the progressive elements
of the South will take such action as will
advance the material prosperity of that
section. They want a protective tariff that
will build up that section; they will invite
the manufacturers and show that it will do
for the States what it has done for the
great North, East and West. They look
upon Major Mckinley as the apostle of
protection. They also want sound money
instead of deprecated silver dollars. and
they regard Major Mckinley as the en-
bodiment of that idea. The colored voters
of the country. both North and South, are
enthusiastically supporting Major Me-
KinIey."
Much interest in the opening of the Ohio
campaign, which has been announced for
August 15, has been manifested here.
Many active Mckinley men in both par
ties tell of going to Columbus, and it is
likely that large delegation from the
country will attend. Ex-Governor Fora

speakers, and some orators of prominence
from the West wilt also be heard.

Pena Lopez and Narcissuegez Lopez, re-

the insurgent army, were shot to-day at
the Cabanas Fortress for the crime of re-
bellion against the Spanish Government
and Nunez Bravo, the rebel project of
Santiago de Cuba, was executed yesterday
at Santo Domingo for the same crime.
A fierce engagement between rebels and
Government troops is reported to have
taken place in the vicinity of Melones,
near Manzanillo. The Spanish force con-
sisted of only 100 soldiers, while the insur-
gents numbered 1000. The Government
troops were defeated and compelled to re-
treat. Two Spanish lieutenants were
killed and the commander of the troops
and large number of his force were
wounded. The rebel losses were heavy.
Yellow fever and smallpox are increas-
ing throughout the island and in certain
localities have become epidemic. The
authorities are adopting measures to pre-
vent the spread of the diseases to dimin-
ish the high death rate.
