COMPETITOR CAUGHT.
SPANISH GUNBOAT Makes A COON
HAUL.
American Schooner Loaded With
Arms and Ammunition-Severa
FiIibusterers Jump Overheard.

HAVANA, April 29.-The Spanish
gunboat Mensagera has captured and
brought into this port the American
schooner Competitor, of Key West
loaded with arms and ammunition. In
command of her were Alfredo La
borda, DIR. Bedia and three newspaper
correspondents, who are held prison
ers.
Some filibusterers are said to have
succeeded in jumping overheard and
swimming ashore. Others jumped into
General Monson was a. member of the
expedition.
In addition to the arms and ammuni-
ton captured on board the Competitor,
there were three boxes of proclama-
tons and other important documents.
DR.. Vedia Mesa, who was made pris-
oner Win these on board the filibuster-
er, had, it is said, once surrendered
himself to the Spanish authorities.
Should this be the case, he NAV be
severely dealt with.
One of the newspaper correspondents
on board the schooner is named Ham
ilton. The others refuse to give their
names.
The local guerilla force of Palma. on
the coast of Pinar del Rio, near where
the Competitor was first sighted by the
gunboat. has captured thirty-two boxes
of ammunition, which had already
been landed, apparently from the Com
petitor.
The guerillas also made prisoners of
two men believed to be Americans.
The filibusterers who succeeded in
getting ashore, either by swimming or
other means, opened fire on the gun
boat, which was assisting the govern
ment forces on shore, and the war
ship replied, killing three of the party.

committee on resolutions. The tempo
rary organization was made permanent.
Chairman Lord, in brief address,
contrasted the prosperous conditions
said TO attend Republican rule with
! equal disastrous results following the
rule of the opposite party. Following
the chairman's speech, the convention
adopted resolutions reaffirming Repub-
Ican party principles including protec-
! ton and reciprocity in trade with the
republics of the American continent
On the financial question the platform
says:
THE continued agitation for the free
coinage of silver retards the return of
confidence and prosperity, stands in the
way of beneficial legislation and is in
every respect harmful to the best in
iterests of the whole country"
On the subject of the presidency the
platform says: ITO the choice of the
national convention we pledge our
hearty and loyal support promising
to keep Vermont where, without a
shadow of a turning, she has always
stood, in the front rank of the Republic
can states"
After the platform had been adopted
a supplement with preamble and reso-
luton were introduced and carried with
demonstrations of enthusiasm as fol-
lows.
While We recognize the wisdom of
the precedent which has heretofore sent
our delegates to national conventions
without tying their hands with positive
instructions, and would not break that
precedent, yet we feel we will be I'M
true representatives of those who sent
us here did we fail to give voice to
their convictions. Therefore be it

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Two nota-
BILE speeches by Senator Teller and
Senator acknowledgements oppos-
ing elements on the financial question
were heard in the senate today.
Mr.. Teller addressed himself particu-
larly to the Ohio senator, controverting
the views held by him and maintain
ing that no honest effort had been
made in the present congress to pass a
tariff bill
The senator referred to the McKin-
ley candidacy, saying that the motto
of the advance agent of prosperity"
was delusive, as no prosperity could
come until financial conditions reform
ed The climax of Mr.. Teller's speech
was reached when he announced that
he would
VOTE AS HE SPOKE,
and that he would not hesitate to sep
arate himself from the great party
with which he had been allied for
forty years, if it pronounced for the
gold standard.
Mr.. Sherman answered Mr.. Teller,
arguing against fifty-cent silver dol
lar, and announcing that the time had
come for a decisive opinion from THE
people. He appealed the case, he said,
to the tribunal of the American people
at the coming election.
The early part of the day was given
to speeches by Senators Villas and
Mitchell of Wisconsin, Palmer and
Kyle eulogizing Pere Marquette, after
which the resolution was adopted ac-
oepting the statue of Marquette pre-
scented by Wisconsin.
The naval appropriation bill is NOM
inally before the senate, but is being
thrust aside for the incidental tariff
and financial debate.
Mr.. Hale in charge of the bill, pro-
tested vigorously against the
DISTRACTING DEBATES,
declaring that if it confined congress
would remain in Washington until next
fall.
The naval bill was temporarily laid
aside in the senate today to consider
the acceptance of the statue of Pere
Marquette, presented by the state of
Wisconsin, and now in statuary hall.
At the outset Mr.. Palmer Dem, Ill)
presented a resolution expressing the
thanks of congress to Wisconsin for
this statue of the renowned explorer
and discoverer of the Mississippi river"
and formally accepting the gift.
Mr. Mitchell Dem., Wis., was then
recognized for a speech recounting THE
services of Marquette among the In
dams of the northwest.
Senator Mitchelfs speech in the SEN
ate was followed by remarks from Sen
ators Kyle, Palmer and Villas, all of
whom eulogized Marquette and declar-
ed that he was honored not as
but as a great historic

IS IT A FACT?
PEARL BRYAN WAS PROBABLY BE-
HEADED ALIVE.
Testimony Given by an Attache of
the Cincinnati electric Medical
College.

NEWPORT, KY, April 29.-Startling
testimony was given today in the Jack
son murder trial by two women who
confirmed to some extent the story told
by Coachman George H. Jackson. Mrs.
Settlers, who lives on the Licking pike,
and comes TO Newport on foot every
day, testified that about o'clock ON the
morning of Friday, January 81, she met
two men, strangers, who stared at her
in such a way as to frighten her. She
says that the road on which she met
them was used altogether by residents
of the neignborhood and it was a very
unusual thing to see any other person
there. This is the road over which
Jackson says he drove the cab Friday
night. The witness said she had never
seen these men since until today. when
she recognized them as jackson and
Walling.
Mrs. Alice Steifel, who lives on an
unfrequerlted road between the Licking
pike and Alexandria pike, which is
also part of the route described by
Jackson, testified that after midnight
Friday, January 81, she was awakened
by a dog barking and heard a one
horse vehicle passing along the road
rapidly This was a very unusual &C.
currence and she thought IT was some
doctor Fastening to see patierJt.
The testimony of DR.. Edward Free
man of the Cincinnati Electric Medi-
cal college continued until the recess.
AS an expert he testified as to the con-
dbtion of the neck and other parts of
Pearl Bryan's body and claimed that
the conditions clearly showed that the
head was amputated when Pearl Bry-
an was alive, and that her death was
caused by the amputation.

1t Occupies the Greater Portion of
the Time in the House.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-The house
spent the day in further discussion of
the bankruptcy bill. Mr.. Connolly
(Rfp.) of Illinois, spoke in favor of the
measure and Mr.. Stone (Rep.) of Penn
Nevada and Mr.. Broderick (Rep.) of
Kansas, in opposition to it. Mr.. New
lands, in the course of his remarks
said that if the Democrats at the Chi
cago convention abandoned free trade
and declared for silver, a fusion of the
silver elements would follow, which
would be victorious. Mr.. Connolly pre-
dicted, in the event of the enactment
of a free coinage law, an universal de-
mand for bankruptcy law. Before
the bankruptcy bill was taken up there
was some discussion of the treasury
situation in connection with the appro-
priations for this session. Mr.. Dock
cry (Dem.) of Missouri, charged that
the liabilities created by this congress
Gncluding $93,000,000 for contracts)
would reach s6O5, 100000. Mr. Dingley,
the leader of the majority on the floor
defended the appropriations calling
attention to the fact that the house
had passed a bill to increase the reve-
nues.
The house adopted the report of cleo
lions committee No. 2, in favor of Bell
in the contested election case of Pearce
VS.. Bell from the Second Colorado dis
trict.

Convention at a StandstiIl.

/ - ~
Convention at y StandstiII.
PHOENIX, Ariz., April 29.-Warring
factions have held the territorial Re
publican convention at a gtandstill all
day, the question BENG upon the or
ganization and the admission of 62
contesting delegates from the three
main counties of the territory This
evening, in order to avoid a bolt, it
was agreed to admit all contestants,
giving them but half a vote per indi-
vidual. The convention then organized
with LA members. with F. NJ Zuck
of Navajo county as temporary chair
man. A night session is being held
with little result and will continue to-
morrow. What is known as the Stod-
dard wing, in opposition to the McKin-
ley wing, has control. They assert,
however, that they are as warm sup
porters as any of the Ohioan, and it is
probable that the platform, if not the
instructions, will endorse him. The
money plank will probably be strongly
in favor of silver. The delegates are
already named in caucus. They will be
j. f. Mahoney, Ralph Cameron, Will
lam Christy, E. T. Stoddard, Burt Dun
lay and j. A. Zabriskie. All give their
first choice as Mckinley, though
Ohristy is popularity considered for AL
liSon.

Demands for 'Honest Money"

Republicans Are Unyielding in Their
Demands for ''Honest Money"
SPRINGFIELD, H., April 29.-The
committee appointed to select delegates
ait large to the ST. Louis convention
met this afternoon and selected the
following delegates to be reported at
the convention tomorrow: David T.
Littler, Springfield; Ex-Governor Joseph
w. Fifer, Bloomington; William Penn
Nixon, Chicago, and R. w. Patterson,
Chicago.
The committee appointed to choose
presidential electors for the state at
large has selected rabbi e. C. Hirsch,
of Chicago and General Horace S.
Clarke, of Nation
The following is the money plank
on the platform to be presented to the
convention when the candidates have
all been nominated:
THE Republicans of Illinois are I'M
yielding and emphatic in their demand
for honest money. We are opposed and
ever have been to any and every such
scheme that will give TO this country
a. currency in any way deprecated or
debased or in any respect inferior to
the money of the most advanced and
intelligent nations of the earth We
favor the use of silver as currency but
ito the extent only and under such re-
sItriobions that parity with gold can
be maintained"
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-04-30

appreciated the honor of presiding
over a convention of Democrats which
could not be bought and could not be
traded off or driven into the camp OF
the Populists.
The temporary organization was
made permanent and these delegates
at large were named by reclamation:
Tobias Castor, Lancaster, William A.
Paxton, Douglas: Dan w. Cook, Gage;
Charles G.. Byan. Hall.
District delegates were also chosen.
The resolutions indirectly denounce
the A. P A and favor Clevelands
version of the Monroe doctrine.
THE FINANCIAL PLANK
is as follows:
I'VE adhere to the time-honored
by Jefferson, expounded by Jackson,
Tilden and Cleveland.
1--WE believe with Thomas Jefferson
that the market value of bullion regu-
lateS the value of the coin, and not it's
coin value We accept the teaching
or economic science, that under free
coinage the cheaper money will always
drive out the better money, leaving
nothing but the poorer in circulation,
and by that unvarying law the adoption
OF free coinage of silver at 16 to J.
would expel from circulation all the
gold and paper money redeemable il
gold and leave the country on silver
basis, with a poorer currency and
much less of it.
I'VE believe that common honesty
and a just regard for the rights of our
creditors, as we'll as the rights of the
Wage-earners, require rs to use all
honorable means to prevent the inser-
ton of a free coinage plank in the ma
tional platform.
1--WE adhere to our previous deoIara-
tons on this subject, and declare our
selves unequivocally and unreservedly
for the metallic money as the standard
unit, the bullion and mint value of
which are approximately the same, and
the purchasing power of which, re-
CARELESS of government mintage, is the
least fiuctuating in all the markets of
the world.

In making this deal 1 have secured
the good will of Cahoon to allow you

as you may wish them and as already
stated in my letter of the 1st instant
