walter, the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor of Ohio in 1857. He predicts that

in July. He eulogizes the president as the
leader of tariff reform, and says he is now
wanted as the leader Of the war party in
this country. Bookwalter believes that
the conditions in foreign affairs, especially
with Great Britain and Spain, will be
such two months hence as to compel the
Democracy to take up President Cleveland.

He also says that the war sentiment will
be in Cleveland's favor in November. He
says the administration will be heard from
at the proper time on the Cuban question,
and also on the Venezuela boundary, and
then it will be Clevelard's call. Book
walter also predicts a free silver platform,
and that the party will thus be kept to-
gether for a great struggle. Bookwalter
is away much of his time, but is now cul-
tivating his old home constituencies and
expects'to go to the Chicago convention as
u delegate.

SPANISH PEOPLE MUCH IRRIrArED
do Not Like Unclc Sans Attempts to Save
Filibusters.

----~
Filibusters.
MADRID, May 11.-There are evidences
Of growing popular excitement in Spain
over the attitude of the United States
government toward the question of the
1ilibusters captured on board the Competi-
tor. The riots and outbreaks of popular
Indignation toward the United States at
the time of the passage through congress
of the resolutions fayoring the recognition
of the Cubans as beligcrants have not
been forgotten, and the sentiments which
caused them are but smoldering The
widespread sympathy felt for the insur-
gents in the United States is well recog-
nized by the Spanish people, and the news
Of expeditions. from the United States
landed from time to time in Cuba creates
intense irritation.
The news of the captures Of the men on
the Competitor was received with great
satisfaction and rejoicing 1t was felt to
be the first opportunity that had been of
fercd TO make an example of those engaged
in feeding the insurrection. The popular
demand for their execution is general and
il likely to become vociferous. The action
of the United States Is regarded rather as
an expression of sympathy with the insur-
rection, and there will be a strong popular
clamor to disregard it. The public feeling
on the subject is fostered by the tenor Of
the advices received from Havana. Ale
cations are made in these Havana dis
patches Of very extraordinary conduct on
the part of Ramon q. Williams, the
United States consul general.
II these are not true they are neverthe
less certain to add fuel TO the fire of popu-
lar Indignation in Spain Williams atti-
tude, it is asserted, is the subject Of gem
cral censure in Havana and is said to be
very provocative. The story goes on 10 re-
late that the United States consul shows
himself everywhere in public places in
Havann, using irritating ard mcnacing
language regarding the probable action Of
tho United States toward the authogttiao

DETROIT, May 1.-THE Evening News
publishes an interview with Don NJ. Dick
inson, replying to the structures of Senator
Vest and other free silver men as to tho
alleged corruption of the late Democratic
state convention by officeholders.
Dickinson denies that Stevenson Dick
inson's law partner) or anybody else issued
any circular to otficeholders in connection
with the convention.
Through free silver congressman, he
says, free silver mon were put in all the
Offices of their districts, and in both
county and state conventions outnum-
bered the others two to one. According
to the law, he says, the places of delegates
could not be filled by proxies, as stated by
Vest. The 16-to-1 men never had a major
ity of the delegates elected, and the talk
of the use of money is 'pure and unadul-
terated SANDER and libel"

New York Banker Who Is for Silver Sug-
gests Some Declarations.
WASHINGTON, May II. = Stewart pre-
sented in the senate a document prepared
by William p. st. John, president of the
Mercantile National bank of New York,
proposing a national platform for an in
dependent party for 1896 1t proposes that
the minis of the country shall be opened
to the unrestricted coinage of gold and
silver alike; demands protection in the
interest of the southern cotton mills
against Asiatic competition; pronounces
for the referendum and initiative systems,
and condemns "Clevelandism" utterly.
Referring to the effect of the various
declarations of the proposed platform, St.
John says as to the first: ''Some would
ncquiesce in free coinage if they could
foresee freedom from panic on its adop-
ton. If $50, 900, 600 of bank clearing house
certificates can allay n panic in Wall
street, the prospect of $500, OOO, 900 of United
States coin certificates is likely to stifie
any panic that would arise"

As Indicated by o Proclamation Sent to .
Cuban Delegate in Florida.
TAMPA, Fla, May. 11.-Senor Ferdinand
Figueredo, Cuban delegate for this state,
has received by special message the follow
ing circular: "The owners of all estates
that are grinding cane and the platados
from our army will be Immediately hung
Identification is all that is necessary fer
their execution under this order. Special
commissioners are dedicated for their ap-
prehension." This is signed by General
Lacret Marriott, of the Matanzas division.
"Platados" are desertcrs from the Cuban
army who plumber and commit other
crimes and are enemies to both sides.
The circular was accompanied by the fol-
lowing letter addressed to Colonel Fig
uercdO: General Weyler, chief of the
enemy, two days ago gave an order that
all the estates should turn to grinding
cane. The cane on almost all these estates
has been already burned by me. l have
taken up the glove he has thrown down,
and am constantly burning the buildings
and machinery of the estates that grind,
firing on the labOrcrs, but partloning all
the prisoners that we take. Last night
