MRS. GATORS VIEWS.
Believes in Woman Suffrage, Economy
and the Free Coinage of
Silver.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, May 12.-Mrs. T.
V. Gator, the winsome wife of the gentle
man who is to be the Populist Senatorial
candidate, is one of the two women dele
gates to the convention.
She arrived last evening in company
with the woman-suffrage delegation from
San Francisco and is the only woman dele
gate present, the ether lady Populist, who
was eIe cted from Los Angeles, being pre-
vented from attending by illness. Mrs.
Gator thus clearly and conclsely states her
position in politics:
81 have taken great interest in study
ing economic questions, and l have
reached the conclusion that the Omaha
platform is correct statement of prin-
ciples. 1 did not desire to be delegate to
the convention, but as 1 was elected I
have attended. wished to resign, but so
many have asked me to accept that /
finally concluded TO do so. and here am.
have done little work for woman suf-
trage, but think it is just.
II consider free coinage of silver rieht.
and that it is very unjust to grant the
rights of free coinage to gold and denv il
to silver, because that depreciates prices
and makes money scarce, and thereby i'm
poverishes the debtor and turns all
property to the extending class, but l
further believe that all money should be
issued by the Government, and be a full
legal tender for ali debts"

Denies That He and His

to Resign.
CASES OF FILIBUsTERS.
Findings of the Court-Martial Are
Mailed to Spain for
Review.

One More Patriot, Convicted of the
Crime of Rebellion, Shot
at Matanzas.
CoNFIsCATE THE COMPETITOR

HAVANA. CUBA, May 12.-General
Weyler authorizes the statement that the
roceedings of the court-martial in the
case of Milton and others captured on the
filibuster Competitor were forwarded to
Madrid for the action of the Government,
by the mail steamer leaving Havana May
10. General Weyler also states that all
rumors that he or any of his generals have
threatened to resign if the sentence of the
court-martial in this case should be modi-
fed are utterly untrue.
The findings of the conrt-martial before
which was tried the five men who were
captured on the fibustering American
schooner Competitor were published to-
day for the first time. As already cabled,
all of the accused men were convicted and
sentenced to death. 1t has been ordered
that proceedings be Instituted for the con-
fiscation of the Competitor.
Florentine Herrera, convicted of the
crime of rebellion, was shot at Matanzas
this morning.
1t is rumored that Maximo Gomez with
strong force of rebels has re-entered the
province of Matanzas. His vanguard is
said to be near the town of Baro.
MADRID, SPAIN, May 12.-Spain and
the United States have arrived at an ami
cable understanding, and the Competitor
prisoners will be allowed fresh trial be-
fore the ordinary court under the existing
treaties between Spain and the Unite d
States

OLHET HAS ADTISED.
1t Would Seem That His Protest Wos No

1t Would Seem That His Protest W0s Not
necessary.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 12.-It is
asserted that when the official correspond
ence relating to the Competitor incident is
made public it will be found that the
action of the Spanish Cabinet in directing
that the proceedings of the court-martial
be forwarded to Madrid for revision, which
was announced yesterday actually took
place last Friday, and that MinisterHannis
Taylor promptly communicated the fact
to Secretary Olney.
If this prove true it places the Govern
ment in curious position, as the protest
sent to Spain must have been received, if
at all, after news had been received that
Spain had voluntarily interfered in behalf
of the condemned men.
NEW YORK, n. Y, MAY 12.-Armv
officers become singularly reticent and de-
cline to express themselves the instant
crisis arises between the administration
and any foreign power, but enough was
gathered yestesday to show that those of
the army stationed at New York are not
at all uneasy at the prospect of war with
Spain. One prominent officer freely dis
cussed the situation ON condition that his
name would not be mentioned. He said:
eff we should GO to war with Spain the
United States would have possession of
Cuba in a very few days. In fact, in my
judgment, it would not require any longer
time than was necessary for the fleet to
reach Havana with the necessary forces on
board. The Spanish army on the island
would be between two fires at once, and
they are having about all they wish to do
+r1 -
vana. As for the Spanish naval force now
in Cuban waters, you, as well as any other
man, can see with half an eye that it
would not count for two hours against the
fleet of Admiral Bunce. now assembling in
New York harbor.
"No, l do not think the war would be
carried on by this country beyond the con-
fines of Cuba. However, that might de-
pend upon the amount of indemnity we
would think sne ewas entitled to in case the
provisions of the protocol were violated.
'If that protocol were stained in any
particular it might cost Spain dearly.
The only source of danger is that Spain
might take into her mind TO lombard some
of our minor ports. With the forces at
command for offensive operations, every
body is quite as familiar as any army man.
In fact the number of volunte ers would
only be limited by the call issued by the
President. We never have depended upon
standing army, and we would not need
any in the case of Spain. Now, if it were
England, the case would be vastly diff
ferent."
A Herald special from Richmond, Va,
says: General Fitzhugh will go to Wash
ington on Wednesday to receive his in
structions before departing for Cuba. He
will leave foS Tampa, Fla, Friday or

Contested Election Case C0ns.sssses Most
of the Day.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 12.-An
hour and half was occupied after the
opening of to-day's session in disposing of
a motion made by Perkins (R.) of Con-
necticut, chairman of the Committee on
Printing, to exclude from the permanent
record certain matters inserted by Wheeler
CD of Arizona, for which, it was asserted
by Perkins, he had received no permission,
Wheeler contended that he had a right 10
insert the matter complained of, but the
House held otherwise, and by vote of
144 to 75 the matter was ordered to be ex-
cluded.
The remainder of the day was spent in
discussing the contested election cases of
Rinaker VS.. Downing, from the Sixteenth
District of Illinois. The majority of the
Elections Committee No. 2 recommended
the unseating of Downing CD.
The principal speech of the day was that
of Moody (R.) of Massachusetts,, who
Joined the minority in sustaining Down
ing's right to the seat-at least, until re-
count of all the votes, ordered by the
House, shall demonstrate that he Is not
entitled to it.
The discussion will be resumed to-mor-
