They Are Anefous FOR This Coast to Be
Represented ia the Cabinet.
CLEVELAND, ONO, Dec. Ex-senator
Thurston of Nebraska, Senator Shoup of
Idaho and Secretary of State McFarlane
of Iowa were in the city to-day and each
paid visit to M. A. Hanna.
This evening, to United Associated
Presses reporter, they said their call on
Mr.. Hanna was of purely social char
acter. Both, however, seemed deeply in
terested in the pending tariff legislation
and in a candidate for Postmaster Gen
eral. They denied that these subjects had
been discussed with Mr.. Hanna, how
ever.
Pacific Coast representation in the Cabi-
net was favored by both the Senators,
though each had different candidate for
the same position. Senator Thurston
talked of NJ. H. de Young for the Post
master-Generalship and Senator Shoup
named Senator Perkins of California for
that Office. Secretary McFarlane was very
much inclined to say nothing at all about
the object of his visit, but among the local
Cabinet-ixers he is credited with an active
interest in the possible appointment of
Senator Allison to a place in the Cabinet.

Cuban SvmpGthfzers ir a Me1icGn TotUn
Become Demonsfr0tiUe.
SAN DIEGO, CAL, Dec. 22.-The Cuban
war fever is at strong pitch in sew raj
parts of Mexico. That republic, not less
than the free man of the United States, is
in strong sympathy with the lighters for
liberty on the island. On account of the
large number of Spaniards in Mexico and
the antipathy in which they are held the
feeling runs much higher than il the
United States. The Mexicans hate their
cousins across the wafer cordially. In the
City of Mexico there have been more than
a dozen personal encounters between
prominent men on account of the Cuban
question, and IN the city of San Luis
Potosi the feeling runs so high that serious
trouble is threatened.
Last Wednesday night mob gathered
in that city infamed by circular said to
have been written by Spaniard, defam-
ing Mexicans and Mexican institutions,
especially in reference to the part taken in
sympathy with the Cubans.
The circular precipitated small riot
The crowd gathered early in the evening,
constantly growing in number, until at
III o CLOCK II had reached the proportions
of a mob that swept everything before it.
The mob gathered in front of the Spanish
Consulate and threatened to demolish the
structure, but was finally controlled by
one or two cooler heads. Banners in
scribed with huge red letters were Haunted
before the Consulate, and violent talk and
insults were banded. The Spanish Consul
was in great peril, and appealed to the
authorities TO protect him.
The mob finally left, after severe meas
ures had been taken by the police. and
plans were hurriedIy made to disperse
any subsequent gathering. The Spanish
Consul officially demonstrated with the
Governor of the State, General Diez
Gutierrez, against the hostile demonstra-
ton. The National Government is fearful
of an outbreak that will assume danger
GUS proportions.

Ohio Republicans Determined q
Elrci Thrir EnNoritc.

y Nv
Columbus. Ohio, March 10. - The
Grand opera house could not hold half
the people waiting admission this after
noon to the Republican state conyen-
tion. The first demonstration was
when Chairman lckes escorted senator
elect Fcunker TO the presiding officers
chair, and from that time on one dem
onstratlon followed another ON the
mention OF McKinley's name or refer
ences to him.
After prayer by Rev. j. c. Watt
Chairman j. NJ. Ickes reviewed the
Mckinley campaigns In Ohio and the
two campaigns succeeding his admin
istration. and stated that at the state
convention In GAINESVILLE last year the
party entered into n pledge as sacred
as tho Trinity. That pledge marked
an important epoch In the history Of
Ohio Rcpubllcanism. II promised to
make Bushnell governor Foraker sem
ator and 10 use every honorable means
to make Mckinley president.
Two parts OF the Trinity had been
fulfilled una the Republicans Of ONO
now assembled TO enter sincerely into
the faithful execution OF the third part.
These remarks caused such n demon
stration that II was some time before
Mr.. Gcltes could Introduce Souator-elcct
Foraker as the temporary chairman Of
the convention, When Mr. Foraker WAS
introduced there was another bolster
Gus scene, which was repeated often
during the course of his speech, which
consisted In an eloquent review OF the
life OF Mckinley rs II soldier, states
man and presidential possibility.
y new state committee and the usual
committees for the convention work
were appointed, after which the con-
Nentlon adjourned until 10 o'clock to-
morrow.
