GEN. GOMEZ HEARD FROM

He Makes His Letter Short by Copying

Palma, the Cuban delegate, has re-

Gen. Maxine Gomez, the COM

April %. Gen. Gomez says:
In order to make this letter short

trying to have the Spanish on the
rear. The Spanish do not stir and
the night prevents further opera

April l9-I countermarch, al
ways on my plan. The enemy ad-
vanced under my fire and is brought
to difficult path, where his In
fantry can hardly move.
April 20-I continue advancing
with nothing to spoil my plans.
The enemy move with the same
caution as before. Night again
stops our maneuvres, the Span
iards seemingly not caring to press
very much on us and L, for my
part, having in mind the necessity
of sparing my men so as to march
with all our strength preserved
into other districts.
April 22-The enemy hardly ad-
vances half league toward me,
and abandoning my steps camp
at Iguara, one of their permanent
entrenched forts. In our march
we have described semi-circle OF
almost ten leagues in diameter,
and that has taken us more than
three days. l am told that the
Spanish column is under Col. Mar
tin and not forgetting the many
years OF campaign that have made
me familiar with the Spanish
cruelties and atrocities in Cuba L
have felt greater horror than ever
before.
lam fully confident Of the sue
cess Of our summer campaign and
have no doubt we shall continue
receiving your valuable support,
both morally and materially,
through your efforts near the
American government.
It is useless to say anything
about the operation in general
The reading Of the Spanish press
is enough to show which one OF the
two armies lead the campaign and
which is on the offensive.

MISSOURI REPUBLICANS.
C0NTENDING FACTIONS INDULGE IN
RIOTING FOR THE HALL.
One Set Of Delegates Barred Out and
Storm the Oastle-Pohce Called To
Preserve the Peace.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo, May 12.-The
republican state convention was
almost turned into a riot this
morning before the delegates were
admitted to the hall. The time
set for opening the hall was 10
o'clock and at that hour fully 1000
people were in front of the Cram
ford opera house clamoring for ad-
mittance. The cause OF the trouble
was a disagreement between the
Filley and Kerens factions for
supremacy.
The former, as chairman Of the
state committee, issued tickets to
his set Of delegates before leaving
st. Louis. Kerens and his follow
ers are present in force with con-
testing delegates. The local COM
mittee OF arrangements recognized
Kerens as boss and this committee
also Issued tickets to the conven-
ton and having obtained posses
sion Of the key to the hall, refused
to admit any one until Filley
would consent to compro-
mise. For over two hours the dele
gates stood in the sun cursing
alternately Filley and Kerens, but
all to no purpose.
About II o'clock reporters and
telegraph operators were admitted
to the convention hall, but the
delegates were kept outside while
truce was being arranged be-
tween the factions.
A little later a crowd OF men
wearing Filley hats congregated in
the rear OF the theatre and at
tempted to smash in the door.
They used battering ram and
glass was smashed. The sergeant
alarms on the inside telephoned
for the police, and patrol wagon,
full of officers, was sent to the
scene. The sergeant-at-srms being
unable to identify the individuals
using violence no arrests were
made, but the officers remained on
guard.
John L.. Bittinger, chairman Of
the local committee of arrange
ments, still has possession Of the
key and will not admit any one to
the hall. The delegates in the
street are furious and threats are
made that both Fllley and Kerens
will be turned down when the con.
vention finally opens.

JOHNNY BULL EXCITED.
The Russians Have Taken Possession of
Disputed Territory.

Disputed Territory.
LONDON, May PA special dis
patch from Shanghai says that the
Russians, through an American
agent named Smith, have taken
possession Of the disputed territory
at Che Foo, over which the British
claim rights. Six Russian war
ships are there as we'll as the De-
troit, Yorktown, Olympia and
Machias, of the United States
navy. The dispatch adds that
great excitement prevails at Che
Foo. A dispatch to the Globe from
Shanghai says that the Russians
have seized lot twelve of the British
concession at Che Foo, in defiance
of all legal and treaty rights. The
Globes editorial comment on the
dispatches from Shanghai contains
the remark that the seriousness
of the news from Che Foo cannot
be over estimated. The action
taken is in direct contravention
with the existing laws and treaties
and cannot be viewed by Great
Britain as other than an unfriend-
" act."

by districts Of the states, as to the
preference of the delegates to the
Chicago convention on the finan-
cial question and today publishes
it's specials from all the states that
have not selected their delegates.
The states that have held their
conventions are listed as follows:
Gold-Michigan Is; Massachu-
sets 80; New Jersey 90; Pennsyl-
vania Ga; Rhode Island s; Wash
ington 3; District Of Columbia 2.
Silver-Alabama, %; Colorado,
s; Mississippi, IS; Missouri, "a;
Nebraska, 16; Oregon, 8; Tennes-
see, "a; Washington, 6; District of
Columbia, 4.
This table shows 13l for silver
and 134 for gold, but IL the unit
rule should not prevail Michigan
would cast 10 votes for silver. The
Enquirer states that 1t is fight Of
the south and west against the
east; that the two largest states
except New York in the gold
column, are Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts, while few of the
western and southern states have
chosen delegates. 1t is conceded
that New York, all New England,
Maryland, Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin will elect gold delegates but
that the silver men will carry all
the other states including, Ken
lucky, Virginia, Illinois and West
Virginia, as we'll as the states con-
coded to the silver men.
In summarizing its Ohio reports
the Enquirer says:
"In every estimate made the
gold men have claimed Ohio as
solid with them. This state has
never used the unit rule. OF the
Sc delegates elected up to Monday
to the state convention 81 were in
structed for silver, and among the
counties represented are the dem
ocratic stropgholds Of Allen, Fair
field, Holmes, Licking and Mon
roe, the first named being the
home of Senator Brice. That the
silver men will have majority Of
the Ohio delegation seems almost
assured and a conservative esti-
mate OF the strength Of the two
elements would be silver Is, gold
49,"
From the returns of conventions
held and from reports from states
where conventions have not yet
been held the Enquirer tables as
