Cleveland Nav Act For Cuba.

ST. LOUIS, April l0.-A special
to the Globe Democrat from Wash
ington, d. C, says: A document
of great moment was drafted at
the state department on Monday
and was carried by Secretary
Olney in person to the White
House. 1t has been before the
president ever since. Several
times the secretary has been sent
for and has been closetted with the
president. General Schofield, in
whose knowledge of international,
civil and military law, the presi-
dent has confidence, has been
called to these conferences. The
document relates to Cuba. 1t
marks out the course which Mr..
Olney thinks the United States
should take and to which he de-
sires the president to commit HIM
self. The president has deliberated
upon the matter and it is now
thought he has reached conclu-
sion which will be made known to
the full cabinet today. Various
rumors prevail as to the character
of this document. There is reason
to believe that it is addressed to
the Spanish government, that it
deplores the existing war in Cuba,
that it earnestly desires an early
settlement on terms equally
honorable to Spain and the revolu-
tionists. In the document, it is
said, that President Cleveland Of

tween Spain and the revolution

Brooklyn's Mayor Objects.

NEW YORK, April 10.-Msyor
Wurstock, Of Brooklyn, has re-
turned the greater New York bill
to the governor with his disap-
proval. He says he does not see
anything In the condition of
Brooklyn to warrant the necessity
for such a bill that the bill is in
complete, inasmuch as it does not
provide for a consolidated govern
ment Of the three cities, New York,
Brooklyn and Long Island, and
because it does not provide for a
referendum. A majoritys Of the
legislature may pass the bill over
the mayors veto.

Fitzsimmons Kissed.

PITTsBURG, Pa, April l0.-Pu-
gilist FitZsimmons was Kissed of
the stage by the gallery gods at the
Academy of Music here Monday
night. The rendition Of the song,
"The Best Man of Them ALL" in
which Fitzsimmons was named as
that person, was greeted with
Kisses and groans, intermingled
with cheers.
Fitzsimmons' act, the last on the
program, opened with an exhibit
tion OF bag punching. AS he came
from behind the scenes, there arose
a chorus OF grosns from the gallery
gods. The champion gave the bag
several taps, then lost his patience,
strobe to the front OF the stage and
yelled: "If you fellows don't quit
I'll pull down the curtain" But
they did not quit, and after Bob
had punched the bag a few more
times, he pulled off his mitts and
left the stage.
Martin Julian, FitZsimmons
manager, appealed for fair play
and his conciliatory words quieted
the "gods."
When Fitzsimmons returned his
face was flushed and he looked dis
gusted, but the cheers that greeted
the pugilist pleased him and he
proceeded with his performance,
giving q fine exhibition Of bag
punching, and sparring three
gentle but interesting rounds with
his trainer, Dan Hickey.

SOME DIRTY WORK
OF THE POLITICAL BOSSES NO
DOUBT.
Will Use the American Protective Assc-
citation to Try and Beat
Mckinley.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 1.-THE
A. p. A. has declared war on Nc
Kinley, and through chairman Of
the national advisory board, Judge
III. ID. Stevens, who established
headquarters here yesterday, de-
clares that no step will be left I'M
done to unmake the Ohio man.
This was brought out by the
launching of a boom for the presi-
dency of Congressman w. s. Lin
ton, Of Michigan, who has been
the mouthpiece and champion of
the organization in the house Of
representatives.
1t came about by an alleged
snub administrated to the Nation
al board while it was in session in
Washington last week. The board
sent a letter to the managers OF
McKinly, Reed, Morton and ALI
son, inviting them to appear be-
fore the board and state their atti.
tudes towards the organization as
1t intened 10 take hand in the n a.
tional fight. All Of the managers
but Hanna obeyed the summons
and had long conference with,the
members of the board. Hanna
came not.
A second letter was sent to him,
and it brought q reply that Nc.
Kinley would recognize no faction
in the republican party and would
make no pledges or promises to
any secret organization.
1t was decided at once to fight
the Ohio man, and a resolution to
that effect was passed. Then the
managers Of the other candidates
were notified Of this action, and
that at the proper time the organi-
cation would act. 1t became nee
essary, to carry on the fight in
order to secure for them a candi-
date to throw the A. P. A. votes to,
Linton was selected as the man.
When Chairman Stevens arrived
in st. Louis on Monday, he set up
national headquarters and at once
launched Unions boom, and hun
dreds Of Linton buttons are already
being worn.
In an interview last night he an
nounces that the organization viii
defeat Mckinley for the nomina-
tion if possible, and if not will
fight him at the polls. Judge
Stevens says Of the four delegates
already chosen to the national con-
vention there are ninety members
Of the A. p. A. and that the organ
ization will secure sixty more, and
with the $50 votes will be able to
defeat Mckinley and nominate a
man to their own liking. His ac-
tions have created the greatest as
constituent in political circles
here.

At Time on the Field Of Honor.
BERLIN, April l0.-[Copyright
1896 by Associated Press There
was a sensation in court and mill
tary circles here this morning,
when it was announced that an
other duel, growing out of the
great court anonymous letter scan
dals, had taken place in the woods
near Potsdam, and that Baron Won
Schrader, master Of ceremonies of
the Prussian court, had been shot
and seriously wounded by Count
Won Kotze.
The latter was formerly court
chamberlain and was acquitted on
a charge of being the author OF the
anonymous communication al
luded to. Count Won KotZe and
Baron Won Schrader used pistols
and the latter VS. severely
wounded in the abdomen. He was
taken to the hospital, where his
wounds were pronounced Of most
serious nature. Count Won KotZe's
arrest has been ordered and his
friends say he will surrender when
ever called upon to do so.
This Is the third duel OF a series
of about a dozen for which chal-
lenges were sent out last April by
Count Won KotZe and he repeated
today his announcement Of his de-
termination to keep on fighting his
enemies, one by one, until he has
settled accounts with all on his
list. Those who know Count Won
Kotze feel confident that he will
keep his word.

ELECTION A FARCE.
No Cuban Representatives in the Spanish
Oortes.

No Cuban Representatives in the Spanish
Cortes.
NEW YORK, April 10.-A special
to the World from Madrid says:
A better feeling prevails and es-
pecially among the journalists,
and the politicians because of the
sympathy for Spain displayed by
the press Of Europe, and especially
that of France.
Official kilograms from the
Spanish legation in Washington
assure this governments that Presi-
dent Cleveland will take no notice
OF the Cuban resolutions odopted
by the congress and will not move
at all in the matter until the war
in Cuba takes some decisive turn.
The improved feeling and the
guarded tone Of the Spanish papers
materially aid the authorities in
checking anti-American demon
STATIONS which now are prompted
exclusively by Republicans.
Senior Sagasti, having been ques-
toned by his followers regarding
the coming elections in Cuba de-
clared: 81 consider it is carrying
fiction too far to bring into parlia-
ment an alleged representation of
Cuba. / deny absolutely the le.
gality OF the polls which summon
hither those who will come to the
next parliament styling them
selves deputies OF Cuba.
elections are impossible where
war has destroyed the electoral
machinery and where the electors
can only move midst the bayonets
of our soldiers in districts occupied
by troops or with passport de-
livered by the insurgents in the ex-
tensive territory they hold. The
representation of Cuba in parlia-
ment having no other origin than
force by the captain-geperal is a
scandal. / cannot countenance 1t.
My attitude is the logical sequence
of what 1 have always believed
and which / have declared on
various occasions since the dissolu-
ton of the last parliament.
Therefore, 1 insist that the dep
uties from Cuba will lack all au.
thority, will not be legal represen'
atives of the colony in the cortes,
because the y represent no other suf-
frage than that of the governor
and as 1 will not recognize those
deputies as legitimate / intend at
the proper moment to make a
public and formal protest"
Senior Sagasta's views are shared
by the liberals, the reformists, the
dissenting conservatives.
Both Captain-General Weyler in
Cuba and Governor-General Mar
tint in Porto Rico, in order to salts
fy the demands Of the local reac-
tionary parties, have modified the
apportionment of seats to suit the
proteges of members OF the cabinet
and home politicians.
