much to his influence as to that exerted
by Mr.. Crisp. The two men have worked
together in perfect accord. Captain How
ell was among the first to urge that the
West and South should unite to restore
silver to it's former place as money of re-
demption in this country.
A third and interes ting man mentioned
is Eustis of Louisiana. And an interest
ing announcement just now is that Mr..
Eustis is on the ocean on his way home
for visit. He will land in New York
next Saturday. Although in Office under
this administration, he is silver man.
His most notable speech while he was in
the Senate was in advocacy of the free
coinage of silver, and it was regarded as
the most notable speech of that session on
that subject. 1t is likewise urged in sup
port OF Mr.. Eustis that he is a thorough
American, and in his London speech last
year led all those members of his party
who have since insisted on stiff assertion
of American rights and American obliga-
tions. He found his voice on that subject
eight months before his chief IN the White
House did.
The list is pretty full one. Walt Hall
of Mississippi, Morgan of Alabama, Bland
of Missouri and Culberson OF Texas are all
in it.

With 10000 Additional Spanish
Troops He Contemplates a
Decisive Stroke.
WILL DISMISS VOLUNTEERS
And Premises That Within a Year
He VIII Return to Spain
Triumphant.

HAVANA, CUBA, June CIT is re-
ported on good authority that Captain
General Weyler is pleased with the aspect
Of military affairs in the island, and that
the Government has expressed its ap-
proval OF his plan OF campaign. He is con-
fdent that with the re-enforcements of 40
600 men promised him by the Minister OF
War he Will be able TO crush the rebellion,
and that he will return triumphant to
Spain in June next. Ii is his intention to
send 10000 Of the new troops, when they
arrive, to the province of Pinar del Rio,
where they will be employed in crushing
Naceo, and the other %, 900 will be used to
strengthen the Jucaro trocha. These re-
endorsements will enable General WeyIer
TO dispense with the services of the volun-
teers who are at present doing garrison
duty.
Andres Hernandez Rodriguez and Mig
uel Alfonso Cabrera were shot in the
Cabanas fortress to-day for the crime of
rebellion.
The rebel leader Monies de -Orca has
surrendered to the Spanish authorities at
Sagua.
Last night body of rebels fred upon
the fort protecting Guanabacoa, just
across the bay from Havana. They were
Tepulsed by the garrison. Another band
attacked the town of Orroyo Arenas,
twelve miles from Havana. They were
also repulsed. On their retreat they
burned several houses at Centaranas,
close to Orroyo Arenas.

FIRM FOR SOUND MONEY,
But Ex-Governor Russell of Massa-

dental Nomination.


BOSTON, MASS, June 22.-When seen
to-day in regard to the report that he was
going to Chicago with ex-Secretary Whit
ney, Ex-Governor w. E. Russell said:
"At the earnest request of Mr.. Whitney
and others l am going to Chicago with him
to give whatever help can in the struggle
in the Democratic party for sound money
against free silver. My own views on the
subject are we'll known and have been
often stated. Believing the issue to be Of
the gravest Importance, not only to the
country, but to the present and future oil
the Democratic party, | cannot remain
inactive if it is thought l can
be of any service at Chicago.
cannot, however, go to Chicago under the
least suspicion that | am there for any
personal reasons, nor can l take part in
this fight embarrassed by any personal in.
terest in the result. l shall, therefore, de-
cline to have my name presented to the
convention as a candidate.
II believe in making the stoutest pos
sible fight for sound money and the gold
standard and shall not give up the fight
until the votes are counted. | consider it
both duty and a privilege to take part in
this struggle, and | shall do it with my
whole heart, unem barrassed by any per-
sonal considerations and in the earnest
hope and belief that the Democratic con-
venton will be both sound in its platform
and It's candidates"

HIGHLY ROMANTIC.
frances Greatest Living Painter Weds His
American Pupil After Twenty Years
courtshiD


NEW YORK, N. Y, June 22.-The little
chapel in the Rue Notre Dame DIES
Champs, Paris, was the scene to-day of
the marriage of Miss Elizabeth NJ. Gardner
of Boston and William A. Bouguereau, the
famous French painter. Miss Gardner is
the first American woman who has re-
ceived the gold medal of the Paris Salon
for picture. She is native of Exeter,
n. H., and twenty-five years ago went to
Paris to study art. After two years in the
schools she established an easel in the
studio of M. Bouguereau. She was then 20,
while he was 45. They fell in love and be-
came engaged, but owing to the objections
OF M. Bouguereau's mother to his mar
riage with a foreigner the nuptials were
delayed for twenty years. Nine. Bou-
guereau died last winter at the advanced
age of 81. Mss Gardner is described as
being very attractive, cordial, sympa-
thetic and without affectation. She is a
woman of lofty and noble character and

Entbassador Ettstts Saves the Life of a

EnabdssGdor Ettstts SAFES the Life of a
FrencbnIdn ia Cuba.
PARIS, FRANCE, June 22.-In the course
of conversation with high official of the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the CORE
spondent OF the United Press learned yes
t6rday of an interesting incident of the
Cuban war in which J. b. Eustis the
American E AMBASSADOR to France, was in
strumental in saving a French citizen
from death at the hands of the Spanish
military authorities in Cuba.
Some time ago Eustis received from
America a cablegram sent by promi-
nent com patriot, stating that a young
Frenchman had been arrested by the
Spaniards and was about to be shot on
account of his sympathies for the revo-
lutionists. The prisoners brother had
formerly saved the life of the sender of
the dispatch, who appealed to Eustis to
take what steps he could to save the
prisoner from Spanish butchery.
An appeal to the humanity and generos-
ity of EusJis always meets with an imme-
diate response, and the ambassador at
once drove to the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs and acquainted the Minister with
the news he had received. Neither the
Foreign Minister nor NJ Nisand, the per-
manent chief of the Department of Politi-
cal Affairs, were even aware that French
citizen was on the eve of execution in
Cuba, and dispatches were forwarded to
Madrid and to the French Consul at
Havana without delay.
Shortly afterward Eustis had the salts
faction OF learning from the Minister that
the negotiations with the Spanish Gov
eminent had resulted in the young
Frenchman's release The thanks of the
French Government for Eustis' kindly
initiative were joined to the information.
Ii transpired that when the Spanish
authorities arrested the young Frenchman
the French Consul merely forwarded to
Paris report by mail, which would only
have arrived here after his compatriot had
been executed. Hence the ignorance of
the French Government of the imminent
execution, which Mr., Eustis' Intervention
prevented.
The brother of the rescued man is a
well-known physician in Philadelphia.

List of Starters and Their jockeys In
the Big Race.
NEW YORK, n. Y, June 22.-The entry
list for the Suburban handicap to be run
tomorrow was made public this after
noon. The following are the announced
starters and their jockeys:
Henry of Navarro, Griffin.
NankIpooh, Doggett.
Hornpipe, Hamilton.
Sir Walter, Ballard.
Belmar, Simms.
Clifford. Taral.
The Commoner, Clayton.
The race promises to be one of the best
suburbans in years, for none but the best
horses in training are left in. The track
was very heavy last night after the rain,
but it has been drying out fast to-day, and,
except in some places, was in a fairly good
condition this afternoon. Superintend-
ent Park said it would be as fast as at any
time since it was built, and trainers agreed
with him.
Clifford and Navarro each did their last
work in 2:10, and both Rogers and Hyland,
their respective trainers, think the race
lies between them, although they have a
high respect for The Commoner.

CLAMoR FOR ANNE1
Cubans WGnt to Be Taken Into Uncle
Sdnl's Fold.

QUARANTINE, S. l., June 22.-William
Ryan OF Richmond, Collector OF Internal
Revenue for the Eastern District of Vir-
ginia, who has been visiting friends in
Cuba, and who, it is said, is the bearer of
dispatches from General Fitzhugh Lee to
the State Department, was passenger on
the Ward line steamer 1umuri, which ar
rived to-day. Along with number of
other persons from the tropical zone, he
is quarantined at Hoffman Island, but
will be released tom orrow morning.
Mr.. Ryan says the Cubans are more
clamorous than ever for annexation to the
United States and that while few repre-
sentative men of the island express some
doubt as TO the possibility of annexation,
the great majority regard such thing as
at once practical and desirable for both the
United States and Cuba as the ore solu-
ton of the situation. Sooner or later, the
Cubans say, annexation must surely be
accomplished The members of the au-
economist party no longer discuss auton-
omy or home rule under the Spanish flag.
They seem to be the chief agitators for
American annexation.
When asked about his friend, General
Fitzhugh Lee. the American Consul Gen
eral to Cuba, Mr.. Ryan said he left him in
excellent health and spirits and very busy
that he was making a thorough and i'm
partial study of the situation and that he
was just now at work on a report To the
State Department. Being a thorough sol
der and man of affairs, General Lee was
thoroughly adapted for the difficult task
which he had undertaken. AS to the bias
of General Lees report Mr.. Ryan could
not say. He expects, however, to remain
in Havana throughout the summer.

REFUSE PAY IN SILVER.
Foreign Laborers in PennSylva'
MIA Excited by a Political
Agitator.
Strike for Gold When Told That the
American Dollar Is Worth Only
Fifty Cents.

HAZLETON, Pa, June %. - The
monthly paydays of many of the contrac-
tors of this region were in the past week,
and considerable trouble was experienced
in paying off the foreign element. They
refused 10 take paper or silver money.
For the last week or two Anthony Reitz,
well-educated Austrian who speaks sew
eraI languages, has been among the for
eigners and put it into their heads that
the silver dollar was not worth more than
80 cents, and when any foreigner expressed
doubt regarding his statement he read
extracts from an American newspaper to
substantiate his argument
Jacob Ho an, contractor, who is build
ing the reservoir at Buck Mountain en-
ploys 300 men who had listened to Reitz s
arguments, and the result was that the
men held a meeting and decided they
would all be gold men, not only politically,
but commercially, and that their labor
should be traded on q sound-money basis
only.
Reitz, who is an under-boss, communl-
Gated this fact to Contractor Hogan Thurs
day. The men were to be paid their
months wages on Saturday. 1t did not
strike Hogan at that time that there
would be any difficulty in paying the men
in gold. He called at his bank and de-
manded $1,000 in gold. He was struck
dumb when the teller told him he could
not get that sum in the entire county.
Out of Sill, 100000 on deposit in the several
banks OF the county it is estimated that
scarcely half the required amount of GOLD
is in circulation.
The laborers, however, have refused to
go beyond the So limit on silver, and the
contractor is very much embarrassed in
consequence.
