"A CULLOM HAND
LING THE EXTRAS
It Is War to the Knife-The Opposition
Determined to Prevent Instructions for
the Ohio Observation-Disclosures Threaten
to Defeat Tanner.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 29.-The
Mckinley leaders gathered here for
the State convention tomorrow de.
clare that the opposition has agreed
that rs soon as the candidate for gov.
ernor shall have been nominated the
delegates-at-large to the national
convention shall be selected, and that
then the question Of the adoption OK a
resolution i%nstructing those delegates
shall be brought up. Senator Cullom
and his followers deny this, as also dc
the Cook county Chicago leaders.
Some of the radical Mckinley fol.
lowers declare that the majority OF
delegates to the convention are in.
structed for Mckinley for President,
and that unless John R. Tanner
brings his men into line for the early
adoption of instructions to the dele.
~gates-at-large an attempt will be made
to sidetrack him in favor of some other
gubernatorial candidate.
The arrival of Senator Cullom en-
couraged the anti-McKinley faction.
He has a large following and a great
many OF the delegates who have been
instructed for Mckinley say that,
while they will not violate their in.
structions, they will support Cullom
in his desire to have a state ticket
nominated before taking up the mat
ter of delegates-at-large and resolu.
tions instructing them. Cullom said
this morning that he had agreed to
no compromise, and that he would
agree to none.
Nearly all of the delegates are here
now, and if a compromise between
the Mckinley and anti-McKinley men
can be effected twill probably bedone.
Nearly all Of the candidates for places
on the state ticket are opposed to
electing delegates-at-large to the Ma
tional convention until all of the
other nominations shall have been at
tended to. The Mckinley men say
they will not agree to this, as it is
only a scheme of the machine to turn
their ~favorire down.
Their are now more people in town
than have been at any Illinois conven.
ton ever held and with every train
the crowd is increased. Not even cot
room can be had at the hotels.
DIR. q. N. Jameson, chairman of
the Republican State Central commit
tee and leader of the Cook county
men,, who will call the convention to
order, said that there had been no
compromise between the Mckinley
men and those opposed to him. The
convention will be called to order in
the customary manner" he said.
THE organization will be completed,
and then if a majority of the dele.
gates favor selecting national dele.
gates at large before taking up the
nominations for the regular State
ticket it will be done. 1t will rest en-
tirely with the delegates. Neither ]
nor any other individual can decide
such a question. There is nothing to
compromise so for as l am concerned.
IT the convention votes to take up the
presidential question when the organ
ization is completed, it will be done;
otherwise the regular order will be
carried out.

PlaDs to Blow Up a Warship and Seize
Treasure and Town Thwartsa.
New YORK, April 3O.-The Herald
this morning says: 1.-The Spanish au-
thorities here and in Washington have
recently discovered a conspiracy
formed by Cubans to blow up a Span
ish warship. and at the same time
intercept a Peninsula mail steamship
and rob her of a large quantity of
gold intended for the government
troops on the island. The plot in
cluded further the capture of the sea-
port town of Neuvitas, and contem-
plated certain demonstrations along
the northern sections of the Eastern
Cuban provinces in order to precipitate
a rush of troops from the west and
effect a weakening of the military
trocha across Pinar del Rio.

A FOR HIGH TREASON
Five OF the Leader in the Transvaal Raid

Five OF the Leaders In the Transvaal Raid
Condemned.
PRETORIA, April a9.-The trial was
resumed yesterday Of the eers OF
the national reform committee Of
johannesburg. John Hays Ham
mond, the American mining engineer,
pleaded guilty of high treason, follow
ing the example of the other leaders
of the reform committee.
The lawyers for the defense then
read a statement signed by John Hays
Hammond, Lionel Phillips, George
Farrar, Charles Leonard and Colonel
Francis Rhodes, leaders of the reform
committee. This reviews the recent
history of the futile agitation for re-
dress of alleged Uitlander grievances
in the Transvaal; admitted that in the
face Of the rumors current that the
Beers were going to attack Johannes
berg, the slgners had asked DIR. Jane
son to come, but that they deplored
the mistake he had made in coming,
when there was no urgent need for
his presence; maintained that the ac-
ton had not been hostile to the re-
public, its officials having been pro.
tected and life and property having
been generally preserved. kilograms
which passed between Mr.. Belt of the
chartered South African company and
DR. Jameson, Colonel Francis Rhodes
and others were also read.
Then the counsel made a speech of
two hours duration in behalf of the
defense, concluding &C follows: If the
edge of the sword is to be used, it will
cause eternal misery in the republic;
but should the fat side be employed,
it will usher in peace and good will.
This morning the five men were
brought into court and all of them,
Hammond, Rhodes, Farrar, Phillips
and Leonard, were formally con.
demned to death.

RELIEF ON ALL SIDES
President Krueser's Action Will Have D
Decidedly Beneficial Effect.

PRESIDENT hrue erS Action VIII Have D
Decidedly Beneficial Effect.
CAPE Town, April {. -The report
that President Kruger had committed
the death sentences caused relief on
all sides and rejoicing in many quar-
tiers here. The step, it is held, will
have a decidedly beneficial effect upon
the relations between the British and
the Beers, even though it was antici-
pated to a great extent.
But the strain will be resumed
when the question Of Great Britain
paying an indemnity to the Transvaal
ome up. It is intimated here. how
ever, that the British government will
endeavor to shift the whole response
bility to the British Chartered South
African company, and the latter will
have to foot the Transvaal's bill when
it is presented.
Barney Barnato feels very bitterly
toward the Transvaal authorities. on
account of the treatment received by
the reform prisoners and the sem
fences imposed upon them. He is
closing all his mines and selling the
lands belonging to the Barnato COM
pany.
According to dispatches from Pre-
torla the close of the trial of the lead
ing members of the johannesburg re-
form committee, the presiding judge,
after summing up, said hat it was his
painful duty to pass sentence upon
the prisoners who had pleaded guilty
of high treason, but he expressed the
hope hat the executive would show
the anne clemency that it had ex-
hibited during the crisis which marked
the beginning of the year. Then
amid intense silence throughout the
court room, he passed the sentence of
death.
A few minutes later the remaining
ffty-nine prisoners, including Joel
Barnato, a nephew of Barney Barnato;
Mr.. P%etlehein, the Turkish consul and
formerly attorney general for Cape
Colony; j. w. Leonard and Cape Mein,
J. S. Curtis, V. B. Clement, J.. Lawley,
H. J. King and Mr.. Bingham, all
Americans, were sentenced each to
two years imprisonment and three
years punishment and ordered to pay
q fine of $4,000, in default of which
they will undergo another years inn
~prisonment.

DYNAMITE IN HAVANA.
Bold Attempt Made to Blow Up the
Palace OF the Captain General.

Palace OF the Captain General.
HAVANA, April 29.-An explosion,
believed to be due to dynamite OF
some other high explosive, occurred
in the palace of the governor general
at 1880 o'clock this morning.
The defamation was sharp and the
building was partly filed with dust,
while the noise of breaking glass and
falling plaster could be heard on all
sides.
The explosion occurred in a closet
in a low story or basement under the
city hall, which part of the building
was converted into a heap of-rubblsh.
The walls were torn, great stones fell
and a printer belonging to the cap
tain generals office was wounded.
It was at first believed that the
steam boiler had exploded, but when
it was found to be intact it was sus.
pected that the destruction was caused
by dynamite. The real cause, how.
ever, is not known.
The greatest excitement prevails as
a result OF this explosion, which nat
urally is attributed to the insurgents
or their friends.
