leader of tariff reform, and says he is now
wanted as the leader Of the war party in

He also says that the war sentiment will
be in Cleveland's favor in November. He
says the administration will be heard from

and also on the Venezuela boundary, and
then it will be Cleveland's call. Book
walter also predicts free silver platform,

tivating his old home constituencies and

New York Banker Who Is for Silver Sug-
gests Some Declarations.
WASHINGTON, May II. = Stewart pre-
sented in the senate a document prepared
by William P. st. John, president of the
Mercantile National bank of New York,
proposing a national platform for an in
dependent party for 1896 1t proposes that
the minis of the country shall be opened
to the unrestricted coinage of gold and
silver alike; demands protection in the
interest of the southern cotton mills
against Asiatic competitions; pronovnces
for the referendum and initiative systems,
and condemns "Clevelandism" utterly.
Referring to the effect of the various
declarations Of the proposed platform, St.
John says as to the first: ''Some would
acquiesce in FREQ coinage if they could
foresee freedom from panic on its adop-
ton. If SSO,OOO,OOO of bank clearing house
certificates can allay panic in Wall
street, the prospect of $500 900, 600 of United
States coin certificates is likely to stiile
any panic that would arise"

MADRID, May 1l.-There are evidences
of growing popular excitement in Spain
over the attitude of the United States
government toward the question of the
fllibusters captured on board the Competi-
tor. The riots and outbreaks of popular
Indignation toward the United States mt
the time of the passage through congress
Of the resolutions favoring the recognition
Of the Cubans as beligcrants have not
been forgotten, and the sentiments which
caused them are but snoldering. The
widespread sympathy felt for the insur-
gents in the United States is well recoy-
nized by the Spanish people, and the news
Of expeditions from the United States
landed from time to time in Cuba creates
intense irritation
The news of the captures Of the men on
the Competitor was received with great
satisfaction and rejoicing 1t was felt to
be the first opportunity that had been Of
fcred to make an example of those engaged
in feeding the instruction. The popular
demand for their execution is general and
is likely to become vociferous. The action
of the United States Is regarded rather as
an expression of sympathy with the insur-
rection, and there will be a strong popular
clamor to disregard it. The public feeling
on the subject Is fostered by the tenor Of
the advices received from Havana. Ale
CATIONS are made in these Havana dis
patches of very extraordinary conduct on
the part Of Ramon O. Williams, the
United States consul general.
II these are not true they are ncverthe-
less certain to add fuel to the fire of popu-
lar Indignation in Spain. Williams atti-
tude, it is asserted is the subject Of gen
eral censure in Havana and is said to be
very provocative. The story goes onto re-
late that the United States consul shows
himself everywhere in public places in
Havana, using irritating ard menacing
language regarding the probable action Of
