Nothing could be franker. The Farm
ers' Alliance was in favor of the free
coinage OF silver. Its members would
vote for no man opposed TO that pro-
position. Mckinley sent the letter TO
the Alliance, to assure its members that
he deserved their support. This declara-
ton has not until now found its way
out OF Stark county but no doubt Major
Mckinley will be glad TO have his writ
ten and carefully-considered opinion on
the monetary question brought to the
attention of the American public at large.
The letter throws strong light on his
character. 1t will interest the business
men Of the whole country.

The New York World publishes the fol-
lowing telegram from one Of its STAFF cor
respondents:
COLUMBUS, o.. June 3.-Here is let
ter written by Major Mckinley in his
desperate struggle to retain his seat in
Congress. when the fatal tariff law bear
ing his name swept the Republican party
out of power.
This document was written at the last
moment. and it pledged him as plainly
as language can 10 the free coinage OF
silver. 1t caused hundreds of free-silVer
men TO vote for him.
Farmer Bryan, conspicuous Demo
crat announced 10 all his friends in Stark
county that this letter satisfied him that
Major Mckinley was an outright and
sincere friend of the free-coinage idea.
The letter itself is as follows:

MAssACRED WOMEN.
FerOcity That Characterizcs ths
Spanish Methods I'm Cuba.


KEY WEST. Fla. Feb. 4-Some time
ago, when the insurgents entered Sabanilla.
the Spanish official report stated that they
were driven out by the garrison, and that
unfortunately three women were killed by
stray Bullets" The truth of what happened
there has just been learned and it shows
the Spaniards are acting almost as bar
barously in Cuba as the Kurds in Armenia
Sabanilla. an important town in Matanzas
province, was entered by four hundred in
surgents under Garcia. The Spanish reg
uiars retreated TO the barracks and made no
resistance. The Spanish volunteers. how
ever retreated to the church and fired on
the insurgents. The insurgents returned the
fire and killed five volunteers. The voiun-
teers then ceased firing. The Inhabitants Of
Sabaniila received the insurgents joyfully
and many poor people told Garcia they had
eaten nothing but cane for days. Garcia
then made the merchants open their stores
and told the people TO take food. Thirty
stores were looted Of provisions and one
storekeeper was shot for resisting. The in
surgents then retired. AS soon as they were
gone the Spanish volunteers came out of
the church and opened fire on the people in
the streets. Forty-six were killed. OF whom
thirty were women and children. Their only
offense was cheering the insurgents and
taking food to save themselves from starva-
ton. After shooting these people the yolun-
teers took ten Cubans. VINO had surrendered
on promise OF amnesty, and shot them in
cold blood.
Two thousand men. women and children
have reached Matanzas from Sabaniia.
They fled. fearing further masacres by the
Spanish volun teers. These are facts vouched
for by Maj. Juan Galvez of Sabanilla who
is in Havana to ask General Marin 10 pun
ish the volunteers.

Warner Miller's Views.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-'There is nothing
surprising TO me in General Harrisons
letter." said ex-senator Warner Miller to-
day ''It is nothing more than a formal
statement of the views which he has ex-
pressed to his friends scores of times in
the last fifteen months. He has repeatedly
declared himself disinclined to undergo the
trials of another presidential campaign
and this formal expression of his feeling
may be accepted as definite and final. The
effect of General Harrisons action on Gov
ernor Morton's prospects, continued Mr.
Miller. ''can hardly be other than helpful
He and the Governor are friends, and
to me that the Generals followers should
turn instinctively to the Governor, now
that their own leader has withdrawn from
the field. At all events, the Harrison let
ter will add new force and determination
to the movement for Governor Morton's
nomination"

yesterday asking about the letter of General

They were all answered with .he assurance
that the letter was genuine. but silence was
maintained in regard to the probabilities OF
