HAVANA, March 25.-The arrests of
suspects continue at such rate that
the prisons are full and epidemics
among the prisoners are feared. The
DEGREES of Gen. Weyler are being en-
forced with great harshness against
Cubans supposed to have Cuban sympa-

The subordinate Spanish officers say
that secret orders have been given to
take no prisoners. The Cubans release
all the Spanish soldiers captured.
The Spanish give no quarter. So
many plantation employees and owners
have been butchered that the men
dare not remain on the plantations
and the women have been left in

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.
If the Free silverites Got All They Ar
Clnmorlng For.

If the Free Silverites Got All They Arc
Clamorlng For.
If it were known by the public that a
law was about to pass congress or that
at the end of given time law would
pass authorizing what the free silver
agitators are clamoring for, all the gold
money would disappear from circula-
tion like flash. All the silver dollars
and the paper currency would drop to
n discount of or 10 per cent. within a
week, and the tumble would continue
from day to day, until the silver dollars
would speedily be worth no more in
gold than the selling value of the silver
bullion of which they are composed,
as is the case in Mexico. The bullion
value of the silver dollar of the United
States now is but a trifle more than 54
cents. 1t soon would be worth much
less than that under the prospect of a
huge increase in the production of sill
yer if free coinage at 16 TO were re-
solved on by law. 1t could not be carried
into effect, as no one would have gold
coined at that ratio. Those of the free
silver agitators who have any sense are
well aware that such would be the re-
suit, and they agitate for free coinage
in the expectation it would bring about
just that state of things.
Some of the silver miners of the noun
tain states think the 16 to1 free silver
decline would not be sudden but grad.
ual, and that before the collapse to the
bullion value occurred they could sch
out their mines, the lean as well as the
fat ones, thus raking in fortunes and
retiring from the business with pockets
full of gold. That is the powerful in
centive which urges them to agitate in
and out of congress for the passage of
bill authorizing the free coinage Of
silver at what they know would be an
impracticable ratio. They have no idea
of being able to get double the bullion
value of their silver by sending it to the
mint-Chicapo Tribune
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1896-03-28

the five years, and in excess Of $1,000
100000 for the decade. This would be
more than all of the mines of the world
gave forth in the 200 years previous to
the discoveries in California.
Various reasons have been offered for
this increase, but the best is that the
cost of mining has decreased. Veins at
one time left unworked because un-
profitable can now be mined at liberal
margin of profit because of the de-
crease in the cost of machinery and the
adoption of improved methods. Stril1-
ing an average, $27 will buy the same
supplies that cost 500 in 1870. In view
of these facts the argument brought
forward by the silver fanatics that the
closing of the mints to the white metal
is the cause proves itself absurd.-Chi-
cago Times-Uerald,

why should they not boldly strike out
on an independent course2 If they are
as strong as they claim to be they can
get possession of the entire government,
the Judiciary excepted, by March 4, 1897,
and proceed to bring in the financial
millennium with none to molest or make
them afraid. BY all means let them try
it.-Chicago Chronicle.

committee on territories has decided in
favor of granting statehood to New
Mexico, and such measure may pass
the senate. But it is doomed to defeat
in the house of representatives. There
are many good reasons why New Mex
leo should not become state, but the
most important one in the mind of the
public is that we do not want any in
crease of free silver strength in the SEN
ate so long as the large majority of the
voters of the entire country are in favor
of sound money. New Mexico must
wait at the door until the people of that

Eva Booth Fails to Heal the Breach In
Chicago Salvation Army Ranks.
Chicago, March 24.-The division in
the Chicago Salvation Army still exists.
Three of the most efficient officers at
divisional headquarters have declared
to the commissioner their intention of
leaving the army. That is the immedi-
ate result of Eva Booths visit and her
!nquisition of the disa1fected. Adjt Her
ron requested Brig. Gen. Fielding to
look for some one to take his place. He
did not hand in formal resignation but
states that he will do SO on the first Of
April. Heron will gO over to the Bal
lington Booth army. He is second in
command to the brigadier general in
the old army and is divisional secretary
of the territory comprising Wisconsin,
Michigan and Illinois. In his district
are 7,400 army members and the white
ribbon brigade are jubilant, believing
that Adjt. Herron's move will be of
great value to Ballington Booth.
New York, March 24.-Ballington and
Mrs. Booth have issued a statement,
through Lieut.. Col. Glen, to the effect
that they will under no circumstances
again take command of the Salvation
Army in the United States. The state
ment was prompted by report from
London that efforts are being made to
induce Mr.. and Mrs. Booth to accept
their old command.

FREE SILVER FIRST.
Utah Senators Place Cheap Currency Be-
fore Everything.

Utah Senators Place Cheap Currency Be-
fore Everything.
The new senators from Utah are the
frankest advocates of free coinage who
have yet appeared in congress. In ac-
cepting their election by the Legislature
both Mr.. Brown and Mr.. Cannon made
devotion to the cause of silver the first
and chief object of their action. "Of
course" said Mr.. Brown, I'VE are
pledged for silver" While their con-
stituents work, the senators will speak
and vote, "and we will try to vote the
way they work, in behalf of that great
industry" Mr.. Cannon, the other
senator-elect, was even more explicit
and emphatic in his pledge to work for
special benefits to his constituents at
the expense of the nation, saying
among other things:
81 shall try to remember at all times,
and on all occasions, the great need to
the west, TO make that which we pro-
duce here the life-blood of the nation;
not merely by one act, not merely by
one outburst, not merely by demanding
that some particular pet bill be passed;
on all occasions, in season and out of
season, that which will be my duty,
to do everything can to advance the
relative price of silver; and shall do
it, and L hope that finally the great
goal will be reached which the nation
demands, that which the west alone
is to-day yoicing, and which is to the
good of all, the passage of such legis-
lation as shall make the free coinage
of silver possible at the ratio of sixteen
to one. That is the main thing"
1t is such men as these that make up
the majority for free coinage in the
senate. Their motto is: What do we
care for abroad?" Their object is to
advance the price of silver for the bene-
fit of their constituents, no matter what
the effect upon the nation at large

Spanish journal Declares Spain Is
Ready to Fight
Madrid, March "a. - Two articles
that appear in the Epoca which are sup
posed to reflect the views of the cabinet
have caused much comment. The first
article challenges the United States to
cast aside its mask and show it's colors.
1t says if America wants a war Spain
is ready to face it with dignity. If a
war is not wanted the American poll
ticians ought to desist from their veXa-
tious debates.
The second article reviews possible
European alliances. 1t finds fault with
them all, but inclines to those countries
whose interests are equally opposed
to the American-Japanese claims. All
the Madrid papers concur in the belief
that anything would be better than un-
certainty.
Madrid, March "a. - The Heraldo
publishes an article declaring that
Spain will never recognize an American
commission of inquiry into matters
affecting Cuba. War, the paper says,
is preferable and the government ought
to resent with energy any interference
on the part of the United States.

Failure of Lake Coal Shippers, Pool.

PITTsBURG, March 25.-There is less
prospect now of the formation by the
local operators of lake shipping pool
than when the suggestion for reor-
ganization was first made. There was
no meeting Tuesday between the ship
pers representing Pennsylvania, Ohio
and West Virginia and there is not
likely to be any soon. The prospects
for the consummation of the agreement
made separately by the Pennsylvania
and Ohio shippers by joint session
were destroyed in the preliminary
meeting of the Pittsburg operators.
The meeting dissolved and 1t is believed
the whole plan has collapsed.

A TERRIBLE STORM.
Believed that the Fill Islands Have Again
Been Devastated.

VICTORIA, b. c., March 25.-If the
terrific storm which destroyed the ba-
mana crop of the Fiji islands in Janu-
ary, 1895, is any criterion, Suva, the
capital of the islands, is to-day suffer-
ing from the effects of a hurricane such
as that country has probably never
known before. The hurricane was felt
by the Canadian-Australian liner War
rimoo, which has just arrived here,
while the vessel was one days steam
ing from that port and it was identified
by her officers as being exactly similar
to the storm of a year ago, only its
fury was greater, and its effects are
believed to be more disastrous. 1t
seemed to race from every quarter and
the elements were so fearfully inter-
mingled that to those on board the
Warrimoo they appeared truly appal-
ling. Although it was early morning
when the storm developed, within a
few minutes inky darkness prevailed.
The ship plunged and lunged for
hours, heavy seas washing her decks
and carrying away everything move
able. 1t is the opinion of the Warri-
moo's officers that the storm must have
passed over Suva, and if such should
prove to be the case, the little capital
must have been wiped out.

Mt Minneapolis Declares for Mckinley.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, March 25.-In
the convention hall wherein BENJAMIN
harrison was nominated for the presi-
dency of the United States, the repub-
publicans of Minnesota yesterday de.
clared unanimously for Mckinley as
the next president of the United States;
renewed their fidelity to the principles
of the republican party; declared their
belief in the policy of the United
States as declared by James Monroe;
demanded the restoration of the prin-
ciples of reciprocity as national pol.
icy, and passed resolution favoring
the use of both gold and silver to the
extent of which they can be main
tanned at parity on the purchasing
and debt paying power and opposing
free coinage of silver.
At the opening of the convention a
telegram was read by Congressman
Tawney from Senator Cushman Davis
announcing his retirement as candi-
date for the presidency of the United
States. This step on the part of Mr..
Davis was not unexpected and left
everything wide open for the Mckinley
men, who sailed right into the gap and
carried everything before them. r. G.

son, of st. Paul; L. P. Hunt, of Blue

quest that my name be not considered in the

Give oil my friends my most enduring and
heartfelt thanks Minnesota republicans
should, in my opinion, declare against the Uni

also declare for protective tariff that will en-

at wages adequate to the American standard OF

hood against the competition now threatening

also, by provisions for reciprocity, enlarge our
foreign commerce with nations who produce
what we cannot produce That will assist the
policy of the United States as disclosed by
James Monroe and by every one OF our states

y LOUIS manufacturer Forced
to Suspend.
ST. Louis, March 24.-The business
circles of this city received shock
Monday afternoon by the announces
ment that Kingsland & Douglas, for
merly Kingsland & Ferguson, manufac-
turers of agricultural implements, had
gone to the wall. The assets and busi-
ness of the firm were placed in the
hands of Charles w. Bates, attorney for
the creditors, under deed of trust
Monday evening.
The principal creditor is the Mechan-
les bank, for S64,5OO. The aggregate of
other claims is $41,5oO, carried by 35
firms and persons. Two years ago the
firm increased their stock from 100000
to S250,o00, and Mr.. Ferguson, president
of the Mechanics bank, withdrew from
the firm. The business is remunerative,
covering the entire world in shipments,
and it is assured that the firm will
liquidate dollar for dollar.
