MORE THAN AN OVATION.
Cleveland, Ohio, Gives an Unprece-
dented Welcome,

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. S1.-The well
come given William J. Bryan by the
people of Cleveland tonight was unpre-
cedented in his campaign tour from
New York TO his home in Nebraska Be
yond doubt 1t was the most magnfi-
cent and most gratifying reception ever
accorded to the young candidate, ex-
ceeding in heartiness even the greeting
of the city of Buffalo last Friday, and
that was an ovation of which any man
might well be proud. Tonight's affair
was more than an ovation 1t was
something beyond comparison in the
series of enthusiastic outpourings that
have marked the progress of Bryan to-
ward his western home. 1t was con-
sidered remarkable from the fact that
Cleveland is the residence of Mr.. Mar
Gus A. Hanna, and one of the places

the candidate this convention would go

Il know that the acceptance of the
nomination by Mr.. Cleveland would
necessitate a sacrifice on his part, but

of the country when man should make
sacrifices for its welfare now is that
time

The Hawaiian Republican Club
The Hawaiian Republican Club
has presented to President Dole the
following resolutions:
"Res solved, By the Hawaiian Re-
publican Club, that they regard
with satisfaction the progress made
by Hawaii at the completion of the
second year of the Republic. While
many patriotic Hawaiians looked
upon the change of Government
with grave solicitude, uncertain of
the effect which might be produced
on the people, they now realize rea-
sons for rejoicing that the change
has been for the material advance
ment of all. They believe that Ha-
waii was prepared for Government
by the people. They earnestly hope
that Misrepresentation will cease in
order that all Of the native Hawai-
ians may candidly adopt the greater
freedom and noble conditions of the
Republic.
"They. congratulate President
Dole and the Government upon the
skill and ability displayed in admin
istering the commonwealth, and
pray God that he may have long
life, and the country peace and con-
tinued prosperity.
"They hope and trust that the
Fourth Of July, the natal day of
Liberty for America, may indeed
prove to be the day of new birth
for Hawaii, from which it may grow
into the highest and truest freedom.

Brutus-blow, as Maine was the most
fervent and furious champion OF
annexation only two short years

moreover, that the blow was delib.

The Cuban Rebellion.

HAVANA, June PA dispatch
from Madrid says the Minister of
War has sent the necessary funds to
equip and arm 10000 men destined
for Cuba.
New YoRK, June PA special to
the World from Santiago, Cuba,
says: The failure of Spain to CON
quer the Cuban patriots, besides
being proved by the continuous de-
feats of the troops in the field of
battle, the lack of money in her
treasury and poor credit she enjoys
is also plainly seen by the supreme
effort made in sending money, men
and war material to Cuba since the
beginning of the struggle with such
poor success. Since March, 1896,
Spain has sent to Cuba total of
$19,321,000.
From March, 1896, to April 10,
1896, Spain has sent to Cuba 40 gem
erals, 562 chiefs, 4768 captains and
lieutenants, 1896 sub-lieutenants.

cannon, l50,l1l rifles, 5000 bayonets,

of gunpowder These figures are

The San Francisco Bulletin per-
sistently decried the Hawaiian mon
archy and Queen Liliuokalani and
her native subjects, and had moth
ing but praise for Stevens, Wiltze
and Dole when the revolution Of
January, 1898, became fact. Then
it was right for the United States
Minister to Hawaii and Captain
Wiltze of the U. S. S. Boston to
overthrow the government of a
friendly power and install Mr.. Dole
and his crew in power.

Thus speaks the chosen orator of
the American colony in Hawaii on
the natal day of that Great Republic:
Territorial acquisition, or enlarge
ment is not the American policy;
yet we have accepted and shall
oheerfully accept any increase of
our national territory and jurisdic-
tion that seems to be natural and is
in accord with the proper spirit of
national progress and with our ma
tional character and institutions; !;
and it is my thought that we may
be, in the future, compelled by con-
siderations of prudence and the me-
cessities that may arise and affect
our national position, to relax, or
modify, our somewhat rigid doctrine
in relation to this subject.
1t may be that in the future the
people of the United States will see
fit to extend the jurisdiction of the
Republic beyond the present con-
tinental shore limits; but, in any
such case which may arise, this will
only be done in accordance with tho
desire and with the full and free
consent of the communities that
would be affected by the change.

The Congress of the United States
had all the evidence of completely
OF Minister Stevens and Captain
Wiltze in the overthrow OF the Ha-
waiian monarchy placed before it
by President Cleveland and Secre-
tary of State Gresham, and refused
to right the wrong that had been
done to Hawaii; but we have yet to
read in the Bulletin that America
has been covered with odium in the
eyes of the world. No, America is
the land of the free and the home
of the brave, and the hope of the
oppressed of the earth. History will
brand the action of the Congress of
America as it deserves to be.

Now the African affair and Cecil
Rhodes in particular, are treated
after the following manner by the
Bulletin, to satisfy hatred of Eng
land and her institutions:
"The English are evidently not
through with Dom Paul. He now
calls upon them to try Cecil Rhodes
and his lieutenants on charges of
completely in the Jameson raid and
offers to supply the British Govern
ment with evidence which must
lead to their conviction This places
Mr.. Chamberlain in an alternative
of no ordinary difficulty. He must
either call for the evidence or de-
cline to receive it, To pursue the
latter course would cover England
with odium in the eyes of the
world. President Kruger would, of
course publish the evidence, and it
would present England in the atti-
tude of a mean, underhand accom-
plice of freebooters, willing to shield
them from the consequences OF
their crime. The Colonial Secretary
must accept the offer"
