Carlos Exeta and His Brother Guilty
 of Treason.
 SAN SALVADOR, Aug. 28-A court martial was recently held in that city and Carlos Ezeta former president, and Antonio Ezeta. former vice president, were condemned to death after being found guilty of treason, rebellion and sedition, committed on June 22, 1890, when Francisco Menendez was presi- dent.

President Menendez was assassinated and by coupe d etat Carlos Ezeta was proclaimed president.
 Both brothers are now, however, be- yond the reach of the San Salvadorean justice and will never return to that country unless at the head of a revolu- tion

TIIE IBIE PALACE IN RUINS
Sultan's Abode at Zanzibar
 Destroyed by British.
IT WAS DONE IN SHORT ORDER.

Said Kahlid Was Ordered to Surrender
 the Palace and Upon Refusal Shots
 Were Poured Into the Place by Brit
 ish Warships-It Is Not Known How
 Many Persons Are Dead
 zASzIBAR, Aug. 28 -[Copyiighted, 1896, by the Assoc ated Press. The pal ace of the sultan of Zanzibar was bom- barded yesterday and i'll two hours was a mass of blaz ng ruins. The usurping chieftain, Said Kahlid, and commander of his forces, Said Sales, succeeded ill escaping t) the German consulate, where they have sought refuge and re- main under the protection of the Ger man flag Said Kahlid had with him in and about the palace 9000 well armed and disciplined men, plenty of ammuni- tion and a number of fieldguns and other pieces of artillery, which were trained on the British warships
 Early in the day cab.ed instructions were received from London, and con- ference was held between the admiral and the consal general and an ultima tum sent Sad Kahlid ordering him to surrender with his forces not later than o'clock Shortly before o'clock an other message was sent Said Kahlid no- l tifying him that the palace would be shelled at o'clock promptly if he failed to haul down his flag before that time. As before, Kahlid replied that he would die sooner than surrender.
 At 9 ooclock the flagship signalled l the Raccoon, Thrush and Sparrow and commenced firing. 4 moment later they opened with their heaviest guns and 10 minutes later they had sent a storm of shell and shot into the palace, tearing big gaps i'll it, scattering death and confusion among the defenders, dis counting some of the guns ashore. At 9 :50 the palace was tumbling in ruins and on fire and large rents had been made in the barricade of Said's follow CTS.
 The losses to the enemy is not known but must have been heavy, especially among the defenders of the palace prop l CT.
 During the bonbardment the sultan s armed steamer Glasgow opened fire on the British warships, but few well aimed shells from the warships silenced her fire i'll short order and sank her at her moorings.
 Wednesday night there were a number of disturbances among the na- tives of the town, but they were prompt ly suppressed by the British marines and sailors who had been landed to pro- tect property and guard the British con- sulate.
 It is understood Said Khalid received further endorsements from slave deal CTS who Hooked to his support, as the formal hoisting of the British flag over Zanzibar would mean hberating about 250, 900 slaves and deathblow to slavery in this rlart of aaat Afriea

inviting the contempt of the world and insaring certain defeat to the Democratic party.
 If apology were necessary for the position assumed by us, we would call the attention of the public to the letter of the Hon. W. J. Bryan. to Hon. George A. Cardon, of Dal- ias, Texas, February 28, in which Mir. Bryan said: T deny the right of convention to depart from the principles as taught by the party in the past, and then attempt to bind those who shall participate in such convention in the hope of holding the party to it's ancient position. In other words, if Democrat at tends convention for the purpose of obtaining affirmation of Dem- ocratic faith and finds that the con vention repudiates the doctrines of the party and announces an entirely new policy, he is not, in my iudg- ment, bound to support such new policy.
 We would adopt this Declaration of Independence of the acts of political conventions that betray their parties trust by declaring for nntried and dangerous departures from the time -honored and time tested principles of government; and, therefore, announce our undis- gulsed opposition to the revolution ary policies adopted by the Chicago convention in the name of Democ- racy.
 For fear that we may be mispn derstood upon the money question, we declare that We favor bimetal- .lism whenever practicable, but the experience of our own and other civilized nations, teaches that with out the cooperation of the great commercial nations of the world, there is but small hope for such a eonsummation in the near future, and until such time, in our iudg- ment, this Government cannot main tain either it's silver or paper money at par, nor continue it's stability upon any other than a gold basis.

 MT. John M. Taylor, the corpora tion lawyer, who was so active in aiding the Federal authorities to arrest number of the A. R. U. men in this city and other parts of the State during the strike several years ago, introduced the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted. Every laboring man, and particularly union labor men, should carefully read this resolution, con slider it's source, and then compare it with the platform of the true Democratic party. The comparison is sure to result in a verdict favora- ble to the Chicago platform.

MR. rAYLoR's RESOLUTION.

ole to the Chicago platform.
 MIR. TAYLOR S RESOLUTION. To the Sound Money Democrats of Jefferson
 County:
 Conceiving that the organization of the Democratic party has, by the adoption of the Chicago platform, attempted to commit the members of the party to principles that have heretofore only found expression in platforms adopted by the so-ealled Popalist party.
 That it has attacked the honor Of the Nation in the financial heresies therein proclaimed.
 That they have announced to the world that the action of the present Democratic administration in sup pressing riots and protecting prop erty and public commerce was con demned by the Democratic party: thereby committing the future pol icy of the party to the cause of anarchy when it shall be confronted with similar conditions.
 Therefore, Resolved, That believ5 ing as we do that to approve by silence such platform would be to commit political wrong and do in justice to our country and it's busi. ness interests, We hereby proclaim our disapproval of the Chicago plat form and the candidates nominated by that convention.
 We demand the privilege of being allowed to vote for Democrats who are pledged to maintain the present money standard under which our country has attained its greatness anf by which it's credit is to be maintained.
 We demand the nomination of candidate fol President who will at all times and under all circumstan- ees uphold the public welfare and National credit against the red hand of Anarchy, and the bowling clamor of Populists and Dema- gogues.
 We approve the administration of that matchless Democrat, Grover Cleveland; and declare that in the abolition of the Federal Election laws and his courageous stand for tariff reform we have seen the real ization of all that was expected of him as President, and believe that the cause of Democracy he so ably defended by his public expression, and action, was betrayed by those so-called Democrats who have now become his traducers and the be- trayers of Democratic principles.
 We condemn a convention that refuses to approve the course of the President wherein he stood for sound money and the National credit and honor; and disapproved his action in maintaining the law when the Governor Of the State of Illinois dared not act
 We fail to find words to express our disapproval of that part of the 
 Chicago platform which declares, in effect that the judges of the highest courts in the land should be ap- pointed because of their willingness to decide Constitutional questions in accordance with the demands of a political party; and pledge ourselves to use all honorable means to bring back to the councils of Democracy1 as taught by Jefferson, Jackson and Cleveland those of our fellow citi- zens who now through fear, misrep- resentation and ignorence, are adopting the methods of the Dema gogue and Populists, and thereby
