Devided as to Cuban Policy.

NEW YORK, June PA special
to the Herald from Havana says
The daily newspapers give promi-
hence to cable dispatches from
Madrid which say that several
conferences between Senior Canars
and Guzman, prominent political
leaders, have been held since Guz-
man reached Spain. 1t Is stated
that Guzmsn, at first opposed to
autonomy, at last agreed to the
governments plan, pledging the
conservative Spanish party here
to cooperate aud carry the new
measures into effect on conditions
that it be allowed to continue in
control of the bulk Of the national
patronage in the island.
Ell Paiz, a home rule organ, in
an editorial comment, says that
autonmy with autonomist leaders
will in no wise satisfy the Cuban
people.
La Union Conscionial says no
political reform should be under
taken until the revolt is finally
crushed. Military achievements
and cannon are required to do this,
it saws.

the beginning of the Cuban revolu-
ton. In vain did the minister OF
foreign affairs, the Duke de Tetusn
depreciate such retrospective
recriminations as we're calcu-
lated to harm the interests OF
Spain and her relations with
America; vainly did the leading
laborers and former ministers of
the ex-liberal party endeavor to
restrict the ardor of their orators ;
the president Of the senate him
self vainly invoked the rules Of the
house to check Senators Colas and
Jimenez. 1t was easy to see that
the latter was in touch with many
of the senators and the people In
the gallery who murmured a dis
rinct approval of the speech.

ALTGBLD's DENIAL.
Is Not scheming For Anything But a
Free Silver Platform.

SPRINGFIELD, H., June a.
There is nothing whatever Of truth
in the statement sent out from here
last night that Gov. Altgeld was
planning a coup to secure the NOM
instion of ex-Congressman r. w.
Morrison for president at the Chi
cago convention. The governor
himself said so today in a most
emphatic manner. His excel
lency furthermore denies posi-
lively that he held a secret con-
ference with Col. Morrison at
Pontiac, as stated in a dispatch
sent out from here last night.
When the governor read this dis
patch he said: "There is alb
solutely nothing in it and
there ia no foundation upon which
to base its publication. No such
interview was ever held between
myself and Col. Morrison and l
have not been schemiDg for the
nomination of any particular
candidate at the Chicago conven.
ton. What / desire most is a free
silver platform"
The report sent out last night
was probably based upon a rumor
published several months ago that
the governor and Col. Morrison
had met at Pontiac and had q long
conference regarding the ex-cong-
ressman's candidacy for the presi-
dency. This rumor gained wide
circulation but it appears never be-
fore to have been authoritatively
denied.

REPORTED SPECIALLY For The LIGHT.
The bachelor officers played q

against the married officers.
The attendance of b. Y. p. U. at
the dress parade last evening was
very large.
Colonel A. G. Bracket (retired)
is dead. At the time of his retire
ment he was Colonel Of the Third
cavalry and was stationed at Fort
Mcintosh, February 18th, 1891.
Cadet Friedrich w. Vandayne

geon's certificate. 1t didn't take
him long to ''catch on"
Lieutenant G. Byrne, Sixth in
fantry, has been relieved from
duty in the information division
of the war department, to take eff
feet August %.
Something new! Post Chaplain
Pierce is ordered for a two weeks
tour OF duty from Fort Apache to
Wingate. This looks like revival
meeting at Wingate.
"Ain't this nice?" troop G, Third
cavalry, is retiring from Concord,
N. H., where it has been since the
first of the month, and coming and
going the troop has been treated
by the citizens of both states in q
manner somewhat novel TO u
boys, who spent most of their life
time in the west. School girls
turned out, the streets were COW
cred with flowers and the girls
sang national hymns. The g. A. r.
posts along the road entertained
the boys and treated them to sup
pers, dinners and all sorts OF enter
tainments. In the west, where the
soldier has done his hardest work
he "gets 1t In the neck" from the
average citizen.
1t is rumored around the garri-
son that troops ID and K will par
ticipate in the state encampment
at Tyler.
After the last religious conven-
tion is over next week, it is
thought that the dress psrades will
be discontinued for the summer,
as there will be no necessity for
holding them. The convention, by
the way, seems to have had a very
beneficial effect on the men, who
don't drink so much beer now, but
this may be due to a lack of funds,
and the proximity OF the end OF
the month.

ALTGELD'S PROGRAM.
HE WANTS TO HOLD ILLINOIS IN
RESERVE.
Will Back Mcdonnell for President and
Take Vice-P President for Him
fHe can Get It.

CHICAGO, June 27.-The Record
today prints the following: Sena-
tor Mcconnell is to be placed in
nomination and supported for
president by the Illinois delega.
ton in the democratic national
convention. II he is not landed in
the first place on the ticket, 1t is
the intention of Gov. Altgeld and
his associate delegates to continue
the fight and secure for Mr.. McCon-
nell the vice. presidency.
The outline OF the program OF the
Illinois delegates came from the
executive mansion at Springfield.
| When the emisssries Of Bland and
| Boies worked up so much interest
at Peoria that the Illinois leaders
went to Gov. Altgeld and asked him
concerning the ACCESSIBILITY OF let
ting the two candidates have q
show in the convention, he said no,
much to the disappointment OF the
local politicians who anticipated a
lively fight between the followers
of the two free silver candidates.
The governor promised his politi-
cal followers then that II the ILL
nois delegation was left unin-
structed for a presidential candi-
date he would make it the most
conspicuous in the Chicago con-
vention. Yesterday the Altgeld
members Of the Altgeld machine
received word Of what was ex-
pected of them, and later in the
day 1t was announced that there
would be a meeting Of all the 4S
Illinois delegates at the Palmer
house, June 80. 1t is not believed
by the greater number OF free sill
yer delegates that Mr.. Mcconnell
will be named for president by the
convention. While they insist that
Governor Altgeld, with the As
votes of Illinois solid behind him
will be OF great force In the conven-
ton, they do not think that he
will able to name the candidate
| for president. They think his real
intention is to have Mr.. McCon-
nelPs name presented for presi-
| dent. Then after that nomination
has been made he will be placed
| before the convention for vice
president. So far as can be ascer-
| tanned the Illinois delegates to a
man are for Mcconnell for vice
| president. Some of those from the
southern part OF the state favor
Bland for president and many OF
the Cook county delegates favor
Boies. They will be held in line
by the unit rule. But when the
fight comes for the nomination OF
vice president it is claimed by the
democratic leaders that the 4o
votes will be working in the in
terests of Judge Mcconnell.
ALMOST all the national dele
gates will be in the city during
the meeting of the executive COM
mittee OF the democratic conven-
ton, next Tuesday. At this meet
ing it is expected Mr.. McConnelPs
name will formally be brought out
as a candidate for vice president"
