WENT AS A CORRESPONDENT
Melton, the Young American Captur-
ed by the Spanish

A special from Jacksonville. Fla, to the
New York World says:
Orna Melton. one of the men sentenced
to death in Havana for his connection
with the Competitor expedition, is well
known in Key West, where he Taught
school last fall and winter. The Cubans
there now regard him as a great hero.
and they are anxiously awaiting news OF
his fate. He won many friends by his
quiet demeanor
Melton is of medium stature with good
features, a fair complexion and a slight
mustache. While a fluent talker. he is
inclined to be reticent at times. His father,
ID. W. Melton, was a lieutenant in the
confederate army.
The young man Che is only twenty-thres
years old is a college graduate. Before
coming TO Florida he taught school in
Arkansas. While in Key West he acted as
correspondent for several western news
papers.
Being OF an adventurous disposition.
when the Cuban war broke out he de-
termined to go to the island and furnish
news for several American papers His
object was to get inside the iDsurEeut
lines, so as TO be able to report the ac-
tual situation. He came through this city
about eight months ago and saw the edi-
tor of one of the city papers here in refer
ence to the matter. No arrangements were
made then, and young Melton went to Key
West, where he remained until he left for
Cuba on the Competitor.
At Key West Melton met the corre-
spondent Of a Jacksonville paper and an
arrangement was made whereby Melton
was TO go to Cuba and furnish news from
inside the insurEent lines. lie was pro-
vided with the customary credentials II
was especially understood that he went as
non-combatant for the sole purpose of
furnishing news. He stipulated that a GER
tain amount of his salary should Ice for
warded each month to his father at Aurora
Ark. In view of this the Spanish claim
that Melton was taken with arms in hand
seems incredible

CONVENTION DECLARES FOR MKINLEY
Nearly an AILNight Session at
St. Joseph.
CURRENT POLITICAL MATTERS

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, May BIN last nights
the Filley men had things their own way
The temporary organization was made
permanent and the only disappointment
which the Filley men met was the losing of
ore of the state committeeman at-large.
The Craftsmanship of the state central COM
mittee was awarded to Mr.. Filiey by ac-
clamation. and, to crown his victory at 30
national convention. The report of the
platform committee was adopted without
debate.
Not until 4:30 this morning did the con-
vention adjourn, after resolving in favor of
Mckinley, in favor Of sound money and
electing four delegates at-large to the ma
tional convention.
The convention was in some respects the
noisiest and most troublesome ever held in
the state but at its close Chauncey i. FiIley
of st. Louis still held the reins. The dele
gatcs-at-large are: Chauncey l. Filley Of
ST. Louis, ex-Congressman F. G. Nieden-
ringhaus of st. Louis, Mai. VIM. Warner of
Kansas City and ]. H. Bothemel of SedaIia
Alternates Byrd Duncan of Butler county
Charles +. Gallen kamp of Franklin, II. X.
Williams of Greene, Charles p. Covington
of Pike.
Maj. Warner withdrew his name, but was
elected as the last delegate chosen.
The convention reelected Chauncey L
Filley as chairman Of the state central COM
mittee and passed a resolution favoring him
as member of the nAtiO lal republican COM
mlttee, to succeed r. c. Kerens, who was
turned down" by the delegates.

has closed the markets of many foreign
countries to a large portion of American
products
We are firm and emphatic in our demand
for honest money. We believe that our
money should not be inferior to the money
Of the most enlightened nations of the
earth. We are unalterably opposed TO any
scheme that threatens to debase or depre
ciate our currency. We favor the use of
silver as currency, but to the extent only
and under such regulations that its parity
with the present gold standard can be
maintained, and, in consequence, we are
opposed to the free. unlimited, and indie
pendent coinage of silver at a ratio of 16
to l.
We despise the present administration for
its hostility to the interests of the Union
soldier, and we pledge anew to the veterans
Of the republic watchful care and recogni-
ton in their just claim upon a grateful
people.
We recognize William Mckinley. as the
champion of the doctrine of protection, a
gallant soldier an able statesman, and a
true and loyal American, and the delegates
elected by this convention are directed TO
cast their votes for the nomination of Will
lam Mckinley for President of the United
States

BOUGHT A STEAMER.
City of Richmond May BE Used for
FiIibustcring.

A report is current among the steamboat
men along the river front that the steamer
City of Richmond, which last year ran be-
tween this city and Colonial Beach, has
been purchased by parties interested in the
Cuban cause, and is being fitted up at Bal
timore for the purpose Of carrying arms
and ammunition to the Cuban insurgents.
The sale Of the City of Richmond was, II
is stated, consummated in Baltimore Friday
last, when her former owner. Mr. b. r.
Mahane of New London, Conn.,, received
from a man who gave his name as Har-
man, and his residence Florida, $4,000 in
cash for her.
The price is regarded here. as an excel
lent one, as the City of. Richmond is a very
old boat. She is a side-wheeler. 227 feet
long 81 feet beam, and draws seven feet of
water. Mr.. Hartman stated it is said, that
1t was his intention to use the steamer as
an excursion boat in Florida waters. but
some of those who assisted in taking her
around to Baltimore said that the common
report was that she was to be used to ad-
vance the Cuban cause.
The City of Richmond is being repaired
without regard to expense by one of the
leading ship-building firms of Baltimore
and equipped with every modern improve
ment. including electric lighting. etc, but
some old riNermen today told Star reporter
that, in their opinion, no matter what is
expended on her, she will never be able
to get down to Florida or Cuba, as her
style of construction precludes the idea of
her outriding the troubles which are Of con-
slant recurrence along the southern part of
the Atlantic coast

A BOLT IN DELAWARE.
Two Sets Of Delegates to ST. Louis
Chosen.

ShOSen.
In the afternoon the Higgins men bolted
the republican convention at Dover, Del,
and held separate one in the state house,
with Hastings presiding. The following
delegates to st. Louis were chosen: An
thony Higgins. John Pilling, Hiram Reedy,
DR.. Paris T. Carlisle, Cornelius P. Swain
and George H. Hall. They were instructed
for Mckinley.
The regular convention selected J. Ed
ward Addicks, d. F. Stewart J. Frank
Allen. DR.. Hiram r. Burton and DIR. Caleb
r. Layton.
The fight between the factions was pre-
cipitated by a motion for the chair to ap-
point the committee on credentials, as re-
ported in The Star.
After the recess the turmoil was contin-
uned. and the break came when the COM
1nittee on credentials reported in favor of
unseating several higgins delegates from
Wilmington. The Higgins men protested in
vain, and then left the convention.
The Addicks men applied the unit rule to
before them.
The Addicks delegates were uninstructed.
The platform adopted declares loyalty for
the principles of the republican party; Cp-
poses free silver and condemns 1.-The demo-
cratic conspiracy in this state, which de-

MONTANA REPUBLICANS.
The Convention Endorsed the States

The Convention Endorsed the States
Representatives in Washington.
The Montana republican convention was
held at Butte Monday. The only contest
was between the old line republicans and
the A. P. A., the latter making fight
against the Endorsement of Senators Man
tie and Carter and Representative Hart
man, because of their views on the Indian
appropriation bill. The test vote came OH
a motion to seat a contesting anita. p. A.
delegation from Granite county, and the
APA were defeated by a vote Of 1877 to
104.
Resolutions were then adopted commend
ing the action Of Senators Teller, Dubois
Cannon, Mantle and Carter on the silver
question: and demanding the restora ton
Of silv ar to its ancient money function as
a means of equalizing the difference in
exchange, and the re-eStablihsment of the
protective tariff policy as a necessary
means of equalizing the difference in wages
and the cost of living"
Bimetallism, protection and reciprocity
were declared the three cardinal prin-
ciples of republican faith, and a declara-
ton was made for the free and unlimit ed
coinage of both gold and silver at a ratio
of 16 to Independently by the United
States. The democratic administration was
denounced for it's efforts to foist upon the
country its twin factors of cheapness-free
trade and the gold standard, and for dis
honoring the nations flag in Hawaii refus-
Ing to recognize Cuba and increasing the
national debt
An effort was made to instruct the ma
tional delegates to walk out of the St Louis
convention in case free silver was not rec
ognized, but the effort failed McKinley's
name was coldly received

vention were selected: Senator Lee Mantle.
