DiABoLicAL PLOT FRUSTRATED.
MUtineer Plans to Murder His Captain and
Fire the Vessels Cargo of
Petroleum.

NEW YORK. n. Y, July 25.-A snn
special from Baltimore says:
The story OF a plot to murder the can
tain and set fire to the British oIl-tank
steamship Hotham Newton, which sailed
from Baltimore for Amsterdam several
days ago, was told in shipping circles here
yesterday. Tue steamer carried cargo of
petroleum. The instigator of the plot is
said to have been an English sailor who
felt aggrieved at the treatment he had re-
ceived at the hands of Captain Thomas
Anderson OF the steamer Captain An
derson discovered the plot just in time to
defeat it and put the man in irons. 1t had
been planned to kill the captain with an
iron bar as he lay asleep in his berth and
then set fire to the ship, laden with ne
troIeum, to destroy all evidence of guilt.
Owing to the fact that the vessel was
ready for sea when the plot was discoy-
cred and to have prosecuted the mutineer
would have delayed her sailing by de-
tanning her officers, the man WIS Iaken
before British Consul Coates by Cantain
Anderson and discharged without being
paid. He denied the charges. but several
of the crew testified he had revealed his
scheme to them and had tried to ind,,ce
them to assist in carrying it out Instead
of so doing they reported the matter to
the captain and the man was immediately
put under arrest and heavily manacled.

ENCOURAGING REPORTS.
Men From Various Sections Tell
How Mckinley VIII Carry the
Country,

CHICAGO, ILL, July 25.-Congressman
j. w. Babcock of Wisconsin, who is chair
man of the Republican Congressional
Committee, spent part of to-day at the
party's campaign headquarters, conferring
with Chief Heath and Committeeman
Dawes and giving them interesting in
formation.
He said that for the last month three OF
the biggest printing establishments In
Philadelphia and Baltimore had been
working their presses night and day turn
ing out millions of Congressional docu-
ments on the currency question, figures,
statistics, etc., in leaflet and pamphlet
form to meet the unprecedented demand
from all the States in the Union.
All these documents were distributed
under the Congressional franking prlvl-
lege and Congressman Babcock declared
that never had there been such demand
for public documents in campaign.
A prominent caller was Ex-Governor
Merriam of Minnesota. He said cam
paign speeches were already working his
State, which he placed in the sure Repub-
lican column by majority OF 10000
To United Press reporter he said that
| Congressman Towne, the bolting Repub-
lican from the Sixth (Duluthl District,
would run independent and that the Re-
publicans have nominated man who
would beat him on the silver issue-Judge
| Page Morris, Virginian.
Henry 7. Oxnard, the sugar-beet grower
in Nebraska, who is also interested in
the sugar-cane industry in Louisiana, was
also visitor at headquarters. He is a Re-
publican. but his brothers are Democrats.
He told Mr.. Heath that one-third of the
farming people in Nebraska were directly
interested in the beet-sugar industry, ano
that one-half of the people were affected
by the anti.sugar bounty legislation of the
last Democratic Congress. Mr.. Oxnard''
belief was that this sugar element would
control the bounty question, and would
result IN Louisiana's electoral vote being
given to Mckinley.

CHICAGO, ILL, July 25.-A special from
Key West says: Twelve of the filibusters
landed in Cuba by the steamer Three
Friends have been killed by the Span
iards, according to letters received here.
The filibusters, with the arms and ammu-
n;tion. were landed at point east of
Havana. A small band of insurgents was
in waiting and took the arms into the
mountains. The filibusters, of whom
there were nearly 100, were told to wait a
few hours and guides would be sent to
conduct them to the insurgent camp.
While waiting they were discovered by
a Spanish column. The flibusters fed
into the forests and for four days were
without food. On the fifth day, after
some had died of heat and exhaustion
thev met some insurgent scouts, who un-
dertook TO guide them to place of safety.
Soon after meeting the scouts they ran
into Spanish column and were shot to
death.
Gabriel Officiall and Louis Paroll of Key
West and John Floyd of Columbus, Ga,
and Pearce Atkinson, who is related to q
Jacksonville family. were among the
killed. OfficialI, Floyd and Atkinson were
young Americans. Atkinson, it is said,
has relatives in Illinois. The names of
the other eight men killed have not been
heard.
The other members of the expedition
e,uded the Spaniards and after great suffer
ing reached an insurgent camp.

To the american People: Inasmuch as it has
been charged upon the National Silver party
assembled in st. Louis that we are conven.
ton of repudiators revolutionists and an
srchists we submit the following TO the candid
judgment OF the people:
In our delegations are veterans of oul
Mexican War, 40 ex-Confederates and
1876 Union army veterans OF the late war. OF
the 731 delegates attending are Prohibition
lists, 49 are Populists, 146 are Democrats and
526 are Republicans
Under this composition of the convention
we appeal to all true patriots, without regard
to previous party affiliations, to vote for Hon
william ]. Bryan for President and Hon
Arthur sewall for Vice-President of the United
States. A result of their election will be the
restoration of the free coinage of silver on
equal terms with gold, providing thereby q
volume of money which will tend to dissent.
nate rather than to aggregate wealth, which
will relieve the present profound depression
and replace 1t with wide prosperity.
We urge you to unite upon this ticket as
your sole hope of escape from the rigors of g
grinding of g gold monopoly.
Ours is poor mans campaign. We there
fore call for contributions toward legitimate

The total number of officials of banks,

bankers and boxers is not one half OF

Tho gold standard by enforcing low
prices. and high purchasing power OF

minority wants to keep the present low
prices in force by retaining the 200 cent
gold dollar as the only standard OF meas

protection are able to get together
when both recognize that the money
question is superior to the tarin Ques-
ton. A Populist leader in this state
we'll expressed the idea, when he said
that, while he believed in Populist doc
trines, yet he was willing to lay some
Of them aside until he could get 9TH
ers. For instance, he said, while he
believed in the government ownership
of railroads, he did not want the gov
ernment to own the railroads as long
as the Rothschilds owned the govern
ment."
But we are notified that we cannot
maintain the parity because Mexico
cannot. Livery man who thinks that
this nation is no greater than Mexico
ought to vote the Republican ticket. 1t
is the only place that he will feel at
home. [Applause.] This nation can
do what Mexico cannot do. This ma
ton can create demand for silver ten
times as great as any demand that can
be Grated in Mexico, and if there is
Republican who still doubts that this
nation is greater than Mexico let him
remember that the United States and
Mexico together may be able to do
what Mexico cannot do alone"
I'VE apply the law Of supply and de-
mand to money. We say that the
value Of dollar depends on the num-
ber Of dollars and that you can raise
the value of dollar by making the
dollars scarce, and we charge that our
opponents are in favor Of making the
money scarce because they are con-
trolled by those who want money dear
If you are in favor of dear money you
ought to vote the Republican ticket. II
you are in favor of making money the
only thing which is desirable to own
and making property the thing that
everybody wants to get rid Of, you
want to vote the Republican ticket. be-

to continue the present financial sys-
tenn, the object Of which IL to make it
more profitable to hoard money and
