every movement was watched by
agents of the Spanish government. He
knew this, and lis a last resort, he
separated from his son Justa and gave
the formation of the expedition into his
hands. The Spanish governments
agents paid no attention to young Gar.
cha, and he succeeded so well that SIX
days ago the steamer Jasof, belong
ing to a fruit firm, sailed out Of New

number of Cubans, over $4,000 rounds

ton is near the boundary line of the
province of Pinar del Rio.

convince the committee that the price

The officers are very indignant because
OF their inability TO secure satisfactory
rates for Minneapolis.
Chicago, ST. Louis, Cincinnati and In
dianapoliS are already in the field to Sc
cure the convention, with the odds ap-
pareG;ly in favor of indianapolis, in the
event satisfactory rates cannot be Sc
cured for Minneapolis
The Western Traffic association will
meet III Chicago next Tuesday to con-
slider rates for the G. a. r. encampment
at St Paul, and it is thought that the
question of rates for the Knights of
Pythias viii be reconsidered at the same
time.

Mckinley also carried his own county,

In the comparison of the vote with

Ohio made unprecedented gains for Nc
Kinley. In 1892 Harrison carried Ohio
by an average plurality Of Republican
electors of 1912. The Republicans have
had phenomenally large pluralities in
Ohio the past three years, commencing
with McKinley's reelection as governor
in 1898, while in 1892 the result was
very close. The largest plurality ever
given a Republican presidential ticket
in Ohio was "a, 900 for Garfield in 1880.
