CUBAN AFFAIRS
Smallpox Said to Be Decimating the Rebs
Ranks

LENOX. Mass, Sept. 4.-The Spanish
minister is in receipt of an official letter
from the surgeon-general of the Spanish
army in Cuba declining an offer of vac
cine virus as all the troops have been re-
vaccinated. Smayypox does not prevail
among the soldiers, but among the people
of small towns and hamlets in the interior.
The surgeon-general states that smallpox
is decimating the rebel ranks.
The government of Cuba is sending vac
cine virus to inteAor towns. During the
epidemic of 1867 the city of Santiago de
Cuba lost over 5000 by smallpox, nearly all
colored people.

SILVER REPUBLICANS.

dress.
Senator Teller and six Of his associates who
left the national Republican convention have
made public the following address to the sill
yer Republicans OF the country, setting forth
their views ofthe situation
We deem IL fltting that we. who have
heretofore affiliated with tho National Re-
publican party, and who have rejected tho
financial plank of the platform adopted at
st. Louis and refused to support tho nomi-
nees ofthe convention. should state our po-
sition in the present cimpaign and give
briefly our reason in support thereof.
"When certain delegates to the National
Republican Convention repudiated the Ma
tional financial plank Of the platform and
withdrew from the convention we Determined
that wo would give our support to such can
didates as should appear most willing and
capable in aiding in the restoration Of silver
to its riChttul place as standard money.
"Thc Democratic party in its Chicago con-
vention has taken a position in It's platform
so pronouncedly favorable to silver, and has
nominated candidates Of such unusual, un-
qCestionaSlc convictions in favor of the bi
metallic policy and Of such high personal
character. that We have determined to give
them our support because they represent the
great principle of the bimetallists which wo
believe to Nc the c&',se of humanity and civ
iliza;ion and tho paramount question now
before the American people.
I'VE therefore announces that VIC snail, ny
voice and vote. support Mcssrs. Bryan and
Scwall for President and Nice-Prcsidvnt. and
we appeal to all citizens, and especially TO
Republicans. who feel rs we do that gold
monomctallism would bc OF lasting injury to
the country, 10 act with Us in securing their
election.
After arguing the gold standard and its
evils. setting forth the virtues Of Mr.. Bryan,
the address concludes rs follows:
"PrOfoundly impressed with the i,Epor-
tancc of the issues Of this campaign, for our
selves ana our associates. We respectfully

be silver or gold or greenbacks.

TO THE DEMOCRACY.
A Most Appropriate Address TO the Dem
oeratIe Hosts Of the Indian Ter
ritOry.- Time For Action.

A committee of four was appointed

dress to the Democracy of the Indian
Territory. 1t is an eloquent appeal
to the boys to rally their full strength
and is as follows:
To the Democrats of the Indian Ter
ritory:
The executive committee of the
Democracy of the Indian Territory,
pursuant to a call of the chairman
thereof, met at South McAlester, /.
t., on February 18th, for the pur-
pose of selecting the time and place
of holding the Democratic territori-
torial convention, and fixing the ba-
sis of representation therein.
AS result of the meeting, it was
determined that the conve ntion shall
be held in the city of Vinita, Chero-
kee Nation, on Tuesday June ., 1SeG.
The basis of representation agreed
upon, is as follows;
That the convention shall be con-
stituted of regular accredited dele
gates from Democratic clubs of the
Indian Territory, and the basis of
representation for such clubs shall
be one vote for each 80 bona fide
members or majoriey fraction OF 90.
The purpose of the convention
will be to elect six delegates and six
alternates to represent the Indian
/ Territory in the National Democrat
ic convention, to be held in Chicago,
on the 9Th day of July, 1896, for the
nomination of Democratic national
candidates; also, for the purpose OF
1 selecting a Territorial Democratic
executive committee and a National
committeeman, for enunciatiug a
party platform and TO transact such
other business as may be expedient
for the perpetuity of the party in the
Indian Territory.
We, therefore, respectfully urge
upon the Democrats of the Indian
Territory to at once proceed TO the
initial steps of the organization in
their respective neighborhoods OF
Democratic clubs, with a view 10
complete organizations of the party
in the Indian Territory and that the
territorial convention may be in ev-
cry respect Il representative one.
