soon after his incarceration he bribed
a guard to report his case to the Amer
lean consul, paying 800 $50 to be PAID on
receiving information that the case had
been reported. On March 70 the guard
handed him a piece Of Spanish neWSpa-
uer from which he learned that the case
mad been reported.
Digert says that during the time he
was confined IN prison he was kept in a
room about lG by IS feet. Thirty-two 9TH
or prisoners were in the same room.
The drinking water was awful and kept
him sick 4 great deal of the time The
food was very scarce and of decidedly
poor quality.
Digert Is a miner from Idaho and was
simply out to see the south during the
winter months, when he could not work.
After he arrived in this city he decided
he would see something of the tropics and
concluded to go TO Cuba, and did not c2re
to experience the delay necessary to Set
a passport He will lay the case before
the state department and ask that action
be taken at once in damages against the
Spanish government.

DISCORD IN THE CAMP.
PopulIsts Divided Over the Question
of Permanent Chairman.

va - ShaA lhhh.
st. Louis, July 23.-The slow progress
made by the Peoples party SO far is exciting
the ire of some OF the Populists. Jerry
Simpson last night denounced the officers
OF the convention as "a lot of imbeciies." Z"
Charges are made that the failure to light
the hail last night was plot against the
''middie-of-the-road'' men, and wa asdesigned
in part to stiut Off Mrs Lease, who was to
have delivered one OF her characteristic
haransues against the indorsing of the ac-
ton of the Democratic convention at Chi
cago. fFI
II is regarded as significant that twenty
five minutes after Chairman Butler had ad-
journed the convention the lights were
turned on. The secretary of the St Louis
Business Mems League, who has the con-
vention arrangements in charge, however,
assumes all the responsibility for the mis-
hap. and says it was entirely accidental,
andeXpressesi,is regret at the occurrence
The Bryan and anti Bryan forces seem to
be distinctly aligned behind rival candi-
dates for permanent ,s,airman, the Bryan
men favoring Senator Allen OF Nebraska,
and the anti Bryan, or the middle. o f-the
road men" supporting Ignatius DonneIly
OF Minnesota. Each side claims to have a
clear majority of the convention.
The stand taken by the middle -of-the-
road men" recalls Senator Hills speech at
Chicago, in which he said: IT tell you that
nomatter who yourcandidate will be in this
convention, with possibly one exception,
your Populistic friends, upon whom you are
relying for support, will nominate their
own ticket and your silver forces will be
divided. Mark the prediction which I
make"

pires. Senator Allen, of Nebraska. who
lis the choice of the Bryan men, dislikes to

Ter, aud feels tlut it would be violation
of Senatorial courtesy to allow the use
of his name in that Connection.
= sEx-Congressrnan Jerry Simpson of KAN
sas and Lafe Pence of Colorado are the
moving spirits in the opposition to Butler.
Pence stated to United Press reporter
that IL Allen would not accept the per-
manent craftsmanship, he would push Simp-
ison for the place.
Simpson says that as soon as the commit
tee on organizat ton is appointed and re-
ports. he does not think their report will be
delayed more than two hours in view of
the Importance of getting the work OF the
convention under way. The fun will begin
with hot fight on Butler, and that the
latter will be thrown over.
The committee on permanent organ
ization will consider these names: Sem
ator Allen Of Nebraska, Ignatius Donnelly
OF Minnesota, and Mr.. Champion e Maine.
Allen will represent the straight-out BRYAN
element, while Messrs. Donnelly and Cham
