An American Citizen Said to
Have Been Summarily Sent
to Africa
By the Spanish Authorities at
Havana--PrOtested His Citi-
zenship,
But Was Only Knocked Down in
Consequence Bitter Feeling
Against Yankees.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 29.-A Special from
Key West says: Advices received
here from Havana indicate that since
the resignation of General Martinez de
Campos the Spanish authorities are
acting in q high-handed manner to-
wards American citizens suspected of
being in sympathy with the insurgents
Recently, Henry Rizo, who claims to
be q naturalized citizen Of the United
States, was arrested at Puerto Principe
as political suspect. Rizo was thrown
into dungeon, although proclaiming
his American citizenship. His request
that Consul General Williams be in
for med Of his plight was denied, and
when the last steamer left for Centa,
the Spanish penal settlement in Africa,
Rizo was placed on board. The unfor-
tunate man attempted to make scene
as he was placed on the vessel but he
was
Knocked Down by the Spanish Guards
and hurried below decks. RHO had no
trial, but it is understood the authori-
ties ordered him confined at Centa for
life. Transportation to Centa now
means death, as cholera is raging there.
Ell Commercial in an editorial says:
Marin is too tender with those Yam
KEGS. Every one of them at all impi-
Gated in the revolution should be sum-
marily dealt with. But for American
money and American sympathy there
would be no revolution, and the Yam
KEGS have no right to expect mercy.
Financiers Evidently Fearful.
Flnanciers in Havana are evidently
fearful about the outcome of the revo-
luton, for they are shipping large sums
Of silver and gold by every steamer
that leaves for New York. Upmann 8
Co., who represent the Rothschilds,
are taking the lead in these shipments.
It is understood that Upmann & Co.
have informed their depository tI1ss
money is no longer safe in Havana. Il
is reported that Upmann g. Co. are act.
ing under orders from the Rothschilds,
who have declined the new Spanish
loan on the ground that Cuba is lost to
the Madrid government.

in the room on a raised platform to

speedy repeal of the infamous and ruinous
democratic tariff, and the substitution
therefor Of one based on the principles OF

medium in gold, silver and paper; fair and
generous treatment of the union veteran;
q foreign policy characterized by sturdy
Americanism. including the assertion Of
the Monroe doctrine and the moral and
material support of the Cuban patriots:

Mckinley as presidential candidates as fol-
lows:
I'VE recognize as the most conspicuous
among such candidates New England's

Concord, n. Il, April 2--Senator
Chandler has written Senator Lodge
explaining the action of the state con-
vention in indorsing both Reed and
Mckinley, saying that the plank was a
concession of the Reed men to the Nc
Kinley sentiment. Senator Chandler
says he acqu;esced in the concession,
though he knew it to have been coward
ly, as the Reed men outnumbered the
Mckinley men. The resolution was
permitted TO 60 through to save fight
in the convention. He asserts that the
four delegates at large and the alter
mates chosen are out-and-out Reed men,
and that Mckinley will receive no IA

Madrid, April 3.-The press now
unanimously tells the Spanish people
they must be prepared for vote in the
American congress in favor of the rec
ognition of Cuban belligerency and
must consider it an expression of SYM
pathy of the American public, as well
as of congress, with the Cubans in their
fight for independence. FL Liberal, El

mails call on the Spanish government to
accept the action of the United States
congress with becoming dignity, and
never tolerate any pressure or imposi-
tion on the part of President Cleveland,
even If interference appears in the form
of friendly and diplomatic act The
papers clearly indicate that it would
be dangerous for this government to
stoop to any compromise that the ma
