wanted it 10 pay taxes with; that 20
years ago his taxes were $50 year

Iowa Conceded by the Enemy.

The Republicans have been claim
ing Iowa by all sorts of maiori.ies as
sure for Mckinley. Chairman Jones
OF the Democratic national commit
tee, in his estimate. submitted to the
country yesterday through the press,
gives the electoral vote of the State
to Bryan by 10000 majority.
Mr. James Creelman, the New
York Worlds correspondent, who is
regarded as one Of the most pains
taking and accurate writers IL the
newspaper profession, has spent
much time in Iowa, both before and
since the great political parties made
their nominations The result Of his
observations, which should be free
from Democratic bias, since they are
printed in paper that bolted the
Chicago platform, and is doing all it
can IN its editorial columns to aid in
influencing it's readers to vote against
Mr.. Bryan, substantiate Chairman
Jones fgules.
Writing from Des Moires, some
days ago, Mr.. Creelman said he had
bad access to the returns from pre-
liminary poll of Iowa, made under
the direction of the republican state
committee, and that it showed, in
two thirds of the districts canvassed,
republican bolt of 10000.
The democratic detection to offset
this was only 10000, and this was a
liberal estimate.
The 80 900 populist votes in the
State must, of course, be reckoned
in favor of Bryan. The Worlds cor
respondent summarizes his estimate
of democratic victory 10 Iowa this
fall in the following convincing
fashion:
Last year the democratic anc
populist vote amounted to $4,000
and this year it is absolutely unitec
and will be increased. The republi
can vote was 20S,O00. This would
leave a republican majority of 27,O0(
to be overcome.
"The prohibition vote will be
about 10000 this year, and at least
1000 will go to Bryan.
II am willing to concedc that tbs
boiling democrats will number II.
600, and that 1000 Of them may vote
for Mckinley direct.
"Bnt take the 10000 boilers from
the republican party and add then
to the united strength of the demo
Gratis and populists and what chance
has Mckinley got to win?'
This estimate of the Worlds cor
respondent gives Iowa to Bryan by
27,O0O majority, and is only 5000
short of the figure given out by
Chairman Jones Kansas City Times

During all of Grover Cleveland's

THE LAURADA'S COURSE.
1t Is Thought That tho Failure TO I.ane
in Cuba is Due to the Mercedes.

Philadelphia. May 1O.-From infor-
nation received here tonight it Is like
ly that the alleged fllibustering steam
snip Laurada took out a cargo of arms
and ammunition and a party of men
aboard off Astoria, Long Island. After
outwitting the Spanish spies in New
York bay last night, the Laurada
slipped up the Long Island sound and
hove to off Astoria. Here. it is said,
three tugs put aboard of the steamship
early this morning 500 tons of arms and
l.5OO tons of ammunition. Besides
these munitions of war; sixty men went
aboard of the Laurada. These men are
under the leadership of General S. Ruiz,
Il leader of the former Cuban war.
After taking the cargo aboard the Lau-
rada bore away in an easterly direction.
From what was learned here tonight it
is more than likely that the Spanish
gunbOat Mercedes which chased the
steamship Hermuda, prevented that
vessel from landing the expedition
which she sailed with from Jacksonville
on April 26.
"A cablegram was received here to-
night from TruXillo, Honduras, to the
effect that the Bermuda left there this
morning. While at Truxillo 1t was no.
ticed that the Bermuda was still deeply
laden and her decks We're crowded with
men. 1t is thought that after the fail
ure to land the cargo and men in Cuba,
owing to the vigilance of the Mercedes.
the vessel went to TruXillo to receive
further orders from the Cubans' Junta
in New York. as there is direct cable
communication between the two places.
Possibly when the Bermuda sailed from
TruXillo this morning she headed for
Cuba and a second attempt to make a
landing will, in all likelihood. be made.
