Captain Brown, Her New Owner Cannot
Secure Register for Her From the
British GOvsrnment.
The steamer Bermuds, one Of the ves-
sells charged by the Spanish consul with
having been engaged In carrying arms
and ammunition to the CubsnH, Is still
without q register, the British consul
refusing to give her one, as he Is afraid
she will get the government of the Qoeeu
into international troubles Then again
the sale to Captain James Brown Is not
looked on as a legitimate one by the
British Board of Trade, as It Is claimed
that he WAS interested in landing material
for the insurgents In the Cuban war ten
years ago The u nited States Govern
ment has granted tbe Bermuda permits
sion to clear from Baltimore for New
York. where 1t is claimed she can get a
new register.
Bermuda will sail away under a provis
ional register as an undocumented vessel
owned by q citizen of the United States.
In that event she would be required TO
fle bond not to carry cargoes, or even
passengers except exclusively for
pleasure.

rived at this port last night from Guam

That the pops Of Custer county are on
the eve of an uprising, and that they
are to carry the war right into the very
heart of Egypt is fairly indicated by the
following taken from recent communi-
cation from the chairman Of the Custer
county contral committee to the Edge
mont Advocate: "Bros. Harper and
Meredith have been over part of the
county, and arrangements are made for
holding rousing populist meetings at
Buffalo Gap, Hermosa, Custer and other
points in the county. Our county will
soon be we'll organized, we'll supplied
with literature. with a rafting good
papsr-ons that will advocate our prin-
ciple in forcible and convincing man
ner. When Bros. Harper and Meredith,
with their co-laborsrs, get through We
will take old Custer county by storm.
Our people are enthusiastic over Bro
Meredith, both as q speaker and or
ganizer, and will always accord him q

More than two million dollars in gold
has been withdrawn from the U. s.
treasury during tho week with strong
probability of the carly withdrawal of
two or three million more. The gold
reserve fund is thus being gradually
reduced as the days multiply. and the
inevitable result may be readily and
conclusively foretold. The drain will
be, 1t cannot be otherwise than continu-
Gus until the fund has been reduced to
a point below the limit, that will make
another bond issue imperative, and add
at least another hundred million to
swell the nations liabilities, and COM
plste the record of an administration
marked by a degree of incompetency
that has never been approached in the
history of the civilized nations Of the

Of holding a national convention, ex-

Senator Tillman's description OF
populism is as laconic as it is expressive.
He says it is simply the explosion of
wrath. Now the question arises as TO
which of the existing political parties
he will train with in the event of his
forsaking the democrats, as he says he
will if they do not declare for free sill
yer in the Chicago convention. Being
South Carelinsn it could scarcely be
expected that he would unite with the
republicans, and 1T would not be SUR
prising If he should in his desperate
extremity, join the pops where the best
facilities are offered for the explosion
of his pent up wrath.

The situet,on at Cripple Greek.

B. II. Van Zandt. who recently re-
turned to Deadwood from Cripple Creek,
Colorado, thus describes the present sit
uation in that unfortunate over doomed
city:
The late confiagrations were awful
in the extreme and il is difficult to de-
scribe the devastation left by the angry
flames and the suffering, particularly
among wsmen and children. 1t is the
generally accepted theory that the man
who was running the Portland hotel,
where tine second fire started. set the
house on fire to get the insurance.
There was strong talk Of lynching and,
upon the advice of friends. he vamoosed
the camp and has not been heard Of
since. The insurance companies have
