THE THREE SILVER COMMISSIONERS.
Moreton Freven Believes Each COun-
try Should Act for Itself.

Washington. April 1.-THE naming of
the three commissioners by President
Mckinley unoer the act of the last con-
gress to promote plmetaIiism has been the
subject OF considerable discussion about
the capitol. Almost without exception
the selections were commended.
Opposition to the scheme for internal
tional bimetallism has developed from an
unexpected source. Moreton Frewen of
england, who has given a great deal OF
attention to the subject. and who has
visited this country several times in the
interest of silver, is now opposing an in
ternational agreement, and declared that
the money question is one which each
nation must settle for itself. Frewen
Will oppose an agreement, and use his
influence against the new commission
when 1t goes abroad.
In the United States Senate Wolcott
anticipates little opposition to bimetal-
ism. What opposition Senator Wolcott
says there is. comes from the German
bankers of New York, who are already
fighting bimetallism and whose opposi-
ton the commission will meet when it
goes to Europe.

cuda WITH mi te liz


Havana, April ia skirmsh has taken
place between a Spanish force under Gen
eral Rey and a number of insurgents on
the road between Cauta and Guiana. The
enemy threw up a barricade consisting
of carts, ETC.. across the road ana
strengthened it with seven dynamite
bombs. When the troops attempted to
pass the insurgents fired the bombs by
electricity, but only three of them were
exploded The troops captured the posi-
tions of the insurgents, but later retreat
ed.
The Spanish gunboat Satellite, while
nearing Mayari, was fired upon by a par
ty of insurgents, who also sent out an
armed boat to engage the gunboat. For
time the firing was brisk, but the gun
boat eventually repulsed the insurgent
forces. The Spanish gunboat Sandoval,
while accommodating at OHIO Toro, was
also fired upon by the insurgents. The
gunboat returned the enemys fire, and
the insurgents were dispersed after 40
minutes fighting.
Skirmishes have also occurred at
Puerce on the beach near Pilonsi, at
Miri Zorti, and at La Magdalena. In ad-
dition a force of $50 insurgents has been
defeated at Pitajones. Eight of the en-
emy were killed.
Twenty-Five political prisoners have ar
rived here from Pinar del Rio.
In the engagements on the road be-
tween Cauto and Gaumo many insur-
gents were killed. and the troops lost Il

After killing Stickney the murderers ran

the loss will exceed this sum. as none

The robbers, after knocking StlclSney
down with a blackjack, cut his throat.
The most remarkable feature of the rob-

drawers of the big vault ana which the
robbers examined hastily, were not tan

nothing is missing except the cash.
The men made their visit to the bank
at the busiest time of the day, in the To-
cality where the bank Is situated and so
completely and thoroughly did they ac-
complish their robbery that only an un-
certain clue and a very meager descrip-
tlon was obtained.
Mrs. Swazey left her desk at
noon. The cashier, however, remained
looking over the banks accounts, and 1t

when the robbers entered. The first sus-

ON A CHARGE OF TRAIN ROBBERY
Joe True Held to Answer Before the
Federal Court.

Sacramento April 16.-In the trial Of
Joseph True. accused of train robbery In
Utah, but few witnesses were examined
by the prosecution. One of these was the
engineer of the train which True is ac-
cused of having held up at Uintah on Oc-
tober IA last.
The engineer, Daniel Rowland, said that
just before he whistled for DEVILS Gate
he heard a sound of falling coal. He
turned and saw a man with his head hid
den by a sack holding a revolver in his
hand. The man drew a white sack from
his pocket and made the fireman cover his
head with 1t. He then compelled the wit
ness to slow down and later to stop. after
which he compelled him to walk back to
the mail car with him and stand by willis
he blew it open.
Fireman Mcfarland, who was on the
engine the night of the robbery told a
similar story. He identified the prisoner
as the robber, claiming that he recog
nized him man he had known before
by his voice, size and actions.
True made no defense, and was held in
bonds of $4,000 to appear before the United
States district court. Today he was turn
ed over to the United States marshal at
San Francisco, and is now confined in
Alameda county jail.

Vicksburg. April 1S.-An official report

roaring torrent Is spreading over the

Damage to the Ship VIII Not Prevent
Her GOrnE TO Sen

Washington, April ia further report
from the captain of the Oregon, now in
dock at Bremerton, Wash, shows that
the obstruction upon which the ship set
tied when waiting to enter the dock, was
the wreckage of a temporary cofferdam
used in the construction of the dock and
forgotten in the clearing up. The dam
age to the ship. however, will not pre-
vent her from going to sea at once,
and unless the report of Constructor
Camps. who is now engaged in making
a more detailed examination of the ships
bottom from the inside. goes to show that
the injuries are more serious than appear
now, 1t Is probable no attempt will be
made at present to repair them, but the
work will be done when the Oregon again
goes into dock to be. fitted with her big
keels, some time during the summer.
New Hull Plates Ordered.
Seattle, WASH, April 16.-There Is still
some uncertainty as to the actual extent
of the damage to the battle ship Oregon
There has been some delay in pumping
the water out of the dock. and until the
dock is clear thorough examination can
