A MILLION DEAL

NEW YORK, Nov. pa dispatch to
the World from Havana says:
The Worlds first figures Of Cuba's
starvation were timidiy moderate. They
showed the death Of only 100000. But
every painful fact unearthed tends to
prove them nearly double that number.
When the grim returns are all in. it is now
almost certain that this Cuban massacre
Of the innocents will reach 100000. And
this awful number does not include those
killed in battle or the thousands of
women and children who have died Of
exposure, disease and massacre in the
swamps. 1t now seems certain that more
than a million people, for the most part
loyal subjects of Spain, have been killed
by Spanish war in Cuba.
A weeks trip through the provinces of
Havana, Matanzas and Santa Clara has
tended to make moderate this tremen-
dous, extreme figure. The figures Of
Spanish officials reports slrow but part
Of the mortality. They only give the
number buried in consecrated ground
and they do not give that fully.
And yet these official ultra-Spanish
reports Of burial permits issued admit
that in the province of Santa Clara there
have died and been buried since Weyler's
fiat 71,847 persons.
The total number of people for whose
existence Weyler Is directly responsible
is 1878 in Santa Clara province. And
of these he has killed S6,216, or over one
half of them

dition that there shall be preferential
duties for Spain not exceeding IS per
cent. It is to be understood that these
preferential duties are not an unusual
feature. Even under the last reciprocity
treaty between the United States and
Cuba, which is conceded to have been
the most satisfactory reciprocity treaty
made by the United States, there was
preferential duty of so per cent to
Spain. Under the new law this is cut
down to 35 per cent.
'.That honest investigation of the new
law will show it's broad scope and liberal
provisions is shown by dispatch have
Just received from a friend at Madrid, y
continued the minister. "He states that
Mr.. Giberga has a statement in The
Liberal strongly approving the new law.
This Mr.. Giberga is one of the most
prominent autonomists of Cuba. He
was elected as an autonomist to the
cortes, but declined owing to his hostil-
ity to the former government. Lately
he has been in Paris and now gives his
strong approval of the home rule law"
BLANCO'S PLANS
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Senor .Du-
puy DeLome, the Spanish Minister, had
an interview with Assistant Secretary
Day today. 1t is the plan of Captain
General Blanco to take steps for the i'm
mediate execution Of the reform schemes
of the Madrid government, and to this
legally provisional arrangement will
be made. The Captain General will ap-
point directly full acting Cabinet and
witt, thoYio will haNa tho means FOR n
fully-equipped executive government,
which will last only until the elections
shall have resulted in the choice of a
new government. These are delayed
only, it is said, by reason of lack of
accurate figures of the population of
Cuba, which is essential in order to ap-
portion the representation in the Legis-
lature.

would like for any one in that conven-
tion to rise and tell the people how the
interests of reform can be subserved
by such proceedings as saturday wit
messed.
"What place did the resolutions Of
the St. Louis conference occupy or
what has become Of the principles
enunciated and set forth IN the Omaha
platform? have worked for at least
twenty-five years on the line Of reform
and for the best interests Of the masses
as far as l have been able and In my
weak judgement reform meant some
thing higher and nobler than simply
to get the offices for some other set Of
fellows.
"As for the men nominated have
nothing to say against any one Of them,
neither have 1 any fayorltes that
wanted nominated, only am vexed to
see men who claim to be pOpulists and
reformers lay aside their principles
and permit themselves to be made the
tools of designers whose only princi'
pie is down the republicans and get
the offices for themselves or their
friends.
"How does it look to see the party
who claims reform for its battle cry,
surrender to the resubmissionlsts Of
this county as was done last Saturday.
Is the pOpulist party to become the re-
submission psrtyY If so 1t is time to
call halt on fusion Mt the expense Of
principle. would much rather be de-
feated in an honorable fight for the

in that way than to gain few paltry

Judicial Con vention.


The judicial convention which sat in
this city last Thursday was one of the
pleasantest events which has happened
in Reno county politics for many day.
1t was called to order by Oh irman r.
j. Cannell. Mr.. Irons Of Mcpherson
county, was unanimously chosen for
chairman; Mr.. Bonner of Harvey
county was elected secretary and the
usual committees were appointed. The
convention then adjourned till after
noon, when it met and heard the usual
committee reports.
The cammittee OE permanent organ
ization reported in favor of making
Senator Fields chairman, which was
adopted.
The committee on resolutions re-
ported as follows;
FIRsT-We again renew our allie
glance to the principles advocated by
oar gallant leader, W. j. Bryan, in the
campaign Of 1896.
SECoND-We endorse the present
State administration and point with
pride to the gallant fight made by Gov.
Leedy against trusts, combines and
mOnopolists.
THIRD-We demand an honest jul
dietary and pledge the nominee Of this
convention tO an honest administration
of the laws as enacted by the people
and their representatives, and not as
dictated by the corporate wealth Of the
country.
When it came to nominating candi7
dates, only one WAS put in nomination,
MIR. Frank p. Hettinger of Hutchin-
son. He was nominated by Mr.. Irons
of Mcpherson and warmly seconded
by others of different counties. After
the nominations were closed the rules
were suspended and he was nomln ated
by reclamation.
Mr.. Hettinger was called for and
made an enthusiastic speech. He had
not sought the nomination but would
make the best fight he could. He was
in favor of making a fight for principle
and when the votes we're counted out
he thought the other fellow would find
that he had been somewhere around.
Mr.. Watson was called for and made a
short speech, stating that but for the
fact that Kansas had governor who
was determined to be governor, it
would be hardly necessary to make
any nomination for the Office Of dis
trict judge, as the federal judges would
attend to it all.
j. N. High was also called out and
made quite speech showing how the
market for silver in India had been
closed by failure in the wheat crop and
famine, so there was nothing for which
to exchange the silver, and that the
result had been the lowering of the
price Of silver and the increase in the
price Of wheat.
The mOst significant thing about the
convention was that though they had
to come considerable distance, the larg
est end by all means the most enthu-
siastic delegation was the one from
MCPHERSON county, the home of Judge
Simpson.
