Republican Gains I'm Kansas.

Topeka, Nov. 4.-The indications are
that the republicans have elected eight
of the ID district judges voted for. In
complete and unofficial returns from 90
of the los counties of the state would
indicate republican victories in almost
half the county elections. These re-
turns show that in 40 counties the repub-
licans have elected all or nearly all their
candidates for county officers. In IA
counties the fusionists have elected all Oh
nearly all of their candidates. In 26 coun-
ties the offices are about evenly divided
between the fusionists and the republi-
cans. In one county a straight demo-
cratic ticket was elected. In Barber coun-
ty, the home of Jerry Simpson, the repub,
licans scored a clean sweep.

BLANCO STRIKES A FROST.
All Parties are Disguised With His
Policy Already.

Havana, via Key West, Fla, Nov. 4.
Marshal BlancO's reception has been
is due to the great dissatisfaction
caused by his prOclamatiOns. They
have disgusted all parties. A former
director of the board of the autonomist
party said today to a correspondent of
the Associated Press:
I'VE sincerely hoped that we would
have autonomy, but ROW We feel that
we are not to have it. Blanco's policy
of amalgamating all political parties
will not result as he expects. He is
afraid to put only Autonomists in Of
fee and we refuse to side with conser-
Vat1VeS and the military elements. We
will have only a semi which
will serve to increase the general dis
satisfaction. By insulting US in his
proclamations Marshal Blanco has
placed all talk of surrender on our part
out of the question
There is no public sentiment in favor
of Blanco's policy. Everybody is dis
satisfied and annexation seems to be
the only solution of the problem.
The Conservatives charge the gov
ernment with placing the rule of the
island in the hands of autonomists and
ex-rebels and predict that there will
be a return to Weyler'S policy when the
government is convinced that autOno-
my is a failure. The refOrmiStS are
diSguSted at not being recognized by
BlancO, in spite of having supported
the policy he represents. Finally, all
sympathisers with the insurgents open
ly declare that they will refuse any
and all Overtures from the government.
Ell Diario de Ia Marina in a leading
editorial attacks General Weyler for
having refused to resign and charges
him with having melted public sentf-
ment in his favor and with having so
licited that the political parties should
demand his retention here.
Ell Diario also violently assails Han
mis- Taylor, former United States min
ister to Spain saying: Mr.. Taylor,
chagrined by his removal from office,
now insults Spain through the press,
although he had always received cour-
teous treatment at her hand and all
ways professed to be her friend.'

New York, Nov 4-The Journal and
Advertiser says:
OF the forty-tWO persons who landed
with General MaceO, near BaracOa, Gu
ba, nearly two and a half years ago,
only three survive; the others, includ-
ing General Maceo, have died either on
the battle fields or in the hospitals or
in prisons in Cuba.
Two of the survivors are young
Americans-Frank Agramonte and Ju-
ho Sainz. Word has been received in
this city that through the efforts of Dr.
Pulaski Myatt, United States consul
at Santiago de Cuba, they have been
released from Castle Moro, and will
sail for New York on next Saturday
Frank Agramonte is the son of Prof
Emilio AgramOnte, of this city. His
family is one of means, so that the bur
den of his imprisonment has been
fghtened through their efforts. Sainz
is an orphan and DR.. Hyatt has pro-
vided him with food and comforts out
of the $500 900 fund appropria ted by con-
gress for the relief of Americans in
Cuba.
The young men, both about "a years
Old, sailed with MaceO. The party
was intercepted near Baracoa. In the
skirmish ten soldiers and a Spanish
officer were killed. Agramonte and

where a tract of 200 acres of fertile
land had been secured. The nearest rail-
road station was four miles away and
the nearest town was Momence, ten
miles distant. On the farm a little
group of cottages, cheap and somewhat
hastily built was constructed, and then
