New York, May 11.-Before a month

executive in the presidential chair. and it
will be Dir. Eusevic Hernandez. The cleo.

DR.. Hernandez, it is expected, will in
troduce many new features In the civil
government of Cuba. He has many ideas
at variance with those of the present chief
executive, President Cisneros. He. is
unalterably opposed to annexation with
the United States, believing with polit-
ical freedom the island can become the
commercial queen of the West Indias.
He is also likely to introduce numberless
reforms.
The term of Office of President Cisneros
expires on May %, when there will be a
gathering of the military and ciYil lead
ers. The election of the new executive
will be entrusted to two deputies from
each of the ten provinces. There is only
one candidate opposed to DR.. Hernandez,
and that is General Masso. President
Cisneros will retire because of his adj

OHIO AND KENTUCKY.

Campaign matters are we'll advanced in
Ohio. The silver Democrats there have
thrown down the gauge of battle The
party platform is to declare for free sill
YER and nothing else. The issue therefore
will be even more sharply drawn than it
was last year.
John r. Mclean will direct the fight,
and in case of success will be rewarded
with the seat in the Senate now occupied
by Mr.. Hanna. But success must be
achieved without the aid Of men like Mr..
Brice and Mr.. johnson. They can no
more support free silver this year than
last, and especially as the bringing for
ward OF the issue again this year will
make it the dominant issue of the party
for next year and for 1900.
a similar situation exists in kentucky.
The Bryan men there will listen to no
compromise as to silver. The gold Dem
ocrats must surrender absolutely or GO
over again to the Republicans. The Dem.
ocratic State convention will declare for
silver. State issues will also he subordi
mated.
Mr.. Mclean and Mr.. Blackburn will
have comparatively easy sailing so far as
che conventions and the selecting of can
didates are concerned. Both have been
silver men from the start, and have gath
