The Only Genuine One.

The States would now seem to
be the only really Democratic pa
per in the Crescent City, and Ma
ior I'll. j. Hearsey, its able and adj
mirable editor, deserves credit for
standing out as nobly as he is do
ing for the true principles OF 81
mon-pure, unadulterated Demo-
crazy. The other papers are boos-
ting up Senator McEnery, who
really deserted the party on one
of its cardinal principles and cast
his lot with the opposition and
commenting his course to the
fullest extent Of their ability,
which they know full we'll is in
| contravention Of true Democratic
teachings. Major Hearsey, how
ever, is applying the lash to the
Senator just as he should do, and
is showing wherein he has betray-
ed his party.
! Unfortunately for Louisiana we
have too many interests here
| While there are some sections OF
the Southern part of the State
that think protection is a goot
thing, North Louisiana has moth
ing to be protected, and conse
quently does not want protection
! This is calculated to bring OIL
, more or less of clash, but il
view of the fact that the State i
Democratic, aDd that ex-GovernO
McEnery was elected as Demo
cratic Senator, he should hav
stood up to the teachings of hi
: party ON tariff matters. We hop
3 the States will keep up it's fight
. In the contest it will have the sup
, port of all the true Democrats g
the State, and will be regarded b
s them in the course of a very shol
2 time as the only exponent of any
Q thing like genuine Democracy j

TWENTY ROUND FIGHT.
The Daly-COnneIIy "MiII" Declared a
Draw by the Referee.

NEW YORK, June AT the Broadway
Athletic Club tonight Jack Daily, of VIII
mington, and Eddie Connolly of ST. John
n. B., fought twenty rounds at 135 pounds
After a clever exhibition, in which DAILY
was mostly on the aggressive, the referee
Samuel Austin, decided the bout a draw
Neither man showed anything like cham
pionship form, and Connolly did not ap-
pear to be as clever as when he met George
Lavigne in the same ring a short time ago
Connellys seconds were Joe Choynski
Jimmy Kelly, Tim Magrath and Tom Lam
sing Days handlers were Jack Fogarty
Denny Halleran, Jim Howard and Charley
McGuinness.
The first three rounds were pretty warm
Both men landed freely. but it was evident
that Daily was groggy at the end of the
third In the fourth Eddie rushed DAILY to
the ropes and there was a hard exchange
of short blows. Connolly forced the fight
ing in the sixth and finally pushed his man
to the ropes. DAILY kept up his favorite chop
blow and repeatedly landed on his op-
ponents head. There were frequent clinch-
es. In the ninth round Dalys swing opened
cash over Connelly's left eye. DAILY fell
Connolly lodged, but jumped up quickly
In the tenth round Connolly rushed DAILY to
the ropes. DAILY slipped to the floor, where.
he rolled over three or four times This
style OF quick lighting was kept up during
the remaining rounds, Connolly repeatedly
ing no decided advantage. When they came
up for the twentieth round Daily was tired
and, after a little light fighting the bout
was declared draw

MITCHELL'S VICTIM.
Mrs. Gaumer the Widow of Demo
cratic Newspaper Editor.

cratic Newspaper Editor.
URBANA, o., June 4.-Charles (Clich)
Mitchells victim was Mrs. Elizabeth Gau-
mer. She is the widow of DR.. T. NJ. Caumer,
late editor and publisher of the
Champaign Democrat, of this city.
About a week ago the people Of
Urbana were startled with the report that
she had been beaten by an unknown col
ored man because she refused TO sign a
check for $780, With a lead pencil picked
up at the time for a clew, officer Wooten-
ham began to hunt down the man, and by
noon had Click" Mitchell behind the bars.
Mrs. Gaumer was too i'll to appear at the
mayors Office and on Tuesday of this
week the hearing was held by Mayor Gan
zon at Mrs Gaumer's residence. She be-
ing very sick, was compelled to give her
testimony from her bed, and Mitchell was
then charged with rape. The check story
was started merely to spare Mrs. Gaumers
feelings. 1t developed later that the negro
was suffering from loathsome disease.
Mrs. Gaumer is completely Frustrated
frCm the nervous shock, and is in an hys-
terical condition, but it is thought she will
recover. 1t is understood she was in the
mans power for over half an hour. a
shawl was tied about her head to prevent
her cries from being heard by the neigh
DCIS. ne negro tore neT ClOLlluS OIL anu
in the struggle scratched and bruised her
badly. He also bit her about the neck and
breast. Mrs. Gaumer is about forty-fiye
years old, small and handsome, and IS
spoken of by everybody here as a lady of
culture and character. She cannot be seen,
but her son Charles, who is about twenty
years old, states that she received the news
of the lynching with every manifestation
of satisfaction, but expressed regret for
the killing OF innocent people at the jail
last night.
Mrs Gaumer's brothers-in-law are d. H.
Gaumer, publisher of the GAINESVILLE Sig
nal and eX-state senator, and G. n. Gaum-
err, formerly publisher of the Mansfield
Shield and an ex-state representative.
Mitchell was tWenty-three years old and
a hotel porter. He bought milk at Mrs.
Gaumers and knew she was alone while
her children We're at school and deliberately

THE CUBAN ARMY.
An American Says 1t Is i'm Good COndt-
tion--GOmez Has 10000 Men.


WASHINGTON, June 4.-Capt. w. d.
Smith, of the Cuban army, spent consid-
cradle time again to-day with the Senate
committee on foreign relations In brief
interview with reporter he said: THE
Cuban army is now in better condition to
resist the Spaniards and to maintain the
fight for independence than it has been
since the beginning OF the war. General
Gomez has a well-disciplined army Of
about forty thousand men, who are deter
mined to hold out until their efforts shall
be crowned with victory. Our soldiers are
rapidly procuring arms, and every day
this respect. Our troops enjoy vast ad-
vantage over the Spaniards in that they
are not injuriously affected by the climate.
l may say that i have not oseen a case of
yellow fever or smallpox among the Cuban
soldiers since l have been on the island,
and that l have not been sick day my
self. Furthermore, we have no difficulty i'll
feeding our troops. In the portion of the
country in which the Cuban troops are in
control the provisions are protected and we
draw our supplies from this source. Our
commissariat is therefore regularly reneW-
ed, and our supplies are received in guam
titles quite sufncient to meet all our
wants..
Captain Smith is an American. He has
been in Cuba for a year, and is an officer
in General Gomezs body guard.

SPANISH CABINET CRISIS.
Main Question at Issue Is u New Cow
ernor for Cuba.

MADRID, June 4.--EVery one Is convinced
that the main question at issue in the pres-
ent crisis is the selection of a new governor
OF Cuba capable of convincing the people
that Spain is in earnest in the matter of
colonial reforms. The crisis is likely to be-
prolonged but there is a significant change
of tone visible in the Conservative papers,
which are beginning to hint that the futurei
fate OF the Conservative party is not alto-
gether dependent upon Captain General
Weyler. The impression gains ground that
rather than see the Liberals in Office the
Conservatives would consent TO recall Wey-
ler; and it is believed that Marshal Mar
tinez Campos is willing TO replace him. II
is understood that Senor Sagasta informed
the Queen Regent that If the Liberals came
into effice through the refusal to coun-
tenance foreign dietation, the recall OF
Weyler would be among the first steps
taken. The queen Regent is expected TO
consult Marshals Blanco and Dominguez
tomorrow on the military aspects of the
situation in Cuba, and there Is great anx-
ference between her Majesty and Marshal
Campos. The latter arrived to-day and
Immediately went to the palace.
Senor Sagasta, the Liberal leader after
conferring with the Queen Regent to-day,
said he had told her Majesty that the
Liberals We're prepared TO deal with all
pending questions. Public opinion continues
TO favor a Sagasta Cabinet.
The reports that Captain General Wey-
Ter had offered TO resign the supreme COM
mand in Cuba are semi-ofieially denied.

WASHINGTON, June 4-The energy,
skill and diplomacy of the representatives
of the revolutionary party in Cuba win be
exerted in an intensified form from now on
to involve this country actively in the ma
neuvering for Cuban peace and Cuban in
dependence. They will be aided and abetted
in their patriotic play by the manipula-
ton and scheming of the financial inter-
ests that are involved in the success of
that party From first to last a great deal
of money has been invested by Americans
in behalf of the Cuban cause and many
millions of dollars Of Cuban bonds and
paper are now held in this country. This
amount is increasing hourly and great for
tunes will be made by investors in these
securities the moment the United States
becomes an indorser and guarantees their
payment Foreseeing the disastrous Spanish
finish, representatives of the $400 100000 In
Spanish-Cuban bonds now outstanding are
also figuring energetically and their agents
are in Washington keeping very close
watch on Congress and the administration.
Although Spain has declared that under
no possible circums tances or condition
would she part with Cuba for price, yet
the bondholders feel very differently about
it and are far from being averse to the
purchase of the island and the assumption
of the debt by a solvent government. The
Cubans insist that they would not agree
to any settlement that would include the
payment of these bonds, but it is known
that they can easily be induced to yield
that point when it becomes plain to them
that ultimate payment will be assumed and
paid by the Yankee nation. In the negotia-
tions which are soon to be started and
which are to be carried on indefinitely over
Cuba by this government and Spain, the
almighty dollar and its influence will figure
very conspicuously. Patriotism will be
paraded in the foreground, but commerce

STONE FIRM FAILS.
DOlez ~ Shepard, of Chicago, Embar-
rassed by Much Litigation.


CHICAGO June 4.-After passing
through much litigation the stone firm of
Dolez & Shepard went into the hands of
a receiver to-day. Thomas P. Phillips, the
president of the Chicago and Papervile
Stone Company, was appointed to take
charge of the assets of the firm upon the
application of John Dolez one of the part

$730,000 The plant of the concern is, how

CONFESSION OF A THIEF.
Receiving Teller of Bank Relates How
He Robbed His Employers.

ST. PAUL, June 4.-Charles r. Zchau, the
receiving teller of the German-American
National Bank who last night confessed to
the stealing Of the package of $13,600 on last
Saturday, to-day added to that confession
the further statement that during his con-
nection with the bank he had taken at least
SO, 700 more. On one occasion he stole a

little hope of a speedy adjournment. Last
