Their Leaders Refuse Marshal BlancO's
Offers of Money and Rank --- They
Want Independence and Believe IL Is
In sight.
The most important news from Cuba
this week is the statement, undoubtedly
true, that the first step in the new Captain
Generals policy is to try to bride the rebel
leaders TO accept autonomy Il make peace.
The Spanish General Pando has been com.
missioned 10y Marshal Blanco to enter into
negotiations with prominent insurgents
with this end in view. General Pando,
after a consultation with the captain gen
eral, first brought about the release from
confinement of Damian Caballero who hal
been imprisoned on the Isle of Pines for
acting as IA spy for the insurgents and
bringing about the disaster suffered by the
Spanish troops at the battle of Cacao, prov
ince of Santiago de Cuba Gen. Pando
furnished Daman Cabalero, who is the
godfather of Rabi the well-known insur-
gent leader, with considerable sum of
money and caused him to be landed at
Manzanillo province of Santiago de Cuba,
where good horse was placed at his dis
posal. Gen. Pando's peace emssary was
also furnished with official documents EN-
! towering him to act for the Spanish com
| mander and from Manzanillo Caballero
made his way secretly to the Jiguani hills
where Gen. Rabi has his headquarters.
Gen Pando instructed Caballero to offer
Gen. Rabi high rank in the Spanish army
and a large sum of money to be distributed
among the other insurgent leaders Of that
part of Cuba and, in addition, Gen. Pan
| dos messenger was empowered to offer
| Gen. Rabi a.large sum of money for him
self, in the event of the latter succeeding in
arranging terms for peace Besides this Cab

mist regime if the leaders of the insurgents
would accept the propositions made to them
Although Cabalero has not returned from
Santiago de Cuba, confidential advice,
which have reached the Spanish official,
seem to indicate that Caballero has so fai

1t is understood that Gen Rabi has re

of the war in favor Of the insurgents i

Peru Deserts Silver.

The state department at Washing
ton has received Official information Of
the suspension of silver coinage in
Peru. The decree putting into effect
the new system of coinage in that
country tells the same old story. The
fluctuation of exchange arising in the
constant depression of silver has
forced the government, as a measure Of
protection, to suspend the coinage of
national silver money, and the white
metal thus drops to an ordinary article
OF commerce. This is the history Of
silver the world over, and the action
of the Peruvian government will occa-
sion no surprise. But it will cause dis
may in the ranks of the silverites, who
thus lose another Of their bright and
shining examples. One after another

small, which still cling to silver COIN

tendency of the times, and RELOCATING

ton in the action of Peru. and the free

This is season of mirth and amuse-

cakes are baked and devoured. In the
time Of Elizabeth it was a practice at
Elton for the cook to fasten a pancake
to a crow-the ancient equivalent for
the knocker-upon the school door
The object Of the pancakes was really
to use up the eggs, grease, lard and
drippings, which were forbidden on
ard after Ash Wednesday, and in the
mOnasteries such pancakes as the
monks were unable to eat were distri5-

Currency Reform.

The first need of the government Il
COR revenue sufficient to meet it's ex-
penses. The Republicans propose TO
meet that need by passing a bill to
increase revenues. The Republicans
believe. too. that protective meas
ure. which will encourage American
industries. will help to restore pros-
rerity. They propose to pass such a
measure. The Dingley bill. even az
modified by the senate. is a hill for
protection and revenue.
When the government has plenty Of
revenue 1t can correct the DEFICIENCIES
in its currency system. The best ele-
ments of the Democrats. who honestly
want currency reform, must admit
that they cannot get as many as half
dozen of their party in congress to
agree to retiring greenbacks. which is
the only measure of currency refo, n
they suggest.
The way to get rid Of greenbacks.
snd all the other floating obligations
of the government, is to provide pleD-
ty of revenue, and put the people of
the country at work.-LouisvilIe Com

Our Tiny Defenders.

Inc study of germs has produce&
nothing more interesting than the dis
covery not only that all of the little
organisms called bacteria, or microbes,
are not Injurious in their effects upon
man. but that some Of them must
actually be reckoned as his friends, de-
iending him, as they do. against 9TH
er microbes which are unquestionably
injurious. And even more interesting
than this Is the discovery of the Rus
sian savant, Metchnikoff, that the mi
mute cells in human blood which ply
sicians call white corpuscles," are
most powerful and effective enemies to
the germs Of disease seeking to make
their way into the system. When ex-
amined with microscope these cells
present curious and startling appear
ance OF independent life. and under
proper conditions they my be seen to
crawl slowly about. Their manner of
acting when they are called upon to
defend the blood against invasion from
without is almost dramatic in interest.
II wound is made in the hand or arm.
or ether part of the body, immediate
danger arises from the floating germs
IN the atmosphere which light upon
the wounded surface and there find a
ready-made breach through which they
can enter the system. But the mar
vellous cells in the blood meet the enc
my on the threshold AS soon as the
wound is open they flock to the place of
danger and literally devour the enter
ing microbes. Unless the invading
hosts are extraordinarily numerous
and powerful. and are favored by unto
ward circumstances, the victory al
most invariably remains with the d.
tenders of the breach.

Yfnaoesssa faAas Loas oexs6as.
The most significant Sign Of The tlnD
in tho political world II the revolu-
ton now going on In the South, it,
awakening to the Lose 1t has suffered
from the Democratic tariff for rev.
enue only" system. and its rapid con-
version to the Republican doctrine Of
protection. That this change II now
going on Is beyond dispute. and II
proved by the utterances Of dozens Of
Democratic newspapers In every South
ern state. Some of them, to be sura.
are grudging in their admissions that
the Southern people are becoming ad-
vocates of protection. but that very eff
fort to belittle the movement only
goes to prove the strength it has al
ready attained.
The Times Of Canton, Miss, pub
lished in q section that has no coal.
iron or manufacturing interests, comes
boldly out with the following state
ment:
It is plainly evident to the intelli-
gent and watchful observer of passing
events that the time is not far distant
when the material interest of the
South will in all probability work q
revolution in sentiment on the tariff
question. Protection is now sought
from Egyptian long-staple imported in
to this country, and rightly so. The su-
gar interests and various other inter-
ests will seek protection. The labor
ing people will want it from the pau
per labor Of Europe the labor ele-
ment North. The recent election was
carried by the laboring people of the
North. not by being bought up or in
Inundated by employers, but from a
sensible and well-defined idea of pro-
lection. The political complexion Of
the South cannot long remain as 1t is
now; negro domination and force bills
are things of the past. We are in
state of transition, both financially
aid politically.
A Democratic newspaper Of New Or
leans says:
Suitable protection on sugar for zen
years will, in all probability. enable US
to produce our own supplies Of sugar,
and save that large outlay of cash an
nually given to foreigners for that pur-
pose.
This is from the Richmond Va.)
Dispatch:
Well. it does look a little incon-
sistent. from political point of view.
for cotton planters to be asking for
protection. But since pretty much ev-
erything else is to be protected, and
free Egyptian long-staple cotton would
put the Sea Island cotton raisers at
the mercy Of the New England cotton
manufacturers, it would be inconsis-
tent with common sense for the Sea
Island planters not to try to protect
themselves.

Free silver Theories Panetaroa.
Some of the assertions of the silver
orators of the last campaign read
curiously now. For instance. that one
in which they insisted that farm prod
ucts and silver kept pace in rise and
fall is especially amusing. in view of
the fact that farm products have
steadily risen in value in the past
eight months. while silver has gone In
the other direction. Silver has, in the
last few weeks, reached the lowest
point in its history, while wheat in
that same time has reached selling
price double that which existed at the
very time that these arguments were
being most vigorously presented. The
Kansas Populists are reported in a
state Of distress over the condition OF
the country. Prosperity has set in In
that state without the adoption of the
free coinage of silver or any other OF
their numerous nostrums of this char
acter. Prices of cattle. hogs, wheat,
corn and farm products Of all kinds
have advanced and there are more
signs of activity and prosperity fol-
lowing the rejection Of the free coin
age of silver than the state has seen
for many years.
These disguised gentry are now
making bon-fires of their recent cam
paign speeches in which they insisted
that the low farm prices in this coun-
try were due to the treatment which
silver had received. The country re-
jected their proposition for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver and
simultaneously with that action prices
of farm products began to rise and
have steadily advanced, while silver
has steadily gone in the other direc-
ton.
Peru's Action . Blow to Silverites.
Little Peru is just now the subject of
a good deal of attention from all parts
Of the world by reason of the fact that
on May 10 her new currency system
went into effect. This system creates
the gold standard and prohibits the
importation of silver coin, the purpose
Of this prohibition being to maintain
the standing and nominal value of the
silver coin already in the country.
Commenting upon this action by Peru.
the Macon Telegraph, Democratic
paper. says: "The statesmen of little
Peru are wiser than the new breed of
our own country. who spring from the
mining camps Of the west"
