in a carp pond, and that the effect of the
Dingley tariff had been to increase the ne
cessity for the carp to combine forces
against the common enemy The abolition

only be a gain to Germany, and he was

Asserted by Those Who Know
That Mark Will Go to
the Senate.
Sherman to Be Offered the
State Portfolio and Will
Accept 1t.
Alger of MiChiga an Counted As
Certain for Secretary
of War.

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 1.-The opin-
ion among those who claim to know is
that Senator Sherman will be offered
and will accept the secretaryship of
state in Mr.. McKinley's cabinet and
that Mr.. Hanna will not be one Of the
cabinet advisers of the next president.
1t is believed to be certain that Mr..
Hanna will be appointed as the sue
cessor of Mr.. Sherman in the senate, q
place which he very much prefers to
any portfolio which the president-elect
could offer him. Inasmuch as the
senatorial appointment would have to
be made by Governor Bushnell, the ar
rangement herein suggested is said to
Indicate the Friendly Feeling
which Senator-elect Foraker has for
the presiGent-elect and for the chair
man of the national committee.
Regarding the selection of Cornelius
N. Bliss of New York for secretary Of
the navy, it is said that Mr.. Bliss has
been offered the place, but that he de-
ferred his acceptance until he could as
certain whether he could so arrange his
business affairs so as to permit OF his
taking the place.
General Alger of Michigan is counted
as certain to be the secretary of war.

KEY WEST, Fla, Jan. 1l.-News
was received here from the Pinar del
Rio country to the effect that the Lone
Star comp pany of Texas, raiders in the
Cuban army, had again distinguished
themselves. From the reports it ap-
pears that they defeated much
larger force than themselves, captur-
ing the Spanish captain and taking
a provision train that the Spanish de-
tachment was guarding. The battle
took place last week, probably on Fri.
day, Judging by the date of the letter
received near Palcine, south of San
Christobal. A detachment of 300 Span
ish calvary was escorting a train OF
provisions along this route, when the
Texans, who only numbered 100 men,
ambushed both sides of the road. Tents,
arms, ammunition and provisions were
captured. The Spaniards left 40 dead
and 40 wounded on the field, while the
Cubans had killed and IA wounded.

ing" lately. Antonio Roginy, native
Cuban, forced to leave home as police
were after him on suspicion, has ar
rived here. He says the raid of Gao.
billias, called Spanish victory, was a
great Cuban success. The town was
garrisoned by 500 Spaniards who had
three cannon. Before daylight
Wednesday Cuban insurgents seized
the outposts and almost captured the
entire place before the Spaniards knew
what was going on. One cannon was
turned on the Cubans and they re.
treated to the intrenchments. Major
Sores threw part of his force IN the
rear of the Spaniards and routed them.
The Cubans did not pursue they were
after the spoils and supplies. The
Spaniards had managed to spike one
cannon but the Cubans took the other
two with them, as well as the complete
camp equipment, including a large
supply of ammunition.

feeling Is that it will not avail much to

as follows:
eve are to be congratulated upon
ho growth of our party and the fact
that in the recent election, nearly half
~ the voters of the Union endorsed
much of our platform. We elected
several governors, as well as hundreds
4 of other state, county and town Off

times as many congressman as ever
before.
ave united with the silver forces in

believe free coinage of silver is the so.
/ Flution of the financial problem, but be-
cause it would better existing condi-
tions. would meet with the least
resistance and would become the en-
tering wedge for our main issue,
Full Legal Ten der Paper Money,
issued and regulated by the govern
ment alone. Having proved our 10y
atty at the polls, we are free to act sep
arately on advanced lines and to en-
phasize the real issues our party was
/ born to advocate. If we remain mere
camp followers of another party, disin-
tegration will result. Our party sue
cess alone forced the Democrats to
adopt the Chicago platform and nomi-
nate Popocrat for president. Con-
yerts made by party regularity cannot
be trusted with the reforms of the fu-
/ ture.
II suggest that national conference
4 Of party leaders and workers be held
as soon as practicable, that we may
have full and free expression Of opin-
ion regarding our future work. We
hope, therefore, that the reform press
Twill give the fullest possible exposition

lect; and our friends are invited to
write me or our national chairman ex-
pressing their ideas on the independent
