REPUBLICAN LEAGUE CLUBS.


DETROIT, Mich. July l4.-At 1O:45
Chairman Woodmansee called the Re-
publican league convention to ord r.
The committee on credentials was not
ready, SO the committee on rules made
its report on order Of business and
rules The report was adopted.
The committee on credentials report
ed that the questions Of seats had been
settled amicably With the exception of
that of the Louisiana delegation of 20,
headed by II. II. Blunt ,colored), was
recommended to be seated, and that
the delegation Of four, headed by c. G.
Wilson, be excluded. The report was
adopted.
The resolutions which were then re.
ported through the chairman of the
res olutions committee, Col. Bundy, of
Ohio, declare unfaltering allegiance
ito the principles and policies of the
party of protection, sound money, reci-
procity and patriotism, as expressed in
the st. Louis platform, The faith
which prompted the nomination and
election of VIM. Mckinley aud a
arepublican congress has been justified
and we congratulate the country upon
the evidences of returning prosperity.
We pledge anew the organized effort
of league men throughout the Union
for the party of Abraham Lincoln"
The platform commends the presi.
dent and congress in sending none
tary commission to European nations;
for inaugurating measures for the an
neXation of Hawaii, and for an attitude
on the Cuban matter that has tended to
lessen Spanish atrocities in that
island. They urge upon congress the
earliest possible passage of discrini-
nation duty measurs to protect Ameri.
can shipping. Congress is commended
for fostering the heet sugar industry
by legislation. The question of equal
suffrage to women is recomm nded
to members of the league as a matter
of education. President Cleveland's
civil service changes are vigorously
condemned, and a modification of the
rules and provisions of that law are
favored, in the interest of good
service, and to correct the injus-
tice alleged to have been thus :per-
petrated Restriction of immigration
is favored, and sympathy expressed
with the miners ard other laboring
men in their struggles for living
wages.

A CHANGE or TACTICS.
Gen. Gomez Says the War Must
be Settled Quickly.
He WILL PROCEED TO FORCE A CRISIS.
His Intention is to Deliver Some Quick,
Hard Blows to the Spanish Forces
in the Immediate Vicinity
Of Havana.

WAsntNCroS, July H. - Maxine
Gomez has changed radically his plan
Of campaign. A letter from him has
been received in Washington Hereto
fore the commander Of the army Of
liber alton has waged a waiting war.
He has maintained that the course for
the Cub ans to pursue was to let the
fever among the soldiers and the
financial stringency of Spain win the
battles for independence. He has been
best satisfied to avoid fighting and to
worry the Spanish forces. But, for
reasons which seem good to him, the
leader of the insurgents has now
adopted an entirely different policy.
This letter received here brings from
Gomez himself the information of the
change.
1T must be settled quickly" Gen.
Gomez says, speaking of the war. lie
tells that it is his purpose to force
crisis as speedily as possible. To this
end he has left the scene of his long
delay near La Reforma, on the eastern
c lge Of Santa Clara province, has made
his way across Santa Clara and
Matanzas provinces and is now within
Havana province. He intimates that
he regards some quick, hard blows in
the vicinity of Havana as vital to the
cause, and that he will direct them in
person.
The letter was received by an officer
of the insurgent army who came to
Washington recently. Its contents
can not be made public further than
has been indicated. They are not in
terpreted as altogether encouraging by
the receiver, but rather as showing the
near approach of a desperate situa-
ton, as crisis in Cuban affairs.
The officer in receipt of the letter
from Gomez will leave at once for
the island. He believes that the
fate Of the insurrection is now about to
be determined. The feeling that the
immediate future is to produce impor-
tant results in Cuba is shared by the
administration. Within the last few
days three American consuls on the
islands, located at Matauzas, Sagua
and Santiago De Cuba, have asked for
leaves of absence, Under ordinary cir
cumstances, the requests would be
granted. Mr.. Baker, the consul
at Sagua has not been away from his
post in three years, and has been urged
by his physician to take a vacation for
reasons of his health. But the state
department has notified all of those
consuls that it is not compatible with
public interests to grant leaves at the
present time. Consul-General Lee fully
expected to come to this country in
July, 1t is stated that he will not
leave Havana now because of the pos
sible developments.

CREDEE'S SUICIDE.
The Coroner's Jury Called 1t Accidental
SeIr-DestFuction.

Los ANGELES, Cal, July 14.-Acci-
dental self-poisoning by an overdose of
morphine, taken to relieve pain, was
the verdict of the coroner's jury as
to the cause of death of Nicho-
las c. Creede, the mining
king, who was found dead in the gar
den of his residence on Pearl street.
During the inquest very little refer
ence was made to his wife, from whom
he separated six months ago,
and whose return was con-
jectured to be one of the
causes of the depression which
is said to have been observed in Creede
of late. All questions asked at the in
quest were evidently intended to bring
out the contention made by the friends
of the deceased that it was entirely an
accident that he took an overdose of
morphine

SUFFERING AND SUCCESS.


PHGNIx, Ariz.. July 14.-John F.
James and Henry Blake have returned
from the desert region near the Mex
lean border, bearing story of extreme
suffering and of success in the discovery
of the famous California mine, one of
the most famous of the lost mines
of the southwest. The mine lies so
miles south of Sentinel station on the
Southern Pacific, in region that ap-
pears absolutely waterless. For ten
days the men and their burros were
compelled to live by drinking the bitter
Juice of the cactus. The men are terribly
broken through their sufferings on the
blazing desert They could stay at the
mine only short time, but brought
back samples of gold-specked ore taken
from the bottom of the shaft, where
yet were the tools left by the miners of
so years ago. They will outfit and re-
turn as soon as they regain strength.
