A LIFE SAVER.

Boston, June 2S.-On July 4. Peter S.
McNally, Of this city, will attempt to
swim from England to France across
the English channel. His course will
be from Dover to Calais, Fl nautical or
2S land miles in distance. This feat
has been accomplished by but one man.
That is Capt Webb, who swan the
channel in 1875. His time was q hours
and As minutes. McNally thinks he
can lower this record to about Is hours.
Since 1872 Mentally has probably
saved more than 100 lives, he cannot
himself tell how many.
Nor have all the lives he saved been
from drowning. In 1882, when fire de-
stroyed the warehouse of John p. Low
ell Arms Company, he rescued a
Waterman from burning, and in two
later big fires he took three people
from the buildings in an unconscious
condition.

KEANE COMING BACK.

New York, June 2S.-The Journal and
Advertiser says:
Archbishop Keane, former rector of
the Catholic university at Washington,
is about to return to the United
States. Letters received here state
that he will return to his duties at the
propaganda within few days and will
then go to France, where he expects to
pass a few weeks with personal
friends. He will arrive in this city
during the last week in July. But it
is more than probable that unexpect-
ed circumstances will bring him here
sooner than he expects. 1t is said that
he is to be appointed archbishop of
New Orleans to succeed the venerable
Archbishop Jannssens, who died sud-
denly a week ago while on his way to
this city. 1t is known that Cardinal
Gibbons and Archbishop Ireland will
favor the appointment of Archbishop
Keane to this important charge.
He Is very close to them and they
are anxious that he shall once more
resume his work among the hierarchy
here. 1t is also an open secret that the
archbishop is not satisfied with his
work in Rome, and that he would pre-
fer to be here among his own friends.

FIGHTING IN,cuBA.

Weyler's "Pacified" Island Appears to
Be Very Much Alive.
New York, June 2S.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Key West says:
Private advices just received from
Santiago province gives further details
of the fighting during the last week
around Gibara and Banes between
the insurgent and Spanish forces. The
advices state that the insurgents under
Gen. Calixto Garcia and Col. Torres,
numbering between 5000 and 5000 we'll
armed and well equipped men attack
ed both of the seaports simultaneously,
but met with stubborn resistance from
the Spaniards, who had been advised
of the coming and were prepared to re-
sist attacks. The demonstration
again Gibara on the north coast, was
merely a feint by the rebels to divert
attention and draw the Spanish forces
from Gibara, which was the point real
ly to be attacked, and which they
knew had, been strongly fortified and
garrisoned.
The ruse was partially successful and
Gen. Garcia with his forces entered
Gibara.
His success, however, was only of
short duration as he was subsequently
driven out after hot fight, during
which many were killed and wounded
on both sides. Col. Machado, vet
eran of the ten years war, and who
is actively engaged in promoting the
present struggle, says:
MY advices from Cuba are that
Gen. Gomez has planned his summer
campaign and put it in operation.
Already columns of thousands of well
armed men, under efficient leaders,
have been distributed throughout Man.
tanzas and Havana provinces. There
will be directed by Gen. Gomez at San
ia Clara, where he will pitch his head
quarters"

+. IS TO| WILL NEVERDO /"
So Says EX-PreSidential
Candidate Bots.
THE ERSTWHILE STRONG FREE
SILVER SUPPORTER DE-
N0UNCES 1T NOW.
Says They Have Fought The Battle
And Lost II And Must Now
Resort To Something
Better To Secure
A Victory.

Waterloo, Ia, June 2S.-"For one, 1
do not believe 1t possible to succeed
upon a platform that demands the un-
qualified free coinage of silver at the
ratio of sixteen to one with gold. We
have fought that battle and 1t is lost.
We can never fight it over under cir
cumstances more favorable to our
selves. If we hope to succeed we must
abandon this extreme demand"
In these words Horace Bots, former
governor of Iowa, and erstwhile Dem
ocratic presidential aspirant, address,
es the voters of the United States who
demand the free coinage of silver. He
does it through the medium of his let
ter to Col. d. M. Fox, of Des Moines,
which the letter will print in his forth
| coming book.
THE friends of silver, although once
defeated, are not yet demoralized.
This will not be true after a second
defeat" he warningly says: I'm our
next great battle we must win or our
cause is lost"
Although Mr.. Bots has in private
| frequently ex pressed hostility to the
16 to plank of the Chicago platform,
| this is the first authoritative declara-
| ton from him to that effect. In pub
licly declaring ii to be dead issue, he
gives at length his reasons for assert
| ing such. He says the voters buried
it under the impression that it meant
silver monometalism pure and simple.
ut, matters not" he says, +" how we
convince the people the gold standard
| thaf1n thaf
what we offer in it's place is better in
stead of worse"
BY the adoption of the 16 to 1 plank,
he declares, the delegates to the Chi
cago convention forced the silver for
ces to assume the defensive for their
new creed. The result, he asserts was
the weakening instead of the strength
ening of their ranks, as their platform
was battered by the arguments of their
opponents.
