SPAIN is TROUBLED.
The Castilian Government Worried
Over Cuban ReYerses.

Washington, Sept. 13.-Military ex-
perts who have been closely following
the progress of the Cuban campaign
declare that the capture of Las Tunas
by the Cubans is comparatively as great
a victory for the insurgents as was the
capture of Vicksburg by Grant for the
union.
Madrid, Sept. 13.-Gen. Pando, in a
letter to the Cuban senator's and depu-
ties, requests them to hold a meeting
and come to a decision regarding the
Cuban situation, declaring that the
time has come to speak cut and fix the
responsibility for the present policy
upon its promoters. The excitement
caused by the capture by the Cuban in
surgents of Victoria de las Tunas. prov
ince of Santiago de Cuba, continues
here. The impartial describes it as a
catastrophe for Spain.

Columbus, O., Sept. 10. - The gold
democratic state convention met at ten
a. m. in the Great Southern theater
with between 300 and 400 persons pres
ent. Judge Beer, of Bucyrus, was made
chairman, and after a short introduc-
tory address, stating the tenets of the
national democratic party, introduced
Hon. w. d. Bynum, of Indiana, who
spoke about two hours on the money
question. Letters were read from Hon.
John G. Carlisle and Hon. Henry Wat
terson. The platform adopted reaffirms
allegiance to the principles of the party
as set forth in the platform adopted at
indianapolis in 1896, declares for the
maintenance of the gold standard, re-
tirement of greenbacks and extension
of civil service, denounces recent tariff
legislation, and condemns the proposed
annexation of Hawaii. The following
state ticket was nominated:
For governor, Julius Dexter, Cincinnati;
lieutenant governor, Judge A. E. Merrill,

THE COLORADO WRECK.
Trainmen Charged with Causing the
Horror at New Castle.

New Castle, Col, Sept. 13.-Frank
Rul bank, conductor, and Engineer Os-
trander, deceased, of the Colorado Mid
land railway, are charged by the cor
oner's jury with being responsible for
the frightful wreck which occurred
here last week. At the inquest the
jury decided from the evidence that
the conductor and engineer attempted
to arrive at New Castle siding upon
the time allotted by order of the train
dispatcher to the Rio Grande passenger
train west-bound.
The death of Rev. Alexander Hart
man, of Herscher, Ill.,, and. the finding
of the body of Engineer Ostrander in
creases the number of known dead to
IL. The coroners researches among the
ruins have convinced him that from
six to ten persons met death in the aw-
full accident. This materially reduces
the original estimate

WAR ON SPIRITS.
The Anti-spiritualism Crusade Is
Now Fairly Started.

Anderson, Ind, Sept. 13.-The nation
al conference of the anti-Spiritualistic
leaders of every state in the union

tions in point of size and attendance.
Every section of the nation was repre-
scented. The next annual meeting will
probably be held in Columbus. o.
The Ohio association posted $4,000

YELLOW FEVER.
Six Cases Officially Announced in
New Orleans.


New Orleans, Sept. 13.-Shortly be-
fore noon the board of health officially
declared six of the suspicious cases
OF fever on ST. Claude street to be
yellow fever. A couple of hours sub
scquently the board announced another
pronounced case of yellow fever at Miro
and Esplanade streets, also in the
lower part of the city, but mile or
more away from the infected square.
The announcement of the first six
cases OF yellow fever was not unexpect-
ed, although it was hoped from the
delay on the part of the experts that
these cases were simply of bilious ma
laria. No general alarm has resulted
here, although the news rapidly spread
through the city. The authorities do
not believe that the situation is ma
terially worse than it was four or five
days ago, and they are still confident
of their ability, with modern sanitary
appliances, successfully to quarantine
the infected districts.
Jackson, Miss, Sept. 3.-Excitement
over yellow fever has again been re-
newed here and an order has been
promulgated that all trains from the
infected district be forced to pass
through the city without stopping and
that quarantine be enforced with all
possible strictness.
Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 13.-The state
board of health has issued quarantine
orders against all points along the gulf
coast extending from Mobile to New
Orleans. This was done as a measure
of extra caution because of the receipt
OF unfavorable reports from the gulf
coast
