POPULISTIC WRANGLE.
EDITORS OF THE FREE SILVER
PERSUASION AT OUTS.
Two Meetings For the Reform Press Asso-
citation Called and There is Likely to
Be Some Fun Over it.

st. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 19-Chairman
has received a letter from Paul Van
deTvoort of Omaha, CURLY suspending
him from membership in the National
Reform Press association on account
of alleged INSTRUMENTATION. This is one
of the incidents of the National row
between the middle and
fusion Populists now in progress. The
Reform Press association, an organi-
cation of Populist editors, is split on
the fusion question. The split is over
the fact that Mr.. Vandervoort, with
out consulting Mr.. Roselle. called the
National convention for Memphis,
Tenn, on February %.
Mr.. ROsele thought he saw in the
call for a meeting at Memphis. plan
by the dle-of-the-roaders to capture
the association. Accordingly. he sent
out circular letter few days ago to
all the Populist editors in the United
States explaining what he thought was
the purpose of the Memphis meeting,
and called for a meeting for the same
day at Kansas City.
Mr.. ROselle has been suspended for
issuing the circular letter. President
Vandervoort claiming that it was a
violation of the provisions of the con-
stitutiOn against INSTRUMENTATION. Mr..
Roselle says that he will not be sus-
pended.
Mr.. VandervoOrt suspended me, or
thinks he has" said Mr.. Roselle, "but
I shall not pay any attention to it. He
tells me to turn over all bokks, moneys,
etc, belonging to the association to
Jos. 4. Parker, of Louisville, the cor
responding secretary, but 1 shall do
nothing of the kind. I shall wait and
see whether or not Mr.. Vandervoort
has any right to call the Memphis
meeting or to suspend me for protest
ing,as 7 did,against his presumption"

BOSTON DOCTOR ARRESTED FOR
ALLEGED FALSE SWEARING
Wifey Say he is Innocent But His String
Of Aliases Don't Look Well For
An Honest Man.

Boston, Mass, Jan. 19.-Dr. James T.
Simpson, a well known doctor of the
West End, is under arrest charged

DR.. Harvey, of the Board of Registry
in Medicine, said that DR.. Simpson
has been engaged in selling a patent
medicine in the west under the name
of HarrOp, in this city, however, he

DEADLY TORPEDOS.
PLACED BY OUBANS AND BLOWS UP
A SPANISH GUNBOAT.
No Time to Lower a Boat, so Quick Was
The Work Accomplished-Orew
Left Struggling in the Water.

New York, Jan. PA dispatch to
the Herald from Havana, says:
When the gunboat Retampago struck
the torpedo, which sunk her off Man
go, there was no time to lower boat
and almost before the extent of the ac-
cident could be realized, the vessel
went down.
Those on board of her who We're not
injured jumped into the water and
made their way as best they could in
the direction of the Centineta, aboard
which the greatest excitement pre-
vailed.
AS soon as it was seen that the Re-
rampage was sinking, the Centineta's
boats were ordered away to assist in
Gus losses were inflicted upon them.
The rebels appeared to be in strong
force along the banks of the river and
when they saw the Spaniards in the
water they directed a heavy rifle fire
until morning. The Centineta opened
fire upon the rebels but as they could
not be seen and their positions could
only be discovered by the smoke from
their guns, it is not believed that seri-
Gus losses were infiictedvupOn them.
When the Centineta's boats attempt
ed to rescue the men struggling in the
water the rebels fired upon them, but
the Spaniards bravely persisted in
their work of rescue until all the men
had been taken from the water.
Nearly every survivor of the Retam-
pagO's crew was wounded and there
were only few of the men belonging
to the Centineta who had not been hit
by the rebel bullets. The commander
of the Centineta was so seriuosly
wounded that doubts are entertained
of his recovery.
The condition of the survivors was
such that it was impossible for the
Centineta to proceed to Guamo and
she therefore returned to Manzanillo
where the news of the disaster caused
intense excitement.
The official report of the affair states
that the commander. second engineer,
and three sailors of the Retempago
were killed and her boatswain, quar-
termaster, chief engineer, pilot and
four sailors were wounded.
The boatswain of the Centenela was
killed and her pilot, second engineer
gunner and six sailors were wounded.
Both gunboats were small vessels, in
tended principally for river service and
did not carry large crews.
