The Erstwhile Free Silver Leader
Says 1t is a Lost
Cause.
THE BATTLE FOUGHT and LOST
First Public Declaration from BOies
That He is Hostile to
the Platform.

Waterloo, Ia, June 2S-"For one
do not believe it possible to succeed on
the platform that demands the unqual-
flied free coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to / with gold. We have fought
that battle and 1t is lost. We can never
fight it over under circumstances more
favorable to ourselves. If we hope to
to succeed we must abandon this ex-
treme demand"
In these words Horace Boies, 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 letter
to Col. D. Nj. Fox, of Des MOines.
"The friends of silver, although once
defeated, are not yet demoralized.
This will not be true after the second
defeat" he warn'ngly says. "In our
next battle we must win or our cause
is lost" Although Mr.. Boies has in
private frequently expressed hostility
to the Is to l plank of the Chicago
platform, this is the first authoritative
declaration from him to that'effect.
La publicly declaring it to be a dead
issue he gives at length his reasons for
asserting it to be such. He says the
voters buried it under the belief that
it meant silver mOnometalism, pure
and simple, which would increase in
stead of diminish the misfOrtunes at
tributed to the single gold standard.

Gomez Begins His Summer Campaign by At

New York, June 2S.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Key West says that
private advices from Santiago province
gives further details of the fighting
during the last week around Gibra and
Banes between the insurgents and the
Spanish forces. The advices state that
the insurgents under General Garcia
and Colonel Torres, numbering be-
tween 5000 and 5000 men, attacked
both of the seapOrts simultaneously,
but met with stubborn resistance.
The demonstration against Banes,
which is less than ten leagues distant
from Gibra on the north coast, was
merely feint by the rebels to divert
attention and draw the Spanish forces
from Gibra, which was the point really
to be attacked. The ruse was partially
successful and Garcia, with his forces,
entered Gibra. His success, however,
was of only short duration, as he was
subsequently driven out after hot
fight, during which many were killed
and wounded on both sides.
Colonel MachedO of the famous ten
years. war says: general Gomez has
planned his summer campaign and put
it in operation. Already columns of
thousands of we'll armed men under
efficient leaders have been distributed
throughout Matanzas, Havana, and
