READER, whose name it were not wise to
mention, that three Republicans will not
vote for Pritchard on the first ballot, and
there you are. The same leader said If

would hear something drop.
Now, let's suppose some conditions:
Suppose Skinner keeps good to his chal-
lenge TO Butler in the caucus that he
Skinner would go for Populist, if
Butler would put him up. Skinner went
so far. it is reliably said, as to mention
Thompson. viii he think that this
absolyes him from Pritchard? Moreover,
suppose Linney or some other Republi-
can dark horse is fetched in, will this
absoye Skinner? Will the Democrats
make any conditions precedent to sup
porting Thompson? What did Butler
put Thompson up for anyhow, for love
OF Thompson, or because Thompson be-
longed properly to the Skinner faction?
But this much may be said Thompson
never endorsed Pritehard as a condition
OF cooperation during the campaign.
Now isn't it all a pretty mixture?

the news that General Gomez
is undoubtedly marching on
Havana slowly but surely, and
that his advance guard is lay
ing in waste the country as
they proceed. In less than a

.Comez's army has destroyed
by fire twenty-one of the most
valuable estates in the province
of Matanzas, and the work of
destruction continues as the
army moves along. The PEG
pie of Havana are at last be
coming thoroughly alarmed at
the situation, and all who pos
sibly can have already left the
place. Those who have been
detained are making prepare
tons to leave with all possible
haste. Many of those who have
been outwardly loyal to Spain
have lost all confidence in Gen
eral Weyler's ability to handle
the insurgents, and they now
actually fear for the safety of
Havana.
Skirmishes occur every day
