1t is a brave programme, Mr.. Walker,
hut why not save time by co.operat-
ing directly with the Republican party?

The last, the most serious charge of
all, has Row been refuted by Admiral
Cervera himself whose report Of the de-
struction of his fleet and all the attend
ing circumstances IL before the public.
After desc rihlng the l'tiful plight Of him
self and his men. who had been cast
ashore naked, the admiraE says: "The In
sureents had captured about two hun
tlrcd men, ana with them five or six who
were wounded. The Insurgents rendered
their services, which | thankfully de-
clincd. We have surrendered to the
Americans | told them. If you have
surgeons with YOU, kindly permit them
to attend to the wounded several of
whom are in a very bad condition." SO
that instead of being towards and thieves
and savages, according to tho wild yarns
of the hour, the men Lmmandcd by
General Garcia, according TO official re-
ports, carried themselves like soldiers ard
We're of service to the United States
forces. Tladucing the Cubans has so far
not been eminaltly successful.

These charges have now, one by ono,
been disprOvcd by the highest authorities.
Generals IawtoB, Wheeler, Ludlow, and
lastly General Miles. all make aCknowl-
rdgmCnt Of services received at the hands
oT General Garcia and his forces. and
General Miles in his report states that
not only did Genera! Garcia take orders
from him, but succeeded in obedience to
them in keeping "A large furCe of Span
a"d5 out of Santiago after the American
nvestiture of the city began. As to the
alleged pilfering and goimandizing by the
Cubans. General Wheeler has explained
that they merely picked up in plain view
of everybody what had been thrown
away. The Americans found them
selves too heavily clad for the tropics,
and upon landing and beginning their
march inland began stripping themselves
of all extras. The CubanS, who were
nearly naked, gladly snatched up what
their deliverers thus discarded, and
clothed Themselves with it. There was
doubtless somS petty thevery. but Cen
eral WHEELER explains away the gravest
Of the charges. The Cubans proved TO be
healthy feeders, because for the first
time in three years they found them
selves at d bountiful table.

LABOR AFTER JONES.
pointed N~on-UniOn Men and
Adopts

Mayor James NJ. Jones and his relations
with organized labor were considered by
the member of local union No. S. United
Association of Plumbers, Gas and Steam
filters at the meeting held last evening at
labor headquarters. Resolutions severely
censuring the mayor for unfriendly acts
were adopted and will be taken before the
Industrial Council at the meeting Sun
day.
The action of the plumbers and the
charges made against the men appointed
by the mayor to positions that should be
filled by plumbers was set forth In a long
written statement. 1t recited that the
mayor was claiming, and his political
friends were proclaiming about over the
city, that he was a friend of organized
labor and had given it the preference dur
ing his administration. The statement was
challenged and then fatty disputed.
1t was stated that l.. F. Mcclure, ap-
pointed as gas inspector. and Charles
Bailey, his assistant. were neither of them
plumbers or Sastitters, did not belong to
any organization of labor. had had no
training to qualify them for that line of
work and were holding positions that only
experienced gasfitters should hold.
Eight men, it was charged, had been APP
pointed in the water works department that
required a knowledge of the plumbers
trade. who were not plumbers and were
wholly without practical knowledge of the
duties they had to perform.
Mayor Jones, it was stated, had repeat
eddy promised the union that he would not
fail to give it due recognition in all ap-
business.
Neither Mcclure, Bailey nor the eight
men appointed in the water works depart
ment were union men. had no connection
whatever with any labor association or or
ganization and yet all were filling places
that ought to be held by men whose knowl-
edge of that line of work could only be
gained from practical experience and with
out which they were unable to render a
proper service. so it was stated.
The resolutions then denounced James NJ.
Jones, ma~tor of the city. for appointing
non-union men to positions that should be
filled by union men. 1t was ordered that
the resolutions go to the Industrial Council
at its meeting Sunday.
They were signed by Henry Seiveright,
president, and William c. Brickey, secre-
tary pro tenn, of the union.

SAYS FINDLEY ACCUSES HIM.
Mayor Jones Declares the Gambling
Boss Called Him an 'Im-
moral Man."

The Sixth Ward Italian Republican Club
met last night at the criminal courtroom
and listened to several speeches in the in
terest of the candidacy of James NJ. Jones
for the mayoralty nomination. H. Rubin
presided and l.. Crider acted as secretary
of the meetiII Mayor Jones made the
principal speech of the evening. He said
by way of introduction that he was cure
to get at least so per cent of the Italian and
the Jewish vote of the city, both at the
primaries and the general election. His
reason for this belief Was that az police
judge he had always treated Italians and
Jews with fairness and justice when the
police brought them into his court.
when l was a candidate for mayor two
years ago." said Mayor Jones, Il promised
the people that l would not allow another
yard of asphalt pavement to be laid in the
city unless there was a reduction in the
price that was then prevailing. l kept that
promise. l refused to permit any more
asphalt pavement bills to be passed by the
council till a reduction of 50 cents per yard
was made.
Il promised also in hat campaign that
gambling would be suppressed in Kansas
City, and that Ed Findley would be run
out of town. Well. didn't l keep hat
promise? Findley did leave. He went to
Chicago and to New York. and a short
time ago be came back and told the peo-
pie that he did not like the Jones admin
istration; that my appointees were not all
men of good moral character. and that the
morals of Mayor Jones himself were not
above %reproach. But. my fellow citizens. I
will dismiss this subjest by calling your
attention to the fact that, with the as
sistance of Messrs. Scarritt and Gregory on
the police board, 1 have succeeded in driv-
ing all the gambling hells from the city"
In closing, the a said a politician
might be a good man. That if he does the
peoples business we'll he is deserving of
proper credit and should be considered by
his fellowmen as a good man.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
The Words of Friends Are Genuine
and Reliable.

1t is easy for people to talk about themselves. and
state what they may have done. but it is far better
to have other people speak for you. The words which
follow are the frank expressions of people who know
of what they speak:
Rev. VIM. ". whitney. OF Linlithgo, y. Y, says:
Il have been AFFLICTED more or less for six years past
with malaria. ague, have had pneumonia three times
and have been troubled with bronchial and ca
tarrhal trouble OF the throat. Two years ago l had
the grip, which ran into catarrhal pneumonia. While
l had heard much. and am rejoiced TO say that
l have been practically cured by the use of Duhy's
pure malt Whiskey."
Mr.. John X. Chase. Amesbury. Mass. says: For
some six years past my wife has been suffering from
nervous prostration. For years she was troubled
with insomnia. and nothing recommended by the
most eminent physicians would induce sleep. Under
the advice of physicians she recently tried Dufy's
malt whiskey in small quantities and with the most
satisfactory results. While Mrs. Chase has always
been staunch in her temperance principles and con-
sistent in practice, she has no hesitation in recon-
| mending to invalids who need a gentle stimulant
Dufy's pure malt whiskey."
| E. C. Avila, Of the Brooklyn association for i'm
proving the condition of the poor. says: Il have
used Dufy's malt whiskey for the past two years
having suffered from severe headaches and nervou:
| prostration. / have been very much relieved by th
use of the whiskey and have gained nearly seventeen
| pounds in weight"
the above statements speak for themselves.
