LETTER FROM HAVANA

DEAR AUNT FAM should have
written to you upon receipt Of your
letter containing the news of the sale,
but the day 1 received it I left for
Cuba, going direct to Havana and the
scene OF the terrible disaster to the
Maine. This, Of course, is surprise
to you, but having an opportunity to
visit that city and see with my own
eyes the terrible scenes following the
wreck of the Maine without expense,
/ avsiled myself Of the opportunity and
made the trip. ] went on special
dispatch boat carrying reporter for
the New York Herald and a diver,
leaving here at midnight on Wednes-
day, the 18th, and arriving at Havana
the following day at noon. I shall re-
member the trip, pleasant and sad
one, for many months to come. The
trip was a rough one, though through
the peculiar dispensation of a kind
Providence Il know no other reason)
l was spared the extremely incon-
venience of sea-sickness. After pass
ing beneath the frowning battlements
of Old Moro and steaming under the
prov of a large Spanish man-of-war
lying in the harbor, our eyes were
greeted by the mutilated remains of
the once United States battleship
Maine. 1t was sad sight to one who
had seen her in all her pride and
glory, now mangled, mutilated,
bloody corpse. 1t made our blood
boil to see that from the mast where
once floated the Stars and Stripes, the
buzzsrds lighted to gloat their eyes be-
fore descending to the feast await.
ing them below. You may think
that / am exaggerating, but tits the
disgraceful truth. We arrived there
some thirty-six hours after the catss-
trophe and remained there twenty
four hours, and at the time of arriv-
ing and up to the time of departing,
no attempt had been made to recover
the imprisoned bodies of the dead
sailors, though in shallow water, and
perhaps some were above the water.
A cloud of buzzards circled above and
lighted upon the ship, searching
through the wreck at will for the re-
mains of those not already recovered,
and none molested them. Disgraceful
as 1t is to write 1t, saw them devour-
ing the bodies of lost seamen. It |
made our cheeks blush with shame to
ackno Wedge ourselves the citizens of
so cowardly Government. Words
could not express the indignation and
shame Of the Americans in Havana
that such state Of affairs should ak
lst and all because the Spanish Gov
ernment had taken possession Of the !

THE SAME ISSUE FOR 1000

| LIE DAM l. IOOOL ION l9ON
Secretary of the Treasury Gage
delivered an address on Friday
evening before the Chamber Of
Commerce at Cleveland, Ohio. In
referring to financial matters he
said:
"Most of US had cherished the
hope that the financial issues
which have so long vexed the
country had been settled by the
political decree Of 1896. Most Of
us had believed that the peoples
voice, having once been decisive
ly uttered, those who represented
that voice would be left free to
peaceably adjust the financial pol
icies of the government in a man.
ner consistent with the warrant
they had received. Events and
conditions easy recognizable now
60 to show that such is not the
fact. One branch Of the national
legislature, comparatively unafec-
ted in its personnel by the cleo
ton Of 1896, is evidently not SYM
pathetic to that reasonable and
logical result. OF various polite
al faiths, the majority Of members
in that body have the power to
obstruct, perhaps unite to defeat,
the last expression or the popular
will.
"More than this. the evidences
are strong that the minority will
force a motion to reconsider, in
1900, the peoples verdict of 500.
We must be ready to vote again
upon the main issue. We need
not fear its results. 1t is the ma
ture Of truth, as it is Of light, to
spread its benefcient rays. And
the virtue Of our cheap money ad-
vocates, Of fiat propagandists, and
Of revolutionary orators, will not
be overcome by stale appeals to
enter the path ofinfamy and ruin.
Nevertheless the onset of the coal |
ition between revolutionizing de-
mocracy, silver Republicans and
fiat teaching populism, will be
pnshed with both vigor and zeal.
Already the leaders are bringing
their skirmishers into line for the
Congressional contensts Of next
autumn. In recent appeal, sep
arately issued-yet by indisputable
signs jointly conceived-the coali-
ion formulated the catch-words
or the new campaign,
Gage admits by this utterance
hat the battle for plutocracy has
lot been won: 1896 was only
'kirmish and the battle will be
ought in 1900 when bimettalism
will win.

In this issue appears the an
nouncement of Hon. John E.
Garner Of our neighbor county,
Clark, for the Democratic nomin-
alton for Congress in this, the
Tenth District. Mr.. Garner is
known to the district. Having
been in many sections on the
stump, his powers as a DICTATOR,
his knowledge Of party measures
and the wants Of his people, and
his aggressiveness are before the
voters. His home paper speaks
of him as the one man whose
mission is to lead a wandering
people into the land Of promise.
Should he be nominated he would
make it warm for any opponent.
We ask our people to give SER
ious consideration to the claims of
Mr.. Gamer.

Competitor: 81 just wanted to tell
you that I know the Advocate is
getting the city printing" Of
course, why not, the ADVOCATE is
a Democratic journal, did the
party fighting, does not hold any
office Of the city and is therefore
not precluded from contracting
with the city for its printing.
Every body about here either
knows or thinks we have the city
printing because he knows we
never fail to support DEMOCRATIC
nominees. The present admins
tration realize what we are to the
party, besides they know we have
the circulation that reaches those
interested in all city and county
matters. Ofcourse we do the city
printing.

who died April in Charleston, W. Va.
had made General Horatio G. King, of
Brooklyn, her sole legatee. 1t was pre-

fortune. because she had been married
for four years TO Colonel Gustav Pabst.

whom she was divorced in 1888

Mather's legal adviser for fifteen years
gave a simple explanation of her action.
Miss Mather." he said, left nothing ex-
cept debts and the scenery used in the
production of Shakespeare's "Cymbel ne"
at the time of her death. This is worth
about 500 or $500 Miss Mather lost
good deal of money in the production of
'Cymbelinc.
Il am informed that John Finlayson, of
Detroit. Miss Mather's father. intends to
contest the will In that case | hardly
