N4TYON4L CURRENCY CONVENTION Address by George Fred Williams of
 Massachusetts.

Omaha, Sept. 14-The principal speakers at the afternoon session of the national currency convention were George Fred Williams of Boston and Congressman Fowler of Elizabeth, N. J. MT. Williams, who spoke first, at tributed his conversion to the silver volved in what was to him g. great question. He pictured a gloomy indus trial and agricultural condition in Eu- rope, quoting from the reports of Sec- retary Dredge of the English labor commission and statements made by M. Moline of France and others. Briefly, MT. Williams said:
 ''rhe English royal commission of 1893 reported decline in farm property of 50 per cent, a heigara of farm labor CTS, and predicted that if the general fall in prices continued ruination would confront the Agrarians' interests. Ten of the fourteen members of that com- mission concluded that the remedy is the restoration of the exchange between the two metals. in this country the boasted prosperity of the north and east is based on the depression of farms and plantations of the west and south. The effect of an appreciated money, re- quiring more products for given sum, increased the burden of debt. Prices had fallen 40 per cent in 1895 and have continued to fall ever since.
 tJ,, of fo1I Ii1,rr T hn1i in a protective tariff, but the gold stan dard is a leveler that passes over every wall. If it is not dishonest to lower prices by legislation at the expense of the debtor, is it dishonest to raise them by legislation for the relief of the debt- or? We are charged with being repu- diators, but any system of policy de- manded by the best interests of man. kind is not dishonest. The Congression- al Record is full of prophecies of what would follow the establishment of the gold standard, the contraction of the money volume and the appreciation of the dollar.'
 Joseph Sheldon of Connecticut upheld the quantative theory of money. Pres ident Thomas E. Wills of the Kansas agricultural college discussed the stat utes of academic opinions on economic questions generally. He said wealth dominated institutions of learning, and cited the case of Professor Andrews of Brown university to show that college professors dare not teach views contra ry to the interests of the rich. Then Congressman Fowler occupied the plat form for half an hour with a defense of the gold standard.

WRECKED IN MID-oCE4N.
A Hurrican Struck the Norwegian Ship
 America Crew Saved.

"A HufricuM Struek the Norwegian snip
 America Crew Saved.
 Boston, Sept. 14.-The Norwegian ship America, Captain Dahl, from Quebec for Greenock, Scotland, with a large cargo of lumber, was wrecked in mid ocean by hurricane on September 4, her crew of eighteen men being rescued by the British steamer Marengo, which landed her transport. The America left Quebec on August 19 and had good weather until September i, when gale from the eastward sprung up, and by night was blowing a hurricane. The ship labored hard until some of her stays parted and her main and mizzen- topmast crashed over the side. The fall of the heavy spars started her deck load of lumber, and in the heavy seas she soon began to strain and after wards sprang aleak. Getting into the trough of the sea, heavy waves came aboard, which shook the cargo still more until by noon of the fourth she was waterlogged and a wreck. The crew, all of whom had long before talk en to the rigging, set a signal of dis tress, and just before sunset the Ma rengo hove in sight and discerned her signals. The ship had drifted consid- erably during the gale, so that when the Marengo came in sight she was in latitude 4S.51 north and longitude 3422 west.
 The work of rescue by the crew of the Marengo began at once, and all though a heavy sea, with mass of wreckage hanging over the side, made the work particularly dangerous, seven men were at length taken off, while Captain Dahl with the balance of the crew, managed to launch and man the only remaining boat on the ship. By dark the America had been abandoned as derelict and the crew were safe on board the Marengo. The America was a full-rigged ship of 1859 tons net register, and was twenty-nine years old. Her home port was Christiana Norway.
 The crew will be cared for by the Norwegian consul in this city and later sent to their homes. The steamer Ces- trian, which arrived here yesterday signalled the Marengo, which reported the rescue, although signal letters of the wrecked vessel were made out to read almost like those of the Norwe-j gian bark Alpha.

The capital is Kingston, and the other one or two small towns or villages are of little note. In 1861 the importation of coolies from India was commenced, 800 of them having been brought to the island in that year. Shocks of earthquake are frequent; hurricanes occur at intervals, and the violent rains occasionally damage the crops and roads.

4 CUBAN MANIFESTO.
Council of the So-Called Provisional
 Government Issues One

Councti or the So-Called Provisional
 Government Issues One.
 Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 14.-The council of the so-ealled provisional gov- ernment of the republic of Cuba rep resented by Senor Bartolome Masso, president; Senor Capole, vice president, and Senor Font, Senor Alaman and Senor Moreno de la Tore, secretaries, met at Santa Cruz on September 1 and formulated manifesto to the Cuban people, with an order to the military commanders of the Cuban army, both of which have been promulgated The manifesto, which is an elaborate doc- ument touches on the history of the movement for Cuban independence and the principles upon which the Cuban people have fought for their liberty. It proceeds in part as follows:
 ''The peace preliminaries have been signed, and the government of the United States has imposed upon Spain an obligation to renounce all her rights of sovereignty over the island of Cuba, and to evacuate the territory imme- diately. The cessation of hostilities has also been agreed upon. Though the principal object of our revolution has been maintained, that is, the de- struction of Spanish dominion, the work of this counsil is not yet at an end; for the Cuban republic-the ideal for which we have fought-has not yet been constituted. Now that hostil- ities have ceased and Spain has re- nouned her sovereignty, it is the duty of this council to set before the Cuban people the feelings and purposes of the men who made the revolution. We ayWays felt confident that through our own perseverance we would in the long run destroy Spanish domination, but we must acknowledge that an in- definite prolongation of the struggle would have been destructive to our wealth and property.
 We were abandoned by the world, some nations ignoring our real condi- tion, considering us an obstinate and ungovernable people, because we did not accept the cajoleries and f1atteries with which Spain tried to soothe our just anger. This was our situation when the people of the United States, their government and congress came to our rescue and took upon their should CTS the task of delivering us at once from an unbearable yoke, as our suffer- ings could not be endured or permitted longer. They have accomplished their programme brilliantly. What is more, they have liberated, in one way or another, from the rule of Spain, all peo- pies oppressed by her. The liberation is definite and irrevocable. Spain has been expelled from this hemisphere.
 We are grateful. In nations as well as individuals, gratitude is ennobling. As we begin now our national life, we more than any other people must be jealous of our national honor It is, therefore, the duty of this council to explain to the people of Cuba what, in it's opinion, are our duties toward the United States and toward ourselves and what are the rules that ought to direct

our conduct. When, after long strug- gle, the United States congress recog- nized the right of the people of Cuba to be free and independent and ordered the Spanish forces to withdraw from the island, no Cuban government was recognizedhi but the one we had consti- tuted though not recognized, was not opposed and has not been opposed. No steps have been taken to dislodge it from the place where it exercised it's functions nor has it been considered an illegitimate authority which events have dissolved or destroyed for the good of the people of Cuba.
 Tt could not be otherwise. The United States could not interfere in our struggle for the sake of what our ene- mics might consider a political faction. The American government could inter- vene for the benefit of the whole people of Cuba, part of whom, being under Spanish rule, was not free to express a purpose or opinion. The people of the United States have all along appreciat- ed the fact that the majority of the people of Cuba is in agreement with our principles for the motto of the United States government has been the same as our own--absolute independ- ence for Cuba. Under these conditions the Americans could not take hostile attitude toward us.
 These considerations have convinced us that we should not dissolve and that the powers we have received from an assembly elected by the people un- der arms should not vanish. On the contrary, we feel that we should remain as nucleus and guide for those who have vested such power in us. We have, therefore, decided to call to- gether another assembly which will de- ternine our future course.''
 In conclusion the manifesto gives a number of reasons why the proposed assembly should be convened and some government or another chosen, mot with the character of a government as yet, but as an official representation to those Cubans who fought against Spain and of those who, in the cities under Spain's control and in foreign countries, have helped and supported them"

THE COLON,S ACCOUNT BOOK
Picked Up on the Beach Near Middle
 town, R. I.

Newport, R. l., Sept. 1.-The account book of the paymaster of the Cristobal Colon was picked up on the beach near Middletown by Philip Pecgham of that town to-day. The record in the book was carried up to June 1, 1898, and the balance showed that the officer had in hand 43362 pesetas, or $S,672. It is thought that the paymaster carried the book off the Colon after she surrend- cred, but threw it overheard from the Harvard when she was off this port on her way to Portsmouth with the Span ish prisoners, and that it was swept in- shore by an ocean current.

THE BRIDGEPORT MYSTERY
POLICE SAID TO HAVE RECEITED
 4 TANGTBLE CLUE.

It is Considered Important and May
 Put the Authorities on the Track of
 the Murderer ImmediateIy-The I'm
 formation Comes from Mattewnn, N.
 Y.-Man Appears at That Place Having
 Driven from Bridgeport.
 Bridgeport, Sept. 14.-At o'clock this afternoon it was learned that the po- lice had received the first tangible in- formation affecting the case of the Wo- man fished out of the Yellow Mill pond in sections. It is an important clue and may put the police on the track of the criminal immediately. The in- formation that the police are guarding so zealously came this afternoon by wire from Mattewan, N. Y.
 The story printed in a New York pa- per that the murdered woman is Miss Bertha Mellish, the young daughter of a Connecticut clergyman, who mysteri- ously disappeared from Mt. Holyoke seminary some months ago, cannot be verified, but all the facts tend to posi- lively disprove it.
 Poughkeepsie, N Y, Sept. 14.-A stranger drove into the village of Mat teWan from the east to-day. His horse was jaded and he tried in vain to trade the beast off at a livery stable The man left his team at the stable and went away. A search of the wagon re- yealed the fact that it was from Bridgeport, Conn. Under the seat were found an empty cologne bottle with the name of F. s. Booth of Bridgeport. druggist, blown in it. A case contain ing syringe for hypodermic injections with a small vial of medicine, a couple of unsettled collars marked B 2501, size l67a, pair of cuffs marked Beers'' and a pump for initiating the tires of the wagon. It was suspected that the man was connected with the Bridgeport mystery and Chief of Police Mosher telephoned the facts to the chief of po- lice of Bridgeport. Mosher says Bridgeport told him that the man was all right so he decided not to appre- bend him. Later the man returned to the stable and drove away and it is said went to Newburgh, where he started for New York with his team on a boat.A

QUEEN REGENT SIGNS PROTOCOL. Premier sagasta Compelled to Close the
 COrtcs.


 Madrid, Sept. 1.-The queen regent signed the protocol bill this evening" The government had intended the cortes to sit untifsan indemnity bill for the suspension of the constitutional guarantees had been passed, but the threatened agitation on the part of General Weyler and others, together with the evidence of divisions in both the liberal and conservative parties, convinced Senor Sagasta of the advisa- bi1ity of closing down debates which would have hindered the free progress of the peace negotiations The cortes will be next convened to ratify the final treaty of peace.
 It is expected that the Spanish peace commissioners will be appointed with out delay. A painful impression has been caused here by a statement made by the Pals that the United States in- tends to demand $20,000,0O0 indemnity in behalf of American citizens who hve suffered through the instruction in Cuba. The Spanish peace commits sioners will strongly oppose this, it is claimed, but fears prevail that the United States will become pitiless and press it's advantage to the utmost.
 London, Sept. 15.-The Madrid corre- respondent of the Daily Mail says: 'The politicians for the most part fa- vor an entire renunciation of the Phil ippines in exchange for economic ad- vantages.
