As soon as the president was eli
ected he asked authority to send a
commission to Europe. What for?
To keep the gold standard because
it was blessing? No. to get rid
of it because 1t was curse.
Why should we send commits
sion to Europe to ask other nations
to help us get rid of the gold STAN
darl if it has been blessing? Who
can say that the gold standard is
good and ought to be kept without
condemning the sending of n COM
mission abroad TO get rid of it?
Not only did the president ask
authority to appoint the commiss-
ion, but Congress gave him the au-
thority, and by an almost unani-
nous vote. Republicans, Demo
Gratis, Populists, everybody with
scarcely an exception. voted to give
the authority and then appropria-
ted for the purposes of the COM
mission 100000 of the peoples
money-yes 100000 of the peo-
pies money. Notwithstanding there
was deficit at the time; but we
needed to get rid of the gold stand
ard so badly that we would go into
debt further and pay 100000 to
get rid of it.
Now. 1 am simply calling atfen-
ton to what has been done in this
country. The man who advocates
the gold standard has to do it in
spite of all history of the United
States.
The man who advocates the gold
standard as blessing to this conn
try has to do it against the protest of
80 per cent. of the people as they
voted on election d y, end against
the protest of all the political par
ties that have any strength in this
country. 1t seems to me it ought
to be rather easy thing to defend
bimetallism with SO much on your
side and nothing but look of sur
prise as defense for the gold stand
ard.

Heroism Displayed by Americans In
Cutting the Cables.
PIECES TAKEN FoR RBLIos.
Tho Men Assigned to DO the Perilou,
Work DID Their Duty with Great
Bravery, Regardless OF

Key West, May 31.-Some day, after
the epoch of eagerness of latest news
of the war has passed, somebody will
tell the true story of the cutting OF
the cable at Cienfuegos.
And when that story is told people
will understand more clearly than they
understand now what sort of stu :
Uncle SANS navy is made of. 1t was
theme for Victor Hugo or picture
for MISSIONER that three hours of
heroism, determination and death ia
the bay of Cienfuegos that bright May
morning. The men knew that death
awaited them.
They knew that when the small boats
We're lowered from the ships and then
pulled toward the shore that while
they worked thousand Spaniards
were concealed in the tall grass and
underbrush on the shore waiting to
shower bullets upon them.
Small sections of the cable which
these brave seamen cut that morning
are much sought for souvenirs at Key
West hotel since the warships brought
back the dead and wounded after the
work was done.
Lieutenant C. NJ R. Winslow of the
Nashville, who was in command of the
expedition, came into the hotel after
supper and was soon surrounded by q
group of friends eager to hear the story
of the affair, in which he was the prin-
cipal figure. He had been wounded in
the left hand and his arm was yet In
sling. The facts were learned from
him.
The Marblehead, Nashville and Win
dom were detailed to do the perilous
work. The town of Cienfuegos is stu
ated some distance back from the har-
Dor which winds and twists about be-
tween high hills, completely obscuring
it from ships standing out at sea.
The cable house. which the Amert-
cans designed to destroy. was located
within few feet of the water. Not
far from this, at one side. was light
house, and on the other side an old
blockhouse.
The weekly register. [volume] (Point Pleasant, Va. [W. Va.]) 1862-1909, 1898-06-08

Another mighty crash from the
Nashville and the cable house flew into
the air, torn into numberless frag-
ments. Another crash from the Mar
blehead and the blockhouse was in
ruins. Then this iron storm from the
sea swung around and swept the hill
side. 1t shattered the rocks and trees.
But there came a moments pause
in the awful believing from the ships
and that moment was the fatal one.
Snap, snap, crash from a hundred
different points came the fire from the
Spanish rifles and eight brave men
sank down in the boats. Two were
dead and six were wounded. But the
Spaniards were too late. Already one
cable had been hauled up and $50 fees
cut out of it This was the cable that
ran to Batabano and connected with
Havana.
After the volley had been fired by
the Spaniards the men transferred the
dead and wounded to another boat and
began looking for the other cable.
which ran east to Santiago. This was
soon found ana again under the can
opy of shot and shell from the ships
they worked braveIy on until a section
of so feet had been taken from that
one.
After this another smaller cable run
ming to some local point east was cut.
and Captain General Blanco's last line
of communication with the world was
apparently severed.
Then it was all over and the small
boats were towed back TO the warships
with random shots from the shore fol-
lowing them.
