to following the crooked lead OF such
party w-eckers? We think not. The
editor makes serious misstatement in
referring to the fusion proposition made
the populist conference committee by
the democrats. He says they offered
among other things to endorse the pop
ulist nominee for the legislaturei in Gun

offered to place his resignation in the

to be used against him il the democrats
failed to keep any OF the promises made
in their offer OF fusion. That is unqual-
itiedly false. No such offer was ever
made or discussed.
The majority OF tho delegates in the
POI rulist convention firmly and fully be-
l;eve that Mr.. Henry would prove to be
a stronger and more acceptable candidate
than Stevens; that he would poll more
votes, that he would be unassailable
. ther in reputation or ability toGiscbarge
the duties Of the position. and they not on
~ believed but knew, that MIR. Henry was
a populist in whom the party reposed
the highest confidence. Hence they very
n .turally reasoned that be would make
better candidate, especially in the pop
ulist convention, than his democratic
competitor, and his nomination followed.
A final word in reference to the fusion
proposed by the democatic committee.
They did not. and did not pretend to have
the power to do what was offered to ie
done in the proposition Of fusion, in
which they expressed a willingness to
endorse the popuIist candidate for sen.

This belief is shared by all Cubans-
that the Maine was blown up by u

'As to our reasons for thinking so:
First, there is the fact that the night
before the Maine explosion the AL
phonso, which had been anchored
near, was moved to a safe distance
away.
Second, the fact that not once
since the day OF the explosion has any
seaman or marine from tho Alphonso
been allowed to so ashore. The only
inference is that the officials are
afraid the sailors might become intox-
icated and talk toe much"

"The flying squadron is detained at

One Is the necessity for repairing the

The minister of marine, Admiral

preparations. He wants the country
to understand that they are intended
only to meet any, emergencies in the
purely defensive and pacific limo of
conduct all along proclaimed by tho

THE papers say nothing OF army
preparations.
The Spanish newspapers advocate
further strengthening OF the naval
squadron in Cuba SO as not to be
caught at Il d sadvauta.e in case OF

the 'ostentatious Preparations OF the

to make similar preparations.

Senior Polo Y Bernabe, the Spanish
