With That Of q Month Ago.
New YORK. Aug. 10.-According to
advices receiAed from Havana by the
Cuban junta Captain General Bianco
appreciates the fact that he must soon
withdraw himself and his forces from
the island of Cuba. He has assumed a
mildness Of demeanor which compares
strangely with his previous bombastic
attitude and frequently expressed de.
termination to hold out in Havana to
the death, and he is treating the insur.
gents with great consideration. In q
recent proclamation he made known to
the Spanish people Of Cuba that Spain,
through the Intervention Of foreign
powers, had been forced to the disgrace.

there would be no more war and nd
further use for soldiers. He offered .
pardon to all Cuban political prisoners,
and more than $50 were released in

two years. Since his return
from California, where he wen

been gradually failing. Abou'

suited in such feebleness that
he was taken to his bed, and
his weakness has grown until
the end, which came this morn.
ing. His father, Thomas r.
Briggs, arrived from Howard
Lake, Mimi, this morning and
was recognized by his son.
One of the last utterances of
the dying man was to his wife,
to whom he said just before
the end came, CHOW, | want
you to get some rest" He
was considerate of others to the
end, to the abnegation of self.
The news of the death of the
governor cast an additional
gloom over the residents Of the

many cases from the fearful
con1agration of last night.
And although the end was not
unexpected it was a shock when
the news came.
The governor passed away
peacefully and without pain.
There was no death struggle.
Death seemed merely a suspen-
sion Of the vital functions, ac-
complished in the easiest man
ner possible.
Governor Frank A. Briggs
was born in Hennepin county,
Mimi, in a suburb Of the pres
ent site of Minneapolis, Sept.
Is, 1858, being just 40 years
of age at the time Of his death.
He was educated in the com
schools Of Minnesota, and
was married to Mamie r..
Meek, in 1876. He was a
printer and newspaper man in
his younger days, being at one
time editor Of the Howard
Lake Advocate. He came to
North Dakota in 1881, and
worked for q time as a book
keeper. He was afterwards
postmaster at Mandan a.-d

NEW HAMPSHIRE REPUBLICANS.
Rollins Nominated for Governor
Patriotic Platform Adopted.


The New Hampshire republican state
convention at Concord. N H, yesterday
was one of the largest. ever held in that
state, more than 700 delegates presenting
credentials. Frank w. Rollins of Con-
cord was nominated for governor.
The platform reaffirIns the financial plank
of the st. Louis platform of 1886, and COM
mends the administration of President Nc
Kinley and the successful conduct of the
war with Spain, which, the resolutions de-
clare. was "a war promoted by the nobest
sentiments of humanity"
The platform says further that the war
has buried in oblivion that pesSinlism
which for years has deprecated American
spirit and honor; it has obiiterated sec
tionalism and cemented the union of
states as never before in our history, and
it has brought about a better understand
Ing between the two great English-speak-
ing nations of the globe, whose united ac-
ton will contribute to the maintenance
in the twentieth century Of universal
peace among civilized nations"
The platform continues as follows:
I'VE approve of the increase of the
navy, the upbuiding of our merchant ma
rine, the enlargement of the regular army
to meet the present requirements of the
country, the construction of a canal con-
meeting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
the annexation of Hawaii and Porto Rico
the provision for q free and stable gov
ernment for Cuba, and its ultimate annexa
ton.
while reaffirming the Monroe doctrine
we favor such disposition of the Philip
pines as will best promote the growing
commercial and political interests of the
United States, eXtiLguish the sovereignty
of Spain. and make good our obligations
to the people of those islands"

turned to the auditor; then we could al
ways depend upon the accuracy of the cou-
pons, while with our limited force tb.. is
Impossible, as the clerks who enter the bills

Taylor to Succeed Himself.

The democrats of the first district, in
session at Jackson, Ala, yesterday NOM
mated George Washington Taylor for Con-
gress to succeed himself. He was op-
posed by Hauris Taylor, ex-minister to
Spain.
1t is said that the Wash. Taylor men
refused to give the contesting delegations
from Choctaw and Washington counties a
hearing, these delegations favoring Han
mis- Taylor and they and the Mobile dele
cation refused to participate in the con-
vention, which is claimed to have nom
mated Wash Taylor with twenty-four
votes-not a majority. There will no
doubt be a bitter fight over the result.
