PAPER MONEY DAY.
At the Omaha Monetary Conference Gen.
A. j. Warner Advocated an Irredeem-
able Currency-Fowler Replied.

Omaha, Neb, Sept 16.-The third
and last day of the national currency
convention began with paper in sup
port of an unlimited issue of irredeem-
able currency by the government by
Gen. A. j. Warner, president Of the
American Bimetallic union, Gen.
Warner, in speaking of the defense of
falling prices made by the gold stand
ard advocates, said he concurred in
their opinions, except as to farm prod
ucts, for which the labor cost had not
decreased, and with the further quail.
fcation that there had been no reduc-
ton in the fixed charges such as trans
portation rates, debts and taxes, A
reply was made to him by Congress-
man Fowler of New Jersey, who sup
ported bank currency. Mr. Fowler
said the only logical position the silver
men could take was that of Gen. War
ner; that if they could legislate value
into silver they could legislate value
into paper and make it redeem itself.

BLANCo CAN'T GET OVER IT.
Hopes "the Arrogant Nation" VIII
Receive Its inst Deserts.

New York, Sept 16. "A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says: For the
first time since the peace protocol was
signed Capt. Gen. Blanco has consent
ed to speak of the war This is what
he said:
ain naturally inclined to be charitable and
I am incapable of hating anyone, but confess
to feeling of deep resentment against the
United States whose conduct toward Spain
in declaring war against u.s. without motive or
pretext just at the time when they were re-
ceiving from US the highest marks OF our
friendship and respect can never be condemned
too severely.
It ought never to be forgotten that just when
the United States we're announcing their In
tenton of coming to Cuba to establish n Arm
government. they were in reality directing
hostilities principally against Porto Rico and
the Philippines
Since the beginning of this war II has been
my heartfelt desire as commander-ln-chief
of the army, for the day to arrive when could
match my armed strength against theirs and
die II necessary, among the ruins of Havana,
II fortune were not favorable but was unable
to realize my hope,
My government has signed the peace proto-
col, and her decision must be complied with.
Nevertheless, l have an eternal confidence in
divine justice, and have therefore hope that
this arrogant nation will receive its just de-
serts, and God knows that the day when this
act Of national despoliation is accomplished
and the stars and stripes float from the walls
Of Havana that day may perhaps mark the be-
ginning of the decay of the American nation.
Before it is all over wish to put myself on
record as having no dislike for the army of the
United States On the contrary, l have the
highest appreciation Of their noble and cour-
npnnns hehnVinr.

SENATOR ALLEN PRESIDED.
Wednesday Was sllvor's Day ht the Omahs
Monetary COnvontIon--The SENATOR
Says Money Ia Creation OF Law.

Omaha, Neb, Sept 15-In taking
the chair to preside for the silver day at
the monetary conference, Senator w.
V. Allen, of Nebraska, voiced hearty
welcome on behalf Of his state to the
champions Of all sides of the money
question who had met to discuss the
merits Of their respective claims. AL
luding to Horace Whites reference to
his speech against the Cleveland bond
issue, he said: II said then and say
now that there was not the slightest
authority in the statutes Of the coun-
try for that bond issue, but American
people are too generous as well as just
to stand upon n technicality and they
will pay them dollar for dollar for the
money received.
~ cannot conceive how q man can
be gold monometallist who wants
justice and to see men enjoy the fruits
of their labors, If man desires to
see small volume Of money and the
resultant spoliation of business by the
creditor class / can understand why
he should defend the gold standard.
/ wish this debate could be repeated
in every city, village and hamlet in
the country, but to me it Is hard to
conceive that there should be any con-
troversy over what constitutes money.
Money is creation Of law, and this
has been the doctrine OF all authori-
ties ON finance from Aristotle to the
present day."

MAssO TO HIS ARMY.
AddreSs--PrAises America but Hints
at an Independent Government.

Washington, Sept 17.-Senor Que.
sada, of the Cuban junta, has re-
ceived an address to the Cuban
army, issued by President Masso, of
the Cuban republic. After speaking
of Cuba's long struggle for independ-
ence and the final triumph of her
cause, Masso says:
the moment the cry OF February "a was given.
rose alarmed, casting its eyes across the small
sea which separates us toward this bloody and
agitated land. Moved by our commissions, the
United States could not continue to live the
pleasant life which their prosperity guaranteed
them and which other countries indiffer-
ent to our misfortunes have continued to
live The United States gave in their cities
hospitality to our people; in their manufactor-
les our rifles were made; from their shores
came numerous expeditions; their press, with
immense and constant clamor, called for JUS
tice, praising our triumphs, publishing our suf-
ferings, encouraging us with their sympathy
and promise of help, while 1t protested against
and condemned the atrocities of Spain.
American diplomacy drove the infamous
Weyler out and terminated the criminal policy
of concentration; the United States has con-
tinued its great work Of humanity and justice,
sacrificing its own peace Offering It's own
treasure and giving its own blood, constituting
itself the executioner OF it's verdict by which
the empire Of Spain is forever extinguished
from the Antilles, and Cuba becomes sovereign
in the enjoyment Of her independence
Every Cuban heart, therefore, instead of Bit
terness and sorrow, must be proud of having
done its duty and grateful to its protector.

MILES SUGGESTS A WAY OUT.
Iment from Twelve TO Eight, Allowing
About 500 Men In Each to $40 Home.

Washington, Sept 16.-Gen. Miles
has submitted to the president sugges-
tions concerning the volunteers still
in the service, which will strongly
appeal to them. He has recommended
that the 100 volunteer regiments now
in the field be reduced from ~ compa-
MES to eight each and that the maxi
mum strength of each company be
changed from 1O6 to 20 men. This
plan, if adopted, says the general, will
allow at least 500 men in each regi-
ment to be mustered out, and yet the
organization of each will be effective
and in case of need, the maximum
strength can be easily secured by re-
enlistment. All the homesick volun-
teers who are anxious to get away ca
be sent home and there will still re-
main enough volunteers with the req
ular army to perform the garrison duty
in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines, as well as for home defense.

A TALK WITH AGUHNALDo.
InsurRent Leader Thinks AmcrIoA Has Ful-
filed Her Mission aud Should Now
Withdraw from Manila.

Manila, Sept 1.-THE Philippine
general assembly was inaugurated at
Malolos Thursday with great enthu-
siasm. There were thousands OF Wis
itors from the provinces, and great
display was made. Aguinaldo, at nine
o'clock in the morning, entered the
hall of the convent recently occupied
by the Spanish local government
The correspondent off the Associated
press had private interview with
Aguinaldo, who is extremely unwilling
to comprise himself with the natives
He said that majority of the Filipinos
had been struggling for freedom for
years and centuries and that they now
believe that object has been attained.
Aguinaldo protested entire ignorance
of the AUTONOMOUS system in vogue in
the British colonies, of protectorates
and of American state autonomy. He
refused to discuss the American army
and protested his undying gratitude to
the Americans. He said they had come
to thePhilippines to fight the Spaniards
only, and, now that they had finished
the task, it was to be expected that
they would return to America. He
was unwilling TO believe that the
Americans would demand a reward
for an act of humanity. The Filipino
leader expressed himself confident that
the newly founded government would
build navy ultimately. In the mean
time, he said, the great nation should
protect and aid a young nation, instead
of grabbing her territory. If the
Americans should refuse to withdraw,
the national assembly, he said, must
decide the policy to be pursued--a pol
icy which he declined to forecast.
An Anti guinaIdO Rebellion.
New York, Sept. ia dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says: The in-
surgents changed their plans last
night and instead of evacuating all
the suburbs of the city, as Gen. Otis
ordered, they moved from Ermita to
Santana, where they appear to be con-
centrating in strong force.
1t is reported, although it has not
been confirmed, that Aguinaldo has
ordered that this place be held at any
cost. 1t is more likely move on the
part of Rio Pillar to embarrass the die
tator. The former rebel chief, Isabelle
Ertacho, who was condemned to death
by Aguinaldo for treaehery in May
and was reprieved and escaped, is
leading 5000 men against Aguinaldo.
Artacho is backed by priests.
