Startling Report of Their Prox-
unity to Cuba
THEY MAY BE OFF SANTIAGO

New York, May ia despatch
to the Journal from st. Thomas
asserts that three Spanish war
ships passed Morant Point last
night
1t further states that four more
Spaniards were sighted this morn
ing off Mole st. Nicholas.
Morant Point is the eastern ex-
tremity of Jamaica. ST. Nicholas
is on the north west coast of Hayti,
and if this report is true, it would
seem that the Spanish have slip
ped between Admiral SIMPSONS
feet to the south and Commodore
Sohley's squadron on the north
and are concentrating on the south
coast of Cuba.

Heart Rending Scenes Witnessed at the De-
pot and on the Streets
TEARS MINGLED WITH THE CHEERS

Denver, 3 p. m.-The first regi-
ment Colorado volunteers has
started for San Francisco. The
first train has just pulled out of
the Denver g. Rio Grande depot
amid salvo of cheers from the
largest crowd ever gathered in this
city.
The sorrowful side of the depart
ure of our state soldiers was very
observable, however, both at the
depot and along the line of march.
Mothers and sisters and wives
wept bitterly as they saw the faces
of loved ones fade in the passing
ranks and reflected that they might
never see them again. Some heart
rending scenes were Witnessed.
Many of the boys had hard work
to keep straight facessEsas they
marched. The Denver companies
were of course most affected.
The regiment will pass through
Florence not earlier than $50 this
evening and it will probably be 8
o'clock.

There was narrow escape from
killing in town last night.
Deputy Marshal Powell declined
to comply with an order to throw
up his hands and fired upon the
man who tried to make him do SO.
AS result the town is in posses
sion of a 3S calibre revolver and a
hat with bullet hole through it.
1t was after l O'Clock this morn
ing when Powell, while passing
through the alley between Pixies
Peak and Santa Fe avenues and
Main and Second streets, saw
someone fumbling at the rear en-
trance to McCreery & Widerfelt's
drug store.
The would-be burglar saw him
too and promptly leveled pistol
at his head, ordering him to throw
up his hands. Marshal Powell
threw up one hand with his revol-
yer in it and fred. The robber
fred too. Three or four shots
were exchanged and the robber
escaped in the darkness, dropping
his pistol and his hat. The latter
had a bullet hole clean through it.
Powell did not recognize his
assailant.

door bears marks of small Jenny
or similar instrument having been
used to try and force it open.

TO MUZZLE "YELLOW" PRESS
Cabinet Considers the Question
of Stricter Censorship

Washington, May 1.-THE cab
met discussed the question of press
censorship today. 1t was agreed
that something radical must be
done to prevent the premature
publication of government plans
and naval and military secrets.
The effectiveness of many plans
has already been ruined by "yel-
low" journals.
The cabinet could not agree as
yet upon the method of suppress
sion.

coughs, catarrhal affections, general

Bryan and His Party.

The editorial article in the New
York Journal antagonizing the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Bryan for the presiden-
cy in 1900, while not to be regarded
in itself of paramount importance,
or as the expression of new idea,
is very significant, and is indicative
of a turn of sentiment against the
the assumption of party leadership
by Mr.. Bryan. The signed article
of the editor of the Journal seems to
be put on as feeler, but put out
with confidence that it will strike
responsive chord in the popular
Democratic mind, and perhaps with
a purpose of inaugurating a vigo
rous fight for change not only in
the leadership of the party, but also
for a change in the party shibboleth.
The Journal has been conspicuous
ly aggressive party paper, and has
made a successful bid for political
popularity along the lines in conso
nance with the Bryan movement Of
1896, and it's signal of departure
from the support of Mr.. Bryan and
from rigid adherence to the imprac-
tical Is to ratio, indicates a strong
belief that there will not be lacking
popular support of this change
Many of the old Democratic leaders
and politicians who have Loyalty
supported Mr.. Bryan, and would
doubtless as Loyalty support him
again if his leadership were deemed
necessary to the party, have never
adopted the notion that he is the
only man who must be followed
through thick and thin, through
success and failure, until he should
voluntarily relinquish the claim tc
leadership. Very many Democrats
who supported the candidate and
platform of 1896 and who claim to be
unalterably true friends of silver,
have realized that the demand for
an arbitrary ratio of Is to 1, without
regard to other considerations was q
handicap upon the free coinage move.
ment. It is perhaps in view Of
these facts, and with the purpose o.
anticipating a change of sentiment
in regard to leadership and modi

has sounded the note of chance
