selves in property. thrift, economy,

have so prepared ourselves as race
We are going to ask that in every part
OF this country you accord us the same

you now extend to all classes and con-

Der Of false impressions concerning the
Cuban insurgents. "In all of the dis
agreements and so-called riots" says
he, "I never saw one Cuban soldier.
They are orderly and peaceablc and not
given to quarreling. All reports of
trouble between our army and the Gu

which General Lawton has won among
the inhabitants of Cuba within his
jurisdiction is attested by the fact that
the business men Of Santiago, in CO.

friends, are circulating a petition to
President Mckinley praying that Cen

Not On to the Utah Republican
BuncO Game.
WANT GOLD STANDARD
FULLY ENDORSE SECRETARY
CAGES FINANCIAL PLAN.
Mondel Nominated For Congress and
De Forest Richards For Governor
Missouri Democrats For Bryan
and Silver-Republicans Forced
Into the War By Democrats.

Douglas, Wyo., Aug. 1.-THE Republican
state convention, after two recesses, was
called TO order at 2:SO p. m. and the report
of the committee on resolutions was read
and unanimously adopted. The resolu-
lions reaffirm the national declarations
made at ST. Louis in 1896. The financial
plank is as follows:
1.-The financial policy of the Republican
party, having brought prosperity to the
entire country and given us a place among
the nations of the earth and enabled US
to conduct successfully a foreign war, we
unhesitatingly reaffirm the financial plank
of the platform as expressed by the ma
tional convention at st. Louis.
The platform endorses the twin meas
ures of the Republican party, protection
and prosperity approves the Dingley
tariff law, supports the administration in
its vigorous prosecution of the war
against Spain; praises the country s
heroes, approves Hawaiian annexation
and favors construction of the Nacara-
guam canal.
Upon territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT the
platform says: I'VE congratulate the
country that President Mckinley is fully
able to pursue a policy upon the declara-
once maintain the dignity and honor of
our nation and bring prosperity to the
islands which will come under our con-
troll or protection.
The state administration is heartily en-
dorsed
Following the adoption of the platform,
Frank w. Mondell for congress, and De
Forest Richards for governor were named
by reclamation.
After a short recess the convention COM
pleted the ticket by nominating f. Chat
terton for secretary of state; Leloy Grant
for auditor: T. 7. Tynon for suDerinten-
for treasurer. and Jesse Knight for as
SOcidte Justice supreme court.

MISSOURI DEMOCRATS
Declare For Silver, William J. Bryan
and the War.

Springfield, Mo-. Aug. 1.-THE Demo-
cratic state convention came to an end
shortly after II o'clock tonight. having
nominated the following ticket: For
judge of the supreme court Qong term),
William C. Marshall of St. Louis for
judge ~ the supreme court (Short term.
Leroy 3. Valiant of St. Louis; for state
superintendent of public schools William
7. Darlington of Greene county; for rail-
road and warehouse commissioner, Will
lam e. McCully of Macon county The
platform as reported by the committee
was adopted without change, a synopsis
of which follows:
The resolutions begin with a re-endorse-
ment of the Democratic national platform
adopted at Chicago in 1896. and re-
newed demand for the free coinage of s.l
YER and gold at the ratio of TO to l, with
out waiting for the consent of any other
nation. Confidence in William ]. Bryan as
the leading exponent OF these principles
censured for the non-enforcement of anti
trust laws.
The platform then reads: I'VE assert
that the declaration OF war against Spain
was justified by the causes which called
it forth. We direct attention TO the fact
that the national Republican administra-
ton, marked by the Republican majority
in congress. was opposed to war and
yielded only after a long delay to strong
public sentiment. aroused by the first and
persistent demands of Democratic sena-
tors and representatives. foremost among
whom were those from Missouri; and for
their part in forcing the Republican presi-
dent and congress TO defend the rights of
our country we extend them our hearty
congTa tulations.
Confident that the war could have been
prosecuted to successful and speedy end
without increasing the interest-bearing
debt of the people, we denounce the issue
of millions of bonds as both unwise and
unnecessary, as the expense of the war
could have been met by the coinage OF
seigniorage in the treasury and the is
suance of misunderstanding treasury
notes. And we endorse the course of our
Democratic senator's and representatives
in opposing their issue.
we send greetings and thanks to our
soldiers and sailors. whose matchless
valor has added lustre to our martial his
tory. for the heroic service to the coun-
try ana we extend our heartfelt sympa-
thy to the relatives of those who have
fallen in battle or died of disease, and de-
clare it to be the duty of the country to
provide for those dependent upon the
gallant dead"

BURLINGTON TRAIN HELD UP.
Robbers Carried Off the Safe, But
Could Not Open It.

st. Joseph, Aug. 1.-THE south bound
Burlington exposition flyer was held
up two miles north of the city at 8
o'clock tonight by five men, well armed,
who rolled the Adams Express COM
pany's safe out of the express car and
attempted to haul it away. They
abandoned their task soon after with
out getting any money. The safe was
recovered two hours after the hold-up,
and had not been opened. Engineer
William Gardner obeyed the signal to
stop and one of the robbers cut loose
the engine, running it down the track
200 yards. Conductor William Heaton
was ordered by the robbers aboard the
smoker and remained there. Fifteen
shots were fired to terrorize the pas
sengers. No attempt was made by the
robbers to enter the coaches.
Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 11.-Soon
after the express robbery on the Bur-
lington road was reported here tonight
railroad official who ought to have
been well informed, made the state
ment that the robbers secured IS, $50
from the safe which they took from the
Adams Express comDany's car. The
treasure, it was stated. consisted of
six packages of $1,000 each; four pack
ages of $500; one of $3.50, and another
of $40.

Spain Promptly Approves the Peace Agreement and
Everything Is Settled.
SIGNATURES TO BE ATTACHED TODAY
AND HOSTILITIES WILL BE SUSPENDED
No Modification of the Original Terms---Peace Commits
SOnerS Will Meet at Paris.

Madrid, Aug. II, 10 p. m.-The gov
eminent has received the protocol and
the cabinet council adjourned at p.
m, having approved it. The govern
ment will wire NJ. Cambon tonight, en-
towering him to sign the preliminaries
OF peace.
The day has been automatically one
of the busiest since the outbreak of the
war. There have been no fewer than
two cabinet councils. in addition to
various diplomatic conferences.
Though the text of the protocol was
not received until the evening was well
advanced, the government had been
made fully acquainted with its con-
tents through Paris.
The matter was practically settled at
the cabinet meeting this afternoon, and
the receipt of the actual document,
therefore, only required a meeting of
the cabinet for a formal acceptance.
Ministers adhere to the statement
that the protocol contains no modifica-
ton of the original terms, but only
new suggestions.
They expect it will be signed at
Washington tomorrow CFriday), and
that a suspension of hostiHties viii be
announced.
Duke Almodovar de Rio, minister of
foreign affairs, assures the correspond
ent of the Associated Press that the
negotiations for the peace treaty will
take place in Paris, but he says that
the commissioners have not yet been
appointed
The terms of the protocol will not be
published until the instrument has been
signed.
IN official circles here the reply of the
United States to Spain in the matter Of
the peace negotiations is regarded as
satisfactory.
, Premier Sagasta, however, denies
Mat he authorized the French ambas-
sador at Washington, NJ. Cambon, as
the representative of Spain, to make
changes in the Spanish answer, as
regards certain conditions which might
create differences during the course of
negotiations" The premier added: IF
any changes are to be made the gov
eminent itself will make them"
The Liberal expresses the belief that
President Mckinley replied to SPANS
note with suspicious rapidity.' 1t
adds: I'VE accept the sacrifice, know
ing the responsibility of the answer
upon thegovernment. The course is to
avoid all useless procedure while the
diplomats are clubbing. 1t is useless to
make distinctions in language in order
to reach a conclusion which is newt
able and already known, while our
blood continues to flow in Porto Rico
and Manila. During the last three
years we have sacrificed too much
blood 1t is time to end it, and this is
the only aspect Of the question that
can at present be considered. Any
way, the press is unable to discuss its
other aspects. Al delay in concluding
az armistice Is critical"

Lander, Wyo., Aug. u.-William c. Pyle,
deputy game warden of Fremont county,
for the Upper Wind River country, arriv-
ed here last evening, after riding contin-
uosly for Sc hours, and brought the news
that a large number of Bannock Indians
of the Shoshone and Bannock Indian
agency. at Fort Hall, Idaho, were IN the
vicinity of Union Pass, slaughtering deer
and elk. Mr.. Pyle was notified that three
bucks and their squaws were in the coun-
try killing game and, with eight persons,
went to arrest them. He and his party
came upon them at the big bend of Wind
river, and instead of three Indians bucks
and their squaws, found 40 bucks and
three SquawS. He found evidence of the
slaughtering of game.
The Indians were most Surly and when
approached regarding the killing of game,
at a signal, they surrounded his party on
three sides, and invited them to battle
with loud war-whoops. Seeing that his
force was too small to cope with Them
Mr.. Pyle drew off and came to Fort Wa
Shake for assistance. Captain NickerSon
the Indian agent at the Shoshone agency
was absent from the agency and Mr.. Pyle
came to Lander for help and met Captain
Nickerson here
The agent Immediately returned to the
agency and called upon the commanding
officer at Fort Washable for aid to get
the Indians back to their reservation. The
governor has been advised of the state of
affairs.
There are grave fears that these Indians
will act extremely ugly and will resist
any attempt to stop their hunting in Wy
oming. They have always claimed this
as their hunting grounds and have made
their boasts that they will continue hunt
ing here and nothing shall stop them. The
people of the Wind River country are de-
termined to protect the game, and should
the Indians be allowed to remain. there
will be some dead Indians in very few
DAYS 1t is hoped, however, that the In
dian department will take steps imme-
diately to return the Indians to their re-
