SPANISH PLOTS At TAMPA.
They VII; All Probably he Nipped I'm
the Bud.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, April 3O-A
special to the Times-Union and Citizen
from Tampa, Fla. says: Chief-of-Police
Burke, Of the Tampa force, and General
Wade held a lengthy consultation a few
evenings ago, the subject of which has
just come 10 light. Spanish-Consul Soils
left here about ten days ago, and Vice
Consul Bruguis left about two days later
The Vice-Consul said that he was going
to Jamaica, by way Of New York and on
the evening prior to his departure he was
given u farewell party by his Spanish
friends. A few evenings ago a Spanish
woman living on Anderson street told
two of her American girl friends that
something would happen soon. Her sig
niflcant remark in connection with the
many rumors Of Spanish plots in circula-
ton aroused suspicion. On Thursday
night as Chief Burke was returning from
Erba City, he was surprised to see Bru-
gus, who he supposed was on his way to
Jamaica, at the Spanish woman's house.
Bruguis is a young man, II years of age.
and has several peculiaritieS of dress and
action well known to the Chief OF Police,
and in telling the story to several news
paper correspondents this evening, the
latter said there was not the least bit OF
doubt about the mans identity
Major Connolly, of the Florida State
troops, has also been informed by a
Cuban resident that Bruguis is in town.
1t is also reported that the Spaniard has
been seen at night, disguised.
The Spanish boarding-house, on Ander-
son street. and another house. owned by
Soils, where Bruguis is supposed TO visit,
are being watched by the police to-night,
and If Bruguis is seen he will be arrested.
Another plot is in course OF develop
ment, that will be nipped. 1t is 10 the
effect that there is a soldier here with
the regulars, who speaks Spanish, and
whose term will soon expire. 1t is as
serted that he has been approached and
urged to re-enlist. with the intimation
that he might make $3.50 month.

DEMOCRATS GETTING TOGETHER.

Every Democrat in the Senate except
Gallery, OF Louisiana, voted for the
Teller resolution.
This is the best proof that the Demo
cratic divisions have ended and that
Democrats have come together.
Ever since the election of 1896 all
good Democrats have earnestly desired
a coming together of all men who pro-
fess TO follow the creed of jefferson, and
there has been much discussion as to
the basis Of this coming together"
Discussion only widened the breach.
Events have secured that harmony
which debate could not produce. The
failure of McKinleyism, the open and
notorious subservience to trusts. the
elevation of corruptionists to positions
Of honor and trust, the debasement of
the public morals, and the demoraliza-
ton of Hanna;sm-all these have made
it impossible for any man with a drop
of Democratic blood in his veins to have
further affiliation with the administers
ton.
The Teller resolution presented the
opportunity to such Democratic Senators
as Mr.. Smith, Mr.. Murphy. Mr.. Gray,
and Mr.. Lindsay to announce their adj
herence to the party's creed. They yot-
cd with Daniel and Vest and Morgan
and with the Populist and Republica
silver Senators for the Teller resolution.
which is the arch of the Democratic
structure. If the debts of the govern
ment are paid in gold or silver ''at the
option of the government" the wis
dom of free coinage follows as a neces-
sary consequence.
The coming together" of Democrats in
the Senate. it is gratifying to note, in
wolves no departure from the principles
of the Chicago platform, but rests upon
one of the basic declarations of that con-
yention There could be no uniting of
forces upon any basis other than the
Democratic doctrine that the minority
yields to the majority. There could he
no party discipline or power except
through submission to 1.-THE arbitrament
of the party in national convention"
'rhe Senators, who have disagreed
with the declaration of the party, have
set all Democrats an example they will
follow. AS for Senator Gallery, and
those who follow him in continued an
tag0nism to the policy of the party,
there is no place for them except in the
bosom of the Republican party. The
sooner they go to their own place and
quit masquerading as Democrats, the
better it will be for them and the coun-
try.
The Teller resolution draws clear di.
yiding line that will be the line of cleav.
age in the Congressional election of 1895
and the presidential election of 1900. AL
who desire TO pay an honest debt in hon
est money in the exact terms of the con.
tract will range themselves behind Tel
Ter and Daniel and Vest. Those who
desire to burden the people with unjust
taxation to pay the bondholders twice as
much as is due them will fall in line
behind Hanna and Platt and Quay. The
division is clear and sharp.
