SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. %.-The
Evening Post relterates it's former
stories regarding the supplying Of
arms to the Filfpinos by the German
government and is positive that it's
authority is absolutely correct. The
post published an interview with him
soday, In which he says that he is not
in a position to tell the full story, for
the reason that he is financially In
terested in the plot and has actually
been a party to the scheme. He says
that he is interested in the German
Philippine trade to the extent of nearly
a million dollars, and that for fifteen
sears Germany has been working
among the insurgents for her own
benefit. and he also told the Post that
there would have never been a reVO-
lutiOn had it not been for the German
government. Continuing, he says: THE
arms that have been supplied came
from the imperial government and were
furnished through the trading COM
panies in which I am interested, so
as to conceal the German hand.
The arms that are now being car
ried by the insurgent and German. YES
sells are from the same source. Agui-
naldO, who accepted a petty bribe to
desert the cause Of the insurgents, has
not the money to arm and equip a big
army, and it has taxed his resources
to furnish such supplies alone.
My information is absolutely au-
thentic, as it comes from high officials
of the government who have large per-
sOnal interests in the Philippine ISL
ands. Germany is supplying the RI
fes, the ammunition and machine guns
that are being landed, and when the
insurgent army is fully armed and
equipped and drilled, trouble will COM
mence. Americas safety lies in dis
arming the insurgents as a move to-

TRENTON, N. J., Sept. 27.-The eve
Of the Democratic state convention for
the nomination of a candidate for gov
ernor finds everything at skies and
sevens. Only small number of dele
gates are here as yet, and there seems
to be no well defined choice as to a
candidate. The ultra silver men
threaten, If the Chicago platform is
not indorsed, to hold a separate con-
vention and nominate a third candi-
date.
The state committee went into ses-
sion at $3.50 o'clock and was still in ses-
sion at midnight, discussing the plat
form and other matters pertaining to
the convention. The silver men were
also In session In the discussion Of a
platform and asked for conference
for the purpose Of presenting their de-
mands.

Giving Way to Cubans.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Sept. 27.--The sys-
tenn of civil government established by Gen.
Wood is practically complete and in good
working order. The Spanish officials are
giving place to Cubans. Gen Wood saws he
does not know the capabilities of the men
taking Office. They are chosen by commit
tee of fifty prominent Cubans whom he be-
leves to be honest and Conscientious
Senior Rigney, one of the largest sugar
planters in Cuba, who has arrived here from
ManZanillo, reports the conditions there
worse than ever. The insurgents he
asserts, refuse to grant permission for the
carrying on of work on the plantations and
the Spanish officials decline to furnish pro-
lection to those desiring to work.
News received from Porto Principe is to
the effect that there Is much sickness among
the Spanish troops. There are now 5000
Spanish soldiers in the province, and fully
half of them are suffering from scurvy and
dysentery. The Cubans hold the country and
refuse to permit fresh provisions to be car
ried to the cities.

TWO HERDS OF ELEPHANTINE WONSe
DERS.
The Wlsests Dwarfs and Mammoths of all
the Wild Beasts.

When Artemus Ward solemnly pro-
nounced the elephant to be "a most
amoosin cuss," he voiced great zooi-
ogical truth, which will receive multi
tudinous Endorsement at Great Bend.
on Friday, August 5th, when the Adam
Forepaugh and Sells Brothers Com
bined Americas Greatest Shows make
their first appearance, presenting
among their immense aggregation of
wild beast, circus and hippodrome at
fractions the largest number of the
best performing elephants ever at any
one time exhibited. The famous orig
inal Adam Forepaugh herd and the
equally expert one of Sells Brothers are
included in this rare assemblage of an
imal actors, and appear Simultaneous
iy, illustrating in many most surprising
and entertaining ways the methods of
the different schools in which they
have been educated as soldiers, dancers,
clowns, boxers, musicians, grotseques,
wheelmen, high balancers. dudes,
walters, diners, mimics, comedians.
acrobats. and multiversaDe artists.
Every species of every sge and size is
represented, including elephants from
Africa, Asia, Ceylon, Borneo and Sum-
atra, ranging from the huge monarch
of at least centurY's growth to the
dwarf and baby. They also appear in
grand double daily street parade, form
ing, with other noble and savage crea-
lures, a remarkable exhibit in a most
remarkable pageant, which serves as q
stupendously suggestive prelude to the
finest performance ever seen.

the old rattle-trap, with the old-time
'machinists," run itself; to let the
bosses nominate and elect-if they
can-the men whom they. the old
time fxers, have long had slated for
the different positions.
This sentiment was fully demon.
strated at the county convention last
Saturday, when only about half the
delegates provided for in the call
showed up. and the committee on
credentials reported eleven townships,
viz: Albion, Beaver, Cheyenne, Clar.
ence. Cleveland, Independent, Grant,
Liberty, South Bend, Union and
Washburn precinct, unrepresented.
While several of these townships
we're given representation later on,
when it was learned that this or that
man "was in town" ~(but many OF
them not in the convention at any
time), the fact remains that only
about half the townships in the
county were represented by regularly
elected delegates.
There was little enthusiasm, and
the candidates eventually nominated
must have felt like they were attend
ing rehearsal of their own funeral
ceremonies.
Many of the delegates showed By
their actions and facial expression
that they realized they were being
used by the party managers to carry
out the political pledges of former
years, and some of them afterwardi
stated on the streets that they "kneV
the convention was worked by go and.
SO to play even."
The boys just went through the
form of holding a convention in order
to get place On the ballot, without
the least hope of electing any mar
they nominated.
