ARKANSAS DEMOCRATS
Meet in Convention and Pass War
Resolutions

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, June 21.-The
Democratic state convention met today,
nominated a state ticket, adopted a plat
form and listened to oratory. At late
hour tonight the convention is still in ses-
sion. The convention nominated Daniel w.
Jones for governor, Alex. C. Hull of Boone
for secretary of state, and Thomas E. Little
of Sebastian for treasurer. The platform
says in part:
I'VE recognize the Monroe doctrine as
cardinal tenet of the Democratic party and
a part of the public policy of the national
government and favor its strict observance.
Regarding the war now going on for the
purpose of maintaining the national honor
and to assist an oppressed people strug
Cling for liberty We note with pride the
promptness with which all sections of our
country have responded to the call for men
and means for its prosecution, and pledge
the Democratic party of Arkansas to an
endorsement of all necessary measures to
bring it to a successful, speedy and tri-
umphant conclusion.
Believing that the resources and taxing
power of the United States are sufficient to
defray the expenses of the successful pros
ecuton of the war, we are opposed to the
issuance of interest-bearing bonds for that
purpose at this time.
1--WE are in favor of the United States
government building and constructing the
Nicaraguan canal, ard that 1t shall own,
control and manage the same.'s

THOSE PRESENTS BACK
Obstreperous Mrs. Dugan Retrieves
Her Cake Basket

Justice Morrison decided the suit of Mrs.
Mary Dugan of 551 Ceres agenue against
Mr. and Mrs. ]. Kessinger yesterday. Mrs.
Dugan was awarded the silver cake basket,
while the other articles were given to Mr.
Kessinger Some time ago the Kessingers
took apartments with Mrs. Dugar on Ceres
avenue. The landlady at first proved very
kind and obliging, and presented Mrs. Kes-
singer with some dresses for her two little
children, and also gave her a toy engine and
bail. Mrs. Dugan also brought a silver
cake basket to the notice of Mrs. Kessinger,
and asked her if she did not want to buy it.
Mrs. Kessinger said she had some money
coming from Ohio, and when it arrived she
would give Mrs. Dugan S1.50 for the orna-
ment The CAKE vehicle was then turned
over to Mrs. Kessinger For some reason d
change came over the landlady's mind.
Finally the Kessingers moved to Twentieth
street near Central avenue.
Kessinger went TO Mrs. Dugan to ask
what he owed her. and was met by Mr.. and
Mrs Dugan and the latter's sister, Miss
Murphy. When Kessirger asked Mrs. Du-
gan if he had left anything at the house, she
pointed Indignantly to a thunder-pot and
told him that belonged to him, and he must
remove it. He declined. whereupon Mrs
Dugan, who is very stalwart grabbed
up the article, intending to throw the con-
tents upon Kessrger. The latter threw up
his arm, warded off the blow, and Incl
dentally preciptated the stuff upon Miss
Murphy, who is an old maid, and inclined
to be particular. This so infatuated the
Dugan tribe that Kessinger had to fly from
the place to escape bodily injury, and as he
stood in the street he saw his packages he
had left in his fight come flying after him.
Mrs. Dugan tried 10 get complainst against
l<essinger, charging him with battery, but
Deputy District Attorney Chambers de-
clined to give her one. She then swore to a
search warrant for the silver cake dish, the
clothes and children's trinkets. During the
trial Mrs. Dugan made herself very con-
spicuous and so obnoxious that the court
threatened to imprison her for contempt ur-
less she held her Irish. The case was
finally settled by Justice Morrison awarding
to Mrs. Dugan the basket because it had not
been paid for but he declined to give her her
presents back.

Escaped From Whittier

Shortly after o'clock yesterday morning
Officer Conley saw two girls walking across
the First-street viaduct toward the city.
Both appeared to be tired, worn out and
dusty as if they had come long distance,
so the officer halted them and inquired who
they were and where they were going. He
soon discovered that they were a couple of
girls who had escaped from the Whittier
Reform school. The girls were sent in the
patrol wagon to the police station, where
they gave the names of Emma Garcia and
Sarah Hiram. Shortly after this pair OF
constables from Whittier appeared at the
station with lanterns and inquired about the
girls. The officers said they had tracked the
girls from the school to the bridge. The
girls were turned over to the officers later
in the day and taken back to the school.

Do Not Fear Don Carlos

LONDON, June 21.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Standard says:
Nobody except his followers believe that
Don Carlos can do more than to disturb
the peace of the realm and to aggravate
the difficulties of Spanish finance so long
as the present monarchy and dynasty are
supported by the army, the navy and a
majority of the Spaniacds, but undoubtedly
he might become a powerful adversary to
any other regime depending upon the coun-
try, by revolutionary parties, as, unfortu-
nately, the reorganization of the Carlist
forces all over the peninsula has been too
much ignored by the Madrid governments
of the past twenty years.

He Defeats McKeever in Four Hot
Rounds

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2.-Frank Nc
Council of San Francisco defeated Charles
McKeever of Philadelphia tonight in the
fourth round of what was to have been a
twenty-round contest. During the first
three rounds both men put up a pretty ex-
hibition. the honors seeming to be even.
The fourth round had been in progress
about minute when McKeever made a left
lead for the face. Instead of blocking the
blow in the ordinary way, Mcconnell beat
the Phladelphian's arm down with his own
left and sent in counter with his right.
His gloved hand landed on McKeever's chin
and the Philadelphia fell
He was not knocked out completely, and
he rose and reeled toward the ropes. A
second right handler on the back of the head
dropped him again. He rose once more,
steadying himself by holding the lower
ropes and Mcconnell went at him.
Seeing that McKeever was thoroughly
helpless, Referee Wand pushed the other
man away and proclaimed Mcconnell the
winner.
The preliminary fight was between Frank
Purcell and young Peter Jackson" After
a rather embarrassing contest for ten
rounds the referee declared the match a
draw.

BLANCo SCARED
Forsakes the Palace for the Recesses
of the Fortress

KEY WEST, Fla, June 21.-(Special
to The Herald) A private cipher
dispatch from Havana received by Cubans
here this morning says that Banco has
virtually abandoned the palace and has
taken refuge in Ell Principe fortress, leav-
ing Secretary General Congosta to direct
civil affairs.
In the opinion of the Cuban spies who
reached New York yesterday direct from
Havana, Blanco's situation, even in his own
fortified city, is exceedingly critical. The
Weylerian forces are growing in impudence,
and are beginning openly to charge the
captain general with incapacity and weak
ness. Blanco has undoubtedly sought the
recesses of the fortress of Ell Principe out
of regard for his personal safety, and he
would not have abandoned the palace unless
he was in imminent danger from the mob.
