FOMENTING REVOLT.
Weyler's Emissaries Are Busy
Among the Spanish People.

New York, May IA special to the
Journal and Advertiser from Madrid.
says:
Riot still raves through Spain and
continually threatens to break into rev.
dictionary war. More and more it is
apparent that the Sagasta ministry is
afraid to act heroically. The mobs are
temporized with where it is feared that
shooting will lead to more serious dis
turbance.
In Gijon, province of Oviedo, the kill
ing of women by the troops during the
rioting of the fisher women and tobac-
CO girls has caused tremendous DEM
onstration. The guardia civil has join
ed the rioters, many of the guards hav-
ing sweethearts among the disaffected
women.
The octroi duties were merely an ex-
cuse for the outburst. The price of
bread and the interference with the to-
women, but the men were melted from
below-by agitators who are working
Tor the downfall of the government
And the Gijon massacre, instead of
putting down the riot, has increased it's
violence. Cries against the throne are
open. Mutterings of revenge against
the soldiery are on all lips. One party
of rioters has attacked the Casa Blanca
and almost demolished it. The infant
ry fears to venture from the barracks.
The artillery made an attempt to
capture the gun carried off by desert
ers the day before, but their effort was
half hearted and they retired under a
shower of hot water stones, dead ami
mails and added eggs. The gun has
been taken into the back country and
desperate men are collecting around it
and a band of cut-throat bandits who
are ripe for spoil. Weyler'S secret
emiSsarieS are whispering that he is the
bread cheap, reduce taxes and humble
the hated Americans.
In Barcelona, the Yankees of Spain"
are expressing their disapproval of the
government by a run on the bank, de-
handing silver for notes. In the har-
Dor there have been heard mutterings
of mutiny in the navy and of a plot to
capture torpedo destroyer.
Cartagena bubbles and seethes with
revolution. Thirty miles away, in Muir
cia, a great army of miners and their
sympathizers, estimated at from 1000
to 10000 men and women, has been tum-
ultuously shouting" death to the thieves
down with Sagasta, who stole our

depot and threw dynamite into the
Quartet. Then they started for Carta-
gena, the war port.
Troops We're hurried to meet them.
The angry rioters refused to dispense
and withStOod two volleyS before they
ran. Reports place the dead and wound
ed at more than so, including many Wo-
men.
The ringleaders rallied the mob and
began shouting, +Give us Weyler or
Don Carlos" They gathered on the
heights and gave battle to the soldiers.
At last accounts the troops were on the
defensive and reinforcements were hur-
ried to their support.
Martial law has been proclaimed in
Cartagena itself, but the authorities
are powerless to prevent gatherings
and incendiary speeches. One crowd
from the Parque Central stoned the
house of the mayor, and looted a store
house where Supplies for the navy were
housed.

FISHING IN THE PLATTE.
a Half Million Trout Just Large
Enough to Make Excellent
Fishing.

Denver, May 7.-Platte canon will be
a paradise for fishermen this season,
according to the judgment of T. E.
Fisher, acting general passenger agent
of the Gulf & South Park. Between
300, 600 and 100000 young trout were
planted in the Platte last year, which
will be large enough to fry, and the
fish planted in previous years will have
attained good growth. Last year the
river was too high for good fishing, and
the supply of trout in the stream was
not very much depleted. Owing to the
short snow fall in the mountains, low
water is counted upon, and fishing will
be good.
Mr.. Fisher has just returned from a
trip to Leadville. He went over the
line to superintend the distribution of
900 young trout supplied by the
government. About 10, 900 were plant
ed between Grant and Dome Rock, and
20, 600 were put in the Blue river at Dill
Ion and Breckenridge. With the young
trout to be furnished by the state
hatcheries, the number planted in the
Platte this year will be about 500, 900.
The railroad company will cooperate
with State Fish Commissioner Swan in
strictly enforcing the law against Kill
ling fish with explosives.

WAR AFFECTS BANKS.
Few Loans Made-Money Being Held
Partly to Take Up Bond Issue.

The effects of war have reached To-
peka business circles and the banks
have practically stopped loaning money.
Assistant Cashier Bonebrake of the
Central National bank said today: I'VE
notice a change in business since war
was declared. It is felt more among the
stock men than any one else. 1t has
been the practice of cattle men to go to
Kansas City and borrow money on
bunch of cattle. The Kansas City in
situations would float the paper in the
east and it found a ready sale. Now
the eastern people are not taking any
more of the paper and are not sending
any money west and the cattlemen are
feeling the effect. I saw two stockmen
from out west a few days ago and they
said that the men who had cattle were
being forced to sell because they could
not renew their paper. The money is
being called in.
LAS far as we are concerned we have
not called in our loans and we have
made a few new ones but there is not
much loaning being done at any Of the
banks"
A Topeka business man said that one
day this week a man from Lawrence
who deals in stock exclusively came to
Topeka and requested his help to get
some money. 81 have been borrow
ing money at a Lawrence bank for rs
years., said he, 'tand have never been
refused money before"
The reason the eastern f1nanciers are
not sending any money west and are
calling in their loans is that the money
is all being used to supply the demand
/ for currency 10 purchase war supplies.
Much is also being used to purchase
government bonds.
The only reason given by western
bankers when they refuse to loan mon
ey is that eastern money is not being
loaned. 1t is supposed that the real
reason is a desire to protect the reserve
and keep the bank in such a condition
that they can handle government bonds
if it should become necessary.
The officers of the bank report that
there has been a slight falling off in de-
posits but it is scarcely perceptible.

Americai dear brotherland!
While yet the shotted guns are mute,
Accept a brOtherly salute,
& hearty grip of England's hand.
Tomorrow, when the sulphurous glow
OF war shall dim the stars above
Be sure the star of England's love
Is over you, come veal, come woe.
Go forth in hope! Go forth in might
10 all your nObler self be true,
That coming times may see in you
Inc vanguard of the hosts of light.
though wrathful Justice load and train
Your guns, be every breach they make
A gateway pierced for Mercy's sake,
That Peace may enter in and reign.
Then, should the hosts of darkness band
Against you, lowering thunderously,
Flash the word ''Brotheri'' Ger the sea
And England at your side shall stand
Exulting! For though dark the night
And sinister with scud and rack
The hour that brings US back to back
But harb1ngers the larger light.

I'VE record our deliberate opinion, sus-
that under a systematic and sustained
campaign of consolidated capital the world
and their allies own the governments OF
Europe and dictate all financial legisla-
ton, and even peace or war, by manipu-
Iating the national purse strings, and the
favor of these plutocrats is the only key
to municipal and social advancement and
success. Our own company is fast fol-
lowing this vicious example. With the
dominant political party seeking to fasten
the single gold standard upon us in the
interest of the money class, the Dingley
tariff upon us in the interests of trusts
which seek to avoid foreign competition in
order the more easily to stife all COMPETE

ufacture, transportation and other indus
tries consolidating into trusts with the
sole purpose of increasing prices to con-
sumers and profits to themselves, the
plain tendency of the times in America is
toward the subversion of man to machin-
cry, of industry to organization, of democ-
racy to plutocracy, of manhood to money.
Against this evident tendency we record
our protest and demand that whatever
legislation is enacted or executive action
had, regard be paid to the salvation of our
country (the last and best hope of equal
rights and equal opportunity in the world)
from the hateful domination of these sor-
did ideas.
ITO these principles we subscribe our
allegiance and pledge our candidate"

NEGROES WANT TO FIGHT.
Ten Thousand Georgia Volunteers to
Tender Their Services to Mckinley.

Atlanta, Ga, May THE negroes of
Georgia are making resolute efforts to
become a part of the forces destined to
invade Cuba.
They have been refused as members
of the state contingent by Gov. Atkin-
son, and have announced their inten-
ton of not mixing with the white SOL
diers of the regular army.
Instead, they will offer their services,
10000 strong, to President Mckinley,
with the proviso that their identity as
a negro organization be distinctly main
tanned, and that they be given a negro
commander. This latter parsonage is
liable to be ex-Lieutenant F'lipper, who
ran such course through the army af-
ter graduating at West Point as led to
his dismissal.
The negroes have undoubted faith in

The state battalions of negro soldiery
have been recruited to their full
strength and all of the local leaders
agreed today that if the president ac-
cepted the tender the 10000 volunteers
offered could be ready for active serv-
ice in 48 hours.

RUBBER SHOES
Will Cost More Because of the War
Situation.

Will Cost More Because of the War
Situation.
Baltimore, May Local Wholesale
houses were notified yesterday of an ad-
vance of to Is per cent in the price of
rubber shoes and boots. The notice
was sent out by the United States Rub
Der company and other manufacturers.
1t is an average increase of about 10 per
cent to the wholesale trade. The war
situation is considered a factor in caus-
ing the advance, although the most di-
rect cause is the increasing value of
rubber.
There has been an increase of over
so per cent during the past year in the
cost of rubber, and the various pro-
ducts of which rubber is the basis have
advanced in price excepting boots and
shoes. Owing to a fight between the
Boston Rubber company and the United
States Rubber company, who control
the rubber boot and shoe trade of the
country, prices on these articles were
not brought in line with the general adj
vance.
The differences between these two
companies have, it is announced, been
adjusted, and an agreement reached to
increase prices. Besides the advance
to the wholesale trade made yesterday,
a further advance of per cent, to take
effect on October /, is also announced
High grade rubber is reported as
more expensive to produce, owing to the
heavy consumption. Para rubber, which
is the standard, is now brought from
more remote districts of the Amazon
river country, in Brazil, because of the
depletion of the nearer supplies. This
adds to the expense of getting the ar
ticIe to market. At one time about 60
per cent of the rubber consumed in this
country went into boots and shoes.
Now, with the big consumption in BIZ
cycle tires and the multiplying uses in
other directions, it is estimated that not
more than 80 per cent goes into rubber
boots and shoes.

THE STANLEY BOOM.

Senator Milton Brown of Garden City
who was in the city yesterday on bust

1.-THE political situation in the Seventh
district seems to be very encouraging
for Mr.. Stanley and his friends. 1 am
of the opinion that the Hutchinson con-
vention was a Stanley convention. L
was surprised myself at the popularity
with which he was greeted on every
hand. He made a good speech before
the convention and pleased the Repup-
licans very much.
Although some of the delegates in
the convention are favoring the candi-
dacy of other gentlemen for this posi-
ton / believe that when the final snow
down comes all of the Seventh district
will line up solidly for Mr.. Stanley. The
Republicans of Kansas would make no
mistake in nominating him.
