Fleming was one of the most hard hearted men ever In the jail walls. In talking to a GRAPHIC reporterlas night he said:
 'i don't want any preacher; he can't do me any good. I will be better dead than alive, any way. | will admit, now,I am going to hang, believe some parts of the good book, but not all of it. One thing I do want to say and that is, I AM INNoCENTl'
 His mother was crying in the rear alley and begging him to pray. he yelled to her: "Go home, and don't let me see you any morel,
 He never slept q wink Thursday night, as he said he wus praying. He was given his breakfast this morning and after eating, stood looking through the bars, laughing with a lot of negroes, who were on the ground below him.
 Fleming was only l9 years of age, having served terms in the peniten- tiary and on the county farm. He iI essed about 9:30 clock this morn ing and went down stnirs Tn com pany with jailor Gibson and deputy sheriff Johnson, where he had his picture taken by local photograph CT. He was then carried to the de- pot where hundreds assembled to see him make his last departure from this city.
 At the depot he sat in the patrol wagon smoking cigar. and talking to every one who spoke to him. He said "Aint you going to bring me back to this place. don't see any coffin; guess come back in T box. Ohl well don't care As the train pulled out from the station, he yelled to the overwhelming crowd: E'Good by boys and girls, good luck to you all. And he laughed as fl he was bound for picnic, or on an excur- sion. Kodak fiends were numerous on the way to and at the station.
 Rev. J z. Battles stood by the con demued man in the wagon and gave lecture to the assemblage and, pointing to Fleming, said:
 "This is indeed good example, and. although a costly lessoD, l want all present to learn it well. ;

SPANlARDS CUT OFF
 GENERAL STONE.
They Are In the Mountain Pass Where Ten Mon Can Stop an Entire
 Regiment of Soldiers.

Ponce, Island of Porto Rico, Aug 2, via St. Thomas, Aug. 5.--General Roy Stone, while reconnoitering northwards along the road leading to Arecibo, on the north coast with company of the Second Wisconsin regiment, encoun- tered opposition at Utuado, where a small force of Spanish regulars and vol unteers had been instructed by Captain General Machias to resist to the bitter end. The Spaniards refused to surren- der and General Stone sent messengers back to Adjuntas that he would push on, aided by force of natives armed with machetes Before the messengers left Adjuntas where 12 men had been left, the Spanish forces Twas reported to be between Stone and Adjuntas, picketed on the trail between Adjuntas and Utu- ado, in the heart of the mountains. As the troops have to move single file, 10 men can stop regiment. Gen. Stones messengers rode all night.

MAKING ADVANCES
 IN A CAREFUL WAY,
General otega Holds m Important Pc. sition, but Americans Are Prepar-
 Ing to Surprise Him.

Ponce, Aug. ,, via St. Thomas, Aug. 6.-The plan of campaign has not fully been determined upon, but the natural strength of the Spanish position at Aibonito and the character of the de. fensive works erected there necessitates flank movement. A turning move ment was inaugurated today when General Brooke landed 5000 men at Ar royo, GO miles east of here. From there he can strike the military road leading to San Juan at Cayey. beyond Aibonito. This will compel the Spanish com mander Otega, who has a great reputa- tion, to abandon the stronghold or be caught between two fires. It is possible a second column may move on his left flank also, i'll which case the present ad- vance on his front will be shown to be only feint.
 General Stone is making dashing .reconnoisanee north i'll the direction of Arecibo. He went into Adjuntas last night with five men and four corre- spondents and today he brought his command on along the Utuado road. Tfe road is practicable for cavalry and in- fantry It it is found passable at Utu- ado light column of troops may be pushed across to the coast and strike in on San Juan on the left flank, but If General Brooke is successful it is proba- ble that Otega will find Aibonito unten- able, in which case the whole of our army, after effeeting a junction, will move on the main road.
 General Stone met with most enthu- siastic welcome from the natives in the villages and towns through which he passed.
 A general advance is not to be ordered until all of General Miles plans at6 per fected, but when the advance is once begun 1t will be rapid. The fleet will lombard San Juan and make other di- versions to keep the enemy busy at every point.
 So far as known no forward move- ment will be made by American troops until the arrival of more transports which are expected hourly. There has been no fighting up to the present so far as known. Spaniards are expected to make their first stand at Aihonito, 32 miles from here, where two or three thousand Spanish regulars are believed to be entrenched The present prospect is that tbere will be no actual fighting for several days.

 Galveston, Aug. 1.-The second days session of the Texas Democratic conven- tion was consumed in perfecting organ ization, to speechmaking and hearing committee reports.
 The wigwam was crowded long be- fore the hour of opening. Temporary Chairman Wells called the convention to order at 10 o'clock.
 After the usual morning prayer, the reading of a few telegrarns and the transaction of some minor business, the report of the committee on credentials was read. The future of it was the Gal weston contest. There was 8 majority report recommending the seating of the Lovejoy delegation and minority report recommending the seating of the Webber delegation. There were quite number of speeches ready to be made, but the minority report did not even get a decent burial The convention was in no humor to hear argument upon the subject and it very promptly tabled the minority report and adopted the ma- jority report So the Galveston contest is over, the anti Webber faction is rec ognized and Major Joe B. Aguilo is un- occasionally the chairman of the county executive committee.

and by hard licks. It is true he was not gifted by a long experience in political string pulling as pol itici4n, but with faith in the hon esty and integrity of the people, and Esving an unabiding faith ln their justice, he was willing to abide that they would see that no act of injustice and wrong was done him. Now he is entitled to the protection of that people who have promised him their strong arm the in main, tainanee of his rights. I for one am not in favor of tolerating this in. famous wrong, and besides, the time has come to turn down this lit tie coterie of politicians who have in the past few years undertaken to dictate to the people of this county and ii many cases have been suc- cessful. Now is he time to strike with bold hand Rise in the maj esty of 5onr authority, if you have any; in the cause of justice, if yoa know what it means in the instance of future right. if you care for it; for the sake of an outraged people if you are not blind to it, and say to Mccoy, Bloom and his gang, you can deceive but you can not steal. You can lie, but you shall not rob.

FRICTION BETWEEN
 OFFICERS OF A BRIGADE.
Five Lipe ofHoers of the sixth Massa- -chusetts Resign Their Commissions.
 Miles viii Investigate.

Boston, Aug. 5.-A cablegram to The Journal from Ponce says:
 A tremendous sensation has occurred in the Sixth Massachusetts regiment, General Garrettsons bridage. The friction between line officers of the reg iment and officers of the brigade, which has been growing since the brigade left Cuba, reached climax on Monday, when Colonel Woodward, Lieutenant Colonel Chaffin, Major Taylor, Chap lain Dousseault and Captain Goodell, Company K. resigned their commiss- ions. The reason is unknown
 The matter has been fully reported to General Miles and rigid investigation has been ordered by military law, as to resign in the face of the enemy means a courtmartial.

 The convention did not meet in the afternoon until 3 80 oc' ok Then the committee on platform still informed the convention that still more time must be had before the committee would be able to report.
 Then speechmaking was begun again and kept up until $ 30 when the con. yention resumed until s 30.
 When the convention reassembled the platform was ready and was immedi- ately taken up.
 Chairman Campbell read the report and moved it's adoption
 Congressman Baily presented minor ity report which only differed from the majority as to the expansion of territory and was as follows
 We believe that colonial policy is contrary to the theory of this govern ment and we are opposed to the acqui- sition of any territory inhabited by a people who are incapable of selfgoyern- ment, because we hold the right of local selfgoyernment to be the basic principle of our republic.
 We are opposed also to the aequisi- tion of any territory, the government or control of which will necessitate an in- crease in the standing army of the Unit ed States.
 "We reaffirm the declaration of Thomas Jefferson that all governments derive their just powers from the con- sent of the governed and we are opposed to the establishment of any government anywhere by the United States without the consent of the people to be gov erned. ;"
 Mir. Baily moved to substitute his res olution for sections and 10 of the ma jority report.
 Then speeches began and were kept up until 12 o'clock. Mir. Bailey ably de- tended his resolution and his only help was Hon. T. H. Ball
 A motion was made to table the mi nority report after Mir. Baileys speech and resulted ill 72l to 334.
 Thus MT. Bailey's resolutions were sat down upon and the convention ad- journed without adopting the majority report, but that will be done the first thing today.
