DEMOCRATS or IOWA
Gathering for the Stale Convention
Beginning Today.

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 15.-The ad-
vance guard of politicians and dele
gates arrived today for the democratic
state convention to be held tomorrow
and the pcpulist convention the day
after Nearly all of those on hand are
silver men and it is apparent that
William ]. Bryan, who is expected to
be on hand, will be heartily received
and that the convention will give its
unqualified Endorsement to the Chica
go platform.
The resolutions will handle the sub
ject of trusts without gloves. There
is little doubt, too, that the effort will
platform, the alleged intimate rela-
tions between the trusts and the re-
publican protective tariff system. But
more than all, the emphasis Of the de-
claration will be laid on those p.anks
relating to the aggressions of organ
lied capital. The trusts, the combines,
the alleged failure of the republican
party and administration to- honestly
oppose these aggressions-tnese will
be made the strong and pivotal p.anks
OF the platform.
The stand of the convention in re-
gard to the question of territorial ex-
pansion is more CT less doubtful if the
talks with the delegates already on the
field may be taken as an indication of
the sentiments of the convention as a
whole The tendency to fuse with the
populists will probably result in the
gubernatCrial nomination going to S.
H. Bashor, Of Waterloo, who is a fu-
sionist of the most pronounced type.
The city is full of democrats %
night from all parts of the state. |
of the various candidates for
the nomination of governor have been |
hard at work. Cato Sells, who will be |
chairman and wiH deliver |
the main convention speech, is the |
candidate for the conservative eIe |
ment, and Rev. F. S. Bashor of Water
loo candidate of the radical silver ele-
ment In case the convention is un
able to choose between them there is
talk Of former Congressman Fred
White as a compromise. The names of
NJ. J. Wade of Iowa City, and Mayor
Baker of Davenport, may also be con-
sidered.

A MURDER AVENGED

CATHOLIC COUNCIL
May Consider The ChurCh's Status in
Cuba and PORTO Rico.

Washington, Aug. 15.-In influential
Catholic quarters there is much in
tereSt in the progress of the plenary
council of the clergy from South and
Central America, which has been in
progress at Rome for some time. and is
about to close. These prelates have
Il hierarchy entirely distinct from that
of the United States. II is an inf1u-
ential body in many respects, as dhe
church is closely related to the govern
meht in many of the South and Cen
trail American countries. In some of
them the vatican has nuncio or viSi-
tor. directly accredited TO The govern
ments. There are apostolic delegates
also to Brazil and TO Mexico. Thus
far, however there has been no car
dinal in that section of the country.
The meeting at Rome brought to-
gether all of the high church digni-
taries from these countries. The ses-
siorS have been secret, as is usual in
pIenary councils, but the understand
ing here is that the final report is
about to be made, and that the results
viii then reach the public 1t is SAID
that Il misapprehensi0n exists as to
the authority which Spain exercises
over Catholic affairs in the Spanish
American countries. This authority
was terminated many years ago, and
today the South and Central American
clergy have their own hierarchy, dis
tinct and Independent III each republic
and without any bond whatever TO
Spain. 1t is not impossible that the
Courcil will consider tine status of the |
church in Cuba and Porto Rico. as this
is in rather an anomalous condition I
since the Spanish authority has been
terminated, and the church affairs in |
these islands have not been brought |
under the directions of the hierarchy
in the United States.

FATEOF GILMORE
SufferingS of the Captured
Yorktown Sailors.
The Story Told in Letters Found
Hidden Among the Stones of the
Prison at San ISidrO Where TheV
Had Been Starved and Beafen.

San Francisco, Aug 15.-The Bull
letin publishes a startling story from
'-he Philippines regarding Lieutenant
Gilmore and party from the York
town, who were captured by the Fiji
pines and who have been repeatedly
reported from official sources as being
we'll cared for and well treated.
1t appears that when the Americans
reached San Isidro where the York
town man and some soldiers and OWL
ians had been imprisoned they found
the names Clf the prisoners scratched
on the walls of the Jail. Some letters
from the men were found secreted IN
der the stones, and a Spaniard who
had been intrusted with several pre-
Sented them to General Lawton
The let.ers told of the hardships the
men were compelled to suffer, and
begged that aid be sent them. The
men complained that they had been
beaten and bound, and. more
over, were in rags. One of the letters
signed by Albert Lowensohn said the
Spaniards had been treated very bad
ly-worse than the Americans@an
hundreds were dying of dysentery and
other diseases.

SALARIES INCREASED
General Improvement in The Bureau
of Engraving and Printing.

/ Washing on, Aug. 15.-An increase
in the salaries of about $50 people in
the bureau of engraving and printing
has been made by order of Assistant
! Secretary Vanderlip of the treasury.
and there Will no doubt be general re
joicing in that establishment.
For 4 long time Mr. Vanderlip mas
had under consideration the question
of increasing the salaries of che minor
employees, those who work hard and
receive little for their efforts. BY the
Introduction Of different economies
and some changes, Mr.. Vanderlip
found that the appropriation for the
bureau would permit the expenditure
of about $4,000 a year in Increased
salaries. He then carefully Studied
the pay roll and flns finally made the
distribution. OF the $50 people who
will receive increases only six have
heretofore drawn salaries above 81, ,O00
a year. All the others We're paid from
$500 tn less than $500 Il year.
The Increases have not been made
by individuals; that is, no select few
in each class have been picked out and
advanced over others. The advances
have been made by entire classes. The
benefit thus goes 10 all alike, and, it
is hoped will be incentives to good
work. In the class of printers as
sistanlts assigned to duty rs operatives,
for instance, the salaries of sixty as
sistants iIave been increased from
$500 to S47O a year Forty-fve oper-
Atives have had their salaries in
creased from $3.50 10 $54S a year This
has bsen done all the way to the $500
class.
The salaries in the bureau are not
fixed by law and are decided each
year, according TO the appropriations
available. In many prior years what
ever increases have been made have
gone ito individuals, usually to those
already receiving good salaries, it is
said

THE YAQUI WAR
Conflict Between The Rebels and
Mexican Troops.

City of Mexico, Aug. 15.-Oficial dis
patches received here today, under
date of Term, report severe battles be
tween the Mexican troops and Yaqui
Indians. One dated the 10th says:
To-day General Lorenzo Torres has
had a new encounter with the Indian
rebels. The federal troops came upon
the troops near the forest surrounding
Vicain, and a sharp engagement fol-
lowed, in which thirty-seven Indians
were killed, while the federal loss was
but ten men. The operations continue
with great activity, and today's vic
tory gives much encouragement"
A dispatch dated the 11th says: "At
5 O'Clock this morning General Torres
started out, and with the Twelfth bat
alion and the national guard of the
state came upon the abandoned camp
of the Indians, but fearing an ambus-
cade, sent out scouts to avoid sur
prise. Soon sharp firing from the
Yaquis hidden in the underground was
experienced and the fight became gen
eral. The enemy fed, leaving seventy
dead on the field. General Torres re
ceived a slight wound and there were
three killed and thirteen wounded.

Annual Report of the Auditor for
That Department..

Washington, Aug 15.-The annual
report of Frank H. Morris, who was
auditor for the navy department until
today, has been made to the secretary
of the treasury. Mr.. Morris SAYS:
From the data furnished herein,
and the legislation enacted by con-
gress which increases the navy very
materially with our extended bounds
OF territory, it will not be difficult to
see that this Office will require per-
rnanent addition to its enrolment of
at least as many clerks as are new on
the temporary roll, and, if it meets
your approval, l advise that congress
be asked to place the clerks now on
that roll upon the regular force of this
office
THE settlement of prize money
claims for the recent war has not yet
begun, owing principally to delays in
the courts The work incumbent On
this office when these settlements be
gin Will be very great and will con-
tinue over a long period.
''It is with great pleasure that 1
commend the fidelity and earnestness
with which the deputy auditor, Mr.
John NJ. Ewing has rendered service
in dispDsing of the enormous work
OF the past year. and the continued
thorough and faithful service of the
chiefs of division, Lewis X. Brown.
George p Dawes and Paul I. Bowen;
and had it not been for the consistent
and earnest. cooperation of nearly all
of the clerks we should not be able to
SHOW at this time the favorable c0ndi-
ton of work which exists. We meet
the largest portion Of the demand up
on this office promptly"
During the fiscal year S.132 accounts
and claims were settled, with amounts
allowed of $jO,997, All. For the year
before Mr. Morris says. There We're
4.03O accounts and claims settled III
volving allowances of $50, ,47S, ,T5S.01.

Unfortunately, this is a too common
