thrilling, account of the strategy at
the mouth Of the river, which resulted
in the loss Of lives of several sailors
and the taking into an eight months
captivity of the remainder of the little
crew.
1t appears for the first time. from
this report, that Lieutenant Gilmore
did not violate his orders in entering
the river, but did so for the sole pur-
pose of protecting two OF the York
towns officers, whom he had been di-
rected to land. The Yorktown at the
tine was trying to relieve as much of
the Spanish garrison as was beSet by
the Eilipincs at a church in Baler. and
two Of the officers referred to had IN
dertaken 20 make reconnaissance.
Lieutenant Gilmore's account Of the
tragedy which followed the attempt to
execute his orders is given in the re-
port as follows:

conceded that the little town, always
reliable for Democracy, will roll up a
larger majority than ever for the peo-
pies candidate.
Mr.. Thurman, in view of Senator
Rawlins' presence, occupied only a few
minutes, but in that short time, he gave
the people an idea of fundamental po-
litical principles. which for pith and
cOnciSeneSS, carried the effect of a
dozen weighty Orations.
He reverted to the time when the
Peoples party and Liberals concluded
70 divide on national party lines. In
the incipiency of their political educa-
ton, which began at that time, he re-
minded his auditors, they were told
that Democracy stood for the people
while Republican legislation was in ia
vOr of the classes and against the
masses. Democracy meant equal rights
to all. exclusive privileges to none, and
working up to an eloquent climax. Mr.
Thurman declared that if there ever
was a prophetic utterance, il was by
the Democratic speakers at that time.
He showed how trusts have -four
ished under the Republican administra-
ton, and pointed out that Hammond
as q Republican, is for discrimination
against the masses of the people. The

speaker in closing, the audience dem

Mckinley himself being at work

He made clear that the present
spasm Of prosperity was due TO an in
creased output of gold, and held it I'D
as a living demonstration of what an
increased output of silver, meaning its
free coinage you'd do.
