of the New York Herald 'has s at the fol-
lowing special to his paper: f the g3?

denial booms of former Gotta-nor Camp-
bell of Ohio, Colonel William R. Morrison
of Illinois and (301;,on Matthews of In-
a, who, they say, are straddlers and
the: cre not wort to 1 ad the silver
hosts during the co ing ca poign.
By the latter partof the present week it
is expected that many of the free silver
leaders will be hero for cnference, at
which time some sort of a p cgramme will
be mapped out.
The platform to be ado ted by the con—
ventlon here will be in root contrast to
that adopted at St. Louis. It will be very
shc‘rt, and its main feature will be the sil-
ver plank. The tarifl wiil be alluded to,
of course, but it will not be a pro inent
plank. Cuba may be touched upon, but
the platform is not to be made a roof to
cover the world. A tarifl for revenue only
will be demanded, but the silver question
will he starred in big red letters.
Western silverltes say the money ques~
tion is the only one worth talking about
and fighting for, and they do not propose
- to mince matters either. They loudly
proclaim their intention of setting aside
the two-thirds rule. They will decide all
contested cases in their own favor, and
when they get through they estimate that
the gold strength will be about 300 and no
more. They figure on getting the entire
Nebraska, South Dakota, Nevada, Ohio
and Michigan delegations, which will ive
them a majority in the convention .51 64.
I am simply quoting the claims of the sil-
ver men.
They have a very sharp stick, whittled
down to a fine point, for Mr. Don Dickin-
son, who, they say, deliberately took the
Michigan state convention away from
them through means that Will not bear in-
vestigation. Before the Michigan state
convention met, they say, the silverites
Were in the lead, but Dickinson won from
them some of their delegates. They pro-
pose to make a big row in the convention
about it.
In this case they will go behind th ‘ re-
turns and will break the unit is ado ted
by the Michigan state conven on. It is
anything to get votes Wit hrgheZii, and they
propose to go to the ext Even in
Wisconsin they propose to make an efiort
to take votes from the gold me in spite
of the fact that the Badger St conven-
tion will this week undoubtedly apply the
unit rule.
Large MaJority For Silver.
A careful estimate of the probable stand-
ing of the delegates elected and to be elect-
ed to the Chicago convenm, leaving Ne-
braska out of the calcul cup/is 545 for
silver and 361 for gold. Thirty of Ohio’ 3
votes are given for silver a d 10 for sound
money, the District of Colu bia is divided,
South Dakota is put in the gold column
and Nevada in the silver column. The out-
right gold states are Connecticut, Dela-
ware, Florida, Maine, Maryland, Massa-
chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Penn-
sylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Wash-
ington and Wisconsin.
Much of the bitterness of the silverites
heretofore directed against the party has
been of late visited upon former Secretary
Whitney, and they proposed to direct a
fight against him, but as he is now out of
the race they will have to change the di-
rection of their fire. Nor do the silver man
show a friendly feeling for Vice President
Stevenson. who is not sufficiently cut-
spoken on the silver question to suit them.
A strong bid is to be made for the sup-
port of the Teller following and the Popu-
lists, for the idea is to get every faction in
the country under- the free silver banner
for the purposeof fighting the “ gold bugs. ’ ’
What they will offer Teller and his Popu-
listic allies has not yet been made known,
but they will bid liberally.
The silverites say that in all probability
national headquarters of the party will be
removed to Chicago, as they can hope for
no financial support from the east and the
fighting will all be done in the west. This
matter will be brought up in the Illinois
state convention and probably the state
conventions of Ohio and Indiana. The
Bimetallic league leaders .will shortlyrar-
rive here and direct all their labors from
this point. Chicago is already the head-
quarters cf the executive cOmmittee of the
league.
Colonel John I. Martin, sergeant-at-
arms of the Democratic national ponven-
tion, is rapidly becoming a great disap-
pointment to the local politicians. They
are discovering daily that it will be difl‘icult
for them to influence him in theematter of
appointments. He will give Chicago its
quota, but no Chicago man can get the
position of assistant sergeant-at-arms or
docrkeeper, especially doorkeeper. He
draws the line there and says no person
can gain entrance to the hall unless he can
show a ticket. .
filthy Denounce President Cleveland.
INDIANAPOLIS, June 23. —- The Dem-
ocrats of Indiana, who will meet in state
convention day after tomorrow, will do-
clare in favor of the independent coinage
of silver .at the ratio of 16 to l. The re-
vised figures show 'that‘ 312 of the 1,747
delegates are in favor of the present gold
standard. If .the free silver people have
their way, they will not even permit the
administration representatives of the party
to have a voice in the committee on reso-
lutions or in the'convention.
' There is only one district—the Capital
, City district—in which there is any possi-
bility of the administration Democrats _
electing a member of the cOmmittee on
resolutions. Some of the sound money
men are in favor of making a fight on the
floor of the convention.
The platform, which has already been
prepared by the free silver state commit-
tee, is as radical as it is possible to make
it. It contains no lndorsement of Presi-
dent Cieveland's administration. Some
of the more radical men are insisting on
denouncing the president, and this may be
no. B. F. Shively of South Bend will.
be the nominee for governor. Delegates
to the Chicago convention will be elected

Spain Bidicules, Our ClaimS.
LONDON, J une 23.—A dispatch from
Madrid says that the Spanish government
declares that the claims for damages made
b Americans in Cuba are mostly unten-

he suffered with nephritis while in prison
in Cuba, and another asks for pecuniary

conveying over $1,000,000 worth of his fa-
ther’s property to Mrs. Nettie R. Craven,

in the range of possibility that Mrs. Craven
will refuse to obey the order of Judge
Stack to show these documents in court.

the Austrian delegation dinner Emperor
Francis Joseph, referring to the new elec-
toral reform law, said: “I know Well
enough that the newly created electors

not suit Austria.”

WON’T TRY TO SHAPE POLICY
It Is Not Believed That Our Representa-
tive “fill Attempt to Influence
Action With Regard to Roc-
ognition of Belligerency.
WASHINGTON, June 23,—A day or two at
least must. elapse before the report which
Consul General Lee is said to have forward-
ed Saturday can reach the department of
sta.e It is not clear whether the report
will come by mail or whether General
Lee will avail himself of the services of In-
ternai Revenue Collector Ryan as a Digg-
senger, as has been J:timated might be the
case. As t ere as been some speculation
as to what has called forth this particular
report from the consul general, it can be
stated that, aside from some h f ggbie-
grams apneuncing his rrlval nd the re-
ceipt cf 1 rotidns c hing has yet been
hcqrd o cite] y from he new consul gen-
cral;s so that a report from him in the ordi-
nifty course of the consular roflne is fully
due. While it 1s true theft conu or officers
under their general instructions are expect-
ed to report to the state department any
events lhat might be of interest to our
government, it cannot be learned that Gen-
eral Lee was under any special instruc-
tions to make a report upon the polio to
be pursued toward Cuba. For such in or-
motion respecting the military situation
as he could have gathered while pent up in
Havana and at a distance from the fighting
line the state department would be grate
ful, and it would carry weight in view of
ghe military experience of the consul gr -
ral. But, after all, his report would be I
value in exact accordance with the facts
contained, and it is hardly to be supposed
that the consul general will go beyond such
a statement.
Won’t Try to Shape Policy.
It is not curposed in official circles that
he will attempt to shape the policy of the
state department as to recognition of bel-.
ligerency or of independence, which must
be decided in Washington after contempla-
tion of a field broader than is open tovthe
perception of an official stationed in Cuba. 1
At present the state department is giving
more attention to the redress of grievances
of American citizens than to the other
subject of the propriety of interference in
the strife between the Spaniards and the
Cubans, and to this end h..s been pushing
a vigorous correspondence with Mr. Han-
nis Taylor, our minish .- at Madrid. The
purpose is to prevr-t ?, so far as possible,
depredations Upon 111 a property of Amer-
icans in Cuba, and especially the recor-
rence of such affairs as the ill treatment
of the Delgados, father and son, and, their
servants. Some nice questions of diplo-
macy are involved in the adjustment of
these matters, as, for instance, in the Del-
gado case is in issue the whole question of
how long an American resident in Cuba
can preserve his American citizenship
when the has practically given up his alias
gianm to his native or adopted country
and has concentrated all of his material
interests in the island. The treatment of
such matters is sufficient to engage the at-
tention of the state department jus now,
and it is regarded as improbable that there
will be any immediate change in the pol-
icy pursued toward the general subject of
relations with Spain, particularly as the
prevalence of the rainy season in. Cuba has
operated largely to restrict military opera-
tions there.
Spain Is Excited.
LONJON, June 23. —-A dispatch to The
Mail from Madrid says that the platform.
adopted by the St. Louis convention has
caused much anger in Spain and that a
conflict with the United. States is almost
fixed. The Rothschilds have loaned the
government 100, 000, 000 pesetas on the se-
curity of the Almaden quicksilver mines,
and the money will be applied mostly to
the purchase of warships. The dispatch
says the government is responding to an
undoubted national sentiment, trusting
probably to receiving help from other pow-
ers.
Japan's Awful Tidal \‘Vaves.
WASHINGTON, June 23.—The first of-
ficial report that has reached Washington -
of the great Japanese earthquake and tld al
waves came today to the state department
from Mr. Herod. secretary of our legation
at Tokyo, in the following brief cablegram,
which, however, makes the calamity out to
be much worse than heretofore reported:
“Deaths caused by tidal waves estimated
at over 30,000 in reports up to date. No
mortality among Ameribans.”
Donald, Smith’s Distinction.
LONDON, June 23.—Sir Donald Smith,

turn from Scotland.
