Farris to at Once Demand Its Call by the State ‘Committee, Lebanon, Mo., June 19.—Chair- man Farris left for St. Louis to-night on invitation for a conference with prominent Democrats of the State to take some action relative to call- ing a State Convention in the event the State Committee again refuses to callit and seta aside the will of the party as expressed through County Conventions and committee meetings: Chairman Farris has in hjs possession a demand from a ma jority of the counties of the State for a State Convention. This, he says, he will present to Chairman Maffit and request that the State Committee call the Convention in obedience to the wish of the party in a majority of the counties. If the committee refuses to issue the call after this strong and posi- tive expression from the people, then the County Chairmen, repre senting a majority of the counties, together with other prominent and influential party workers, will con- fer, formulate plans and issue an address to the Democrats of Mis- souri calling a convention for an expression of the party on the silver question. This will be done if the committee refuses to call it, and the committee will be asked to act without delay. In addition to a majority of the counties of the State that have in- dorsed the Farris plan and have signed his call, the following coun- ties have declared for a State Con vention: Audrain, Butler, Clay, Dade, Jackson, Johnson, Marion, Jasper, St. Charles, Sullivan, Barton, Cole, | Buchanan, Holt, Macon, Schuyler and Vernon. These coun- ties, added to the Farris list, make seventy-five counties in which there has been an expression of the party on the question, and they emphatic- ally demand an early State Conven- tion. A ROUT. Spantards Who Were Torturing Citi- zens Defeated. Gainesville, Fla, June 19.—-F. R. Auerfer of this city has received a Jetter direct from the seat of the Cuban rebellion. The letter is dat ed from Arequipa, in the Province of Camaguay, and reads: “Our troops surprised a battalion of Spanish soldiers and completely annihilated them. It seems that their Major, hearing that a wound. ed Cuban officer was being nursed at this place, decided to capime him. So taking his command, he reached the village before daybreak. After searching all the houses and not finding him, he called the citi- zens before him and demanded— under threats of torture—that his hiding place be disclosed. “They all denied knowledge of him. Following this declaratior, the Major ordered them put to tor- ture until they would tell. In the meantime a Cuban had escaped from them and knowing we were near, he made all possible speed to reach us. He reported to Col, Rodriguez, who was in command, and immediately ordered forward ou double time. “When we reached the village the weond beggarded description. The Spandiards {had fired the houses and were killing, torturing and out- raging thejpeople on all sides. The women did not escape brutal treat- ment. Our men wore wild with rage at the sight, After firing one volley from our rifles, we were so ferocious that we charged them, and were soon engaged ina desperate hand to hand conflict. No quarter was given, and after three hours fero cious fighting the Spaniards were completely routed “After it was all over dead men and others mortally wounded were lying in heaps on all sides. This is the most desperate battle that I have been engaged in as yet, as the Span- iards expected no quarter after be- ing caught as they were. They fought for their lives, but our men fought like demons and could not be resisted. “Our loss is 163 out of a force of 500 while the Spanish loss is 472 by actual count, including several of- ficers. We captured their outfit complete. This battle will delay us in reaching Gomez, but we hope to reach him tomorrow. ‘ Yours fraternally, F. P. Hays.

El Reno, Okla., June 19.—There is a great deal of suppressed excite- ment over the reported big finds in gold in Washita County, west of here. The Washita River is out of lits banks, and impossible to cross, and no news bas come in from there! \for several days. There are at least | 12,500 men on Boggy and Turkey | Creeks, placer mining and washing | | . jwith pan and cradle in the creek | beds. | | They find flour geld, but on ac- | count of the rude methods of mining, | ja great deal of it getsaway. The} towns of Arapahoe and Cloud Chief | lare deserted and not a man is left) jon his claim in that country Prob | | ably 100 men have left here with | picks and shovels and assaying in- struments to learn the truth. If| they find that gold is found in pay- ing quantities, a great rush is sure to occur. The lack of information about the gold fields is making the “people restless and uneasy, because if there is anything in the reports they want to get there, but sensational reports of gold finds have been sprung on them too often they have become very weary. The sensational reports sent out from Guthrie, 200 miles from the fields, are absurd. Assays have pot yet been made and the value of $1,200 a ton, as reported from Guthrie, is sent out by town- site boomers, who want to get a rush started and sell town lots. | | Ricuarpson Lived Over a Century. i Anamosa, Iowa, June 20 —It is probable that Delaware county has within its borders the oldest inhabi tant of the United States. He is 115 years old, and seems to be good for ten years more. Five or six miles from Manches- ter, in an humble home Conrad was born in Cumberland county, Pa, September 22,1780. He was over 30 years old when the war of 1812 broke out. A cousin brought the news tothe old homestead and he at once entered the service as a vol unteer, and some time afterward went with his company to the Niaga- ra frontier. He took part in the storming of Queenstown Heights, participated in the battle of Fort Erie, and witnessed Perry's great victory on Lake Erie, and when the war closed he was stationed at Sackett’s Harbor, where he and other members of his company re ceived their discharges. Mr. Conrad has used tobacc> and liquor all bis life. Bland Il! at Denver. Denver, Colo., June 19.—Ex-Con- gressman Richard P. Bland, of Mis- souri, has returned to the city from his lecture tour through the State and is still at the Brown Palace Hotel. He was not in good health when he came to Colorado, and his trip and constant public appearances seem to weaken him still more. He is unable to see callers. His weakened condition is the result of an attack of grip. Mr. Bland’s phy- sician thinks he will be able to travel in a few days. “I shall remain in Denver several days,” said Mr. Bland this evening, “and then go back to my home in Missouri. After a brief vacation I will open the silver campaign in Kentucky, and later in the season proceed further East.” Mr. Bland says he is scheduled to speak at nearly 100 different cities and towns in the East.
