ISP. ANISH CRUE LTY TESTIFIED TO PAT Bisuop Diaz Appears Beiv.e the Senate Foreign Kelations Committee. Washington, D. C., May 21.—Rev. Albert J. Diaz, the American Bap- who wit makes it a misdemeanor for any alien to cross the border for Jabor in the United States except at a port of entry, and impose a head tax of 50 cents on such immigrant. Before the debate began to-day a special order was adopted setting aside to-morrow for the considera- tio of the Phillips’ commission bill and Friday for the Erdman arbitra tion bill. The order provoked the vehement protests of the friends of war claims, who charged the leaders of the House with treating them un- fairly. Both Mr. Mahan (Republican) of Pennsylvania,chairman of the war claims committee, and Mr. Walker (Republican) of Massachusetts serv- ed notice that at the short session beginning in December no bills would be allowed to pass by unani, mous consent. This threat is for the purpose of forcing the consideration of bills on the calender. POPULISTS ARE READY To FLSE Will§indorse the Chicago Nominee if he be tor Free Silver, Indianapolis, Ind., May 20.—The Populists of Indiana make the an nouncement that within the Jast ten days an understanding has been reached whereby the Populists of every State in the Union are to ac. cept the platform and candidate of the Chicago convention in casa both are for free silver. In accordance with the negotiation which began several months ago, the Populist national convention and the conven- tion of the National Silver party have been called to meet in St. Louis on the same day, July 22, two weeks after the meeting of the Democratic national convention in Chicago. The leading Democratic advocates of free silver throughout the country have been quietly informed that if the Chicago convention adopts a free silver plank and nominates a candi- date who will pledge himself to sign a free coinage bill if one should come to him from Congress, the act- ion of the convention will be indors- ed by the two St. Louis conventions. Representatives of the Populist par- | ty have been traveling through the Weet and South for six weeks sug- gesting that the State conventions be postponed until after the Demo. eratic national convention in July! shall have been held,'and asking too, | that the Populists stand for the free! coinage of silver as the pre eminent issue It is announced that 1 diree- tions plans suggested are being ried out.

Mr. Diaz made a statement under oath to the sub committee. Many of the statements made by Mr. Diaz to the committe have al-' ready appeared in print. One case | just furnished the State department was at Guatao, where Spanish sol- diers killed six or seven men (non- combatants.) The Spaniards went into different houses and gathered seventeen men.

They were taken to the street and commanded to kneel down The soldiers fired at them,killing all except the Americar. This occured on February 22 in the immediate presence of the wives and children of the unfortunate men. Dr. Diaz's statement gives accounts of cases where, he alleges, explosive bullets were used by the Spaniards; and the shooting of two children in | the arms of their mothers by the Spanish. On the 15th of March, in Havana) he saw a man who had been killed | by the soldiers and who had sever-! ty-one bayonet wounds. Dr. Diaz mentioned several instances where the Spaniards bombarded insurgent hospitals, killing the inmatee. | Jefferson City, Mo..

C., May 21.— Comptroller of the Currency Eckels has returned from Illimois ane is leredited with the following state- ment: “The Peoria convention will be dominated by Gov. Altgeid’s State machine and witli do his bidding. There are different stories as to whet the Gov Just what he desires aa not be known until the delegates are all elected and assemble in the State | Convention. The Governor will then make known his platform, and the convention will carry it out.” Comptroller Eckels went to Illi- | nois as the agent of the administra- tion. He reports the battle lost, and this news, taken in connection with | the authoritative reports from Indi- ana and Kentucky that both States will go for free silver, convinces the administration Democrats that the | silver men are almost certain to con- trol at Chicago. Mr. Eckels says the “sound money” men will finda way to make their power and influ- ence count. Referring to the presidential can- didacy of Mr. Bland the St. Louis Republic observes: ‘He has never sought the honor which the party in his State has conferred upon him. For 20 years he has unselfishly, ably and earnestly advocated the cause of free silver. When defeated by the peddling populists at the last con- | gressional election he continued the work which had engrossed all of his time and his thought as a member of the house of representatives. If honesty of purpose,sincerity and un- tiring zeal in advancing what he be- serves the gratitude of the American |people. Richard Park Bland is worthy of the highest honor in their jgift.” True as gospel. He is the) man for the people. There is no| subterfuge about his position. No straddle, no playing to the greed| gangs and the money gamblers. Piles of American Gold.

Ina great hurry one Laman D. oH. Russell, made deeds to said Davis to four frame houses lecated at 1227, 1229, 1231 and 1233 Belle- fontaine avenue for $10,000. At the time this ‘-deal’’ was supposed to be a fraud on its face by real es- tate men, as Davis was suffering from a severe attack of impecuniosi- ty and couldn't buy a lot in the cor- ner of Kansas City’s dilapidated market house. But the trick work- ed to the extent of deceiving the people who supposed that Davis had probably struck “oil” and was dumping it down in solid chunks in that town. Only two weeks ago Davis stepped down and out of the mayor's office, and Russell wanted luis lots back, as the public had been deceived long enough. So Davis now comes forward and. deeds the} property back to Russell. Talk about your shell game—three card monte—and things of that sort!
