CONSUL GENERAL WILLIAMS’ ACTION ————— The Official Order Reciting Allega- tions Against Him. ESCORTED TO THE BOAT ge The frst intimation to the effect that my presence in Cuba was obnoxious to the government I received through Mr. WH- liams. He wired me to call at his office as soon as possible. I did. He explained that he was very sorry, but the government had jearned that I had visited the insurgent lines and was disposed to handle me with- out gloves. He “advised” that I “quietly leave for home tomorrow.” I explained that I came to Cuba to do certain work and that to “quietly leave for home” was not down on my program. He was amazed at the audacity of a man —an American—who wonld not fold his tent and silently steal away when the great and omnipotent American consul general ‘“‘ad- vised” him to—Mr. Williams got in a great rage all of a hurry, and he proceeded with codes, civil and uncivil, to convince (2) me that I might be dragg2d out of bed before daylight and perforated with Mauser bul- lets if the government so desired. That is —not as a mere whim on the captain gen- eral's part—but that the rules of war per- mitted them to de so. I told him I had waited in vain for an acknowledgment on the part of the Spanish government that war existed in Cuba. And I repeated what he himself had said that there were only a few “band‘ts and nig- in the woods. Had I not the right to pay a friendly visit to bandits and niggers if I so’ wished? il, I don’t know what I can do for said Mr. Williams. ‘The government hhas received advic*s from the Spanish min- ister at Washington, and you will be ex- pelled or Imprisoned. Why,” he continued, “you visited Maximo Gomez and Cisneros, and you know the government will never allow that. I knew you were away from town several times, but had I known where you re going, or had been, I would have advised you differently.” For a week or more I was called almost daily to the consulate, or the palace of the captain general. in relation to the matter. Sometimes I thought I would go and again that I wouldn't. I wanted oficial notitica- tion to leave, accompanied by threats in case I should not. Mr. Williams maintained all the time that the palace officials were exceedingly bitter toward me, and that if lamp of life were suddenly extinguished, I alone should be to blame. An Official Telegram. One evening I secured a copy of a tele- gram to the n er of foreign affairs at Madrid m t acting captain general. , It was evidently in answer to a query from the foreign office. Here is the dispatch: Havaee, February 8, Eldnayen, Madrid.— There 1x no American correspondent in prison in Havana, nor has this govern- hreatened any such representative nt.

If you make resistance. they will not force you aboard, but take you to the moro. There they il kill you and apologize to the American government afterward.” The Government Press. I confess to my not being infatuated with the apology scheme; but still I began to fear more the populace of Havana than the government. The official organs had attacked me bitterly, and one went so far as to advise my summary execution for “having entered Spain's house and written things defaming her.” At this time in Havana the press seemed especially bitter whenever referring to the United States, which it sneered at as the grand” republic, the “overgrown” repub- lic. or the ‘North American nation,” dis- daining to call it the United States. They told how Florida was taken by conquest from Spain and how, when the Cuban war Was over, the Spanish army in the island would form a fine body to Invade the Semi- nole state and take it away from the Union! These things so impressed me that I de- termined, if actually banished from Cuba, not to tarry in Florida, but hurry north, so that I might not again fall under Spanish Tule when they coolly appropriated that state! The Diario de la Marina published the following notice regarding myself when the order for my expulsion had been ‘ording to our information the Span- ish minister in Washington, Senor Dupuy de Lome, pointed out to the governor gen- eral the convenience of removing from this island Mr. Mannix, representing The Wash- ington Star and t Army and Navy Jour- pal, who has visited the Insurgent ranks. “The intervention of the United States consul, Mr. Williams, it seems is more of a friendiy than an official nature, but Mr. Mannix refuses to leave the island on the ground that as there has been no official declaration of war his passports entitle him to run all over the island.” yler had arrived. and in the meantime had reached an acute point. I still told Mr. Williams that I must have the official documents in my hands before I would leave Cuba, and so we took another stroll to the palace. The captain general was not at all cour- teous to me, and, of course, I became very deeply offended, although I thought it might be extremely impolite to say just so then and there. There was no uncertainty about it. I would be served with the papers on the fol- lowirfg day, Friday, and on Saturday morn- ing soldiers would come to the hotel and see that I was not late for the steamer. Formally Expelied From the Island. It was a very solemn ceremony, that pa- per-serving business the next day. A man going to be hanged couldn't have asked for more. The great Trujillo, chief of her majesty’s Secret service, was there. He bore himself well. Two secretaries, who, if writing on space, would get rich, were busy for half an hour. Several witnesses were called in and a half dozen soldiers walked the open balcony, fearing, pevhaps, that the awful ordeal might drive me to suicide. The documents were at last sealed, signed and delivered, and I was once more at lib- erty to return to the United States. The order of expujsion itself was very lengthy, and recited numerous criminal of- fenses I had committed against the holy archy. I may quote a paragraph or is excellency, the general in charge of the government, has today seen fit to is- sue the following decree: “Whereas, according to advices received at the office of the governor general from the minister plenipotentiary of Spain in Washington to the effect that the American citizen, William F. Mannix, correspondent of an American paper, has been amongst the insurgent bands, visiting their chiefs, especially Maximo Gomez—and considering this information, as well as other which this office has secured from different chan- nels, all tend to show that the permanence in this island of the said American corre- spondent may become dangerous, as it Is already Inco: nient, let Mr. William F. Mannix be notified to leave the island per the steamer sailing at the earliest date from this port for the United States of North America. “Let the United States consul general be irformed of this notification, so that he may report to his government, in case he deems it advisable to do so; and let his excellency, the president of the council of ministers, be informed bv cable of this affair; and Iet tne chief of police of this city be informed that he may see to the embarking of the said William F. Mannix by the steamer satling soonest from this port.” The document was signed by Pedro Munoz, secretary of the general government; by the governor of the province of Havana, by the regional governor, by the secretary of pub- lic order and police, and by his corrupt ex- cellency, the chief of police of the city of Havana. After reading it carefully, and noting the many signatures, I came to the conclusion that it was a bona fide permission to go (even though it lacked Weyler’s name), and 1 placed my trunk in condition for banish- ment. Trujillo and several of his assistants came aboard the Olivette and bade me a long journey. He did not take from me a machete pre- sented by Gen. Maceo, but, on the contrary, chuckled to himself, probably saying that it was one less instrument in the island for the indentation of Spanish skulls. WILLIAM FRANCIS MANNIX. gees UNIVERSITY NOTES.

McKinley's Colts Trotting in the Senator's Pasture Lot. BIG FIGHT AGAINST INSTRUCTIONS The Situation Befogged by Mas- querading Delegates. cULLOM AHEAD Special Correspondence of The Even!ng Star. CHICAGO, April 20, 1896. The Miinois republican state convention will meet at Springfield April 20. Its ses- sions will last two days. The second day will settle whether Senator Cullom can hold his own state agairst McKinley, for the McKinley managers will put forth all their strength to secure instructions. The con- test promises to equal in interest that of 1880, when Illinois was the battle ground between the supporters of Gen. Grant and the opponents of a third term. Will Senator Cullom be able to hold his state, and thereby establish his claim to be a presidential candidate? It depends. The Senator’s canvass at a critical time lost its backbone. The lack of authorita- e advices from Washington caused his Supporters to grow limp. When the word | came that he was still in the field some of the districts had slipped away from him, and during the present week these districts choose delegates to St. Louis who will be Instructed for McKinley. ‘The Ohio can- didate's Ilinc's Meutenants say this will again take the life out of Senator Cullom’s candidacy, and his followers will be too discouraged to make a stand in the state convention. The Senator says in plain Jan- wuage that they are blood relatives of Ana- nias. He will be a candidate when the state convention meety at Springfield and when the national convention assembles at St. Louis. Strong Opposition to McKinley. Back of Senator Cullom’s candidacy is the Chicago organization, with Congress- man Lorimer, Alderman Mad ien and Chair- man Jamieson at its head. Their purpose to have an uninstructed delegation from ilinois at St. Louls is unchanged, though it may be only half a delegation when they get there. Allied with them is John R. Tanner, who will be neminated for gov- ernor by an overwhelming majority. Should Senator Cullom accept the overtures of Maj. McKinley's representatives and “bow to the popular will,” the fight against in- structing the delegates-at-iarge would not be stopped. Mr. Tanner and the Chicago leaders would probably cause it to be known that with Senator Cullom out of the race Allison was their choice; but their contention would simply be for unin- structed delegates. However, Senator Cul- lom is not going to draw out in advance of the state conventi so this phase of | the subject can be dismissed. Of the 1,335 delegates who will compose the state convention, 1241 have been chosen, ‘so it ought to be possible to know what is likely to be done. Nevertheless, | claims so widely divergent are made that | a careful analysis is necessary to under- stand the situation. On the one hand, Maj. | McKinley is declared to have more’ th: S80 positive supporters among gates, while equally positive a: that he hasn't half the numbe truth is, as usual, between the: claims. How They Stand.

Their policy, howev instructions, and they ins delegates are virtually pledg. ed against instructions. As an abstract truth, this statement is probably correct, but abstract truths are not given much veneration this year. The McKinley folks saw in the Cook county delegation an in- viting field, and started out to cultivate it. They claim to have pledges from 12 delegates, but they haven't. If they sixty votes In the convention they wi doing well. Congressman Lorimer and his associates when they picked out their gates took no chances. Political di: is perfect, and however much they would like to jump the fence into the Mc!iniey pastures, few of the Cook county delegates will try it. A Deceptive Loophole. In one point Major McKinley’s calcula- tors are weak. They lump together all the delegates whose conventions have either indorsed him or instructed for him. The question naturally arises why any loophole was left as_between instruction and tn- dorsSement. The answer is it couldn't be helped. The skillful hands of the politi- cians who didn't want to be instructed are seen in the indorsements. In every county which indorsed McKinley instead of in- structing for him there are delegates who will be agairst instructicns in the state conventions, A glance through this I!st shows everywhere the allies of the Chicago organizatk.n and of Candidate Tanner. In this keen maneuvering Major McKinley seems to have the worst of it. For instance, Mr. Hitt had to endure the chagrin of seeing the delegates from his istrict to St. Louis instructed for McKin- ley in spite of his own efforts In behalf of Speaker Reed. But when it came to the state convention the tables were turned. Mr. Hitt heads the delegation from his own county to Springfield, ard the convention which mad: him a delegate simply indorsed McKinley. Other counties in his district did the same thing. It is understood that the popular chairman of the for@ign af- fairs committee will be at Springfield next week ready to explain that an indorsement isn’t an Instruction in all cases, and this is one of those cases. Congressman Hopkins’ district 1s per- meated with McKinley sentiment, and the Congressman himeelf has added a good deal to the volume of McKinley talk in the state. Nevertheless, in his campaign for the gov- ernorship he was very badly treated by the Illinois Neutenants of the major. Not much was sald, and when Mr. Hopkins’ home county chose delegates to the state conven- tion the stiffest kind of McKinley instruc- tions were given, but some of the other counties In his district contented themselves with a cold and formal indorsement. It may be that Mr. Hopkins will be at Spring- fleld explaining to his constituents that an indorsement is the same thing as an in- struction, but if he does so it will be an exhibition of forgiveness rare in politics, for by that time his rival, Capt. Tanner, will have been nominated for governor, ard this, as many of his friends believe, through the failure of Maj. McKinley's rep- resentatives to show him proper considera- tion, Against McKinley Instructions. Roughly estimating, it 1s the opinion of The Star correspondent that one-half the delegates whose conventions have indorsed McKinley will be against the state conven- tion inetructing their delegates-at-large. From this it is plain that the chances are against Illinois instructing for McKinley, yet !t 1s a matter of chances and not of certainty. The belief of the ipporters of the Ohio candidate that they will be. able to sweep the comyention is genuine. They have advertised their Intention to instruct in Illinois with the fullest confidence in their ability to do so.. They think the state will be stampeded just as other states have been stampeded. The pth of anticipated victory 1s already wit} them. While the friends of Senator Catlom, the leaders of the Chicago organization’ and Candidate Tanner profess no fears that they will be able to prevent a stampede, they privately confess nervousness. ikowever, their pres- ent advantage is that they have more votes than the McKinley people, and they are ex- perienced politicians,'Who do not let what they have be taken away from them. As a matter of politival tactics it has be- come vital to Maj. JigKinley’s supporters to secure instructiong jif they are to keep what they have already gained in Iilino!: A mere demonstration of strength will not do. If they don't get the four delegates- at-large from Illinois instructed they know these Gelegates will\néver vote for Me- Kinley while the withholding of their votes will prevent his nomiaation. They also have reason to know that the defeat of in- structions for the delegates-at-large will cause some of the district delegates who have been instructed to cast around for 2a Opportunity to throw ‘aside these instruc- tions after a ballot or two, previded more than one ballot is had. Cullom Delegates Disguised. While fairly successful in securing in- structions in the district convention, the McKinley leaders have had poor luck in naming their own men fer delegates. They have had ihe mortification of seeing known friends of Cullom or Allison selected. It wa3 considered a great point when Unele Joe Cannon's own county in the face of his support of Cullom and his denuncla- tion of “the McKinley invasion,” instructed for McKinley. Uncle Joe accepted the re- sult, sent word that the wishes of the people must not be thwarted and refused to j let his delegates join in a movement to prevent instructions. Ex-Congressman H. J. Wheeler, a known advocate of Allison, end H. M. Snapp, a friend of Cullom, weré sent to St. Louis to the exclusion of o! iginal McKinley men. Snapp made a speech to the convention practically repudiating the instructions. Similar conditions prevail in other districts. ‘To clinch what he al- ready has in Illinois, it is ®mportant to Maj. McKinley to have the delegates-at-large {n- structed for him. If tis is not done it will be made known very early in the proceed- ings of the St. Louis convention that the majority of the instructed district. dele- gates from Illinois are waiting the chance to go to Cullom or Allison. If the dele- ketes-at-large ate instructed the district delegates may be counted on to develop enough enthusiasm for McKinley to last ur til he is nominated. ; Of the district delegates thus far chosen Cullom has fourteen and McKinley eight. The conventions this week will bfing Mc- Kinley up to Cullom and may piace him ahead. Delegates from the Peoria and the La Salle district, represented by Mr. Graff and Mr. Reeve: pectively, will be in- structed for McKinley. Gen. T. J.

He Snys That Hix Reeent Defe Spanish Will Inspire the Cubans. Gen. Antonio Maceo has written the fol- lowing from his camp in Cuzco Hills, Pinar del Rio province, Cuba: Responding to the request of your cor- respondent, 1 have to say that T consider the battle of last Saturday, when my troops put to flight the Alfonso NII bat- talion, the most important accomplishment of the Cuban army during the war, be- cause it taught the men confidence in themselves, and also because it gave the Spanish to understand that the: contemptible foe to deal with. The rout of that battalion cowards of the common Spanish soldiers who may be sent to fight us in the future. Since the battle my soldiers have been filled with desire to meet the men on the trocha in combat. I can hardly restrain them, and I feel satis- fied that if it was my policy to attack the trocha at this time the Spanish army would be cut to pieces, “Your correspondent informs me that doubts have been cast upon the victory at Pinar del Rio. Let me assure the Ameri- cans that we struck that city a heavy blow, putting the troops to flight, burning many houses and capturing engugh arms to place weapons in the hands of many of my men who had none before.” Réforms for Cuba. It is announced at Madrid that the royal speech to be delivered at the opening of the new cortes will promise political and administrative reforms for Cuba and Porto Rico. Harold Frederic, the New York Times’ London correspondent, writes: “Although the elections in Spain osten- sibly veto concessions to Cuba by a tre- mendous majority, I am told by people who keep in touch with Spanish pelitics that Canovas fully intends to use his majority to pass a tolerably comprehensive scheme of reforms for the island. He is under- stood to have become convinced that this is necessary, and to believe that he is now strong enough to do it. It is evident, from all accounts of elections, that this popular excitement about Cuba has reacted with ost disastrous disorganizing effects on the Spanish domestic politics. Mob vio- Jence, wholesale intimidation and absten- tion of voters, gross corruption and open falsification of ballot returns are alleged all over the peninsula as never before; so that practically the whole reputuble press of Madrid, quite irrespective of party, Joins in gloomy warnings that unless Improve- meut begins at once the monarchy, and, for that, the country itself, will be dcomed.” of the ——see— Dwellings in Alleys.

Whether fn health or discase the free use of pure soft water and the proper kind of soap will be found to be extremely beneficial in preventing as well as curing skin disease. Those parts of the skin that are constantly expesed to the weather, the hands and the face, should be soaped and washed over four or five times daily. The rest of the body from twice to thrice weekly. ‘The actual pain, soreness, smarting and itching tortures that are ‘ever present with certain forms of skin disease rob life of all its nlensu ‘The history of the onee comely now mare sd by disease, Is often this: Que moruing you noticed spots on the face red and inflamed. You were all attention, and asked yourself the question, What do they mean? You shuddered to tiink what they might Indicate. You would have shuddered more had you been answered Acne, or possibly Eezema. Your peace of mind would have ceased at once bad you been told that you were soon to have a face covered with pimples, of all sorts, shapes and sizes, until the countenance became ‘one immense phuply, suppurating, disgusting looking surface.

Now, what causes disedse of the «kin? Right here I want to answer this question in such a way that you will never forget it. While some forms of akin discase aro contagtos, and are taken from those affected, the majority of all skin affections are orought about from an Impure céndition of the blood, from poisons in the blood. ‘When a person's blood is rich and pure and free from ey taint and there will never be veo We Wil start cut by. colmeinelins thor a Shy, uubecsinetion thes: oughly what disease of the skin is—a manifesta- at the blood contains something that don't belong in it, and that something is a the system that must be gotten out before the akin Se ‘clear up = come te natural comico diood may be poisoned in several ways, those ‘sutering from akin disease inee hava ae. herited from their parents or ancestors taiuts and vices of constitution that will show themselves in the form of skin diseases and eruptions, or the h those dis. as a result of hygienic surround- food be ehtlzg {ap much food exercise. ll these blood to become ‘with poleons, and fast such poisons emsel presence oratis diesen pl i WORSE IN FALL AND WINTER. Skin diseases are much more common in the fall, winter and spring than during the summe ‘The reason for this is quite apparent when there is ken into consideration the diference in he mode of Uving at the various perieds of ihe year. the summer time people live largely out of doors, live with their windows up, breathing In plenty of fresh air; they eat less meat, and live larzely | on a diet composed of vegetables and fruit. the bleod is kept cool by the large amount perspiration poured out on the surface of the skin, that brings with it at all times quantities of Waste matters from the blood. As It ts more Plersant to bathe the body in summer than in the Winter, cleanliness a rule is more practiced at that season of the year than in the colder months. ‘The waste matters removed from the blood or skin in the form of perspiration during the au: mer are largely left in the blood during the - ter, and there Is not enough perspieation formed to Wash these matters out of the dlool curr So, added to the poisons that exist ¢ blood as a result of improper living during the winter mouths, there are all those waste ‘matters which a free perspiration removes when the weather is warm enough to produce the perspiration. Many of those who, during the winter, bare been troubled with a skin affection find that during the warm weathe- of su:omer their skin becomes almost well again. Such persons often persuade themselves that their disease has left, never to return. Vain deiuston, for as soon as fall and winter return the old discase comes back with more severity than ever. So the story goes on, better in summer, but bad aguin every winter, and cach year getting a little worse than the year before. ‘This is the history of most skin dis- cases.
