When Weyler heard of the rumors he summoned the young man to the palace and questioned him. Weyler was apparently satisfled of the young man’s guilt, and told him that if he did not commit suicide in twenty-four hours he would be court-martialed and shot. The Neutenant left the palace, went to his room, and in six hours was a corpse, having shot himself through the heart. The affair was hushed up, and the Spanish oflicial report said the young man died of yellow fever. Shortly afterward Gen. Ochando arrived in Havana and learned the true story of his nephew's death. He was greatly enraged. He immediately went to the palace to call Gen. Weyler to account. The meeting of the generals was inost sensational. Ochando denounced Wey- ler in the bitterest terms, alleging that the lieutenant was guiltless, and had been driven to his death. Ochando termed Wey- ler a murderer and butcher and challenged him to a duel. The men drew swords, and would have fought in the palace but for the interference of other officials. .two days later Gen. Ochando sailed for Spain. He is greatly enraged, and says he will make the affair public when he reaches Spain and demand Weyler’s recall. = ees es DEMOCRATIC PLANS Representative McMillin Will Prepare the Campaign Book.

The first grand dress bail of the season took place last evening at Hampton Viila and proved to be the most successful affair of this kind ever given in Loudoun county. The beautiful spacious pavilion was handsomely decorated with flags and bunting and the darcers were led through the maxes of the waltz by the Winchester String and Brass Band. In addition to the home guests invitations had been extend- ed to the guests at Hamilton, Leesburg, Purcellville and Union. Among thos present were Mrs. Jack Iseman of Balti- more, who wore a lavender organtiy trim- med with duchesse lace, diamond and pearl ornaments. Those from Washington were Miss Bischoff, in white trimmed with lace; Miss Edna Weyl, in green bengaline; the Misses Acker, pink and canary. silks with lace trimming: Miss Tillie Raff,white swiss organdie backed with yellow silk; Miss Hattie Weyl, white figured swiss; Miss Reed, old rose organdie trimmed with taifeta ribbon; Mrs. A.

The scene was further brightened by a score of little ones in dainty party dresses. About midnight re- freshments were served and dancing was resumed until 3 o'clock a.m., wien the band struck up “Home, Sweet Home,” to which accompaniment leave was taken of one of the most successful party affairs ever given in this section of Virginia. pees THE SENTENCE SUSTAINED.

GOSSIP South Carolina’s Governor Likely to Succeed Irby. STATE PRIMARIES SOON 70 BE HELD Ellerbe Likely to Be at the Head of the Ticket. BITTER CAMPAIGN ENDED = Special Correspondence of The Evenirg Star. COLUMBIA, 8S. C., August 15, 1896. The primary election for nominees of the democratic party of South Carolina will be held in a few days. The nominees will be for United States Senator, governor, mem- bers of the legislature and county officers, and the nominations are equivalent to elec- tion, as there are no indicationg of a break in the democratic ranks or of activity in republican ranks, which are divided, as in other state, into two factions. It is generally conceded that Gov. John Gary Evans, a protege of Senator Tillman, will be nominated for United States Sena- tor to succeed Senator Irby, and that he will be elected by the legislature which meets in January. Goy. Evans’ opponents, John Duncan and Judge Earle, do not seem to have made any headway in their opposi- tion. Goy. Evans is backed by the power- ful influence of Senator Tillman, whose word 1s practically law with the reform voters of the state. Wm. H. Ellerbe, who was defeated for the gubernatorial nomination two years ago by Gov. Evans, will be nominated with ease for governor. His only opponent, G. Waltoa Whitman, does rot have the sup- port of a.y of the factions in the state. Mr. Ellerbe is an ex-controller general un- der the Tillman administration, and is from Marion county. i If Gov. Evans is elected United States Senator he will be the youngest man in the Senate. He will be little over thirty- five years of age when he takes his seat. He is the youngest governor the state has had since the war. He ts a relative of Gen. Mart Gary, whose exploits in the memora- ble campaign of 1876 are well known to democrats all over the south. All of the candidates for the Senate advocate the free coinage of silver. Gov. Evans is a rabid advocate of the white metal, and is some- thing of a “fire eater” in his way. A Bitter Campaign. The campaign which has just closed has been a bitter on? personally. Governor Evans and Judge Earle had a fisticuif ‘on the stand at Florence, und at Union a per- sonal difficulty between Governor Evans and John Duncan was avoided by the sher- iff of the county interposing his form an authority. Mr. Duncan has chirged Gov- ernor Evans with crookedness in conne tion with the refunding of the state bonds and also with the state dispensary.: Phe. governor has denied these things gener- ally, but has not been specific. Not enough has been proven, however, to break the popularity of the governor with his constituents. Senator Irby has cornpletely dropped out ef the political calculations in the state. Two years agu he was the chiirman of the state democratic executive commit- tee. He was instrumental in Evins’ nom- ination as governor, and in his election, when he was orposed by Sampson Pope. ‘Two years later he is beaten by the m: he heiped to mak governor, and is thor- ishly ignored as a factor in any situa- tion. He is supposed to be giving what- ever influence he still retains to Judge Earle as against Governor Evans. The Dispensary Law a Fixt The dispensary law has become such a permanent institution that there is ne se- rious ovpusition to it from any quarter this year. It promises to remain a state institution for year It has already de- veloped into a great political machine, and is used for all it is worth by the ad- ministraiion. The various disp-nsers,; eon: stables, etc., receive their appointment from the governor, and immediately be- come adherents of his. In every county in the state are county boards of control, the members of which are practically appoini- ed by the governor. The 30,000 democrats of the siate who have long opposed Sena~ tor Tillman and his faction have apparent- ly ven up all hope of defeating that element of the party. They refrain fram joining the repubiicans because of the ig- rominy which is supposed to attach to that ecurse. > AT POUGHKEEPSIE. BRYAN Yielded to the Demands of the Crowa and Made a Speech. POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., August 17.— When Mr. Bryan reached Poughkeep about 400 persons were at the dock to gr et him. They followed him up Sth street, cheering and shcuting for a speech. When he reached the depot the crowd became so insistent that Mr. Bryan finally yielded to their wishes, and, standing outside the on a box, sad a few words. In brief he said: “Lam up here for a rest, and 1 did not ¢x-: pect to make a speech, but I probably shail not see you again, and I shall take this op- pertunity to say a few words to you. Iam very glad to sce you all. From the tone of the New York opposition press one would be led to suppose that there is no silver senti- ment in this state I am glad to see here a refutation of that fallacy and to notice that even the great New York dailies cannot stifle the wishes of the people. This is a time when the thinking people outnumber the poiiti- cians and the corporations, and when the people will act according’ to their own Judgment. “It is to be the greatest campaign that ve young people have ever seen, and I be- leve it is a great, good sign when we can, as in this campaign, foresee independence. We are naturally an independent people, and th's is a time when that independence will be asserted.” Then Mr. Bryan sai here are silver men?” A number of men raised their hands and said: “I want you to study up this matter and see how many sliver men you can get for our campaign. “How are you for the workingman? shouted a man in the crowd. Mr. Bryan hesitated a second and held his index finger poised as he answered “Will you take what I have said and what I have done, consider it very careful- ly, and then judge as between our cause and that of our opponents? Candidates represent. only the policies of the‘r parties, end it is therefore not for me to tell you what is your duty. “It Is for you to study the Issues, and I am glad that you are doing that; and when you find out what your duty is, do it.” Mr. and Mrs. Bryan left on the 1:50 New Yerk Central train for Tivoli, where Mr. Perrine will meet them. — LIEUT.
