Thejstaigs were made by blood from the body of a mem)ei of the crew of the Dauntless, twain by' the’ shot frorh the 'Spaniard. For jous reasons Captain Lemm and his crew will not admit that the Dauntless was chased by a Spanish gumbogé or even that the vesselsaa@ been in Gubgn. waters, but from a reliable squrce the correspondent has learned the,story. It was 2 o'cloc ber 18 that the cargo of ‘arms “and ammunit: Cuban insurgents, reached a point on the nerth coast of the province of Pinar del where ‘a detachment! front “Afaceo's army was waiting'to receive thé munitions.

But while the captain was congratulating himself there came a puff of smoke from the Contramastra, fol- Jowed by a roar, and a’‘solid shot came toward the Dauntless. A mo- ment later there was & shrick of agony from the hurricane deck of the Dauntless, and, pushing to the pilot house, Captain Lomm found that one uf his crew had been cut in twain by the shot from the Spantard. The victim was standing in tne doer of the pilot house, and the shot struck-him about the middle, cutting aim completely in two and then tearing a great hole in-the side of the pilot house.

It is said that Henry Wilkerson, who ship- ped on the Dauntless, is missing, and it is CHANCES IN NEBRASKA At Present They Seem to Favor tho Silver Fusionists, Republican State Committee Seem to Have Made Blanders— Will Make Strong Efforts From Now On. . Correspondence of The Evening Star. OMAHA, October 29, 1896. Nehraska has eight electoral votes. Both republicans and silver fusionists con- fidently claim the election, the former by not less than 5,000, the la:ter by not less than 18,000. The chances today seem to favor the fusioniste, albeit the state of Ne- braska has always gone republican in pres- idential elections. There ‘s a panic in republican circles. The campaign has been nothing but a series of blunders from the Gay the state central committee was named. The great-. est sensation yet sprung upon the inner circle, however, was the report that the state committee is $2,000 in the hole, not- withstanding the fact that the national committee has sent into this state, all told, a little over thirty thousand dollars to help defeat Bryan in his own state. The exasperating feature of the case is that the army of clerks employed by the | state committee are clamoring for mone: as they have not been paid a cent sins they were first employed. Many of then brought their families to Lincoin and put up at the best hotels, the landlords of which are now demanding pay, and have been put off with promises so long that they were forced to give the exact state of facts to the chief candidates and to the party leaders in Omaha and in Chicago. Republicans Demoralized. Men are asking, What has become of the $30,000 in cash which Mr. Hanna sent to Nebraska? There 1s no evidence of it in Omaha, where the republican managers seem to have made no impression whatever upon the labor vote. In previous years this vote has been largely _populistic, and has averaged about 3,000. Tne democratic vote in the city is about 7,000. These elements, together with silver prohibitionists and republicans, hav: fermed absolute fusion. There never was a time when republicans were called upon to do harder or rore effective work, yet they are discordant, incompetent, demoral- ized. Some money has been spent in this city for hustlers, halls, street demonstra. tions and polis, but little or nothing ha: teen done to win back republicans who de- serted the party for free silver. “Our heavy work will not Legin until the last week of the campaign,” said a local leader today, “and then our critics will have no further cavse for complaint. All we lack is money.” It is understood that $10,000 will be forthcoming from the national commit- tee for use in Omaha alone. To this will be added the sum of $8,500 raised by the local non-partisan sound money league an1 the assessments made upon a long list of Iccal republican candidates. A Secret Conference. Sunday evening there was a secret con- ference of party leaders in the interest of the McKinley electoral tickt. The unsatis- factory reports coming from Lincoln re- specting the work of the state committee and the alleged misappropriation of cam- pa‘gn funds were the occasion of the meet- jug. The upshot of it all is that the big men of Omaha have leagued together for Jacksonville, 1.44; Hatteras, 1.08; East- THE MUDDLE IN TEXAS LL Both the Demcoratic and Populist Parties ‘Are Badly Split. -Republicans Think There is‘a Fight- ing Chance to Carry the State— ‘The Vote Analyzed. Correspondence of The Evening Star. GALTESTON, Tex., October 20, 1896. The political situation in Texas has been in such a muddle for some time past as to'defy the perceptive powers of the most astute politic'ans in the state. The situa- tion kas becn complicated by the extent and variety of the fusion arrangements between democrats and populists and re- publicans and populists and the unusual manifestation of nompartisan independent political sentiment. The republican vote in the state will be practically unanimous for McKinley and Hobart, and for the party nominees for Congress, but will be con- siderably divided on the state ticket. It wiil be lurger by at least 25 per cent than ever before, due to the natural increase and to the fact that for the first time since reconstruction was accomplished the Tepublicans be.ieve they have a good chance to carry the state for their rational ticket. Democrats and Popslists Split. The demccratic party is probably wors: split up in Texas than in any other of the southern state, because of intense distat- isfaction ¥ ith the action of the atate execu- tive committee, which brought about an unalterable division, ard becasse of the alleged state house ring which is in con- trol of the party machinery, which enables those in oftice to perpetuate their rule either by continul:.g in office or by deter- mining their successors. The revolt 1s more open and more determined, too, Le- cause in this state there is no fear of negro domiration, as there is in some of the cotton states i which the negro popula- tioa 18 predominant. Bryan and Watson and McKinley and Ho- bart tlckets. The middle-of-the-road pop- ulists, who are greatly in the majority, will either vote for Bryan and Watson or McKinley and Hobart, but in what propor. tion it is at this time impossible to say Three weeks ago the republican ticket, not- withstanding the efforts at fusion in that direction, could not have claimed more than 5 per cent of them. Today the indi- cations are decidedly. more favorable. It would probably not be far out of the way to say that with the present feeling of re- sentiment against the managers of Mr. Bryan's campaign ard the flerce denunc! tion of democracy by the populist leal- ers, the trend is toward MeKinle the probability is that the Chicago ticket will not reccive more than a limited per cent of the populist vote. Relative Voting Strength. In 1888 the whcle vote cast in the state footed up 357,513, of which Cleveland re- ceived 234,883 and Harrison 88,420. In 15 the total vote reached 422,414, the agzre- gate democratic and republican vote near- ly the same as in ISS8, the increase going te the populist party ticket. In 1894 the total vote was increased to 427,00), and in this election the populists polled, in round figures, 160,000 votes and the democrats 241,000. In 1896 the total vote is expected to reach 200,040 The immigration into south Texas dur- ing the last three or four years has been mainly from the populistic western states, ircreasing the populist vote. That into north Texas is mostly republican. If the pcpulist vote were concentrated on its party electoral ticket this year it would probably reach 170,000. The republican have not cast so large a vote since as th: did In 1888, but it is admitted thet mean- while the party has been growing stronger year by year, and with such an inducement as the hope of victory it is only rersonable to expect that will show an inherent KK) votes, There are proba- Bly 60,000 sourd money democrats in Texas who will not vote for Bryan. At least ti per cent of them will voie fer McKinley. Probably not more than 30 per cent of the populist vote will be cast for the Bryan and Watson ticket when election day comes round If the expectations of the leaders are realized, as the result of fusion, at least 40 per cent of the remainder will vote for McKinley, giving the republican elec- ters a net gain of 10 per cent, or 17, votes. Add together the McKinley vote and svbtrect the sound money or gold standard from the Gemocratic total, and the count stands: For McKinley, 182,000; for Bryan and Sewall, 174,000. Majority Will Not Re Large. It is not pretended that these figures are accurate or based upon anything more solid and substantial than an intelligent estimate of the relative voting strength of the parties as the present situation in- dicates. The strength of the republican- populist fusion is not yet definitely known. It has not fully developed. The claim made by the democratic press and leaders is that the masses of the populists are un- alterably for free silver, and cannot be persuaded to follow their leaders into the republican fold. The populist candidate fur Congress in the first district has just come out in favor of the republican electoral ticket, and says he is moved to this course by the advice and desires of his party con- stituents as much as by his own dcsires in the matter, for the reason that they are more interested in the success of their own state ticket and in the law-making branch of the general government than in the elec- tion of a President. With the populist, re- publican and anti-Bryan democratic vote concentrated on the populist state ticket, its election would be assured, and the same combination by united action could give the state to McKinley by a handsome majority, but many republicans will not vote the populist state ticket, and many nopulisis cannot be persuaded to vote for republican electors. As matters stand, the chances favor Bryan-and Sewall, but the majority will not be large either way. ——___ MANY POPULISTS FOR McKINLEY. Their Electo: Ticket im Georgia Hanled Down.
