C., June ¢ amor here this afternoon that the E partment would issue a statement out Cuban affairs apropos of the an- nouncement that Consul-General Lee had port to the President which would form the basis for action on the situation on the island. The rumor was erroneous. it was learned, however, that the State Department was confident that no report on which a decisive policy could be framed had been sent. General Lee has been in Cuba a few weeks only and bas not left Havanza in that time. It was remarked by an official that_ the President would not bave gone fishing if be, expectea critical dispatches.

MADRID, Srarx, June The Govern- ment is still uninformed officially of the report ch General Fitzhugh Lee, the American Consul-General at Havana, has made to his Government anent the situa- tionin Cuba. If the tenor of the report is as stated in unofficial dispatches received here it will make General Lee’s stay in Havana difficult. The Senate to-day debated the questions of the relations between Spain and the United States. Professor Comas de- manded that the protoco! of 1877 with the United States be denounced. The speech of Professor Comas was loudly applauded. Senor Castellanos, Minister of the Col- onies, submitted a bill asking for united authority to ra loans to continue oper- ations in Cuba. Another bill was introduced propusing the restoration of reciprocity with Ger- many. sra MOOD. e PROTECTING A PATRIOT. A Cuban Fugitive Finds Safety Under the British Flag. KINGSTON, Jayaica, June 22.—It is re- ported here thiat the commander of a Spanish warship attempted a few days ago to commit & high-handed outrage on Brit- ish territory. A party from the warship landed at Dry Harbor and attempted to kidnap a Cuban residing there, who is prominently connected with the insurrec- tion in Cuba. The attempt failed and the Cuban appealed to the British authorities for protection, which was granted. A number of armed policemen are now pa- trolfing in the vicinity of the Cuban’s house. They are instructed to prevent, by all means, any attempt to carry off the man the Spaniards are desirous of getting hold of.

Want to Be Taken Into Uncle Sam’s Fold. QUARANTINE, 8. L, June 22.—William | Ryan of Richmond, Collector of Internal enue for the Eastern District of Vir- | ginia, | Cuba, and who, it is said, is the bearer of patches from General Fitzhugh Lee to te Department, was a passenger on { the War. line steamer Yumuri, which ar- rived to-day. Along with a number of other persons from the tropical zone, he arantined at Hoffman Island, but Cubans is q | will be released to-morrow morning. Mr. Ryan says the Cubans are more clamorous than ever for annexation to the United States and that while a few repre- sentative men of the island express some doubt as to the possibility of annexation, | the great majority regard such a thing as | at once practical and desirable for both the United Statesand Cuba as the ore solu- | tion of the situation. Sooner or later, the Cubans say, annexation must surely be | accomplished. The members of the au- | tonomist party no longer discuss auton- | omy or home rule under the Spanish flag. They seem to be the chief agitators for American annexation. When asked about his friend, General Fitzhugh Lee. the American Consul-Gen- eral to Cuba, Mr. Ryan said he left him in excellent health and spirits and very busy; that he was making a thorough and im- partial study of tle situation and that he was just now at work on a report to the State Department. Being a thorough sol- dier and & man of affairs, Gene vas thoroughly adapted for the aifficult task which he had undertaken. As to the bas of General Lee's report Mr. Ryan could notsay. He expects, however, toremain in Havana througiout the summer. BEFUSE. PAY N SILVER Foreign Laborers in Pennsylva- nia Excited by a Political Agitator. Sirike for Gold When Told That the American Dollar Is Worth Only Fifty Cents. HAZLETON, Pa., June — The monthly paydays of many of the contrac- tors of this region were in the past week, nd considerable trouble was experienced in paying off the foreign element. They refused 10 take paper or silver money. For the last week or two Anthony Reitz, | a well-educated Austrian who speaks sev- eral languages, has been among the for- eigners and put it into their heads that the silver dollar was not worth more than | 50 cents, and when any foreigner expressed a doubt regarding his statement he read extracts from an American newspaper to substantiate his argument. Jacob Ho an, a contractor, who is build- ing the reservoir at Buck Mountain, em- ploys 300 men who had listened to Reitz’s arguments, and the result was that the | men heid a meeting and decided they | would all be 2old men, not only politically, but commercially, and that their labor should be traded on a sound-money basis only. Reitz, who is an under-boss, communi- cated this fact to Contractor Hogan Thurs- day. The men were to be paid their month’s wages on Saturday. It did not strike Hogan at that time that there would be any difficulty in paying the men in gold. He called at his bank and de- manded $1900 in gold. He was struck dumb when the teller told him he could not get that sum in the entire county. Out of $11,000,000 on deposit in the several banks of the county it is estimated that scarcely half the required amount of gold is in circulation. The laborers, however, have refused to go beyond the $5 limit on silver, and the contractor is very much embarrassed in consequence. S * Reinsurance of a Ship.

CHICAGO, IrL., June 22.—A fatal acci- dent happened to little Jockey Hathersall in the first race at Forsyth to-day. The event was a mile selling affair and Hather- sall had the mount on Littie Jimmy, one of Ed Corrigan’s horses. In rounding the far turn for home, Big Strive, the favorite, and Frank Jaubert wedged and bumped Little Jimmy, causing the horse to stumble and tossing the boy over his head. 7The Iittle jockey was tramped upon by the other horses. He was removed to the Baptist Hospital, where he died half an hour afterward. The boy was only 15 vears of age and the lightest jockey in America. Three favorites won the events: One mile, Big Strive won, Frank Jaubert second, La Crescent third. Time, 1:413{. Four and a half furlongs, Golden Tide won, Brescia_ second, Michael McInerney third.

NEW YORK, N.Y., June 22.—The entry list for the Suburpan handicap to be run to-morrow was made public this after- noon. The following are the announced starters and their jocke Henry of Navarre, Gr Nankipooh, Doggett. Hornpipe, Hamilton. Sir Walter, Ballard, Belmar, Simms. Clifford. Taral. The Commoner, Clayton. The race promises to be one of the best suburbans in years, for none but the best horses in training are left in. The track was very heavy last night after the rain, but it has been drying out fast to-day, and, except in some places, was in a fairly good conditi this afternoon. Superintend- ent Park said it would be as fast as at any time since it was built, and trainers agreed with him. Clifford and Navarre each did their last work in 2:10, and both Rogers and Hyland, their respective trainers, think the race lies between tl , although they have a high respect for The Commoner. Sr THE flin. RYAN WIN FIGHT. Defeats * Shadow ™ Maber of Australia at Buffalo. BUFFALO, N. June 22.—The two welter-weights, Tommy Ryan of Syracuse and “Saadow’” Maber, the Australian, met at the Lyceum Theater to-night under the auspices of the Emvpire Athletic Club for a twenty-round battle. The men entered the ring about 10 o’clock, Maber weighing 152 pounds, while Ryan tipped the beam at 147. Both men were in good condition. Ryan had the best of the fight from the start, but Maber did some very clever work. There were no knockdowns and the battle was a clean one. In theninthround Ryan landed repeatedly, and ended the fight by a heavy heart-blow. 2 Round 1—Maber led. Ryan planted his left in the stomach. The remainder of the round was spent in fiddling. Round 2—Ryan led with his left and lanaed one, and then led Maber & merry chase around the ring. His exhibilion of footwork was sim- ply wonderful. Toward the close of the round Ryen led twice, landing on the neck. Round 3—Maber was willing but his lunges struck the air. Ryan retaliated with his left on the stomach and the right and left on the wind. Maber had Ryan in a corner, but the latter got away without damage. Ina mix-up Ryan put his right on the neck. Round 4—Each landed letts on the face, Msaber put a left swing on Ryan’s wind. About this time he began to show signs of exhaus- tion. Ryan landed a terrific left on the ja: the round ending.with a clinch. Round 5—Ryan put his left on the point of Maber’s jaw. Maber countered lightly, A left on Maber’s nose earned first biood for Ryan. Maber puta hard righton Ryan's ribs, but received three effective lefts on the face which staggered him. Round 6—Ryan did all the leading, landing left and right on the ribs, making Maber wince. The latter put his left on the neck. Round 7—Maber put in his left and right on the jaw, but they were too light to do much dams Ryan swung with right for the body, but missed. Maber put his right on the jaw and staggered Ryan,and foliowed it with a hard drive on the rips. Ryan jabbed Maber in the stomach and followed it up with a right on the face. As the gong sounded Ryan shot his left into Maber's wind. Round 8—There was a light interchange, the first blow of consequence being Ryan’s left on Maber’s kidneys. Round 9—Ryan had all the best of the round. He played repeatedly for Maber'’s kid- neys and landed half a dozen times. A lively interchange followed, and a heart blow dou- bled Maber up. He was carried to his corner and his seconds gave up the fight. There were two preliminary bouts be- fore the Maber-Ryan fight. The first was a six-round affair between Joe Burke and Jack Flynn, local lightweights. It was one of the fiercest goes for its length that have occurred in this city in years. Flynn was given the decision. e, Won by the American Team. SYRACUSE, N. Y., June 22.—A cable- gram just received from Paris gives the news that the international team race at Bordeaux yesterday was won by the Amer- ican team composed of Kiser, Wheeler and Murphy.

CHICAGO, IiL., June 22.—Hoy’s muff of a long fly from Decker’s bat in the eighth in- ning lost the game for the Cincinnatis to-day, as it let in two runs after two men had been retired. It was the closest kind of a contest up to that time, as both pitehers were in the finest form. Attendance 2500. Score: Chi- ; Cincinnatis—1, 9, 3. Batter- idge; Ehretand Peita.

The Leander boat crew made its first appearance on the river to-day and rowed in practice at a twenty-eight stroke with a clean finish. The Yale men are noticeably improving. The English oarsmen now praise their lengthened stroke, and no longer consider it like that of Cornell. ——— Emperor Joseph on Universal Suffrage.

MINISTER TORU TALKS, While Speeding East He Repeats His Nice Sentiments About America. Japan, He Declares, Cannot Be Caliel a Rival to the United States. OMAHA, NgpBR., June 22.—Hoshi Toru, the newly appointed Minister from Japan to the United States, passed through this city to-day on his way East. In an inter- view on political and economic questions he gaid : “Iam no stranger in America, having been here before on two occasions. I have never before, however, been over the Union Pacific or the overland route, I be- lieve you call it, having on my previous trips gone by way of the Canadian Pacific. Iam much pleased by the new route, and if you do not call it an advertisement I would like to have you say this: Japan has made wonderful progress in all lines of marufacturing products, but I don’t think that the country can be called a rival of the United States. Our factories are still in their infancy, and it will be many years before we can reaily be said’ to be competi- tors of the United States. We have com- mittees now en route to this country to inspect your electrical progress. You are not to believe from this that we are wholly deficient in this regard in our country, but we are always looking for an improve- ment in everything that we have, “As regards the late war, I don’t believe that the war feeling has entirely died out; what you would call patriotism is still manifest throughout the country. “‘Asregards Korea. it is true that both Russia and Japan have a watchful eye over it, but it is an independent coun try. The relations between Japan and Russia are most friendly. “*America—and by America I mean the United States—has always had a warm place in the hearts of the Japanese, and we have for everything pertaining to the United States a most warm and enthusi- astic feeling.

IS INSPIRED BY GROVER. But the Administration Men Are Rather Late in Their Work. SOUNDING ALL THE DELEGATES Determin:d but Futile Attempts to Turn a Majority to the Gold Standard. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 22.—The letter of ex-Secretary Whitney is regarded by Democrats here as being in the nature of a compromise tendered the free-silver wing of the Democratic party. Mr. Whit- | ney is understood as receding from the single-gold standard assumed by President Cleveland in his recent interview, and | favoring a straddle on “international bi- | metallism.” For weeks it has been con- | ceded that the free-silver element will control the Chicago convention, not only | by a majority, but by a more than two- thirds vote, thus insuring the naming of an out-and-out silver candidate, to stand upon a free-coinage platform. At the eleventh hour, after three-fourths | of the delegates to the approaching con- | vention had been selected, and after Mr. Cleveland had issned a proclamation de- ! claring in favor of gold monometallism, | without any redeeming sop to the disaf- fected faction of the party, Mr. Whitney is persuaded to forego a European trip and | step into the breach with an olive branch | of peace. The olive branch extended by Mr. Whitney is the same old declaration | regarding the international bimetallism | that bas appeared in the platform of the dominant political parties for many Na- tional campaigns. It means nothing, itis | said, and is on the alleged principle of homeopathic remedies which are said to | do no harm, even if they do no good. In| | short, Mr. Whitney has been selected to | head a movement intended to prevent silver supremacy at the Chicago conven- | tion, and, failing in the attempt, to offer bimetallism as a harmonizing compro- mise. This js regarded as the meat in the cocoanut, so far as Mr. Whitney’s letter is | | concerned. Whitney wiil receive the | | earnest support of every prominent Fed- | | eral office-holder, beginning with the President. The first practical move in that direction made here was to secure a list of all delegates-elect to the Chicago | convention. More than two-thirds of | | these have been chosen. All delegates chosen who are either instructed for silver | or are believed to incline to silver will at | once be communicated with personally, and the delegations for weeks past have | been receiving “‘sound money” literature | from the w York and Boston reform | | clubs, but they will now, it is asserted, | be solicited by letter. Efforts wiil also be made to ascertain their standing in their | communities and what influence, if any, of a local or National nature can be | brought to bear upon them to change their views on the money question. To | this end prominent bankers and mer- chants in communities in which delegates reside will be written to for information, and when in hand this information, with any political pressure that can be brought | from their fellow-Democrats, locally or | nationally, will be utilized in the direction | of the well-known views of the adminis- tration. The President and ex-Secretary Whit- | ney have commenced their campaign too late. They are locking the stable door after the horse has been stolen. It is pointed out that their standing for the views of the administration have been beaten at every turn. Secretary Carlisle tried to save Kentucky, but only one dis- trict in the State pronounced for gold. Senator Bryce has been completely routed in Ohio, and the State Convention | which meets tc-morrow will be almost unanimous for free silver. Secretary Smith took the stump in Georgia until he lost his temper and ex-Speaker Crisp lost his voice, but the result was an over- whelming administration defeat. Secre- tary Herbert could not control his own State of Alabama. Nebraska slippedaway from Secretary Morton. Attorney-General | Harmon will not even try to stem the tide | in Ohio. Will the fate of free silver de- | vend upon a union of Western Republican | States with the Southern Democratic | States? Must there be a coalition of Western Republican silverites with the Democrats of the South? And if this combination is effected what ticket that may be named for President and Vice- President can defeat McKinley and Ho- bart? Union of effort means a union ticket—a man from the West and a man from the South. The Republicans of the West claim the right to name the man for first place. Dis- putes forward Mr. Teller. And, more than that, the West insists that he must be taken. The West has no words of dis- | paragement for the Southern leaders, but | Mr. Teller, as 1t believes, is the one man in the whole country who by his ag- gressive services stands most eminently and distinctly for silver’s cause, and there- fore the man to represent it this year. Teller himself is silent, but available. He knows what is going on in his interests, and he is not objecting. Mr. Dubois, his protege and bosom friend, and now also his fellow-bolter and representative, puts the case with entire frankness. Effective union is impossible without Mr. Teller as the candidate. For second place several strong men are mentioned. They are, of course, South- ern men, and thoroughly representative of their section. Any one of them would be entirely acceptable to the Western man. Daniel of Virginia is one of these. He is a typical Southern man. He has always stood for silver. He wasin the company of those who resisted with all their might the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act. Being a speaker of high repute, he is put forward in the debates, and tackles the biggest of the goldbugs. Captain Evan Howell of the Atlanta Constitution is mentioned. Captain Howel! has never held office, but with his pen has done a great deal for silver. Georgia’s po- sition in the silver line is accredited as much to his influence as to that exerted by Mr. Crisp. The two men have worked together in perfect accord. Captain How- ell was among the first to urge that the West and South should unite to restore silver to its former place as money of re- demption in this country. A third and interesting man mentioned is Eustis of Louisiana. And an interest- ing announcement just now is that Mr. Eustis is on the ocean on his way home for a visit. He will land in New York next Saturday. Although in office under this administration, he is a silver man. His most notable speech while he wasin the Senate was in advocacy of the free coinage of silver, and it was regarded as the most notable speech of that session on that subject. Itis likewise urged in sup- port of Mr. Eustis that he is a thorough American, and in his London speech last year led all those members of his party who have since insisted on a stiff assertion of American rights and American obliga- | tions. He found his voice on that subject eight months before his chief 1n the White House did. | The list is a pretty full one. Walt Hall of Mississippi, Morgan of Alabama, Bland | of Missouri and Culberson of Texas are all in it. e g i FIRM FOR SOUND MONEY, But Ex-Governor Russell of Massa- chusetts Is Not After the Presli- dential Namination. BOSTON, Mass., June 22.—When seen to-day in regard to the report that he was going to Chicago with ex-Secretary Whit- ney, Ex-Governor W. E. Russell said: ‘At the earnest request of Mr. Whitney and others I am going to Chicago with him to give whatever help I can in the struggle in the Democratic party for sound money against free silver. My own views on the subject are well known and have been | often stated. Believing the issue to be of | the gravest importance, not only to the | country, but to the present and future of | the Democratic party, I cannot remain inactive if it is thought I can| be of any service at Chicago. I | cannot, however, go to Chicago under the least suspicion that I am there for any | personal reasons, nor can I take part in | this fight embarrassed by any personal in- | terest in the result. I shall, therefore, de- | cline to have my name presented to the | convention as a candidate, I believe in making the stoutest pos- sible fight for sound money and the gold | standard and shall not give up the fight until the votes are counted.
