BITTER NEWSPAPER COMMENT
A Correspondent Thinks Thlr Country
Should Be Humiliated Wey
ler's Lale Proclamation.
, New Yobk, May 15. A special to the
Herald, from Havana, says:
La Correspondent Militaire, in a
leading article, urges an immediate dec
laration of war bv Soaiu against the
United States.
The writer professes his belief, that
vhnn the first cannon was fired the
Southern states would again withdraw
and preserve neutrality and Mexico
would invade the country, to recover its
lost territory in the West, and thus in
sure the quick dismemberment and last
ing humiliation of the great republic.
Captain-General Weyler, in extending
his proclamation of amnesty, says :
"I am determined to Bhow as much
generosity toward these rebels who re
pent and EUi ieoder tueir arms and re
swear their allegiance to the govern
ment, as I have already displayed energy
And firmness in dealing with those who
have persisted in disloyalty to the
crown."
Senor Corro, mayor of Barracoa,
where the filibuster Competitor was
captured, is in Havana, and had a long
conference with the captain-general.
Mayor Corro says the Competitor party
disembarked in a small zinc boat, let
. tered "S.' T. R." on Shelter island No. 4.
It was he who discovered, partially con
cealed on the beach, the 27 boxes of car
tridges heretofore announced as captured
toy the government.
The Havana press re-echoes the cabled
opinions of Madrid journals, urging the
Spanish government to abrogate the ex
isting treaty and protocol with the
United States.
Owing to the growing scarcity of
horses in the central provinces, Maximo
Gomez, on his present counter-march
westward, has been compelled to dis
mount several thousand of tbe rebel
cavalrymen and re-organize them as in
fantry. The insurgent forces in the burned
districts in Santa Clara and Matanzas,
are also beginning to feel tho dearth of
cattle and forage. Two hundred refu
gees and families left homeless by the
insurgents' torches, reached the govern
ment post in Babia Honda, Finer del
Bio, Thursday night, seeking food and
temporary shelter. The authorities are
providing for them as far as possible.
HEAVY SPANISH LOSS.
Aa Entire Company of Soldiers
Ma-
cUeted by Insurgents.
New Yobk, May 15. The Herald's
correspondent in Puerto Principe, Cuba,
reports that the Spanish column of 1500
men which left that city April 26, under
command of General ImenezCatlellanos,
governor of tbe province, has net yet re
turned, being Btill in pursuit of the
rebels, with whom it has had several en
gagements. It is reported that Cattel
lanos' force has Buffered heavy losses
and that au entire company was ma
cbeted by insurgents under Rabi.
The insurgent president, Cisneros, and
Secretary of War, Koloff, are still in that
province, where Calixto Garcia, escorted
by Jose Maceo's forces, is momentarily
expected from the Orient.
' The large number of desertions from
the Spanish ranks is alarming the au
thorities. The entire garrison in Giban
icu has been relieved, by order of the
governor, who accidentally discovered a
conspiracy to go over to the rebels in a
body. The captain and lieutenants were
placed under arrest, while the corporal
and a private were publicly shot two
days ago. A sergeant belonging to the
same company had previously deserted
to the rebels. The principal cause of
discontent among the 'Spanish troops is
ill-treatment and lack of pay.
THE GOLD RESERVE.
Decreasing at the Rate of Almost
One
: Million Dollars Dally.
Chicago, May 15. A Chronicle spe
cial from Washington says : ,
May 1st tbe gold reserve in the treas
ury stood at $125,000,000; today it is a
trifle over $114,000,000. In twelve work
ing days $11,000,000 in gold has been
taken from the treasury, and there is
not, it is Baid, the slightest indication of
any abatement in the export of the yel
low metal.
The last payments of the recent popu
lar loan have been made, and the gold
reserve can therefore expect no accre-
I tioris other than those which! will come
; to it in the ordinary way. . v
While the withdrawals of gold are not
enoueh to be a positive menace, they
are causing anxiety to the treasury offi
cials. If there is anything like a steady
increase in the withdrawals, it is said
that Mr. Cleveland will make an effort
to secnre legislation to check it.
Congress expects to arij mm some time
between Jussr 2 i and 10th. There is
long stretch bPtwe-n that date and th
first Monday in December, in which the
president would have to act without the
aid of congress, should the conditions of
last fall be duplicated. The adminis
tration has been for some time consid
ering the possibility of just such a situa
tion developing after the adjournment
of congress.
Should circumstances warrant, it
said the president will send a message to
congress on the eve of adjournment, in
sisting that conerees furnish some
measure of relief to the treasury be
fore adjournment.

FOR THE CORONATION
Visitors From All Over the
World at Moscow.
FETES WILL LAST THREE WEEKS
The American Legation Decorations
of the Kremlin Other For
eign News.
Moscow, Russia, May 16. This old
town is rapidly filling up with visitors
from all parts of tbe world, who have
come to witness the ceremonies attend'
ing the coronation of the czar and czar
ina, which will extend over a period of
three weeks, beginning, according to
program, with the arrival of their ma
jesties at the Petrovoski palace, outside
the city, on Monday, and ending with
their departure for St. Petersburg, June
7th. .
The streets are filled with people of all
nations and delegates from all parts of
the empire. The weather, up to tbe
present, has been a little too cold to be
pleasant, but a change is expected before
the fetes begin. A question- legarding
the precedence of Prince Henry of Prus
sia, representing .bmperor wiiiium or
Germany, and the Duke of Connaught,
representing Queen Victoria, has been
settled in favor of the latter.
Tbe American legation is the center of
attraction for Americans here. The lat
ter ate headed by General McD. McCook
representing President Cleveland, and
tbe legation has been his headquarters.
Tbe building is well situated, and affords
a fine view of the boulevards. It is very
handsomely decorated inside.
The decorations of the Kremlin are
about completed. The old domes have
been freshly gilded, and the richly
tinted towers are most picturesque
The public is freely admitted, and there
is a constant procession oi pilgrims to
Uspenski cathedral.
A decree has been promulgated pro
hibiting, during the fetes, riding on
horseback or on bicycles in the streets,
or boating on the river. This step was
taken iu view of the immense crowds of
people expected here.
THE CLERGY AROUSED.
Emperor William Interferes With Their
Rights.
Berlin, May 16. The German clergy;
Protestant and Catholic, are thoroughly
aroused in consequence of Emperor
William's telegram to Gehimrath
Kinzptr. regarding Dr. Stoecker, the ex-
court chaplain and Christian-socialist
leader, which was published with his
majesty's consent. This message was al
most brutally brusque,Jand read :
The clergy must not meddle with
politics, because it is no concern of
theirs." .
This angered the clergymen, and the
whole clerical press has been expressing
indignation. Dr. Stocker has made an
outspoken protest in his organ, the
Evangelic.! Church Gazette, in which
he says the emperor, when still Prince
William, himself characterized the
Christian-social activity of the clergy as
a means of vanquishing socialism. Dr.
Stoeker added :
"Since Christian-social thought was
tabooed in Berlin, socialism reigns po
litically there. As I have begun, bo
shall I continue. I leave the end to
God."
Two of the leading clerical organs, the
Eeichsbote and the Volk, severely con
demn and deplore tbe publication of tbe
telegram, classing it as "inconsiderate"
and "unjust," and ' pointing out that
clergymen, by the constitution, are
granted the same rights as other citizens.
The Roman Catholic organs, Ger-
maniaand-the Cologne Volks-Zeitung,
publish articles of a similar tone. The
socialist press denounce the telegram as
imperial interference with constitutional
rights, and in various parts of Germany,
clerical synods have taken pains to ex
press confidence' in Dr. Stoeker and his
methods and severely criticize his maj
esty's telegram.
M'KIKLEY AND THE A. F. A.
The Advisory Board Decides That It
Was Misinformed.
Washington, May 16. Today's ses
sion of the American Protective Associa
tion supreme council was the most inter
esting of the convention, because pf the
action of the executive committee of the
advisory board in blacklisting Major Mc
Kinley as a presidential candidate was
to be reviewed. The report of the ad
visory board upon the action of its com
mittee was made to the council late in
the session.
It was technically an endorsement of
the executive committee. It asserted in
substance that the executive committee
was warranted, in view of the evidence
presented, in placing the ban on Mc
Kinley, but, in addition, it stated that
further examination of the testimony by
the full board has convinced the mem
bers that the witnesses were unreliable,
and that their statements were not cor
rect, therefore the board concludes Mc
Kinley should be placed upon the same
footing, as far as members of the A. P,
A. are concerned, with the other candl
dates for presidential nominations, and
not be discriminated against.
Appended to the report was a state
ment in writing by Delegate Huddleson
of California, who asserts that the com
ruittee, of which he was chairman, in
terviewed McKinley at Canton, O., on
the 14th inst., and that the inter
view was satisfactory. Other members
of the committee are stated to have been
Delegate Vanfossen, Washington and S
C. E. Zypt, state chairman of Kentucky
VIGOROUS MEASURES.
Bow the
Competitor Prisoners' Lives
Were Saved.
New Yobk, May 18. A Herald special
from Havana says :
JThe action of Consul-General Will
iams, in protesting against the methods
of tbe trial of tbe prisoners of the schoon-
er Competitor, made by the Spanish au
thorities, is wortn more tnan a passing
mention.
Before the court-martial closed, Con-
sul-General Williams' letter of protest
was read. The representative of the
United States quoted the treaties exist
ing between the United States and
doubted tbe right of the latter to try
American citizens and others - sailing
under the American flag, by other than
civil law, adding that in the letter they
must be judged by ordinary and not by
military and naval courts, and be per
mitted to employ legal counsel and pre
sent witnesses in evidence.
A note by the judge advocate-general,
which had also been indorsed by Ad
miral Navarro, the highest naval officer
of Spain in Cuba, ruling Consul-General
Williams' protest as without good
ground and out of order, was also read
and noted.
Within four hours after the court-
martial closed its session, at a special
meeting in the afternoon, its 'members
sent to Admiral Navarro a sealed ver
dict, which was immediately approved
by the naval chief. The sentences of all
five prisoners to death, In accordance
with the verdict, was signed at once
and preparations were made to have the
men shot.
Keceiving no satisfactory response
from the admiral, nor even an invitation
to attend tbe proceedings, neither Con
sul-General Williams nor anv attache
of his office was present at the court-
martial, nor was he allowed to see the
prisoners until the trial was closed.
Naturallv he laid the whole case before
the Btate department at Washington
early, and received instructions as
prompt as energetic.
When these arrived be went immedi
ately to the palace, where a stormy in
terview with Captain-General Weyler
occurred. The general told the consul-
general that if the men had been con
victed, as the latter supposed, they
would most certainly be shot at sunrise
the following morning, despite any pro
test the United States might make.
"If you shoot them," said Mr. Will
iams, "my government instructs me to
close Us consulate here and demand my
passports, and I shall most certainly
hold you and your government respon
sible should these prisoners be executed
before our ' protest be given due Consid
eration."
When Mr. Williams bowed himself
out of the general's presence, he drove
back to bis office. The excitement that
followed at ' the palace was indescriba
ble. The leading personages advised the
authorities to suspend the execution
pending further instructions from Mad
rid. General Weyler said if . the men
were not executed he would resign, and
so telegraphed ' the Spanish ministry.
In the meantime it appears the United
States was, through. Minister Taylor,
bringing pressure to bear also at Madrid.
Orders came from Spam to suspend all
proceeding and directing the captain-
general and admiral fo transmit all doc
uments in the case to Madrid for con
sideration there by the supreme military
and naval council and cabinet. The
transfer of the case to Madrid will give
the prisoners at least a month or six
weeks' respite. i

A TERRIFIC GALE.
Great Niagara Frnlt Belt Damaged by
the Storm.
Niagara Falls, May 18. The great
Niagara fruit belt has been severely
damaged by the terific gale which pre
vailed all day yesterday.
The wind began early in the morning
to blow ' strong ' from the west and by
noon it was a howling gale, which tore
young fruit off in clusters. The Indica
tions from the blossoms in tbe orchards
throughout this section, pointed to one
of the largest fruit' crops in years. The
fruit was formed Bplendidly. There has
been no frost and fruitgrowers were con
gratulating themselves on the future,
when the gale came along and changed
tbe aspect of affairs.
Apples, pears and plums suffered tbe
most. So fierce was the gale, that whole
branches were torn from the trees.
Small fruits escaped without much dam
age. It is estimated that half of the
apple crop is lost and nearly as much in
pears and plums. Peaches suffered
some, but nothing ' near to what tbe
others did. ' .
Change In the Ballot Law,'
Attention has repeatedly been called
to the change made by the last legis
lature in the election law, by Which tbe
name of the candidate is to be marked
with a cross, the old way of marking out
names not voted for being superseded.
Two other changes mnst be noted. One
is that the various legislative tickets are
grouped by parties, instead of the whole
batch of legislative nominees being ar
ranged alphabetically. It is also pro-

J. H. Zeilin & Ock, Philadelphia, Pa.
vided that a candidate's name must ap
pear' in but one place on the ticket,
though his party endorsements are to be
set down opposite him. There appears
to be considerable chance for the exer
cise of -discretion by the county clerk in
arranging the party sobriquets. He
might be expected to arrange a man's
party endorsements in the order of their

Range Peddleis Again.
Every little while we hear about our
old friends, the range peddlers. Now it
is the Dayton, Ohio, papers that tell of
arrests of range agents; now it is Jeffer
son connty, Kansas, dealers who com
plan of the competition of these itiner
ants; Canadian trade papers have
spitted and roasted them as has this
this journal ; New Jersey dealers and
the Windham connty, Connecticut,
trade have seen these gentry loom np on
their horizon, and now Butte, Montana,
conies to the front as the ecene of their
operations. The Silver Bow region has
been thoroughly worked by these peo-.
pie, judging from the tenor of a little
article in Home Industry, a paper de
voted to the mercantile interests of
Butte. According to this paper a few
Butte people paid a double eagle more
for one of these ranges than a superior
range would have cost then in Butte.
The range peddlers would jump around
on the range, throw the stove lids in'
the floor and impress people with the
strength of the goods of the Wrought
Iron Range Co., of St. Louis, Mo., who
make tbe Home Comfort ranges. These
ranges were sold on tbe installment
plan, and Home Industry cays three
carloads were sold in Butte alone. There
are hardware stores in Butte. There
are experienced hardware men there
who pay taxes and spend their incomes
in that city. What is more.tbese dealers
sell an a No. 1 steel range at better
prices than these itinerants, and in case
of defects in the goods or needed repairs
they are there to remedy the evils,
while the peddlers 'ike the Irishman's
flea are somewhere else. In case any
dealer's territory is invaded by a range
wagon he should not enpinely abandon
the field, but should take the most ag
gressive steps.-' He should enlist the
local press on his- side and should also
write us for numbers of The American
Artisan containing accounts of the oper
ations of range peddlers in other locali
ties. The American Artisan.
