HIS OPINION OF WAR DEMOCRATS Row st nn Alabama Convention Meeting; of Nevada Republicans Bolea' letter. WASHINGTON, April 19. In replr to a letter from the editor of the Hamilton Democrat. Hamilton. O.. relative to a paragraph which has been going the rounds of the newspapers. Admiral Dewey today sent the following communication: "Washington. D. C. April 19. 1900. Dear Sir: I am In receipt of jour letter of the 15th Inst, asking If I am correctly report ed as saying: 'Well, I'll tell you what a Democrat Is: In time of war a Democrat is a d d traitor; in time of peace he is a d d fool." In reply I have to state that this is one of the thousands of lies uttered concerning me, to attempt to contradict all of which would require more time than is at my command. However, since you extend the opportunity. It gives me pleas ure to state that I have never said or thought of such a thing as the foregoing statement accredited to me. I have a very fond remembrance of thousands and tens of thousands of "War Democrats' whom I knew, and who are some of the best fighters this country ever saw. Very truly yours, GEORGE DEWET. "Homer Gard, Esq., Hamilton Democrat. Hamilton, O." EX-GOVERNOR BOIES' LETTER. Denounced the Administration's Phil ippine Policy. NEW YORK. April 19. At the Jeffer son day banquet of the Democratic Club in Brooklyn last night a letter of regret from ex-Governor Boies, of Iowa, was , read, as follows: "I am sorry It is impossible for me to attend the Jefferson banquet. "The war with Spain was a reaffirm nnec of the principle underlying our own form of government, that found expres sion in a loyal declaration by a united people that Cuba should of right be free. No nation on earth ever championed a nobler cause. "The end came. The grip of a. tyrant had been broken. Spain was at our feet. Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines at our disposal. It needed but a simple de mand from us to make them forever free. But here we halted. A word that would have made the name of America Immor tal was never spoken. Greed took the place of charity and usurped the throne of justice. We wanted an excuse for ex ploiting the Philippines, and made a vol untary donation of $23.000.COO of gold to Spain to find it. What followed? I wish to God we could blot from the annals of our race this page of American history as it must be written, and go shame faced, as it will, through all the ages to come. The truth is. we have simply changed places with Spain, and snatched from her palsied hand the sword she could no longer wield, and turned it against a race she had become powerless further to oppress. "Look at the little Island of Puerto Rico, that welcomed us as deliverers from an oppressor's hand. What do we find? A people denied the most valuable privi leges they enjoyed under a despotism that furnished our only excuse for war; a race of vassals without a right we are bound to respect foreigners, in fact, who can not enter our gates without paying trib ute on the. products of their toll, or take " -unincumbered from our hands that which their needs require yet our subjects in name, over whom the American flag Is to .float forever, to be ruled ss our lordly will may determine. "With unseemly haste a Republican Con gress and a Republican President struck from the statutes of their country a tariff tax framed for revenue, the only purpose for which taxes can rightfully be laid, and built in its place a huge wall in front of every port of the Nation, in the shad ows of which an Infamous brood of life sucking trusts has been nursed, until there is scarcely a manufactured neces sity of life the market price of which to American consumers is not fixed by the greed of some giant corporation. "We are at the threshold of another National campaign. The Issues upon which It Is to, be fought will be made by the Democratic party. What shall they be? Antl-lmperlallsm. anti-militarism and anti-monopoly and death to trusts." GOVERNOR TAYLOR INDICTED. Humor Tkat He Is Chanced With Connection With Goebel Mnrder. FRANKFORT. Ky.. April 19.

RETIREMENT OF THE PESO PUERTO RICANS WILL BE SUPPLIED WITH AMERICA MONEY. Two Colnsure Experts sSeleeted to Go to the Island and Make the Ex. change. WASHINGTON, April 18. The Treasury Department bar completed the arrange ments for the retirement of Puerto RIcan money, and the substltuptlon of American currency. James A. Sample, the chief of the Issue division of Treasurer Roberts' office, and W. P. Watson, of New York, an expert accountant, have been selected to go to Puerto Rico to make the, ex change. Mr. Watson, was appointed Audi tor of Customs for Cubq when the United States took charge there and remained In that work until his health failed. He 'DEWEVS has no recovered, and has accepted the appointment offered- him. The work Is to be done under the Puerto Rico bill re cently passed by Congress, which provides for the retirement of the Puerto RIcan peso and all other money on the island, and tho exchange therefor of American money. It Is estimated that there are 10, 009,000 pieces of silver and other metallic currency In the Island and now In circula tion. These pieces are worth E.000,000 pesos. Congress has decided that the ex change shall be made on the basis of 60 cents for a peso. About $3,000,000 of Amer ican money will therefore be required to take up all the minor money in Puerto Rico. The first shipment of American money will be made to the Island between now and May LMr. Samule and Mr. Watson will go the last of this week or the first of next The money which they will uso In making the exchange will be taken to Puerto Rico In an Army transport, and the Puerto Rican money will be brought back here as it Is taken up and recolned. The exchange will be made largely through the Puerto Rican banking and business Institutions. It will be a long time before all of the Puerto Rican money Is turned In, but the bulk of it probably will go out of circulation within a few months. Treasurer Roberts says he will send gold, silver certificates and subsidiary coins to Puerto Rico to replace the pesos and other coins. The silver certificate Is the only form of United States currency which will be used at present on the Island. The amount of money to be sent at once Is as follows: Minor coins ..... .$ 15,000 Subsidiary silver 60 000 Silver certificates 2SO.O00 Gold coin 165,00 Total COO.000 SUIT FOR SOLDIERS' FARES Land Grant Roads Will Begin Action Against the Government. CHICAGO. April 19. General counsel of several Western land grand railroads met here today and decided upon the course of bringing suit against the United States Government for the recovery of the vast amounts of money which the roads claim are Justly due them for the transportation of troops within the last two years. They came to the conclurlon after a number of conferences that the carrying- companies were entitled to regular first-class rates from the soldiers, notwithstanding the con. troller of tho Treasury's ruling that the Government should settle for the hauling of the troops upon a party rate basis. The general counsel will recommend to the executive officers of the roads that suit be instituted against the Government with as little delay as possible. In instituting suit the Court of Claims will be Ignored, the counsel deciding that the first active steps rhould be taken in the United States Circuit Court Automobiles for Hawaii. CHICAGO. April 19. The Chronicle says: The Inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands evidently have determined to keep pace with their fellow citizens In the United States, for within the last 10 days 150,000 worth of automobiles have been shipped to them. A Chicago firm built the vehicles, which Included large cabs, small cabs, delivery wagons and T-carts. each accompanied by an exhaust ive treatise on the art of guiding and managing on automobile. The Importing habit has been growing in the Hawaiian! for the last three months, and the Chicago manufacturers have shipped within this period fully J500, 000 worth of merchanldse. Chief among the articles are steel rails, passenger ele vators and equipments, boilers and pumps, the latter' for use on the planta tions. One of these pumps, with Its ' accessories, cost 37,000; two others more than x,oeo each. Bicycles, too. have caught the Hawaiian fancy. Consul Fred Job says more than 10,000 have been pent to them. , EXPORTATIONS LAST MONTH Larger Than Those of Any Preceding March In Our History. WASHINGTON, April 17. March expor tation are larger than those of any cor responding month In our history, ' and double the average for the month of March during the decade ending with 195. The total exports of the month, as shown by the figures Just reported by the Treas ury Bureau of Statistics, are J13U13.31S. against n04.5S9.6S9 in March of last year. r5.571.1SS in March, 1S34. and J66.S1S.571 In March, 1S93. Thus tho exportation of March. 190), are more than double those of March. 1S9S. and 25 per cent greater than those of March of last year, and. as already stated, are larger than those of any preceding March In our history. In deed, the reports of the Bureau of Sta- ,-&B?j CANDIDACY DOES NOT CONCERN ME." tlstics show but one month (December. 1S9S) In the history of the export trade of the United States In which the total ex portation was as large as that of March, 1900, the month of December usually be ing the heaviest export month of the year. Not only are the March, 1900, exports the heaviest In the history of our foreign commerce, but the total for the nine months ending with March is nlso greater than that of any- corresponding nine months In the history of our exports. The total exportation in tho nine months end ing with March. 1900, are J1.053.S32.673, against 3917,919.406 in the corresponding months of last year, $925.905,6 In the cor responding months of 1S97, and 3515,439,635 In the corresponding months of 1SSS. hav ing thus doubled In 15 yiars, and Increased over 53 per cent since 1S9S. The steady Increase In exportations is the more remarkable In view of the fact that exports of agricultural products are only about the same as those of the cor responding months of last year, the nota ble Increase of more than 3100,000,000 In the nine months In question being largely in manufactures. In eight months ending with February (tho details for March not yet being completed), the exports of ag ricultural products were practically the same as" those of the corresponding eight months of the preceding year, while those of manufactures show an Increase of 161, OCO.OOO. . These astonishing figures of the March exportations make it apparent that the total exports of the fiscal year 190 will exceed those of any preceding year in our history, since for the nine months of the fiscal year for which the figures are now at hand, the total exports are 3105, 000,(00 greater than those of the jrorre spondlng months of any preceding year. It seems probable that the to'al exports of the year will reach Jl.t0O,(CO. and that manufactures wU supply fully 3KO.O0O.CO of this vast sum. Imports also show a marked Increase over last year, tho principal Increase be ing in manufacturers materials, which in the eight months ending with February were JCO.COJ.O.O greater than In the cor responding months of the preceding year, while manufactured articles for use In the mechanic arts also showed on Increase of oer 320000.CO).

THE Xativea Constitute Large Majority of the Population, and the 'Whites Greatly Outnumber the Blacks. WASHINGTON, April 19. The f6llowlng cablegram was received at the War De- partment from General Wood, at Havana: "Census returns and electoral law will i be published late this afternoon. Election 'Juno 16," I The compilation of the Cuban census I rethrns was made In Washington, under the personal direction of Genera Sanger, ' who also is in charge of the Puerto Rican census. The figures were dispatched to Havana by mall last Saturday. General Sanger today made public here the com- W.J. BRYAN. New York Tribune. pendious results of the Cuban census. Tho figures are very instructive, and. In the" opinion of the War Department officials, fully Justify suffrage in Cuba at an early date. The officials are gratified to find that the native Cubans constitute so large a portion of the population; that the whites so greatly outnumber the blacks, and that so large a proportion of the na tive population can read and write. In their opinion there seems to be no room for the objection that the propsed bas's of suffrage would result in turning the island over to the control of Spain. The total population of Cuba Is 1.572.797. Including 815,3)5 males and 757,592 females. There are 447.372 white males and 462.3C6 white femalen of native birth. The foreign whites number 115.760 males and 26,45$ females. There are 111.S9S male negroes and 122,740 female negroes. The mixed races number 125.000 males and 143,:0i' females. Thpre are 14.694 male and 163 female Chinese. The population of Ha vana City Is 235.9S1, and of the provinces is as follows: Havana 424,801 Matinzas 202,444 Plnar del Rio 173.04 Puerto Principe .'. 83.234 Santa Clara 3SS.536 Santiago 327,715 Of the total population of the Island. 1.1(8.709 persons are set down as single; 246,251 as married, while 131.787 live to gether by mutual consent There are 85. 113 widowed persons. The total population is divided according to citizenship: Spanish 20.478 Cubans L29ti,:67 In suspenso 175.SU Other citizenship ..., ,... 79,5:5 Unknown 515 The Spanish by birth number 129.240. Of the children 10 years of age and over. 49,419 have attended school. Of the total popu lation. 443,426 can read and write, and 19.158 have a superior education. The table dn cltlzenshlD. Hteraev nn education is regarded as specially Impor tant as forming the bass of suffrage about to be conferred. Because so many citizen ships are still in suspense, and, for other reasons, the returns are not quite com plete, but the conclusion is drawn that there will be at least 140000 qualified na tive Cuban voters unier the proposed basis of suffrage, and or against this there will be 55.767 Spaniard, whose citlzensh.p was in suspense when the census was taken, lesa the number who have since declared to preserve their Spanish citizenship and plus Illiterate Spaniards, not declared, who are tho owners of property. It Is not be lieved that there will be any great num ber of the latter classes, as the total num ber of illiterate Spanish males over 21 years Is only 17.426. The comparison shows a much greater preponderance of Cuban voters than was expected. There are 187, 826 white adult males who were born i'n Cuba, as against 96,003 born in Spain; 6791 bom in other countries, and 127,300 colored. The proportion of children under five years Is unusually small, but the propor tion under 21 is normal by about one-half the population. Only 15 per cent of the ndults were married. Nearly nine-tenths of the children less than 10 years of age do not attend school, and 43 per cent above 10 years are literate. Tales of nn Old Chateau. There Is a flavor of old memories and unforgotten loves of times that tried men's souls in Marguerite Bouvet's "Tales of an Old Chateau." They are stories of the great French Revolution and an aged grandmother, an aristocrat, tells them to her grandchildren. Victor and Delphlne. The first story. "The Golden Amulet," characterizes the-dreadful times In which all the tales are laid. Joli-Cocur. a gal lant young chevalier. Is presented a golden amulet as he Is leaving for the wars. Mus ing on bis sweetheart the night before a battle, he wanders into the enemy's lines artd is captured by Beaulleu, a friend of his boyhood and a nobleman, now become a revolutionist Beauueu releases the absent-minded lover, who made this request: "Give me thy promise that, should I fall tomorrow upon the field and thou be left thou wilt seek me out and take from within my belt a little golden token she gave me In farewell, and treasure it until such time as thou canst place it again in her hand, and say to her I part ed from It only In death." Joli-Coeur is Indeed badly wounded, and Beaulleu seeks him out Supposing Joll Coeur dead. Beaulleu puts his hand In tho belt when he detects a faint flutter ing of the heart Thus was Joll-Coeur's life saved by the magic amulet, tor Beau lleu takes him away and nurses him while he regains Strength.
