ABOUT THE HAWKINS
The Detectives Have Two
Separate Theories.
EITHER MAKES HER REACH CUBA
Populists In Kansas--National Banks in
Small Cities A Breach of
Promise Case.
"New York, March 18. The Herald
Bays :
The Spanish detectives engaged in
keeping watch on the movements of the
Cubans in this country were very much
exorcised last night over the report that
the steamer Hawkins did not sink Jan
nary 28th, but that the made her way .to
the island, landed her cargo, and is now
laid up at one of the Florida keys.
The story took two forms. One was
that the Hawkins carried a double crew.
Both crews were well paid, one to serve
until the steamer returned to port, and
the other to be discharged in small boats
about five miles from the New Jersey
coast. The vessel left port Saturday
night, and by Tuesday night she ' had
gotten no further than Barnegat point.
As an ordinary vessel could make this
distance in much less time, suspicion
was at once aroused. The detectives ar
gue that the Hawkins was merely crawl
ing along the coast waiting for a storm.
The Btorm broke on Monday night, and
on Tuesday "morning the crew left, the
ship in email boats, taking a good many
of the passengers with them.
The detectives say that at : the time
the Cubans knew their intended move
ments were known to the United States
and Spanish authorities in this country.
They knew that the cruisers Raleigh
and Montgomery, watching for them
outside, assisted by the revenue-cutters
Morrill, McLean and Colfax. It was
necessary, they say, to take some des
perate measures to make it appear, that
the Hawkins had not gone to Cuba, and
this means was adopted.. .
General Garcia was the "only man of
consequence rescued, and the .detectives
eay that was done in order to allay their
suspicions further. Besides, they say
Garcia can do more good in this country
at present than he can in Cuba. More
over, the detectives say that the Hawk
ins had on board twice as many men as
she could carry to Cuba, and that it was
absolutely necessary to dispose of some
of them en route. " ,
Another version of the story on which
the detectives are working is that the
Hawkins is actually at the bottom of
the ocean, having been scuttled by the
Cubans after her cargo had been trans
ferred to another vessel. They do not
take np this theory with any degree of
activity, however, as they are inclined to
think she actually, made her landing in
Cuba. They . believe : she went to the
north and east of the island, and then
made her way to the Florida keys, where
she is waiting for an expedition.
Fopullsts In Kansas.
Hutchison, Kan., March IS. On the
surface peace and harmony prevailed
among the majority of the delegates of
the state Populist convention. A con
flict is possible between the two ele
ments having different views of . the
money question. One element, headed
by National Chairman Taubeneck, be
lieves in the Omaha platform, the others
want a platform making the money
question the great issue, thus hoping to
unite all the silver elements of the old
parties.
Chairman Briedenthal rapped the
convention to order, using as a gavel a
broken piece of fence rail, suggestive of
Abraham Lincoln.
National Banks in Small Cities.
Washington, March 18. The bill in
trodnced by Bressius, to authorize the
establishment of national banks in email
citieB, was ordered favorably reported
today by the house committee on bank
ing and currency. Aa introduced," it
provided for the establishment of banks
in cities of 3,000 inhabitants, but it was
amended to make 4,000 the limit. The
bill provides that in cities of 6,000 in
habitants, the banks shall have a capital
of not less than $50,000; and in cities
with from 4,000 to 6,000 .'population, not
less than $25,000.
The Cnban Question.
Washington, March 18. The senate
committee on foreign relations decided
today to stand by the agreement reached
by the senate conference and support
the house Cuban resolutions as a substi
tute for the senate resolutions on the
same subject. Sherman, as chairman of
the committee, was instructed to keep
the Cuban question as well to the front
as possible, and get a vote at the
earliest possible date.
Charges Breach of Promise.

but not decided upon.
SlOO Reward SIOO.
The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure . known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of
