THE REQUEST GRANTED
Execution of American Pris
oners at Havana Delayed.; .
WILL BE POSTPONED SOME WEEKS
The Chba Keferred to the Soprme Trl
' uunal of War fho Treaty to lie
IHscugsetl.
Washington', May 11. In the Com
petitor case it can be aulhoritively
' stated that at the request of the United
States the Spanish government will post
pone the execution of the death sen-
tences upon the American citizens until
the views of the United States respecting
the application of their cases to the
treaty of 1795 and the protocol of 1877
can be considered.
The announcement of the postpone
ment of the executions means a delay of
some weeks. The matter will be taken
up by the diplomatic representatives of
the United States and Spain, and will
be made the subject of an exchange of
correspondence on the interpretation to
be given the treaty provisions. Mean
while, the effect will be to allay popular
excitement both here and in Spain.
. It was definitely announced today that
on the day that the five men captured on
the Competitor were-tried, on Friday
last, Admiral Navarro, in conformity
with the petition of the prosecutor and
the sentence of the naval tribunal, ap
proved and Bigned the sentence of death
imposed upon the fillibusters, Alfredo
La.borde, Dr. Elias Bedia, William Gil
dea, John Melton and Theodore Meta.
The announcement is supplemented by
the statement that in view of high state
considerations, the case has been re
ferred for a final decision to the supreme
tribunal of war and marine.
Two alleged filibusters, both .citizens
of tlie United States, said to have formed
a part of the Competitor expedition
have arrived here in custody from Bahia
Honda. They were captnred by the
local guerillas of Palma, sometime after
the landing. The steamer Triter has
brought liere a small boat abandoned on
the coast by the mayor of Burracos. The
boat is believed to have belonged to a
small expedition which landed ' in the
i vicinity of where the Competitor was
sighted and captured.

Lawrence, Kan., May 10. Owen Mel
ton, the young Kansan captured on the
Competitor, and condemned to death, is
a nephew. of G. B. Jones, the proprietor
ot a dining hall in this city. Melton was
born and raised near Vinland, eight
miles Bouth of Lawrence. He went,
about six years ago, to Aurora, Ark.,

nr.
ference to-day, the result of which is not
known. It is reported that Captain
General Weyler has cabled the Spanish
government that the Spanish authorities
are hampered by the "irritating med
dling of America in Cuban affairs."
It is understood that the United States
government has presented fresh claims
for heavy indemnities through the losses
on sugar plantations belonging to Amer
icans, being burned by the insurgents,
It is expected that these demands will
lead to further complications.
THE A.
CONV.ENTION.
Political Matters Under Keview at
Washington.
Washington, May 11. About fifty
delegates to the supreme council of the
A. P. A. are in the city for- the conven
tion which begins tomorrow, and which,
on account of troublesome questions to
be dealt with, will probably be in session
several days. The most profound se
crecy is observed by the delegates, so
that it is difficult to secure information
concerning the factional differences
which are brewing.
The members do not conceal the fact
that there will be a warm debate over
the recent action of the executive com-
mittee in placing McKinley on the
presidential blacklist. . This step is to
be reviewed by the executive committee,
which will be required by the friends of
McKinley in the order, chief of whom
are the Ohio and Kentucky delegates, to
present proof on which the charges
against McKinley were based.
There is a well-defined rumor that the
or that the
b, who de
i a free sil-'
Western free 6ilver delegates
clare their intention to secure
ver plank for the A. P. A. platform, will
also endeavor to force the A. P. A. into
a political "alliance with the Populist
party.
Supreme President H. J. Traynor to
day declared that if the old parties re
fuse to recognize the principles of the A:
P. A., a call will be issued for a national
convention to organize a new partv.
which Traynor said will be joined by
citizens who are tired of Roman rule.
A meeting of the full advisory board
will be held tomorrow when the action
of the executive board on McKinley's
candidacy will be called up, and it is
thought will be approved. The fight
will come in the council first. '
Meetings were held to-day by the judi
ciary and executive committees, the lat
ter for the purpose ot reviewing the
treasurer's accounts.
Most of the delegates are from South
ern and Western states. Some of the
most prominent are
H. E. Taubeneck and J. E. Chols.'of
Georgia; H. J. Swayne, of California;
Judge Jackson, of Texas ; Judge H. D.
Stevens, of Chicago ; Colonel E. H. Sel
lers, of Detroit; Vice-President J. T.
Gibson, 'of West Virginia; Charles
Tucker, of Ohio ; M. A. Wisley, of Mis
souri; C. G. Simmons, of Wisconsin;
W. W. Lanning, of Washington ; and G.
W. Van Fossen and H. B. Ingrabam, of

Gave the Servants Away.
A- parrot in a certain family wns
usually kept in the dining--room with
the family, but durinp the winter waa
removed to the" kitchen for ' greater
warmth. When the winter was past
it again mode its appearance among'
the family, whom it amused with the
new remarks it had picked up in the.
kitchen. On one occasion, when the
bell had been rung- for something1, tire
parrot was ,heard remarking1 from his
cage: "Let 'em ring again!"
A Strong; statement.
If yon are not used to smoking clear
Havana cigars, you' may not like the
Regulator. If so I cannot help it. I
cannot improve on this brand as I am
now rising the finest imported stock
possible to obtain. Something cheaper
might Euit some tastes. You need not
look for anything better, for there is no
finer stock grown anywhere in the knoicn
world than that used in the Regulator
cigar. Here is the formula :
Fillers Vuelta Abajo Havana, at
$1.25 a pound.
Wrappers Delhi LangEfcaat Sumatra,
at $4 a pound.
I am willing to stake my future repu
tation on the truth of this statement.
O. A. Peteeson.
Note In connection with the above
etatement, I desire to explain that it is
impossible to put more than 15 cents
value into my reasonable size cigar, be-'
cause no tobacco in the world is worth
more. Whenever a brand is sold for 1
more than $80- per 'thousand at whole
sale, it is simply a fancy price and noth
ing more. Sumatra tobacco is never i
used for filler, but as a wrapper it B ands
alone as the only perfect wrapper, on
account of its superior burn and pleasing
appearance. The import duty on this
leaf is f2 a pound, but still we have to
us.e it on fine goods, as there is no do
mestic substitute. O. A. P.
