WAS ALMOST A RIOT
Exciting Scenes Before the
- Missouri Convention.
A VAST AND CLAMOROUS THROXG.
Two Political Factions l.ard Tickets
to the Conventlun. Great Con
fusion was Canstd. y
St. Joseph, Ml, May 12. The Repub
lican state convention almost turned into
a riot this morning before the delegates
were admitted to the ball. At 10 o'clock
2000 people were in front of the Craw
ford opera house clamoring for admit
tance. Filley, as chairman of the state com
mittee, issued tickets to his delegates
before leaving St. Louis. Kerns was
I resent with the contesting delegation.
The local committee oa arrangements,
recognizing Kerns as boss,, also issued
tickets to the convention, and having ob
tained possession of the keys of the opera
house, refused to admit anyone until
Filley would consent to compromise.
For over two hoars the delegates stood
in the hot sun cursing Filley and Kerns.
At 12 o'clock a crowd of men wearing
Filley hats congregated in the rear of the
theater and attempted to smash in the
door with a battering ram.; The eergeant-at-arm
s telephoned for the police and a
patrol wagon full of officers was sent.
FROM MAXIMO GOMEZ.
Letter to the Cuban Delegate
at Mew
. York.
New York, May 12. Thomas Estrada
Pal ma, the Cuban delegate, has received
the following letter from General Max
imo Gomez, commander-in-chief of the
Cuban army. The letter was written at
the general headquarters of. the Cuban
army, at Iquara, being dated April 22.
General Gomez says :
"In order to make this letter bhort I
will copy from my diary :
"April 17. On' approaching the river
Zaza, by the ford Valdiva, narrow and
dangerous, both shores are occupied by a
strong Spanish column composed of in
fantry, cavalry and artillery. I sus
pended my march and explored the
field. .
"April 18. I detatch some shooters,
so rb to compel the enemy to.move, plac
ing myself at the right and trying to
have the Spanish in the rear. The Span
ish do not stir and the light prevents
further operations.
"April 19. I countermarch, always on
my plan. - The enemy advanced, con
stantly under my fire and is brought to a
difficult path where its infantry can
hardly move. Not more than three miles
would we advance during the whole day
and when night comes we are face to
face. ; .
"April 20. I continue advancing, with
nothing to spoil my plans. The. enemy
moves with the same caution as before.
Night again stops our maneuvers, the
Spanish seemingly not caring to press
very; much on us, and I, for my' part;
having in mind the necessity of sparing
my men, so as to march with all their
strength.
April 21. The enemy hardly advances
half a league toward me, and abandon
ing my steps, I camp at Iqufa, one of the !
prominent entrenched forts. In., our
march we have described a semi-circle of
almost 10 leagues in diameter,' which has
taken us more than three days."
"I am told that the Spanish column is
under Colonel Martin, and notwithstand
ing the many years of campaign that
have made me familiar with the Spanish
cruelties and atrocities in Cuba, I have
felt greater disgust and horror than ever
before for this column's work. They
sacrificed numberless heads of cattle, not
even sparing the young. To deprive us of
horses they kill all that come within their
reach, young and old, good and bad. To
Highest of all in Leavening Power.- Latest U. S. Gov't Report
... .
VsV.islKki U'W-Vba
complete the cruel, proclamation, they
order the concentration of this peasants,
thus forcing them to abandon their
homes, and take refuge in the towns,
whether provided for or not, their bouses
have been ordered to be burned and their
cattle killed. , And all this with their
customary hypocrisy they described as
hvaing been accomplished by us.
I am fully confident of the success of
our' summer campaign and have no
doubt that we shall, continue receiving
yonr valuable support, both materially
and morally, through your efforts near
the American government.
"It is useless- to say anything about
the operations in general. The reading
of the Spanish press is enough to show
which of the two armies leads the cam
paign and which is on the defensive."
