I am 21 vfnra of ace. a native of Havana, Cuba, and a resident of the city of Key West, State of Florida. I am now residing at No. 965 Division street, city of Key West. In company with several other Cubans and Americans, l arrived in Cuba on the 6th of July.1896. and i Dined the forces of the Cubans of Gen. Aguirre. Mr. Charles Govin was one of the party. acting as correspondent of tbe h.quator Demecrat. a newspaper of Key West In a battle which he had near Tuarco, with the Spanish forces under Gen. Ochoa. on the 8th of July. 1896. several of the soldiers of Aguirre's forces under command ot Valencia, dispersed, and we (meaning the Cubans and Americans who landed on tne etn oi juiv, as aiore aid), not knowing well tbe place where we were, all eot lost, . eacn taxing different direction. I remained in the neighborhood until the next day, being Jnlv 9. 1896. and very near me were hidden two of my companions, one be incr Mr. Charles Govin, whom I knew personally and knew to be the corre spondent of the Key West newspaper. About the time I bad made up my mind to ioin them in their hiding place, I heard and saw some forces that were coming towards us. and as they got very near us I saw Charles Go vin and his companion with a smiling face leave their biding place and go towards the forces I believe Mr. Govin took the Spanish forces to be Cubans, Tbe troops bound Mr. Govin and his companion with ropes and after some loud talking which I could not very well understand, they took Mr. Govin and his companion aside and two of the Spanish soldiers commenced to hack them over tbe head with machetes while two others fired their guns at them. I am not positive if the shots wounded them or not. I saw that he, Mr. Charles Gavin, and bis companion were killed. This took place July 9. 1896. The soldiers after killing them dug a grave and buried the two men in one grave. My phes of hiding was near enough to witness the awful deed. I remained in my place of hiding until after the Span ish forces left the place. The Spanish troops also robbed the two men of all of their valuables belore burying them. I noticed that the troops were commanded by the sami Gen. Ochoa who had given us battle the day before. Mr. Govin and his friend were ordered to be hacked by the said Ocho- himself, he also taking the jewelry and other valu ables." GOLDBUG DEMOCRATS. The Platform or the Iadianapolla Convention In Course of Formation. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Indianapolis. August 24. The plat form of the "National Democratic" party is in course of formation. Chair man Bynum, of the Executive Commit tee, has a stock ot letters from some ot the most prominent Democrats of the country making suggestions on this sub ject and some of them have forwarded complete drafts of platforms embodying their views. These he will turn over to tbe Resolutions Committee to be ap pointed by tbe convention in order that it may have the benefit of them In draw ing up platforms. In a letter concerning this subject the venerable Abram S. Hewitt, ex-Mayor and ex-Congressman of New York, ex pressed himself thus : "My views are substantially .that there is but one issue to be presented to tbe people of the United States. The Democratic Convention at Chicago made a, distinct declaration of war upon the Constitution of the United Mates. The issue, therefore, is not financial or economic but it concerns the perpetuity of Republican institutions. In tbe presence of this issue all other ques tions sink into insignificance, just as they did when civil war threatened the existence of the Government. I think, therefore, that the Constitution should be made the prominent if not the sole topic for the consideration of the con vention. It seems to me that if the people be made to see that the bulwark of their liberty is assailed in its most vulnerable point and that the overthrow of tbe Constitution will lead first to an archy and then to despotism, in order to save social order the response should be so emphatic as to make it impossible for the enemies of the Constitution to make any headway."

No political party has ever declared for tbe gold standard, i ne man who advocates that standard in this country is without a party and the man who thinks the gold standard is a bad thing but that his nation must suffer until some other nation comes to our relief, will be a man without a party after this election if I am anything of a prophet. We must make politics a business this year. A manlwho has a small business is as much interested in it as a man who has a large business. It is all you have and you have as much ricrht to orotect vour small interests as other men have to protect their large in terests, But I must close, for if I talk much longer 1 will have made a speech." rCheers 1 i Abaut forty . people were waiting to receive Mr. Bryan at the Kingston sta tion.

EXPRESS TRAIN WRECKED. More Than a Soore of Paisengeri Injured Four Pa tally. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Pittsburg, Pa., August 24. The through express train from Chicago on the Pittsburg & Western Railroad, which was due in this city at 18.35 p. m., was wrecked at Valencia, a small station twenty miles west of here, at 11.80 o'clock to-day, and more than a score of passengers were injured, four of whom may die. Just before the passenger train reached that place there was a collision of freight trains which threw a number ot freight cars on the main track, and the express train ' coming along at the rate of thirty miles an hour plunged into the wrecked freight cars. Nearly every car of the express was wrecked, and the escape of the passengers from instant death is remarkable. Tbe injured were brcueht to the Al legheny general hospital by a special train. The Chicago express train docs not stop at Valencia and was running at the rate of about 42 miles an hour when tbe engineer first d s:overed the ob stru:tionon the tracKs. The engineer reversed and applied tbe brakes but though the speed cf theexpres) was di minished somewhat 1 it stiuck the freight cars on the main track with frigh f al force and the freight cars and engine rolled in a gieat masi ot torn wood and iron over an embankment into the ditch below. The engineer and fireman of the ex press, when they saw that a collision was inevitable, jumped and escaped with se vere injuries. The tender of the express and passenger coaches piled up over each other and rolled down the embank ment on the wrecked engine and freight cars. Clouds of steam and smoke from the disabled engine enveloped the scene and added to the distress of tbe injured pinioned in the wreck, who feared that the debris would take fire and burn them alive. Meanwhile those of tbe express crew and passengers who were not injured the crew ot tbe treight tram and people of Valencia who were near at hand when the accident occurred rushed to the kid of the injured and a special train with surgeons was at once dispatched from Allegheny to the scene of the wreck. The freight cars, which were struck by the express were heavily loaded with long iron piping. CONVICT" PARDONED. TJnd rgoiog Idle loaprlsoament After Being five Times Sentenoad to bi Hanged.

An appeal was taken, the judgment oi tbe lower court was conhrmed and be was again sen tencea. ine day ot .execution was, however, by mistake fixed for Sunday and he was re sentenced, Tbe night before the day fixed for his execution he was released from jail by citizens and escaped to the State of Washington though it is said he ptotested against release on the ground that be was rnno- csnt, and to accept it would be an ad mission that he was guilty. He lived in nis new Dome three years, but was finally recognizsd and brought back and sentenced to be hanged in eight days The Judge, however, recognized that he had not given the prisoner the length of time between sentence and execution al lowed by the statute and consequently resentenced him. Thus he was five times sentenced. Sutton was brought back to tbe s'.ate under the administration o: Gov. McKinney, who, after giving the matter great cons deration, entertained such grave doubts owing to Sutton's high character and the many singular citcumstances surrounding the case, that he commuted his sentence to imprison ment for life. Ever sinceGov. O'Ferrall has been in office great pressure has been brought to bear upon him to par don Sutton, and it may be said that he has given months of study to the case.

Eight hundred citizens of East Liverpool, Ohio, under the auspices of the McKinley and Ho- bart club of that city . called on Major McKinley this morning.- East Liver pool is tbe centre of the pottery indus try in Ohio and most of the men in the delegation were workingmen from the potteries. This delegation came on a special train and marched up tbe streets with flags flying and bands playing. The "spokesman was introduced by William Surl8, the marshal of the day. The spokesman was U. V. B.ake, a pot ter, who works at the bench. He made an excellent address to Major McKin ley, congratulating him on tne fact that he bad remained a true and steadfast advocate of protection principles and as sured him. that the workingmen of bast- em unio were entnusiastic in nis support. Three rousing cheers were given lor Mtjjr Mctuniey oeiore ne was permitted to speak. Ms j ir McKinley spoke with great vigor. He said that twenty years ago. he faced ai East Liv erpool audience for the first time, and that then, as now, he was speaking for protection and sound money. He then described present conditians, comparing with those which existed under the Har rison administration. A short time after the East Liverpool workingmen departed, a large delega tion of farmers from Knox county, Ohio, marched up to tbe McKinley residence. They were warmly greeted along their line of march. It was the first delega tion composed entirely of farmers which has visited Mdjor McKinley since bis nomination andjthere was uncommon Interest on the part ot the citizens ot Canton, irrespective of party, to hear what, the farmers would say to Major McKinley and what be would say to them, for in this State as elsewhere, the farmers have been deeply interested in the discussion of the silver question. Their spokesman, M. u. irutcbheid, explained in his address to Maj. McKin ley that Knox county is a typical agri cultural community of the Central States and it contained men of all shades of opinion. The Populists nave been active, he said, and still are, "but we are here to assure you. Mai. McKinley. that the vote of every Republican and some of the Democrats of tbe county will be cast for you." When Maj. McKinley stepped upon the chair to speak the five hundred farmers who faced him cheered long and lustily. Maj. McKinley spoke with deliberation at first, reading from a typewritten manuscript. His spsech was full of points, which were earnestly applauded. Depression in agriculture always follows low tariff legislation, he declared. The farmer is sunering to day because tbe number of his competitors has increased and his best customers are out cf work. We cannot decrease com petition, but a restoration of the protec tive policy will give work to your cus tomers. McKinley tpoke of tbe bene- fi s of reciprocity and showed what tbe farmer had lost In foreign markets. Free silver, he said, will not cure over produc tion nor underconsumption. You don't get consumers through the mint. You get them through the factories. These sentiments were loudly cheered. The delegation was one of the most enthusi astic that has visited Canton and gave evidence of tbe deep interest manifested in the money and tariff question.

Last year he took a trip to Eu rope. While in London he met at the house of a mutual friend a dealer in precious stones, who had just come from Graoiaa a Dios, in Honduras, and had brought back some fine gems. - Instead . of putting any faith in the popular superstition this gentleman be lieved in the opal very thoroughly and attributed to it virtues which no other gem possessed. Among the things which he Bald about it was that the opal was attached to its owner by invisible cords and that it was impossible to lose it, though it might be mislaid. The Phila-' delphia broker on his return to Phila delphia chose the finest opal in his col lection, had it pet in a ring, surrounded by small diamonds, and at Christmas presented it to his wife. It was truly a beauty, and she wore it with conscious pride. One day on returning from a day's outing she received quite a shock the opal was gone. Search proved vain. No trace of the stone could she-discover. Not only on account of its value, but because she knew how highly her hus band prized the stone, she hated to in form him of her loss. At last she felt obliged to do so, when, greatly to her astonishment, he drew from his vest pooket a tiny package and presented it to her. Upon opening it what was hex delight when she recognized her lost opaL More astonishing still, her husband affirmed that while he was walking down Chestnut street a day or two be fore he felt something under the sole ol his shoe, which upon investigation proved to be the opal which he had last seen shimmering upon his wife's finger. There was no doubt about it being the lost one, for the jeweler who had set it recognized it also. Philadelphia Times. HEROIC TREATMENT. How a Dislocated Jaw Was Put Bach Into Its Place. While talking in his sleep Henry Flocke, a builder, residing in Ozone Park, L. L, dislocated his jaw. Mr. Flocke 'a habit of talking in his sleep has made him the butt of a good deal oi joking. He went to bed as usual, but he had not slept long, when he began talk ing. This awoke his wife, who listen ed for about ten minutes. Suddenly Flooke's nocturnal monologue stopped. He began gasping. Mrs. Flocke was frightened, and she shook her husband into wakefulness. "Why, what's the matter, Henry?" she asked. Her husband tried to speak, but in vain. His jaw was immovable. He mo tioned to his wife that he could not speak, and she endeavored to force his mouth shut. She could not move, it Fearing her husband was suffering from lockjaw, she sent for Dr. McDonald. "Do you want me to replace yow jaw in my own way?" asked the doctor. Mr. Flocke motioned in the affirma tive. Dr. McDonald stepped in front oi Flocke. Without warning the doctor struck Flocke a terrific blow on the left side of the jaw. Flocke showed a dispo sition to strike back. "You told me to do it my own way," said the physician. "You observe that your ability' to speak is restored. " The blow had knocked Flocke's dislo cated jawbone into its proper position, and except for a little soreness he was none the worse. Dr. McDonald explained that Flocke s jaw was liable to disloca tion at any time unless he broke him self of the habit of talking in his sleep. New York Times.
