VOL. XXXVIII. NO. 145. THE CABINET MEETING OU R RELATIONS WITH SPAIN WAS THE TOPIC OF DIS CUSSION. PROPOSED EXPEDITION TO CUBA The Spanish Minister Thinks That a Large Party of Cuban Sympathizer* is Preparing to Leave the Coast of Florida, and He Asks the Adminis tration to Aid Hint in Suppressing It Relieved that Secretary Oiney Will Klake a Sp r cial Effort to Prevent It. Washington, July 20. —There is reason to believe that the visit here of Secretary Oiney and yesterday's conference of the majority of the members of the Cabinet together with the coincident appearance in the city of "Senor Du Puy| DeLome, the Spanish Minister, are directly con nected with the suppression of a pro poeed expedition to Cuba which it is claimed by its sympathizers, is of far greater importance than any party which has yet left the United States for the purpose of carrying aid to Cuban insur gents. Under the circumstances,it is of course, difficult to secure details as to the pro posed expedition or of the steps which are beitg taken to prevent it, but it is definitely known that the Spanish Min ister has information that the American sympathizers are preparing to send a large and well equipped party to Cuba and that the friends of the Cuban cause consider that the .effect of this move ment, if successful, would be inspiriting to the insurgents because of the size of the party proposed to be sent out. It is also understood that the instiga tors of the enterprise are counting very confidently upon the expeditions being able to evade the vigilance of the Unitea States and upon getting off in good shape at no very distant day. Senor DeLome is devoting himself as siduously to preventing the departure of the party. It appears that he is without definite information as to the proposed place of departure. He stopped in New Yoik and Philadelphia on his way to Washington to visit tho Spanish Consuls at those places for the purpose of conferiing with them and urging them to renewed activ ity in securing information as to the movements of insurgents in this coun try. The best information obtainable would indicate that the expedition ex pects to start from the Florida coast, but it is considered probable that if it be foiled there it may collect at almost any Atlantic port. It cannot be learned definitely whether *.h*' minister has received any new assur ance from the administration of special effort to prevent the departure ot i is or other exped.tious in the future,but thtre are circumstances which would indicate that he has received the desired assurance. It is predicted very confidently that the proposed expedition will never leave the coast of the United States. Sene r De Lome will return to right to Swamp scott, where he has gone for the summer.

The Insurgents Victorious. Key West, Fla , July 20.—Cubans are elated to-night over late advices from Cuba and a confirmation of the death of Santo Cildes. In the battle in which he was killed Campos was in command of the Spanish forces and received a wound in battle. About two thousand men, it is daimed,were killed and wounded on the Spanish side.

The storm seems to have formed in the vicinity, Kittrell being the vortex, as the town was assailed bv tre mendous winds in opposite directions, all within a minute or two.

Secretary Herbert hims< If decided the two most important points, those relat ing to the turrets and the cal bre of the guns of the main batteries. When the board assembled a letter from ihe Secre tary was presented, in which he stated that he wished the plans to include novel .double storied turrets and thirteen inch guns. As for the question that has arisen touching the height of the armor belt, the Secretary instructed the board that it might consider aud decide the point in their discretion but that the maxmimurn draft of the ships should not exceed twenty feet. With this limitation the board speedily came to the conclusion to place the belt so that k would drop at its lowest edge five feet and six inches below the water line, on twenty-five feet draft. In tbis w ay three of the four questions were disposed of, in each ease against the earnest recommendations of the Con stiuction Bureau, which opposed the double turrets, favored twelve inch guns and wished the armor belt lowered, so that tbe vitals of the ships might not be exposed when they roiled in a seaway.

Petcofl Who W'a* W ith the Dead Statesman When He was Attacked Charges the Enemies of Bulgaria W ith Murdering the Man to Whom She Owed Her Independence—A Ter rible Panic Follows the Harungne— Hostile Demonstration at the Grave. Sofia, July 20.—The funeral of ex Premier Stambouloff today almost pre cipitated a riot. When the cortege reached the spot where M. Stambouloff fell by the daggers of the assassins, it was halted and M. Petcoff, who was with the de ceased statesman when he was attacked and who was himself wounded made a s{»eech to the assemblage. His head and arm were wrapped with bandages where he had been stabbed on Monday. In an impassioned harangue he charged the enemies of Bulgaria with the terrible crime of murdering tho man to whom the country owed her inde pendenco and the Prince his throne He was still speaking when a loud cry was raised: “Run for your lives.” A terrible panic ensued and the crowd became frantic and made a rush tooseape, every one believing that lighting had begun. Men anti women fell and were trampled upon, and the children carry ing wreathes in a part of the procession threw down the flowers and fl*d pertain ing. A detachment of gendarmes w ith drawn swords prevented blood shed. At the grave there was another shock ing scene. The enemies of M. Stain bouloff and the friends of Major Panitza who was executed some years since, for conspiracy at the instance of M. Stam bouloff, had organized a hostile demon stration against the dead statesman, but a company of cavalry galloped up just in time to prevent a collision. When the grave was reached tfie cos fin was lowered in silence. There was no oration over the remains and no cere mony to mark the delivery to earth of the once powerful ruler of Bulgaria, be yond the hooting and hurrahs of a band of his enemies who were only prevented from attacking the remains by the cav airy which surrounded the grave. .MORE OF HOLMES’ RASCALITY. He was the Abdnc-torol Little Annie Redmond. Chicago, 111., July 20 - The Redmond mystery is revived to-day in a new as peer, a connection with the Philadelphia insurance fiend. Holmes, being shown. Some years ago, Chicago was startled by the bold kidnapping of little Annie Redmond. daughterof a south side black smith. Her abductors, while keeping their identity a secret, admitted in a series of notes sent to the parents of th*- child, their sole object was to hold her for a big ransom. The kidnap ping, as afterwards proved, was done by a Mrs. Gurley. It is clear enough now to those who have investigated the mat ter that the mysterious abduction of the Itedmond child was a job put up by Holmes, and that he used Mrs. Gurley, over whom he had some queer control, as his tool. A big lot of money was spent in try ing to locate the girl before the trail was finally struck which led to the arrest of Mss. Gurley, and yet there was never a time when the child was more than half a block from the Holmes store, her identity being effectually concealed by dressing her in boy’s clothes. Says he Can Prove nn Alibi. Philadelphia, Pa., July 2> The Press to-day prints an interview with 11. H. Holmes, who was visited in his prison cell by a reporter ot that paper. Holmes insists that he can prove an alibi with rest rence to the murder of the Pietzel children in Toronto, and says the au thoritiee here can not prove that Pietzel was murdered in this city.

Norfolk, Va., July 20.—-The Massey- Pilot libel suit is drawing to a close, and in a few days will be a thing of the past, or a bone of conteniion in the Supreme Court.

The others were Editors Lindsay, and Brand of the Charlottes ville Progress, who had never heard his character discussed. Lindsay said Mr Massey told him he intended to purchase the Charlottesville property as a birth day present to his wife. Counsel submitted to the court iristruc tions and argued them. Judge Prentiss will instruct the jury Monday. Plaintiff will introduce several wit nessts from Albemarle Monday morning in rebuttal. Death of William Gingrich. Norfolk, Va., July 20. —Dr Wm Gingrich, ex Presideut of the Virginia Dental Association, a member of tbe State Board of Dental Examiners aud r prosperous practietioner in this city since 1877, died at the Atlantic Hotel at 7 o’clock this evening. The New York Sun says tbe “Republi can National Convention of 1896 may be held in Chicago, Philadelphia, Wheeling, Minneapolis, San Francisco, Pine Bluff, Buffalo, Newark, Omaha, or Chatta nooga— wherever it may please the dele gates, but the one and only city in w hich tue Democratic National Convention rs 1896 should lie held is New York.” The Democratic National Convention which nominated Samuel J. Tilden was held in Now York just twenty years ago -1876 VANQUISHED THE VIGILANT. Ami Yet the Defender is Clewrly Much the Superior Boat. Nf.vv York, July 20. —Defender has met Vigilant and vanquished her, over a course of fifteen miles to windward aud return in the same waters that the cup races will take place in September. The course was one of those of the kind wherein Valkyrie 111 will meet the cup defender, and that the Defender is a boat much superior to Vigilant was clearly proven. The new boat not only outpointed the old champion to a re markable extent, but she outfooted her as well when sailing to windward. Moreover, on the run home before the wind, with Vigilant’s center board hauled up, she gained on the champion, an advantage that her most enthusiastic admirers did not anticipate. The weather was about what is to lie expected during the season in which the cup races will take pia e. There was a good breeze of from 12 to 15 knots an hour blowing throughout the day, and the sea was smooth. Taking everything into consideration, the trial was all that could have been asked for in its results. It is believed that the Vigilant has been improved from five to ten minutes in a course of thirty miles over her 1893 form, and if this is the case the De fender must be a marvel. About $70,- 000 was expended on the Vigilant to get her ready for trial. Although the yacht club steam* rs and a troop of steam launches and pleasure boats saw the race, the company that followed the contestants was small in comparison with the trial races of former years. Tbe course was from the Scottish Lightship, fifteen miles to windward aud return. The ytchte cruised around to the east ward of the s’arting line until the word w as given. Long-bearded Hank Haff w’aa at the wheel of Defender, aDd Charley Barr held Vigilant’s spokes in his hands, and spun down heading close to the Scottish Light Ship When they crossed the line both yachts had set mainsails staysails, jibs and baby jib topsails, with a great big club topsail at the head of their masts Defender's club topsail is the biggest sail that ever was put at the head of a mast, of single sticker, and in view of the fact that Defender’s gaff runs almost up and down from pole to deck the size of that sail may be estimated. In the tacks that followed some peo ple took the time between a luff into the wind and a full si il on the other tack as ten seconds. The Herehoff model was steadily in creasing the tead until she mistook the spot where the turning buoy was placed, and by this misjudgment lost probably three and a half minutes. At the time tbe Defender nude the mistake at the buoy she was something more than a mile ahead. Getting bacik to her course again, however, she round ed the buoy 2m, 4s, ahead of Vigilant. Heading up for home the yacht rue up balloon jib topsails, swung over their spinnaker booms and set their sails over. In the handling of those sails Defender showed the excellent training that her crew has undergone, while Vigilant’s men were slower. On the run home it looked as though Vigilant with centre board hauled up was gaining, but De fender went over the fine first by 2m, 455, having increased her lead on that run by 41 seconds. The Defender won fey 2m, 455, iotual time. TIIE lIAR VEY-HOK R DEBATE. Harvey Traces The Variori* Steps Lead* ins Up •« the Act of 1873. Chicago, July 20.—The fifth day of the Horr- Harvey silver contention opened in Che auditorium of the Illinois club at 1:25 o'clock this afternoon. The attend ance showed no appreciable difference from that which has characterized the previous sessions. Mr. Harvey opened the day’s talk with a statement of the points so far estab fished. Tney w.-re that prior to 18 3 go’d and silver were the money of theOonsii tution; that silver was the unit of value; that up to that time the debtor was per initted to pay in the cheaper money, and that silver was not demonetizE-d because of any over production at the time the act of 1873 was passed. Taking up the debate proper, Mr. Har vey denied that be bad at any time tried to impeach the integrity of the people and he did not propose to allow corrupt legislators to throw that, mantle of national theory around them for their own protection. The speaker recognized the integrity of tbe American people and it was to that he appealed. The speaker then resumed the state ment, which was interrupted at the close of the talk on Thursday, of tbe various steps leading up to the passage of the act 0f1873 Mr. .forr took up the international monetary conference in Paris of 1867 at which the leading civilized nations of the world were represented and pointed out that after eight days’ consideration the represent atives of all the nations present, including the United States, voted unanimously, with the exception of the representative of Hoi and in favor of a gold standard. It was after this that our statesmen btgan to con sider the question of our currency and it was openly a legitimate outcome of this international conference that tbe act of 1873 was passed. Mr. Horr then argued at le- gth, quotirg from letters and docu incuts to prove that the charge that ti e demonetization act, was passed through the influence ot British bribes was false. It is asked "why should not we do for Cuba what France did for ns ? ’ meaning, of course, why do*s not the United States assist Cuba in obtaining h*r tree dom, as France assisted us in obtaining ours. Tbe querists forget lha' vhen Franco tided us against Great B hair: these two powers were at war with each o her and that France was not so much interested in treeing ns from Bn'ish rui ns 'he was in d< ing au n jury to her f- e. The United Btetes is not at war with Spain, ami. therefore, tbe situations are not parallel. PRICE FIVE CENTS. THE ENGLISH ELECTION GREAT BRUTALITY DISPLAYED BY THE CROWD AT I»IF FEftBNT PLACE#.
