Don't forget to" say," he added, "Win iton has the best postmaster in th Uni ted States, and our defeated candidate for Governor is a great, big man defeated lut he is not disappointed. He hardly expected to be elected, notwithstanding Cenator Butler's assurance that no hon est Popul st would rote for Rus ell. Thing got tangled in some way during the campaign, and the wonder is that the najority against Watson was so small." : About the Senatorial election be said the general impression is that Fritchard will be re-elected. The Democratic votis, he said, will ; be given to Watson. The Senatorial election 'ends further Democratic' dickering with the Popu lists. It must end, and that quickly, or there will be nothing left of the party but an offensive smell of sulphur It has been known fr some time to the Spanish government that Senator Sher man would succeed Mr OIney as Scre tary of State. Spain understands the full import of the succession. It means the end of Spanish butchery and the establishment of Cuban inde pendence. Spain is therefore anxious to end the war n Cleveland's rueaning'eM condition of Cuban autonomy, hence all the current talk alo t trrafy nego tiatioi a with the United S'aVs, with a view lo the imnediite termination Of the Cutan war.

Letters Bearing Them Hae Been Received In This Country. : Washinzion, Jan. 14. The appearance of the stamps of the so -called Cuban republic in the United States mails has caused much comment here and was the source of some discussion at the post office department today as to whether such stamps could be recognized as proper for the transmission of mails into the ,United States, as this government has not recognized Cuba as a free and independent country. This is probably the tirst caseof its" kind where insur gents have established their own post ollices and used their own stamps, which were transmitted in the mails to the Unied States. . A' the postoffice department it :was stated that these stamps were good so far as the'United States was concerned, as our postal laws require only that the stamps be properly canceled and the en velopes containing mail matter bear the po-t mark of a regular postoffice. . These regulations have been complied with so far 'as the department knows. Had they not been admissible the letters bearing these stamps would have been marked with the Jetter T at the receiving office in this country, meaning tax collect; The department knows nothing a'bout the postoffice stamped on the envelope except that it is i . Spanish territory, and Spain is in ihc international postal union. These stamps might give rise to a del icate diplomatic question in which the postoffice' department would take no part, but refer the matter to the depart mean ot state ior sememeni D Efi Added to the Bank Failures from Which Democrats. j El FOR THE BENEFIT OF THEIR PES SIMISTIC READERS, Without Which There Would no Consolation or " Cags " AtcKlnley's Prosperity. be on Petersburg, Va., January 14 W Fred Whmann, dealer in qirpets, mat tings, picture frames and bnc a brae etc., made a detd of assignment toda W.

N-wYork, Jan. 14 A Jacksonville special to the Evening Journal says that at 2 o'clock this morning the des patch boat Dolphin fired ui on and seized the Clyde Line steamer Delaware and a larg launch that was alongside, at Mayport, at th- mouth of the St. Johns river. The Delaware, Captain Ingram, left Boston last Friday for Charleston and Jacksonville. The special says the launch, under charge of Capta n Kemp, a bar pilot, started f-ora Jacksonville, ostensibly for St. Augustine, but lay to t the mouth of the river. The Dela ware came in close this morning and then turned and stood out to sea. The launch followed. The Dolphin turnd hpr searchlights on the vessel and then pursued, firing on both vessels. The firing stopped them. The launch was left at MavDort in charge of a detail from ilia Dolnhin. and the Delaware was hrouerht ut) th river. Jackson v.lle, Fit., J in. 14.

GOMEZ HAD CONSENTED TO ARTICLES OF CUBAN PEACE. Gomez Says Conditions Arc Most Prosperous, and all they lack Is a Supply of Ammunition and Arms Cuba's Secretary Arrested. Washington, D. C, Jan. 14. Senor Gonzales Quesada, the head of the Cubaa Junta in Washington, was informed this morning that a story had been published to the effect that Secretary Oiney and Minister D Lome had drawn" Dp ar ticles to end the Cuban war, on the line proposed by Gen. Gomez. Senor Quesada emphatically, denied that any such action had been taken or could be approvedby the Cubans, nc said the story, was absolutely . false, ai Gen. Gomez had never proposed any re form whatever, nor was there a Cuban in the island that would accept anything but absolute . independence: To make his denial stronger, Benor Quesada quoted from the decree issued uyuen. Gomes sometime ago, which is now law, and in' which he said that anyone in Cuba bringing overture of peace, based on anything but indep ndence, was to be regarded as a traitor and would be ; mnmarily dealt with, and, further, that any treaty, of peace with Spain which must necessarily have for its basis the absolute independence of the island of Cuba, must be i atified by the govern ment council of Cuba and by an assembly of representatives convened expressly for that purpose. v ' Senor Ouesada today received a letter from President Cisneres of the republic of Cuba, dated Cubitas, December 2nd, which enclosed some new postage stamps of the Cuban republic. He read ex tracts from this letter in which Presi dent Cisneres expressed his gratification that the people and the Congress or tne United States continued to show their sympathy for Cuba. He said he was preparing an appeal in whicn.tne gov ernment vt . the Cuban republic would ask for the recognition of the indepen dence of the island. He further stated that they were preparing to renew an offensive campaign. Gen. Gomez had left to enter Santa Clara with reinforce ments and a.good supply of munitions of war. Gomez s route would be further west. President Cisneres also said that their condition was most prosperous, and if they had an abundance of muni- t tions of war, not only rines out or can- wouid be de8 royed and all the few re non and dynamite cannon, rauroau maining garrisoned towns in the interior would be abandoned by the Spaniard, who would be reduced to the coast. President Cisneres concluded that they expected to receive very soon the de- sired materials from aoroaa wmcn win enable the Cubans to drive the Spanish to the sea and then the Cubans would bid the enemy a last good-bye. New York Jan. 14, Gen, Carlos Roloff, Secretary of War of the Cuban republic, wm arrested last night on a warrant sworn out by the Spanish consul, charging htm witn violation of the neutrality laws in connection ith alleged filibustering expeditious lot lOa in the steamer Woodall. June 28. 1890. Roloff was locked up in Ludlow street j ail over night and brought before Commissioner Shields this morning. The arrest came to the knowledge of his friends so late they could not arrange for his release on bail. They are indignant at bis .arrest, having been so timed as to render an enons to pre vent his incarceration futile. Gen. .Rolbff was arrested as he was leaving No. 22 Ful ton street and taken at jail at once. He had been ill for some time, and when his friends brought some rcelicine fur him to the jail he was not allowed to receive'it; the officers saying they could not give it to him without the onler from the Marshal or somebody else just who was to issue the order, the official tailed to make plain. Gen. Roloff looked worn and haggard hen he came before Commissioner Shields shortly - before 11 o'clock this morning. Arraigned with him upon a similar charge was ur. joepau. uewis. xocu Jirauc not cinltr and was held under SAOW uau r . rt for examination was furnished. Not the Usual Way Streator. I1L.
