HAVANA. May 21.—The organizing
committee of me democratic union
party conferred today v. ith the presi
dents of the lo< si committees and
reac hed a unanimous decision to rec
ommend that the me miters of the
party abstain from \oting at the com
ing elections. A manifesto will
shortly be issued giving the reasons
for this step.
The party leaders contend that the
election preparations are lieing car
ried out in such an unfair wav as to
make it impossible for the opponents
of those in power to get a hearing,
thus rendering the w hole thing a farce.
On the other hand it is asserted that
the real motive underlying, this action
is the coniiction of the leaders of
the democratic union party that, as
the Spaniards will refuse to vote, the
party has no hope of suc cess.

Charge* Fraud In Method of Appointing
Clark to Succeed Himself—Protest i*
Wired to W>t*hington —Smith Ask*
That Senate Proceed With Consider)*
tion of the Case.
HELENA. Mont., May 19.—Governor
Smith this afternoon appointed Martin
Maginnis Un“ied States senator to suc
ceed William A. Clark.
Maginnis represented Montana in
congress in the early days of the terri
tory. He is not allied with either dem
ocratic factions and has always been
a strong party man.
Governor Smith says that the resig
nation of Senator Clark was w ritten in
April and that the date that it now
bears, May 11. was the result of the
erasure of the original date, which can
i easily be proved by examination of the
document. He also alleges that the
resignation was in the possession of
Charles A. Clark, son of the senator,
for several weeks.
In carrying out the plot, it is charged j
misrepresentation and other devious j
methods were used to get the governor
out of the state.
Governor Smith today sent dis
patches from Kutte to senator W. A.
Clark. Senator Chandler, chairman of
the committee on privileges and elec
tions. and Senator Frye, president of
the senate, saying he had disregarded
and revoked the action of i.ieutcnant
Governor Spriggs in naming Clark to
succeed to the vacancy by his own res
ignation. and saying he had named
Martin Maginnis of Helena to fill the
vacancy. The dispatches are practi
cally the same, that to Clark reading:
“I have this day disregarded and re
voked your appointment as United
States senator made by Lieutenant
Governor Spriggs on the 15th inst.. as
being tainted with collusion and fraud,
and have this day appointed Martin
Maginnis to fill the vacancy caused by
your resignation.” I
**I shall prove by my conduct in the
future,” he concluded, “that 1 was not
guilty of any wrongdoing or any idea
of wrong."
Miles Finlen is one of ihe democrats
in the legislature who voted against
Clark.
WASHINGTON. May 19.—The senate ,
committee on privileges and elections
has directed Chairman l handler to
press action on the Clark resolution
as originally reported.
The following dispatch was received
and read to the committee from Gov
ernor Smith, dated Butte. Mont.. May
17:
“Hon. W. E. Chandler. Washington:
I desire to present in as forcible a man
ner as possible my protest against the
course pursued by Hon. W. A. Clark in
attempting to defeat the action of the
senate of the United States upon the
resolution presented by the committee
on privileges ami elections affecting
his title to a seat and to protest against
the methods pursued by him in se- *
curing an appointment at the hands ;
of the lieutenant governor during my
absence from the state under circum
stances and conditions which to my
mind indicate collusion and fraud.
“His conduct in attempting a resig
nation and procuring a reappointment
under the conditions as he did. if the
matter was before a court of justice,
would have been considered a contempt
of court on his part. I, therefore,
trust that the committee and the sen
ate will proceed to a proper and com
plete consideration of the question, so >
that the rights, not only of Mr. Clark,
but of the state of Montana, in the
premises may he determined, and that ;
upon the presentation of his credentials
of appointment by the lieutenant gov
ernor the same be transferred to the
committee on privileges and elections
for investigation, and that I be per
mitted to make a more complete and
detailed statement of facts concerning
the resignation and appointment of Mr.
Clark."
The language of the resolution of the
committee directing Chairman Chand
ler to press the resolution as reported
follows:
"Resolved. That the chairman be di
rected to press to a vote the resolu
tion reported to the committee.”

WASHINGTON. May 19.—In re- j
spouse to the senate resolution of the i
16th inst. the secretary of the treasury J

Urges Filipinos Not to Surrender at In
stigation of Commission.
MANILA. May 19.—A proclamation
purporting to have been issued by Ag
uinaldo and dated May 4. from Pilillo
island, one of the Philippine group
east of Luzon, is circulating in Ma
nila. It says the commission appoint
ed by President McKinley was appoint
ed without the authorization of con
gress and that hence it cannot treat
officially. It urges the Filipinos not
to surrender their arms at the insti
gation of the commission and on prom
ises which congress may not ratify,
and also urges the Filipinos to enthus
iastically welcome the commission
when it arrives in the towns and prov
inces. asking boldly for the form of
government they most desire, as the
Americans permit of freedom of
speech.
The proclamation closes with asking
the Filipinos to strive for liberty and
independence, and again warns the
commission against deception.

tion. whenever there shall be a vacan
cy within his control.

ing of 100 heads of labor organizations,
it was resolved at 12:50 this (Saturday)

to strike will walk out if the call
comes.

DEPUTY REEVES HAS CONfESSED.
He Gives P|» Nearly Five Thousand Neelj
Had Placed With Him.
HAVANA. May 21.—W. H. Reeves,
deputy auditor of the island, made a
confession at midnight an . gave up
$4,500 given to him by C. F. \V. Neely,
the arrested financial agent of posts at
Havana, to perform certain services
the day he left.
General Wood and the postal inspec
tors refuse to disclose the nature of
the confession, barely admitting that
a confession has been made.
It is claimed that $1,400 more will
be recovered today.
Another charge against Neeley is
that he has defrauded the customs out
of several thousand dollars' worth of
i duties by importing nominally for pos
tal use large quantities of paper, which
was afterward sold to a printing house
in Havana.
The Cubans are now talking a good
deal regarding postal matters, the main
idea apparently being that the Ameri
cans. having found so many of their
countrymen implicated, will not pro
ceed to extremities. The Cnoans do not
believe that Neeley will be extradicted.
With the confessions of Reeves and
Rich, supplemented by those of the
stamp clerks, and by the statements
of the Baracoa postmaster, it is con
sidered that the evidence against Nee
ley is complete.
General Wood says that the report
from Muncie. Ind.. that nearly $2,000.
000 worth of stamps have been printed
there and sent for distribution to Cu
ban postoffices can be regarded as a
canard. There is nothing here to show
that any such counterfeit stamps have
been sent. It is believed now that tne
whole story is known and that the
amount of the defalcation will fall !>e
tween $100,000 and $125,000.

Russell Sage is quoted as having said
recently that the time is near when
America will take her place at the
head of the financial nations of the
world. "It is something new in finan

continued, "but we have so much faith
in the credit of the mother nation that
there is almost no limit to the money
she could borrow in this land. Next
to oui own bonds, in which I am a
great believer. I would have no hesi
tancy in accepting those issued by
the British government. All we could

for. Now those bonds are selling to
