"Resolved, That tho Democratic
Earty in national convention asseui
led, should demand tho free nnd un
limited coinage of silver and gold into
primary or redemption money at the
ratio of 10 to 1 without waiting for

nation.
"Resolved, That it should declare
its opposition to the issuiug of interest
bearing bonds of the United States in
time of peaco and especially to placing
the treasury of the government under
the control of any syndicate of bank
ers nnd tho issuance of bonds to bo
sold by thorn at an enormous profit
for tho purpose of supplying the, fed
eral treasury with ijohl to maintain
tho policy of gold monometallism.
"With a viow to securing the adher

ho had nothing to say iu regard to
tho matter. Ho had no i.pecifio in
formation and could not say whether
the syndicate would allow tho 8100,
000,000 to bo encroached upon or not.
None of the other otllcials would talk
in tho absence of Secretary Carlisle.
This heavy withdrawal has given rise
to a report that another bond issue is
impending, but there Is no one in
Washington who can speak authorita
tively on tho subject, or who has in
formation not shared by tho public.
Tho best public opinion Is that tho
syndicate will not allow tho reserve to
bo encroached upon until after Octo
ber 1, when, as generally understood,
its obligation ceases. Hut even in the
event of still further withdrawals, it
is believed that both Mr. Cleveland
and Mr. Carlisle would see tbo reserve
reach a point below any that it has
yet touched before thoy would tako
any steps to recoup it by another salo
of bonds or purchase of gold.

Annexation to tho United States Vuvorod
hy tho Ciilmun.
Nuw YoitK, Aug. 14. Tho steamer
Seneca of tho ard line, which ar
rived hero from Cuba yesterday,
brought several Cuban passengers.
Ono man from Havana, who would noUf
permit the uso of his name, asserted
that tho insurrection is more formida
ble than is generally believed. Tho
rebels, ho bays, desire to establish a
government under tho protection of a
strong power, preferably tho United
States.
Thoy aro not anxious for absolute in
dependence, because negroes form u
mnjority of tho inhabitants of tho
island and would dominate the govern
ment. Therefore, tho rebels uro delay
ing tho capture of tho important bea-'.
port towns, which, tho man from Ha
vana says, thoy could easily accom
plish, because thoir plans for tho fu
ture are not yet matured. To secure
possession of cities would mean recog
nition as belligerents to the rcbels.aml
as they aro not ready for such recogni
tion, they will continue their present
methods of making war for a timtj.
Tho Havana man assorts that there
nre 8,000 sympathizers with the revolu
tion in Havana.
