HAVANA , Cuba , Jan. 29. ( New Yorli
\Vorld Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Th (
news of the foundering of the steamer Haw
kins , carrying General Callxto Garcla's part )
from the United States , cause. ! a great com
motion In both Spanish and Cuban circles It
Havana. Extras Issued by the , evening paper :
were eagerly bought up.
A largo proportion of the men on UK
ztcntner nre well known here. As was nit
ural the Intelligence was received will
delight nt the governor's palace. The Dlarlc
de la Marina cays editorially that th
los of the vessel Is practically a deathblow
to the Insurgents' cause.
General Gomez , I understand , built grc.i
hopes upon the expedition , nn it was to sup
ply him with enough ammunition to carrj
on his warfare many months.
General Wcyler , who comes to Havana a
the now governor and captain general o
Cuba , before embarking nt Cadiz yesterdaj
talked about the situation here , cable dls
patches report. He ls quoted as saying tha
ho hopcH Gomez and Macco will remain Ir
the provinces of Havana and Plnar del Rio
ns the topography of the country Is mon
favorabln for Hold attacks than the mor
mountainous eastern provinces.
DID WELL TO ESCAPE.
The cxodtis suits Wcyler. When told tha
n largo number of Cubans have nlrcadj
left the Island slnco his appointment and tha
many more nro preparing to leave , Genera
Weylcr expressed satisfaction nnd said thej
do well to get away.
The general Is accompanied by Llcutcnan
General Ochando , the youngest officer of sue !
high rank In the Spanish army. Genera
Ochando showed marked military skill In th
ton years' war.
The subject of emigration from Cuba I
much discussed hero and a god deall ha
been written of late about General Weylcr
La Luchn , nil Independent newspaper , for
tnerly bitter toward General Weyler , print
under a two column heading today an ar
, tlcln In which It tr'ed lo explain the sudder
' emigration. It says In part :
"Ever since the announcement was mad
of the appointment ot General Weyler n
governor general of this Island an extraor
dlnary number of persons nre leaving Ha
vana and going abroad. No one who think
cosily will llnd a logical explanation for suol
course. When a man holds a high ofllc
and bus at stake his place In history as wel
ns the immediate responsibility of h's ofll
clal acts , men pf intelligence' and enl'ght
enment who have a sense of their own wel
fare nro very careful to do nothing to preju
dlco their own future. "
MORE MILITARY MEASURES.
There Is considerable talk of cabstltutlnf
nr.lltia military commanders In place o
the civilians who hold the office of alcid
or mayor In the towns. The proposition I
approved by the Havana prow. Many cities
towns nnd villages already are under mill
tar > commanders. The- object evidently Is
to strengthen ) the defenses of the various
towns against Insurgent attacks.
Cable dispatches from Madrid announce
that the Spanish government lias acceptet
the resignation of several generals command
Ing In Cuba who resigned when Campos wa
recalled.
The ministers ot the colonies and cf tlu
treasury are said , tu have agreed upon c
basis for the much talked of new war tax

fixing a tariff Spanish products will bo sc

rumcr litre thnt Maximo Gomez has died
as n result of his Illness. The friends of the
Insurgents place no credence In the rumor

Mm It was Intended for the burl.il of the

jumped at.

NEW ORLEANS. Jan. 23. The meeting o
the republican state convention this cvcnln
reunited In ono ot the stormiest sessions I
the history of the parly In this state. Th
tight between the McKlnlcy and Heed force
for fcur delcgatcs-nt-large to the nntlona
convention at St. Louis next Juno wns con
plicated by the presence of n very noisy fac
tlon of republicans who cared nothing for th
question of delegates , but were Intercstc
solely In the question whether or not th
convention should Indorw the popullst-imga
planter ticket or nominate n separate tlckc
of Ho own for stito officers.
McKlnlcy captured four delegates In th
districts yesterday. This made the Hou
men , led by ex-Governor Kcllegg. unusuall
anxious to capture the four delegatcs-nt
largo to bo culccted by the convention. Caj
tain A. T. Wlmbcrly. the McKlnley leader
had gained control of the temporary organ
zatlon of the convention , but Kellogg had th
Kate central committee , which had ndjournc
sine die , called together again and the con
trol wrested from Wlmborly. Accordlng ! >
In the convention today , after a four hours
fight , the Heed men , with the help of tli
advocates of a t'tato ' ticket , elected H. I
Gulchard temporary chairman ,
It was discovered then that out ot a con
vcntlcn of some COO delegates the tuats of 20
were contested. The convention took o rccca
until the credentials committee could re
p-rt. At a late hour tonight the contests ar
lUIll being heard. There Is a very bitter fool
Ins bctwcsn tlio McKlnley and Heed factions
All sorts of rumors of bribery and corruptlo
are afloat. Captain. Wlmbcrly made th
statement tonight that largo sums of mone
had been used ngalnrt him. Ho said he ha
absolute proof that $100 apiece was offered t
the commissioners of election In his ward t
keep him from being a delegate. Ho My
the city ring , which I" Interested In kcepln
the convention from placing a full ticket 1
the field , liao placed part of the money tha
Is being used In the hands of the Heed men
No ono can tell what the convention
finally do. It Is expected , however , that th
developments will bo highly sensational. I
the Heed men arc able t > fellow up their aO
vantage , which Is probable , It will give Uec
four delegates. McKlnlcy already hns fou
and It Is asserted that the delegates yet to b
chorea from the district's will alto bo equall
divided batween McKlnley and Reed , glvlu
each eight voles from Louisiana.
When the Reed men nominated R. F
Qulchard for temporary chairman , the Me
Klnley men wage ! a personal warfare upon
him , malting all carts of charges. FInallj
Gulchard announced the choice of the conven
tlon. Ho said It was held that Reed was
the natural successor of Blalne , and was en
titled to the colored support , as ho was an
outspoken advocate ot the force bill , whlcl
meant a free ballot and a. fair count for the
negro In the south , while McICInloy nnc
Harrison had dodged the question In the
last republlcan'oonventfon. -
Reed's forces rallied with a will and Gulcli
ard was elected and proceeded to name the
committees. The latter will not report til
tomorrow and the convention will then bt
permanently organized.
As coon as thcc delegates ore seated the
battle will begin anew. The McKlnley men
will endeavor to secure an endorsement o
the ticket nominated by the republican sugar
planter's , which would give the latter a right
to claim precedence for the McKlnley delega
tion which It would send to St. Louis. Mor-
ton'i < friends are alss moving about among
the delegations tonight and some of the men
who will try to have' themselves named In th ?
Intoi est'of other ca ldates may bo found to
be Morton men when the time comes.
The committee on credentials remained In
session most of the night and about 250 dele
gates will bo reported against. It Is now
likely that there will bo two conventions and
consequent confusion.

WASH1NOTON , Jan. 29. Senator Tlllman
of South Carolina addressed the senate this
afternoon on the silver substitute for the
bond bill. The senator was severe In hit
denunciation of President "Cleveland and
Secretaiy Carlisle. Taken altogether hla
speech was the sensation of the present ses
sion. The galleries were filled with thos
curious to hear what the senator would say
In regard to t'.io administration. The speaker
began his speech Immediately after the ma- '
Jorlty and minority reports for the Cuban
rc&clutlon had been presented. Ho moved
forward from l.ls own desk to one directly In
front ot the president. Ho lead from manu
script.
"Mr. President , " the senator bcgjn , "It li
not saying too much nml I feel warranted
In charging that the derangement In our
finances and all this cry about found money
and maintenance of the honor and credit of
the country are all part and parcel of a
damnable cchomo of robbery , -which had for
Itu object , flrat , the utter destruction of sil
ver as a money metal ; second , the Increase-
of the public debt , the li\-ie of bonds pay
able In geld , anl third , the Mil-render to cor
porations of the power to Issao all paper
money and glvo them a monopoly of that
function , "
Senator Tlllman refcmd to the Sherman
silver law of 1S90 and In this connection
said : "Tho silver republicans of tlio west
who deserted the tllver democrats of the
south and nccepted the compromise offered
by Senator Shornnn may take warning as to
what faith or trust thsy can put In the utter
ances or action ot the senator from Ohio as
to leglsMllon In regifd to our finances. The
time for another presidential election ap
proaches. They imirt unGerfctaml that the
elecllrn of any man to th ? presidency who
would veto a frej coinage bill means defeat.
It means moio ; It means continued dlsaUcr
to our Industries and Increased poverty to.
the miusos of our people.
WAS HONEST ONCI3.
And , again referring lo the president , "If
ho was honest at the start ( and I am willing-
to grant that much ) his absjclatlon with Walt
street and his connection with wealthy men
hnd debauched his conscience and destroyed ,
all sympathy with the moFsas. "
Fuilhcr on , In discussing the gold ques
tion , ho said : "Rothschild and His American
agents gtaclously condescend to come to the
help of the treasury ( n maintaining the golil
standard , which has wrought the ruin , an *
only charges a small commli'jlon ot ten mil
lions or so. Great GoJ , that this proud gov
ernment , the richest , most powerful on th
gloLo , should have bjcn brought to so low
n pass that a London Jew should have been
appointed Its receiver and presumes to pat-
lonlztus !
"Tho responsibility ot proving revenue anil
looking for the solvency of ths treasury which
jcsty with congress .haa been usurped by the
president. Why Is he not Imptached ?
"Tho .encroachments of tbe feJe al Judiciary
'
amT'tho .suplneness'.and15venality corruption
I may say of the executive branches of the
government oreof deep concern to all think
ing and patriotic men. Wo are fast drifting-
Into go\eminent by Injunction In the Interest
of monopolies and corporatlona , and the EU >
premo court , by ono corrupt vote , annuls
an act of congress looking to the taxation
of the rich.
"Tho struggle from 1SC1 , to IS06 , which
drenched this fair land In blood , was to
emancipate l.OOO.OOQ black slaves. Wo are
fast approaching a condition which will place
the collar of Industrial bondage around the
necks of ten times that many whlto slaves.
A day of reckoning will como unless there
Is no longer a just God In heaven , and when
It docs como , woe bo unto those who have
bepn among the oppressors of the people.
The present struggle Is unfortunately like
that which preceded tha late civil war ,
Inasmuch , aa It lo sectional. The creditor
and the manufacturing states of the north
ind east , thcsohlch have grown Inordinately-
wealthy at the expense of the producing
classes of the south and west , are urging
this policy with thebtsoUeJ blindness ot
llulshazzar. "
"Undor the Sherman law , " he continued ,
"there wa a diminution of the amount of
free gold In a gradually decreasing scale , but
not enough to cause auv alarm. During the
entire year of 1S91 and the entire year ot
1832 there was approximately as much gold
no there was during 1SSI and 18S5.
"If trie secret history of the year 1S92
hall ever bo written It will disclose the fact ,
ivhlch cannot bo proven now , but of which I
have not the slightest doubt , that the gold
ring ot New York , which' embraces nearly
ill the bankers In the mMern and middle
< tatCB and the stock gamblers of Wall street ,
controlled the presidential nominations of
joth the democratic and republican parties
iml had an understanding with the managers
ir with both the candidates themselves 'In
regard to what policy should bo pursued

for the booming of Mr. Cleveland as the only
ivallablo democratic candidate and they
ibusod and ridiculed every ether democratic )
isplrant.
