j, .-what purports to be the platform and principles

V oondltlon'of the worningmen has been gradually
ij (rrowlngworse, both politically and socially, and
rt that if stringent rocaanres are not taken to pre
P Tent lUlheworkingmen will pass into serfdom.
It says that the only hope for the workingmen
Is lo elect their own candidates to legislative
offices. These candidates, if elected, the state
i meat says, will ' purge the archives of the na
il tionaland State Legislature of all so-called
:; labor laws which are ostensibly made for the
benefit of workingmen."
f It says-that these laws were really made to
K helu political fakirs, who have been making cap-

Jj The League, in its statement, promises .that
Irf Its candidates, if elected, will do something for
sV the citizens at large as well as for workingmen.
f They will vote in favor of more psr:. thrte-
'A cent carfares and more desirable things, and
against Sew York being run by rural legislators.

ATLiXTA. Gs July i. There is strife between
the local W. C. T. U. and the pastor and stew.
ards of Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, the
most fashionable place of worship lu Atlanta.
The W. C T. U. for ten years has held sessions
in the basement oi the church, ostensibly fur
thering the cause of temperance, until it was
discoi ered that they were, as they expressed it
through Mrs. M. L. McLendoa. their President.
" furthering womin sufirage because voting
women could bring temperance cjuickcr than
talking women."
Tbe stew ards. urged by Parson J. B. Eoberts,
forbade the ladies the use of the basement, and
the latter rejoined tn such a way as to call forth
an angry reply from Dr. Itoberta. in which he
said that the title " W. a T. U." was simply a
clack for political purposes, and that as be dis
approved of female suffrage, together with his
congregation, he had taken steps to stop the
meetings of a body which was fast merging into
a political organization.
Mrs. MeLrndon. answering him. said the ob
jection to their meeting was purelv sectarian
and caused by bitterness. She said that in her
opinion Dr. Warren Candler. President of
Emorj College and tbe most prominent Method
ist educator In the South, was behind the move
ment, as be had withdrawn bis wife from the
organization with tbe words that he would
" rather sec a saloon on every corner and a house

evident that tbe greatest obstacle la the way of
pacifying Cuba is tbt United Plate. Things are
becoming so complicated that It will soon bs
ceocsaary for Spain to forget party diffcrenoas
so that aU Spaniards may unite la a common
effort in tbe interest ot tbe nation. We hare
never desired war with tbe United States, and
less now than ever, for we are engaged in two
costly colonial wars. But even so, we invite
friends of the Cabinet to declare whether a solu
tion of tie Cuban troubles can be reached before
the nature of our relations with the Ttnkee
Government is duly established.
" If we carry on aa active campaign in Cuba
the great republic will make a thousand pro
tests against Spanish cruelty and srive the In
surgents arms, munitions, sad all sons of re
source. As proof of our cruelty la Cuba the
Yankees will invoke the reports to that effect
which have been sent to several European coun
tries by their Consuls in the Island.
" If. on the contrary, the war is carried on
moderately, with a amaller army, the United
States will, in the name of humanity and for the
sake of her own material interests in Cuba,
come to the front and say that she cannot oon
rat to the prolongation ot the struggle. It is.
therefore, impossible to finish the Cuban con
flict as long as the international side of the ques
tion remains unsolved.
" We do not ask for war. we repeat: but why
not enforce our rights f What prevents Spain
from exposing the conduct of the United States,
so that the nations may see tbe injustice of the
Americans I H this were done the United States
would either openly go to war. in violation of
all International principles, or recognise that
her conduct is unjustifiable, and. consequently,
cease to hinder Spain's efforts in Cuba.
"Admitting that, against all right, a coHlrion
should follow: admitting, also, that we should
be left unassisted and meet with reverse, we
w odd in a few months lose the island of Cuba,
and perhaps a part of our navy. But. let ths
United States know in advance that no such re
sult will be reached before great damages are
Inflicted upon her. and a glorious page is added
to our history.
" We would in this way lose much within a
short time. But are we not going to lose mora,
a great deal more. and. what is worse, uselessly.
for the interest and honor of the nation, by
gradually exhausting ourselves while the United
States at no nsk obtains everything from cs I
" In case the United Stales should prefer to
retreat before entering upon an unjustifiable
war witn us, Spain would then be able to pro
ceed In Cuba eiowly or rapidly, as she deemed
to be best for ber financial interests; for it must
not be forgotten that the Jingoes and revolution
ists plate all their hopes upon the exhaustion of
our retouroe.
- We do not advocate a war, which we would,
in fart, regret. We merely wish to present to
tbe Spanish people all sides of the protilem."
Iteviewlng the situation El LibrraJ says: " If
a plebiscite w ere taken In Spain and the vote
were publicly cast, a solution of the Cuban prob
lem would be reached. But this solution would
dejnd u jn the w ay In which tbe plebiscite was
taken. Secret t o:i ng would bring a result entire
ly different from public oting. This shows that
there is a lack of sincerity and great difference
between what people think and what people say.
Severthelefcs. we have arrived at a critical mo
ment, when radical steps may be taken, for our
people are apt to go from one extreme to an
other. Two solutions, equally grave, are looked
upon without ai.y -great reluctance: the end of
the Cuban conflict by tbe abandonment of tbe
island, or the settlement of the international
phase of the question through a rupture with
the l nltea r-latca.
It was recently said in this correspondence
that "among the Spanish monarchical pc:i
ticians. Sefior Silveia, leader of the disentient
Conservatives, is perhajs the only one who will
dare, when the moment comes, to lay beiore the
Cones the advisability of abandoning Cuba." ,
Sefior Silveia evidently thinks the time to do ,
this is fast approaching. In his reoent speech at l
the Teatro Modcmo in this city he clearly I
pointed at this po&siblliiy when he said that i( I
the war in Cuba has become a war between .
two nationalities, all Cubans being hostile to i
Spain, the best course for Spain is to clear out. I
Silveia knows ery well, though be did not ad- j
mlt it in this speech, that most Cubans are in I
favor of independence, and also that those who, ,
for reasons of their own, prefer the oonlin nation i
of Spanish rule in Cuba are by no means w j-
inc to submit to tbe retime which, according to (
yilveia. is the only one compatible with -punish
1 Mjvrre.gniy in the island. He has neve' l.e
I lievJ in the loyalty of the Cubans. When the ,
Aharzuxa reforms were clscussnd. at a moinen:
! when a war in Cuba was considered prr;o-
teroufc. S-lvela closed bis speech by saying
"These reforms are sell enough, out if tbe
' Government were to follow my advice their
I establishment would lie precwded by the sending
of S.'.KH so.diers to Cuba."
. :iome time previously sefior 53vela Kaitpbefore
i the M&dnd Athenirum that it was almost :m
' jnsib)e to reconcile tbe mi-rcsts of Cuba with
j tbce of Spain, for "in Cuba thtise who do no:
! love us the Cutiansi have every reason to com
plain, while those w bo Jove t.s tne r-pamardsi
will never allow us to do justice to the inland."

most hopeful Spaniards here reoognire tbe
failure of his campaign in Santiago de Cuba
Tirovmce.
Aa English nurse, belonging to the Bod Cross
Society, who came from Liverpool, to assist in
the hospitals of tbe Spaniards and Cubans alike,
has had a disagreeable erp-nrnce witii the
Spanish authorities. She has been permitted
only to attend to the Spanish sick in the hos
pitals of Havana, and she has txcn roughly
treated.
At Monies deGavfian. in Matanras province.
the column of Gen. Molina raided a Cuban
hospital, killing fourteen wounded Culuin
soldiers, five women and two children. One
prisoner, whom they were taking to Matanzas,
begged the men to kill him. a one of the Cubans
assassinated was his son and one of the women
his wife, and be did not desire to Ine after wit
xii'fcsing their fate. He ws shot Ik '..re arriving
at Limonar. His name was J ..an Garcia

Juan Lavin. a Cuban prisoner at the fortress
of La Catiafia, died yesterday from poison ad

Acalnst Spain In tbe Fhtllanlne.
Taooma, Wasm, July 4. Oriental advices re
ceived to-day say that the Philippine Islands re
bellion has developed a military genius who is
the life and soul of the Insurgents. He is a na
tive and his name is Emello Aguinaldo. He has
repeatedly defeated superior Spanish forces with
a few hundred Insurgents. Aguinaldo has also
proved himself a capable Governor and adminis
trator, and is described as brave, generous, and
honest, while other native commanders have
proved themselies cowardly, squeezing from
poor villagers contributions and taxes under
pretense ot earning on the war, but in reality to
enrich themselves and to wreak vengeance on
their personal enemies,
Aguinaldo has punished severely all those
fount! oppressing the poor. It is his ambition to
conquer the islands and found a republic.
Another remarkable man developed by tbe
E resent war is a Chinese whose Christian name
i Joe Garcia Paua. He was employed as fore
man in an iron foundry in Brae Barraca, and
there learned to make cannon. When the insur
rection began in Cavite province he went there
to get his wife. There be met Capt. Aguinaldo
sne lcame his aide-de-camp. Paua was set to
making bronze cannon, which have played havoc
in the ranks of the Spanish army.

PtiiJtiiM. 30nxt. July -4. A far aa can be
learned tea people were killed by tbe severe
storms throughout north western Minnesota oa
Friday and Saturday. A tornado swept over
Carver. Mora. Hinckley. Barxtum. and Bed Lake
Falls and did considerable damage to property.
At Mora four Indians were buried in tbe
rains of a barn and were killed. At Carver
the storm struck several barns and granaries.
carried, tbem away, and killed considerable
stock. Timbers wore driven into the road and
broken off. A mower was standing alone'ia aa
open field and both wheels were torn off and
broken. A sew windmill was wrecked and
trerr wagon on Paul Ireis's farm was broken
10 pieces.
From there tbe storm tore its way through the
forest, wrecking nearly every tree la its path,
until It reached the farm of Henry Bear, where
it wrecked his barn, burying fire horsra under
the debris and ruining a new thrashing machine,
1 1 also wrecked his windmill, which stood within
a few feet vf his bouse.
The tornado rose then for a half mile and came
dwn on the property of August Buroe. where it
tmroof ed nls house and dostroycid his barn, kill
ing eeveral horses. This is the worst storm
Carver county has- had for years. It was only
about five hundred feet wide and covered a
territory about six miles long. Thedainage will
amount to nearly eMj.OOO.
Tbe w tier in the flooded district Is now re
ceding, and there is no f urther danger of loss of
21Te. The estimated lo" Is VTuaOOO. Soneofthe
railroads coming Into Duluth are running trains
on anything like schedule time. Tbe st. Paul is
stalled about forty miles from here. The Duluth.
Sujierior and Western rosd has three bridges
destroyed and twelt e washouts.
The officials of tht road say tbey do not expect
to run trains for a w eek at least. There is no
telegraph communication with towns on this
road, and therefore nothing is known of the
storm's ravages there. The telegraph wires will
probably be up to-morrow. There is no further
danger from the floods at Protor Knott, Carl
ton, or Fond du Lac
The dead, aa far as known, are as follows:
James Cnmmings of Sctoadji. nrutk by lirht

then none of Bosler's friends or accuaintanoes

The TTitnninr man's friends believe that he was

Madkih. Jnne 1A It was cfflrAaOr an
nounced a few days ago that a Te Dram would
soon be sung at the Manila Cathedra for tbe
pacification of the Philippine Islands, but tbe
ceremony, it seems, will bare to be postponed,
because tbe latest despatches from Captaia
Geueral Primo de Rivera show tbat the rebel
lion, which appeared to have been crashed, is
again making headway. Gen. Primo da Rivera
says:
The insurgents not being able to remain
among tbe mountains in Cavite and Bataxuras,
both to account of a lack of vupport from tbe
Inhabitants and because of the incessant at
tacks by our troops. Aguinaldo. their co-called
Gcsrralissimo, crossed the Pasig lUvcr and
went to the Morong Mountains to confer with
I.'unrra. the insurgent leader in the central
part of the island of Luzon.
"I learned thct Aguinaldo. with 4.000 men,
l.CK0 of whom had firearms, was at Iuray, on
tbe Montalran Mountains, occupying a formid
able position. 1 ordered a oombined attack by
.200 men from Manila and Bulacan prcivinces.
"With some of the troops Gen. Zapnlno
feigned to attack Puray from several points, so
as to allow the remaining troo;is to climb up the
rugged mountains and ctrc-umrrnt the enemy.
Pursy was attacked in front by Col Dugiols s
column, and the enenuy's ;oKltions were cs
turtid with great courage and skill, while alt
other uoluxnn under Major Primo de Rivera
cut off the retreat of the insurgents and in
fiitted great lo-. upon them. It is said the ene
my had 400 dead. Our losses are most lament
able, two Captains, two Lieutenants, and twenty-three
privates dead, and a Lieutenant and
fifty-eight iirivates wounded."
In-sfuitcbes to the newrpapers here give a
1 somewhat differeail vermou of the affair, which
is. uc-Tenbeli-ia. considered as a signal victory
I tor the bpanihh arxuy.
I Other despatchce suy that the insurgents are
turaiu organizing the Katipunan. or Central
Revolutionary Aswiciatiun. most of whose lead
ing tueinber were shot by Gens. Blanco and
Polavitja. The new president of the Kuti
pmihTi is Father Daudam. a native priest, noted
lor his talent.
This ri-;ort has greatly impress! the public
here, for id! w ere beginning to believe that the
war in the East was reaCr ove-r Sot more
than a wiek ago Gen. Prime de Hit era an
nounced tbe return to triisih of more than 3,000
sick soldiers, and said that he did not need to
have than replaced. He fujthrnniire de
clared that the country was beouming entirely
pacified.
Mail advices, to which no attention was paid
until now, confirm the theory timt the insur
rectitRi has been dormant but not exunguiabed
bin- the CK-traptition by the paulab of tbe in
surgent strongholds in Cavite. In a letter from
Manila to El Currr.0 tbe cxjrrepundcnt write:
"Tltt: euoceatdve capture of towns tn Cavite
continues, but only wumen and children are to
lie found there, tor the men have all disap
twared. Jl is jiossible that the insurrection will
tie organized in other protinoe. particularly in
Bulacan, which is already infested with sev
eral bands. To preient this Gen. Polavieja
uked for reinforcements. As long as it does
nut rain the task of reconquering cities and
towns will be earned on. but tbe insurgento
