WASHINGTON, May 10.?The an?A
rxf iha
nouncemeni ?
withdrawal of Governor Morton from
the presidential race baa been Investigated
and seems to be well authenticated
and l? generally accepted aa true.
It is the subject of general discussion aa'
an important break in the lines of the
opposition to ex-Governor McKlnley
and makes more certain the prediction
made by Senator El Kins through the Intelligencer
that the St Louis convention
trill be resolved Into a ratification meetlog.
This probability is speculated upon
variously and within the range of discussion
la the certainty of a brief convention
and the disappointment that
will b? to St Louis.
JK^jor Alderson Pradteta.
Major J. C. Alderson. well known and
prominent among Democratic leaders In
West Virginia, is In the city and with
others expressed great Interest In the
cm-s from New York.
"I sm of tbt? opinion," he sa^d, "that
the Chicago convention will divide on
the silver question. If the St Louis
convention adopts an honest money
platform, without equivocation It will be
the wisest thing the Republicans ever
did. Major McKlnley has plain sailing,
so far as the nomination is concerned,
but If his party straddles the financial
Usui' !t will hurt him at the polls. The
Democratic party Is not a unit and I believe
the silver advocates predominate.
If the ccnevention shall adopt a platform
declaring vfor gold, I believe there
will be a third ticket put in the field.
That will possibly throw the election
into the honse. If the Republicans shall
adopt a declaration such aa that promulgated
by* their state convention in
Massachusetts, for example, there can
N? but little doubt of Major McKlnley's
election by the people."
He Talks.fcaM.
M*for Alderson Is an ex-confederate
9>ldicr and has hid much to do in the
l?ost with shading Democratic policy
and naming:- Democratic candidate*. He
baa some very decided views on the
money question, however, and will not
}e found training with the free coinage
crnwtl" thrdeidafed to-nli*t that the
policy advocated by the extremists In
that faction-waa of benefit to a few
millionaire mino owner* only, and
would. If adopted, bankrupt the country.
"If the Republican party, which now
wms destined to control affairs," Major
Alderaon continued, "will only declare
th.it the national obligations shall be
paid In gold, the natlnnal credit will be
inured In all the world, and If Its representatives
In Congress will see to it
thai a proper tariff policy is maintained
giving protection to the Interests that
dr serve and should have ft, there can be
do doubt of the popular approval."
Why lie la AnuMl.
lie said he was amaxed to see that the
I^mocratlc party la so broken up. and
that it Is entering upon the presidential
' anipalgn without leaders. "Not one of
thorn." he added, "has the cournffo to
combaC the silver erase, and some of
them are openly advocating It."
Major Alderson was'accompanied to
th* city by Captain Peamster and his
three daughters, of Greenbrier county,

on their return to school at Culpepper,

Senator Frye, u chairman of the commute*

Senator White will reply briefly to
Mr. Frye. After this It is expected that
the vote on the amendment will be
token, and that, whatever the fate oC
this amendnrtnt, the bill will be promptly
passed. It Is not expected to remain
long In conference, as there la a disposition
manifest in both houses to. ret

flntA nMntlmhln THIa la Hn* tn th?
fear of a veto and the determination to
remain In session long enough to give
Congress time to act in case of such adverse
endorsement by the President.
The agreement In regard to the Duporit
ease is that it shall be taken up for
debate Immediately after the disposal
of the rivers and harbors bill and that
a vote shall be taken not later than 5
o'clock of the second day after the debate
begins.
It la doubtful whether the entire tirrte
allowed for debate will be required.
The result of the vote is still In doubt
It depends upon one or two Populist
senators, who have not made their position
known so far as can be ascertained.
There are several features in the district
bill which ere expected to arouse
debate, but if it fhould be passed before
the close of the week the committee oh
appropriations will have the fortification
appropriation bill ready to take up.
and will press its consideration. There
will, however, be strong pressure in
that event to work on the calender.
The Cuban question a* presented
by the Imposition of the death sentenoe
upon the members of the Competitor
party brings forward a decidedly Interesting
condition which may result In an
attempt at action on this question by
the senate during the week. In fact,
the outlook in this direction is full of
possibilities.

bishops and given Episcopal residences
In Africa and India, and that five additional
bishops be created with Episcopal
residences, one to bo assigned to
India, another to China, u third to Japan,
a fourth to Europe and the fifth
t.? South America. He thought twelve
bishops would then be able to perforin

would be relieved of the foreign work,

bishops will he elected and the total
number be Increased to twenty-one. Already

MADRID, May 10.?There ore evidences
of growing popular excitement
In Spain over the attitude of the United
States government towards the question
| of the filibusters captured on board the
Competitor. The riots and outbreaks of
popular hatred towards the United
States at the time of the passage
through Congress of the resolutions favoring
the recognition of,the Cubans as
belligerents have not been forgotten,
and the sentiments which caused them
are but smoldering.
The Spanish government has, on all
possible occasions, expressed Its appreciation
of , and satisfaction with, the
efforts made by the United States government
to prevent as far as lay In Its
power the giving of unlawful aid to the
Cuban Insurgents by cltlxens of the
United State*. Hut the widespread
! sympathy felt for the insurgents la the
United States is well recognized by the
Spanish people and the news of the expeditions
from the United States from
time to time in Cuba creates intense Irritation.
The news of the capture of the men on
the Competitor was received with great
satisfaction and rejoicing. It was felt
to be the first opportunity that had been
offered to make an example of those engaged
In feeding the insurrection. The
popular dermuld for their execution is
general and Is likely to become vociferous.
Mttlo account Is taken of the refined
questions of treaty Interpretation
involved In the protest of the United
State s government against the execution
of the sentences. The action of the
United States Is regnrded rather as an
expression of sympathy with the Insurrection.
and there will be a strong popu
The public feeling on the subject Is
fostered by the tenor of the advices received
from Havana. Dispatches from
there affirm that Captain General Weyl?*r
Is greatly lrrltat**d at the attitude of
the Unled States on the question of sentenced.
It ! asserted that If the Spanish
government adopts a contrary view, owing
to the representations made by the
United States government. Captain
General Weyler will resign hl? pott.
Allegations are made In these Havana
dispatches of very extraordinary conduct
on the part of Mr.Karoon O. Williams,
the United Stales fconsol general.
If these are not true, they are nevertheless
certain to add fuel 40 the flrs of

attitude. It Is asserted, Is the subject
of general censure In Havana and
Is said to be very provocative. The
story goes on to relate that the United
| States consul general shows mmscir
| everywhere in public placets In Havana
using Irritating and menacing language
regarding the probable action of the
United State* towards the authorltlea
I in Cuba If the sentences upon the Competitor
captives Is executed.
i The Imparclal, commenting upon the
attitude of the United States, says that
a man accused of acts of piracy admit!
ted before a court martial in Havana
I that the" American police made a point
j of vanishing when filibustering expeditions
for Cuba were about to leave Key
West.
I El Liberal declare* thai tho Spanish
government ought tojiivosent a squadron
to Cuba, In addition to arming all
tho Trans-Atlantia steamboats at its
disposal for that service. This newspaper
asserts that the steamer Bermuda,
belonging to tho Cuban Insurgent
I committee, embarked upon the Florida
coast 10,000 rifles, six pieces of artllery.
three mutrallleures. a quantity of muhltlona
of war and 800 men, the majority
of whom were gunners of the United
states malltla, for the supply of the Insurgent
forces in Cuba. The iinbarkaI
tlon took place, El Liberal says, in spite
of the protests of the Spanish consul at
Jacksonville, against allowing it, and
the Bermuda left without difficulty or
obstruction and. according to telegrams
received from Captain General Wayler,
the expedition has already landed. This
report has created a sensation in Madrid

Literal at the conduct of the United
States In the matter.

It has become known that the British
consul iibb Blow iiiwi ?nreu *i? iuu "?mmu
ot his government on behalf of the
Competitor's captives sentenced to

prisoners.
This action of the British government
in the case has caused a sensation
here and it has been the topic of
comment to-day by all social classes
In the community.
It would be difficult to say from any
admissions made in official quarters
what effect this new development will
have in the ruse. There is a marked
absence of irritability manifested in
the comments on the subject, and the
action of the British officlul seems to
have been taken In very good part- It
Is pointed out that the intervention of
the Britsh consul Is couched In very
different form from that of the United
States connul general, and Is, In fact,
expressed in very friendly terms. Invoking
the clemency Of Uio Cuban
authorities.
The question of the execution of the
captives of the Competitor Is recognized
to be one of the most Important which
haif occurred since the insurrection
broke out. Now that the question has
been referred to the govrnment at Madrid,
the situation here has quietedfcown.
though there is no cessation of interest
and discussion of the question. The
attitude of the public is rather one of
waiting on the resolution of the Madrid
government. The waiting is attended
br much Impatience and no little
anxiety. ________

LONDON, May lO.-The Madrid correspondent
of the Standard says:
"Senor Canovas del Castillo hs? publicly
stated that America has not protested
against Spain's tight to punish
filibusters, but only against the summary
trial. American citizens are entitled
to be tried In the civil courts under
the treaties of 1796 and 1877. The Spanish
ffovernment Is willing to consider the
demand, and has oabled to Captain General
Wcyler to delay the executions
pending the result of the negotiations
which are actively proceeding between
Washington And Madrid to define the
Interpretation of the aforesaid treaties.
"Senor Canovas made a ion* speech at
a meeting of Conservative senators and
deputies on Saturday evening, in which
he declared that this was a national
question which must some day be settled
with the assistance of ail the artles.
He declared that It was impossible to Introduce
reforms Into Cuba before the
situation there should resume Its normal
condition. He confessed his belief
that war alone would fall to terminate
the insurrection, bat he believed that
the Insurgents cold become discouraged,
and that radioal hatred would contribute
largely to cause a cessation of hostilities.
If, however, the premier went
on, public opinion in Spain should pro-,
nounce for a more radical and quicker
Introduction of colonial horns rule, the
conservative government and party
would willingly resign the direction of
affairs to the hands of those consenting
to assume such responsibility.

The fact that the Havana ofTlclals
have referred the execution of sentence

An the lighter wu going by Governor's
Island, by way of the channel,
the tug put back for pier 3, where. It
is said, the detective# met Consul General
Baldesano and Marshal McCarthy.
They were evidently instructed to continue
their pursuit of the lighter, as
the tug steamed across the river
through Buttermilk Channel to Atlantic
Basin, where the lighter was found
warped to a dock. Her cargo had been
removed.
The tug then proceeded over to where
the Laurada lay and dropped anchor
to the south of Bedlow's Island. Smoke
was pouring from the funnels of the
steamship and there was much bustle
and activity on deck. Half an hour
later the Laurada steamed down the
bay and passed out at quarantine.
It Is believed that the Laurada will
meet Home sailing vessel containing the
lighter's cargo somewhere down the
coast; that the boxes and cases taken
aboard the lighter will be transferred
from the sailing vessel to the Laurada,
which, with Captain O'Brien or Captain
Huahes in command, will attempt
