The most picturesque feature of the reunion is the galaxy of pretty young ladies who will act as sponsors for the southern states. These ladies were se lected for this honor by the command ers of the United Confederate Veterans of their respective divisions. They not oUly represent the leading social circles of their respective states, but they have also been chosen on account of services /endered in the southern army by male ■members of their family. k Following are .the sponsors for each ktate: ■ Miss Hattie Patton Cooke, Virginia; Rise Julia Hughes Spurr, Kentucky; ■t s Sarah B.

Now, next year Nashville’s exposition comes on and we think it nothing but right that we should have the veterans with us.” Griffin Awarded First Prize, A joint meeting of the board of di rectors of the Davis monument com mittee from the United Confederate Veterans was held to award prizes for monument designs. Percy Griffin of New York received first prize; Edgar ton A. Rodgers and W. C. Nowland of Richmond, second and third. Griffin’s design is elaborate and ex pressive of tne sentiment of the south ern people, and it is estimated that it will cost <200,000.

The Herald’s correspondent in Guay aquil telegraphs that General Alfaro has left the capital to place himself at the head of an army of 3,000 at Rio Hamba.

The Candidate For Governor of South Caro lina Wants the Dispensary Remodeled. Charleston, June |0. —A campaign meeting at Monk’s Corner, Berkely county, was marked by a clash outside of senatorial candidates. It was charged by his opponent that Adjutant General Watts had, at Cleveland’s inaugura tion, fallen off his horse drunk. Mr. Harrison, one of the candidates for governor, named a new plank in his platform which is going to stir up the state from one end to the other. Harri son proposes to remodel the dispensary in its plan. It was the first time thej scheme was . suggested and took well ; with the crowd. Mr. Harrison’s plan ( ' is to abolish state control of the dispen sary, vest it in county governments, each county have its- oWn dispensary and have exclusive control of the man agement of the disnensary and appoint trial justice constables as liquor con stables and have no state constables. Mr. Harrison opposed dispensaries be ing forced on counties unless the voters I declared for it. The crowd was pleased ! with the scheme and hereafter it will I make a feature of the gubernatorial | race. John Gary Watts, adjutant and in- 1 1 spector general, taunted General Rich- I nurg, his opponent, with having been on the independent Haskell ticket in , 1890. General Richburg said that was of record; also that he had been a true reformer the past four years. He asked 1 , Watts if he had not been drunk when 1. In command of the Carolina troops at '' the Atlanta exposition and if he did not fall off a horse on the streets of Wash-' ington at Cleveland’s inauguration. Watts replied that any one who said so was an infernal liar. Richburg asserted that he saw Watts 1 ■ fall off his horse and saw him after he ' was taken to his room, helplessly drunk. | : Afterwards Richburg wanted to prove the statement by Governor Evans. The i ' governor said that he did not see Watts 1 fall off the horse, but that the whole party was drunk. The debate between Evans and Dun can was of a less sensational character. \ The sheriff and county senator led the interrogatories of Duncan and they cut i [ off his argument by saying if all he I charged was true, they did not blame I [ Governor Evans for taking all he could i, get from Rhind. The state paid Rhind . and lost nothing. If he paid it all to . Evans it was a compliment to a South [ Carolina lawyer. Duncan asked Sena- ■ tor Dennis whether he, appreciating ob- [ ligations to the state, would have taken the commissions. “I’d have jumped at . it,” said the senator. “We can’t live ■ i onoursalari.es.” Duncan said Evans was dishonorable . , in calling him a liar on occasions like , • these. 1 For the first time in the campaign a [ , great many ladies attended the meeting. ' I Will Demand Sic Dowell’s Resignation. 1 ■ Washington, June 30.—At a meeting ' held here by the executive committee of I the Columbian Liberty Bell association, ] i which consist! of the following : Mary ' I Desha, chairman; Mrs. Minnie F.

Pumpelly, a resolution , i was adopted authorizing Mrs. Green to ’ make a public statement in regard to 1 the amount due by the society on the j 1 bell for its construction.

WO LATE FOR A CONFERENCE NOW Says This Delegate atVarge From the State of Illinois SILVER MEN TO RUN THE CONVENTION Gold Men* Were A»ked a Year Ago to Cbn fer With the Silver Leaders, but lit fused,, and They Will Be Ignored at Chicago Convention—Senator Barris Teuuessee to Be Peru&anent Chairman. '■ Chicago, June 30.—1 f the prognosti cations of W. H. Hinrichsen, delegate at-large and chairman of the Illinois state central committee, are correct, the gold standard delegates to the Demo cratic national convention will be given no quarter. “Silver men are going to run the con vention,” said Mr. Hinrichsen. “They will control both temporary and perma nent organizations and will nominate a free silver ticket from top to bottom and adopt a free silver 16 to 1 platform. The wishes of the gold men will not be considered. The states they represent will not vote the gold ticket, and so they will be ignored. “Last year when the Democrats held a convention and declared for free sil ver, I wrote to Mr. Whitney and a num ber of other gold standard men, asking for a conference between the silver and gold standard representatives of the patty. Thoy oould not think of consult ing Wwith so insignificant a crowd as the free silver wing represented. Things have changed now. We represent two thirds of-the Democrats. We will not confer with the gold men now, and we have nothing to confer about. The Democratic party wants a free silver ticket and platform and we will have to give it to them.” TO ARRANGE MINOR DETAILS The Subcommittee of the Democratic Na tional Committee Will Sleet Wednesday. Chicago, June 30.—The subcommittee of the Democratic national committee will meet at the Palmer House in this city Wednesday for the purpose of ar ranging some of the minor details of the convention.. The subcommittee con sists of Chairman W. F. Hajrity of Pennsylvania, S. P. Sheerin of Indiana and Messi's. E. B. Cable of Illinois, J. F. Prather of Missouri, E. O. Wall of Wisconsin, Hugh O. Wallace of Wash ington and T. H. Sherley. The com mittee will bear reports from the sub committee on music, press and decora tion of the convention hall. Colonel Sheerin said that the committees hav ing this matter in charge will be able to ftport that everything Was in practical readiness for the convention and he had no doubt that the subcommittee in charge would find the work In all re spects satisfactory. The national com mittee has departed from the usual rule of having a committee composed of res idents to look after these matters. They placed the work in the hands of mem bers of their own organization and they feel that the innovation has proved a success. The full national committee will not meet until next Monday, the day before the convention. No one ap pears to have a definite idea of what business it will have before it. It will receive reports from the committees of various states, but Colonel Sheerin says that so far he has received official no tice of none, except from Nebraska. The Democratic party has in the past been so free from contests that there are few precedents to guide them. The na tional committee has never heretofore granted hearings, as the Republican committee does, nor attempted to ar range them so far as to decide what set of delegates, where there are contests, shall have their names placed upon the temporary roll. The practice has been rather to deprive both parties to a con test frlm participating in the tempo rary organization, thus referring the entire matter to the convention. It is believed that this plan will be pursued this year, though the silver men have been somewhat apprehensive that the national committee may at tempt to override these precedents and seat gold contestants, believing a ma jority of the committee to be opposed to silver. He ce the subcommittee which will meet W ednesday will be asked by the silverites to give them some assur ance on this matter. The national committee will at its meeting next Monday, designate tem porary officers of the convention, in cluding temporary chairman. SILVER MEN’S PROGRAM. Senator Harris to Be Permanent Chair man of the National Convention. Chicago, June 30.—The Record prints tj following: Senator Isham G. Har- Tennessee, a member of the Demo- bimetallic committee, will proba be permanent chairman of the Dem- national convention. This is a ■rt of the program of the silver men, ■rich includes the removal of the na- Honal Democratic headquarters to Chi ■igo and the election of Senator Jones Hf Arkansas, as chairman of the na- Bonal committee to succeed William E. Karrity. I The removal of the national head- Buarters to Chicago, the silver men de- Blare, will certainly be accomplished. rThey say that Illinois will be the battle [gtqtind, and Uis necessary that the < •enters ot r... ~—. >vith the men who are in the field mak ing the fight. Senator Fred Duboise of Idaho, the representative of Senator Henry M. Teller, reached Chicago Monday even ing and as soon as his valise had been taken to his room he hurried to the Sherman House and there met Judge McConnell. After a short conversation in the office Senator Dußoise and Judge McConnell went upstairs and Senator Teller’s campaign manager held a short conference with Senator Jones, Senator Harris, John W. Tomlinson and other Democrats. GARDNER GONE TO CHICAGO Headquarter* *»f tbe Association of Demo cratic Clubs Will Be Established. Washington,/ June 30.

TO FIGHT FOR GOLD. William C. Whltuey and His Party Will Leave New York. This Week. New York, June 30. The New Yorkers who are going to Chicago to fight for the gold standard have com pleted their arrangements. Mr. Wil liam C. Whitney will leave Vith a party of friends in a private car atAched to the Lake Shore limited of the New York Central railroad at 4:30 o'clock on Thursday afternoon, reaching Chicago Friday atternoon.

They will arrive in Chicago on Monday morn ing. Mr. Whitney said: “The fight is being keyed up in the sound money states, and there is a great increase in the spirit and determination of Democrats who are going to Chicago to fight for sound money. Oregon Delegates For Pennoyer. Portland, Or., June 30. —“Pennoyer for president” will be the slogan of the the Oregon delegation to the Chicago convention. It cannot be established that Pennoyer has expressed any desire to have it so, but there is little doubt that his.name and fame will be exploited long and loud among the Democrats. The state Democracy is in favor of free silver. Meckison Nominated For Oongress. Columbus, 0., June 30. —Judge D. Meekison of Napoleon was nominated by the Democrats for congress. “Free find unlimited coinage of silver” was indorsed. Delegates to the national convention: John Kuenecke, Putnam county, and Livi Jabobs, Van Wert county. Prospectors Having a Hard Time. Tacoma, June 30.—William Hutch inson returned Tuesday from Cook’s in let, Alaska, where he has spent two months. He came down on ths schooner Norma, which left Kodiak on June 26. Hutchinson says there are 1,750 people on Six Mile creek and about as many on Resurrection creek. About 750 of them are making from $1.50 to $2 a day, placer mining, but the remainder, he says, are absolutely helpless and are un able to find enough to keep them alive. As a rule, the gold consists of such light flakes that the breeze blows it away. Many es the prospectors would like to go to the Yukon country. That, however, is 200 miles away, and it is currently reported that the Copper river Indians, who live there, are on the warpath. Hutchinson thinks there will not be enough steamers to accom modate the people who will want to leave Cook’s inlet this summer. American* Will Be Honored. London, June 30. —It has been de cided that a review of troops will be held at Aidershot camp in honor of the Honorable Artillery company of Massa chusetts, now on its way to England. The date of this military turnout has not been fixed, but it is now known that the matter was arranged at the sugges tion of the Prince of Wales. This is the greatest compliment it is possible for the war department to pay the Americans, as reviews, up to the present, have never been held save for the crowned heads.

New York, June 30. The Herald says: Several Cubans, who arrived here on the steamer Saratoga, brought * with them copies of a warning circular addressed to Cubans informing them that during the summer there would be many explosions in the towns of tho island, caused by dynamite. The circu lar advised all Cubans to abandon the threatened region while the campaign of (Jestruction was in psogress. The circulars, in Spanish, were dated June 15, and were printed upon white tissue paper. Many thousands of these were said to be in circulation in and, about Havana when the steamer left that port. At the Cuban junta headquarters it was said that the destruction of Havanp, in this way had been under contempla tion for a long time and that private buildings and property owned by Span iards who are opposed to the independ ence of Cuba would be sacrificed as well as the public edifices occupied by the Spanish. Forced to Abandon Hi* Plantation. Havana, June 30.—The Spanish gar rison at the sugar estate Natalia, owned ' by Juan Jova, an American citizen, compelled his brother, who was in charge of the plantation, to leave on short notice. He reports that the Span ish were preparing to burn it. The Spanish forces operating in the neighborhood of Sagua la Grande had a sharp engagement on June 16 with the Cubans, under Colonel Jose Luis Roban, near Quemado de Ouines. Af terwards a special train took to Sagua la Grand 18 Spanish soldiers, wounded mostly with the machete.. The military hospitals of the town are full, seven or eight soldiers dying every day. Julio Martinez Mesa and Dr. Chavez, who had been graduated at the Univer-' sity of Havana only qne week before, joined the insurgents June 13. Next day seven other young men of Sagua followed them.

The dispatch adds that the government has completed arrangements for the use of 20 transatlantic steamers during the month of August to transport 40,000 re inforcements and 60,000 Mauser rifles to Cuba and also a number, of heavy guns to be mounted in the forts of Ha vana and other ports of the island. INDIANS ON THE WARPATH. The Pitt Bi ver Tribe Threaten to Massacre White Settlers on July 4. Redding, Cal., June 30.—Great ex citenlent has been caused by the receipt of a letter containing news of a threat ened rising of the Pitt river Indians. Judge Edward Sweeney of Redding re ceived the message, and the author is W. Bailey, a farmer, living at his farm on Pitt river, about six miles northeast of this city. •Bailey states in the letter that a friendly squaw came to his house and. informed him that the warriors of the Pitt river tribe intended to have a great pow wow near his farm on July 4, gathering as many braves as possible, and designed to follow their savage or gies by the massacre of all the white settlers who live along the banks of the river. Sheriff Houston is organizing an expedition to hurry on to the threatened region. This tribe is the most powerful and thoroughly organized in northern California. United States Troop* Pursuing Indian*. Tombstone, A. T., June 30.—United States troops, under Lieutenants Averill and Yates, surronnded an Apache camp in Sonora, about 40 miles below the line.
