the polltftriaah in Washington are
l-autchinjc ibowt th* publicat.on of decretory
H'»ke Smith's letter written in the fall of

of a m.*difl*d subtreasury plan, l-y whk a
the government waa to lasue doUa*s baaed
on non-perishable agrlvult ini ptvdcifk
but In which he made the un«*MUlrucal dr..
I a ration that h* favored the tn's ro-nege
of silver, and nla»> favored tn* taraance of
treasury notea to take up tne government
bund*.
Since Secretary Smith has b-**n In Wash
ington he has been posing as one of the
ungtiaal no-called "Found rn«»n y” n* n of
the Mouth. It has Mt U-en ftMtm h i*
fore that only a few years iyo he waa an

his change of seni.ment dat -d from ike
:lme he entered th* cabinet -* received
with considerable amusement here.
The papers here publish* I the Peek let

effort to have the democracy of that state

and the patronage forces have suffered a

that the only chanre for bimetallism lies
In the democratic party. If the result of
the convention will hring bark to the dem
ocratic fold any of those |M*ople who arc
not acting with us. It will be a fortunate
thing. As I understand the matter, the
convention was in the nature of a response
to the gold democrats who hrl«l the meet
ing at Memphis and who Inaugurated the
method of inviting all the friends of their
side of the money question to unite with
them.
"I have no doubt that a majority of the
I people of Georgia favor a bimetallic
standard. This Is an off year In Georgia
politics, however," continued the speaker.
“We have no vlectfrm, and It seems to
me that the campaign is premature, but I
am firmly < onvinerd that w hen the people
consider the question fully they will reach
the conclusion that enduring pros|w*rity
Is inqiusFible under a single gold stan
dard."
“Will you take part In the campaign on
your returnT*
"Certainly,' replied Speaker Crisp. "Aw
soon as I get back I shall return to Geor
gia and make a scries of speeches."
FjH-ak«-r Cri»g> will doubtless lie treate«l

unable to get satisfactory stateroom ac

main in this city but a day or so.
His si»n. Charles Crisp, who was his

Mr. Cr'Sp writes to a friend in this
city that his health lias greatly improved
an I he baa had no more heart trouble,
whith caus'd his friends much urasiness
last winter. Ills trip abroad is for his
health and tt is thought that a couple ut
months s|s‘nt in travel will completely re

has taken little active interest in politics

position In the matter of gold shipments is

Th«- syndicate is selling bills to all who

them at bs- than they w*uuld ship
gold. To the**.- parti* < tne reply has been
that 1 1 !*• was a fair rate and that a
lower rate roiild not Ih- mad* to one and
not tu all. Anyon*- who did not like the
rate and thought better r«-«ults could be

by the Hon. Hoke Smith five years ago
to the Hon. W. J 4. Peek, both of Georgia,
in which Hoke declared himself squarely
ami without qualification for the free coin
age of silver. Incidentally he mentioned
hi ■ yearning for a graded im-orne tax and
for certain pct measures of populism, but
the main article of Hoke's political faith
in was free coinage. Notice in pass
ing the curious, although not particularly
important, coincidence in the dates and
cirrumstancea. Huke Smith's adhesion tu
the cause of free silver was written in
S* p»»-mber, IMm. ami confided to the deli

from those which he expressed five’* *

By the Collision <»f Iwo steamer* In Ital
ihii Water*.
T«a Bpezzia. Italy. July 21.-A terrible acci
dent resulting In the loss of 148 lives oc "
curred . ear the mouth of the gulf of Spez
zia today. At half-piM 1 o 10-k this
morning the steamer ’ trtigia. and Maria 1
ran Into each other and the latter vestal
was so badly damaged that she sank In a
very short time. The Maria T’ had on
board. In addition to her crew, 178 passen
gers bound from Naples forth- River
Plate, by far the larger part of whom
were emigrants. Tin- night was pitch dark
w hen the collision occurred and th.* s«***n,*
on boa d the sinking steamer almost defies
rlption. Most of the passengers w» r*
asleep In their bunks at the time, and wa re
.<wakrn»*d «\ he era hing 17 th- s». anier s
plat-s, deck beams and deck plank . Th- v
were panic stricken and rushed j«dl m* 11
on deck, where they ran hither and thither,
calling upon the saints to sav»* them.
From the reports of th* disaster received
here it is impossible to determine whether
any attempt was made by th* Mana 1’ to
clear away and launch her small boats t >
attempt to rescue the passengers, but judg
ing from the account given by the ex- j
cited survivors, it is surni.s«d that t - ,
steamer went down too quickly to allow of i
this being done, though one boat got away. ;
The blackness of the night added to the
terror of those on board and it is under- .
stood that some of the passengers craze*! .
with fear, Jumped overboard.
The force of th** collision was terrific. The i
Ortigla struck th** Maria I’ squarely on the
starboard side and her stern penetrated ,
th.* ill-fated steamer for a distant*-* of i
eighteen feet. When she backed out a ;
great volume of water poured through th*'
oritice and th** vessel began almost imme
diately to settle.
No mention is made of the Ortlgia lower
ing her boats to attempt to rescue the !m
--j*eril**d people on the Maria I’. Whether
the former vessel was damaged or not is
not known. The survivors are in such a
mental condition that it Is impossible as
yet to g**t any connected story from them,
but from th** statements of some of the
crew It app-a.rs that the disaster was the
fault of th- Ortlgia. The crew of the Ma
rla T nuinltvred seventeen, of this number
fourteen were saved in the boat that got
cb ar of the ship. This boat also saved the
thirty passengers who escaped drowning.
The O tlgia, on her previous voyage, col
lided in this same -pot with a French
st. amer and this fad adds strength to the
belief that she was responsible tor this
morning s disaster.

Washington. July 21. -Senator J. 8. C.
Blackburn, of Kentucky, a national figure
in the silver fight, returned to Washington
from Kentucky yesterday, but has thus tar
maintained strict s» < re* y as to the object
of his visit. It is belie veil by some that the
chief reason of his presence here is to ex-
Ipedite if possible the payment of the sugar
bounty, now’ held back by Comptroller

Senator Blackburn was an advocate of the
measure in the senate, and it is said he
I is in Washington now at the request of

Washington. July 20.—Yesterday’s special
cabinet meeting, for which Secretary O|.
n *y made a flying trip from Massachusetts,
was the most interesting topic of discus
sion today, for definite information as to
I.• objei t of tbs n.‘ • ■ - I • • ■• ■
coming. Mr. Olney was at the state de- !
for about an hour this morning
hi consultation with S-rretarv Lamont,
leaving there at 10:3> o'clock for the Penn
sylvania railroad ata: on. where he took a
train at 11 a. m. for Boston. Senor Du
puy de Lome, the Spanish minister, who
aso arrived in Washington yesterday un
expectedly, also had a con versa t.on of
about twenty minutes' dura tun with Mr.
Olney and Mr. Lamont.
Mr. Olney did not confide to any of the
state department officials, except Acting
Secretary Adee. the obj-ct of the cabinet
conference, at wh • h Mr. Adee was pr -
ent for a short time. In the absence, how
. eve;. .»r any positive statement it is pretty
generally understood that the meeting was
based on th** embarrassment of the I’nited
States in the emphatic a- usat.on of the
Spanish government that this country Is
not enforcing the naturality laws with
enough vigor. Reports th it fil bustering ex
peditions are being organized for service in
Cuba have reached both the state depart
ment and the Spanish government dur
ing the past week, and have caused con ’
shier tide uneasiness to Spain for obvious ■
reasons and to this gov -rnment becauae
it has been unable to locate the alleged ex
pedltions or to prevent the departure from
the Vn ted Stat, -• for Cu’.a.
Derided To f’n.v the Claim.
Th** Spanish auihor.t ,*s have indie it* 1
lately, through th** press of that country
and by other means, that Spain wou.d be
perfectly willing to pay the de-
manded by this government as .ndemnity
to Maxima Mori, if the United States
would make a more thorough effort to
prevent filibustering expeditions from
this country to assist the Cuban insurgents
in i- present strugg.** for ii*dependr-n«
T - government has strenuously nsiste i
that it is doing all that **an b* done to
enforce the n *utrality laws, an 1 cites the
proclamation recently issued by the presi
dent on the subject as evidence of its
good faith .n this respect. Now. however,
sine • the Span.sh council of state has de
cide,! to pay the Mora claim without delay,
th s government feels that it is in the posi
tion to pay s«>m«* herd to Spanish impor
tunity without seeming to do so condi
t <»ii t ly upon the payment of the claim, and |
it is said that yesterday’s meeting was call .
♦ d for the purp.ne of d» -Vising ways and j
m» ans to make a more st.vnuous effort tc t
satisfy Span. Mr. Olney will probably go |
at on- • to Gray Gables and report to the
president the views of Messrs. Carlisle. I
Harmon. I.amon: and Herbert, as ind.rated I
in the c «nferen<*»* yesterday.
Minister i»upuy de Ixime's reports from
Cuba show that matters there are la a
quiescent state. He has received no con
firmation of the rej»ort of Gen
eral Hantoclldes’s death on the itth in
stant. and Is disposed to ioubt its truth
fulness. Mr Dupuy says the statement
that General Santocildes was next in ,*«n
--■ mand to General Campos .s incorrect. He
j was a brigadier general and the youngest
* of his iank in the Spanish army. Hr was |
a colonel only a few months ago and re- ’
. *lv.*d his promotion for gillant conduct, i
[ but he was outrank**’! by several other
; officers now serving under Campos in Cub*.
, General Campos will not begin an active '
! crusade av.t nst the rebels until the ra.ny ;
t ,-**as*»n ends, which will be in September
next. He will then begin a concerted move- :
ment whu h h*- believes will soon stamp !
out th** rebellion. Thirty thousand ad- .
ditional troops wail be shipped to Havana ,
in the autumn, if Campos deems their j
Fe«*«iliiK Rulnine to the Troops.
Contrary l to general expectations, the
yellow fever has prevailed only to a lim
ited extent in the island. It was frared
1 last spring that it would create great
I havoc in the Spanish ranks. General Cam
pos orders a dose of qu.nine served w.th I
the coffee each morning to every member
of th,* command. The litest official re- •
j»orts from Cuba show that while the in
surgents are making acc*ssl<»ns to their j
ranks, their a,cessi<»ns an* mainly from .
the lawbss element in the island, who ad
joining the rebels more in a spirit of ad- j
venture thin because of any sympath?
they may have, for th,* principles for •
which th** latnr ar** contending.
InvrenisinK the I onnulsr service.
For many years the Spanish government
had no other representative in Florida
than a consul of the second class, Mr. t
Pedro Sol s, who was stationed at Key I
West. In view of the contiguity of Flor- !
ida to the island of Cuba, it has been de
cided to increase materially the Spanish '
consular service in that state. Mr. Dupuy I
I de Lome has been advised, therefore, that .
* Mr. Solis his been promoted to a consular
ship of the first class with headquarters
at Tampa. He will be succeeded at Key '
West by Mr. Rodrigues Escudero, now the j
Spanish vice consul at Faris. -Mr. Puig,
th** present vice consul at New* Castle. Eng- ,
I land, will be transferred to Key West as
I vice consul. Mr. Garcia Cruz, the Spanish
vi.*,* consul at Cardiff. Wales, will be sent
I to Jacksonv.lle as vice consul there, and i
Mr. Mariategui, the vice consul at Liver- _
’ pool, will be stationed in the future at Tam-
I pa. with the same rank.

DI R ANT’S TRI %L

Today*.
San Francisco, July 21.—The trial of Wil
Ham Henry Theodore Durant for the mur
der of Blanche Lamont in Emanuel Hap
list church begins in the superior court to
morrow. Seventy-five citizens have been
summoned to report at that hour, but su< b
a strong public sentiment existed against
the accused at the time of his arrest that
it is believed twelve men will not be ob
taine 1 from this number. In or ier to over
come any possibility of a jury not being se
cur, 1 seventy-five additional jurors have
been summoned to appear on Wednesday.
From the hour of opening of court until
the case is ended there wU! be a bitter legal
battle. The police are positive of securing
a conviction and the defense is just as posi
tive of an acquittal. The evidence on the
part of the prosecution will be entirely cir
cumstantial. A complete chain w hich can
not t»e broken has been woven, say the po
lice. but the defense has intimate,] that an
alibi which will o«* presented will break
every link. Durant expresses great confi
dence in the outcome. He maintains his
innocence and ha> hinted that some start
ling evidence will be given in his favor, but
will not say what the nature of it is.
It is thought the trial will last at les. t
two weeks. Should a verdict of acquittal
be rendered he must still answer for tbe
murder of Minnie Williams. The strongest
charge, however, is the one he will face in
the morning.
