BOIES RENOUNCES
SIXTEEN TO ONE.
The Erstwhile Free Silver Leader
Says It is a Lost
Cause.
"THE BATTLE FOUGHT AND LOST.”
First Public Declaration from Boies
That He is Hostile to
the Platform.
I
Waterloo, la., June 28.—“ For one Ij
do uot believe it possible to suuoeed on
tbe platform that demands tbe unqual-,
itied free noinage of silver at tbe ratio
of 16 to 1 with gold. We have fought
that battle aud it is lost. We can never
tight it over under circumstances more
favorable to ourselves. If we hope to
to succeed we must abaudon this ex
treme demand.”
In these words Horace Boies, former
governor of lowa aud erstwhile Dem
ocratic presidential aspirant, address
es the voters of the United States who
demaud the free coinage of silver. He
does it through the medium of a letter
to Col. D. M. Fox, of Des Moines.
“The frieudsof silver,although once
defeated, are nut yet demoralized.
This will not be true after the seoond
defeat,” he warn'ngly says. “In our
next battle we must win or our cause
is lost.” Although Hr. Boies has In
private frequently expressed hostility
to the 16 to 1 plank of the Chicago
platform, this is the first authoritative
declaration from .him to that'efiect.
lu publicly declaring it to be a dead
issus he gives at length his reasons for
asserting it to be such. He says tbe
voters buried it under the belief that
it meant silver monometalism, pure
and simple, which would increase in
stead of diminish the misfortunes at
tributed to the single gold standard.

provement was established upon re

CUBANS ACTIVE.
Gomez Begins nis Summer Campaign by At
tacking the Spaniards.
New York, June 28.—A dispatch to
the Herald from Key West says that
private advices from Santiago province
gives further details of the fighting
during the last week around Gibra and
Banes between the insurgents and the
Spanish forces. The advices state that
the insurgents under General Garcia
and Colonel Torres, numbering be
tween 5,000 and 6,000 men, attacked
both of the seaports simultaneously,
but met with stubborn resistance.
The demonstration against Banes,
which is less than ten leagues distant
from Gibra on the north coast, was
merely a feint by the rebels to divert
attention and draw the Spanish forces
from Gibra, which was the point really
to be attacked. The ruse was partially
successful and Garcia, with his forces,
entered Gibra. Ilis success, however,
was of only short duration, as he was
subsequently driven out after a hot
light, during which many were killed
and wounded on both sides.
Colonel Machedo of the famous ten
years’ war says: “General Gomez has
planned his summer campaign and put
it in operation. Already columns of
thousands of well armed men under
etlicient leaders have been distributed
throughout Matanzas, Havana, and
other provinces.”
