It is true the people are suffering under conditions not produced bv any act at the democratic party, yet they hold It responsible, and the result has been a stunning defeat in the late election. The most humiliating fact Is that the gentlemen who lately assembled here, claiming to reprtientatives of the democratic party refused to await the result of the cratlc policies upon the Interests of -the opuhtry; They proceeded to call a convention, which will meet at least a year before the party In the state will 'have occasion 'Co act effectively, for -the purpose, as ttiey avow, of committing the party to free and.

I answer no. All democrats, so far as I know their views, are anxious to extend the usefulness of silver as a money metal.

Some believe free coinage on the present ratio would bring about this Another class do not believe it They want a dollar of silver to be made tne standard of value and legal tender. If they believed free coinage of silver would produce a dollar of equal usefulness as a gold dollar they would not care for the free coinage of silver. They care nothing about the disturbance In values which free coinage would certainly produce; they will take part In the convention, but the great body of democratic party, men who believe the party represents in the highest degree devotion to constitutional liberty and protection- of Individual' rights under Just maintenance of public and, private credit on the basis existing valtiss or as values may be affected by business changes and conditions, will take no part In the convention called by the committee. These men will unite and preserve democratic 'organization. They will neither be transferred by the silver party nor be driven out of the democratic Party by the action of a convention avowedly called by a state committee to sanction the abandonment of democratic principles.

Is excited over what appears to be a suicide and murder.

Mrs. George Windlsch, about 50 yearsof age, was found dead to-day In a clothes etoset in the second story of her home. There were wounds on the foead and the skull had been fractured. Near the body was found a bloody chisel and on the floor of the room several pieces of clothing satll- ii i blood Tne were identified as having belonged to tne woman's husbnnrt who Is missing. It is supposed the murder occurred last Thursday night, as the couple had not been seen since.

Their three children remained In the house, but could give no satisfactory answers as to the whereabouts of their parents. A senrch was made to-day and the 'body found. It has generally known that t'he couple's married life was unpleasant, and the neich- borfl assert that Windlsch had recently threatened to kill his wife. This theory supported by statement that two months ago Wlndlnch tried to raise money on his property, stating that he was going to leave his wife, causes suspicion to rest on him. There Is no clew as to his whereabouts.

Simms iired 117 shots and offered to give 'himself up if the Heutenant would consent not to kill him This was agreed to and he gave up his revolver and came down. A mob gathered on the outside end wanted to lynch him at once, but the- officer hustled him off to Jail. As soon as the affair became noised about a- crowd gathered at the jail and threats of lynching were frequent Finally it was announced that Uimrns would be taken to the county jail for safe keeping but instead the sheriff put him aboSrd a trnln for St. Augustine, where he was placed in Jail. Had he remained nothing would have saved him from lynchhir except state troops, so intense Is the feeling against him.

The Spanish crutew Sanches Borafastegul entered the harbor here yesterday and left to-day. She is hovering along the coast.

The utmost vigilance is exercised by the government to prevent the landing in Cuba ot the reba leaders who are In other parts, The government especially and definitely desires to Intercept whom the ofilclals profess to believe has not effected a landing on Cuban soil. There-is private information in this city, however, that Maceo Is now on the Inland and that other leaders will come later. This Cuban negro Maceo, a veteran of the rebellion, is said to be an able man, a shrewd, tactician in the" chaparral and undoubtedly brave. He is to the official house, here the big man of the in- All -the, movements of the rebels make plain. that the plan announced in these dispatches as the one laid out by their leaders Is being consistently followed.

VVhy don't the rebels pitch in and do something before all ihjs Spanish troops reach here?" IB a question asked of the rebels here. The answer Is that.whlfi engaging forces now here- the rebels would suffer losses not to rapidly mended, and 'upon this weakened force would be.constantly coming more fresh troops from Spain. "Lot Spain get here all she intends to- send and then we will play hide and seek with them until, aided by climatic conditions, we can combine aril our forces and strike a decisive blow at sickening and- cllmate-worn -forces of Spain," That Is about the reply that the insurrectionist would make to criticism as to their lack'of aggressive activity.

The encounter occurred near the city nnd only 680 of t'he -1000 troops returned. Three hundred and twenty were killed, wounded or captured by the rebels. No news of this engagement had been given out by the Havana authorities up to Saturday last, nor was It referred to by arriving Insurgents. A Ci'bnn from the ei'stern end of the Island, who is in close connection with occurrences In the disturbed district and who Is advised of the plan of the rebel leader. In whose behalf -he journeys, slates that Jlaeeo and his parti- are much larger is believed.

He says the schooner Honroa, which landed the party, was filled with nrm.H and ammunition. Cubans make the statement that Maceo ilncl his partv landed on -March 27 Instead of the 31st as given out by the government officials at Havana. Captain Perlqulto Perez has also Joined the Cuban cause. He is a nephew of the Spanish general known as "the Tiger" Three hundred Spanish troops endeavored to prevent Maceo's landing, but his comrades were numerous enoug'h to withstand the troops.
