Jacksonville, Fin., May 26.? A on blegram /to The Times-Union from Key West, Fla., says: A private letter received In thin city states that the report of Martl'n death Is not credited. The writer of the letter visited the family of Marti on the 21th and was Informed they had pond reasons to believe the report was false, Passen gers by the steamship Maseotto last night, however, state that the report Is believed In Havana. I^a iAicha, of the 23rd, published a letter from Mar tl's wife requesting that she be allow ed to view the body of her husband. The request was refused by Gen. Ar derlus, Governor General of Havana. The steamship Mexico arrived at Havana on the 24th from Glbara with one captain, two lieutenants and ten Holdings badly wounded. They were prohibited from carrying any mall. Rojo. the assassin of Flor Crombet, was captured by Antonio Maceo and hanged. Jt Is reported In Havana that a serious uprising Is expeeted momen tarily In Puerto Principe which will be led by a prominent Cuban of the last revolution, Ramon Herrera, pres ident of the reform party and colonel of the fifteenth regiment of volun teers, refused to allow any <of the regiment to go Into the field. A party of young men at Santiago <(e Cuba finding it Impossible to Join the In surgents on account of the guard placed over them by the Spanish au? thorilies conceived the Idea of a funer al procession. They filled coffins with arms and ammunition, marched to the cemetery, three or four miles Into tho country and left from there, tak ing arms, etc., from the coffins. The Socialist party have gone ovet to the insurgents and will issue a manifesto to that effect In a few clays. Archive Soclxal, the official organ of the Socialists published at Havana, has been suppressed by the govern ment. The general belief is that San gullly will be deported. Reports from the field states that the Spanish troops lost heavily at tho battle of Jovito. The towns of Matanzas and Clcn Fuegos are almost deserted. Many families are leaving the towns and going into the country. l^olo RIentz, the noted bandit and a colonel hi the Spanish army, has gone to the field, notwltstandlng a protest of the Spanish officers. The train carrying Gen. Salcedo and start was derailed. Salcedo's escape was miraculous. The government has purchased twelve hundred horses for the use of calvary In Santa Clara and Puerto Principe. fOMocmoNS uv itai/t. Prime Mlnlnfpr Crlnpl Vf in n?fn \ 1lc-fl?e(ed. Homo, May 20. ?

Hie arch enemies of the agricultural anil producing daises of our country moved l>y greed and encouraged by avarice, have conspired to transfer iho essentially Gov ernmental function of issuing and ion trolling tho money volume of Die nation to a system of hanking corporations, full of vice of class legislation and void of any virtue which commends It to the consideration of a patriotic citizen. Un daunted by tho failure to secure tho sanction of tho American Congress, the promoters of this nefarious scheme have holdly taken tho inlMatiory step to at'ain tho object of tholr conspiracy. Hacked by tho great power of exhaust less wealth, and the Influeneo of high otllelal position, "they have publicly converted In the city of Memphis and openly declared their purpose. They demand that the constitutional and Inherently sov? rel?tn right to Issue money bo delivered into tt.elr hands They hesitate at no decep tion; they scruplo at no fraud. Knowing tho innate Integrity of our i>eoplc they prate of "honest money." Appreciating our aversion >to paternalism they say the "Ooveimment must go out of the bank ing business." They hope and l>ollevo that wo will not J'top to consider that to ex act a dollar, which by vicious legislation they have made to cost the debtor twice ns much lalx>r and double tho amount <>f produce as the one premlfvd Is not 'hon est They expect Iho American people to ac cept as true the statement that the money of tho Constitution, established by tho fathers, is dishonest for no other reason save tho dictate of. their Illustrious ac complice* and plastic tools. They hope that tho people will ignorantly confound tho sovereign prerogative and the hound on duty of tho ("Jovcrnmeirt to coin money ami establish a system of uniform weights nn?l measures, with tho business of loans and discounts Inherently appro priate to the acceptation of the private citizen. They think that we will forget that the true question Is not "whether tho (lowrnment shall go out of the bank ing business," but "whether the banks shall go out of the governing business." Thus they doeign by the aid of publle apathy to rivet the chains which will make free men slaves. To the end that their hopes may meet with disappointment and their conspiracy with failure that tho toillftjr masses of our people may bo saved from an indus trial serfdom more cruel and degrading than chattel slavery, something must be done to meet their cunningly directed and insiduous assaults. Eternal vigilance Is tho price of liberty. Our foe Is unscru pulous, his greatest victory was achieved ! by stealthy and corrupt legerdemain, dls I graceful to the man who planned it nnd discreditable to the people's representative who failed to detect it. Tho crime of 187.1 cannot be explained upon any other hypothesis. That tho people may com?> together and take counsel of each other It .has been deemed expedient to call to gether a convention to assemble at Mem phis on the 12th and 13th days of June. 1R!>5. Kvery community, every city and town and every Rtate In tho Union are earnestly requested and cordially Invited to send delegates to that convention.

It was a good nature*! crowd to I wot. For once factions and feud* were for gotten and they shouted and shonbvl and veiled to its hearts eontent as il recognizivd one after another of the prcviniiHMit figure* in the polities of the party. The enthusiasm over Sherman and Foraker was uneontrolla'lile l?y the temporary chairman, .1 . <?.

Warm greetings were also given to Ills naming of McKlnley as Ohio's Presidential canflldate and For aker as lier next senator. A night session was agreed upon, the usual committees were appointed and tin? convention took recess until 8 p. m. The convention reassembled prompt ly. ,j By resolutions It was decided that no delegation should be allowed to change its vote until the final result of the ballot had been announced, a new departure intended to prevent stampeding.

A good iiianny peoplo who desire bet ter legislation are of the opinion that an cnlargiMiieiit of tin* State Somite will improve the clihraetcr of ilogislalion, since, with a larger. <Sen?te, it will not be iu the power of two or thr<K> men, by using their votes as a balance ?>f power, to pass or defeat bills. In a Senate of thirty-two ttieinlH-rs two or threo iihmi of palpably (bad character have. indeed, had great power, and, as a general thing, it may 1>e said that there have been more evidence* of cor ruption iu the Se.ua to with its small membership than in the assembly, with its largo momltorship of 1UK men.

Karly this morning a mob which hafi been in possession of Vermilion county's Jail for several hours succeeded in locating John Hall, Jr.. and Wm. Royce in dholr cells took them outside and hanged them for assaulting Mis* I^aura Harnett. From midnight, when the crowd first made its appearance at the Jail doors, until the victims were reached It was a determined, desperate strug gle of a frenzied moh to mete num mary justice battling against the heavy oaken floors and iron bars and occasionally halted by the Arm stand of a little band of defenders of law and order under the command of Sheriff Thompson. After repeated ^ef forts to break down the other Jail door with a telephone pole the crowd for a moment desisted in their efforts to break Into the Jail. Kdward Mcf'usker stood on the Jail steps anil addressed the mob, beg ging tln-m to desist. They laughed him down. Sheriff Thompson, lils wife nnd De puty Sheriff James Sloan also be sought the mob to disperse. F. V. Harnett, the -father of the Injured girl, said to Mrs. Thompson, "Madam, you never had a daughter Assaulted, and her blood demands vcgeance." Ills reply was wildly ap plauded . At 2 o'clock Sheriff Thompson sent for Judge Hookwalter of the Circuit Court, who addressed the crowd from the Jail corridors. He made an earn est plea to let the lAw take its course. He assured the men that Hall and Royce would receive a severe punish ment if found guilty, that the Jury would do Its duty. liut the rioters who were among the most prominent men in the coun ty replied, "Yes, we know the Jury will convict them and give them a severe sentence, but Governor Alt geld will pardon them out. He re cently pardoned three brutCB sent up from Champaign county for twenty years, and he will pardon these men. If any other man than Altgeld was * Governor, we would not lynch these men. Hut we are determined he will never have a chance to turK" them loose. With this they again commenced work. Sheriff Thompson finding him self powerles to control the mob, tele graphed the Governor asking that the militia Ih? sent to his aid. At 3:15 the mob secured lx>th of the prisoners and started toward the bridge with ropes alK>ut their necks. They were hanged almost upon the scene of their crime. Trcmiarr D?Umcc?.

Ab sence from my ofllce prevented on rainier reply. Yours truly, JOHN OAKY IOVANB.Nv Senator Butler after Klvlng letter* from Messrs. I'ope & Caldwell, tho counsels In the cases referred to, to tho efTcot that he bad nothing to do with tho matters ap- > ponds tho following: I <lo not llko to bo misrepresented even by a blackguo.rd. Since my service In the Henate ended on tho 4th of March .lasr, t have been a private cltlr-en attend In^ to my own business and this man had no right to draw mo Into his scurrilous, aophomcrlc self-advertisement which lie styles an "Address to Fellow Citizens." lie appears to havo had me un<|?r th?? surveillance of ono of his dotoctives, who liavo become so fashionable under the late odious State administration and betrays himself Into th? utterance of a foolish falsehood. Tho truth Is, he Is badly af flicted with what <loetors call^"hydrose I*i alous,' commonly known as swell head. Me assails judges on tho bench with awkward vulgarity and brutal course.ness, Knowing them to lw> peace officers and as such non-comljatmts. This he can do with Impunity, but tho time may come n forbearance with Ids insolence may cease to be a virtue. Ills powers of dis crimination between right and wrong, truth and falsehood, fall* criticism and slander, are. savage and filmy that ho ought, perhaps, to lie regarded as an ob ject. of pity and contempt, rather t,han Indignation and rcsontment. When 1 set myself beforo tho pubftl&itfe a target, I can stand criticism Veil as most men, but I have no Idea of permit ting slanderers to follow me Into private life to Indulge their pernicious propensi ties. Another reason I have for troubling the public with this matter is that other members of tho ring have been clrculat Iiik slanders and misrepresentations about ms, on the line of Intending to create a false Impression In tho public mind and I avail myself of this opportunity to de nounce them. They aro trying by a hue and cry about "White supremacy" to frighten the timid intf , their clutches. There Is not the least danger of tti^^ie--^ Kroos gottlng control of tho (Government of this State or of while supremacy be ing endangered, and they know W. .Whatever of peril there Is ta white suprfc mary has boen created by "tlio ring now trying to drnjfoon while men Into con doning their jsornipt practices. They are roftf>orMiihlo ftfrthe menace of "negro su premacy" Ihoreils one, and no amount^ of bluster lyid fafse pretense can conceal It. They have' rejected ever/ fair, and honorable overture for reunltlng-itie white people and 'or ono I shall have nothing to do with any ring primary. If ? pri mary could bo hold on the plan of th^ " forty" there would be no objection to tf, but these fellows will not agree to that Immmum they see In It peace and goofl feeling? the last thing they want. | M.
