nothing exciting about the last hours
of tW eighth aiuiual convention 01 tue
ational League of Republican clubs.
The resolutions which have been pub
lic property for some time were
adopted without preface by their In
troducers, or parley on tue pari. 01 those for whose consideration they were
introduced. No roll call was Had 011
their iidontion. and a lusty chorus
of vens usianist one or two lone
some nays showed that It was almost
the unanimous sense of the Conven
tion that it had no power to proclaim its preference for gold or silver, fur protection or free trade, or for any candidate who is pushing his claims
for recognition before tho otlleial tribunal of the party, tobe held in lS'Jti. Whether this will prove a precedent for future conventions 'i the league remains to be seen. It is certain that
it is an innovation, and that the most conservative men in the party think it u wise one.
The silver men are satisfied with the
outcome, and decided betöre yester
day's convention Wgnn to make nn
outcry. They were heard, and fully
heard, in committee, and assert that
the result shows a sentiment m favor of bimetallism that will spread to the national Convention next year. The
more radical of them hope for tree silver, but all would be more than pleased with any sort of a plank which favors the white metal, whether that
plank fixes their favorite ratio or not
Once installed, tliey believe, tne
double standard would rapidly gain iu
favor.
There was no discordant vote in the
bi! 'utliL-rlmr which was dissolved
yesterday, a little after noon. Many
made for the sake of
harmony, and it appeared to be the wish of the body that it go on record
before the world as united on all points at issue, whatever differences might
exist beneath the surface. As no platform was adopted ex
pressing an opinion on the great ques
tions of the day, the drift of sentiment
could only W gathered from the sneakers. With the exception of the
lC-to-1 men, and these were very can
tious in expressing a deemed preier-
ence ou tne currency question, none
of the presidential candidates came to
the convention.
Mr. McKinley arrived last night

but he excused himself on the ground of other engagements.
Thomas B. Beed was Invited, but
declined, and Senator Allison did the
same. Maine was one of the three states not ofiicially represented at the convention, and the enemies of Mr.
Beed are pointing to this fact with much glee. The other two states
were New Hampshire and North Car
olina. Both of these states were un
officially represented, but the state of James G. Bluloc was not represented
in any way whatever. With Gen. McAlpin as president and 11. J. Howling, of Minnesota, as secre
tary, the delegates feel that they have officered the league with a view to the best result in the work of the next year. No treasurer was chosen. His selection was left to the cxecutivr committee.

Since your correspondent's lust communication tlie only important events that have w eurred were the burning of the slimmer resort Cuublta, and the publication of a proclamation by the general-in-chief. Cniibitn, three miles from this city, und the first station on tho Amerieaii railroad, is a beautiful country place with balmy air, excellent spring water and a good river, where many
families have built handsome and
costly summer residences.
On Saturday night, the loth uist.
about 10 o'clock, it was visited by a band'of forty rebels, who set fire to
the village and killed five residents, and wounded two. The lire destroyed as many as twenty-two houses, leav
ing only ten or twelve, which were saved presumably by chance. Tho
Humes could he distinctly seen from this city.
When the Guerrilla, which wa a
short distance. away, arrived, tue
rebels had already left.
The proclamation (a copy of w tii-o

Ith inst., caused the greatest excite
ment among the inhabitants.
As soon as it became known, two or
three of tho consuls visited the general for an explanation, and the answer was that it was not intended for this citv and that there was a mistake
in the printing. It is thought that the visit of the consuls caused the general to change his plan, as he gave orders to recall the proclamation, ami
issued another somewhat modifying the first orders.
It is said here that the first was sent
out at the instigation of the members of the Spanish club, the members of
which were angry at the killing of tho Spaniards in Cuabita. Gen. Saleedo is is constantly in the club house und tho members have great inlluence over him. Everyone here believes that even the second proclamation will tk the source of many abuses on the part of the Spaniards towards the unfortunate country lwople. as they will be the victims of many personal revenges. It is Itelieved that the era of bloodshed will soon begin, the same as in the last war. In fact, the more excitable Spaniards declare that such will be the ease.
