M. FLOQUET IS DEAD. Usd Hecn French Minister of the Interior And Frcstdent of the Council. Paris, Jan. 20.—M. Charles Floquet, formerly president of tlie council of ministers, minister of the interior and president of the chamber of deputies, died at noon Saturday. Ail of the mem-

M. FLOQUET.

bers of the present ministry visited him before he died. [Charles Thomas Floquet was born at Saint Jean de Luz October 6. 1S2S. He studied at the College St. Louis, was called to the bar In 1851 and Immediately gained great success in political cases of Importance. In February, 1871, Floquet was elected representative of the Seine In the national assembly, but soon resigned because of press criticisms of his alleged relations with the commune. The following April he was elected to the municipal council, and again In 1871 and In 1876 he was successful in obtaining a scat in the second chamber after a brilliant. sensational campaign. Floquet was one of the famous 363 deputies who refused a vote of confidence In the ministry of M. de Broglie. On the fall of M. Ferry from power, and the accession of M. Brisscn, M. Floquet was chosen to succeed the latter as president of the chamber. Floquet was variously accused of having cried to Czar Alexander II. of Kussia while that ruler was the guest of Emperor Napoleon III., "Vive la Polonge, Monsieur," and was accordingly listed In the Russian black list until 1888, when a formal reconciliation took place. In July, 1888, Floquet fought a duel with Gen. Boulanger ] WEYLER SUCCEEDS CAMPOS. lie Is Expected to Adopt Severe Measures Toward Insurgents. Havana, Jan. 20.—The civil governor of the province of Havana, through liis secretary, Bonor Francisco Calvo Munez, anil tlie chief of the treasury department, Senor Miguel Cabez.es, admitted lute Saturday afternoon that they have received cable messages from Madrid announcing that a successor to Marshal Martinez de Campos will be appointed in the person of Gen. Yaleriano Weyler, and that they are to expect his arrival shortly at Havana to assume tlie duties of governor general of Cuba and gi neral in chief of the Spanish forces in the Island of Culm. Gen. Campos on Saturday bade farewell to the acting captain general, Gen. Marin, and to the chief officers of the soldiers, volunteers and firemen. The Cubans regret the departure of Campos. Bis campaign was most humane. Be would not confiscate property and granted amnesty upon the surrender of the rebels. He treated suspects leniently, especially Americans. The retirement of Campos is the result of agitation among tlie merchants of the produce exchange. The Cubans say the removal of Campos, Spain's ablest general, is a victory, and will convince the world that a genuine revolution is in progress. They hope it will aid in obtaining recognition for the be Uigur cuts at Washington. Madrid, Jan. 20.—The consensus of opinion here is that the superseding of Gen. Martinez Campos in command of the Spanish forces in Cuba, will greatly improve the situation there. The military journals censure Gen. Martinez Campos and declare that his splitting up his 100,000 followers into small sections to protect rural property lias been the chief cause of the extension of Hie Cuban revolt. GOES TO CHICAGO. Democratic National Convention Mecta In the Lake City .July 7. Washington, Jan. 17.—Thedemocraic national convention will be held at Chicago on July 7. Such was the decision reached on the 29th ballot by the national committee Thursday, after a spirited contest in w hich Chicago won by a bare majority, with St. Louis only two votes behind. It was practically a light between the free silver foreea on one hand and tlie hard money men on the other. Tlie vote which Chicago received was, as Mr. Smalley, of Vermont, expressed it, “a natural one,” inasmuch as it was cast by the states lying within the group known ns the middle-west and the east. St. Louis’ vote might also be culled equally natural, since it came mainly from the southwest and tlie west. Spiiin'M ItiK Job. Havana, Jan. 18.—The war is costing Spain $6,000,000 a month for the maintenance of the army alone. From tlie outbreak, February 24, 1895, until January 1. 1896, the cost amounted to $85,000,000, according to figures published by La Discussion, here. The loss, owing to tlie burning of crops, towns and destruction of railroad property cannot be calculated until the smoke clears away. The Cubans, without recognition ns belligerents, are a long way from obtaining freedom for Cuba, but Spain, on tlie otlier hand, seems to be a long way from crushing out the trouble.

Dinner to Diplomittft. Washington, Jan. 17.—President and Mrs. Cleveland gave their annual dinner to the members of the diplomatic corps tit the white house Thursday night.
