Havana, Cuba, i— Gen. Castillo,
ibe commander of the insurgents in
Havana province, has sent tne follow-
ing letter to Mr. Sleeper, tne Ameri-
can c.iarge d'affaires h?re:
"la view of the letter of the presi-
dent of the United States to the Pal-
ma government, 1 have the honor to
inform you that we are disposed to
suspend hostilities in order to facili-
tate peace efforts provided tnese are
based on new general elections and
with guarantees of justice and legal-
ity and on the resignation of the pres-
ent forced administration, and guar-
antee tnat the peace be lasting. Tao
revolutionists do not intend to per-
mit government by force. They insist
that tne people possess the inviolable
right of electing congress and pro-
vincial and municipal officers. We
have no candidates, but we Bhall nev-
er permit elections manipulated hy
executive fraud and violence to stand.
If through the meditation of Mr. Roose-
velt's government and a fair construc-
tion of the laws honest elections en-
sue, tae people who are in arms will
suspend operations as soon as you se-
cure a similar disposition on the part
of Palma. Witn other interests and
iespectlng the majesty of tae govern-
ment, we sincerely hope for a peace
that shall cement justice and honesty
througn the arbitration of the presi-
dent of the United States.’’

Denver. Colo. — After three days
of strenuous sessions .pernaps tho
most lively and in some particulars
the most extraordinary ever witnessed
by democrats of Colorado, the demo-
cratic state convenlon Thursday night
adjourned sine die. A complete ticket
was named, Alva Adams of Pueblo
county being tue choice for governor.
The action of the convention wmch
is considered a by all concerned as the
most moment us was the reading out
of the party of the Speer faction ot
Denver county because of their al-
leged subserviency to local untility cor-
porations. The debate on this mat-
ter lasted nearly a whole day and the
matter was before the credentials
committee of tae convention for near-
ly an entire night. The renomination
of Alva Adams was demanded in the
platform and was practically unop-
posed because of the general opinion
among democrats that he should be
vindicated in his claim that he was
robbed of tho governorship two years
ago in the Peabody-Adams contest be-
fore the state legislature. The plat-
form of the convention t endorsed
Bryan and took a decisive stand
against corporation domination of po-
litical parties and pledged the demo-
cracy of the state to the enactment
of a law making it a felony for offi-
cials of corporations to contribute to
campaign funds.

Rialto Crain company of St Louis,

other opportunity to present the caso,
and says in part:
"Believing that the trial in the court
below was not a fair one .and that the
verdict rests on evidence not techni-
cally but substantially improper, evi-
dence which removed the case from
the region of fact to the realm of sus-
j’leitn, and believing also that evi-
dence was exclud -d which alone could
meet and rebut the evidence wrong-
fully decided., we earnestly pray for a
rehearing.”

Washington, D. C. — In the man-
ufacture of alcohol from corn coba
and corn stalks, at small cost, the
department of agriculture is develop-
ing a new Industry that Cue depart-
ment says is likely to l>e of a largs
commercial value. Investigations
which the department Is making at
Iloopeston, III., have proved that the
large quantities of coni cobs which
every year heretofore have gone to
waste can lie converted Into alcohol
In sufficient quantities to Justify the
erection of a distilling plant In con-
nection with a eorn canrery.
The department of agriculture sent
two chemists to Iloopeston to make
experiments at a large cannery there.
They have succeeded by simple meth-
ods, In getting six gallons of alcohol
from a ton of gre-n corn stalks. A
statement concerning the experiments
by one of the scientists of the depart-
ment reads:
"At different times during the past
25 years the department has con-
ducted experiments along the same
line, but with common field ®>rn
stalks. These tests show that there
are 24 pounds of fermentable sub-
stance in a ton of green field corn
stalks which will yield atout half of
their weight in absolute alcohol. In
round numbers, a ton of stalks will
produce 100 pounds of alcohol or 200
