SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
New YORK, Sept. 2S.-It has been ascer-
tanned that Frederick Tomkins, a member
of the last Republican State Committee,
was represented at the committees meet
ing at Saratoga on Sept. 20 by Ira NJ.
Hedges, who had no authority to act for
Tomkins. The following is An extract
from a letter written by Tomkins con-
corning the matter: What authority
Hedges may have shown to the committee,
or what particular trick he adopted to in
duce it to allow him to ~misrepresent me
on that occasion, l have not yet learned.
Perhaps he may also have had one Of
those Administrator kilograms, which l
fear will prove costly dispatches for Judge
Folger.
Advices.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-Advices from
Panama give the following Central and
South American news; The earthquake
killed only four persons on the Isthmus.
One died from fright. The damage
to property was not as great as at first re-
ported.
Guerrill.s are destroying the houses and
crops of the Peruyians who afforded aid to
the Chilians.
The American schooner Transit, re-
ported seized at Cape Gracious-a-Dios
Nicaragua, was captured by the Revolu-
t~ionists, who hoped that they could thus
capture San Juan Del Norte, generally
called Greytown. A man named Emf
liand Herrera seized the town and de-
clared himself chief Of the Provisional
Government Of the Atlantic Coast, and
under his authorization the schooner
Transit was seized. She was subsequently
recaptured by Captain Thompson and his
men, and the rebels were carried to Blue
field, Nicaragua, and delivered to the
United States Consul. After the Transit
left Cape Gracious-a-Dio the p~opulace rose
against the rebels, seized them and exc
cuted Emiliand Herrera and Miguel Cri-
era, and thus peace was at once restored.
The Consul took the prisoners delivered
to him by Captain Thompson to Georgetown
and turned them over to the Nicaraguan
Governor of that port, who in turn sent
them to Granada, where they are now il
prison awaiting trial.
StoHeEnan y
New YORK, Sept. ga Washington
special says one of the first acts of Gen.
Sherman yesterday, as Acting Secretary of
War, was to sign the acceptance of the
resignation of Gen. Stoneman as Colonel
on the retired list Of the army. Stoneman
is the Democratic candidate for Governor
Of California, and is a man of wealth. He
is largely engaged in agricultural enter
prises, and has an income of 49, 900 or
$4,000 a year. He can therefore afford to
relinquish SO, 800, which he receives as q
retired Colonel. But such an act is al
most unprecedented. General Stoneman
graduated from the military academy in
AS, and has been an officer Of the army
continuously to the present time. At the
outbreak Of the war he was a Major in the
First Cavalry. He became a Brigadier
General OF Volunteers in August, 1861,
and a Major General the following year
He served with distinction as a general
officer during the rebellion. and at the
close Of the war became q Colonel Of the
Twenty-frst Infantry. He retired on &C.
