NEW YORK CONVENTION.
The Democrats of That State VIII En-
dorse abe Chicago Conventions.


dorse abe Chicago Convention
BUFFALO, Sept. l6.-It looks like
state convention now, and the arrival OF
the Tammany delegation has done more
TO bring into view old convention faces
than anything that has happened.
There was every evidence of rise of
friction that would make the Democratic
state convention at least interesting. but
as the time wore on and the Iammany
delegation arrived in town, every little
controversy that had arisen was
smcothed over. and il became more tnan
ever evident that the convention was TO
be dominated by the great political or
ganization from New York.
MIR iiinkiey has arrived and an
nounced that the selections of Elliott
Danforth, the New York member of the
Bryan and Sewan notification commit
tee, for state chairman, and Frank >.
Campbell for national committeeman
Were favorable to Mr.. Hill.
The changes in the program during
the afternoon and evening, and after
the arrival of the majority OF the dele
gates, was not many. 1t Is said that III
addition to consulting Senator Hill as
to the makeup of the state organization
leader Bernard Yarka of Kings county
had a conference with him regarding
the lieutenant governorshlp.
The ticket as selected is as follows:
For governor, John Boyd Thacher of
Albany lieutenant governor, General
Isaaac Catlin of Brooklyn chairman of
the state committee, vice Major James
W, Hinklev, retired, Elliott DanfOrth
of Chenango county for national com
mittee. vice William L. Sheehan, re-
signed, Frank Campbell of Bath; tenn
porary chairman, Thomas L, Grady of
New York; permanent chairman, d.
II. Rockwell of Chemung.
The platform will endorse the Chi
cago national ticket and platform will
arraign the last Republican legislature
as the most extravagant III the history
of the state; will say that the Raines
liquor law was purely for the creation
of a vast Republican machine, and to
assist in reducing at the expense of a
class the tax rate of the state which
would otherwise have been the largest
in the history of the state, and plank
favoring the enactment of more strln-
gent laws regarding trusts.

Three Vessels with Men and Arms
Now En- Route to Cuba.

Philadelphia, June 19.-The Record to-
day says the three largest and most for
midable hlibustering expeditions that have
ever left the United States are now on
their way to the coast of Cuba, and all
have thus far escaped the vigilant gov
ernment officials and Spaniards, who have
been watching for them and their many
passengers and large cargoes Of ammuni-
tion dynamite, guns and other war ma
teHials. These vessels are the steamers
Three Friends from Jacksonviile, Com
mOdore from Charleston, 5. c., and the
schooner Stanbury from Port Tampa,
Fla. The two former vessels have left
within the last forty-eight hours and the
Stanbury sailed Tuesday. All cleared as
coastwise vessels, and, 1t is expected, if
not caught by the Spanish gunboats now
on watch, they will arrive at their ult-
mate destinations minus passengers and
cargoes Gen. Francesca Leyte Vidal
veteran of the last Cuban war, has charge
of the military expedition on the Three
Friends. He is a native of Magari, Cuba.
Col. Nunez of this city is believed to have
charge of the expedition on the Commo
dore The Stanbury is a small schooner,
Slowed in her hull is a cargo consisting
of 500 tons of ammunition. Fearing the
fate of her consOrt, the Competitor the
Stanbury will approach the coast of
Cuba where things are less warlike, leaV-
ing the western end of the island to the
steam vessels.
1t was stated late this afternoon that
united states commissioner Bell ndQ Is
sued warrants for the arrest of Capt.
Dickman of the steamer Laurada and Col.
Emilio Nunez the Cuban leader charging
them with conducting a filbustering ex-
pedition to Cuba on that vessel. Capt.
Dickman is said to be in Philadelphia,
but he has not yet been apprehended This
is the second warrant that has recently
been issued for Col. Nunez in this connec-
tion, and his whereabouts are not known.
The Laurada arrived here a few days
ago from a southern trip, and it was on
this voyage that the offense is alleged to
have been committed.
Later in the afternoon Capt. Dickman
was arrested in the office of John D. Hart
and at preliminary hearing before Unit
ed States Commissioner Bell was held in
81 600 bail for a further hearing on June
"a Bail was furnished and Capt. Dickman
was released No evidence was offered at
the hearing to-day, and it is understood
that the principal witnesses against Capt.
Dickman will be members of the crew of
the Laurada. There is little likelihood of
the warrant issued for Col Nunez being
served now, as it is more than probable
he is on his way to Cuba on a flibuster
which sailed recently.

numbering 800 men, had an engagement

The rebels fed without destroying the

Gov. Evans of South Carolina, yielding
to the persuasions Of the condemned mans
counsel, granted a reprieve, and this re-

ENGLAND AND VENEZUELA.
No New Developments in the Three
Sided Controversy.

London, June 1S-In the House of
Commons to-day George n. Curzon. un-
der foreign secretary, stated that Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the British ambas-
sador at Washington, had been authorlz-
ed to receive and report any proposals
that might be made to him by the rep
resentative Of Venezuela I'm Washington
in regard to the Venezuelan boundary
dispute. The representative Of Vene-
zuela in Washington had been so inform
ed, but so far, Mr. Curzon said, he had
not made any proposals.
The negotiations between Great Brit
ain and the United States, Mr. Curzou
continued, were in progress for an agree
ment upon a treaty of arbitration. With
reference to the frontier question he
said the fact that the government had
failed 10 settle the difficulty with Vene-
zuela had not offered any obstacle m
the way Of the conclusion of a general
arrangement respecting arbitration,
which the government hoped to see COM
pleted.
The foreign office officials deny the truth
of the report that a conflict has taken
place between Venezuelans and British at
Port Barima, in the disputed territory Of
Guiana. The foreign office Is not inform
ed that there has been any trouble In the
disputed territory whatever.
