 NEW YORK, Sept. S.-The news that the Spanish government had chartered seven vessels to be used in transporting troops to Cuba was brought to the at tention of Fidel G. Pierra of the execu- tive committee of the Cuban junta in this city today. It is reported that the vessels chartered are the Cufic of the White Star line, the Gallia, the Pegu of the Glasgow line. the Lord Give and the Cough, late of the American line, the Monteyideo of the Spanish trans atlantic line, and the Colon of the Pa eitic mail line. It is said that by these transported the Spanish government in tends to land 10000 men month in Cuba. Only one of these vessels, the Montevtdeo sails under the Spanish flag. Mir Pierra said
 "They are afraid to carry their troops Ill their own vessels. They know that the Cubans won d think twice before blowing up boat sail ing under Q foreign flag and that we would not hesitate for a moment to blow up $ Syanish vessel do not see any other reason why they should char ter these vessels, for the Spanish trans porsatlon company has enough boats to carry all their troops to Cuba, and would be glad of the opportunity of making the money. Then Spain is very intimate with the transportation com pany and their vessels ought certainly to receive the preference.
 They expect to send 10000 men tc Cuba and at the rate of 10000 month, le will take them until December to do 50. By the time they get the last l0,- ooO there the first 10000 will have dis appeared, and more perhaps. I do not thlnk they will send as many as 40, COG men, although they need them to replace those Shat have already died We here III the United States do not know the number of sick men they have who, ii tney recover. will never be worth any shing to themselves or any one else. but We have an idea of the enormous mum.

ORANGE COUNTY.
Citizens Object to Sharp Political Ad-
vertising-General News.

SANTA ANA, Sept. H. There is
some Indignation here among silver
men as to the methods used in adver-
tising and engineering the late effort
of Will A. Harris in this city.
There were many who thought that
"the silver tongued orator." Che was SO
advertised). who came to speak on the
financial question:" would surely han
die 1t from silver point of view. No
mention was made Of the auspices un-
der which the gentleman was to appear.
Mr.. Geo. Huntingdon chairman of the
Mckinley club. invited Mr.. Harris here
ostensibly to make Republican speech.
On the evening of the occasion Mr..
Huntington invited members of silver
clubs to seats on the platform, among
whom were Mr.. Booty, chairman Of the
local Bryan club, and Mr.. Carlile, chair
man of like club at Westminster
By some method of political hypnot-
ism Mr.. Car1ile was induced to intro
duce the speaker. Mr. Huntingdon re-
tiring and becoming one of the audience,
leaving the meeting apparently in
charge of the silverites.
Whether Mr.. Huntingdon lacked DO
lttical courage to back the man he in
duced to come here, or whether he de-
liberately planned this method to try
and put the silver men In a ridiculous
position, are questions answerable by
himself and perhaps a few others Of
his political brotherhood, but one thing
Is an assured fact: In the opinion of
honest men, Mr.. Huntingdon has by
his act added nothing to his reputation
for political honesty or gentlemanly
courtesy toward his political opponents.
