PINGREE, ALGER AND GOLD.
Republicans of Michigan Support g
Curious Combination.

Detroit, Mich, Sept Ex-Governor
Pingree was unanimously nominated
by reclamation this afternoon by the
Republican state convention. Many
members of his party who have not
heretofore been in accord with the gov
ernOr joined in the cheering when he
appeared and made a characteristic
speech of acceptance.
Dexter NJ. Ferry of Detroit, chairman
of the state central committee, called
the convention to order. He urged per
petuation by this convention of every
Republican principle. He said with
such platform and a ticket headed
by our war governor, with our own
General Alger having a part under
President Mckinley in the national adj
ministratiOn. the conditions are es-
pecially favorable for Republican vic
tory"
The chairman deplored criticism by
Republican newspapers Of the war de-
partment, which, he asserted, will be
used by demagogues of the other side
in the campaign.
Grant Fellows of Hudson, president
of the state league of Republican clubs,
was called to preside as temporary
chairman. He said: 1.-THE Republican
party in 1896 declared that it favored
the single gold standard and the people
approved this. Upon this question there
must be no backward steps The Re
publican party believes in a dollar
worth 100 cents, measured in gold. and
it is not afraid to proclaim this fact
Concerning the secretary of war Mr..
Fellows said: I'VE of Michigan have
confidence in the honesty, ability and
integrity of Russell A. Alger. We are
glad that he courts investigation and
we know that he will come out spot
less"
A contest from Marquette county oc-
cupied the committee on credentials
most of the afternoon. Meanwhile the
convention and crowd of spectators
from the galleries listened to addresses
by Webster Davis, assistant secretary
of the interior, eX-COngressman G'Don-
nell, who was to have been Pingree's
opponent, but had Withdrawn, and
others. 1t was late in the day before
the credential committee reported o.

the condition of Hon. Thomas F. Bay

but the gradual decline was not so
marked as during previous days, this

Especial 10 The Heraldl
Preside, San Francisco, Sept 21.-It
is rumored here that battery C, Utah
volunteers, will be sent to Angel island
to take station, instead Of remaining

to Manila and this will leave Angel
island without soldiers to garrison it.
1t is not definitely settled who will so

RECEPTION TO GARCIA.
Cuban Hero to Be Given An Ovation
at Santiago.


New York, Sept. 21.-A dispatch to
the World from Santiago, Cuba, says:
Calixto Garcia has arrived at Jiguani
on his way to Santiago. He will prob
ably go from here to the United States.
where his daughter is ill. He will come
to Palma Soranits today, reaching San
tiago tomorrow.
General Lawton intends to receive
General Garcia tomorrow as an hon
ored guest. As he now holds no official
position in the Cuban army he will be
treated by the American commander as
a distinguished private citizen and a
great soldier. General Wood will go to
the outside limits of the town to well
come the Cuban leader, and a guard of
honor will meet him and escort him
through the town to the palace, where
he will be met by General LawtOn. A
levee will be held, at which the var
ious American officials will be present
ed to Garcia.
The Cubans in the town, who are also
planning a reception, are greatly elat-
ed, contrasting General Lawton's ac-
tons with General Skaters.
In an interview General Lawton ex-
pressed himself as well satisfied with
the position of matters in the province
under his command. He secuted the
view OF the likelihood of any trouble
arising in connection with the Cuban
army, now practically in process of
disbandment

AGAINST ANNEXATION.

FL Porvenir publishes a bitter article
on the subject of annexation. Enrique
Trujillo, the editor, will say:
''The programme before the war, dur
ing the war and after peace was de-
clared has been one of invariable and
absolute independence of Cuba. Neither
now, before, nor after, have we been
anreXationists. Probably some I'M
lucky destiny like death may be
against US. but as men desire to pre-
serve life, so We protest against the
political suicide of annexation. During
the preliminary contest for the Cubans'
freedom the first solution suggested an
neXation, but this was never our ideal,
only our second resource.
''The southern states of America de-
sired to DerDetuate slavery, and for
this reason they desired to help the
project of Narciso Lopez. President
Lincoln ended this reason for annexa-
ton
