Blow to Republican Machine.

The defeat of Henry Brautlgam for
State Senator is a blow to the Republic
can machine, from which it will not re-
cover in long time. Mr.. Brautigam,
many Republicans claim, showed very ut
tie strength. AT the same time there IS
a movement afoot to enter him for the
Mayoralty nomination next spring. Had
Mr. Brautigam made better showing
against Allan L. NcDermott no one
would have had ghost of a show against
him for the Mayoralty. AS matters
stand at present he will have opposition
for the nomination, and if nominated, he
will be knitted from one end of the city
to the other by his own people. This
contest has caused splits in the Republi-
can party which viii take years to heal.
No matter whom the machine men name
for an office the McEwanites will be
against him. John Landrine, too, will be
a factor in the Republican party work.
and unless considered by the machine,
will cause no end of trouble. Leader
Davis, this morning, said:-
.T knew Henry Brautigam would be
beaten, but / must admit that I had no
idea the city would go so far against
him. He was beaten in his own ward.
That convinces me his strength is not
what the Republicans imagined. The fact
of the city going SO largely Democratic
is a tribute to Mayor Hoos. His admins
tration of public affairs pleases the people
and there is no reason why it should
not. Under his supervision our city is
being greatly benefited. Property own
ers know 1t. Everyone understood that
11r rifpof nm 70
as a Mayoralty candidate. His defeat,
| should think, would cause him to seek
the retirement he said he desired after
he left the Finance Board. Mayor Hoos
should be very happy. 1t should encour-
age him to keep up the good work and
show that he appreciates the confidence
that property owners have in him. The
city will remain Democratic just so long
as the present business like method Of
conducting its affairs is kept up

Battleship Texas Arrives In New Yor

BattleshIp Texas Arrives In New York
Observation-Disclosures Welcomed.
NEW YORK, Aug. Back from the
coast of Cuba. battle-scarred and pow
der-stained and punctured in spots,
with her formidable guns bristling in
the sunlight and her officers and crew
laughing and cheering like schoolboys
on holinay trip, the United States
battleship Texas, Captain ]. W. Philip
in command, steamed slowly up the
lower bay from Sandy Hook yesterday
forenoon on her way to the Brooklyn
navy yard. Solicitations of welcome
came from all sides. Every vessel that
boosted steam whistle let it shrek
for all it was worth.
The cheers of the excursionists and
the passengers on the numerous ferry
boats were taken up by the people
who watched the black painted war
ship from the New York and Brooklyn
shores, and the brave sailors responded
with waving caps and handkerchiefs
as they stood on the main deck dressed
in white duck suits.
The general outward appearance Of
the big floating fort showed that the
Texas had had rough time of it, and
a close inspection revealed the places
where the shells of the dons had PEN
etrated the port bow and starboard
superstructure.
The firing of the port turret gun
across the upper deck shook the vessel
considerably, and she will need gen.
eral overhauling, as her decks and sup
ports have been loosened. If occasion
required, however, the Texas could
fight at moments notice, her bat
teries being in excellent order.

AWAITING SCHWAN'S BRIGADE.
On Saturday 5000 More Men Were !

On Saturday 5000 More Men We're Ex-

Ponce, Porto Rico, July 30, via St.
Thomas.-Major General Miles hourly
expects the arrival of the transports
having on board Brigadier General
Schwan's division of 5000 men and
also the Mohawk, with the Fifth reg
ular cavalry.
General Henry's division, consisting
of 3, 400 men and including thirty-six
pieces of artillery, has been ordered to
march Immediately from Yauco to
Ponce to be ready to join the move
ment north to San Juan. The six.
teenth Pennsylvania regiment was
sent this Saturday morning toward
Juana Diaz, eight miles north of Ponce
on the way to San Juan. The railroad
from Ponce to :auco is now in posses
sion of our troops. General Stone
found five mines on the track. These
were destroyed and the track is unin-
jured.
Our troops found seventeen Span
iards in the Yauco hospital, all of
whom had been wounded in Tuesdays
fight. Two of them have since died.
General Miles has issued a lengthy
order of instructions to General Will
son, who will be military governor of
Ponce province and city until General
Brooke's arrival. 1t is of.the same tenor
as the instructions which General
Miles gave to General Shafter at San
tiago. Both orders are based on the
administration instructions given to
General Merritt regarding the govern
ment of the Philippine islands. The
local mayor, and judges and police will
remain in authority, subject to the
orders of General Wilson. The Gus
tom house offices will also be conduct
ed as formerly for the present.
The question OF the proper discount
on Porto Rican silver gives some trou-
BILE to General Miles, but he says this
will settle itself in due time.

of the enemy, the advance guard of

Attempts by the Spaniards to blow

failed, only few fat cars being
burned. Our troops have fred up the

MANILA READY TO GIVE IN.
Spaniards Intimate That They Only
Await Dewey's Demand.
INSURGENTS LIKE THE Gu BANS
General Merritt Evidently Expects the
Insurgents to Furnish Most of the
Trouble-Signihcant Dispatches Re-
eaived From Merritt and Dewey.

HoNG KoNG, Aug. 1.-The American
steamer Zafro has arrived here from
Manila. Before the Zafiro left Ad-
miral Dewey had received an intima-
ton from the Spanish authorities that
they were ready to surrender Manila
when called on by him. As soon as
the city is occupied the cable between
Hong Kong and Manila will be con-
nected by the Americans.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-General Ner-
rift has again cabled the War depart
ment relative to the situation in Ma
Mia, which he finds very unsatisfactory
and dangerous, owing to the attitude
of the insurgents.
In the opinion of General Merritt
the attitude of the insurgents there is
similar to that assumed by Garcia's
Cubans upon the question of their
rights to enter and possess themselves
of the city, although in this case the
insurgents are a very much more for
midable element, being not only more
numerous but better armed and filled
with the arrogance following numerous
victories over their Spanish foes. Cen
eral Merritt, however, indicates that
he will do his utmost to protect the
citizens from the savagery OF the in
surgents, though his task is delicate
and difficult one because of the fact
that he must, while fighting the Span
iards, be ready at any moment to repel
the insurgents.
The general gave notice that he was
about to combine with Admiral Dewey
for joint demand for the surrender
of the city to the United States forces,
thus forestalling the insurgents, and
this move may cause a rupture. 1t is
possible, in view of the fact that Cen
eral Merritt's cablegram was sent
from Cavite last Thursday, that this
movement has been made already by
the combined American military and
naval force, although there is some
doubt about this on account OF a state
ment from Merritt that he may need
all of his soldiers before attacking.
Still it is possible that the demand
might be made without an attack
which may be deferred until all the
troops have reached Cavite.
Up to the date of the report General
Merritt had with him about $4,000 SOL
diers. So far several expeditions have
left San Francisco carrying soldiers to
the Philippines, and it is the intention
to furnish Merritt at least 5000 men
more than his present force. If he
delays the attack until all these have
reached him Manila will not be taken
in that way before September. as the
last of the troops have not yet started
from San Francisco. 1t may be, how
ever, that the arrangement as to the
Philippines, which, it is expected, will
be included in the peace treaty, will
obviate the necessity for further &C
ton upon the part of the American
commanders.
Secretary Alger and Secretary Long
are in conference with the President
over the serious situation in the Phil
ippines. Secretary Alger admitted the
receipt of significant dispatches from
Merritt and Dewey, but declined to
state their exact nature.

WAsHINeroN. Aug. c.-An army Of
not less than so, 600 men will be order
ed to Cuba as an army of occupation.
Now that the administration feels as
sured that peace is near at hand, ar
engagements are making to send large
force to Cuba to establish law and
order in that island. Owing to the
danger from yellow fever, these troops
will probably not be ordered to Cuba
until the latter part of September or
the first of October. In the meanwhile
the ten immune regiments will be sent
ahead.
The Cuban army of occupation will
consist entirely of volunteers. The
entire army of regulars under the COM
mand of Major General Shafter will be
brought back to the United States and
encamped at Montauk Point.
General Lee will be given command
of the Cuban army of occupation and
made military governor of the entire
island.
The army of occupation will be dis

troops in Cuba for year.
An army will also be left in Porto
Rico. Major General Brooke will
