Dockwei1er resign in favor of Robert NJ. Fitzgerald of Oakland the man who had first been slated for the chairman ship, but who was turned down because of premature exposure of the scheme This Dockweiler refused to do, and de- clared that he would insist on his rights and, if necessary, would appeal to the convention. The name of Charles M Cassin of Santa Cruz was then pro- posed in place of that of Fitzgerald. But DockweiIer still declined to enter- tain the proposition.
 Even had he done so it is doubtful if McNab would have consented to the selection of Cassin, as that gentleman, who was present at the conference, emphatically declared that were he chairman he would not permit either of these San Francisco delegations a seat on the floor of the convention hall until the right of one of the delegations to be there had been finally determin- ed by the convention
 As this was not what the McNab people desired they joined Dockweiler in striking Cassin's name off the list of eligibles.
 McNab was persistent and Dock weller firm, but the Los Angeles man finally declared that he would surren- der his claim only on one condition, and that was that an agreement should be entered into by all parties, includ- ing James G. Mcguire. that the chair { manship Of tie convention be given to | Governor Budd.
 Governor Budd has been one of the bitterest opponents of the high handed methods of the whispering boss, and the proposals made by Dockweiler was declared not to be acceptable. A dead lock resulted, which continued until long after the hour named for the call- ing of the convention to order.
 Finding that he was defeated on every point and that he would have to choose between Governor Budd and Mr. Dockweiler, he finally consented not to oppose Governor Budd, provided Dock weller would step down and out
 This agreement was ratified by Judge Mcguire, and the conference broke up and repaired to the convention hall, where the delegates had been swelter- ing in the heat for an hour or more- Governor Budd was placed in nomina- tion for temporary chairman and was elected without a dissenting voice.
 Here was a victory for the old-liners and one that McNab confidently ex- pected would be turned to his discom- future in the appointment of a commit tee on credentials made up of men who were in favor of seating the Harney delegation as against the delegation ap- pointed by the McNab committee of one hundred. Events proved that in this McNab erred. Governor Budd, while opposed to the manner and meth cd by which the Committee of One Hundred was brought into existence, believed that it was his duty to allow the convention to decide as to the merit of the claims of the respective delega- tions rather than to take it on himself to decide the matter by the appoint ment of the common credentials cCm- mittee that would of a surety return a report favoring the seating of the Har- ney delegation.
 The Governors views on this Sub- ject are set forth over his own sigma ture in an article published in another part of this paper.

NEW GUNS FOR VOLUNTEERS.
krag-Jorgensen Rifles to Be Furnished 10. 90
Volunteers Going to Porto Rico.


New York, July GA special to
the Times from Washington says:
CAT least 5000 OF the volunteers who
go to Porto Rico are to be supplied
with the Krag-Jorgensen magazine
rifle, used by the regular army. This
announcement made by the ordnance
department, came a a surprise, the
understanding having been that the
supply of the improved guns would
not hermit of their being served out
to the volunteer troops for some
months to come.
The ordnance department con-
tent to let that impression prevail,
80 long as it was not prepared to
convert it with evidence in the shape
of the arms themselves, but it has
been straining every energy to ac-
cumulate a stock OF the rifles IN order
to begin their issue generally as soon
as possible. For the Porto Rico ex-
petition, which will be made up
chiefly of volunteer regiments, now
equipped with the Springfield As
calibre arm, the department pro-
poses to supply the entire corps of
about %, 900 men with Krag-J orgen-
ems"

WHAT HE SAW IN MONTANA.
A Great Northern Official Tells About a Visit
to This Section.

Moses Folsom, general immigra-
ton agent of the Great Northern, re-
turned yesterday morning from a trip
through Montana, and especially the
Milk river country. says the st. Paul
Pioneer Press. When asked what he
saw and heard in Montana. he said:
81 saw a wool compress at work in
a Chinook warehouse crushing three
bags into a single bale. 1t was a
part of Montana's 30, zoo, 900 pound
crop of this year, with prices rang
ing from IA to II cents, the highest
figure since the repeal of the first Nc
Kinley tariff law.
"I..heard an orchestra Of Indian
boys play for a Fourth of July dance
at Glasgow, and it was q very nice
party, too, and there were half a
dozen st. Paul people at it.
"Isaw cowboys busting bronchos
as a part of the program on the
Fourth at Glasgow, and beg to rec
ommend it as a very lively sport.
81 saw a quarter section of land
near Chinook that sold last summer
for 81 800 that yielded the purchaser
81 900 worth of hay in the fall. And
there are hundreds of just as good
quarter sections of land in the Milk
river valley subject to free entry un-
der the homestead law. There is a
very fine stand of grain on the farms
around Chinook,
81 saw the man at Kalispell for
whom Trail county, North Dakota,
was named. He is now farming in
the Flathead valley, and told me
that for five years his wheat crop
had averaged a little over 30 bushels
to the acre
81 saw an upright piano and a gui-
tar in the house OF a farmer near Chi
nook who went into the Milk river
valley as a laborer. 1 heard the far
mer play one instrument and his wife
the other.

ton of Strawberries on his wagon.

Key West, July 23.-Acting under
orders from Rear Admiral Sampson,
four American war ships on Thurs
day afternoon entered the harbor of
Nipe. on the northeast coast Of the
province of Santiago de Cuba, and
after a furious bombardment, took
possession of the harbor. The
vessels engaged were the Topeka,
Annapolis. Wasp and Leyden. In
the course of an hour they silenced
the forts, sunk the Spanish gunboat
Jorge Juan and scattered the
Spanish rifemen who had taken part
in the engagement. Capt. Hunker
ordered the ships to go in. The
Wasp and Leyden being the smallest
of the quartette, led the way, follow
ed by the Annapolis, while the
Topeka. which carried a heavy bat
terry brought up the rear. The
channel was very narrow and on the
bluff to the right was a fort and
signal station.
AS the Wasp and the Leyden and
as the Annapolis and Topeka came
up, the Spanish gunboat Joined in
the fighting and a general battle
followed.
The Topeka anchored in the mid
die of the harbOr. about 1000 yards
from the Jorge Juan, and the other
three American boats drew up on
either side and formed a semi-circle.
The Americans then closed in on the
Spanish ship, pouring in destructive
fire, and on the forts behind. The
Topeka sent 4.inch shells crashing

battles of the war.
San Francisco, July 2l.-A cable

Washington, July 2l.-At 2:45 p. m.
Secretary Alger received a dispatch
from Gen.. Miles saying he will sail
for Porto Rico at 3 p. m. today. The
warships accompanying him are the
Massachusetts, Dixie, Gloucester, Gin
cinnati, Annapolis, Linden and Wasp.
New York, July 2l.-A correspond
emit of the Journal, writing from Ca
wife, Manila, July IL, relates of the
inspection of the hulls of the Spanish
warships sunk in Manila bay by the
squadron of Admiral Dewey. The
cruiser Reina Cristina shows the most
complete destruction, the course of
the Olympia's S-inch shells being
clearly traced by the line of ruin ex-
tending from stern to waist. There
r very few large shot holes through
the hull. the principal ones being
from 6-inch shells ~amidships and
from some 4-inch shells. The cruiser
Castillo is less burned, but terribly
wrecked. There are plain traces
where the big shells tore immense
holes in the wooden hull. When the
fire started the weight of the guns
caved the hull inwards. The war
ship ia now a mass of twisted iron
and charred beams, a very bad wreck
resembling that of the Maine in ap-
pearance. Three large shells entered
amidships. The San Antonio de u
loa did not burn. She sank quickly,
riddled by shells of all sizes. The
greatest havoc was done by 6-inch
shells.

%, via st. Thomas, July 26.-The
United States military expedition
which left Guantanamo on Saturday
is landing here successfully today
after a skirmish with Spanish troops.
No Americans were killed. Early In
the morning the Gloucester steamed
into the harbor to reconnOiter the
place. The fleet waited outside. The
Spanish flag fioated from a block
house ON the east of the village. The
Gloucester lowered her launch, hav-
ing on board 80 men and a Colts
rapid-fire gun. Joseph Lacey hauled
down the Spanish flag and raised the
first United States flag on the Porto
Rican island. Instantly about thirty
Spaniards opened fire with rifles. The
Gloucester then shelled the sound
and surrounding hills. At 9:45 a. m,
with the exception of a few scatter
ing shots, the vicinity was cleared
and the enemy driven out.

that she sank within twenty
minutes. When the firing became
heavy, the officers and crew of the
Spaniard put off in a small boat,
made shore under the heavy fire and
escaped into the woods. Two shots
from the T~opeka's bow gun dropped
squarely into Mayari fort, the
Spanish pennants disappeared and a
white flag was up. This ended
a short but one of the most vicious
battles of the war.
