MILWAUKEE, WIS, Aug 31.-After
nearly three hours of speechmaking to-
night, the Democratic state convention
dominated Judge Hiram W. Sawyer Of
Hartford. for governor. over Timothy +.
Ryan. of Waukesha, and W. II. Rogers. of
Madison. The contest was In doubt until
the votes OF the last few counties were
called. The fight was n good natured one
all through and when 1t was seen that
Sawyer had majority on the informal
ballot the selection was made unanimous.
The balance of the ticket will be nomin-
ated tomorrow and Will probably contain
one or two candidates from the ranks of
the Populists. The Populist convention is
in session here ready TO entertain fusion
proposition.
Though the report of the committee on
resolutions was signed by every member
of the committee n fight was made by few
of the delegates in the convention against
the plank reaffirming the Chicago plat

There are. Of course, many worthy pri-

what we have to think of now are the peo-

II is sordid to the last degree. Its courts Of

of humanity. On the contrary, It has
shown all the world to what depth of

FERNANDINA. FLA, Aug A-The hos
pital ship Olivette, which has been lying
near the quarantine station, sank this morn
ing about 7:30 o'clock, through some mys-
terious agency. Aboard of the ship was the
hospital corps of thirty-five and a crew of
forty-five persons, all of whom escaped
without injury, but in scanty attire. The
roustabouts sleeping in the lower hold had
q narrow escape, being driven from their
hunks like SO many rats. Fortunately for
those on board, there was a schooner near
by and some of them took shelter on her,
while others sought refuge at the quaran-
tine station. The Olivette went down in
ABOUT thirty feet of water, her main deck
being submerged. No one apparently knows
now the calamity could have occurred, and
as no investigation has vet been made the
matter remains mystery. Vessels in the
harDor viii probably pump her out If such
a thing is possible.

mony.
Ensign Powelson, who is suffering with a
broken leg, the result of fall down a
hatchway of the auxiliary cruiser st. Paul,
was not able to stand up while DR.. Love
joy performed the ceremony. and his bride,
therefore. stood beside his cot The al
most cherries hospital room had been
transformed into a veritable bower Of
roses for the occasion. and. notwithstand-
ing the temporary infirmity of the groom,
the occasion was as joyous and happy as
though the marriage had been celebrated
in the church in Wyoming, o.. where it
was originally intended that the couple
should be welded. Miss Millar wore a
bridal dress of white. and Miss Clark was
dressed in a walking costume.
For some days Miss Millar has been act
ing as nurse to her injured lover and after
the ceremony the newly made wife re-

GENERAL GARCIA REMOVED.
Relieved of His Command Because oi
His Tilt With General
Shafter.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA. Aug. 31.-General
Garcia has been relieved of his command
by General Gomez, acting under instruc-
tions from the provisional government.
This is owing to disapproval of his action
during the Shafter incident, and in view of
the.fact that he is persona non grata to the
American government. At the commence
ment of the war the Cuban officers were
ordered to put themselves under the orders
of the American commanders. and the letter
of Garcia to Shafter is looked upon a
breach of discipline.
His resignation is not accepted but he
is relieved of his command. General Rod
riguez, commanding the East under Co
mez will succeed him.
