by Gen. Gomez the Cuban insur-

Serious results may arise from this,
and, he says, the Cubans cannot be
blamed il they are forced to take with
their arms the necessaries OF life. This
they can do by capturing a town, but
the Cubans have pledged themselves
not to violate the armistice and they
therefore appeal to the United States

Manila, Sept. s7.-When the United
States auxiliary cruiser McCulloch
captured the insurgent steamer Abbey,
formerly the Pasig, 80 miles south Of
Manila, the Abbey, it is believed, hav-
ing landed 1000 rifles, an insurgent
boat followed the American vessel in
to Cavite, and now the Americans
contemplate taking possession Of the
entire insurgent feet because the ves-
sells are flying an unrecognized flag
and are liable to seizure as pirates by
the war vessels Of any nation.
American cruisers have gone
north, where the steamer Filipinas
is landing troops Two steamers
which have just arrived here brought
many Spanish officials and refugees
from the southeast Of the island of
Luzon. They report that the insur-
gents are overrunning the country,
destroying property and the hemp
crops. There has been an outbreak Of
smallpox in the California regiment
here, but only six cases Of mild type

NATIONAL SOLDIERS HOMES.

He Cared for by Them.

Milwaukee, Sept 2T.-Soldiers Of
the Spanish-American war, when so
disabled that they cannot care for
themselves, will be admitted to the
national soldiers homes. Senator
John L. Mitchell says that while the
law provides that the national homes
are for disabled soldiers Of the civil
war, discretion is given the board Of
managers Of the homes in a clause
which permits such other soldiers to
be cared for as in the Judgment Of the
managers is deemed right Under
this ruling Senator Mitchell says that
members Of the regular army have
been cared for at the homes until they
could be transferred to their home at
Washington, and he says 1t is his judg-
ment that needy and disabled soldiers
Of this war will be cared for at the
homes II they apply and room can be
found for them. 1T may be stretch

Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 2z-There is
hardly an impartial observer here who
does not believe that the ticket To be
nominated by the republican state
convention will be headed by Col.
Theodore Roosevelt for governor and
Timothy L. Woodruff for lieutenant
governor. Chauncey M. Depew, who
is to name Mr.. Roosevelt, is positive
that his candidate has an almost clear
field. 1t was pretty we'll decided late
last night that Gov. Black will not 60
into the convention. His friends are
urging him to do so, but up to this
time he has stoutly maintained that 1t
would not be dignified.
The leaders Of the party Yesterday
put the finishing touches on the plat
form, and that document is ready to be
reported to the convention. II will be
one Of the brlefest platforms ever
adopted by a republican state conven.
tion, comprising not more than 1000
words. 1t will indorse the admins
tration OF Gov. Black, and will re-
view the proceedings Of the last two
sessions Of the republican legis-
lature. Beyond that the platform
will not deal with state issues,
but will chiefly touch upon questions
of national scope, including an un.
qualified and vigorous Endorsement OF
President MsKinley's administration.
One of the most important planks will
declare in favor Of the retention Of the
Philippine islands and against the re-
turn to Spain of any conquered lands.
Another plank will recommend the
passage of Il currency bill, which shall
recognize the government paper money
on the basis OF the gold standard.
