All the Present Officers Will de Candi-

War talk has taken the keen edge OIL
public interest in politics. but it has not
lessened the activity of the Candidates
and their friends.
All the present county officers will be
candidates again, no matter which way
the fusion cat jumps. They are already
prosecuting their candidacy with n per
sistency and vigor worthy Of success be-
fore the nominating convention.
Clerk Dan Young, especially, is on the
anxious bench. He has been in office
now nearly four years and only within
the past month has he walked up TO the
fact that since he has been i'll office he
has grown mighty weak With the peo-
pie. Sin he ut once appointed negro
clerk and went out on the street to
shake hands with his constituents. There
is among the negroes an element that is
strongly opposing him and claiming the
power to defeat him, but rs yet no OPP
posing candidate has been named; nor
will one be, it is said, until the fusion
matter is settled.

The two Populist officials, Register of

Knight will not be nominated again.
Among the Democrats whose names
are mentioned in connection with these
places are: w. NJ. Russ and John w.
Thompson. clerk of court; ID. l. Fort,

w. A. .Moye. treasurer.
As soon as the fusion question is set
tied the campaign will begin in earnest
and the candidates. in all parties, will
spring up by the dozen.

said Republican officcholder yesterday.
''there is no use for the Republicans to

can be elected. and the Democrats will

AMERICAN VOLUNTEERS
 LAND AT HAVANA

HAVANA, Dec. 12.-The Two Hundred and Second New York Regiment began to land at o'clock this morning. and at o'clock a column about 1000 strong marched from the San Jose wharf to the Christina railroad station. The troops were led by Colonel Seyburn and Major Abbott, the regimental band playing sim pie marches. The color sergeants bore the stars and stripes and the blue and gold banner of the State of New York.
 After some delay. two trains loaded with troops pulled out of the depot. Some of the troops belonging to this detach- ment are bound for the city of Pinar del Rio, about HIS miles from here. The oth- CTS will be stationed at Guanayajay and Mariel. not far from here, in the province of Pinar del Rio.
 The First North Carolina Regiment, which arrived here yesterday morning on the United States transport Roumanian, disembarked this morning and marched through the city with band and colors to camp at Marianao. By the time the regt- ment had reached the suburb of Cerro many hundreds of men, women and chill dren were following, all showing deep emotion, the men embracing one another, the women weeping from excessive pleas ure, and the children shouting endearing names as the North Carolinans marched along.
 The troops were amazed at the intensity of feeling displayed. Several hundred Gu bans followed the regiment all the way to Marianao, a distance of seven miles.

WANTED FOR COAL STATION
AN IMPORTANT RULING BY THE
 LAND COMMISSIONER.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Mr. Binger Hermann, Commissioner of the General Land Office, in a decision rendered to- day holds that Nilsson Island, known also as Nilsson Rock, and small island To- cated just southeast thereof in San Fran cisco bay, is a part of the public domain, and in accordance herewith President Mckinley in a fewNdays will issue an ex- ecutive order reserving both islands as a coaling station for the use Of the navy.
 A temporary order withdrawing these islands has been issued. The. action of the commissioners transfers the islands from private to public control The issue involved is regarded by Commissioner Hermann and other officials as of extreme importance. It will give to the navy what it has long desired to establish and main tain. Mission Island contains about four teen one-hundredthS of an acre, and is in- cluded within and surrounded by tract of submerged or tide lands containing 14 8 acres claimed by the California Dry dock Company through mesne convey ances from the State. The rock, or island itself, is situated in the bay $500 feet from it's west shore, and within the corporate limits of the city of San Francisco
 Leading up to his decision Commission CT Hermann says: This office has never recognized the island as submerged and it does not appear that it has been so con- sidered by the people of the city. Although the State has apparently attempted to law it can claim title. The decision hing ed on whether an approved plat of the exterior limits of the city has been filed in the General Land Office, and exhaus- tive search has failed to find any trace of it.''
 The decision goes into minute details sustaining it's action as against the claims of the city and the drydock people.

LOSS OF SCHOONER HELENE
Crew of Six Gains the Shore by Swimming, After Night Spent on a Rock Washed by
 the Breakers.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SANTA BARBARA, Dec. 12. = The last night bringing six shipwrecked men from the schooner Helene. These men tell thrilling tale of their experi- ence after having been shipwrecked off Santa Cruz Island on Thursday even ing.
 While on the east side of Santa Cruz they encountered a southeaster and a very heavy sea. They immediately made for the west end of the island, which is protected from a southeast wind. They anchored off Forney's S Cove. at the extreme end of the island, and had lain there three or four hours when a northeaster began blowing down the channel between Santa Rosa and Santa Cruz islands. Three anchors were immediately thrown out, but they were powerless against the heavy wind. It was useless for the crew to attempt to pull up anchor and make to sea.
 The vessel dragged her anchors, and at about midnight struck low reef, which forms one side of Forney's Cove, with terrific force, knocking a large hole in her bottom. The vessel turned were not washed off her deck by the waves which swept over her were de- stroyed by the water.
 The six men had great difficulty in saving themselves from being swept off the rigging. The small skiff was unfastened, but as soon as put into the water was capsiZed. Its oars were thus lost. Finally the crew succeeded in righting it, and fastened one end of a
