In response to request from T. Han
ly Beam, an Ohio man, for the shoes he
wore during the battle Of Manila, Ad
miral Dewey has written "a letter in
which be says: Il have a great many
pairs of shoes and never wear the same
pair Oh two days in succession, and coz
sequently have not the least idea which
pair l wore on May /. / send you a SOU
venir. however, of that memorable day.
1t is rabbit 5 foot that have had fol

This ought to be sufficient to prevep,
the Ohio man from regretting his mod
esty in not asking the admiral for all
the shoes he possessed.

TENNESSEE'S G. o. P.
Endorsed Mckinley and Declared For
Territorial EXPANSION.

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 1.-THE Re
publican state convention. which met
here today in the senate chamber at the
state capitol, nominated James Fowler
of Clinton for governor by acclama-
ton.
The platform adopted endorses the St.
Louis platform and demands the MAIN
tenance Of the gold standard. The con-
duct by the administration Of President
Mckinley of the war with Spain and
the foreign policy arising therefrom, are
praised as mastery, statesmanlike and
patriotic.
This declaration follows: I'VE be-
lieve in an extension of trade and COM
nerce with foreign countries. Believ-
ing that trade follows the flag, we de-
clare in favor of the annexation Of
Porto Rico and all the West Indian
Islands, the ultimate annexation Of
Cuba by the free consent of the Deo-
pie of the island, and such control of
the Philippines and other islands as
shall secure to the United States the
trade and commerce of these islands
and good government of their people"
Another plank urges the immediate
construction of the Nicaragua canal,
the enterprise to be strictly under
American control.
James A. Greer, r. A. Haggard and
Zach Taylor were nominated for rail-
road commissioners.
A few negro delegates were in at
tendance, but the convention was
largely composed of whites.

BOSS RAINEY KNOCKED OUT.
Contesting Delegates Denied Seats In
California Convention.

Sacramento, Cal, Aug. 1l.-When the
Democratic state convention was
called to order by Governor Budd at
1880 o'clock today, a resolution was
adopted by a rising vote, and amid
cheers, instructing the chairman or
the convention to transmit telegram
to President Mckinley, congratulatlng
him on the successful conclusion of the
war Majority and minority reports
of the committee on credentials were
submitted in reference to the claims to
seats in the convention made by the
rival delegations from San Francisco.
A minority report recommended that
half a vote be allowed to each OF the
delegates from both the factions; that
both organizations be diSbanded, and
that measures be taken for the reor-
ganiZation of the Democratic commit
tee. The majority report recommended
the seating of the McNab delegates
appointed by the state central COM
mittee and also that a new Democrat
ic county committee in San Francisco
be chosen at a primary election. Three
hours were allowed by the convention
for the presentation of the rival claims
of the contesting delegates.
The entire time of the convention
was occupied in debating the majority
and minority reports. The San Fran
cisco delegation, the contestants
claimed, had been appointed by the
state central committee, while the con-
tents claimed they had been regularly
elected. The San Francisco delegation
charged that the contestants were the
creatures of Boss Sam Rainey of San
Francisco. The convention decided by
a two-thirds majority in favor of seat
ing the delegation appointed by the
state central committee.
Charles NJ. Cassin of Santa Cruz was
elected permanent chairman of the
convention.
The convention was called to order
at $50 p. m. The report on organiZa-
ton Of the new state central commit
tee was read and laid on the table.
The convention then adjourned until
tomorrow. The Fifth district conven-
ton nominated William Craig for con-
gress.
The Third equalization district nom
mated r. II. Beamer for member of
the board of equalization. H. NJ. La
rue was nominated for railroad com
missioner by the First railroad district
convention. John y. Dunn was nom
mated member of the board of equal
iZation by the First equalization dis
trict convention. William NJ. Hinton
was nominated railroad commissioner
by the Second railroad district conven-
ton.

-Immunes Causing Much Trouble

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE war de-
partment today received the following:
Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 17-Major
Miley has just returned from Baracoa
and Sagua de Tenamo. At the two
places there were 1,156 officers and men
surrendered, 2,321 stands of arms and
ALB, 600 rounds of ammunition, and five
Krupp guns.
The troops were very short of food,
but Is days rations were given them
by Major Miley, and large amount Of
Red Cross supplies landed at the same
time at both places.
These troops know nothing what
ever of the destruction of Cervera's
feet, the fall of Santiago or any later
events. They accepted the situation,
however, and appeared to be glad of
the opportunity of getting home. Major
Miley states that on the door of the
commanding officer was posted a bulle-
tin, purporting to be telegram from
the naval commander at Manila, in
forming SagaSta of his great victory
over Dewey at Manila, and Sagasta's
thanks TO him for the same.
1.-The country in the vicinity of these
towns is in the same condition as that
here-utterly destroyed and grown up.
Inhabitants said that in Is months they
would be able to raise crop of bana-
mas, which was the principal product.

ADMIRAL CERvERA GOING HOME
RELEASED AS A PRISONER OF
WAR.
Will Start For Spain With Captain
Moreu Today-A1l Spanish Officers
Will Be Released Soon.

New York, Aug. 17.-There was con-
siderable handciapping and some cheers
at o'clock this morning when Admiral
Cervera landed from the Fall River line
steamboat Priscilla at the foot of Murray
street. While on the boat a passenger
shook hands with Cervera and remarked:

Lieutenant Hobson is a brave man and

admiral.
Admiral Cervera is on his way back
to Annapolis. When he reaches there
he expects to complete arrangements for
his transfer back 70 Spain.

says: At the conclusion of the cabinet
council last night Admiral Cervera was
instructed to take the first ship home,

GERMANY's HOSTILE ACT.
Removal of August Clear Breach
of Neutrality.

London, Aug. 1.-THE Times, in an
editorial this morning, says: "As the
signing of the protocol could not have
been known when the Germans arranS-
ed to remove Governor General Angus
ii, the transaction grows remarkably
near a deliberate breach of neutrality.
But for the German action General Au-
gusti would have been a most import
ant prisoner of war. The whole story
decidedly wants explanation.
The Times does not think that the
United States would be satisfied TO be
bounded by the horizon, advocated by
Mr.. Carnegie, in the North American
Review, and says:
ION the contrary, the American 9eo
pie might contemplate entering cosmic
society and playing their part in the
movement of the world, instead OF
standing outside making money and
influence, which they cannot use for
any purpose that appears to the imagi-
nation.
Putting the things in a more concise
form, we imagine it is felt, more effect
ually after the capture of Manila after
a fight, responsibilities in connection
with the Philippines which are not to
be disposed of by such purely utilitar-
ian and materialiSt arguments as Mr..
Carnegie puts forth"
The Pail Mall Gazette comments this
afternoon on the extraordinary action
OF the Germans in assisting the flight
of General August from Manila. In
terms similar TO those used by the
Times this morning, it sharply criticisss
the proceedings, drawing attention to
its similarity to the German action
during the British bombardment of
Zanzibar. when the usGrDing sultan
sought refuge at the German consul
ate.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: This
Manila incident is uncommonly nigh
fragrant breach of neutrality, and is
certain to be regarded as an icterna-
tional discourtesy, if nothing worse"
Madrid, Aug. 17.-It is now asserted
that General August left Manila after
the surrender.
The government has received his re-
port, giving details as to the surren-
der, but it is not yet ready to publish
it.
1t is reported that General August,
on Aug. Z, refused all propositions to
