JUDGE VAN WICK ACCEPTS.
New York's Democratic GubernatOr-
inI Candidate Notified.

New York, Oct. 4.-The Hon. Augustus
Van Wyck received official notice tonight
that he had been nominated for governor.
He received the information in the library
of his Brooklyn home The news was
conveyed TO him by the Hon. Frederick
Schraub, who was accompanied by
number of prominent Democrats, named
as the notification committee. Ex-Jus-
tice Van Wyck spoke as follows:
1T is a pleasure to meet you, gentle
men. The action of the Syracuse conven-
tion was startling surprise to your
nominee for governor. 1t was so unex-
pected and so foreign 10 his aspirations
that he paused for a time to consider
the advisability thereof and his action
thereupon. but soon reached the concIu-
sion that the judgment of the Democracy
of this commonwealth. pronounced in
State convention assembled. must be ae-
quiesced in without the slightest thought
of his personal preferences or comfort
He does not misjudge the real meaning
of the selection. He well knows that it
was not intended as a personal compli-
ment but as an expression of high re-
gard for the Democracy of Kings County,
which has so long. with absolute un-
selfishness, sustained the great leaders of
the Democracy of this State
1T cannot be questioned that a large
majority of the voters distrust the Re-
publican control OF the State government.
and are hostile 10 its continuance. If this
opposition viii act together it will deter
mine in favor of the Democracy the con-
test formulated at Syracuse for better.
wiser, more economical honest and con-
servative government in the affairs OF
this State. Conscious of the grave re-
sponsibility imposed by his candidacy and
Of the far greater ones to be assumed in
the event of victory. he stands ready.
from this on, to use every honorable ef-
fort for the success of this movement
He VIII shortly send you\a letter of ac-
ceptance presenting his views upon the
issues involved"
A crowd of fifteen or twenty persons
had gathered outside the house, while the
speeches were being made. There was no
demonstration. Immediately after the
notification the committee and others re-
turned to the Hoffman House, where the
other candidates were notified.

INDIANS HOLDING HOSTAGES.
1t Is Believed That Two officers Are
TraDDed at Bear Island.

Walker, Mimi, Oct. At was reported
this afternoon that the Peillager Indians
had succeeded in trapping Marshal o'Con-
nor and Indian ..gent Tinker, and that
they are now holding them at Bear Isl
and as hostages.
Early this morning the commissioners
arrived in town and asked that two Of
ficers accompany them to Bear Island tor
a conference and stating that they must
go alone or the braves would refuse TO
treat with them. The two men immedi-
ately complied with the request.
After they had been gone half an hour
some of the other Indians about town he
gan to boast that neither of the officials
would be allowed to come back until as
surance had been given that no arrests
would be made. The matter was treated
lightly at first, but the boasts of the
Indians were so persistent that many be-
gan TO think they had arranged plan
TO insure immunity from arrest for them
selves.
II the rumor proves true, the soldiers
will take the initiative and sweep every
redskin on the island into the lake.

NO AGREEMENT AT HAVANA.
The Evacuation Question, With
Others. 10 Take u ManaEa Course.

Havana, Oct 4-This morning the
American and Spanish evacuation com
missioners met in joint session In the hall
of the Colonial Parliament. There was
a large crowd outside the building, but
only the members and secretaries and
stenographers were allowed to enter.
The first point in the discussion was the
time for the evacuation. The Americans
persisted in their demand that the Span
ish troops be all out of the island about
November 80. The Spaniards insisted that
they be allowed a longer time. Speeches
were made on both sides, but no agree
ment was reached and the matter was
left for further discussion.
Another point discussed was the form
of the evacuation, whether it was to take
place gradually and from the east to the
west of the island or whether the island
should be evacuated as a whole. No
agreement was reached and this matter
was also left for further discussion,
The third point, about the property the
Spanish army was entitled to carry back
TO Spain, also resulted in a deadlock.
The Spanish commissioners notified the
Americans, in the name of Captain Cen
eral Blanco, that on account of bad
weather the steamer Porto Rico will not
arrive at Manzanillo in time for the en-
barkation of the Spanish troops there on
October 7, as was agreed, but they added
that the Spaniards were ready TO encamp
outside the city until the transports
rive, and surrender the town immediate
iy to the Americans
The American Commissioners replied
that there would be no trouble about that,
for the American troops will encamps out
side the city for sanitary reasons.
Speeches were made by Gen. Parade
and Marquis Montero, on the Spanish
side and Gems. Butler and Clous, on the
American side.
