The Democratic County Convention
will assemble in the chamber Of the
Second Branch OF Council this after
noon at two O'Clock, and will be called
to order by Thomas M Darrah, chair
man of the County Executive Commit
tee. The list OF delegates elected at
last Saturdays primaries was publish
ed In the Register Monday morning,
but there villa probably be a change
here and there, as was the case with
the late Republican Convention, largely
brought about by the inability of dele-
gates regularly elected to be present.
The business before the Convention
will be: The selection of four candi-
dates for House of Delegates. a candi-
date for Superintendent of County
Schools, the appointment of Senatorial
conferees, and the adoption OF resolu-
lions.
The contest for places on the legisla-
tive ticket will likely be quite inter-
esting. The nominations this year will
not be allowed to go by default, as
more than enough candidates or their
friends are making a canvass for NOM
nations and quite a number more are
willing to accept If they are nominated.
One place on the ticket is conceded.
That is to James r.. Hissom, OF the
Island. The statements In an evening
paper that Mr.. Hissom was making an
active canvass for the nomination and
that his availability is measured by the
size of his bank account are both I'M
true and unjust. Mr.. Hissom's name
is being urged simply by a majority
Of the delegates, who deem him a
strong candidate. He Is a. gentleman
of stability, undoubted integrity and
ability and generally popuf\r. It has
been truly said he has not an enemy
in the city and possesses, to a rare TO-
gree, the faculty of making friends with
whomever he comes in contact. 1t Is
true he has large investment In this
city, but this fact should commend
him to the consideration Of conserva-
tive voters In addition to these favor
able qualities he Is staunch Demo-
crat His nomination will be no mis-
take.
Attorney Joseph Handlan has also
been mentioned for another place IN
Inc IeglslaIfve ticket mr. Handlan is
lawyer of ability and a young man
of popularity He will have many
strong friends in the convention and Is
a leading candidate.
James Baird, of Elm Grove, has been
suggested as the country member OF
the delegation to be nominated, and
would make strong candidate. MI
Baird is well known In the county
particularly In the country districts
where he has many friends In both
parties. Luther Blayney is also a
candidate from the country, and would
make a strong candidate. Ex-Sherifl
Lewis Steenrod's name has also been
mentioned by his friends. M. F. Tighe
will undoubtedly be nominated as the
labor candidate, ard a better choice
could not be made Others whose
names have been referred to as legis-
lative candidates are James w. Ewing

SPAIN TO SUE FOR PEACE.
TWO MEMBERS OF CABINET

Independence of Cuba and Philip
pied Until Indemnity is Paid.

LONDON, July 1.-THE Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily MALI saws:
There are persistent rumors here that
Duke Almodovar del Rio, Foreign Min
lister, and Senior Gamazo, the Minister
of Public Instruction and Public Works.
have received full power to propose a
suspension of hostiIities as a prelim-
mary to peace negotiations. The Min
listers neither affirm nor deny the rumor.
Spain, it is alleged, is prepared for
peace on the basis of the independence
of Cuba and the Philippines, the United
States occupying Porto Rico until the
war indemnity is paid.
Lieutenant General Correa, Minister
of War; says everything depends upon
the course of events at Santiago.

CHICAGO NEWSPAPERS.
The Dailies Resumed Publication
Yesterday.

CHICAGO. July 6.-The Chicago pa
pers are publishing as usual to-day.
Tbs Stereotypers who struck have all
been dismissed and their places sup
piled by non-union men.
President Prescott of the Internation-
al Typographical Union, who came
from Indianapolis to make an investi-
cation, decided that the strike of the
stereotypers employed on the Chicago
newspapers was illegal, and that they
should have adhered to their contracts.
As the Stereotypers' Union is subor-
dinate to the Typographical Union.
this decision opened the way to the
newspapers to resume publication. Ac-
cordingly all of the morning papers
We're issued to-day, but reduced in size,
only four pages, the stereotypers' plates
having been made by non-union men,
The afternoon papers also appeared in
the same form, having engaged new
men. Tomorrow the size of all pa
pers will be doubled. and it is expected
by Friday the usual number of pages
can be gotten out.
AS the newspaper publishers have
agreed not to have anything to do with
the Stereotypers' Union hereafter. the
200 men who struck last Friday night
will have difficulty in finding work in
Chicago, as many non-union stereo-
typers from other cities have come
here and more are said to be on their
way

The Queen Is greatly affected, and did

day
The Spanish Governments decision to
continue the war is published, and it is
added that the Americans need 100000
men to continue the operations in Cuba,
it being alleged there that the cooper
alton of the insurgents is practically nil.
Senior Silvela, the Liberal leader, de-
clared that the present situation is more
favorable to peace than to war But
he adds, that the Government alone can
judge of what ought to be done in the
present circumstances, and he will sup
port the Government in any determina-
ton it may reach.
The Spaniards say the Government is
unable to withstand such misfortunes,
and that the time has come for a gem
eral settlement. The military party
itary men say they think Spain could
never have expected naval victory, and
that so long as she does not meet with
disaster ashore, she ought not to sue
for peace. The Carlists are anxious
for the war to continue.
The Government views are believed TO
differ. Senior Sagasta, the Premier,
says he is awaiting details of recent
events from official Spanish sources,
adding that he will see the effect which
the loss of the Spanish squadron has
upon Spain before deciding upon his
course

The Army About Santiago on the
Alert for a Suanish Attack

Copyrighted, 1898. by Associated Press.
BEFORE SANTIAGO DE CUBA,

Patch boat, via Port Antonio, Tuesday,
July >, via Kingston, July 6-Not a
shot has been exchanged between the
opposing armies since yesterday noon.
AT the request of the foreign Consuls
III Santiago, General Shafter extended
until Tomorrow the period in which
General Linares may agree to surren-
Ger his forces under threat that the
town Will be bombarded. The Spanish
Generals decision is doubtful. 1t is
unquestionably true that the annihila-
ton of Admiral Cerveras fleet was a
staggering blow to him, but Mr.. Rams
den, the British Consul, says General
Pando has reinforced General Linares
with 1000 troops, and that the Span
iards are bitterly determined to fight it
out. He said so bitter was the feeling
among the Spanish subaltern officers
that General Linares would probably
be shot if he surrendered. Their atti-
tude was expressed in General Linares'
reply to General Sfafter yesterday,
This garrison dies. but never surren-
ders"
ferent feeling must prevail. They have
learned from the experience of the in
hahitants of Siboney that American
soldiers do not ravish women. but re-
sEect property and relieve prisoners in
distress. Many of the Spaniards, there
fore, are now utterly Indifferent if fur
ther misfortune befalls the Spanish
army. The armistice is not officially
recognized, and our boys have been
cautious to keep out of sight, as a stray
shot at any time may precipitate gem
eral firing along the line.
The Fourth of July was celebrated at
noon to-day by the Americans, each
regiment reading General Miles con-
gratulatOry telegram to General Shaf-
ter, after which the regimental bands
in the rear of the line played patriotic
airs.
General Miles announcement that he
would be here within a week with re-
inforcements was received with wild
cheering.
III spite of the reports brought by
the Consuls of the determination of the
Spaniards to continue the contest, thera
is strong hope here that General
I.inares will capitulate. No other con-
struction can be placed upon his dispo-
sition to negotiate.
Rain came down in torrents for
hours, but a traverse to the hillside had
been cut in the trenches after yester-
days experience and our men did not

The report that the fine ship Yam
kee, lying at Tompkinsville, just from
Cuba, had yellow fever, caused a good
deal of worry at the department until
Captain Brownson telegraphed during
the day that there was absolutely no
fever ON the ship, and that she was r
in quarantine
Secretary Long regarded the report
that the Alfonso XIII. had been de-
stroyed while trying to break the Ha-
vana blockade as the best news of the
day. 1t had not come to him in any
direct official way, but through 4 re-
port from General Greedy, Chief Signal
Officer who had received a cipher mes
sage stating briefly that the Spanish
ship had been overhauled near Mariel
while trying to get through the block
the fire upon her. Both the Secretary
and General Greedy regarded the report
as authentic but there was a desire to
get more details, as this has been some
thing of a spectral ship.
The Alfonso XIII. is an iron gunboat,
with one screw, one funnel and one mil
itary mast; bark rugged, $50 feet long,
43 fee1 beam and 10 feet draught. She
has a displacement of 5000 tons. She
had speed of II knots for short dis
tances and an average speed of Il
knots; carried IS large guns, > machine
guns and 3 torpedo tubes. Her officers
and crew numbered $40.
Secretary Long is quite hopeful that
several of the Spanish ships of the Ger
vera squadron can be saved, in part
at least, and possibly as whole. AS
sistant Secretary Allen shares in this
belief, and thinks that the Cristobal
Colon can be got off the rocks as an
entirety, and that the huh, upper works
and guns can be made available. She
Spanish navy, and if she can be fioated
and repaired will make a valuable ac-
QUESTION to the American navy.
Mr. Allen is hopeful also that the Viz
caya and Oquendo can be saved in part.
Information has reached the depart
ment that the fulls are not badly dam
aged. The contract with the Merritt
Wrecking Company is by the day, and
may be cancelled at any time if the
Government finds the salvage is not
progressing satisfactorily. Two large
vessels left Norfolk to-day to begin
work upon the Colon. Vizcaya and
Oquendo.
QuarteInaster General Ludington is
going to sell the first bale of cotton
grown in the United States this year
for the benefit of the United States
hospital service, now so severely taxed
by the war. A day or two ago Presi-
dent Mckinley received from H. < y.
Beer of New Orleans the following let
ter:
We express to-day to you the first
bale of cotton of the new crop, to be
disposed of in such a manner as you See
fit for the benefit of the hospital fund. =
The President sent this note to the
War Department, With instructions to
accept the cotton. The cotton will be
forwarded to New York, where it will
be auctioned off toward the end of the
week The expectation is that the cot
ton will bring a fancy figure, in view of
the use to which the money is destined.
