D, 8. HILL AGAIN ACTIVE.
Ex-senator May Demonstrate That
He Is II New York


New York, June 21.-It becomes
more and more evident as the state
campaign for 1878 progresses that
David Bennett Hill proposes to test lie
correctness of Richard Cookers asser-
tons that Hill is no longer leader of
the democracy of New York. During
the past week, either at Wolfert's
Roost or at his Broadway office in Al.
bany, the former senator has had con-
ferences with nearly a score of lieuten-
ants trusted by him in many fights.
Chairman Danforth, of the state com
mittee, who passed two days with cx-
Senator Hill in Albany, came back APP
parently more convinced than cvcr of
the ACCESSIBILITY of calling the state
committee together July 25 and fixing
on August rs as the date and Saratoga
as the place for the convention.
While there is no disposition upon
the part of Hill and Danforth to I'M
necessarily antagonize or incon-
v%enience Greater New York democrats
they have together, it is understood,
made q pretty thorough canvass of the
members of the state committee and
found Il majority in favor Of the party
blazing the way ahead of the rivals de-
feated Inst November.
Ex-senator Hill Is due here today to
urge Hugh, Mclaughlin to call his con
ventions very 10 If he succeeds in
inducing the Kings county leader to
do this It is his expectation that Tam.
many will follow suit aud that the pre-.
liminary skirnish viii thus be won.

Bny Of gaiqnirri, June 80, via Mole
St Nicholas. june 22s-In the estiina-
ton of ma1iy this Is the most pictur-
csqne bay on the southern coast. 1t
is not as large IS Santiago bay or even
Guantanamo, further cnst, but there
is nearly, II not quite, q mile and a
huff Of land locked deep water, and is
the place selected for the debarkation
Of a part Of Skaters forces, and in
fact, that debarkahon is now taking
place.
As all the other bays on this coast,
IT Is surrounded by hills, and these are
backed up by the Sierras, in the fast
nesscs of whichis tie home of Garcia's
army. The western shore Of the bay
slopes gently towards the sen until
near the coast line, when a high aud
irregular hill raises its lofty head as
If to mark the entrance to the pretty
harbor. Through the valley between
this hill and the head of the bay runs u
fair wagon road to Santiago, sixteen
miles away, and perchance along this
road will be the great battles of the
war for the determination of Spanish
rule in Cuba.
In the Padre hills not far from the
head of the bay are some OF the finest
iron mines inthe world. From them to
the coast is a well ballusted railroad
that carried the products of the mines
to the long, circular steel pier in the
bay, where ships have taken it to the
American furnaces. This property be-
longs to the Spanish-American Iron.
company, Carnegie holding a majority
of the stock.
The pier makes it one of the most
convenient places for landing one can
imagine, as the use Of the small boats
is entirely done away with. On both
sides of the pier there is twenty-five
feet of water, permitting any trans
port in the fleet to lie alongside and
discharge her animated cargo.
There has not been much noise along
the coast today, but any amount of
work. There are certain military rules
always followed in preparing to land
an army on an u~nfriendly shore, and
Sampson and Shnfter are taking no
chances. Their duty now is to land the
army safely, after which it must trust
to luck and good management for its
safety and success,
From what has been seen here today.
it does not appear that Shafter has
many difficulties to surmount. From
samplesr brought in, it is easily dis
cerned that the pride OF the Spanish
men ut arms has been humbled by hun
ger and privation that would test the
courage of better soldiers than Spain
can afford. There may be a sharp en-
gagement before Santiago is taken,
but little more, as half starved men,
will not fight long.

New York, June 1s.-Thts is subur-

club at Sheepshead bay could not have
been favored with better weather for
the opening of their track.
AS usual on suburban day the horses
engaged had little to do this morning,
and their final preparation for the big
race consisted of a light gallop around
the course, with a pipe opener through
the stretch. Before 0 O'clock they
were safely bestowed in their boxes to

matter to find n general favorite for

no one would hazard n bet as to the

nowhere was the record of the subur-
ban of 1898. The favorite was badly
beaten, chiefly because the horses were
kept a full hour at the post. Tillo was
quickest on his feet and for an instant
he showed in front, but Clayton took
him back to fifth position. Royal Stag
came next, followed by Havoc, Ogden,
Don d'Oro, Ornament and the others.

Key West, June a2.-Blanco has done
n most extraordinary thing. Nothing
like 1t has been heard of since the ma
lions Of the earth have recognized thy
fact that there are some rules which all

Blanco has notified the hlockading

The Spanish general cannot expect
to have that recognized by his enemies
which he refuses TO recognize himself,
and it may complicate his personal
welfare before the war is at an end,
and the event has all the appearance of
an intention to sacrifice himself and

Washington, June 22.-No doubt is
entertained In either the war Or navy
department that Skaters expedition
has arrived off Santiago. In fact, it is
believed the first of the transports ar
rived near the b%lockading fleet Satur-
day night. The first thing after Shat
ter's arrival will be q consultation with
Sampson and a decision as to a point
at which debarkation is to take place.
In the meantime transports will lie ten
miles off shore to be secure from pos
sible attack by torpedo boats.
Debnrkation is the critical point of
the whole operation. 1t is reported the
pier at A%guadores has been discovered
to be commanded by Spanish batteries.
If so they must be silepced before u
landing can be made there. 1t is esti-
mated that q landing there will take
two days, as the pier will accommodate
only one ship Mt n time.
The president has nominated Albert
Ames Of Massachusetts and w. Plum

Santiago dc Cuba, Sunday, June 49,.
-(By Associated Press Dispatch Boat.
Filed Mt Kingston, June 20, 9:45 a. ny
Copyright, 1893, BY the Associated
Press.)-A correspondent Of the Asso-
ciated Press has been afforded an OPP
%portunity of interviewing General Ca
liNto Garcia, who with his staff was
brought to Admiral SIMPSONS flagship
this morning on the gunboat Vixen.
The white haired general was lying
in the cabin of Captain Chadwick, the
commander of the New York. He was
seasick. This is the message General
Garcia sent to the American peoples
II am greatly obliged for the efforts
of the American people in securing the
independence of Cuba and l shall do
all / cum to defeat the Spaniards quick
~"
Speaking of the march from Banes,
where he went to receive the muni-
tions of the FLORIDA expedition" he
said:
I'VE had n hard march over the
rough roads. Engagements with the
Spaniards? No, because there were no
Spaniards. My 1000 men are in good
condition except for the slight fatigue
OF the long march. We found enough
food, though the Spaniards nre starv-
ing. The patriots are not suffering
from the blockade. They can always
get food. 1t is the Spaniards who pay
the price. | think the war will be
over In q few months. You can beat
the Spaniards easily, but it is very
hard to drive them out"
Then General Garcia asked Admiral
Sampson, who sat beside him, what
had happened to the other Spanish
ships, the Pelayc. and the rest, and
opened his eyes wide, with n muttered
exclamation of surprise, when he
heard that Admiral Cnmara was still
at home.
AT Holguin, General Garcia said,
there are 10000 Spanish troops, but he
believes the 5000 men he left there will
effectually prevent the enemy from
reaching Santiago from the I1olguin
side.
Captain Chadwick met General Gar
ella in General Rabi's camp, eighteen
miles west of FL Moro. Rabi has
about 1000 men. General Garcia was
accompanied on board the New York
by his staff. They were put ashore
later in the day after the preliminary
details of cooperation between the
Cuban and American troops had been
fully discussed.
