There will be no convention in 1899
to outline the policy Of the party. In
1900 there will be an early convention
to nominate national ticket, the same
to be held prior to the democra ic con-
vention. No overture looking 10 fusion
will emanate from the national commit.
tee and none will be received and en-.
tertained by it. The national commit.
tee is required to keep hands of in State
campaigns; or, if its assistance be inyi,.
ed, it may interfere only on behalf O..
the populist ticket and not to assist in
fusson. In sending out the call for the
convention the chairman and secretary
must make clear the terms laid down in
this compromise. The effort to force
Chairman Butler to resign proved futile
and he will continue to act I'm Il the
next rational convention in 1900.

WAR NOTES.

Admiral SIMPSONS fleet again bonn
barded the forts at the entrance to San
tiago harbor yesterday. One of the forts
was destroyed and others were badly
damaged. Ia fifteen minutes one west
ern battery was completely wrecked.
The Massachusetts tore gaping hole
in the emplecements with thousand
pound projectile and the Texas drop
ped shell into the powder magazine.
The explosion wrought terrible havoc.
Moro Castle, in which Lieut.. Hobson
and his men are confined, was spared.
At first the Spaniards replied active
ly and wildly, but impotently. Then
most of their guns were deserted. Not
ship was struck nor man injured on
the American side. 1t is believed that
the enemy's loss of life was heavy. As
preliminary to the hammering given
the batteries the dynamite cruiser We
suvius the night before at midnight was
given a second chance. She threw sew
eral gun cotton proiectiles at the Span
ism torpedo boat destroyers in Santiago
harDor, with a result not as yet def
nitely known. She also threw q pro-
jectle which tore great hole III Cayo

The Spauiards have been sending
large reinforcements in preparation for
an attack in mass on the marines
encamped on the shore of Guam
tanamo bay, Cuba. American war
ships tried to check this move
ment, but failed, as they could not
get near enough to the reinforcing
parties to do any damage. A heavy
attack on the marines was momentarily
expected at last accounts. American
warships bomb arded the forts about Cal
manera and soon silenced them.
General Skaters invading army is
expected to arrive of Santiago to-mor-
row. Another expedition, carrying
900 troops as reinforcements to San.
tiago, is in progress.
The War Department announces that
about thirty Eve transports will be
used for tie Porto Rico expedition.
This indicates that from Il, 900 to 10000
men will be taken along. Late reports
show that the number of Spanish
soldiers 10 Porto Rico is larger than
was formerly supposed, and it is also
expected that large number of native
volunteers will be pressed into service.
The Bank of Spain has agreed to
place 2S, 100000 pesetas (about $500,
