SANTIAGO POLICE.
Mounted Force Will Consist Entirely
of CubanS.


Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 29.-Arrange-
ments have been completed for the
formation of a force of Cuba mounted
police for the province of Santiago. 1t
consists of a commandment, with the
rank of major, three captains, six
lieutenants, ten sergeantS and 240 en-
listed men. The rates of pay for the
enlisted men are the same as in the
United States army, while the officers
get two-thirds. General Castillo has
charge of the preliminaries of the ap-
pointmentS. He must select capable
men, who have only served in the Gu
ban army, and the officers must have
held similar or higher rank in the
Cuban army.
This police force will have a large
territory to cover, and it is expected
that as soon as the Cuban troops dis
band the lawless element will break
loose and viii have to be kept in check.
Even at present quantities of cattle are
stolen and complaints are frequent to
General Wood and General Castillo,
and they are determined to put an end
to this state of affairs.
The Cubans are beginning to under
stand that the sudden change they
wanted after the surrender would have
caused disorder and confusion, while
now every day number of Cubans
are appointed to positions of power
and emOlument

CHAIRMAN M,MILLAN.

On taking the chair, Judge Mcmillan
made an eloquent but entirely extern
poraneous address. He opened with a
HUMOROUS rub at Joseph Hall, the pa
triarch of the convention, who had
been appointed a committee of one to
conduct him to the chair. He said, in
part:
Ladies and Gentlemen-ThiS is a
critical time, and one requiring the ut
most care. There is no mistake about
Democratic principles; there is no mis-
take about the people wanting to elect
Democratic representatives to serve
them, but it behooves us to use the
utmost care and judgment in the Sc
lection of your candidates for these
important offices.
Il say to you that no man who is I'M
able 20 succeed in his own business is
fit to be entrusted with the vast inter
ests of the commonwealth.
Another qualification to consider is,
if he is a Democrat? Is he firm and
steadfast in the principles, or does ne
sway with every breath of opinion that
comes along?
There is among the people of Utah
a hard innate sense of right which
smooth-tongued politicians, when they
go amongst them, cannot overcome.
The people are always right-nearly
always right, at least, and their votes
will show it when counted.
This has been a most trying time. A
number of our political associates have
seen fit to draw off and work independ-
emily of US. I miss several OF my former
associates, and for several days l know
I have been under scrutiny. ] say that
there need be no doubt where 1 stand
as long as my party declares for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to l. l will be in the
forefront Of the battle working for
this cause.
81 desire to say to you. ladies and
gentlemen, that if a proper mode of pro-
cedure is adopted, if we are careful not
to offend those wEo differ with us and
if we use tact and consideration we
will have many of them back with us

E. A. Mcdaniel seconded the nomi-
nation of the present incumbent of the
office. whom he had known for 20 years
as a man of honesty and integrity. The
party needed his services and the ex-
ample of his conscientious work.
u. Ballantyne seconded the nominal
ton of James Bues, calling attention
to the tacit understanding that the
county was entitled to one of the prin-
cipal offices of the county.
George Shorten and John Krouse sec
ended the nomination of Mr.. Bues.
Mr.. Gideon seconded the nomination
of Mr.. Farr, alleging that the county
had a representative on the ticket al
ready. in the nominee for sheriff, whose

The above constitutes the ticket NOM
mated yesterday by the Democratic
county convention, which proved one of
the most enthusiastic ever held in the
county. For many of the offices there
was no opposition, and the present in
cumbents got the nominations by ac-
clamation. There was, however, a
lively contest for the offices of county
commissioners, for the clerkship and
for the position of representative.
An effort of the Cannon people to
score a point met with dismal fail
ure. A resolution introduced favoring
him was hauled down, notwithstand-
ing shouters in the gallery who tried to
work up enthusiasm. The country del
egates made a determined stand for
representation and got it, though not
just the positions they wanted.
CALLED TO ORDER.
1t was 11:30 when the convention was
called to order by Chairman Conroy,
who named as temporary chairman Mr..
John Seaman of Pleasant View and D.
NJ. Faddis of West Weber as tempo
rary secretary. Mr.. Seaman, on TAX
ing the chair, expressed his pleasure
at being the recipient of such an
honor. 1t was an honor even to be a
member of a Democratic convention.
The Democratic party owes no man
anything, but every Democrat owes
everything to his party. However Dem

TINE NOT OPPORTUNE FOR PEACE.

close OF the Cortes there IS much speculation as
10 political changes A reconstructed and semi
military Cabinet is talked or This must not be
taken as indicating an increase in the warllke
spirit On the contrary. It is explained that
this would mean a determination to conclude
peace as soon as Il can be obtained consistently
with national honor semi military CABINET
in touch with the army and with the courage Of
its opinions. would be best qualified for carry
ing out the resolute peace policy which the in
terests Of the country require.
In support OF the view that the time has
come for entering upon such course It Is
pointed out in various quarters that voices
are heard demanding peace at almost any price
One or two letters in this sense have appeared
in the press and the manifesto Of the Union
Catalanista is TO the same effect. These man
.festations are interesting and may prove symp-
tomato. but 1t would be. in my opinion. mis-
take 70 attribute 10 them at present much i'm
portance. They do not represent the great mass
OF the political. industrial and commercial ee
ments OF the population.
The impression have received from recent
conversations with oficiel personages Is that
the members Of the Cabinet do not consider the
present or the immediate future as an opportune
moment for opening peace negotiations"
