LEADERS OF DEMOCRACY.
They Are Gathering at Syracu
for Their Sfnte Convention

They Are Gathering at Syracuse
for Their State Convention.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, Sept. 26.-Many Of
the delegates to the Democratic state
convention on Wednesday are here to-
night. Each candidate for a place upon
the state ticket Is we'll represented.
Among the first upon the ground was
the Erie county delegation, and the
gubernatorial boom of Justice Robert
G.. Titus was among the earliest to be
launched here. Mayor James K. Nc
Cures friends are naturally numerous
and enthusiastic in his home town.
Judge Titus will not appear personally
in the convention, but members of the
Erie county delegation nowhere claim
for him the solid delegation Of the
Eighth judicial district, representing
eighty votes.
All the Tammany delegates have not
yet arrived, but there are a sufficient
number here to keep the talk of Mayor
Van Wyck's candidacy before the pub
lie. His chances, however, received a
setback tonight when members of the
Erie county delegation announced that
Mr.. Croker had stated to them that
the candidate for governor would not
be named from territory south of AL
bany.
Mr.. Croker has stated from the be-
ginning that Tammeny Hall had not
ard would not have a candidate for
a position on the state ticket. These
assertions have given renewed hope to
the friends of the candidates from up
the state, and the canvass is being
prosecuted with vigor tonight.
David B Hill arrived at o'clock to-
night and spent the evening in con-
ference with political friends. The
friends of some of the candidates i'm
patiently await the meeting of the
state committee tomorrow BY many
1t is thought the places upon the ticket
will be practically determined at that
time, while others as confidently as
sert that 1t Is to remain an open con-
vention and to be left to the delegates
to name the different candidates.
The Chicago platform delegates will
hold their conference at the city hall
tomorrow night and will make a de-
termined effort to have the convention
indorse absolutely the last national
Democratic convention platform, espe-
cially as 1t relates to the free coinage
of silver. 1t is doubtful, however, If
the state platform will come out une-
quivocally for that plank.

GILL MURDER MYSTERY.
An Alleged Confession Made by One
of the Prisoners.


BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Sept. 26.-The
complaint against Oxley and Guernsey
in the Gill murder cas-, was changed
today from attempt to procure an abor-
ton to that of manslaughter. Guernsey
is out on bail, but Oxley is still In
jail. 1t was learned today that the
brother of Harry Oxley, who visited
him at the jail yesterday, took into his
confidence a friend In this city and
told him the substance Of a confession
alleged to have been made to the police
by the arrested man. This brother said
that when Harry was arrested his
mother told him to tell the whole truth
in the case and this Is his story:
Emma Gill told me of her condi-
ton, and I told Guernsey, and the lat
ter told me to marry the girl, If l felt
sure the responsibility was mine.
went to Emma Gill and expressed my
willingness to marry her, but she said
this was entirely unnecessary. She
said she knew Dr. Guilford and that
he could cure her of her trouble by an
operation and she would get out of
trouble that way She did not wish
to marry me, because there was an
other fellow Foster) who wanted to
marry her and who did not know her
real character. He would give her a
better home, she thought, than I could,
and she considered him a better
match -

LONDON, Sept. 27-The Daily News
this morning commences the publica-
ton Of a series of articles, which, it
alleges, explain the Dreyfus affair. To-
days article concerns the resignation
by M. Casimir Perier of the French
presidency. The article says:
The persons in the secret are the
kaiser, Count Won Munster, NJ Dupuy,
M. Hanitaux, Gen. Mercier, Gen. Bois-
deffre, Col. Schwarzkoppen, Count
EsterhaZy and the late Henri Sand
herr. Besides the French ministry,
others had a copy of the dossier in
their possession.
I'm December, 1894, a detailed ac-
count of the Dreyfus affair which
Count Munster sent by the usual cour-
ier to the kaiser was intercepted and
photographed on the French frontier.
1t reached the kaiser a few days later
This fact became known to the infOr-
nation bureau at Berlin, and the Ger
man government instructed Count Won
Munster to demand his passports, for
the offenSe was regarded as robbery,
and an offense to Emperor William,
committed on extra territorial ground
When Count Munster demanded his
passports, M. Casimir Perier was over

revelation, and was beside himself

forty eight hours later.
Some days later, Jan IL, 1895, Count
Munster called at the Palace Elysee
and suddenly announced that Germany
would mobilize her troops forthwith,
unless satisfaction was given for this
new insult. A demonstration followed.
Count Munster collapsed a prey to
violent feelings, reproaching NJ. Casimir
Perier With having dishonored him In
the eyes of the emperor
m. Casimir Perier was crushed and
could not reply at first, but finally
said:
Tell your emperor that I, myself,
wish to sacrifice the country. I will
leave the presidency p. ay his majesty
to be satisfied

The Daily Chronicle this morning
publishes a letter from Conbere, in
which the writer declares that Ester
hazy himself sold the documents men
toned in the bordereau to Schwarzkop-
pen, together with $50 other documents,
and that Col. Schwarzkoppen paid Es-
terhazy ESQ monthly for two years for
espionage. He denies that Col Sand
horr ordered Esterhazy to write the
bordereau, and appeals to the latter
to tell the whole truth instead of silly
falsehoods, and to frankly confess that
he never felt himself to be French
officer" which would explain,if not JUS
tify, his conduct.

(By courtesy of ]. H. Stahl.)
MANILA, Aug. 1--we are in the
trenches in front of Manila and ex-
pect to give the decisive blow tomor-
row. Our regiment has not as yet
taken an active part in any battle, al
though we were on the fire line for
the twenty-four hours just passed, on
outpost duty. We are right on top
Of the Dons, our line being only 400
yards from them. It made us feel a
little nervous, for they have been in
the habit of sending their shells over
here every night, in an effort to get
US started, but we were not quite
ready and would not respond. Now,
however, we have most of our guns
ready; the entertainments fixed and
will give them hot time"
The only heavy firing done was on
the first night Of our arrival, about a
week ago, when they cut off our out
post, the Tenth Pennsylvania, and got
at the reserves. The Utah battery,
however, got in some fine work and
made the enemy retreat. just in time,
for the Pennsylvania boys only had
one cartridge apiece left. The Span
killed and about forty-five wounded. 1
tell you, 1t was a grand sight from
where we were.
1t was about 10 p. m. when the fire
started, and we could see the bursting
Of shells and the cannons and rifles
spit fire, and hear the roar Of battle.
I tell you it made us itch to get into
the fracas and take part in the fun -
But we are under orders and must do
as we are told.
We are camped about 100 yards from
the coast Of the China sea, on a
pleasant plateau, and live in little
dog" tents, two feet high by four
feet long; two men in a tent; there
is no front flap, and our feet stick out
in the rain.
This is about the worst place on
earth. 1t rains twenty hours out of
every twenty-four, and during the time
1t is not raining it is so hot you can
not move. Our clothes are always wet
If not from the rain, from perspiration,

honest. We have to send an armed
guard with them to haul our goods

Col. Hay for Alliance.

Col. John Hay, the new secretary of state,
had this to say to the New York reporters,
when he landed in New York last week:
"As to an Anglo-American alliance, that
is a subject that is still in the future. 1t is
desirable, but in what shape it shall come Is
prob!ematical. I can say without reservation
that the feeling in England toward this coun-
try is of the most cordial character. So
deeply rooted is it and so intimately identi-
fed with English people that politicians can
not change it. No ministry would dare to
defy it."

with the Astor battery. At Santa Anna
church there was a sharp engagement.
The Astor battery had two guns there,
but the fire was so hot they were driven
away from them and two sergeants
were shot dead. They made a pretty
but hopeless revolver charge, but were
driven back with several men wound
ed. Our men retook their guns for
them, and here Oscar Seebach and
Capt Bjornstad were shot.
Here it was, too, that the Thirteenth
distinguished itself.
RAKING FIRE.
The Spanish troops were raking the
road with hail of Mauser bullets. We
were ordered up the road. Capt. Bjorn-
stad called for volunteers. From the
lot who responded he took twelve, and
they dropped behind a log and opened
fire. The captain fired three rifles un-
til they were clogged up and ran out
of ammunition. Getting up to go back
for more cartridges, he was shot-and
in the back. He was dragged back 10
cover and stripped to the waist. The
blood was streaming from a bullet
hole in his right shoulder Tearing
away from those who were examining
his wounds, he started for the log
again, only to be dropped by ball
through his right shoulder.
The American troops scattered
through the jungle and opened fire on
the Spanish earthworks. The Spanish
then retreated, and over the little
church floated the same stars and
stripes that had already been hOisted,
as we afterwards learned, In the city
Of Manila, for we were a little late in
the fighting.
1t was at this church, too, that Archie
Patterson, bugler of Company l, was
killed Lieut.. Col. Ames had directed
Capt Corriston to take I and and
reinforce the firing line, telling Pat

hardly started, when, as the men turn

by the people generally. He held that
the statements charged could not have
affected the discipline of the navy. He
also argued that there was no denial Of
the alleged statements and no charge
of malicious intent, and that the charg-
es of fraud in the building of vessels
were against contractors and not
against the naval department
Judge Advocate Laucheimer replied
briefly, and the court denied the mo-
ton to quash.
The prisoner then entered a plea of
not guilty and the court adjourned
