FARGO IN. d., July 12.-Both the
Populist and Democratic State Con-
ventions met here to-day The Popu-
lists adopted a platform which is a COM
bination of those adopted at ST. Louis
and Omaha. The Democrats indorsed
the Chicago platform. A joint confer
ence committee reported in favor OF
calling the fusion party independent

The Democrats adopted the name,
authorized a committee to name candi-
dates for Governor Attorney General,
Secretary of State, Justice of the Su-
preme Court and one Railroad Com
missioner for the Democrats, and ad-
journed.
The Populists debated the adoption of
the name till midnight without r achin :
a decision. The word Democrat is
the cause of their disagreement. Mel
ther party can get on the official ballot
except by petition if the fusion sched-
ule fails.

TORAL AGAIN REFUSES.
Troops Have Him Where
He Cannot Escaue

i He Cannot Escape.
{Copyright 1898, by the Associated Press.)
BEFORE SANTIAGO (via Playa del
} Este, Guantanamo. Bay,) July 12-
i This morning General Toral sent out a
reply to General Skaters second de-
mand for the unconditional surrender
of Santiago, made by the latter yester-
day afternoon.
In his reply. General Toral referred
to his refusal to accede to the American
demand made on Sunday and again
reiterated, his determination to resist.
Notwithstanding this, the American
batteries did not open fire this morning,
and the renewal of the bombardment
will probably. be postponed until to-
morrow "wednesday, when it is hoped
that all of General Randolph's batter
les will be in position. The siege guns
landed yesterday will also be brought
up as soon as possible.
Torrents of rain fell last night,
drowning out the boys in the trenches
and making the road almost impass-
able. This may delay the batteries and
siege guns. The volunteers who are be-
ing hurried on to the front are being
located along the right center in the
positions which have been occupied by
General Lawton's division, while the
latter has moved forward down to the
right, until he controls the road to
Gaines, along which Toral would have
to retreat should he now be foolhardy
enough to make the attempt.
The Cubans under General CaliXto
Garcia took Gaines without opposition
on Monday night and have intrench-
ments on either side of the road. The
Americans are now in position to
strike the enemy in the left flank and
roll it up, making the Spanish intrench-
ments north of the city untenable.
General Toral, realizing the weak
ness of this flank, has been busy dur
ing the existence of the truce in doub-
ling back with intrenchments and fix
ing his guns in the direction from
which he is threatened. Most of Gen
eral Randolph's guns will be located
upon the nights in the center of Gen
eral Lawton's new position. where they
command the town. Yesterday after
noon the Capron and Haines batteries
on the right succeeded in tearing up
the emplacements for a palm" bat
terry, as it is called, and in pumping
| shells into several blockhouses on
Salients, but the shots directed at the
/
pear to have much effect Shrapnel
We're rapidly broken directly over the
| trenches, yet in five minutes the
| trenches at every point Of explosion
would be alive with the enemy. They
would watch for the flashes Of our
guns, and drop before the shells ex-
ploded.
Our mortar fire was directed at the
! Spanish bull-ring, and tore up almost
everything in the vicinity. 1t is un-
derstood the bull-ring is being used as
a barracks.
| Three large steamers lie in the har-
| Dor alongside the Philadelphia Iron
| Company's wharf, and a small Spanish
gunboat is anchored at the head of the
| bay. All these could be plainly seen
| by the Associated Press correspondent.
| The First Illinois Volunteers and the
| District of Columbia Volunteers are
now located in the trenches that We're
occupied last week by General Chaffee's
brigade.

NEW YORK, July 12.-Two explo-
sions which killed eleven men, wounded
about twenty others and wrecked two
buildings, occurred at the plant of the
Lafiin-R Rand Powder Works at Pomp-
ton, N. J., to-day. The first explosion
was in the house where guncotton was
being made and the second, presumably
superinduced by conclusion, was in the
drying house, close by. Three men
were in the mixing room when the ex-
plosion occurred and they We're blown to
atoms. Chief Engineer Craig who was
in the engine room, had his head
crushed to a jelly in the wreckage of
the boiler house, the side of which was
blown out. John Philips was stand
ing near tree some distance away. His
body was frightfully torn by the force
of the explosion, and his clothing was
whipped from his body.
The foreman of the drying room was
also blown to pieces and a number of
Italians who were digging a trench in
the rear of the building We're killed. The
most seriously injured was William En-
mons, private of Company l. New Jer-
sey Volunteers. He was horribly torn
by flying splinters. 1t is not likely
that he Will recover. Charles Lukes,
of Butler, was also probably fatally in
iured.
The first explosion was at about half
past 10 o'clock. Before the noise and
roar of it died away, there was a sec
ond. louder and more terrific than the
first. The roar was heard for miles and
the concussion broke windows in all
directions. The explosion was fol-
lowed by a fire which threatened to
spread to the other buildings of the
plant. in which tons of high explosives
were stored.
Five companies of the Third New Jer-
sey Volunteers have been stationed at
the plant since the war with Spain be-
gan, and they were ordered under arms
and went TO the scene of the explosion
at double quick time. Within ten min
utes the soldiers had formed a Gordon
about the entire works and soon the
firemen were at work trying to quench
the flames. Almost Immediately after
the explosion the anxious relatives of
the men working at the mill congregat-
