The San Francisco call., 1898-06-18

the conference of the Populist National Committee adjourned without day. The final outcome was the practical rout of the middle le-of-the-road" crowd under the leadership of Milton Parke, although the liberal wing made some concessions.
 The last conference held last night was on the admission of J. R. Sover- eign as a proxy delegate from Iowa. This was finally dropped, and the com- mtItee got down to work on the main report of the conference committee. This was modified in some of it's main points and adopted.
 There will be no convention in 1899 to outline the policy of the party, but in 1900 there will be an early conven- tion to nominate a national ticket, the same to be held prior to the Demo- cratic Convention. No overture look ing to fusion will emanate from the National Committee and none will be received and entertained by it. The Ma tional Committee Is required to keep hands off in State campaigns; or, if it's assistance be invited it may interfere only on behalf of the Populist ticket and not to assist in fusion. In sending out the call for the convention the chairman and the secretary must make clear the terms as laid down in this compromise.
 The effort to force Chairman Butler to resign proved futile, and he will con- tinue to act until the next national con- vention in 1900.

OMAHA, June 1.-The so-called na- tional organization committee of the Peoples party, of which Milton Parke of Dallas, Tex, is chairman, and which was chosen at the Nashville conference of the middle e-of-the-roaders' on July last, about all it's members being edi- tors of the so-called National Reform Press Association, has decided to bolt outright and call an independent con- vention to be held on September 4 at Cincinnati for the purpose of reorganiz- ing the Peoples party.
 The call was issued this evening as the result of the two meetings held following the adjournment of the Pop ulist committee. It was drafted joint ly by Milton Parke, Wharton Barker of Philadelphia, who is the middle-of- the-road candidate for President in 1900 and J. A. Parker of Louisville, Ky, secretary of the Refrom Press Associa- tion.

WASHINGTON, June IT. - Major General Miles, general in chief of the army, accompanied by Colonel Maus, Major Davis and Colonel Greenleaf of his staff, arrived In Washington to-day after having directed the departure of the first army of invasion of Cuba. General Miles looked hale and hearty, despite the three weeks inceSsant work of bringing order out of chaos in the hurriedly concentrated army He con- ferred with Secretary Alger for half an hour before the Cabinet meeting and then had long talk with General Lud- ington, quartermaster general, on the condition of the quartermaster's SUD- plies. Speaking in a general way, of his observations, General Miles said:
 Having spent some time with the troops during a trying period of hur rfed preparations, l am glad to say that they are a splendid body of men, which the country may well be proud of. As to the regulars, they are the finest corps in the world without any excep- tion, in physical development, efficien- cy, experience, discipline, marksman ship, equipment and all that goes to make up firSt-claSS soldiers. Of course, the volunteer army is not so well equip ped. Some of the States sent men into the field in very good condition, notably Massachusetts and New York. Others sent their quotas without arms, equip ment or clothing. They were not sol ders at all, only employed men. It takes time to make soldiers of these men. There must be uniforms, arms, ammunition, equipment, camp equip page, tentage, transportation and hos pital supplies. Then, in addition, they have to have ordnance, artillery, siege trains, entrenching tools, horse equip ment, engineering appliances of all kinds, balloon appliances, etc.
 After that comes the moving of an army across the sea, with all the dan gers and vicissitudes of an ocean voy- age. The work, with its infinite detail, has been carried out, I am glad to say, command of 15,000 men under General Shafter moved away with an outburst of patriotic enthusiasm which over came the trials they had passed through.
 General Miles attention was directed to the reports coming from Tampa of great confusion and delay in prepar- ing the expedition and getting it off for Cuba.
 Yes" said he, there were causes contributing to this delay. Tn the first place, the postoffice service at these points of army concentration is very deficient They have the same facilities and no more, as the local towns have when normal conditions exist. When 20, 900 to 50,000 men are added to the population of the small towns, and all the men are sending and receiving let

Spain's Queen Regent Was Persuaded to Delay

But Now It Is Believed She WILL Soon Renounce Her Rights In

Queen Regent to beg her to give un' the scheme for the present. They told her that under the present circumstances her publication would seem like flight and would be very badly construed by the country.
 Premier Sagasta was so persuasive that he obtained the following replYi from the Queen Regent:

Delay in the Departure Gave the Cubans a Good Opportunity
 to Cooperate.

ters from their friends and relatives at home, besides the large amount of off, cial business carried on, the local post office facilities are entirely inadequate. That has been one of the troubles at Tampa, Chickamauga and other places, and as a result the official communica- tion to and from the War Department on which depend the regularity of movement of many kind of stores, has been seriously delayed. Then, in gath
 ering the munitions of war for an army, it was necessary to have the ser vice of great number of trains loaded with stores, crowding the meager rail- road lines far beyond their usual capac- ity. However, this is being straighten-
 ed out now and nearly all of it has been overcome.
 'The troops at Tampa are in very good health, both those who went for
 ward with General Shafter and those
 still remaining. The sick list is less than 1 per cent, which is an exception ally good record. The spirit of the men also Is of the best. and this was shown
 in a most marked manner when the transports started for Cuba last Tues day. They were all anxious to go and there were wild scenes of enthusiasm and cheering as the men marched
 aboard and the ships got under way Whenever a band played the national
 air, every head was uncovered. The
 men seemed to realize the importance
 of their enterprise, as well as the pa-
 triotic responsibility it involved
 "There have been many very splen- did acts of heroism, even in the brief time the troops have been employed, :" continued General Miles. Lieutenant Rowan, now lieutenant colonel, and Lieutenant Wilcox, now captain, in making their journey to Eastern Cuba and Porto Rico, gave splendid illus trations of the courage, fortitude and resources of the American soldier. | Three expeditions which carried arms to the Cubans have developed the fin est kind of courage. Captain Connell | and Lieutenant Crawford, who partici- pated in these expeditions, were with the Cubans during sharp engagement
 with the enemy. Captain Dorst's sev-
 eral expeditions have been of great
 service to the Government, his last one in particular being important in re- suits. He started from Key West, but | instead of going direct to Cuba he went north and east of Nassau, then turned south and landed In Cuba at a port | called Banes.
 'It has been held by the Cubans and | Is a good harbor, with about twenty feet of water. Protected by a small gunboat Captain Dorst landed a steam ers load of supplies for the Cuban army, including 7500 rifles, over mill lion cartridges and a great quantity of
 stores. A thousand Cubans came to him while there.
 "The special importance of this trip, however, was in opening direct com munication between General Garcia

MADRID, June 1.-The news con- corning the abdication of the Queen Regent of Spain, which was given by the Temps without details, was very half -heartedly denied in the Madrid press to-day.
 The Queen Regent, much depressed by the sad condition of the country and the Spanish peoples lack of sympathy for her, made up her mind a fortnight ago to renounce her rights and title as regent in favor of the Infanta Isabella, a sister of tn late King Alfonso XII. This Princess, who is Spanish in heart and mind, is much beloved throughout the kingdom. The Queen Regent thought that by yielding the regency to her she would disarm the adversaries of the existing regime and rally all the sympathies around the little King She even formed the resolution of quit ting Spain for a time after her abdica- ton with her two daughters, leaving the young sovereign to reign and the new regent.
 She summoned Premier Sagasta and eloquently laid her plan before him. This occurred on Wednesday last. A ministerial council was held after which all the members visited the

and myself. Two of Garcia's staff of- ficers had returned from Cuba with Rowan and came to Washington to see me. One of these I sent to Banes with the supplies of arms, with instructions to General Garcia, saying I wanted him to move all his forces to Santiago de Cuba. He had by that time been fully equipped by Colonel Dorst The mes sage to General Garcia was sent June 2. reaching him June 6, and I got his reply by cable from Mole St. Nicholas June 9. He had about 5000 armed CubanS before he received the muni- tions of war by Captain Dorst. The supplies sent him will enable Garcia to adequately equip over 15.000 Cubans."
 General Miles was asked for the con- munications between him and General Garcia, and. glancing over them, he gave their general purport. He said:
 "In my communication to him, l ask ed him to move as large force as pos sible to the vicinity of the harbor of Santiago de Cuba, and to cooperate with our army and navy on their arri- val, which I hoped would be within a few days. He was to drive in and harrass any Spanish troops near San tiago de Cuba, threatening and attack ing them at all points and preventing any endorsements from reaching that point. Pending the arrival of our troops he was to seize any positions east or west of Santiago or both, which could be used to advantage by our ar tillery. He replied that he would re- gard my wishes and suggestions as or ders and would immediately adopt measures to concentrate his forces as directed.
 "All his subordinates are ordered to assist in the disembarking of the United States troops and to place themselves under orders. General Gar cia said he believed it possible for the artillery positions to be taken as I had suggested. He sent force at once to to Santiago. The energy of his course Is shown by the reports of the last few days, for l see that General Rabi and his men have taken a strong position just west of Santiago. While there were unavoidable delays at Tampa, very annoying to myself and others, I, at least, had the consolation of know ing that every day enabled the Gu bans to make their march across the country and get possession of positions which would be of the greatest value to our troops when they landed"
 General Miles does not apprehend any longer serious delays in disembark- ing the troops on Cuban soil. The transports have a large number of small boats to assist in this work. The engineering corps has large barges and a pontoon train by which they can put together floating pier, so that, un- less there Is a very rough sea or the men are compelled to disembark in the surf, which is not anticipated, the dis embarkation is expected to proceed rapidly. When General Miles was asked if he expected an early fight he answered laconically: That's what they've gone for"
