of the Spanish colonies who cooper
ated with our forces against our enemy
in the late war.
1--WE are unalterably opposed to the
assumption by this government of any
portion of the debts Of Spain incurred
in maintaining her sovereignty in Cuba,
and to the imposition of any portion
thereof upon the people of that island
or to any recognition thereof"
The platform denounces the measure
adopted by the Fifty-fifth congress
providing for refunding the debts of
the Central Pacific and pledges all
legislative candidates not to vote for
any candidate for United States SEN
ator who is not opposed to any ex-
tension of the period of payment of
the railroad debts.
SAN PEDRO HARBOR.
In reference to the San Pedro harbor
appropriation, the platform says: I'VE
denounce the persistent and long con-
tinued efforts of the present secretary
of war to prevent the Improvement of
the public harbor of San Pedro and his
persistent efforts to divert the sums
of money appropriated by congress for
that purpose 20 the improvement of
the private harbor of the Southern Pa
cific company to Santa Monica, Cal,
and the Democratic congressman from
California are hereby pledged to use
every effort to prevent such diversion
of any portion of the $4,000 600 appro-
priated for the construction of the
harbor at San Pedro to any other pur-
pose than the construction of the
breakwater and the deepening of the
inner harbor at that point"
The platform concludes: I'VE favor
the immediate extension of the con-
tract labor laws of the United States
to the Hawaiian islands and all further
territory that may be hereafter an
nexed to the United States. We are
opposed to the employment of convict
labor in competition with free labor
and favor the passage of law by the
congress of the United States combining
the sale of goods, wares and mer-
chandise manufactured by convict
labor to the state or territory in which
they are produced"

Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 1S.-This
morning General Wood, military gov
ernor of Santiago, increased the local
police force with additions from vari-
Gus regiments. There has been some
trouble from soldiers who have dis
obeyed orders, and there have been
several riots, at least one murder and
a good deal of drunkenness, so that an
exceptionally large force is needed to
preserve order.
This morning the Eighth Illinois vol
unteers (colored) entered upon patrol
duty.
The First infantry leaves today by
the Miller. There are seven Spanish
transports in the harbOr, awaiting the
embarkation of Spanish troops, of
which more than 1000 will leave today.
The general appearance of the men is
pitiful There has been much sickness
among them, and within the last two
days over 200 bodies have been buried
The death rate in the city is above
80 per day. The heavy rains increase
the fever among the soldiers and the
inhabitants alike.
The Massachusetts Aid association
hospital ship Bay State is expected to
arrive tonight from Guantanamo bay.
Hospital supplies and nurses are
needed. Large QuanIlJleS OF supplies
have already been distributed by DR..
E. G. Bracket of the aid association,
who arrived two weeks ago. All the
hospital ships leaving here are under
orders to return, as the number of sick
is too large for the present service The
fever is increasing among the remain
ing troops.
The Third regiment of immunes, I'M
der command OF Colonel Ray, arrived
here this afternoon on the AIinnewaska.
Four thousand Spanish troops have
already been shipped and the trans
ports Villa Dongd and Estrada Panai
will leave tomorrow with 1900 more.
General Toral says more transports
will be needed than have been pro-
vided. Six thousand Spaniards at
Guantanamo bay cannot leave before
the last of the month. Sickness is
increasing among them.
The statement is made on good au-
thority that General Shafter will leave
on Saturday.
General Wood today ordered the sale
of whisky, beer and wines stopped
everywhere, and provided severe pen
alties for infractions of the rule. Res
taurant keepers are greatly depressed
by this order, which confines their sale
of drinks to coffee and lemonade.

INSTRUCTIONS TO MERRITT.
Insurgents Must Recognize Author J
of the United States.


Washington, Aug. 1S.-The war de-
partment today made public the order
sent to General Merritt last evening
regarding the occupation of the city of
Manila by the American forces. The
order follows:
major General Merritt, Manila:
THE president directs that there
must be no joint occupation with the
insurgents. The Americans are in pos
session of Manila City, Manila bay and
harbor. and must preserve the peace
and protect persons within the terri
tory occupied by their military and
naval forces.
THE insurgents and all others must
recognize the military occupation and
authority of the United States and the
cessation Of hostilitieS proclaimed by
the president. Use whatever means in
your judgment necessary to this end.
All law-abiding people must be treated
alike.
BY order Of the secretary of war.
III c. CORBIN,
"Adjutant General
The officials of the department hope
there may be no trouble with the in
surgents in the Philippines. although
the dispatches which have been re-
ceived and published in the press. to-
gether with the demands of Aguinaldo
for joint occupation, has indicated
temper on the part of the insurgent
leaders which is not satisfactory. The
text of the presidents order cannot be
misunderstood, and the insurgents will
be kept out of Manila, and the city,
bay and harbor will be held as an
American possession. The possibility
Of an attack on the city by the insur-
gent forces has been considered, but
as the insurgents, with the bay in pos
session of Admiral Dewey and 10000
troops in the vicinity for a month past,
were unable to cause the surrender of
the city, it is not believed that they
will be very formidable against the
authority of General Merritt

CHOSEN BY DISTRICTS.
Albany March Especial. Cottle
Of Onondaga County. to-day proposed amend
ment to the election laws which would cause all
but two Of the Presidential electors Of New-York
TO be elected by Congress districts. instead Of by
the stat, at large present. His bill reads
follows:
Section 1-section ls Of Chapter CMIX OF the
Laws OF 1896, entitled AN act in relation 10 the
elections. constituting Chapter VI of the General
Laws" is hereby amended to read follows:
Electors Of President and ViceePresdent-At the
general election in November preceding the time
fixed by the law of the United States for the choice
OF a President and Vice-President of the United
States there shall be elected by general ticket as
many electors-at-large OF President and Vice
President this State shall be entitled TO. and
each elector in this State shall have right to
chosen having the highest number OF votes
shall be declared and be duly appointed electorsat
large. There shall also be elected in each Congress
district one elector who shall be nominated and
elected in the manner as Representative in
Congress.
II this act should be passed thirty-four electors
would be elected in the Congress districts and two
electors by the State at large. Thus the vote OF
New-York State would surely be divided in the
Electoral Collegs. The Michigan plan of choos-
ing Presidential electors. however has not met
with great favor. and II is doubtful II tho Repub-
licans OF this State will confess early 1898
that they have lost hope Of winning in 1900.
