erals, who can fully appreciate
the backbone displayed by the
president in turning the whole
crowd down for good and all. Of
the eleven major generals whose
nominations have been sent to
the senate all, except four, are
officers in the regular army. The
four outsiders named for major
generals are all men who have
brilliant military records in the
late war---Senator Sewall, of N.
j., and Gen. James III. Wilson, of
Delaware, representing the Union
army, and Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, of
Va, and Gen. Joseph Wheeler,
of Ala, representing the southern
army.
The following conversation
occurred at the White House be-
tween ex-senator Butler, of South
Carolina, who has been strongly
recommended for a commission in
the regular army, and Secretary
Alger: Alger---"How is your
health now, Butler? You look as
young as you did twenty years
ago" Butler---''Well, all | can
say is that / secured a $4,000
increase in my life insurance a
few months ago, and the exam
ing surgeon says | am good for
twenty-five years yet. There is
one thing certain---I cannot take
the yellow fever in this exhibit
ing his wooden leg with a
chuckle; ''you Yankees filled its
predecessor full of lead in the
llate war, and I have the bullets
with me as souvenirs" General
Butler is past sixty years old, but
so is Commodore Dewey.

The victory of Commodore
Dewey in Manila bay is one that
surpasses anything of equal Lag
nitude in history. With six gun
boats he attacks an enemy nearly
double the strength OF his own
squadron, supported by forts and
batteries, annifilates the fleet of
eleven warships and several
smaller craft, captures the forts
and never loses a man, the casul-
ties on board his fleet being eight
men slightly wounded by the ex-
plosion of a box of ammunition
which was struck by a Spanish
she'll. The loss of the enemy
was over 1900 in killed and
wounded. Surely, the God of
battle seems to extending a pro-
tecting arm over the forces of
the United States, who may be
the chosen ones to administer
dire punishment upon the naughty
Spaniards for the many acts of
lnhuman1ty and cruelty perpe-
rated by that nation in the past.

try at large to thank the regiment,

Your record is one he said, "of

to Santiago, and that you hardly
stopped until you arrived there
You have not only done WE'LL he

Camp Montauk.

to be one unmiStakeable case of yellow

convalescent soldiers from the hospitals

Magruder, had been ordered back to
Washington, in the absence of antici-
patton of the receipt of any more yell
low fever cases. General Wheeler de-
cided to send one of the camp surgeons
to inspect the Seguranca and to ar
range for the removal of the sick to the
detention hospital, which will lgave to
be reopened. The yellow fever patient
on board the Seguranca is isolated and
will be kept on the vessel for the pres
ent.

were not able to care for themselves,
and 50 convalescents. All these men
will be transferred to the detention
camp.

The Seguranca came Unexpectedly
and her appearance in the harbor was
a surprise, and still greater was the
surprise when the Mexico steamed in
a few hours later with more sick from
Siboney and Santiago.
When the Vigilance reached here a
couple of weeks ago, she reported that
she brought the last of the sick from
SibOney and Santiago. When the Sc
guranca came in this morning she made
the same announcement and four hours
later the Mexico did likewise

PINGREE, ALGER AND GOLD.
Republicans of Michigan Support g
Curious Combination.

Detroit, Mich, Sept Ex-Governor
Pingree was unanimously nominated
by reclamation this afternoon by the
Republican state convention. Many
members of his party who have not
heretofore been in accord with the gov
ernOr joined in the cheering when he
appeared and made a characteristic
speech of acceptance.
Dexter NJ. Ferry of Detroit, chairman
of the state central committee, called
the convention to order. He urged per
petuation by this convention of every
Republican principle. He said with
such platform and a ticket headed
by our war governor, with our own
General Alger having a part under
President Mckinley in the national ad-
ministratiOn. the conditions are es-
pecially favorable for Republican vic
tory"
The chairman deplored criticism by
Republican newspapers Of the war de-
partment, which, he asserted, will be
used by demagogues of the other side
in the campaign.
Grant Fellows of Hudson, president
of the state league of Republican clubs,
was called to preside as temporary
chairman. He said: 1.-THE Republican
party in 1896 declared that it favored
the single gold standard and the people
approved this. Upon this question there
must be no backward steps The Re
publican party believes in a dollar
worth 100 cents, measured in gold. and
it is not afraid to proclaim this fact
Concerning the secretary of war Mr..
Fellows said: I'VE of Michigan have
confidence in the honesty, ability and
integrity of Russell A. Alger. We are
glad that he courts investigation and
we know that he will come out spot
less"
A contest from Marquette county oc-
cupied the committee on credentials
most of the afternoon. Meanwhile the
convention and crowd of spectators
from the galleries listened to addresses
by Webster Davis, assistant secretary
of the interior, eX-COngressman G'Don-
nell, who was to have been Pingree's
opponent, but had Withdrawn, and
others. 1t was late in the day before

RECEPTION TO GARCIA.
Cuban Hero to Be Given An Ovation
at Santiago.


New York, Sept. 21.-A dispatch to
the World from Santiago, Cuba, says:
Calixto Garcia has arrived at Jiguani
on his way to Santiago. He will prob
ably go from here to the United States.
where his daughter is ill. He will come
to Palma Soranits today, reaching San
tiago tomorrow.
General Lawton intends to receive
General Garcia tomorrow as an hon
ored guest. As he now holds no official
position in the Cuban army he will be
treated by the American commander as
a distinguished private citizen and a
great soldier. General Wood will go to
the outside limits of the town to well
come the Cuban leader, and a guard of
honor will meet him and escort him
through the town to the palace, where
he will be met by General LawtOn. A
levee will be held, at which the var
ious American officials will be present
ed to Garcia.
The Cubans in the town, who are also
planning a reception, are greatly elat-
ed, contrasting General Lawton's ac-
tionS with General Skaters.
In an interview General Lawton ex-
pressed himself as well satisfied with
the position of matters in the province
under his command. He secuted the
view OF the likelihood of any trouble
arising in connection with the Cuban
army, now practically in process of
disbandment

AGAINST ANNEXATION.

FL Porvenir publishes a bitter article
on the subject of annexation. Enrique
Trujillo, the editor, will say:
''The programme before the war, dur
ing the war and after peace was de-
clared has been one of invariable and
absolute independence of Cuba. Neither
now, before, nor after, have we been
anreXationists. Probably some un-
lucky destiny like death may be
against US. but as men desire to pre-
serve life, so We protest against the
political suicide of annexation. During
the preliminary contest for the Cubans'
freedom the first solution suggested an
neXation, but this was never our ideal,
only our second resource.
''The southern states of America de-
sired to DerDetuate slavery, and for
this reason they desired to help the
project of Narciso Lopez. President
Lincoln ended this reason for annexa-
ton
THE Spanish desire it. They cry
annexation or nothing, but it is the
desire of the Spaniards still on the
