ADMIRAL OEWEYS SWORD
1T Is TO BE MARVEL OF PLAIN,
SOLID ELEGANCE.
The Committee selects the Tiffany De-
sign. hut Orders some of the Or
namentation SimpIified.

Washington. Aug. 22.-The design of
the memorial sword which the govern
ment is to present to Rear Admiral
Dewey. according to act of congress,
was finally determined upon to-day by
the committee, consisting Of Acting
Secretary Allen, Senator Lodge Of
Massachusetts and Professor Oliver Of
the United States naval academy. The
design selected was submitted by Tiff
any d Co of New York. Its marked
characteristic is its simple and solid
elegance. The hilt of the sword, as
originally submitted, showed an eagles
head. but this was changed TO a plain
and solid but hghly-traced gold han
die. The blade is "damascened." be-
ing subjected TO that process by which
the famous Damascus blades were
made. one side Of the blade bears the
inscription: The gift of the nation to
Rear Admiral George Dewey. L. s. y,
in memory Of the victory at Manila
bay. May l. 1895" The scabbard Is OF
dark blue damascened metal with ira
Gerry of gold. one of the marked fea-
lures OF the original design was at the
end of the scabbard. where, in minia-
ture, a crown, presumably the Spanish
crown. was broken by this Dewey
sword The committee removed this
suggestive feature and instead of the
pierced crown there is substituted two
dolphins.

M'LEAN IN THE CABINET
A Story That He Is to Succeed
Secretary of War Alger.
1T SOUNDS RATHER FISHY
Sprung on the Ohio Democratic State
Convention, 1t Is Ridiculed by Some
of the Delegates and Ac-
cepted by Others.

Dayton, o.. Aug. ga special from
the Cincinnati Times-Star was repro
duced in the papers here tonight that
John r. Mclean would not be repre-
sented by Chairman Dan McConviIle.
Lewis G. Bernard or any other of his
former lieutenants who are in this con-
vention, and the reason for his not TAX
ing part was said to be due to the re-
port that John r. Mclean is to sue
ceed Gen. r. A. Alger as secretary Of
war i'm McKinley's cabinet This
caused more stir among the delegates
than anything that has been sprung
for years at a convention.
Although Mclean was prominently
before the last democratic convention
for the presidential nomination, and
would have been elected senator in
place of Hanna If the democrats had
carried the Legislature last November
and although his paper. the Cincinnati
Enquirer, was considered a leading ad-
vocate of Bryan and free silver, the
story about Mclean probably becoming
the successor of Alger was believed by
many of the delegates They cited the
case of Hayes appointing Keys, "A
Southern democrat, as his postmaster
general, and later of Cleveland making
Gresham his secretary of state, and
said that Mckinley had appointed Lee.
Wheeler and other democrats to lead
ing places, and that greater surprises
in politics than this had happened. IL
was conceded that If Mclean should
become McKinleys secretary of war,
and the Cincinnati Enquirer an admin
istration paper, il would cause "A poliu-
cal revolution, as Mclean and his paper
have been the most notent factors in
this state. as well as in Kentucky. In
diana and other states. for free silver.
The factional fights and all other usual
issues have been oVershadOwed tonight
by the discussion Of the reports about
the attitude of Mclean and the En-
quirer. While some delegates are busy
denouncing ii as an ante-convention
sensation and ridiculously absurd, ii is
certainly commanding more attention
than any other matters which are not
disputed. The Brice. SoTg and other
elements seem 10 be circulating very
studiously the Mclean story, whether
they believe it or not.

CALIFORNIA REPUBLICANS.
Spirited Contest for the GubernatoriaI
Nomination.

Sacramento, Cal, Aug. 22.-The re-
publican state convention will meet
here Tomorrow afternoon and nominate
a full state ticket. The city fairly
swarms tonight with delegates, visit
ing republicans and candidates, all of
whom are eXultant in the sanguine be-
lief that the campaign opens with every
prospect of victory. The absence of
anything like "A slate is attested by the
large number Of candidates in the field
and by the spirited canvass they are
making. No less than a dozen distin-
guished citizens are striving either di-
rectly or indirectly for the honor of be-
ing placed at the head of the ticket
Henry T. Gage, a Los Angeles attor-
ney. is undoubtedly in the lead to-
night. His most formidable competitor
for the gubernatorial nomination is DR.
George c. Pardee, who has been mayor
of Oakland. Apparently the third in
the race is Louis Brown. now secretary
of state, who was elected by a plural
ity of 1000 four years ago. when Gov
ernor Budd was elected on the demo-
cratic ticket.

Helena. Aug. 22.-About 81. 900 in GOLD
coin was found buried at East Helena
last Wednesday by three boys, otto
Christferson, Clarence Carlson and
Gust Anderson, while playing beneath
a tree not far from the smelter. One
of them climbed the tree and cut a
limb. He dropped his knife, and it fell
point downward, striking a substance
that emitted a metallic sound. The
boys curiosity was aroused and they
dug i'm the ground, unearthing a COM
mon baking powder can. Inside the
can they found more s., SO and 500
gold pieces than they had ever seen be-
fore. Young Carlson, being the larg-
est grabbed the can from his COM
panions and ran home with IL, giving II
to his father.
In course OF time the fathers of the
other boys heard of the find They
waited upon the elder Carlson and de-
manded some of the prize money. He
declined to surrender one of the shin
ing pieces. All of this, which happened
last week. might never have been
known If the elder Christferson and
Anderson had not come into town and
sworn out d warrant for Carlson's ar
rest on the ground of grand larceny.
An officer was sent after Carlson and
the money. He brought both into
court this afternoon and the case will
be heard by Justice Steinmitz to-mor-
row afternoon. Carlson was released
on his own recognizance.
In the meantime. an old man who ha

said was the savings of years. He
must prove his title 10 the property
otherwise it will probably revert to the
county.

SPAIN NAMES HER MEN
MILITARY COMMISSIONERS FOR
CUBA AND PORTO RICO.
The Ten Days the Protocol Gave Her to
Appoint Them Expired Yester-
day The Selections.

Washington. Aug. 22.-The state de-
partment to-day received a call from
NJ. Thiebaut, secretary of the French
embassy, and in charge during the alb
sence of Ambassador Cambon, who bore
notification from the Spanish govern
ment of the military commissioners for
Cuba and Porto Rico.
Under the peace protocol each govern
ment was to name it's military commits
sioners within 10 days, their meeting to
begin within 30 days. The 10 days was
up to-day and accordingly Spain gave
the official notice of the appointment
They are as follows: For Cuba-Major
General Gonzales Parade. Rear Ad-
miral Pastory Landero, Marquis Mon
tore: For Porto Rico-Major General
Ort Ego Diaz, Commodore of First
Rank Vallarino Carrisco, Judge Advo-
cate Sanchez del Aguila Leon.
The foregoing official list differs from
some of the lists given in previous dis
patches, which have included Admiral
Montijo, General Blanco, General Ma
cias and several other prominent Span
ish officers. Considerable significance
attaches to the naming of Marquis Mon
tero on the Cuban commission as It
indicates purpose on the part of Spain
to go into the future government of
Cuba. He is the only commissioner
Spanish or American, taken from civil
life. He is secretary of the treasury of
the Cuban autonomist cabinet, and all
his interests are connected with the
government of Cuba rather than with
the military question of the Spanish
evacuation of Cuba. He is named, IL is
believed, in order to carry out SPAIN s
desire to have an understanding as to
the future government of the island,
being intimately familiar with the ques-
tons of the civil administration of Cuba.
AS secretary of the Cuban treasury he
is also familiar with questions affecting
the Cuban debt.
