Decent Republicans Declaim Against
Pennsylvania Boss.
WANAMAKER IS FAVORED
PERMISSION SOUGHT TO NAME
HIM FOR GOVERNOR.
Conference of Anti-Quay Republi-
cans Held at Philadelphia-Re-
publican Senators and State Leg
islature Denounced-Dirty Repub-
1ican Linen Hung Out.

Philadelphia, Feb. 2.-The anti-Quay
movement in the Republican party re-
ceived an impetus here today at a
conference at which there were present
about 400 representative business and
party men from all sections of the
state. The conference was held under
the auspices of the business mems
league.
The conference was called to order
by Elias Deemer of WilliamspOrt, who
stated that the meeting had been called
in behalf Of Republicans OF the state
who desired the election of a governor
who would administer the affairs of
the state without the dictation of any
one man.
The conference was in session about
three hours. Quite a number Of
speeches were made denunciatory OF
the United States senators from Penn
sylvanla and particularly censuring the
political methods of Senator Quay.
The dominant faction of the state
legislature also came in for its share OF
reproach.
FOR WANAMAKER.
The sentiment of nearly all the
speakers was in favor of the nOmina-
ton of John Wanamaker, as the candi-
party at the coming fall election, al
though the names Of Congressman Dali
zell and c. w. Stone were frequently
mentioned and applauded.
After a lengthy discussion a resolu-
ton was adopted urging Mr.. Nana-
maker to permit the use of his name
for the office of governor with the ap
preaching Republican primary cleo
lions, and at the Republican state con-
ventiOn.'
Great enthusiasm was aroused in the
earlier part of the meeting by the read
ing of a letter from John Wanamaker.
1t was dated at Ossado. Island, Georgia.
Mr.. Wanamaker expressed regret
that a prior engagement had pre-
vented his attendance at the meeting,
With the purpose of which he was
fully in accord. He wanted it dis
tinctly understood that he did not de-
sire public office and suggested Judge
John Stewart, Henry c. Mccormack,
John Dalzell. Major E. S. Hancock and
Colonel E. A. Irwin as names from
which a governor could be selected, not
to be owned by any one.
FOR GOVERNOR.
A committee of seven was selected
to notify Mr.. Wanamaker of the action
of the conference and ask of him per-
mission to use his name as a candidate
for governor.
The conference adopted a lengthy
platform of principles in the form of
an address to the Republican voters of
the state. 1t declares the condition of
politics in the state to be disgraceful
and that this condition has been
brought about by the expenditure of
money TO corrupt and debauch the

senator the platform says, is under
stood to desire reelection, and he, more
than any other man, it says, is respon-
sible for the present corrupt condition
of state politics. His defeat for re-
election is urged upon the voters.

London, Feb. "a wave of indigna-

servatives, no less than Liberals, be-
wall the supposed retreat from an I'M

Great Britain, supported by the United
States and Japan, might have safely

1t is understood that the government
is angry with the Times for revealing
the position.
The afternoon newspapers comment
in the most severe terms upon the al
legged withdrawal of Great Britain's
demand for the opening of the port of

HUMILIATION.

The Globe says mo wonder if the
opponents of the ministry regard it as
national humiliation when its sup
porterS are unable to find a reasonable
excuse for it. The public was led to
believe that Sir Machael Hicks-B Beach
and other cabinet ministers meant
what they said, so the minister's have
only themselves to thank if they lose
prestige at home and abroad through
the withdrawal of the Talien Wan de-
mand. England, with her strength and
enormous resources, has the game in
her own hands if the ministers will
only play with the necessary spirit
MUCH SURPRISE.
The Times Talien Wan announce
ment has created much surprise and
excitement among politicians, and was
eagerly discussed at the clubs. The
Liberals vigorously denounced the re-
ported backdown of the British gov
eminent, while the Conservative men,
bers of the house of commons did not
conceal their bitter disappointment.
Many declined to credit the report I'M
til it should be officially confirmed, and
prominent Conservative offered a
Liberal opponent to pay a substantial
sum to public charity if there had been
a backdown. The Liberals declare it
would be a humiliating surrender to
bIlIlSn
terest and prestige.
The members of the late cabinet are
already communicating with each other
with the view to using the matter as a
point of attack upon the government
during the debate upon the queens
speech upon the reassembling of parlia-
ment.

Berlin, Feb. 3.-An article in the No
voc Vremya of st. Petersburg, which
has attracted the attention of Europe,
declares that France and Germany
supported Russias determination and
opposed England's with reference to
Ialien Wan, hence Lord Salisbury, it is
claimed, was obliged to consult with
his colleagues before the meeting of
parliament as to the best way TO beat a
retreat if Great Britain wishes to avoid
an open conflict with Russia.

CONDITIONS AT SANTIAGO,
People Panic Stricken and Suffering
for Lack of Food.

A message received from Gen. Shafter
last night indicates that the situa tion Of
the people of Santiago is terrible. They
are not only panic stricken over the fear
OF bombardE1ent, but they are suffering
from lack of actual necessaries of life.
Gen. Shafter says:
The town (Santiago) Is in terrible con-
dition as to food. The people are starving.
Rice is practically the only staple article
Of food they nave"
Further along in the same dispatch Shaf-
ter says that the growing food crops II
the vicinity of the city have already been
utilized by the residents of the city, and
that the only growing article of food left
is a few mangoes.
Gen. Skaters statement of the situation
in Santiago is borne out by the condition
OF the men captured by the American fleet
from the vessels Of Ceryera's squadron.
They had been on half rations so long. that
many of them were nearly famished and
If they had not been taught that capture
by the Americans meant death they would
have welcomed it, because it insured them
good food and plenty of it.
1t is learned authoritatively that tre-
nendous pressure Is being brought to bear
upon the Spanish commander of Santiago
by the foreign consuls resident in the city
to induce him in the interest of humanity
TO surrender to the Inevitable. The con-
srls have communicated with their home
governments, and it Is believed here that
representations will be made by them to
Spain to induce her to permit the city to
surrender, thereby preventing further loss
Of life and property. What the result of
these negotiations may be cannot be fore
told. The opinion expressed by war off,
cials is that the Spaniards will fight to the
lest and capitrlate only when they are
forced to do so. For that reason any de-
lay Of offerstye action against the city is
not regarded in army circles with favCr
Troops In Good Spirits.
Speaking of the troops under his com
Tand. Gen. Shafter says: 'The men are
in good spirits and remarkably WELL"
In course of another dispatch Gen. Shat
ter, referring to the condition of those in
jured, says: "All the wounded are doing
sipgularly well, only one death having oc-
CURED since the battle
A private cabIegram received from Gen.
Sumner. formerly colonel of the 9th Cav
airy. stationed at Fort Myer, Va, near
this city. says:

The glad ttdings received from both Cen
Shafter and Gen. Sumner concerning the
condition of tho troops, and particularly
the wounded, will be received with Joy in
all parts Of the country

CURED however. leaving the matter still in
doubt. Some senators express the greatest
confidence that the opposition will collapse
after today. Others, in spite of the efforts
at an agreement and the enc cura ging signs,
think that the debate may consume most Of
the week. Conferences between individual
leaders on bota sides of the question point
to a possibility of an understanding being
reached. At all events, it is evident that
the opposition is slowly and stubbornly CIV
ing way and that but two or three men are
still holding out
One Of the leaders of the opposition de-
clared late this afternoon that there would
be no agreement for vote, but assented to
the proposition thatsa vote might be had.

CAPT. MOsRER CHOSEN
VIII he Appointed Lieutenant CoIouet
of the District Resfment

Inc president today directed the appoint
n.ent of Capt. Mosker of the 90 Infantry
as lieutenant colonel of the 1st District of
Columtia Regiment of Volunteer Infantry.
capt Mosher is now with his regiment at
santiago. His promotion is due to the
Presidents desire to recognize the valuable
services rendered by that officer in the
operations against Santiago, In which Cant
Mosher was wounded while gaHantIy lead
ing his company in the assault.
When the 1st District Regiment of Vol
unteers was organized Capt c. III. Hey, of
the 23d Infantry, then acting as adtutant
general Of the District militia. was ofrerad
the lieutenant colcnelcy of the reeinont
but he declined it, preferring to serve in
the regular establishment in a more sub-
ordinate capacity.
Since then the President has not bean
able to select an officer for the place. and
as consequence it has never been filed.
The heroism displayed by Capt Mosher at
Santiago offered the President the oppor-
tunity of recognizing that officers serv-
ices and at the same time filling the va
eancy In the District of Columbia Regi-
ment. The nature and extent of Cant.
Mesher's injuries are not fully known here
but the hope is expressed that they are
not sufficiently serious to prevent his
joining his new regiment on its arrival at
Santiago and entering upon the discharge
of the duties to which he has been as
signed.
Capt. Mosher was formerly associated
with the District militia as adjutant gen.
eral. and is well ard favorably known to
all Of Its members. His appointment will
undoubtedly be most gratifying to the
rank and file Of the District Regiment
now on its way to Santiago, and he is
bound to receive a hearty welcome from

away.
Those brought to Jamaica came in the
clothes they stood in. some even with alb
sclutely no kind of baggage, having
thought only of escaping with their lives.
The non-combatants in the city were in
state of desperate panic. Miss Ramsden
the British consurs daughter, says the
American shells flew around their house on
Saturday aud Sunday morning. Mr. Rams
den could not leave Santiago and his wife
would not.
The report was that the city would be
bombarded yesterday, beginning at 10 in the
morning, or at noon. The reports varied.

strength of the Spanish forces in the city
