New York, Sept. THE United
States transport Obdam, having on
board Major General Nelson A. Miles
and his staff, General Greenleaf, Cap
tain Whitney, the Second regiment of
Wisconsin volunteers, consisting of 80
officers and 800 men, and the hospital
corps from Porto Rico, arrived here
today Mrs. Miles, son and daughter
were also on board the transport, which
sailed from Ponce on Sept. 1. The sur
geon in charge reported all well and no
sickness or deaths during the voyage.
The troops were in the best of spirits.
The big transport was decorated pro-
fusely with palms and draped with
flags. From the fore truck was flying
the American ensign over a large
Spanish flag, while long strings of in
ternational code flags were floating
from each masthead to the rails.
General Miles admitted to the Associ-
ated Press reporter, who interviewed
him while the Obdam was lying off
Liberty island the substantial accuracy
of the statement attributed to him by
the Kansas City Stars correspondent
at Ponce, Porto Rico.
There are" General Miles said to
minor inaccuracies in the published
reports, such as usually occur in such
interviews. [ do not care to point out
the inaccuracies referred to at this
time; they are unimportant.
1T is true that l requested that my
troops in Porto Rico, on their return
home, should be allowed to camp
somewhere near New York, preferably
Brooklyn Heights, Fort Waosvorth or
Governors island. 1 also requested of
the war department that the troops
be allowed to march through New York
City. l never intended to parade my
self, as l shall go to Washington in a
few days and would not be here at the
time of the contemplated parade.
Il asked that the Wisconsin men
aboard the Obdam be permitted to stay
in this vicinity for a day or two TO
give them a chance to see the city 1t
would do no harm to let those western
boys get glimpse of New York Sure
ly they merit it. Many of them. 1
perhaps will never have another OPP
portunity to see it.
ITO my first request, namely that
my troops be permitted to camp here
abouts in the neighborhood of Brook
lyn Heights, and that they be allowed
to parade, / have received no reply.
To nv second request received a re-
ply al Quarantine this morning, order
ing the Wisconsin boys home forth
with. The men will go from the trans
ports directly to the cars

CHANCES FOR EIISION

CHANCES FOR FUSION.
Most of the delegates to the state
conventions Of the Democratic, Popu-
list and silver Republican parties,
which open here tomorrow, are on the
ground tonight. The fight this morn
ing between the two factions of the.
silver Republicans, which seems to
have made certain split in that party
and two conventions, has improved the
chances for fusion on the state ticket
between the Democrats, Populists and
part of the silver Republicans There
viii be some difficulty in the distribu-
ton of the offices, as each party is
anxious to name the head of the ticket
and there are numerous candidates.
The silver Republicans who recognize
as state chairman James H. Blood. Ma
tional Chairman Towne's appointee,
and who are regarded as followers CT
Senator Teller, are said to have agreed
upon Frank G. Goudy as their candi-
date for governor. The Democrats are
divided between the present governor,
Alva Adams, and Charles S. Thomas.
With the Populists, it is said Judge
Thompson of the court of appeals is
the favorite.
The opera house where the silver Re-
publican convention is called, is now
in the hands of the followers of Chair
man Broad, who was deposed by Ma
tional Chairman Towne yesterday and
they are guarding it with an armed
force. This faction is opposed to fusion
with the other silver parties and will
unquestionably nominate full ticket
1t seems tonight that all dangers of
further serious trouble between the
two factions of the silver Republicans
has been removed. This afternoon
members of the Blood faction made ap-
plication before Judge Harris of the
district court for a writ of mandamus
compelling Sheriff Boynton to turn over
the opera house to them. Tonight citi-
zens of Colorado Springs took the mat
ter in hand and the result was a COM
promise by which both sides relinQuish
all claims to the disputed room. By
this agreement Judge Harris issued an
order to Sheriff Boynton to let neither
faction have possession of the place
The Broad faction have secured the
Coburn library of Colorado college and
the Blood wing will meet at Durlee
hall.
1t is impossible TO learn anything
about the man alleged to have been
wounded in the opera house fight ex-
cept that John L. Russell of Denver is
not the man.
Late tonight the chances of fusion
do not appear at all bright The Pop
ulists hold out for the head of the
ticket, to which there is strong opposi-
ton from both the silver Republicans
and Democrats

The Man Killed.

Denver, Colo, Sept. 7-Charles Har-
ris, who was killed this morning in the
fight between factions of the silver Re
publican party at Colorado Springs
for possession of the hall in which the
state convention is to be held tomor-
row, came to Denver five years ago
from Omaha, where he formerly held
the Office of deputy United States mar
shall. He is a carpenter by trade, about
32 years of age, and has a wife and
two children. For a time he was a
member of the Denver fire department,
and of late he has been in the employ
of the Gulf railroad

sight of land they should sail as
straight as steam power could bear
them to the gate of the Antilles and
the key of the whole positiOn-POrtO
Rico. Then, having seized and occu-
pied that island, a movement TO Cuba
was to follow by means of a strong
cavalry force, which was to be organ
lied and equipped by August or Sep
tember. He contemplated that 10000
cavalry thrown to the center of Cuba,
cutting the Spanish forces in two and
moving west to Havana by the time
the rainy season was over and it would
be possible to maneuver an army; we
could move against that city a well
organized, well equipped and well dis
ciplined army and complete the cap
tu~e of the Spanish forces. The en-
closure of Cervera's fleet in the harbor
of Santiago changed the condition and
made it necessary to move a military
force to that point.
WANTED TO GO.
General Miles, while at Tampa or
ganizing the expedition, felt the i'm
portance of the enterprise so greatly
that he requested permission to ac-
company that expedition, or to organ
ize another to join it. This was not
granted, so far as accompanying that
expedition was concerned, but author
ity was granted to equip a second for
movement and operation against the
enemy in Cuba and Porto Rico
However, before this expedition was
equipped, calls were made for addi-
tional forces TO go to Santiago and
they were Immediately forwarded. On
the third day of July General Shafter
telegraphed that his losses had been
greatly nder-estimated; that he met
c.fv
anticipated and that he was seriously
considering the advisability of falling
back to position five miles to the rear
and that he had not been able to be up
during the past four days.
Under such circumstances General
Miles telegraphed General Shafter that
he would be with him within a week,
with strong reinforcements. Of course
taking the troops prepared for the Sec
ond expedition, which had been ordered
by the president to operate against the
enemy in Cuba, as we'll as in Porto
Rico. These reinforcements were
pushed rapidly forward and some of
them arrived in advance of the COM
manding general and were put in posi-
tion in the trenches around Santiago.
HAD FULL AUTHORITY.
Under verbal instructions Of the
president General Miles was directed
to go wherever he deemed his presence
was required and that he should give
such directions as in his opinion were
best for the army and the government
These were the circumstances under
which General Miles left Washington
Arriving at Santiago, July IL, not as
a private individual nor as a visitor,
any pretense that he went there dis
robed of his authority or official ca
pacity is too childish to be considered
by sensible men. From the moment he
arrived at Santiago he was responsible
for what might occur. He arrived there
with the Yale. Columbia and Rita,
loaded with infantry and three ships

in Charge.
The first steps have been taken for
the customary proper and fitting OBJ
servance here of Memorial Day. II is
expected that unusual attention viii
be given the ceremonies this year on
account of the war now waging be-
tween the United States and Spain. A
regular meeting of Geo. W. De Long
Post, g. a. R., Department of Califor-
MIA and Nevada, was held in Harmony
Hall on King street, Wednesday even
ing There was a good attendance.
After routine business had been trans
acted the matter Of Decoration Day
services was taken up. 1t was decided
TO place the entire affair in the hands
of a special committee, to make plans
and present the same at a special
meeting to be held a fortnight hence.
1t is more than likely that there will
be invited TO participate the First Re-
giment of the National Guard, the
command of such L. S. Warship as
may be in port and the officials of the
Hawaiian Government. AS to orator
of the day, several names have been
mentioned. There have been suggest
ed both residents and visitors. Past

Legislators Who are Doing a Bit
of Maneuvering.
There was more in. the little brush
in the House Thursday on absenteeism
and the progress of the work than ap-
peared on the surface, although some
plain sentences were uttered. Under
the surface a sharp contest is going on
and this is it: Certain members of
the House, according to the leader Of
the combination, are allied to play
the appropriation bill referred to
against the Income Tax Act and a
couple of other measures. Said the
organizer three days ago: 1--WE are
going to have the session extended
fifteen or thirty days if we think it
necessary for a trial to pass a couple
of acts that should go through, but
that are opposed by either the Govern
ment or powerful outside influence.
The Income Tax Act is one Of those
and the bill to shut down on Asiatic
immigration is another. The Income
Tax Act should pass and the other
is entitled to consideration in the
open. The bill to restrict immigration
from Japan and China has been buried
or hidden away, but it will be forced
out into the light if the Government
wants money to run it's business for
the coming period. We will hold back
the appropriation bill till the last few
days of May in any event If we
should get in and pass it the Cabinet
would pay no more attention to US,
for we could then, so far as they were
concerned, settle our board bills and
go home"
