NO CONVENTION HELD.
Popnlists Comforting at Parkersburg on
the Advisabiiity of Fusion.


the Advisabitity of fusion.
Special to the Register
Parkersburg, w. Va, June IS
Neither the Senatorial nor Congressional
convention OF the Populists, called for
to-day in this city, was held, and it is
quite probable the leaders are in favor
OF fusion with one of the big polit-
zeal parties and will have the conven-
tons adjourned to some future day.
Two factions of the party leaders have
been holding a conference behind closed
doors all day. There are several differ
ences they are trying to settle annie
ably before they so into public conven-
ton. One Of the questions is whether
or not to fuse with either of the big
parties. There is a wide difference of
opinion on that question, the middle Of
the road men insisting that a straight
out Populist ticket be nominated.
Should this faction win, John B. Dud-
ding, wealthy farmer, Of Putnam
county, will be nominated for Con-
gress, and H. A. Altizer, Of Calhoun,
will be named for the Senate.
G. Warren Hayes proposed the name
OF Hon. John M. Hamilton, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress from Cal
houn, for place on the ticket, and the
proposition stirred up a great row and
a repetition of the famous convention
of 96 is looked for

A MYSTERIOUS SPANIARD
Found on Board the British Steamer
Twickenham, by "a Prize Grew of Ameri-

cans.
KEY WEST, June 15.-1:45 p. m.-Jamie
Ferniers, who says he is the hrst OF
ficer of the Spanish hospital ship Alicante,
was brought in here this morning as a
prisoner of war on board the British prize
steamer Twickenham, captured by the
cruiser ST. Louis on June 10.
Conflicting stories are told concerning
the Spaniards presence on board the
Twickenham, and there is a strong susplc-
ion that he is a more important capture
than superficial circumstances might in
dictate.
The Twickenham was captured about
ten miles off Jamaica. She had been pick
ed up about a month ago and was warned
to avoid the blockade vessels.
On June 9Th the q. S. consul at St.
Pierre, Martinique, wired the State De
partment at Washington that the TWick-
enham's cargo of coal consigned to
the Spanish consul in that island, but that
the local government refused permission
to that official to land it. She was picked
up off that coast five days later by the
st. Louis.
Captain Goodrich put on board the
Twickenham a prize crew and sent the
vessel here. / was not until the ship
was bound for Key West that Fernieres
the mysterious Spaniard, was discovered
slowed away in the hold.
On the other hand, Captain Robinson
declares he took him aboard as q passen-
ger at Fort de France, at the request of
Capt. Genos, of the Alicante. Fernieres
who is an imposing looking person of
about fifty years is much worried, and
tears stood III his eyes as he told his
story, through an interpreter, to the rep
resentative of the Associated Press. He
said he was going, by order of Captain
Genos, from Martinique to Jamaica,
where he hoped to board a steamer for
the Pacific coast in order to transact bus
mess with the agents of the Spanish At
lantic company. He was also to see the
company's agent at Jamaica: but, strange
name and was to secure all necessary in
formation from the Spanish consul here
Captain GEMS said the captive had as
sured him there was no element of dam
ger in his mission, yet here was com
missioner of war involved in an interna-
tional affair.
The agitation Of Fernieres taken in
connection with the unlikely phases Of
his story leads TO the belief that he NAV
be an important prisoner. He will have
an opportunity to tell his story to the
United States officials when Captain Rob
inson will also be examined and the entire
case will be thoroughly investigated

San Francisco, June 15.-Anchor was
weighed by the second Philippine eX-
pedition at one o'clock this afternoon.
AS the sun was setting the last trans
port passed out of the Golden Gate anc,
led by the flagship China, the fleet
stood away toward Honolulu. At that
port the vessels will re-coal.
To-day's expedition carried thirty
five hundred men, distributed among
four vessels.
On the Zealandia we're the Tenth
Pennsylvania volunteers and part OF
battery B, of the Utah volunteer ar
tillery. Two maxim rapid fire guns
were placed ready for action in the
bow Of the vessel. In all, there were
$40 priyates and sixty officers on
board.
Thousands Of people assembled along
the docks to witness the departure of
the fleet, and when the signals Or
dering the vessels to get under way
were observed a mighty cheer went up
Vessels in the harbor blew long blasts
from their sirens and every factory
and mill in the manufacturing district
saluted the vessels with blasts from
their whistles. Bombs were exploded
and cannon were fired, and the four
vessels bearing loads of humanity and
munitions Of war passed down the
bay. The water front was black with
people, and the waving Of flags and
handkerchiefs presented a beautiful
sight. The guard rails of the trans
ports were hidden beneath struggling
soldiers trying to get the last glimpse
of the city. The men cheered them
selves hoaIse and waved their hats and
handkerchiefs until their arms ached
Tugs and ferryboats, chartered for the
occasion, followed the vessels down the
bay to the Golden Gate.
The afternoon was we'll nigh gone
when the transports reached the
ocean and headed for Honolulu
Arrangements are now being made
for the sailing Of the third expedition
1t is believed the fleet will be ready by
June %.

their thanks are, due to Ed Hamblin

at any point since leaving Pfeenix,

original composition on Capt. Buckley

chorus are appended:
While fighting for the stars and stripes
against his country's foe,
A hero on the eve of victory fell. :.
Y on know his name--'tis Buckley O'Neii
Of whom we're going to tell.
You can bet the Spaniards saw him

Ag he dashed with his Terrers up tn

IFor his country he gave up his life. hi
home and family dear;
