civil government established by Gen.
Wood Is practically complete, and In
good working order. Major McCleary.
formerly attorney general for Texas,
has been appointed mayor. and the
Spanish officials are giving place to
Cubans. The men taking Office are
chosen by committee OF so prom
inent Cubans. The Cubans earnestly
request Wood to send to Manzanillo
food and clothing. They declare
there Is much suffering
there, but private advices re-
ceived by Wood deny absolutely the
stories OF restitution and declare work
is obtainable, but that the Cubans
will not work, and he therefore re-
fused to send the supplies asked for.
News from Puerto Principe shows
there are now 5000 Spanish soldiers In
the province, and fully half OF them
are suffering from scurvy and dysen-
terry. The Cubans hold the country
and refuse TO permit fresh provisions
TO be carried TO the city.

Saratoga, n. y, Sept. 2S.-The
republican state convention was
called to order Tuesday at 1925
by Chairman b. F. Odell of
the republican state central commit
tee. Congressman Serene L. Payne
on being presented as temporary
chairman made a lengthy address de-
voted principally TO national ques-
tons.
After the conclusion of Temporary
Chairman Payne's speech, the conven-
ton took a recess until $3.50.
AS soon as the gavel fell at the al
ternoon session the committee on per-
manent organization reported the
permanent officers of the convention,
including Senator Horace White of
Syracuse for chairman. The mention
of Gov. Blacks name by White, was
the occasion for laundering applause,
followed by three cheers Reference
to the services of Senator Platt at
Washington was also the occasion OF
an outburst. The mention of the
charge of the rough riders at san Juan
hill brought the convention to its
feet with great cheering.
J. Ryder Cady of Hudson, who nom
mated Black two years ago, took the
platform to perform again the same
service. Cady finished amid tremend
Gus applause.
At As Chauncey NJ. Depew took the
platform to nominate Roosevelt. For
some minutes Depew could not begin
his speech for the applause that en-
sued. Mr. Depew said in conclusion:
1t is seldom in political conflicts
when new, unexpected issues have to
be decided, that candidate can be
found who personfies the popular,
progressive side of those issues. Rep
resentative men move masses to en-
thusiasm and are more easily under
stood than measures. Lincoln, with
his immortal declaration, made at a
time when to make it insured defeat,
and Douglas, who made the statement
in congress that house divided
against itself cannot stand. l be.4u.e
this government cannot endure per-
manently half slave, half free'-these
men embodied the anti-slavery doc
trine. Grant stood for the perpetuity
of the union and for liberty. Me
Kinley, by his long and able advocacy
of its principles, is the leading spirit
for protection of American industries.
For this year, for this crisis, for the
voters of the empire state, for the
young men of the country and for the
upward, onward. outward terms of the
United States, the candidate of this
state is the hero of Santiago, the idol
of the rough riders,-Col. Theodore

speech relating to Mckinley was re-
ceived with much applause and there
