CHAOTIC CONDITION.
Marks the Democratic State Conven'
ton at Syracuse, New York

Syracuse, N. Y, Sept. 28.--The chotio
condition of the delegation to the
democratic state convention at mid
night is accentuated by the contest pre-
cipitated by the action Of the commit
tee on credentials on the confirming OF
the sitting delegates in the three dis
tricts of Erie and seating the contest
ing delegates in the first and third
Monroe. This action, II approved,
would probably give control Of the next
seal ON the committee to ex-senator
Hin and at midnight tonight 1t was al
legged Croker and Tammany would fight
the adoption of the report on the floor
of the convention tomorrow. All night
the leaders have been fighting hard and
there is a promise of a heated session
tomorrow unless some understanding
Is arrived at. The fight seems to be by
the delegates below Bronx, against
those above It, and 80 far the latter are
in the ascendency. It is not possible
x midnight to give any names likely
to 20 on the ticket. The only thing
decided finally upon tonight IL there
will not be any mention either Of the
Chicago platform Or of silver.

SPANIARDS VIOLATING THE PRO-
VISIONS OF THE PROTOCOL
AT HAVANA.
The American Commissioners Protest,
But No Satisfactory Answer Was
Overwhelmed Garcia Is Still Dis
gruntled-He May be Given a Small
Job by Uncle Sam.

New York, Sept. 1s.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:
Members CT the American commits
sion were astonished by the sight OF a
rapid fire gun and carriage moving
past the hotel. 1t vas being taken by
a road engine toward the CITY from a
battery behind the Hotel Trotcha. AS
a result a terse note was prepared, stat
ing in unmistakable language to the
Spanish commission, that the American
commission considered the removaI Of
the gun a direct breach Of the terms of
the protocol, adding the demand that
no cannon or other munitions of war be
moved without previous assent or per-
mission of the American commission.
The note was promptly sent. being de-
~livered by Captain Hart and Lieutenant
Hampton to the Spanish commission
long before the gun reached the city.
A member Of the Spanish commission
said that he considered the matter of
no Importance. Nothing had been said
TO the American commission because
it was considered that the return of the
cannon into the cruiser Alfonso Kill,
from which 1t had been taken to the
battery, was perfectly natural and with
in Spanish rights and that no American

Spain, upward Of 1000 OF whom had
been sent home since the protocol was
signed without the official knowledge
of the American commission. This re-
ply was delivered at the Trotcha by
the official Spanish interpreter. Major
Benitz. 1t was regarded as unsatisfac-
tory. involving further communications
on the subject from the American con-
mission.
No Spanish evacuation reply hcs been
sent yet, because the commission fail
ed to meet last night, as had been ex-
pected. but it is promised at the
earliest possible date. 1t may be deliv-
cred tomorrow.
The Spanish troops who are to a
uate M%anzanillo by October Z, number
about 1000. They will 60 to Cienfue-
gos and await the embarkation Of the
other troops there. According to the
formal Spanish note on the subject,
received by the American commission
last night, when the troops leave Man.
zanillo the government property and
affairs there will be turned over to the
local Spanish court authorities.
A member Of the Spanish commits
sion says there are about 10000 sick
soldiers now in Cuba.

Death of a Young Man Announced by
Himself to His Father.

| can voudh for for the truth of the
following interesting article: On Aug.
II a young man named Livio Cibrario.
belonging to one of the most ancient
families of Turin, while attempting to
climb the peak of Rocciamelone, in the
Maritime Alps. lost his way, and on the
following morning a search party found
his body, terribly crushed and bruised,
at the bottom of a deep crevasse.
Count Cibrario, the unfortunate
young mans father, who was at Turin,
and knew nothing Of his sons expedi-
ton to the Rocciamelone, on the night
OF the accident aroused the rest of the
Livio was dead. He had seen him dis
tinctly, he said. blood flowing from his
battered head, and heard these words,
spoken in a voice of terrible anguish:
Father. | slipped down a precipice
and broke my head. and | am dead,
quite dead"
The other members of the family
tired in vain to persuade the poor count
that the CHASTITY vision was nothing but
a nightmare, and the bereaved father
in a state OF anxiety border
ing on distraction till the morning,
when the official confirmation OF the
terrible accident reached him.
This case Of telepathy, OF whatever
name may be given to similar phenom-
is considered all the more remark
able as Count Cibrario is a very quiet.

A CAREFUL COAL MERCHANT.

"A CAhEfU VI COAL MERCHANT.
Goaded to desperation, the long-suf-
fering householder had bearded the
coal merchant in his den.
Look here" he said, II have come
to ask you why, in the name Of hui
manity, you send such a bill as this to
a father of a large and growing family?
Surely there must be a spark Of pity
in your composition. They say there
is good in everybody, and I cannot be-
lieve that your heart is as hard as the
anthracite for which you charge such
fabulous prices"
The coal merchant appeared greatly
moved by this pathetic appeal.
You are right" he answered, earn
estly. I'VE coal merchants are by no
means black as the goods we sell.
We, too, have Our feelings. You have
spoken to me as the father Of a family.

you hat it is because l am a husband

Before it is too late?" REPEATED the
householder, wonderingly. What do
you mean?"

merchant, that, according to the most
eminent modern scientists. the earth's

hausted in exactly 346 years. Now do

NEW JERSEY DEMOCRATS.
Fail to Endorse the Chicago Platform
IN the Money Question.

Trenton, N. j., Sept. 28.-The demo-
cratic state convention nominated for
governor, Elvin w. Crane, the prose-
cutOr of Essex county and adopted a
platform, which, in a measure, supports
the democratic national platform. The
convention, however. without debate,
defeated the proposition to endorse the
platform adopted at Chicago in 1896.
This. for a few minutes, caused consid-
cradle turmoil. but the band struck up
q lively tune and the silver men accept
ed the situation gracefully. Later when
Crane had been nominated, Senator
Daily and Clarence Atkinson, both of
whom were special favorites OF the
silver men and candidates for nomina-
ton, mounted the platform and prom
ised to do all they could to insure
Cranes election.

"A dispatch to tn Herald from santi.

IA dispatch to tn Herald from Santi
ago de Cuba says:
To General Demetrio Castillo ha.
been offered the position Of counsellor
and assistant to General Wood in ar.
ranging matters concerning the Cubans
in the capitulated territory. He will
probably accept.
In an informal conference between
General Garcia and General Lawton,
the situation was fully discussed. Gen
eral Garcia Informed General Lawton
that there was a tremendously strong
feeling among the Cubans regarding the
intentions of the Americans, and that
no solution save independence would
be accepted by them. Any other pro-
pcsal, General Garcia asserted. would
bring serious trouble and a probable
conflict between the United States and
Cuba. Personally, he assured General
Lawtcn he would do everything pos
sible to smooth on matters. He had
no intention, he said, Of posing as pres
ident OF the republic. His sole ambi-
ton was the command of the army. 1t
seems likely that General Garcia will
be offered the position of commissioner
of some kind, to act in arranging mat
tiers.
A special to the Herald from Wash
ington says:
In addition to the troops already
ordered to go ITO Cuba not later than
October 20, there will follow four more
divisions. three of infantry and one
Of cavalry.
1t is the present plan of General
Miles that these troops shall all be
landed in Cuba by November 10. though
an official said yesterday that he did
not believe the last would arrive be-
fore December /. The first troops to
go will. it is expected, witness the be-
ginning Of the evacuation and they
have been hurried forward because
the evacuation will begin earlier than
expected.
Headquarters OF the three military
departments will be in Havana, Puerto
Principe and Santiago. 1t is apparently
settled that General Wade will be in
command of the department Of Havana.
General Lawton will remain where he
is, as commander of the department
of Santiago, and General Lee will, it
is thought, be in command Of the cen
trail division. The whole question will
be canvassed with General Lee when
he arrives here on Friday.
Cavalry will be under the command
OF General Wheeler unless he resigns
to resume his seat in congress. The
cavalry will be scattered in detach-
ments at many points. General Miles
Is nov selecting troops Of the remain
ing divisions. and 1t is expected that
they will be announced in a few days.
