DR.. WURTH'S OPINION

Columbus, O., June 21.-The repub- Gcan state convention today was al most free from the factional fighting of former years. The national admin istration" republicans wer so strong that opposition to them was not felt anywhere. Of the four congressional districts in which there were contests, that of the Twenty-first district. in which the delegation of Mayor McKis- son of Cleveland figured, was the only one of any proportions.
 The McKisson contests, which kept the committee on credentials in ses- sion all night and all the other con tests were decided against an already very small minority. The new state committee did not organize, awaiting the report of the committee on creden- tials, but it is understood that Cyrus Ruling will be chairman of the central committee, and H. M. Daugherty chair man ot the executive committee. Both are close friends of Senator Hanna The convention will meet tomorrow at 9 a. m.

PEACE FROM PARIS.
A Secret Attempt to Negotiate Be-
 tween Spain and the United States.

London, June 21.-The correspondent at Paris of the Pall Mall Gazette tele- graphed this afternoon that he learned from an authoritative source, in spite of denials, that the question of nego- tiating peace between the United States and Spain had been for some time the subject of lively correspond ence between embassies.
 He adds that some of the ambassa- dors in Paris were instructed yesterday to remain on the alert and in readi- ress. The correspondent further says it is expected that an event of import aLce in the opening of negotiations with the United States and Spain will occur within a few days. M. Hano- taux, the French minister of foreign affairs, in the Melino cabinet, backed by the czar, has,. it seems, been the principal promoter of peace negotla- ticns, hence President Faure's desire to retain M. Hanotaux in the foreign cf1ce- ->4s@s

BAD BEGINNING.
Disaster Attends the Launching of a
 British Battleship.

London, June 21.-During the launching of the British irst-class battleship Albion, of 12,950 tons, at Blackwell today by the Duchess of York, a ceremony in which United States Ambassador Col. John Hay and Mrs Hay and Lieutenant-Col. Wells, United States naval attache assisted, the displacement caused an immense mass of water to rise on all sides, completely submerging one of the lower stages of the yard and immersing hundreds of people.
 Ten bodies have thus far been recov- cred and it is estimated that fifty per sons were drowned. Another, but dis credited rumor, says that the warship sunk. As this dispatch is sent the bodies of twenty ty-seven men, women and children have been recovered.

accomplished. Those in charge of the equipment and transportation of our
 army forces have not yet accomplished
 miracles. Probably the good effect of promising speedy authorization is one
 of the reasons why the promise is
 made. The navy officials know that a sufficiently powerful squadron to pro tect the transports and to reduce the i Notifications of San Juan is not likely 1 to be spared from Cuba for at least a month to come, and the army people know that neither the transports nor the troops can be ready in less than tfat time. But it is quite certain that
 the capture of the island of Porto Rico
 and it's retention for a time by the
 United States, if not permanently, is
 part of the programme, and there is
 more than an even chance that after General Merritt's forces have been landed in Manila some portion of the | fleet there and some part of our army
 may be spared to take possession of
 those other Pacific islands, now under Spanish sovereignty, the Canaries and
 the Ladrones. All in good time. San -iaso and Manila first, before any other expedition is undertaken.
 All the presidents plans, as hereto fore stated, lcok to the prosecution of this war in such a manner as to cause the smallest possible sacrifice of Amer ;can lives, Nevertheless it is feared a point vii soon be reached where it will be found possible to identify every
 one who falls and to send by telegraph a full obituary notice of every private. The lesson of Guantanamo has taught
 those who are to conduct operations
 tl,at there is probably much guerilla 6ghting ahead, and in this class of war fare the rough riders, and the regular troops who have had so much of this
 kind of experience with the Indians are expected to achieve great success. Operations in the Pacific, it is ex- pected vii be greatly facilitated by the immediate occupation of Pearl harbor,

 garded as only a question of few days. Public sentiment is making it.

blockade of the entire Cuban coast, but only of certain ports, among them Ha- vana and Cienfuegos.
 These ports," said the secretary, 'tare effectively blockaded. I am confident that no ships have been able to enter Havana, even while the larger vessels of our navy are at Santiago. Perhaps few small schooners may have slipped in at night. The blockade of Havana is as tight as wax. I am also sure that the entrance to the har- bor of Cienfuegos is absolutely closed. Probably at other places along the coast some small vessels have been able to run in and out, but there are small towns against which blockade has never been proclaimed. am certain that Spain has no ground on which to appeal to the powers against the effectiveness of our blockade"

TOM HALLAHANs FUTILE AIM.
An Attempt to Shoot George Roberts.
 Tucson Crap Dealer.

There is something in the air of Tucson which incites men to conten- tion. Now there was Tom Hallahan, for many years resident of Phoenix, and he was known here as the best humored and most long suffering of men. In an evil hour he went to Tue son, where he has been seized with thirst for human blood. The Star gives the following account of his at tempt to colonize the hereafter with George Roberts, who can't speak Spanish and would not feel at home in a country in which Captain Robley D. Evans says that will be the prevail ing language soon:
 Tom Hallahan and George Roberts had misunderstanding which led to the former unloading two chambers or his pocket piece, Roberts being the mark. The latter took refuge in the Fashion saloon. One bullet hole is on exhibition in the wall of the Pearson just above and to the right of the rear door on Court street. Lucky for Rob erts the other bullet, too, went wide Of it's mark, but it has not been found. Hallahan was taken to jail. He sent word to his attorney, who obtained his release through Judge Meyer and a peace bond was given in the sum of $500. The sureties were Ed Drew and Paddy Woods. The affair occurred while Old Boreas was doing his level best to raise the wind'-about 6 o'clock last evening. Roberts has been a crap dealer in the Palace sa- loon, where Hallahan has an interest with M M Conn and others-but he don't deal there now. The above inci- dent was all that ruffled the atmos- phere yesterday, barring the sand storm. Judge Meyer will hear the cause and effect in the case this morn ing at 10 o'clock"

 his plans fully, told how he had the Spanish general, Pando, cooped up in without a possibility of his being able to cooperate with the Spanish troops in Santiago and he laid before the American ofhcers maps showing all the mountain trails lead ing to Santiago from the most con- venient landing places east and west of the harbor entrance.

PORTO RICO A MONTH OFF.
The Government Cannot Accomplish
 Miracles.

Washington, June 21.-(SpeciaL)- The alluring prospect so persistenly held out by the newspapers of the starting of an expedition from Fernan- dlna, Fla, within the next ten days, las had most inspiring effect on the troops encamped near Washington, who, though most of them manifestly in no condition to take the field as yet, are chafing under the delay. The old fact remains. however. that if any ex- petition of 2c.000 men starts from any point for Por.o Rico within month from today miracles will have to be
