and they say MORO Castle shows great,
gaping breaches in its walls. Later IN
the day it appears. a landing of Amerl-
can troops was effected near Daiquiri,
some distance east of Arguadores and
near the railroad station connecting with
Santiago. Later an engagement took
place between the American forces and
Il column of Spanish troops which had
been sent against the landing party.
The accounts of the battle obtainable
here, being from Spanish sources, do not
set forth the result, and therefore it is
to be inferred that the Americans were
victorious, and that is the belief that
prevails here There is report cur
rent at Cape Haytien that the first class
armored Spanish cruiser Maria Teresa
was sunk yesterday by the fire of the
American ships.
1t is said that only five hundred AmeF-
lean troops were landed ut Daiquiri, or

that the fire of the American soldiers

At 8 o'clock last evening the Gre
dentials Committee took up the con-
tests from Santa Clara and Nevada
Counties, that from Nevada County
first. In this the speakers were limited
to fifteen minutes each. The contest
was between John F. Kidder and N B.
Brown, the former claiming to have
been elected by the people, the latter
that he was appointed by the County
Central Committee. Kidder based his
claim on the fact that the County Cen
trail Committee had no authority to
nominate any delegate, and that he was
elected lawfully by the people
Brown claimed that Kidder and him
self went before the committee and that
he won, after which Kidder placed his
name on tickets and got some votes.
He also claimed that it has been the
custom for ten years for the County
Central Committee to appoint the dele
gate at large. On Colonel Eddy's mo-
tion it was decided that but ten dele
gates from Nevada County be seated
and that they be allowed to cast eleven
votes. The contestants We're rejected

Loud of San Francisco moved that
all resolutions presented for the consid-
Grafton of the Committee on Platform
and Resolutions be submitted without
debate.
A Santa Cruz delegate protested
against what he termed gag" law, and
contended that all resolutions offered
ought to be explained when offered by
delegates who We're not members of the
committee.
A rising vote was necessary to settle
the question, and the motion was de-
clared carried, though the vote was
close. 1t meant, as was proven later
on, that the meeting of the Committee
on Platform and Resolutions should be
strictly executive.
A motion that when the convention
adjourn it do so until 10 o'clock this
morning, was amended to read y
o'clock, and as so amended was declared
carried by an extremely doubtful viva
voce vote.
1t was announced that the Second

at 1:45 o'clock the convention adjourn

Brown announced his withdrawal
from the gubernatoria1 contest. He
said he was satised he could not

in the fight and thus embarrass the

day withdraw from the fight and
that Gage would be nominated by
