GRAND RAPIDS. Mich, June ga
fusion ticket was nominated by the
state convention Of the Democrats,
Populists and. Silver Republicans Of
Michigan. 1t represents OH equal dis.
tribution between the three parties.
The platforms do not couflict on any
essential point. That adopted by the
Populists is, perhaps, less radical than
heretofore, and at the request Of the
Populists plank was inserted in the
Democratic platform favoring tho in-
itiative and referendum. The Silver
Republicans also modified their dec
laration to make it more in accordance
with the Democratic PLATFORM The
latter reaffirms allegiance to the Chi.

PLAN OF ATTACK.

0ontiaGo to BE Overwhelmed by tho
American and Cuban Forc.a
WAst1SaToN, June 2a. -Just week
sfter the United States troops left Tor.
tugas they began to disembark on Gu.
ban soil, landing at two points SO as to
attack Santiago in tho rear and at the
sides, with the navy to help the work
in front Thus the military invasion
of Cuba may be said to have fairy be-
gun, for though the United States ma.
rines were the first of the regular force
to land upon Cuban soil, their purpose
was not after all, invasion, but the
establishment of q naval base and a
base for cable station, in both of
which
They Were Eminsntiy Successful.
To the regular troops was left the be.
ginning of the formidable task of in.
yading Cuba in force by land. 1t is
evident from the nature Of General
Miles advices that in addition to the
troops now landing, supposedly not
far from Playa del Este, on the east
side Of Santiago bay, the second
landing is going on at point just
about the same distance west of the
harbor entrance. The two divisions
probably will be pushed forward stead.
lily 60 take the town of Santiago on
either flank, while to Garcia's and
Rabi's bands of insurgents may he lett
the task Of bringing on the attack i'll
the rear. The distance ON the west
tide is
slightly Greater Than on the East,
but it probably is not greater by either
route than Is OF IL miles. The country
is mountainous, but there is no reason
to believe it may not be travsrsed by
the United States troops within u
week, even If it should be necessary to
construct; entrenchmentsS every. few
miles in order to beat back sSpaniards
With the beginning of the military
S1ovement the navy will draw close in
thore to pound away at the forts at the
entrance and to draw the Gordon Of
warships so closely around the mouth
as to make it impossible for Cevera' s
vessels to escape even if they are dis
posed to take the most desperate
chances.
