NEW YORK REPUBLICANS
Meets TOday-ROOseveIt to
be NOminated-Black Not a Candf-
date-The Platform.

Saratoga, n. Y, September 26.-There
is hardly any impartial observer here
tonight who does not believe that the
ticket to be nominated by the republi-
can state convention tomorrow will be
headed by Colonel Theodore Roose-
welt for governor and Timothy L.
Woodruff for lieutenant governor.
1t was pretty we'll decided late to-
night that Governor Black will not go
into the convention. His friends are
urging him to do so, but up to this
time he has stoutly maintained that
it would not be dignifed. The fact
hat the platform will endorse Blacks
administration is indicative of good
feeling.
The leaders of the party today put
the finishing touches on the platform
and the document is ready to be report
ed to the convention tomorrow after
noon. 1t will be one of the briefest
platforms ever adopted by a republican
state convention, comprising not more
than 1000 words. The document will
not be made pubic until 1t is exported
to the convention. but the Associated
Press is able to give a synopsis of it's
principal planks. The platform will
endorse the administration of Cover
nor Black and review the proceedings
o fthe last two sessions of the republi-
can legislature. Beyond that the plat
form will not deal with state issues,
but will chiefly touch questions of a
national scope, including an unquali-
fled and vigorous Endorsement Of Pres
ident McKinley's administration. One
of the most important plank will de-
clare in favor of the retention Of the
Philippine islands and against the re-
turn to Spain of any conquered lands.
Another plank will recommend the
passage Of a currency bill which shall
reorganize the government paper mon
ey on the basis of the gold standard.

THE PEACE COMMISSION
Want the Services of Captain Bradford
of the Naval Equipment Bureau.

Washington, September 26.-The first
word that has come to Washington
from the American members Of the
peace commission sine. their departure
save a brief announcement of arrival
in England, was received at the navy
department today, being a cablegram
requesting hat Captain Bradford,
chief Of the equipment bureau, be sent
at once to Paris to assist the commits
sion. AS the officer is the leading ex-
pert of the navy department in the
matter of coaling stations, ocean
routes of communication and strategic
points, the inference is hat the COM
mission expects to begin promptly the
consideration of those subjects so far
as they relate to the Philippines and
the Ladrones. Respecting the latter
group, from which the United States
commissioners are to make a selection
for a coaling station, it has been
found that the only good harbor is on
the island of Guam, the capital of the
group, which was captured by one
of the warships bound for Manila; yet
if that is taken there will be SO little
of the group left without harbor that
it is believed it would be best for both
parties-the United States and Spain
to allow all the islands to go with
Gaum into United States possession.

The French Cabinet Decides that There
shall be a Revision of This Case.

Paris, September 26.-At a meeting
of the cabinet this morning all the
ministers being present, a decision was
made in favor of a revision of the trial
of former Captain Dreyfus n the
documents in the case will be sent to
the court of cessation.
The cabinet ordered the minister OF
justice, M. Sarrien, to lay before the
court of cessation the petition of
Madame Dreyfus, wife of the prisoner
of Devils island, for a revision of her
husbands case. The court, therefore,
will decide the legal question as to
whether the first trial Of Captain Drey-
fus was vitiated by the forgery COM
mitted by the late Lieutenant Colonel
Henry, who was a witness before the
court-martial and who confessed to
having forged a document in the case.
The minister of justice has annOunc-
ed that he has given Instructions that
proceedings are to be taken immedi-
ately against any one attacking the
army.
The cabinet meeting vas prolonged
and animated. The minister of agri-
culture, M. Viger, is reported to have
bitterly opposed a revision and it is ru-
mored he will resign. He left the meet
ing before it ended, remarking to a
newspaper man that he was complete
1y VoiceleSS.
1t is supposed hat the instructions
to prosecute any one attacking the ar
my were issued at the request of Cen
eral Chanoine.
The city is excited and the bourse is
in a disturbed condition. Conservative
papers, however, counsel the people to
remain calm. 1t is doubtful if the ac-
ton of the bin is popular among
the masses, particularly the country
people, who it is pointed out, still
cling to the fetch of the honor of the
army Crowds OF people outside the
ministry of the interior, where the cab
met council held the meeting, cheered
the minister and there were shouts
of ''Vive Brissoni" ''Vive lie Revis-
iOni"

CUBAN
Questions Before the Commissioners.
Spaniards to Begin Leaving Latter
Part Of OctOber-Smaller Garrison
Needed Than at First Supposed.

Washington, September 26.-Com-
modore Eaton. of the Resolute, has
been given additional duty in connec-
ton with the American military COM
mission at Havana. The exact need
for this is not known at the navy de-
partment, the order having been made
at the request of the commission, but
it is supposed that Admiral Sampson
wishes the officer to make an eXami-
nation of the Spanish naval properties
scattered among the various Cuban
ports outside of Havana. The naval
authorities are deeply concerned as to
the disposition of this property to be
made by the commission, and owing
to it's peculiar status, not being cap
tured, yet actually subject to the dis
posal of the commission, it is not easy
for them to forsee the outcome of the
commissions deliberations on this
point.
Nothing has been heard from the
commission itself since the cablegram
of yesterday relative to the Comal. The
authorities here feel that by consent
ing to the entry of the vessel with
food supplies the Spanish officials in
a large measure ridded the question
of evacuation of the urgency that at
tached to it.
The daily reports that come to the
department from Santiago make it ap-
parent that even among the immune
regiments, made III ,aSSOme of them are,
of negroes supposed to be almost eX-
empt from attacks of climatic fevers,
much sickness prevails and it is only
a fair assumption that the ordinary
troops would suffer more were they
now sent into Cuba. Therefore while
the American and Spanish commits
siOners at Havana are still seeking to
reach an agreement as to the time to
be allowed for ~evacuating the island, 1t
SAY be said hat the president expects
that the result will be a compromise
between the dates mentioned on each
side and that the movement will begin
toward the latter part of October to be
concluded soon after new year. This
will accord very we'll with the plans
of the war department, as it will en-
able it to avoid sending to Cuba any
considerable number of soldiers until
the healthy season is we'll under way.
1t is the present purpose to make the
displacement of the Spanish forces in
detail, not sending Over any large ex-
petition, but establishing a garrison at
one point after another, beginning
probably with the western end of the
island. The authorities have reached
the conclusion, in view of the spirit
shown by the Cubans Is reported to
it, that it will not be necessary to have
nearly SO large a force to garrison the
island as was at first anticipated, and
it is thought now that not more than
%, 900 men will be required.

ed one whole block, with the exception
of the Mt. Olive hotel-four stores,
two livery stables and Doctors office,
with buggy. harness and barns, etc.
with very near all the loss on the
stocks which were burned. The losses
are roughly estimated at ST., 600, which
is as follows:
r. j. Switzerland. five store houses,
livery stables, buggy and out houses.
warehouse. stock of f1our and meat,
etc; loss $500, partly insured.

within less than four months. as the
other was on June 7th. The block
which is now in ashes is on Front
street, in front of the railroad ware
house, which is in the business part
of the town. The origin of the fire
is thought to have been incendiary, as
the fire, which when first seen, was
burning at the back end Of Mr.. B. b.
Jackson's store on the outside.
The block will be rebuilt in brick
buildings shortly. All the buildings
that were burned We're WOO struc-

Maria Teresa K~aised-She Steams
10 COMMUNICATIONS Insists That
He Can Raise the COIOn-COnditiOns
In Santiago Much Improved.

Santiago, September 26.-Details just
received from the floating Of the Span
ish armored cruiser Maria Teresa show
that, with the help of the dynamite,
she was blown off the rocks into deep
water, on September 23rd and proceed
ed under her own steam sometime af-
terward to Guantanamo, accompanied
by one of the tugs Of the Merritt
Wrecking Copany. she will shortly
leave for New York.
Naval Constructor HObson says he
can raise the Spanish cruiser CristObal
Colon. with the use of bags in a week,
if given authority to do so. COmmo-
dore Watson thinks he cannot. The
Colon, it appears, was not seriously
damaged by shells; but her valves
were opened, which caused her to sink.
The other two Spanish cruisers sunk
in the battle of Santiago, the Almi-
rante Oquendo and the Vizcaya, are
useless wrecks of melted iron.
HObsOn says he expects to return to
New York on the Colon.
General LaWtOn,S headquarters nave
been moved from the palace to the Of
fees formerly occupied by General
Toral, the Spanish commander at this
place.
In answer to a number of small cap
italists who have written here asking
for information and advice as to COM
ing to Santiago, General Wood advises
them not to come here until December,
as there are no facilities at present for
the transfer of property. After that
time there will be many opportunities
for the use of their brains and capital.
The city of Santiago is cleaner and
healthier now than ever before in its
history. No cases of yellow fever are
recorded. Upon instructions from
Washington, schools here will be open
ed on the first Monday in October.
