Hutchinson, Kan, June 9.-The Re-
publican state convention, which as
sembled here at IL o'clock "Wednesday
morning, did not finish its business I'M
til nearly 1 o'clock this Thursday
morning. The contest for the nominal

WORK OF SIMPSONS GUNS.
Ell Moro Now Resembles a Pictur-
esque Ruin.


London, June 9-The Morning Posts
correspondent cables, in part, as fol-
lows from Kingston, Jamaica, under
date of June 8, as to the bombardment
at Santiago:
when the fleet opened fire the Span
1Sh batteries answered promptly,
though at first feebly. Then the heavy
batteries, armed with Krupp and
Armstrong guns, poured in a storm of
flame. The guns of these forts were
brought to Santiago by the Montzerrat
on her last voyage from Cadiz, and are
believed to have been manned by Ger
man and French experts. The Span
iardS had boosted that no fleet could
live before them, but their aim proved
poor, and the warships suffered COM
paratively little damage.
THE Yankee formerly Ell Norte),
manned by militia, kept inshore, fight
ing the batteries near the beach. and
did useful work, the militia giving good
proof of their value. They fought per-
haps with too much eagerness, thus
losing some efficiency. During the bonn
bardment a battery of field pieces at
the Cuban headquarters, on a mountain
top to the north of Santiago, opened
fire with a ten-mile range.
The Dolphin shelled a small fort
were seen, but no reply was made from
the shore, and it was afterwards dis
covered that the SpaniardS had mount
ed several Quaker" guns. Only two
pieces were served east of Moro castle,
and these were silenced. The Marble
head and New Orleans were sent re-
spectively west and east, to attack any
isolated Notifications. They worked in
shore, keeping their guns going rapidly.

damaged the rudder and injured sew
eral seamen.
The destroyer Furor, which was
cruising about Cayo Smith, in the har-
Dor, made several rusheS out from her
post. In one of these a shell exploded
deck, damaged her turtle back and
compelled her to take refuge further up
in the harbor.
VERY little damage was done to the
American ships. 1t is reported that
the Suanee was struck by shell which
had burst and wounded a seaman in the
leg slightly. Some of the vessels SUI
fered somewhat from the recoil of the
heavy guns. The shells did such eXecu-
ton that MORO castle has the appear
ance of u picturesque ruin.
From the Premier we could see the
shells striking the hill, tearing trees
down and scattering the rocks and
earth in all directions. Indeed the sky
line near MORO, from our view point,
is quite changed, and now shows great
gaps. Vegetation is exterminated, and
all the buildings are demolished where
the shells fell. The Spanish guns on
the coast. with the exception of the
smooth bores on Moro. were silent, and
many were ruined

fastening Philippine Expedition.

washington, June S.-The war de-
partment is very busy in arranging de-
tails for the Manila expeditions, hav-
ing undertaken to make ready the
transports that will carry the soldiers
from San Francisco to ManilO. Work
on them is being hurried under tele
graph orders and by the end of the
week there will be sufficient military
force afioat to enable Admiral Dewey
when it reaches him, to do pretty much
as he pleases at Manila. This is q pro-
ject very much at heart just at present,
for, fully recognizing the good military
qualities displayed by the insurgents,
according to the newspaper reports, in
their combats around Cavite, the Off
Gals are loathe to depend entirely upon
them for any length of time, fearing a
relapse on their part into savagery
that might startle the civilized world.

Philippine insurgents, commanded by
Aquinaldo The rebel junta and wealthy
Philippine Islanders resident here are
jubilant over the news and the United
States consulate has been crowded all
day.
The American consul, Mr.. Wildman,
has been the recipient of hundreds of
congratulations from the junta, giving
him as much credit for the reported
capture of Manila as they gave Aquin-
aldo himself, since Mr.. Wildman has
been their answering champion and
has advised them in all their plans.
Consul Wildman does not credit the
report that Manila has actually hean
occupied, but he belle yes that it will be
by or before next Saturday.
The Spaniards have been fighting
desperately. but their craftsmanship is
poor and they have lost heavily.

can be expended. If the Santiago forts
have responded to the shower of shot
and shell poured into them by Ad-
miral Sampson they will have so much
less ammunition to use later on. The
supply for Admiral Sampson will be
ceaseless. Every ship that goes to his
fleet with supplies will carry projectiles
and there will be no danger that he will
run short. II is pointed out at the
navy department that Admiral Cervera
and the defenders of Santiago cannot
respond without exposing themselves
to the danger of running out at the
time when they will most need an
abundant supply

SPANISH MENDACITY.
Statement That 1900 Americans
Were Killed Is Ridiculed.

Washington, June S.-The robust i'm
agination displayed in the Spanish bull
letin recounting the killing of 1,500 of
SIMPSONS men during Mondays fight
with the forts of Santiago, caused a
good deal of amusement at the navy
department, and the officers profess
themselves, though willing to meet the
Spaniards with arms, to be utterly un-
able to contend with them in the field
of mendacity. To some of them this
bulletin recalled wildly the stirring
bulletins issued almost daily from the
Spanish legation here in the days of
Senior de LONE, telling how the Span
iards, with the loss of one man, had
managed to annihilate the Cuban
army.

NOTHING BUT DELAY.
Philippine Expedition May Not Sail
For Another Week.

For Another Week.
San Francisco June S.-There is a
lull at Camp Merritt. The volunteers
have again settled down to the daily
routine life of soldiers, and have given
up the idea of getting away to Manila
this week.
The men are drilled every day. but
that is about all the men have to think
Of. The transport vessels which will
make up the second fleet to be sent to
Admiral Dewey are still being loaded
with their supplies, ammunition, etc,
but the work is being done in such a
leisurely manner that unless the steve
dores employed are actually driven to
work faster, the vessels will not get
away for a week yet.
Then, again, the government sup
plies are arriving very slowly and this
has much to do with the slow work of
loading the vessels. Of the three YES
sells, the eZalandia is about ready, and
can sail on short notice.
The board of health of this city has
decided to confer with General Otis
with view to promoting better san
itary conditions than now exist at
Camp Merritt. 1t is feared that the
presence of $4,000 men in camp may
threaten the health of the city, and the
board has decided that some means
must be taken to alleviate unsanitary
conditions. that may result in cpl

A FATAL WRECK
In Which Engineer James Hannaxay Lost
His Life.

A most disastrous wreck oc-
cured ashort distance west of No.
19 Burnt tunnel, on the Balti-
moro 6 Ohio railroad near Cairo
at 1880 Monday night. No. 4
east bound express which arrives
here at 9 IA, when within a short
distance of the mouth of the
tunnel, encountered rocks upon
the track which had been placed
there by some boys.
The rocks were seen upon the
tracks by Mrs. Wagner and her
sister, but to late to save the i'll
fated train, which crushed in to
them. The engine left the track
and run upon the ties until the
tunnel was reached, when it
turned and struck the masonry
at the mouth of the tunnel, side
wise crushing to death engineer
James Hannaway. His fireman
had leaped before the engine
struck. The bravery of the
engineer who lost his life was
the means of saving the lives of
a train load cfpassengers, for had
he left the engine when he sight
ed the rocks, the whole train
would have piled up at the
tunnels mouth. Instead he re-
versed his engine, put on the air
and bravely met his death. His
body was removed soon after
wards, and he lived for half an
hour. None of the passengers were
