"GONE WHERE? GOD KNOWS.
The Grim Reaper Has Harvested in the
Reconcentrados and Now None of
Them Are Left.


New York, Sept. 2S.-Among the pas
sengers who arrived today on the steam
er City of Washington from Havana
We're DR.. Jose Congosto and Captain
Fred Sharp, of the Merritt & Chapman
Wrecking company. Dr. Congosto will
sail for Havre October !.
To an interviewer DR.. Congosto said:
'"The evacuation of Cuba by Spain is a
matter of time, but when 1 left Havana
everything was progressing well. One
reason for delay Is that we have over
5000 sick who must be taken care of and
cannot be left behind"
DR.. Congosto was asked as to the con-
dition Of the reconcentrados. There
are no reconcentrados now" he an
swered, with a smile. What has be-
come of them?" was the next question.
They're gone
"Where?"
God knows"
DO you mean to say they are all
dead?"
THAT probably explains it better
than I can. 1t is subject l prefer not
to discuss"
Congosto further said: ''There were
brave soldiers at Santiago, and if their
leader lacked courage he deserves to be
punished. 1t Is not true that the Span
ish army there lacked supplies and am
munltion. If Toral had pushed forward
instead of retreating toward the city, he
certainly would have caused repulse i"
Ventor Won Hollenstein, an American
citizen and member of the German Red
Cross society, who had been in prison
several months at Havana, charged
with completely with Cuban movements,
was also among the passengers on the
City of Washington. He was released
the first part of this month, crippled and
sick from harsh treatment.

WOOL EXCHANGE SUSPEKDS.
The Cause for This is Alleged to Have Been
Denrassinn in Prices.

New York, Sept 2S.--The Herald says:
It became known last night that the
Wool exchange would today suspend
operations. 1t was stated that this ac-
tion was decided upon at a meeting of
the leading directors held yesterday.
The depression of the wool trade, it was
said, would be given by the directors as
the cause of the cessation of business.
The Wool exchange was established
about year and half ago, with cap
itai of $1,000000, chiefly through the eff
forts of James McNaughten. president
of the Tradesmen's national bank
The object was to provide cooper
ative association for wool growers wool
dealers, wooden manufacturers, gen.
eral merchants, forwarders, bankers,
brokers and others interested in any in
dustry producing or manufacturing
wool. The exchange is to bring the man
ufacturer and grower together on terms
of equality, fraternity and mutual
profit.
Auction sales have been held twice a
month for the benefit of members hav-
ing wool which they desired to put up
for competitive biJCsng.a

new YORK DEMOCRATS.
Silver Men Make Their Presence Felt and
Promise to Be Troublesome e-Resolu-
tion Indorsing Chicago Platform
Turned Down.

Syracuse, n. Y, Sept. 2S.-The
Democratic state convention met here
today absolutely without any slate OF
program other than the temporary
organization agreed upon in the state
committee last night. Never before
have all the prominent leaders of the
Democratic party appeared in the con-
venton and consulted upon a programe
with such result: Richard Croker,
David b. Hill, Senator Murphy and
Senator McCarren, representing Hugh
Mclaughlin, had frequent conferences
but no agreement had been reached as
to candidates.
The leaders, however, confidently
assert that all differences will bt
settled during the day. The crowd is
undoubtedly the largest seen at state
convention and Tammany has 2,00C
men present. The silver adherentS arc
well represented. They had numerous
conferences, the results of which have
been conveyed to the party leaders. II
is understood they will demand a place
upon the ticket for one of their repre-
sentatives, probably Wilbur F. Porter,
the party's candidate governor two
years ago.
Delegate Pierce, of Monroe. tried to
get resolution before the convention
indorsing the Chicago platform relative
to silver, but it was not allowed to be
read. He attempted to speak. but was
ruled out and the resolution referred.
At 1888 recess was taken. until II
o'clock tomorrow.
When Croker entered the convention
hall, appearance caused tremendous
demonstration. Senator Murphy also
was literally applauded. At 1882,
Chairman Elliot Danforth announced
the state committee had directed him to
present as temporary chairman George
M. Palmer. of Schoharic. Chairman
Palmer's address opened with an eX-
preston of opinion that signs point tt
Enthusiastically to an overwhelming
Democratic victory in November H,
charged the Republicans with havin!
squandered the peoples money; law
enacted by them favored the classes al
against the masses: many new ant
needless offices had been created tt

been passed under the Republican part,

protection and fostering Of monoplie'
and trust.

NICARAGUA CANAL.
1t Is Entirely Feasible and Will Cost Less
Than SlO0,O0O.OOO.

New York, Sept. ?s.-Eight govern
ment engineers who have been engage,
on the preliminary survey of the Mica
ragua canal have arrived in this city on
the steamship Altai,
Ebens Whoter was the chief engineer
The prelninary work was finished and d
vast amount of data is brought back
which will be included in the official re-
ports to be placed before congress. The
surveys show the proposed canal to be
entirely feasible.
The Ludlow commission estimated the
cost of the canal at Sl33, 900, 900. Ad-
miral Walker named 1925. 100000 AS the
aggregate cost. The report of the engi-
neers will place the estimate at less
than Sl00,000,000. BY changing the
location of the dam from Ochoa to a
point IA miles lower down. the building
of the San Juan basin and its costly en-
bankment can be avoided, thus saving
$40. 600. 900.

explosion of powder in the basement OF
the four story building, 40 North 4th
street, occupied by C., and j. McClan.
fishing tackle and sporting goods, blew
ont the front Of the structure, setting it
on fire. Three women, who jumped
from the third story. were fatally in
jured, and Fireman Bohley was cut
about the head by falling glass. 1t is
thought others are still in the building.
Later.-A list of the injured is: Kate
Weldon, Kate Gaull, Florence Higbec,

injured; Joe Deter, fireman. cut by fly
ing glass; Frederick Bohy, fireman, hit
by runaway team, head cut and badly

known; A. Ragalo, hit by runaway
reel team and badly injured.
The first explosion, in the basement
of the McClain building, where IA guam
tity of powder and shells was stored
set fire to the building. and shattered
| the glass in the store fronts for some
distance along 4th street. On the third
floor of the McCIain building, several
young women were at work. Maggie
Dinkel escaped by walking along IL
narrow ledge in front to the next build
ing south. Kate Weldon, Kate Gaull
and Florence Higbee, unable to do this.

up ladders to take them away. The
firemen took ont one of the women, but
by some mischance dropped her to the
pavement. Virginia Redhertord, stcno-
graphcr, is missing, and it is believed
She perishcd in the flames.
A second explosion sent bricks and
glass flying among the tiremen, injnring
live of them. Two, it is reported. can
not live. This explosion frightened IA
team hitched to reel and the horses
ran away, injuring one fireman and a
citizen. In less than an hour after the
fire started, the walls of the McClain
bnilding fell. The loss will probably
aggregate 100000.

NOT IN ACCORD
The Paris Peace Commission Not
Agreed AS to What Stand That
Body Shall Take
WIDE RANGE OF OPINION
However, the Expectation is That General
Merritt Will Be Able to Bring the
American Commission Into
Unity.

Paris, Sept. 2S.-The United States
peace commission went into session at
II o'clock this morning.
The Gaulois says: "In spite Of the nlys-
terry surrounding the matter, we are
able, from a high source to give an out
line of the position of both commits
sions. While the American have in
structions much more precise than those
given the Spaniards, there is diversity
of opinion in regard to the Philippines.
Senator Gray opposes all annexation.
H is opinion, therefore, differs totally
from that of the other four commission
ers, some of whom would be content
with coaling station at the Philip
pines. possibly Cavite, while others, like
Senator Davis, advocate the annexation
of the whole archipelago"
The Gaulois. however, believes the
Americans, by mutual concessions, will
come to an agreement and will all be
largely influenced by Major General
Merritt's reports on the situation.
Instructions to the Spanish commits
sion are, according to the Gaulois, brief
ly to hold out and make the best terms
possible. The popular sentiment in
Spain. it is added, thinks it better to
abandon the Philippines than to keep
them under conditions rendering them
ungoyernable

NUGGETS FROM THE HILLS.

Randsburg is beginning to recover from the paralyzing effects of the fire and every body has more cheer full look.
 New Mexico has lately had some rich gold strikes. One is reported from Cochiti, which pans out $45O per ton, and one near Silver City that runs $1, 500 per ton in gold.
 The Golden Nugget edition of the San Francisco Report is twenty eight page edition, in which the dis covery of gold in the state and its present mining interests are fully re- viewed an dmary hopeful prophecies made for the future.
 The committee appointed by the late mining congress at Denver to urge upon congress the institution of a department of mines and min ing is now in Washington The dele gation is headed by ex-Congressman legislation, and will work in harmony with the California miners associa- ton to achieve good results.
 s. A. Parnell, superintendent of the Old Dominion Copper Mining and Smeltnig company, has returned to Globe from Michigan af,er four weeks absence. He spent the time at his home in Red Jacket, in the heart of the Lake mining district, and greatly enjoyed the visit. For the present the company will not enlarge it's operations, although several mat ters of importance are under consider ation. MT Parnall confirms the rail road news and is informed that con struction will begin by the 10th oi next month.
 A very rich strike was made in the w. J. Bryan in Randsburg district re- gently by Dave Harris. The ledge matter is about three feet wide, and a narrow strip a few inches in width | produces gold by the handful-2l same Klondyke. In breaking up z small piece to put in the mortar fol horning, nuggets the size of pc: and larger were brought to light, ant there is the same kind of stuff al through the pay streak above spokeI of.

UNITED GLOBE TO RESUME.

We are informed by E. H. Cook, superintendent of the United Globe. that coke has been ordered by his company and the expectation is that the 150 ton furnace will be blown in about Feb. 1, by which time it is thought coke will have begun to arrive at Geronimo. There is a weeks sup ply of coke on hand at the smelter.
 In anticipation of the resumption of smelling the force has been consider ably increased during the pas two weeks and work is being prosecuted in all the mines which are expected to produce ore. The company has ex- pended upwards of $500, 1000 the past year in development work and the various mines look well and give promise of a sufficient supply of ore to keep the shelter running without interruption.
 The Hoosier shaft is down 500 feet and the Gray shaft 230. A hoist is being erected over the latter shaft The Hoosier and Gray are among the best mine owned by the company
