A REMARKABLE HORSE.
Tho story Told n Travelling Newspaper Man
in san Antonio.

III san Antonio.
The travelling newspaper man was in
San Antonio the other day, standing in
front of the Commercial club rooms
when he overheard a conversation on
horses. At the door, hitched to a
heavy road-wagon, commonly called
buggy. was a clay-bank horse belong
ing to a well-known German of the
town. Another man came along and
remarked that the horse was a little
off in his shape.
"Of NIT his shape, Ell? Ish dot vat

The writer asked some one if the
fellow was joking.
mot a bit Why, that is the most
famous horse in Texas. He is not a
ringer but that German drives that
horse all over Texas to the State and
county fairs and wins every race he
enters. He has been known to drive
from here to Dallas hitched to a heavy
blackboard and get there at noon. That
same afternoon he would enter the
first race, and the record does not show
that he was ever yet beaten. This
fact can be proven by more than a
hundred men here in San Antonio"

AN EXPLANATION
Onsred Concerning the Crowding Of the
Seneca and the Concho.

Seneca and the ConchO.
Washington, D. c.. August 3.-CoL
Charles H. Heyl, Of the inspector gen.
erals office, has returned to Wash
ington from New York, where he went
at the direction CT Secretary Alger to
make an examination to fix the respon-
sibiliy of the official who sent the
transport Conche to New York from
Santiago in an unfit condition for car
rying the sick and wounded. Col.
Heyl reported verbally to Secretary
Alger the result of his inquiry, but
refused to talk for publication.
Later in the day, however, the sec
rotary made the following statement
concerning the Conche, as well as the
Seneca, which reached New York about
two weeks ago, after suffering many
privations, owing, it is alleged, to the
unfit condition of the vessel.
''At the time they left Santiago the
general desire of convalescents to
come home doubtless oyercrowded
both ships. The lighters that went
with General Skaters feet were lost
On the way. Two lows of lighters
were subsequently sent, which were
also lost and it was impossible TO
get supplies ashore except with the
beats from the ships and these sup
piled by the navy Later On a lighter
was furnished by the navy, which was
the only one there for many days On
account Of the great number Of sick
and wounded, which was in excess Of
what had been anticipated, there was
no doubt much privation and suffer
ing, especially among the sick at San
tiago. The captains Of the Conche
and Seneca did not report to General
Shafter, nor to Quartermaster Hum
pnrey that they needed water. Had
they done so, Of course it would have
been provided. Then, also, a large
number OF ciyilia1sIrushed aboard to
get away, and they occupied many
state rooms + that should have been
given oVe1' to the soldiers. No recur-
renee N such conditions will be pos
ble"hereafter, and no one regrets
more than the Secretary of War that
anything of the kind should have hap
pened. The general commanding the
army, the surgeon general, and the
quartermaster and commissary de-
partments have done the best they
could, but unforeseen circumstances
named above prevented the convent
ences being provided that otherwise
would have been furnished"
Secretary Alger is determined that
no, further trouble of the kind will
occur, if in his power to prevent it.,
and has sent kilograms to General
Shafter at Santiago, and to the com
manding generals at Porto Rico and
Manila, giving explicit instructions
how to guard against such trouble in
the future.

HOW THEY FEEL AT MADRID.

London, August 3.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Standard says;
The Madrid press strongly blames
the want Of loyalty the volunteers in
Porto Rico have displayed in allowing
the American invaders so easy a walk
over. Indeed, this behavior tends to
diminish the regret felt here at losing
the island.
Santos Guzman, Calvo and other
chiefs of the Spanish party In Cuba,
who have recently returned to San
tanda, speak despondently of the con-
dition of the island, and declare that
America viii be compelled TO keep an
army of 100000 men there for years to
come"

INDIANA REPUBLICANS
Organize Their state Convention Platform
Endorses All Administration Acts.

Endorses All 2GminIslEati lGIs.
indianapolis, Ind, August 3.-The
Republicans of Indiana completed the
organization Of their State convention
this afternoon and adjourned until to-
morrow, when nominations will be
made. United States Senator Charles
W. Fairbanks was made permanent
chairman.
The platform heartily endorses ev-
cry act of the present national admin
istralion, praises the soldiers and sail
ors of the present war and upon the
war question says: while we sincere
ly deplore the necessity Of war, we be-
lieve the President and Congress act
ed wisely in demanding the complete
withdrawal of Spanish sovereignty from
the Island of Cuba and in proceeding
to enforce the demand with the military
and naval power of the government"
The subject of territorial extension
is not directly treated, but referred to
as follows:
Realizing the mighty future of
wealth, prosperity and duty which is
even now upon us, we favor the extern
sion of American trade; the formation
of a consular service accordingly; the
encouragement by all legitimate means
of the American merchant marine; the
creation of a navy as powerful as our
commerce shall be extensive and for
public defense and security and the es-
tablishment of coaling stations and ma
val rendezvous wherever necessary.
1--WE most heartily approve the wis
dom of the annexation OF the Hawaiian
Islands as a wise measure and recon-
mend the early construction of the Nj
caragua canal under the immediate d.
rection and exclusive control Of the
United States government, the import
apce and necessity Of the canal having
been emphasized by recent events con-
rected with the present war with
Spain"
Following is the financial plank:
..The Republicans CT Indiana are I'M
reservedly for sound money. and are
therefore opposed to the heresy 70
which the Democratic party is welded
of the free and unlimited coinage OF
both gold and silver at the ratio OF 10
10 which We regard as absolutely
certain to debase our money and de-
strov our private and public credit,
and cause general business disaster.
eve recognize the necessity Of com
prehensive and enlightened monetary
legislation. and we believe that the
declaration in the St Louis national
Republican platform, for the mainten-
ance of the gold standard and the par
ity of all our forms Of money should
be given the vitality Of public law, and
the money OF the American people
should be made like all its institu-
tions-the best in the world. =
The tariff plank is as follows.
I'VE reafirm cur belief in the doc
trine of reciprocity and protection to
American labor and home industries,
and condemn the Democratic doctrine
of tariff for revenue only, as unsound
and unsuited to the best interests Of
the country; a doctrine whose falsity
has been demonstrated by our expert
ence under the Wilson revenue bill,
that plunged the country into CONNER
cial and financial distress. from which
it is fast recovering since the change
from that Democratic policy"
