In New York the Republican lead

nominate D. Cady Herrick, of ALBANY
for governor. He is one of the Judges
of the appellate division of the supreme
court, and his judicial term deos not
expire until 1905

Mayor Van Wyck could be nominated
for first place on the ticket, and 1t is
believed by some Of the leaders that

mayoralty, and the leaders of Tam

Van Wyck to become a candidate for
governor.

but the Democrats are almost certain
to carry the lower house Of the gen

enable them to control the legislature
on joint ballot. There Is no opposition
to the reelection of Senator Murphy
from any Democratic quarter. Ex-
Senator Hill, Richard Croker and other
leaders of the party have gone on
record as favoring Mr.. Murphy's re-
election and If there Is a Democratic
majority in the legislature he will be-
returned without opposition from his

ATBARA, Aug 22.-The transport
column Of the Soudan expedition, which
left Camp Atbara on Aug. 1, marching
along the left bank of the Nile to an
advanced post at Nasri island, arrived
at Metemmeh on Sunday last. The
column traversed the formerly pros
rerous and thickly populated Jaaline
country, which is now completely de-
serted and covered with the whitening
bones and sun-dred bodies of the tribes
massacreed by the De1vishes last year.
Everywhere are evidences of misery
and decay. The skillfully built Der

Metemmeh f.salf. town Of 5000 houses,
is now a city of desolation, it's houses
in ruins, it's alleys blocked with skele-

corpses. The few natives seen are dis

A full advance is expectd to begin
shortly, and it is not unlikely that
Khartoum will be captured by the mid

SAMPSON IN WASHINGTON.
Commander of the North Atlantic
Squadron Called on the President,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Admiral
Sampson called on President McKin-
ley today and spent thirty-five minutes
with him in discussion of the Cuban
commissions plans. He reached here
on the train from New York at $50
o'clock this afternoon, and drove i'm
mediately to the navy department.
There he spent some minutes exchange
ing courtesies with the naval officials,
when Acting Secretary Of the NAVY
Allen drove with him to the White
house. Admiral Sampson referred
briefly to a number of important Incl
dents in the war, and in response to
an inquiry from the president express
ed his qualification at the achievement
of July 3, when Admiral Cerveras fleet
was annihilated. The details of the
great battle were gone over quite thor
ougihly. The president at the outset
took occasion to express his thanks to
the admiral for the success of the bat
tie and showed deep interest in the
story Of the engagement as told by
him. The talk also bore on the rea.
sons for not entering the harbor at
Santiago and the placing Of the mines
and torpedoes in Cuban ports. .
The plans of the commission to ar
range for the evacuation of Cuba were
talked over, and the president was
asked as to whether formal instruc-
lions would be given the commission.
Mr.. Mckinley told the admiral that
written instructions would be given
the commission in a few days. The
talk along this line was Of a general
nature and laid down no strict line
of policy. During the, call Secretary
Alger came over from the war depart
ment to consult the president regard
ing the disposition Of troops, and, find
ing Admiral Sampson there, Joined in
the discussion.
Both Rear Admirals Sampson and
Schley had been invited here by the
president to confer on the plans of the
commission, but Admiral Schley did
not arrive this afternoon.
Acting Secretary Allen announced
positively today that the admiral
would retain his command Of the
North Atlantic squadron while one of
the Cuban commissioners. No time has
been fixed for the commissions de-
parture. Pending the receipt of the
presidents written instructions, Adj
miral Sampson will go to his home in
New Jersey to spend a few days.

SPAIN FURNISHES AMERICA
LIST OF COMMISSIONERS
Official Roster Differs Materially

sence of Ambassador Cannbon. who

We're up today, and accordingly Spain
gave the official notice of the appoint

For Cuba-Maj. Gen. Gonzales Parade.
Rear Admiral Pastor Landero, MARQUIS

For Porto Rico-Maj. Gen. Ortega Diaz.
Commodore of First Rank Valarino Car

Leon.
The foregoing official list ffers from
some of the lists given in previous
dispatches, which have included Ad-
m1ral Montojo. Gen. Blanco Gen. Ma
c1as and several other prominent Span
ism officers. Considerable significance
attaches to the naming of Marquis
Mcntero on the Cuban commission. as
1t indicates a purpose on the part of
Spain to go into the future govern
ment of Cuba. He is the only commits
sioner, Spanish or American, taken
from civil life. He is secretary of the
treasury Of the Cuban autonomist cab
met, and all his interests are connect
ed with the government Of Cuba, rather

The meetings of the peace commits

The president hopes to be abe to an

on the part of the United States this
week.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Estate de-
partment officials give no intimation as
to when the members of the peace
commission will be announced, nor as
to it's personnel the general under
standing being that the president him
self is giving his personal attention to
the selections.
The same is true as to the successor
to Ambassador Hay at London. AS to
the latter it is understood that no final
choice had been made up to today.

Blade Selected for Its Simple and

WASHINGTON, Aug: 22.-The design
for the memorial sword the govern
ment is to present to Rear Admiral
Dewey, according to act of congress,
was finally determined upon today. A
great many designs have been submit
ted. The one selected is marked by
simple and solid elegance The hilt Of
the sword, as originally submitted,
showed an eagles head, but this was
changed to a plain and solid, but high
ly traced gold handle. The blade is
"damascened," and one side bears the
Inscriptions:

In memory of the victory at Manila
Bay, May 1, 1898.
The scabbard is of dark blue dam
ascened metal, with tracery of gold.
One Of the most marked features of
the original design was at the end
Of the scabbard, where, in miniature,
a crown, presumably the Spanish
crown, was being run through by this
Dewey sword. The committee rejected
this suggestive feature and instead Of
the pierced crown there is substituted
two doIphins.

SHAFTER'S PRISONERS.
The Official Number Surrendered
Fixed at 23,720.

WASHINGTON Aug. PA dispatch
received by Adjt. Gen. Corbin tonight
from Gen. Shafter indicates that with
the fall of Santiago 23,726 Spaniards
surrendered. OF this number few
less than 5000 We're guerrillas and vol
unteers, making the total number TO
be returned to Spain $1,000. Follow
ing is the text of the dispatch:
Santiago, Aug. 22.-Adjutant General Wash
ington: l recommend that all the Mauser
rifles and the ammunition for the same be
shipped to some arsenal in the North with
as little delay as possible to prevent rust.
There are several millions of this ammun-
ton and probably 10000 or 1900 stands of
these arms. Of course, large number of
those turned in were Remingtons and another
Inferior weapon. The surrender at Barracoa
shows a total of % ,726 surrendered a little
less than 5000 Of them being guerrillas and
volunteers, leaving about my original eati-
mate of 21,0OO to be shipped. So far no sick
ness among incoming regiments.
-Shafter, Major General.
In another dispatch Gen. Shafter re-
ports that he now has sufficient trans
ports at Santiago to bring the re-
mainder of the American troops to the
United States. The Spanish prisoners
are being embarked to return to Spain
and Shafter expresses the belief that
all will be en- route to their home coun-
try by the latter part Of the week. The
dispatch was as follows:

Adjutant General, Washington: The Berlin
has just arrived with the Ninth United States
volunteer infantry on board. There are now
plenty of transports here and in sight to
take all the balance of troops and a large
number of convalescents. The Spanish pris-
oners will all be loaded by Saturday; many
are going board today. I think they
will leave either the afternoon of the 23d or
the morning of the oath.

POLITICAL STORM CENTERs.
New York in the East and in the
West Wisconsin.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The pres
ent indications are that New York and
Wisconsin will become respectively
the Eastern and Western centers of
politics this year. Each of these COM
monwealths, besides electing full
complement Of state officers in NoVe1n-
Der, will choose a legislature which
will be charged with the duty of nam
ing United States senator. The term
of Edward Murphy Jr, Of New York,
expires next March, as does that Of
John L. Mitchell, Of Wisconsin. These
men hold a strong place in the affec-
lions of the Democracy. They were
not wholly in sympathy with the finan-
cial plank of the platform adopted at
Chicago In 1896, but they put aside
their convictions temporarily and earn
estly supported the ticket there NOM
mated.

chester Guardian.

LONDON, Aug. 22.-The Manchester
Guardian says: We understand that
United States Ambassador Hays recall
to Washington, to accept the portfolio
of secretary of state, is due to his spe-
cial fitness to carry out a policy, in re-
gard to which negotiations have been
proceeding for some time between
Washington and London, and upon
which a substantial agreement has
been reached, whereby the two coun-
tries will act together in the Far East,
or wherever American and British in
terests are identical. There is no in
tention of binding the nations in an
alliance. Each is to be free to pursue
it's own destinies in its own way, but
the governments will act together
automatically where their common in
terests are concerned
