The VIRGINIA REPUBLIcANs-A let.
ter from Richmond says: 1t begins TO
appear as though harmony might be
restored in the ranks of the republican
party. Notwithstanding Chairman Az
nevis committee sat down upon every
proposition made by the Wickhamites,
the latter have decided not to call rival
conventions in the congressional dis.
tricts. Col. Wickham's followers will
20 into the county and city conventions
called by their opponents and will try
to capture them. New local commit.
tees are to be chosen and each district
convention will elect three mbers of
the State committee. The State com
mittees so chosen will elect an execu.
tive committee, which in turn will Sc.
lect chairman. The Wick hamites are
confident they can rally the most votes.
This being true. they will recognize the
call by the Agnew body as regular and
will fight for the control of the party
machinery.

spaniards Graduating outposts.

NEAR SANTIAGO DE CUBA, June 20.
The American troops spent yester-
day in Reconnaissance. Gen. Shafter,
with small escort, went almost to
Caney, small town five miles north
east of Santiago. Caney now seems to
hold only about three hundred Spanish
troops. The small number of troops
now there indicates that the Spaniards
have practically evacuated the place
and this is believed to be the case.
A corporal with seven men was sent
on outpost duty two miles from Santi-
ago yesterday morning and was forgot
ten until the afternoon, when the party
was found By Gen. Shafter and sent
into camp. The men had repeatedly
seen the Spaniards, who did not offer
to modest them, and the Americans
spent the day as if enjoying picnic in
the woods. The corporal said that if
he had with him sufficient force he
could have brought in forty Spanish
prisoners.
