GEN. LAWTON'S ADDRESS.
On Taking Leave of His Staff at San
tiago.

Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 16.-The fol-
lowing is General Lawton's address to
his staff, a part of which will shortly
return home.
Headquarters Second Division, Fifth
Amy Corps, Santiago de Cuba.
Being ordered to other duty, the un-
dersigned hereby relinquishes the COM
mand of the Second division of the
Fifth army corps, and in so doing de-
sires to express to the officers and en-
listed men of his command his thanks
for and appreciation of the gallant sol
dierly manner in which the duties and
labors required of them have been per-
formed, the character of which is al
most unparalleled in severity, danger
and importance
The second division, established a lit
tie more than two months ago. pro-
ceeded almost Immediately to embark
for the expedition to Santiago. Arriv-
ing off that coast, it was the first to
disembark and the first military force
to land on Cuban soil. Without delay
or waiting to secure ratiOns, baggage or
cOnVenienceS of any kind, the division
proceeded to SibOney, compelling the
garrison there to retire and capturing
the town. The division then resumed
the advance towards Santiago, labOring
night and day amid trying conditions,
in marches, reconnaissance and scout
ing and while covering the advance,
fighting the decisive battle of FL Caney.
Unique in the character of its defenses
and Importance of its situation, Caney
was defended with a stubborn resist
ance permitting of no surrender, and
was carried by a charge, such as is
made only by American soldiers, kill
ing, wOunding or capturing almost eV-
evry Spaniard.
Moving thence within an hour, with
out one man unaccOunted for, towards
Santiago and taking up a position on
the right of the army and hastily en-
enny on the second of July. Extending
to the right and covering the bay of
Santiago, and threatening the safety of
the Spanish ships, the latter sought
safety in flight to the sea.
Fighting by daylight and digging all
night, the division pressed forward to
the right under the lines and to within
one hundred and fifty yards of the en-
emy, the right resting on the Bay of
Santiago The memorable 18th of July
came, and with it the surrender of the
city and the Spanish army, and later
the end of the war with Spain.
When over taken by the dreaded fever
your courage, cheerfulness and forti-
tude did not fOrsake you. When the
history of the wars for Cuban inde-
pendence is written, the Second divis-
ion viii deserve and receive a full page
on every important occurrence that led
up to its successful termination.
To my staff I desire to acknowledge a
special obligation for most loyal and
faithful duties we'll performed under
circumstances and conditions too try
ing to be described.
H W. LAWTON,
Major General Z. s. Volunteers. Com
mand1ng Second Division Fifth Corps.

A WHOPPER.
1,O67 Delegates in the Wis
cOnSin Republican Con-
VentiOn.

Milwaukee, Wis. Aug. 16.--The Re
publican state convention to nominate
a state ticket meets at the exposition
building in this city at noon. 1t will
be the biggest state political gathering
that ever assembled in Wisconsin, 1,067
delegates having been chosen to select
the nominees. Congressman NJ. J.
Griffin of Eau Claire, has been selected
as temporary chairman
The main fight in the convention will
be for the gubernatorial nomination be-
tween Governor Scofield and ex-Con-
gresham Robert NJ. Lafollette of Madi-
son. The campaign has been hot one
between the factions of the two
aspirants for the head of the ticket.
The outlook is that the factions will
fight the battle out between themselves
and either Governor ScOfield or Mr..
Lafollette will receive the nomination.
A large number of the delegates are
already in the city and more are COM
ing in on every train. Conferences with
out number are being held, and the
leaders of both candidates for the head
of the ticket appear to be confident of
winning out The table of delegates
shows 254 to be instructed for Scofield,
and 304 for LafolIette. The uninstruct-
ed largely reported to be for the pres
ent governor, who claims he will be
nominated on the first formal ballot
The result on the balance of the ticket
will depend largely on how the COVER
norship is settled. Jesse Stone, of Wa
tertown, has no opposition in the con-
test for lieutenant governor. Walter L.
Houser, of MOndovi, and w. H. Freltch,
of Jackson, are out for secretary OF
state. There are four candidates for
state treasurer, in ]. o. Davidson, of
Soldiers Grove; Albert Cypreansen, of
Eau Claire; c. NJ. Hambright. of Ra-
cine, and A. G. Nelson, of Waupaca.
For attorney general, E. r. Hicks, OF
Oshkosh, and John L. Erdale, of Madi
son, are those most prominently men
toned.
Several candidates for railroad com
missioner are being talked over, among
whom are Graham Rice, of Superior;
Hoyt A Winslow, of Fond Du Lac, and
John w. Gaines, of Lowell. William A.
F'rick is candidate for reelection as
insurance commissioner, and L. D. Har-
vey and William E. Anderson, of Mil
waukee, are seeking the nomination as
state superintendent. The platform will
doubtless indorse the administration OF
President Mckinley, and the admins
tration of Governor Scofield and will
favor the abolition of railway passes
and more equitable taxation of certain
corporations.

San Francisco, Aug. 16.-Brigadier

headquarters the independent division
Eighth army corps from Camp Merritt

that he does not the troops will be
moved to the Preside and await furth-
er orders The departure of the trans
ports Scandia and Arizona is still de-

ALLISON TOO BUSY.
Cannot Be Induced to Go on Peace
Commission.


Washington, Aug. 16.-The president
today rendered to Senator Allison OF
Iowa an appointment as member CT
the peace commission. Senator Allison,
however could not see his way clear TO
accept the honor. The tender was made
in the course of a lengthy interview to-
day at the White House The appoint
ment of Senator Allison almost as
much as that of Secretary Day has
been regarded as a foregone conclusion.
The administration has been anxious
to secure his services as his long eXper-
ience in public life and especially his
experience a s chairman of the appropr1-
alton committee OF the senate and on
the finance committee would make him
of the knotty financial problems likely
to arise during the deliberations of the
Paris tribunal.
Senator Allison in acknowledging the
honor offered him, explained that the
interests of his state in the senate and
his desire to continue his former Vlgor-
Gus participations in the shaping of
legislation in that body and other du-
ties would preclude his taking up the
arduOus duties at Paris and would de-
mand so much time and serious work
During a portion of the interview ex-
Representative BOurke Cochran OF New
York, was present. His services in the
NICK inley campaign along with other
circum stances, gave rise to speculation
that he had been summoned here by the
president in connection with the max
ing up of the peace commission Mr..
Cochran asserted, however, that he was
here solely on private business anu
merely called to pay his respects. i
am not candidate for any Office and
of an appointment has been made me,
