"The magnitude OF Cuban commerce
as well as us rapid expansion are shown
by the navigation returns Of the port or
Havana for tho month OF February.
Taking Just the vessels engaged in trade

EXCITED MUCH ATTENTION.
Hon. \. j. Montague one of the Con
Vention's Leading Figures.

A noticeable feature in connection with
yesterdays convention was the attention
attracted by Hon. A. j. Montague. lie
was applauded enthusiastically whenever
the members of the convention caught
sight OF him whether he was entering
the hall or rising TO make a speech.
His address. delivered near the close Of
the meeting. when the delegates were
tired out, excited the greatest interest
and was applauded continuously.

Mr.. MARTINS BUSY DAY.
The Senator Was Called Upon by Many
ofthc Delegates.

Senator Martin spent yesterday in his
rooms at Murphys. lie did not leave
them except when he went out for his
meals
From early morning until late at night
he was kept busy receiving visitors.
Scores Of persons who came TO the con-
ference called upon him and gave ass
surances of their friendship. They told
him he must not construe their presence
In the convention as opposition TO his
reelection. Some Of his visitors were
members Of the legislature
Mr. Martin was called upon by Times
reporter and asked If he desired 20 say
anything concerning the work of the con-
ference He stated that there was moth
ing he cared 10 say.
The Senator was in fine humor and was
evidently very much gratined because OF
the visits Of so many friends.

the fight was the hottest I might relate
that about three DAYS after the beginning
OF hostilties IT became generally known
that the First Kansas Regiment would
make an advance beyond Caloocan that
afternoon. Hundreds rushed 10 the Kan
sas line. just before the attack an order
" from brigade headquarters was sent
along the line TO see how many ceftr
men there were in each company. In
one company the captain was uncer-aln
