PORTO RICAN SOLDIERS.
A Native Battalion Fine Addition to
the Army.

Washington, Rugust 23.-According to re-
cent advices received at the war depart
ment, the experiment of enlisting natives
of the West Indies into the American army
has proved quite successful in the case of
the Porto Rican battalian of United States
volunteers, which body completed its or
ganization few weeks ago. This battalion
is commanded by Major L. P. Davidson.
and is the only one of its kind in the army
Lieutenant BRAND, who is the battalion
adjutant has written letter to Major
johnson, of the adjutant generals office,
speaking in high terms of the composition
of the battalion. He says that the Porto
Rican soldiers are fine lot of men, obedl-
ent and willing to learn; they take great
pride in being soldiers of the United States
army and always dress very cleanly and
neat His opinion is that Porto Rican SOL
diers, officered by Americans, will be a sue
cess and valuable addition to the United
States army.

MISSISSIPPIANS
NOMINATE LONGING
Democratic State Convention Met In
Jackson Yesterday.
THERE WAS NO OPPOSITION
William ]. Bryan Enthusiastically En-
dOrSed as Leader.
CHICAGO PLATFORM REAFFIRMED
Governor McLaurin's Administration
Approved as Clean and Business
Like-J. L. Power Gets
Secretary of State
CHICAGO PLATFORM REaFFlRMED

Jackson, Miss, August 23.-Hon. A. H.
Longino, of Washington county, was today
nominated for governor of Mississippi by
tho democratic state convention without
opposition. No other name was presented
to the convention and Mr.. Longino's nomi-
nation was declared by accimation.
There had been large claims during the
day that there was a majority against
Longino on the first ballot, which could be
manipulated to defeat him, but when the
caucus met the weakness of the candidates
was SO manifest that Powell and Mont
gomery decided at midnight to pull out of
the race. This they did later and the news
OF their withdrawal from the contest was
made public by o'clock this morning. This
of course stampeded the forces of the op-
position, and later in the day the Critz
men and the Vardaman men held meetings
and decided to withdraw both men.
The convention met at noon in the
chapel of the deaf and dumb institute. The
convention was called to order by Chair
man Miller of the state democratic execu-
tive committee. On motion of j. G. Hardy,
of Newton county, the name of ]. e. Nc
Cool WAS placed in nomination for tenn
perary chairman of the convention. The
nomination of Mr.. McCool was seconded by
A. A, Armstead, of Alfalfa, and McCool
was nominated without opposition. l.. P.
Smith, of Washington, was made tempor-
ary secretary. The temporary organiza-
ton was then made permanent and busi-
ness proceeded.
Three Candidates Withdrew
After the appointment of the usual com
mittees and the reports of the same at
O'Clock, Mr. Longino was placed in nomina-
tion for governor. The names of Critz,
Vardaman and Powell were respectively
Withdrawn and Longino was the nominated
by reclamation
After the nomination an adjournment
was had for dinner.
When the convention met again at 8
o'clock this evening there was stormy
time for few minutes over the adoption
of the report of the platform committee.

CAFFEE THINKS JOHNSTON
WILL BE CANDIDATE

Judge Caffee denies being the mariner
who officially launched the Johnston sena-
torial boom, but at the same time ex-
presses the conviction that the governor
will be a candidate.
Judge Caffee's announcement of Cover
nor Johnstons candidacy for the senate
appeared in the Evening News of Tues
day. He was quoted as saying:
81 can't understand said Judge Caf-
fee to the News reporter, "the position
of this county in taking up Morgan and
Waller. don't think there is any
doubt of Governor Johnston's being
candidate for the United States senate,
and he is a jefferson man. Then there
is Dr. Cunningham. ! know he would
like to be governor, for while l was in
the state senate with him i understood
that then. He is also a Jefferse@ man."
This statement was commented upon by
a politician in the hotel lobby column of
The Age-Herald.
In the News of yesterday afternoon Judge
Caffee is credited with saying that he did
not intend to make any formal announce
ment of Governor Johnstons candidacy for
the senate.
To an Age-Herald reporter yesterday af-
ternoon Judge Caffee expressed the opinion
that Gov. Johnston would be candidate
for the senate. He was found at the state
fair headquarters. With his coat off and
seated In a comfortable rocker he seemed
in a mood to discuss the issues of the
campaign between times when he was
mopping the perspiration from his brow.
Mark my prediction, young man."
said he "the next contest for the senate .
will be between Johnston and Bank
head"
he emphasized them by bringing his hand
down upon the reporters leg:
Asked as to his reasons for this seem
ingly absurd political prognostication
ne said that Bankhead, Knox and 9TH
ers had gotten Senator Morgan down
here to fight the governor because they
knew he would kill himself in three
days after he began. The senator had
made an enemy of all of Johnston's
friends, many of whom were formerly /"
his supporters. Bankheads scheme,
as outlined by the Judge, was to inherit
Morgan's strength and make the race
for the senate.
.
Judge Caffee was also inclined TO discuss
national issues. He egreed that Bryan
would undoubtedly be the nominee OF the
party, but epressed q wish that Van
Wyck could have Ueen nominated.

Age-Herald Bureau, Hotel MADISON, Mont
gomery, August S.-(Special )-Governor
Johnston still refuses to say that he is a
candidate for the United States senate,
taking particular care, however, not to say
that he is not a candidate.
I called upon the governor today and
called his attention to the interview with
Judge A. e. Caffee, in which he said: II
do not think there is any doubt of Govern
or Johnston being a candidate for the
United States senate and the statement
in the hotel lobby column of The Age
Herald that the governor had come out of
the woods and was a full-fedged candi-
date.
The governor read the latter article with
seeming great interest, and as ne concluded
he said:
You may say that do not believe that
Judge Caffee said any such things. Fur
ther than that, have nothing to say"
As the governor spoke there was a broad
smile playing across his countenance,
which clearly indicated to me that the
thought was running through his brain
that II am a candidate, but will keep the
boys guessing while am quietly building
up my machine
The governors attention was called to
the fact that the newspapers were con-
stantly talking about his candidacy for
senatorial honors
In reply he said: well, the papers
would have nothing to print if they didn't
talk about me-
He further stated that Judge Caffee had
been talking very freely to The Age
Herald and spoke in a tone as to indicate
that the sturdy Lowndes county democrat
might have cen talking through his hat
But people will be loath to believe that
Judge Pet Caffee ever did such a thing.
as he has a mind of his own and no man
can control him. He speaks his own mind,
and supports whomsoever it pIeases him
TO support.
While the governor evaded my query to-
day, he continues to plan for the senator
ial race. A Monfgomerian who stands as
close to the governor as does any man. re-
marked last night that ''the senatorial
fight was on and the lines are going to
be clearly drawn on that issue in every
county in Alabama" If that does not
mean that the governor is an active can
didate, IT has but little meaning. From
good source 1t is learned that the plans
to carry Montgomery county for Johnston
have been well laid. A legislative ticket
is said to have recently been agreed upon.
and its makeup consists of the names of
Hon. Horace Hood, Gordon Mcdonald, DR.
Mclean and DR.. McCrimmin. This ticket
is probably personally stronger in portions
Of the county than the governor, and In
It's make-up the geography of the county
Is carefully considered In the opinion of
well posted Montgomeriane, Senator Nor
gan may well consider Johnston candi-
date. KERSa.

GEORGIA STORM
One Negro Killed by Lightning and
$4,000 Damage Done to Property

athens, Ga, August 23.-The worst storm
ever known here passed over this city last
night. Mary Echols, a negro, was killed
by lightning and $4,000 damage was done
to property On lower Broad street tho
water was nearly two feet deep and the
Easements of many business houses were
flooded.
Accompanying the rain was large
amount of hail. This fell with great force,
smashing window panes and skylights at
a number of places.
At the planning mills of the Moss Manu-
featuring company on River street, the
rain washed out large hole under one
end of the building, causing the founda-
tions to sink and twisting the shafting
badly and damaging the machinery
Adjoining this mill is the Baiiy fouadry.
A portion of the foundations of the build
ing sunk and twisted the shafting. The
foundry was two feet deep In water this
morning These firms, as well as several
others. have shut down for repairs.

CUBAN SOLDIERS
RAISE A ROW
Engaged in Fight With G0ndarm0S at
CueVitaS.
HAD WAITED FOR THEIR PAY

FIVE ARE DEAD AND TEN WOUNDED

Santiago, Cuba, August 2.-Five men are
dead and ten wounded as the results of a
fight last night between gendarmes and
disappointed Cuban soldiers at Cuevitas,
three miles from Santiago where the pay
ment of the Cuban troops is progressing.
Five. thousand Cubans had gathered there
to receive pay and, after three days wait
ing, only $50 had been paid. Thousands
who had been disappointed at other points
had come to Cuveitas as the last place of
payment in the province.
List Ii Imperfect
The imperfect list causes great dissatis-
faction, and rumor circulated yesterday
that the paymasters would leave today
alarmed the men who had not been paid.
They began to collect in groups and to
show their annoyance. Finally their
threats became serious.
Captain Baliat, with twenty gendarmes,
was present to preserve order among the
applicants, and the United States troops
protected Colonel Moale, the officer having
charge of the payment. Suddenly Captain
Baliat, who was mounted, was surrounded
by mob, struck by stones and bottles and
shot in the arm. His men promptly fired
a volley into the mob, three persons being
instantly killed and thirteen wounded, two
of whom died this morning
Colonel Moale's guard promptly sur
rounded the money office, but took no part
in the fighting. For a few minutes there
was lively conflict, carbines and ma
chetes being used freely
+ Cubans Again Congregating
Rumor has it that the Cubans are again
congregating for an attack, but these are
probably unfounded. General Castillo, civil
governor of Santiago, was at Cuevitas at
the time and soon restored order.
There is no doubt that the inaccurate list
will cause a great deal of hardship. Many
veterans have vainly followed the United
States commissioners for six weeks, only
to find that their names are not listed.
General Leonard Wood, military governor,
does not, however, anticipate serious
trouble.

Regiments Rearrunged

Washington, August 23.-The war de-
partment today published an order which
re-arranges slightly the composition Of
regiments of artillery increasing the num-
Der of men in the light batteries and de-
creasing the number of men in the heavy
batteries. Each regiment will hereafter
consist of IL batteries of heavy artillery
of 113 men each and two batteries of field
artillery of 162 men each. The change is
made because experience has shown that
the light batteries had not sufficient men
to handle the pieces.
