COMMISSIONERS AT SEA.
NEGOTTATE FOR PEACE.
Session May Be Short O5cing to
.Seusickness.

Washington. July 19.-Commander Mulligan
OF the Ararblehead has advised the Navy De-
partment that the vessel arrived at San jose
Guatemala, to-day with the peace commissioners
on board and has sailed beyond the three mile
limit to enable the commissioners to conduct
their negotiations.
Naval officers wac are familiar with the west
coast of Central America, where the Msrhlehead
is awaiting the plenipotentiaries of the warning
republics. predict that the negotiations will be
brief They say that the ship will be an
chored about five miles from shore. There Is
heavy swell on the coast at that point and
seasckness on the part of the ENJOYS is appre-
hende6 by the naval officials. There are no
roadsteads, and all communication with the
shore is by means Of launches.
At San jose Guatemala where the peace COM
missioners of that country were taken aboard
the Marblehead. the process was most difficult
An iron pier projects quite distance into the
sea from the shore. A launch came alongside,
ana steel cage containing the enyoys was
swung Off over il, and. by carefully watching
the vessels rise and fall, was safely landed on
its deck. When the ENJOYS are taken from the
vessel they will get inside the cage and it will
be swung from the deck and for a few moments
they will be hanging in midair.
Mr.. Combs. the American Minister to Guate-
mala. has returned TO Guatemala City. and from

SOCORRO LITTLE HURT.
Reports of Earthquake Said to Haze
Been Exaggerated.

Santa Fe n. NJ. July 1e.-Mayor Bursum of
Socorro this afternoon issued the following
signed statements
"The reports regarding the earthquake at
Socorro have been exaggerated. the damage to
date being limited to the falling and topping
over OF loose chimneys and shaking OF some
Of the walls Of buildings not of a substan-
tial character. The courthouse is not injured,
except by the falling of plaster from the ceiling
and the topping over Of old chimneys. The
Winkler Hotel. which is old adobe building
has not been injured in the least.
THE actual damage all around is very slight
although there is some Uneasiness on account Of
the frequency Of the shocks. which are, however
becoming lighter each time, Indicating that the
disturbance is Subsiding. Since yesterday there
have been four slight shocks. which were barely
perceptible and would have gone unnoticed at
other times Persons who have left Socorro on
account Of the earthquake have done so prin-
cipally on account Of their children or female
relatives.
There has been no cloudburst or flood, as re-
ported in dispatches, and not the slightest injury
to any person"
Mayor Bursum also denied that the Santa F'e
Railroad tracks are blOckaded by falling bowl
ders All trains through sOcOrro arrived on time
to-day.
Most of the people Of socorro are stin camp
ing in the open. The action OF Mayor Bursilrn
who at his own expense is doubling the capacity
of the clty's water supply to meet any fire
emergency, Is restoring confidence. as he keeps
the men at work even during the frequent
earthquake shocks.
Many of the refugees at Santa Fe and Albu-
querque have signifed their intention OF return
ing to Socorro next week, il there are no more
violent manifestations by that time. A careful
search Of the lava fields TO the southeast Of the
city has failed to reveal any new hot springs or
evidences OF volcanic action. reported Yesterday
The entire property damage at Socorro will
not exceed 5000, as only the Ola adobe houses
have suffered. In surrounding towns the prop
erty damage is also slight owing to the cheap
character Of the buildings affected and the an
sence OF costly structures.
The natives who were praying In the streets
have become Quieted.
The shocks undoubtedly are caused by slides
of mountain masses in the Magdalena and So
corro ranges caused by recent heavy rains.

Harmony is the only object Of the movement

held by him at his summer home. in Highland
Mills, according TO a statement issued by him
yesterday He declares that there was not sug-
gestion of harm to any at the meeting. and
there was discussion OF the details OF party
management. IN spite Of this a report started
yesterday that Governor Higgins was closely

In addition TO the formal statement Senator Platt
said that there had not been any consideration OF

further conferences at a time not yet fixed. He
said that Governor Higgins had not been invited
70 any OF the harmony conferences because he was
sure the Governor would not come.
Regarding candidates, eX-Lieutenant Governor
Woodruff said
1T is ridiculous to think that a man 20 whom
the leadership Of an organization such ours in
Brooklyn has been intrusted will this early day
commit that organization TO any candidate fac
ton
He added that he intended to devote considerable
attention from now on to the situation in Brook
iyn, and that Michael J. Dady would figure less
prominently than he has done during Mr. Wood
Iuff's absence. Mr. Dady. he said. could hold his
seat in the executive committee far he per-
EOnollY concerned. but would have conline
