HARMONY WAS
THEIR WATCHCRY.
Fusionists of Micigan Are in
Session at Grand Rapids
To-day.
Grand Rapids, iMlch., June 22 —The
sire for harmony was the distinguishing
sentiment among the delegates when the
state Democratic and Populist conventions
opened today.
Apparently the Populist leaders had
concluded that they wanted no fight over
the division of state offices.
They expressed themselves as willing to
concede "anything reasonable,” but de
clared that they oppose the changing of
the name of the Democratic-people’s-
Union-Silver. to 'Plain Democrat as pro
posed by some of the latter party.
The silver Republicans appeared to be
agreeable to go with the majority of the
parties to a triple alliance and all con
ceded the nomination of ex-Congressman
■Justin B. Whiting, of St. Claire, for gov
ernor and the selection of Daniel Camp,
of Detroit, as chairman of the Democratic
state central committee.
The Democratic convention was called
to order by Fred A. Baker, of Detroit, who
announced Thomas F. McGarry. of Grand
Rapids, as temporary chairman.
Sectionalism said the chairmann. “has
been obliterated.” The bravery of the
green mountain boy at Manila was excell
ed only by the heroism of an 'Alabama boy
at Santiago and our Alger issues cjflers
obeyed by thousands who once wore the
, gray.
j Dr. Nicholas, of Greenville, was made
, temporary chairman of the Populist con*
vention and Stanley Park Hill, of Oswego,
of the silver Republican gathering. Both
the latter conventions took a recess after
appointing conference committees.

Silver Republican parties will meet in this
city today. The total number of delegates
allotted to all parties is 2,649. almost
equally divided. It is probably that 1,800
will attend.
It is regarded as certain that the fusion
arranged between Pops and Democratic
leaders prevail 11. L. Loucks, the father
of the Populist party in this state Is still
fighting fusion, but admits his defeat. It
is understood he will bolt the convention.
In the fusion arrangements the Populist
will probably get the governor, both con
gressmen. lieutenant governor and secre
tary of state.
The Democrats are to have the treas
urer, attorney general and auditor; free
silver Republicans the commissioner of
schools and public land, and for the minor
offices arrangements have not yet been

MARBLEHEAD
DID GOOD WORK
In Landing Supplies and Am
munition and Driving Off
Spaniards
IT WMO LANDING,
Thought at First that Place Was
Controlled by the Insurgents,
But Found that Not True.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.
Off Santiago de Cuba, June 1.1 —The
United States cruiser .Marblehead, under
command of Lieutenant Commander Mc-
Call, has done some remarkable work in
the landing of ammunition and the driv
ing out of the Spaniards.
Believing that Guantanamo was a good
place for a base for the .American army if
it came, and that the sheltered .bay would
prove a good smooth spot for the smaller
vessels to be coaled in, Schley, acting upder
Admiral Sampson’s orders, sent the Mar
blehead down to look over the ground. It
had been asserted that the place was in
control of the insurgents, but Commander
McCalla found that this was not true, for
no sooner did the cruiser point her nose
into the harbor than two 4-inch shells flew
over her. Discovering the gun boat that
had fired the projectiles the Marblehead
made a target of it and in a short time
the Spaniards steamed away into a shal
low inlet where the cruiser could not fol
low.
Commander McCalla then took a sound,
came back to the squadron and reported
it as a suitable place for landing troops.
Then, taking a collier with him, he went
back to the bay and under the very nose
of teh enemy, deliberately tied up to the
collier and for several hours coaled his
ship.
The Vixen and Gloucester, two convert
ed. yachts in the meantime carried on ac
tive work with the insurgents at Azarado.
The value of making this place a point
<?f operation may be better appreciated
when it is known that it is half wa- be
tween Jucaro and Manzanillo, two en
campment places of the Spanish and San
tiago de Cuba, behind Jucaro and Man
zanillo, and running down close to the
shore of Santiago and high and almost
impassable mountains, so that operat'ons
between the three places must be conduct
ed along the shore line of the Carribean
sea. A railroad line was constructed,
running from Jucaro and Santiago.
Bayamo, a town in the interior was se
lected as a place for interior movements
and to menace the insurgents and the
work of connecting it with IMazanillo so
as to hafe a triangle with troops at every
angle wgs begun. The operations of Ad
miral Sampson have broken one and the
most important side of the triagle by put
ting the insurgents in possession of Ara
radero and the triangle has been broken
by the landing of United States marines
at Guantanamo.
In addition to this it is learned that the
insurgents have torn up the road and des
troyed communication between Bayamo
and Santiago de Cuba so that it is evident
the three stations of Spanish troops are
thoroughly isolated one from another. The*
arrivals of newspapers and mail on June
10 was hailed with joy but much amuse
ment was caused by the various accounts
of the bombardment by Commodore
Schley.
The orders issued on Maj- 31 was not to
fire on the batteries, but only at the ships
seen in the harbor. No damage of any sort
was done to the batteries on shore.
The Spanish warship Reina Marcedes
was hit as was also the Christobal Colon
but not seriously.
The object of the expedition was to find
out what the defenses on shore amounted
to and that object was attained .

CARLOS REFUSED
SPAimHRDNE
Tender Was Made to Him by
Strong Political Or
ganization.
WWIEUEBrnWI
Representative of the Pretenders in
This Country Gives His Views
Freely on the War,
New York, June 22.—iR. D. La Cortina,
who is the accredited agent in the United
States of Don Carlos, pretender to the
throne of .Spain, has returned to this coun
try from Europe, arriving here on the
steamer Southwark. Although of Spanish
birth, .Senor Cortina is a naturalized
American citizen.
Senor Cortina told a representative of
the Herald that the object of his visit to
Europe was to meet Don Carlos in Brus
sels. In this respect he said his journey
was successful. 'He declared that the crown
of Spain six weeks ago was offered to Don
Carlos and was refused. Don Carlos pre
ferring not to take upon himself the re
sponsibility or directing Spain’s affairs in
the present crisis.
Senor Cortina was asked for particulars,
• but he refused to reveal the source of ten
der. He said he had absolute orders from
his chief to preserve secrecy. All he would
say was that the tender was made by one
of the largest and most influential politi
cal “organizations in Spain. It was made,
he said in the presence of Senor Cortina
and Don Carlos’ private secretary and was
accompanied with the assurance of strong
military support.
“Don Carlos refused to take the throne
sensible man would have doneaharh—i qn
at present,” Senor Cortina said, “as any
sensible man would have done. The peo
ple in control now have committed a colos
sal blunder in engagging in this war and
he will not be involved in it. The)' must
settle it themselves, and when Spain is
beaten and humiliated, iDon Carlos will
step in and lead the work If reconstruc
tion.”
The management of the war has been
pitiful. The Cadiz fleet goes out, comes in
again and once more starts. No one knows
where it is going, and I do not believe the
naval authorities know themselves.
“Weyler is not a Carlist—he is simply a
Weylerist and is not great enough to lead
a party. He belongs to no particular par
ty, and is waiting to see who will take
control of affairs before tendering his par
tisanship. The Carlist party is too great
and too powerful to need the aid of men
with a record like his.
“Sagasta and his party are fit only to
be thrown on the scrap heap. First Sa
igasta was a Republican and then a mon
archist. When Don Carlos returns Sagas
ta will be found seeking favor from the
new king.”
That the next step in the evolution of
the Spanish government will he a republic
is the opinion of Senor Cortina.
“When it is known that Don Carlos will
not return at present,” he said, “the peo
ple will return to Republicanism, for they
must get rid of the present dynasty. But
the republic will not last. The Republi
cans are divided into seven or eight fac
tions and have no great leaders. Castelar,
the leader of one of the factions, has brains
but no force. He is not a natural leader
of men. Magall is a socialist and Spain is
not prepared to swallow socialism. Sal
meron, leader of another Republican fac
tion is too small a man to unite the war
ring factions.
“The Republicans will go to pieces and
then will be Don Carlos’ opportunity.
Spain will welcome a strong prince such as
he is, and he will make a good king. He
is one of the first statesmen and diplomats
in Europe, and will be able to restore poor
Spain, ruined by misrule, to her proper
place among the nations.”
'Speaking of the war. Senor Cortina said:
“There can be no doubt of its results,
and but one opinion is expressed as to the
result in Europe. Spain cannot fight with
the United States, and must be beaten.
The sooner the conflict ends the more
, pleased I would be.”
Senor Cortina left New York on May 9
and spent the time since then with his
chief in Brussels. His opinions are sup
. posed to reflect those of his chief.

Chickamauga, June 22. —Weather clear,

It is ideal weather for drilling. More
guns arrived this morning, more recruits
came in and everything is progressing sat
isfactorily, with the exception of the pay
ment of the New York troops, which is at
standstill.
The indications are that many weeks
will elapse before the pay rolls are in
shape. A number of Chattanoogans have
made arrangements to distribute maga
zines, newspapers and periodicals among
the troops. There is a deficiency of read
ing matter in the camp, especially in the
hospitals.
The rations which the soldiers are now
receiving are entirely satisfactory.
Major Lorrigan, commanding the First
battalion of the Ninth New York, has re
signed on account of business interests at
New York.
Colonel Greene will recommend the ap
pointment of a successor after Lorrigan’s
resignation has been accepted by the war
department.
In the First division of the First corps
men are now being drilled four hours each
day, two hours at a time.
General Wilson is of the opinion that
long drills are of more benefit.
Private Alfred J. Lewis, of rhe First
Virginia, has fallen heir to a snug fortune
by the death of his mother, consisting of
a fine plantation in Louisiana and $60,000.
Lewis wandered away trom home, and

NEW EVIDENCE
IN MURDER CASE
Which Will Come Up in the
Superior Court this
Afternoon.
SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS
May be Looked for and the Defense
Probably Has Something Inter
esting Up Its Sleeye.
The Yon murder case was not called in
the superior court this morning but went
over until this afternoon at 3 o’clock.
The opening of this ease has aroused a
considerable amount of interest and has
; revived the sensation that attached to what
was at the time the most sensational mur
i der that had been committed in iMacon for
many years. In fact it has hardly had an
equal in the annals of crime in this coun
ty.
A tremendous tight will "be made by Mr.
John R. Cooper to save Joiner, who is
t charged with the murder. The prosecution
seems well supplied with strong evidence
against Joiner.
It is now said the Brown man who sur
prised the murderer when he was in the
middle of this fiends work and who re
ported the matter to the police will swear
that he recognized Joiner as the man who
was on the prostrate man and who, when
surprised, ran Brown from the place with
the dripping knife in his hand.
Shortly after, and in fact on the night of
the murder. Brown said that he did not
recognize the murderer and that he was
even uncertain whether it was a white
man or a negro.
He will now say that he knew Joiner at
the time. If this is his evidence an effort
will be made to impeach his testimony and
if this is successfully done, it will very
likely strengthen the case for the defense.
Outside of this direct testimony all the
evidence against Joiner is circumstantial
and the defense will take advantage of
this.
The mysterious movement of Joiner on
the night of the murder and other of the
circumstances look extremely black
against him.
It is said now, however, that there will
be other sensational evidence brought out
and that the developments of the case will
be more startling than even at the time of
the murder.
Undoubtedly the defense has something
of interest up its sleeve and Mr. Cooper
, seems very confident of the ultimate ac
quittal of his client.
A large number of witnesses have been
summoned in the case. .Among them are
the father and sisters of Joiner. The pain
ful part of the tr.al will be the fact that
these sisters and the father will be obliged
to be among the chief witnesses used by
the prosecution against the young man.
His wife too is among the witnesses.
She was in very feeble health at the time
of the murder and since that time she has
been seriously ill. She has a young child
and the two have been largely cared for
by the charity organizations of the city.
Joiner has stood his imprisonment so far
well and has not shown any eviden-e of
fear as to the outcome 4 the case. It is
thought that his statement on the stand
supported by fresh evidence to he brought
in, will throw an entirely new light on the
case.

NO INVESTIGATION
OFBUCKI’S CHARGES
Adjutant General Savs Colo

The following special to the Atlanta
Journal from its Washington correspondent
will be read with no little interest in Ma
con and throughout the state:
The war department pooh-boohs the
idea of an official investigation into the
conduct of Colonel Ray, on account of the
ill humor of Colonel Bucki in not securing
a captaincy.
The adjutant general said this morning
that the department would take no cogni
zance of the matter at all. The depart
ment denies that Colonel (Ray has done
anything either to require an investiga
tion or courtmartial. He was ordered to
enroll his regiment as early as possible
i and that the first companies t<? report
were the first to be accepted. That Col
