tain Fred Sharp of the Merritt-Ckap-
man Wrecking company. Dr. Congosto
declined to talk. He will sail for Havre
on the French line steamer Oct. 1. Cap-
tain Sharp was greatly pleased to learn
had that the Spanish cruiser Maria Teresa
been floated. He thinks the collier
Merrimac, sunk in Santiago harbor, can

Later Dr Congosto said- Vnha
“The evacuation of hv Knnin is
a matter of time, but when I left Ha-
vana everything was progressing well,
I do not care to enter x_- to all the rea-
sons for the delay, but one of the prin-
j cipal causes is the fact that we have
over 6,000 sick who must be taken care
of and who cannot be left behind.
“The problem of the future of the
island is a difficult one, and I have
studied it without prejudice and as a
result of this study of years, I believe it
is a social problem and not a political
one. Of course, politics will enter into
the solution, but the great question is
| how to bring the most prosperity and
the greatest happiness to the people of
Cuba. It is probable there will be a
emigration may Sdrt assist in in 1 ^ouing thl tne
problem. Of course, a difficulty will be
met in view of the dangers of fever aud
the climate.”
Dr. Congosto was asked as to the con-
^'“Th^re'are^o answered\vitk“ 0 reconcentrados now ”
he
“What has become of them?” was the
next question.
“They’re gone.”
“Where?’’
“God knows,” was the reply.
“Do you mean to say they are all
dead?”
“That probably explains it better
than! can. It is a subject which I pre-
fer not to discuss.”
When asked as to the establishment
of a new navy for Spain Dr. Cognosto
said:
“Spain is .still a great country, and
she ought to have a great navy and
probably P will.”
Discussing the x fall of Santiago and
the surrender of General Toral, Dr.
Congosto said:
“' bb «re were brave» soldiersi at Sa*.
tiago and it their leader lacked courage
he deserves to be punished. Santiago
should not have fallen as it did, and if
Toral had not entered into negotiations
with the enemy it is likely that there
would have been a different story to tell
today. It is not true that the Spanish
army there lacked supplies and am mu-
nition, for they had plenty of both,
which they turned over to the Ameri-
oana Tf Toral had pushed forward in-
stead of retreating towards the citv ha
cer tainly would have caused a repulse
These are things which he will have to
explain.”

Richard Croker, David B. Htll and
Senator Murphy Hold a Number of !
Conferences, but Reach No Decision
as to State Candidates.
Syracuse, Sept. 28.—The Democratic
state convention met here at noon to-
day, absolutely without a slate or pro-
gram other than the temporary organ¬
ization agreed upon in the state com¬
mittee last night. It is in many re¬
spects the most remarkable .political
convention ever held. Never before
have all the prominent leaders of the
Democratic party appeared in conven¬
tion and consulted as to program with¬
out result.
Richard Croker, David B. Hill, Sena¬
tor Murphy and Senator McCarren, rep¬
resenting Hugh McLaughlin, have had
has frequent conferences, but no agreement
been reached as to candidates.
These conferences have been conducted
upon apparently friendly lines and un¬
der the leadership of Senator Murphy
there is an evident disposition for har¬
mony, but upon what lines it is difficult
to determine. Absolutely nothing is
known of the different propositions dis¬
cussed, but there are rumors of all
kinds.
Because of the delay in reaching any
agreement it is generally believed that
there is trouble of some sort, and many
think that a light will develop in the
convention. The leaders, however, con¬
fidently assert that all differences will
be settled during the day and a com¬
plete understanding reached before to¬
morrow morning, when the actual work
of the convention will begin.
The crowd gathered here is undoubt¬
edly the largest ever seen at a state con¬
vention. The great convention hall is
thronged. Tammany has 2,000 men
present. The silver adherents well
sented are repre¬
here. They have had numerous
conferences, the results of which have
been conveyed to the party leaders.
Their demands have not as yet been
formally presented, but it is understood
that they will demand some place upon
the ticket for ono of their representa¬
tives, probably Wilbur F. Porter, the
party’s candidate for governor two years
ago.
Elliott Danforth called the convention
to order today at 12:30 and George M.
Palmer was made chairman.
Delegate Pierce of Monroe tried to in¬
troduce a resolution indorsing the Chi¬
cago platform relative to silver, but it
was not allowed to be read. He at¬
tempted to speak but was ruled out and
the resolution referred. At 1:34 a re¬
cess was taken until 11 o’clock tomorrow.

Chickamauga, Ga., Sept. 28.—Leiter
hospital, the largest general hospital at
Camp Thomas during the summer, will

been on duty at Leiter for several
months have been relieved and havi
gone to Washington. Duly four now
remain. The majority of the nurses in
the hospital will leave during the new
few days for camps recently t
where their services are in greater de¬
mand.

MOTES ADMITS HIS GUILT.
One of the Five Men on Trial at Bir¬

Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 28.—A start¬

States conrt here at the trial of Chess
Motes and five other citizens of Talla¬
dega county, charged with the murder
of W. A. Thompson, a uw-i»>r
ness, which has been going uu icr
longer than a week now.
Robert Tavior, one of the defendants,
created the first sensation by making ..
confession before the United Stau
commissioner. He also created un it'.
by escaping from the courtroom durin
the trial and is still at liberty. No-
Chess Motes creates a sensation
making a confession, also saying lie a>-
Taylor did the killing and the t .
men are not guilty.
Motes produced money in the <
which was taken from Thompson •
he had been murdered. The cor- e."
was a big surprise, as the (1c i-.ii
Motes’ father-in law. This will li
clear the other three men and mi
penitentiary lor, for life for Motes and - y-
if the latter is caught.

Atlanta, Sept. 28. —The Hon. John
11. Slaton, who has been renominated
for the legislature from Fulton comity,
and who will be re-elected on Ocr. ,J 9
will introduce very early in the m-xt

Mr. Slaton is confident that the bill

expression irom the iieopie in the Jim
primary, when they practically miam-
nioasly called for the change, makes it
improbable that there will be any oppo¬
sition to the measures.

cotton, while badly injured in most

The corn crop will be very poor and
short. A large amount of fine bay j, .

but, owing to high waters.it is impo-
ble to drain off the fields, and much of
