TAYLOR APPEARS TO
RE A SURE WINNER
Kentucky Republicans to Put
Out State Ticket.
FIRST PLACE IS SETTLED
Stone and Pratt Are Still Working,
but Virtuully Admit Defeut,
Only the Lower Offices Will lie Con.
tested For.
Lf.xino.tox, Ky.. July 11. —The can
didates are ull here for the Republican
state convention tomorrow. Ther opened
their respective headquarters Today to
meet the early arrivals of delegates,
far as the governorship is concerned
there is no contest, as Attorney Gen
oral W. S. Taylor has more votes
pledged than are necessary to nominate.
Colonel Stone and Judge Pratt are still
working, but confess that they are in
the minority. They are now workin
with a view to defeating Taylor, rather
than with any expectation for victory
themselves.
The Stone aud Pratt men are not pull
ing together harmoniously even in op
position to Taylor, as they accuse each
other of weakness in many counties. If
buy formidable opposition to Taylor is
organized it is likely to be in the inter
est of a dark horse. The opponents of
Taylor say that he is in the same class
ps William Goebel, the Democratic nom
inee for governor; that his methods
have been such thut the Democrats who
dislike Goebel will not support Taylor,
while they would support some Repub
lican who has not been identified with
any clique. It is also charged that there
are 65,000 negro voters who will not
support Taylor.
Every possible objection is being
raised today against Taylor, but these
attacks do not seem to aifect the dele
gates. Most of the delegates will arrive
tomorrow, but such as are here today
flock to the headquarters of Taylor,
while Colonel Stone and Judge Pratt
are not disturbed much by callers. For
the most part they are flocking all by
themselves.
Senator Deboe is openly championing
the cause of Taylor. He is not only the
central figure at Taylor’s headquarters,
but also iu his counsels. They dine to
gether, walk about together and _the
delegates say they sleep together.
Neither Deboe or Taylor seems to be
disturbed in the least about the attacks
of their opponents, who say that Taylor
has not only used his state patronage,
bur also had ail patronage under Sena
tor Deboe in his interest. It is charged
that all the places in the federal census,
as well as the prospective patronage un
der Taylor, has been parceled out.
The opponents of Taylor called on
him aud Senator Deboe late last night,
again begging them to name some other
man for governor, but they will not en
tertain snch a proposition fora moment.
They insist that none of the charges are
well grounded, that the disaffection will
blow over after the convention, that
they have made the race in good faith
and do not intern! to be scared out of
the results of their successful canvass.

MEN SLEEP ABOVE WATER.
Heavy Rains Around Manila Cause
Discomfort to Soldiers.
Manila, July 10.—It has been rain
ing and storming almost constantly for
two days and the conniry along tho
American south and bay lines is liter
ally flooded. The soldiers are suffering
great discomfort.
The Thirteenth infantry at Paray is
in the worst position, being practically
surrounded by water. The bridges that
were used for getting supplies have been
washed away, and some of the compa
nies are uow separated by streams 6
feet deep. In many cases the men are
sleeping with 3 feet of water beneath
their banks, which are elevated on
cracker boxes. The company cooks,
when preparing meals, staud knee deep
in water.
Some of the roads leading to Paray
are simply impassible, and the rice
fields on ail sides are one great lake. A
high wind blew over several tents of
the Second reserve hospital.
Manila bay is impossible of naviga
tion by either launches or canoes and
no vessels are leaving the harbor.
The United States transport Centen
nial is ready to sail for Sun Francisco
with discharged soldiers, bat the latter
have to sit around the water front all
day, drenched to the skin, waiting for
a launch to take them to the steamer.
The River Pasig and all the other
streams are swollen, and the city streets
at low poiuts are covered with water.

Enlistments lielng Made For Twenty-

Atlanta, July 11.—Recruiting for
the Twenty-ninth regiment of infantry
commenced this morning at Fort Mc
Pherson in compliance with telegraphic

of Ship Brokers to Buy Cup*
tured fcraft Refused.
Washington, July 12.—An offer from
a prominent firm of ship brokers doing
a large foreign business to purchase the
Reiua Mercedes aud any and all of the
other war craft captured during the late
war has aroused a suspicion that Spain
is trying in this in direct manner to ob
tain possession of the vessels and thus
remove the offense to Spanish pride
caused by the floating of the American
flag over her ships.
The offer mentioned uo figures, but
simply reqnested that the navv depart
ment name its price for the Mercedes
aud the remainder of the captured
Spanish ships. The navy department
will not sell any of these vessels and
that answer will be returned to the
writer of the letter.
Secretary Long has decided that it
would not pay to attempt to renovate
the Mercedes and use her as a warship.
The cost would be not less than $500,000
and the ship would, when repaired, be
of old type and not up to the require
ments of a modern naval ship.
Therefore the repairs to Ikj made upon
her will l>e confined to u little painting
and cleaning and patching aud the Mer
cedes will be left as a show ship, like
the old Constitution, to gratify the pa
triotism of the American people.

General Rosser, who has just reached
Washington from Cuba, called at the
White House today. General Rosser
has been mustere-i out and is on his
way home to Virginia. When asked
about Cuban affairs, he said:
“Many things are moving along
smoothly, but there is almost universal
comnlnmt about the enforcement of the
tariff ruies and laws at Havana, The
trouble, of course, is that military men
nave not beenjtrained iu these matters ”
.When asked about the sentiment for
annexation, General Rifcser said:
“No man on the tgiaud with a dollar’s
worth of property ever wants to see the
United States flag pulled down. They
know it would, mean anarchy, chaoj and
oppression."

Union Coroner Bel urns a Verdict of
sluntilirtbfe Homicide.
Union, S. O., July 10.—At the jail
door here Sheriff J. G. Long, who hat
held that office for many yeart, fired
both barrels of a shotgun at J. G. Gall-
man, his deputy sheriff and lifelong
friend. One load of bncksbot entered
the side aud the other took effect in the
throat, both tearing big holes and pro
ducing instant death.
There had never been auy quarrel be
tween the men—they had been friends
long before Gallmau had become deputy
—but it seems that the deputy had been
drinking, and when Sheriff Long asked
him what he was going to do, answered
that it was none of his business. Long
made some sharp response, and Galb
man drew his pistol.
The sheriff, who was stauding in hit
door, stepped back and got a shotgun
from the corner. Coming to 1 the door
agaiu. with the weapon ready, he fired
both barrels iu quick succession at close
range. %
A coroner’s jury returned a verdict of
jubtiliable homicide.
