POLITICAL SITUATION RESULTS 07 THE POPULIST CON VENTION SUMMED UP BY A SILVER REPUBLICAN Judge J. N. Phillips Tells the Inside Story of the Attempt to Down Maguire Judge J. Noonan Phillips did not lose any flesh while at the Sacramento convention, where he went as a Silver Republican In the Interests of the movement to bring about fusion between the Democrats and'the Pop ulists. On the contrary he seems to have thrived on the contest with the "allied trusts" and' tha Republicans who sought to prevent such a consummation of the com bination ticket, and was more than satis fled with the outcome whemhe was seen last evening at his home. The Judge Is strongly of the opinion that Governor Budd was foremost in the fight against the nomination of Maguire and that the fusion committee which he had selected at the meeting of the Democratic state cen tral committee on Monday was made up for that purpose but that the majority of the members fooled him. Judge Phillips figures that the combined vote of the three parties, Populist, Democratic and Silver Repub lican, should give a majority of sixty thou sand votes, but after allowing for (11 pos sible losses and changes he cannot see howi Maguire can fall of being elected by fifteen thousand majority. According to his views the Democrats must nominate him or com mit political sulcedei for this campaign. "Th* fact Is," he said, "when we arrived st Sacramento we found the whole 'push' there and apparently well fortified and ready for work. This was on Monday. State Chairman Baker came to see me be fore I was rup and when I came down we took breakfast together and I at once came to the conclusion from what he let drop, that there was a scheme somewhere, that boded no good, for It was plain that the Idea was to prevent Magulre's nomination at all hazards. "I do not mean to say that Mr. Baker said all this, but perhaps he might just as well have done so for I learned it through the course of the talk, or at least was satisfied. I soon made up my mind from what he said that the plan was to put up some man who could be handled—be pulled down if thought best, and used to suit the 'push.' Very soon he suggested Shanahan, and then it was plain to me that the plot was to nominate Shanahan and pull him down In the Interest of Governor Budd. This seemed very clear to me In view of the governor's utterances at the Democratic committee meeting, when he enlargedl on, his own excellence as a politician and the sapability he had for managing such things as a campaign and the work before it opened. "After Baker had talked considerably I took upon me to ask him why Maguire would not be a candidate. Oh, no! Maguire would not do at all. Would not the Demo crats endorse him? Not a bit of It. Never. Maguire was the weakest man we could name. He would never do. And a lot of talk like that. "Well, you are familiar with the details of the work. When we found how things stood we Eot the machine working, and wo Boon learned that Baker, Cator and Shan ahan were all at work on the same proposi tion. That settled It. Cator's name was enough for us, and we set to work to beat the plot. But I must admit they did some thorough work, and on Tuesday It did ap pear as If they had accomplished a great amount and might be able to stampede the coaventlon for their man. But we were not Idle and managed toj snow, their scheme up so completely that they did not have a leg to stand on. "I want to say right here that Dr. Hill, the chairman of the county Democratic com mittee, and Earl Rogers ot the same party, did splendid work for us and (or fusion. They managed to get a large amount ot In formation that wo would not otherwise lays bad and the]; stood firm an-through the] contest. W* all want ap there with the one object of bringing about fusion by sll honorable mean* and thst ws* th* only thing w* had to consider so that there were no personal ambition* to affect our end st the matter. When the fusion committee cam* to us and asked what the Silver Re publicans had) to ask, we told them we asked nothing, we were not there for of fices, but If they thought w* were entitled to representation on the ticket all right. They very fairly then gave us the naming of th* clerk of the supreme court and a su preme judge; for th* latter place as you know we nominated Judge Van Dyke of this city. "As a test of th* fusion sentiment, the antt* put forward Webster of San Luis Obispo for the chairmanship of the con vention, and he did not get a single votf from any of hi* own delegation. The elec tion of Councilman Hutchison you know all about. He made a remarkably fine chair man, so much so that I was surprised, for I had never seen him in such a position, and it would not have been very remarkable If he had made some mistakes, but he did not, and he filled the place with such dignity and acumen that there was no fault found with him, even from the opposition, and there was not an appeal taken from any of his decisions. "No, I have no doubt In my mind about Governor Budd's being in the conspiracy to down Maguire. He had the fusion com mittee he sent from San Francisco picked tor this purpose, but most of th* member*, when they saw the situation, went back on instructions and forsook him. John W. Mitchell was the only one, about, who stuck out, but, a* we did not recognise him at all as a member of the committee, he could do little harm. "I have only been In the city since 2 ocloek this afternoon, but In that time I have received such statements from Dem ocrats, Populists and Silver Republicans as to show me beyond any doubt that there lv great satisfaction with the result of the convention's work. "Tbe split? That will cut no figure at all. The men who engineered that are not the A REMINISCENCE OF THE CONVENTION Hutchison Has a Little Private Talk With Cntor " » . «i , ' —San Francisco Examiner. ones who voted for William Jennings Bry an, but they are the same who bolted vot ing for him, because Tom Watson was turned down. All of thorn who are honest men will vote the fusion ticket when It comes to the show-down, and the others would vote the Republican ticket, anyway. You will see that I am correct when I tell you that they will not cut any ice at all when the Votes come to be counted. "All of the Southern California dele gates stood firm for fusion, except a por tion of those from San Bernardino, who fell down for some Inscrutable cause. "The 'push?' I don't know that it was entirely the railroad, or very much so, even. It was a combination of the Republicans and the state house gang—which means the governor, of course. The great Inter est shown by the Republicans Indicates how much they consider fusion a menace to their chances of success. I think If I say that It was the allied trusts which fought Maguire, it will be plain. By that I mean all of the corporations and the octopus all of the interests which nnd themselves opposed to the broad-gauge principles of Maguire in protecting the interests of the masses. "The outlook I find very favorable. The ticket is approved by the liberal press throughout the male. I cannot see how the Republicans can hope to stem the tide, for the sentiment of support to the ticket Is sweeping all over the state. "There was one remarkable point about this convention, and that was that Shana han was the only man who kept open house, end he apparently was his own chief sueat, for when he got up on the floor he did not make an inviting appearance. There were, perhaps, 400 men there at the sessions, and/ I did not observe one who was at all under the Influence of liquor, with one exception. The very man who placed Shanahan in nomination immediately afterward gave him the cold shoulder and voted with the fusionists. "The Republicans are fighting us bitter ly, but they cannot win. The three parties represent a majority of 00,000 votes tn the state, and, allowing for all contingencies and possible effects of the contest, where every Influence of money and Interest will be brought Into play, there is no way that I can figure out by which they can prevent Maguire from getting st leaat a majority . • * , LOS ANGELES HERALDt SATURDAY MORNING, JULY U, 1898 WITH THE ELEET THE WARSHIPS WXBE BEADY TO SHELL SANTIAGO The Cruisers and Battleships Take Up Their Positions—The Savoy Hist i Brings the Hews OFF AGUADORES, July 14, 1 p.m., via Port Antonio, Jamaica, July U, 4:16 a.m.— Santiago de Cuba was surrendered today. Menaced by American forces on land and sea, disheartened by past defeats, and without hope of victory, General Toral yielded his city to save hi* people. With the final stroke of the Spanish gen eral's pen, the only stronghold in the prov ince of Santiago has fallen, and the power of Spain In Eastern Cuba is crushed. What the terms of the surrender were are not yet known. They may be made public when General Miles returns from the front tonight, and they may be suppressed for days. On board th* flagship It Is believed that th* surrendered Spanish officers will be permitted to retain their sldearms, and that th* Spanish army will be given safe convoy to Spain. Admiral Sampson has not yet been Informed of the detals of capitulation. The end came swiftly and unexpectedly. The Santiago campaign, bright with Its deeds of splendid daring and dark with the record of slaughter, had been believed by many men high in rank to have only Just begun. The refusal ot the Spanish to sur- render had been so emphatic and to recent that both army snd navy had forsaken the Idea of victory without further bloodshed, and noon, today had been set for the final desperate assault upon the stubborn de fenses of tbe city. Tbat Its fortifications were strong, and that Its forces were brave, all knew, and today had been looked for ward to as likely to be the bloodiest In the history of the campaign, and when soon af ter 2 o'clock this afternoon Admiral Samp- son received by signal the news that Gen eral Toral had surrendered the admiral and his officers scarcely credited the story. Whether Morro Castle and the batteries above the harbor will also surrender Is, at 3 o'clock this afternoon, a matter of con jecture. At that hour the Spanish flag still floated above Morro, and the Spanish forces still clustered about the earthworks and batteries. The Harbor Batteries With the American army controlling San tiago, however, further resistance by the harbor batteries would be absurd, and their surrender will undoubtedly be quickly fol lowed by General Shatter's occupation of the town, if indeed, the sea front fortifica tions and all others are not Included tn the city's capitulation. When General Toral on Monday last re fused absolutely to consider the terms ot unconditional surrender, and when General Shafter announced negotiations at an end, It was believed that the taking of the city without further fighting was an impossibil ity. The artillery of the Federal forces was ordered to be rushed to the thoi In vesting line was extended to hem In the town completely, and every preparation was made for the final assault. Acting under Instructions from Washing ton, however, General Shafter again pro prosed surrender yesterday, and at a con ference at which General Miles and Gen eral Toral were present, it was proposed to allow the Spanish officers to retain their Bide arms and the American commander offered to send tbe defeated army to Spain under convoy and on parole. The story of tbe conference has already been told. General Toral's announcement that the matter would have to be referred to his government convinced the majority of officers at the headquarters tbat noth ing further would come from the negotia tions, and an order was issued to prepare for a general attack at noon today, at which hour the extended armistice expire!. The men at the front made every prepara tion for battle, the fleet gathered around the little bay of Aguadores, ready to hurl shells over th* hill and into tho city, snd th* osiubhred army, and navy forces ojuotly, ... i< ■ — and grimly awaited the word of General Mile*. [ Wanted to Avoid Slaughter j But while sll these preparation* were going forward General Shafter and General Miles were (till hard at work in an attempt to avoid the slaughter which would follow an attack. The telephone and telegraph wire from th* front to Juragua was burdened all the forenoon with message* to and from Washington, and General Toral was busy communicating with either Cap tain-General Blanco or with ths govern ment at Madrid. At about 11 o'oloek. General Miles sent an aide de camp from Juragua to Rear-Ad mtral Sampson, telling him the chanoes for a surrender were good and that no shots would bs fired from the fleet without defi nite orders from the shore. As the hour of noon approached the New York ran close in shore at Aguadores and took up a position In readiness for the bombardment of tho hid den city. The Brooklyn ranged In the rear of the New York and the other ves sels took up positions previously assigned to them. The swift little Hist steamed down to Juragua to await word from Gen eral Miles. Noon cams and although the expected call to quarters was not Issued, the men lingered anxiously close to their places eager to begin the bombardment. From the bridges of the warships officers trained their glasses alternately on the signal sta tion ashore and on the fleet of transports off Juragua, behing which the Hist had disappeared. Excitement Intense As 1 and 2 o'clock passed without an order to begin bombardment the excitement among the offloers who knew the signifi cance of the delay became Intense. It waa a few minutes after 2 o'clock when the Hist pushed her way from behind the anchored transports and started on the short run from Juragua to Aguadores. Rolling and pitching in the rough sea, the gallant little yacht dashed for the flagship, signaling as she pressed forward. Tbe Oregon was the first vessel In line and the signal "The enemy has surren dered" was first made out from the bridge ot Captain Clark's ship. A cheer burst from the officers on the after deck and it was echoed by the men clustered forward. At almost the same Instant the other ships tn the fleet caught the momentous meaning of the bright colored signal flags which flashed at the Hlst's swaying masthead, and a great cheer from a host of American throats swept through the squadron from ship to ship, while answering pennants flew from each vessel in response to the New York's repetition of the Hlst's signals. Eventually the Hist ran alongside the flagship and delivered her dispatch. It con tained no details, being simply a brief mes sage by wire to Admiral Sampson from Gen eral Shafter saying that the enemy had surrendered. The admiral has not taken an active part in the negotiations, but he has been con sulted by General Miles and General Shaf ter, and undoubtedly he will be considered In the settlement of the final details of the surrender. He declined to discuss the mat ter further than to express joy that the taking ot Santiago was accomplished with out further bloodshed, and saying that the terms ot the capitulation were not to be made public for some time. Within five minutes of the Hist's arrival the signal officers ashore began sending messages with the wigwag flag on the hill top to the right of the ravine In which the ruins of the Aguadores fort lie. This has been selected as a signal station, and from this was telegraphed to Admiral Sampson a confirmation of the surrender. This message was as unsatisfactory as was the Hlst's to the officers of the fleet who were anxious to know the terms of the sur render and other details, while the message simply set forth the bare statement that the surrender of Santiago had occurred. The lowa was ordered to steam west to Morro Castle, evidently being sent to watch the movement of the men manning the shore batteries. Gave Up Just In Time General Toral surrendered In the nick of time, for had the plans of today's battle been carried out the city of Santiago would have been torn to pieces before night. The fleet had the exact range, and although the city was about eight miles away and hidden by the hills, Commodore Schley said that shells could be dropped in the heart of the town every two minutes for as long a time as General Shafter thought It necessary. Aside from the work of the fleet seven bat teries of artillery were In position, and so placed that their three-inch shells could have been hurled into the town from all sides. The Spaniards, however, had made care ful preparations and had even erected bar ricades In the streets ready to fight to the very last. General Shafter and his officers confi dently expected the American loss to be heavy It the attempt had to be made to capture the city by assault, and elaborate hospital arrangements were made in anti cipation of such an occurrence, a large num ber of tents having been erected at Siboney since the buildings there were burned.

TO BUILD ROAD AND WHARVES Santiago to Be Bat in Proper Shape by the Government NEW YORK, July li.—On th* Panama, whloh ha* just salted for Santiago, wa* the expedition for building wharves and short railroad line*, the contract for which 1). Van Aken has undertaken. Materials for building ths wharves, float* and tracks, such as lumber, pile-drivers, bolts, rail*, nail*, etc., were put aboard.

She will, however, sail to morrow, when It will be determined which of the two ports she shall call at. The First and Second regiments of volunteer Infantry are at New Orleans and Galveston respect ively. The Galveston regiment may be sent direct to Ctrba by another transport or transferred to New Orleans by rail.

He had let ters from the President and Secretary of War, asking Colonel Kimball to assist him so far aa possible in his mission. THE CEVELAND DISASTER Ten Bodies Becoverd From the Lake Tunnel CLEVELAND, 0., July 15.—The bodies of the ten remaining victims of the water works tunnel disaster were found by a rescuing party today. The bodies were blown back a few feet from the face of the drive by the explosion and were but slightly burned.

The bodies were brought to the shore end, about six thousand feet from the tunnel head, in a handcar.

A FOOLISH STATEMENT Not an English Gunner With Admiral Dewey WASHINGTON, July 15.—With all our disposition to be on frlendlj terms with the British our naval officers are quick to resent the allegations made to the effect that Dew ey owed his marvelous success at Manila to the employment of Kngllsh gunners, whom he had engaged at fabulous wages at Hong Kong before he sailed for Manila. \ Such a statement as this was made by Cunningham Graham, an ex-member of Parliament.

It Is rumored that definite knowl edge has been received regarding the where abouts ot the Spanish privateer of which considerable mention has been made. Sev eral vessels laden with gold are expected from St. Michael. The gunboat Wheeling was sent to that port some time ago to guard American Interests there. Just hew the two warships may act In conjunction Is not given out, but It may be that the Ben nington will divide the work of patrol duty with the Wheeling. Th* latter might com* part of th* voyage with the treasure shins and the Bennington continue the journey to this or the Sound ports Wanted Red's Money "Red" Phillips, th* pugilist, and A. Is. Ball were arrested at the corner of First and Main Btreet* last night by Officer Blackburn, on a charge of disturbing th* peace. "Red" was in quit* a prosperous condition, and, in the exuberance of hav ing money, dropped some by accident on th* sidewalk. Ball and a companion named Moore, both Intoxicated, were pa—jug at the time and the gladsome chink of th* coin reached their ears. They thought that some kind-hearted man wa* going to givs them a scramble, so both jumped for "Red's" money before that worthy had an opportunity of picking it up. "ittd" wa* quick enough to fight, and th* pugilist sailed into the pair and whipped them In short order. Moore beat a haity retreat, while the others were caught by th* offi cer. Phillips was later balled out. Griffo in More Trouble A dispatch from Ban Francisco yester day states that Young Griffo, th* prise fighter, was sentenced to 30 day* In ths elty prison for vagrancy. This make* the *eo ond time that Griffo has heard the clang ing of iron doors and bade farewell fo the world for a temporary and enforced rest. He was sentenced to serve 80 day* Soma time ago for vagrancy, and the aeoond charge against him I* apparently of more recent date.
