last Wednesday night Is made In letters
recelvol In this city today by I dhtngushed !
member ot the revolutionary puty. Accord-
Ing to the news telFgraphel1 from Havana the
day after , the catastrophe was due to
colslon ! between the cruiser and a merchant
stemer. I Is now stated as an abo'ute
tact that the cruiser was struck by a floating
torpedo launched by an adventurous party of
Cubns. The Cuban leader who received the
letter said :
"The Spanish government knows full well
we sunk their best cruser : and sent to theIr
deaths Admiral Delgado Ierejo , In commanl
at the Spanish navy In Cuban waters , five
officers and thlrty-rour men. We know here

sible. The werle at the torpedo was even
more speedy than was antlelpatol. Not five
mnutes ! ( elapsed 1 before It exploded wih a report
port that was heard foveral miles away.
From what those on the boat ray . It must
have gone off about fry feet away from
the cruiser and struck her In the starboard
side. I Is true the merchant steamer Mar-
tera was near the vessel ut the time and that
sh : too suffered damage . bu1 It was not ferl-
ous by any mneans and It the men on baud

SYRACUSE , N. Y. , Sept. 22.-Where one
week ago today the republicans at Saratoga
had practcUy settled all differences at their
conventIon . with the single exczptlon at the
excise plank , here In this cty ! , forty-eight
hours prIor to the meeting at the demo-
cratc convention , no details have been set-
tlo.I and those few delegates who have ar-
rived arc absolutely at sea as to what wla
be the ticket and the platform. There does
not seem to be any anxiety In the mater ,
eXcrpt over two points-that at the dispositIon
at the excise mater and the seWemet ef dis-
putes between the fatioas. Even In th's
later the anxIety seems to relate to New
New York alone and the contests : for mInor
countIes arc merely looked upon as temporary -
porary matters which will be settled prior
to the meetIng of the conventIon. Ierhap3
the most curIous feature at this com'n
democratic conventIon Is the fact that none
at the leader have arrived la this city . headquarters -
quarters . whIch were engaged - weeks ago , are
unoccuped and even the rcols engaged
by the sm111r fish Hl : bob and feat about
the leader are still unoccupied. Senator
hut Is suppose to be In Albany Senator
Murphmy Ichaf1 Cruker and WIlliam F.
Sheehan are In Saratoga and William It.
Grace Charles H. FalrchlJ and E. El"ry
Anderson are still In New York. None of the
Kings county men are here all the Erie
county men , who have harmonized theIr ! (1-
fermces and elected a mixed delegation , will
probably not be here until tomorrow after-
.
noon.
The only band : hear on the streets today
was that at the SalvatIon army hotel corridors -
riders contain only , newspaper men and the
general poiulatloms. Tomorrow arrno n
Tammany 501 strong will arrive with the
state Iemocracy people , 250 In number , upon
thor : heels , and there Is likely to be music.
HAIINIZING FACTIONS.
First at all In the work to be accom-
pushed prior to the opening at the convention
Is settlIng the difference among thc factIons
at the party from those countIes that have
elected two sets ot delegatEs There are
smal contests In Wayne and Oswego coun-
ties , which may be settled by threats rather
than moral suaslon . I Is pretty wel agreed ,
so far as Kings county goes that arrange-
ments entered Into by the arbitration com-
mitee of the JemocrJtc state committee
will be agreed to by both factions. ThIs
report gives to the regular organization two-
thirds or a vote apL'ce and to the contestants ,
known as the Slmepardites . one-thIrd ot I
vote This seems to be satisfactory . upon
the ground that tie third at a vote given
to the Shepard men fully represents their
strength tn Kings county.
The general sentiment among the lealcs
and even among the rank and file Is l that
the New York contest should be settled lu
the same manner. But Tammany 'reprc-
sentatiwos are here and are loud In their
sentat\cs
assertIons that the vote controlled by thc state
democracy In New York by no means en-
titled them to n one-thlrll representation ,
and I they were given a on.fourth repre-
5entaton they would have , even then , mora
than theIr quota.
There Is also a sentIment amonl some
at the state democracy men that Tammany
should not be granted any concessions. Not
that It would particularly antagonize them
but that It would be a confession on the
part of the machine organization that would
be discredItable to Tammany and the state
machIne alike. So tar as can be learned
tonIght the state democracy wIll tomorrow
meet the Tammanyles and demand representation -
sentaton ofone.hmaif. The Tammany leaders
wIll refuse this proposItion and the mater
wIll be referred to the tate committee fur
settlement. HLnckley's committee will make
the politic offer at a representation at one-
third , which Is In the nature at a com-
vromlse.
SLATES WILL DE SIASHED.
If there Is a slate at candidates In exIstence -
Istence 1 Is In some one's pocket and ts
lIkely to be smashed The mater ot can-
dldtes will have Fame effect upon the con-
tests for It the leaders at the state democracy
find the state Is dlstlcty against theIr faction -
tion they wIll Insist upon 8 large representation -
sentation . WhL\e \ It they feel that they are
concessIons. properly In this mater they will agree V to
From the list at candlates the followIng
mnay be picked out tonIght as the most likely
to compose the ticket :
For secretary at state General Horato
C. King at Kings ; attorney general I ) . C.
GrIffin at Jefferson : comptroller . Augustus
Scheu at Erie ; state treasurer . D. I. Dow r
Schoharie ! ; state engineer George Clnleen-
wald . Oneida : judge ot the court at nppeals
Edward S. Rapolo at New York.
The only objection to this. slate that can
be argue Is that New York CIty does not
get the places on the tIcket that she has
asked for. Her candidates 50 far are Theo-
dore Myers for comptroller , Juhn A. Mason
for state treasurer . Judge Hapolo for the
court at appeals. From a purely lucratIve
standpoint , the position acccrded them on
the above slate that at tie court or appeals ,
Is the best at the lot , but 1 Is devoid of
political Influence.
AS TO SUNDAY SALOONS.
I Is the general consensus at opinion hero
tonight that a majority at time delcgates to
the convention wi favor a local option
clause In the platform as to Sunday opening
of saloons. A promInent delegate JII to-
night : "It has been propoied to adopt tact
'ear's plank and modify It , I shall read
about as follows : 'We oppose all sumptuary
legislation which neldlessly Interferes with
the peronal liberty or renmable customs of
the people. We believe In equitable excise
legislation , whIch care tuly regulates the sale
at Intoxicating liquors . prescrIbes just fees
for licenses and pmeserves all needed re-
stricton for the maintenance at order and
the god at society. We protest agaInst a
sumptuary law which la arbitrary and ot burdensome -
densome provisions h. In needless restraint
of Individual liberty and Is opposed to public
sentiment and liberal public policy. We advocate -
vocato such modifications by the legislature
at lisa present law as will admIt of proper
observance at the Sabbath day , and yet not
Ilt neele ! ' restrIcton ! upon the people ,
and that the residents ot different localities
be allowed local options as to the sale of
liquors on Sunday. ' .
TAMMANY'S PROPOSITION.
Senator Charles Guy said tonIght that foe
at the Tammany people hd a new proposItion
to present regarding the uclso ! quCt n. He
Sid : "Under the new . constituCon ! the \ cItes
at tie state are dh.lle 1 Iota threa clules ,
which the constitutional convention dOJlgnel1
should be governed by dIfferent chsers and
might have specIal state laws to govern
them. The demand for a change In the exc'sc
laws , so far a Suaday 1 concE.ned , comes
entirely from cItes ' of the first c'ass three In

any demand later by cities of the seclod and
