SANTIAGO, July 20. General Garcia

of picked men. He started westward
to meet and confer with General Gomez
relative to grievances against the
Americans. He makes' no secret of his
resentment against General Shatter on
account of the course pursued since the
surrender of the city. The coming con
ference with the Cuban commander In
chief is regarded as of the utmost Im
portance. General Garcia is especially
dissatisfied over the fact that Cuban
loldiers were not permitted in the city

Shatter thinking the danger of a

GARCIA MUST RESTRAIN MEN.
By Telegraph to the Times-Visitor.
WASHINGTON, July 20. Some ap
prehension is felt as to the outcome of
the strained relations between Ameri
cans and the Cubans at Santiago but
Secretary Alger makes light cf the alJ
leged friction. He says if trouble oc
curs it will be quickly met and con
veniently. Representatives of the Junta are not
in sympathy with the desires of the Cu
bans to sack the city. They have ca
bled Garcia to restrain the men, and
permit no actions that will compel the
United States to suppress them as me
naces to public safety. There is doubt
In official circles that the Cuban re
public will be ignored for the present.

REPUBLICANS MEET.
Gov rnor Russell Attending
the Convention
E. HOLTON'S SPEECH
J. C, L Harris Failed to Get On the lat-
forra Committer Contests from I'nion
and Cumberland Afternoon
Session.
The convention of the Republican
party of North Carolina convened in
Metropolitan Hall to-day shortly after
noon. The personel of the convention
was far above that of the average Re
publican gathering; this was due per
haps to the fact that the office holders
predominated.
Exactly at noon Governor Russell
made his way down the center aisle
amid dead silence. However, Assist
ant District Attorney Wheeler Martin,
of Williamston, and others soon gath
ered about the Governor and welcomed
him. He was surrounded by a small
group until Chairman Holton's gavel
fell. The Governor took a seat in the
delegation from the Sixth district.
Last evening the delegations from
the various Congressional districts met
to select their representatives on the
committees. The anti-Russell men
stole a march on the Governor's
friends in this, the Fourth district. The
delegates from Wake county are J. C.

E. A. Johnson, James H. Young and

district met at tne lamorougn nuuse
last night and Harris and Young knew
nothing about the meeting. Indeed Jim
Young says that not half of the thirty
delegates were present. C. T. Bailey
was selected to represent the district
on the State committee, a colored man,
Eaton, from Vance, on the platform
committee and J. T. Thornburg of Ran
dolph on the credential committee. Mr.
Harris had been slated for the com
mittee on platform and he is hot at the
method used in selecting the represen
tatives. .
The only other significant events of
these caucuses were a fight between the
Russell and- anti-Russell men in the
First district over membership on the
platform committee in which District
Attorney Claud Bernard was victorious,
and a contest in the Seventh for mem
bership on the State committee in
which Postmaster Long of Statesville
defeated Mr. Warren V. Hall by two
votes.
Nearly every officeholder was present sembled, but Oscar Spears announced

"Again I congratulate you upon your
having a Republican administration
under which this war with Spain is be

to be largely due to the wise and pa
triotic action of Prpsiflpnt MpTC"inlev in
'its early stages, when the whole nation
seemed to be wild with the demand to

and patriotic' heart he held back the

victory sure vanquishing the enemy in
a manner heretofore unknown to war

comfort and welfare of those engaged

' He now mourns with the people of
our State the loss of the brave soldier

upon the field of battle, and has shown
himself to be the President of the
whole nation breaking down all sec

South now stand side by side to pro

now bent in unison to make this the
greatest nation on earth, and this work
will redound to the prosperity of this
nation for generations to come.
"Let us do the work of this conven
tion with an eye single to the welfare
of the people of our beloved State and
the perpetuation of this the greatest
Republic." (Applause.)
The speech nf the chairman was sig
nificant in that no reference was made
to Governor Russell.
Secretary W. S. Hvams then read the
call for the convention and called the
irol, of countes and the delegates sent

MEN WHO AE HERE

A Few lucid ruts Re
called by Visitor s.
Mr. Morrison H. H. Caldwell, of
Concord the Populist nominee for Con
gress in his district is stopping at the
Branson House. Mr. Caldwell is here
to attend the meeting of the directors
of the State penitentiary and yester
day he paid a visit to Mr. Hal W.
Ayer, chairman of the State Populist
Executive Committee.
"Look here Ayer," said the Con
gressional nominee from the Seventh
district, "that campaign document you
sent out denouncing lawyers is going
to give me trouble in my district."
"How is that," asked the chairman
with a broad smile that showed that
the nominee's profession had been
brought to mind.
"Well," said the Cabarrus Congres
sional aspirant, "the othT day as I
was standing outside of the convention
hall waiting to be escorted in to meet
my fate, an old farmer from an ad
joining county said to me 'What's you
profession?' 'What's my profession?
What do I do?' asked I. 'Yes, sar.
what's your business, that's what I
said,' he repeated. I told him I was
lawyer and then looking me square
p in the face says he: 'There's fifty
Populist votes in my county you can't
git and mine's one of 'em.'
The chairman and Auditor smiled.
The Cabarrus statesman smiled and
then paused as if he could see the far
mer still standing before nlm.
'What did you do?" asked Auditor
Ayer.
"I asked him, Why? and he told me,"
aid Mr. Caldwell and then he paused
again.
The Auditor-Chairman grew Impa-
ient. He wondered what trouble he
had brought upon his party's nominee
nd then he asked: "Well, what did
e sav?"
Right there's the trouble," confin
ed Mr. Caldwell, "he said the fifty
had gotten together and had taken
ath not to vote for anv lawyer for
nything except Judge. You bet I be
gan a tall piece of missionary work.
Here the politician closed the conver
sation. He rushed off to his business,
ut not until he convinced the Auditor
that he had reconverted the wandering
rother.
"Good evening, Judge Adams," was
the salute Mavor Russ received from
delegate who stood with four com
panions in front of the market. The
Mavor returned the salutation gra
ciously, and a friendly chat ensued.
Finally one delegate politely inquired.
Judge, did you ever get in any little
scrapes yourself?" The Mayor said he
as once in the ring with the boys, and
the delighted delegate then slapped
him on the back and swore that he
was just the kind of judge the boys
wanted, and since the speaker was in
a little court scrape now he hoped the
udge would be easy with him. Mayor
Russ, thinking the thing had gone far
nough, said to the delegate, who had
o graciously introduced him, "I am
not Judge Adams, but William Russ."
Oh! ves, exclaimed the loquacious
lelegate, "excuse me gentlemen, but
ou have the honor of addresing Gov
ernor Russll." This time the Mayor
ost not a moment in correcting the
mistake and left the blundering intro-
lucer scratching his head and mutter-
nir, "Well, 1 swear boys. I didn't think
ine drink would have so much effect
on a fellow."
There were two men sealed in the
Yarborouh lobby this morning talk
ing of the convention and the com
plexion of the delegates. The con
versation was dragging when a tall,
seven-foot mountaineer with wild and
wooly western locks hanging down his
hack, entered the door and carefully
scanned the crowded lobby.
'Who's that?" asked the younger of
the two, who is here attending his
first convention.
"That man," said the other, who, by
the way, has not missed a Republican
State Convention for twenty years.
that man is one of the Dralniest pol
iticians in the west. In him the lead-
rs have confidence and the ablest ask
his cood counsel. He is the pride of
Madison countv, and every small boy
Marshall has to look up to him.
He is not a conceited man and yet in
a way he looks down on even Pis Dest
friends. Yes. he is bright fellow. Ask
him who he is and if you gain his con
fidence you will h am that he is none
other than Pritchard's manager, a
board of strategy nil by himself. He
is without doubt what I call a big
man,
"Well, who is he?" again queried the
younger politician.
"John A. Hendricks, or Marsnail,
Madison, county, N. C, one of the "
and there the conversation ended. Mr.
Hendricks had been attracted to the
scene by the familiar voice of a dis
tinguished friend calling out the name
of a prominent manager of a United
States Senator and with his long fore
finger of his right hand he beckoned
to the old friend to come to him.
"This Is a pleasant surprise to me,"
said a well known travelling man at
the Carrollton this morning. "When I
came to Raleigh yesterday a porter
called to me and took my baggage in
hand. He brought me here, the clerk
gave a cool room, my sample cases were
well handled and placed In a good
room for displaying , and since break
fast I feel once more like a well-bread,
well-fed gentleman. The other day I
was down east and heard a friend
speak of Judd Carroll, with whom we
used to travel, and he told me Judd was
going to open up a hotel in Raleigh,
and hoped to make It pleasant , and
homelike for we homeless fellows.' I'm
glad to be here. It's a nice place and .
I will appreciate it if you will come up
In mv room and see the coolest t
' number in the country." s ; f.v
