By ono of tho most brilliant exploits In naval annals tho cork has boon driven Into tho bottle at Santiago do Cuba, and the Spanish fleet could not bo moro secure were tho entrance to that harbor doored, barred and double locked nnd the key dropped Into tho bottomless deptii of the sea. Lieutenant Richmond P. Hobson, of tho flagship New York, with a volun teer crow of seven men, under covor of the darkness after tho moon had set, shortly after 3 o'clock Friday morning, ran tho big collier Merrimnc into tho throat of tho harbor, swung her broad side across tho channel, and then ex ploded and sank her. He succeeded In this dosporato enterprise undor tho fires of the batteries and forts which guard tho entrance without support from tho licet. Ensign Powell, also of tho New York, with a steam launch, crept closo under tho guns of Morro Castlo to take off tho heroes of tho Merrlmac, and re mained thero plucklly until daylight discovered his position, without see ing a trace of tho Merrlmao's daring crow To have remained longer would havo been sheer madness.

News of a positive character lias been received here that either the Spanish torpedo boat destroyer Terror or Furor, has been destroyed by the United States battleship Oregon The strongest probability is that the destroyed vessel is the Terror, which was ordered from Martini que under the neutrality laws. It can hardly be the Furor, as it was shown quite conclusively that that vessel was within the harbor of Santiago. LATEK. A sailing vessel named Antonio has just arrived here with a report concerning the Oregon and Terror that is given credence. The Terror was sighted by the Oregon while sneaking along close to the shore and trying to make Santiago. The Oregon signaled the Spanish vessel and the latter failed to answer. Capt. Clark, of the Oregon, ordered one of the 13-inch guns into play and a shell struck the Terror fairly. The Spanish vessel quickly went to the bottom and carried all hands with her.

Greater Interest In political allalrs is liianifiwtpil amnnv flm loaucrsoi bolli parties within the past week 1 revious to tliat timo the war occupied the attention of tho patriots hut the result of 111c Jiepunilcan convention and the near ap proach of the Democratic eoncl.ivr at Al tooua has stirred up tho men who "mojld public opinion'' to a degree of ac tivity. 1 lie principal topic just at this time is tin, address of tlio delegatus from this county to 1110 womoeraiic suite convention, issued at a meeting hold in this town 011 Saturday. The gontlonien in attendance were Messrs. 1'. J. Mulhollaiid and M. J. Lawlnr. Shenandoah: Daniel (luinan, Mahanoy City, 1st legisla tive District: T. J. O'ISoylc, llockschorvilln. 2nd district: John O. Ulrich and Duviil Glldou, tho latter of Coal D.1I0. of tho 3rd district, and W. I-'. Shonhord. Frederick I'ortz, Uiiarlos Graebor, Thomas L. O'Don- noll, and I!. S. Hashoro. of tho 1th district. It is needless to say that they are all un. compromising silverites. Their address quito lengthy, and they deal a body-blow at tlio gold-standard Democrats and in plain lhigllsh tell them they are not wanted in flm councils of the party, and sound a warning to the Democratic voters "to guard against a repetition of the treachery 111 lww." Con tinuing in this line the address says : "The treason of the gentlemen who. thouuk nro- fossing to bo ifeiiiocrals, deliberately stabbed tho party in the back in 1M)II, must not bo too readily foigotten, nor must they again be placed in position to betray the party into tho hands of tho enemy. The deserters of 1MKJ must not be placed in command of tho Democratic fones in IbUS. Treason must not bo rewarded with promotion if Democracy and its principles are to triumph in the fu ture." "Tlio purpose of this add ress is to warn the Democratic voters of tho county agaiust tho intrigue and troachory of the gentlemen who aro known to be couspirine to brim- dishonor and discredit on the organization by ""s 'i repuuiaie us own principles. " Fur several months past a systematic and well organized effort has been made to cap ture tho county convention and to repudiate the Chicago platform. It is your duty to see that only men who wore loyal to the ticket and to tho cause of truo Deinocraev in lwifi shall bo sent as delegatus to tho county con vention noxt month. " Tho address closes with resolutions on. dorsing the Chicago platform, the silver Re publican party and tho Peoplos party. xuo action ot the delegates is luuked nnnn as a bold scheme on tho part of certain can didates to capture tho Democratic county convention, and to secure their nomination. Among thoso announced as candidates for Congress, James W. Iiyan is tlio only ono who openly advocated the principles of tho Chicago platform; both W. A. Marr and Georgo J. Wadliugor were at heart auti silveriles, but tho forinor being county chair man last jear givos lnm the advantage; but tlio thrco candidates for District Attorney Koburt lUshoro, M. 1'. MuLauchli n and James Moraii are all pronounced Silvorites, so you can tako your choice. Messrs. Vadlluger and Qiiiun. candidates forjudge nnd Congress respectively, have developed such unexpected strength that tlieir opponents havo becomo frightened and it is bolioved havo brought out this free silver scare-crow to encompass tlieir defeat, if possible. The friends of tho two candidates montloiied say they are as loyal as any Dainocrat in tho county and point to tho fact that tho most rabid freo silverites in the county aro their anient supporters. James II. Heilly ami Georgo J. Wadliniior aro the men the author of tho addross is gunning for, and designate them as tho "deserters of 1800." As a prominent Democrat oxpiessed it, "Wo have patiently awaited the opportune timo to return tho compliment to thoso pro fessed Democrats who weie either openly opposed to or lukewarm in the election of William Jennings Ilryan, and that timo Iibb arrived. The action of tho state defecates is in 1110 suiipo ot a warning, and if that Is not heoded wo will adopt more stringent and ellectivo measures. ' It is plain to see that our Democratic friends aro developing a largo sized family row, and the county convention noxt mouth will bo anything but a harmonious Catherine. Tho spirited contest for delegates in most of tho districts is only a prelude to the grand winu-up Here ou July nth. Till: IIUI'UIII.ICANS. To say that tho result, of the Republican stato convention, so far as tho delegates from this county is concerned, is anything but sat isfactory to tho "loaders" of the Quay faction, is only stating a fart that is self- evident. Assurances had been given tho state loaders that Schuylkill would send n solid delegation for 111. A. Stone, and some of tho local Stone men even went so far as to havo themselves intorviowed Itruium among tho number pledging eight votes for their favorite. The result shows how much they knew about tho sentiment of tho pcoplo on this question. The Schuylkill delegation was not oulv divided, but the repruscntutluw from tho Thirtieth district called upon the "Old Man1 at Ilarrisburg and entered a strung protest against certain local Quay leaders. It is needless to say tho Congressman from this district was not slighted. The conference with tho Heaver statesman, I am told, was very satisfactory and tho Schuylkill dcJoia turn feels satisfied that their visit willdu velop results ill the near future. Tim ltlUUT MAN. Tho local Republican leaders are now turn ing their attention to tho county fight. Al though tho date for tho county convention has not been decided upon, yet several moves havo been made looking ta tlio formation of a winning ticket. There has been but one name montloiied in connection with tho Judicial nomination. Judge li. 11. Koch will receive a unanimous nomination, and ho deserves It. Siuco ho has heou 011 tho bench, by appointment of Governor Hastings, lie has won the admiration of both Democratic and ltepublloaii members uf tho liar. His ability no 0110 will question. A uumbur of iiauiQK havo beii mentioned for Congress, among them being Andrew Couiroy.ex-Seuator Ketfor, John T, Schoenor, Charles K. Quail and F.lias Davis.
