A letter from Havana under date of September 15 Baysien The graphic account by Captain Ariza of the bat- ‘tle of Yareyabo, in which General Calixto Garcia ‘was taken prisoner and thirty-six Insurgents were Killed, without a single casualty tg the Spaniards, seems to be purely an emanation of the tertile brain of the Spanish Captain. Letters from San- tlago de Cuba and Manzanillo state that a truce of ten days had been agreed upon between the Span. ish commander of the district, General Marin, and General Calixto Gurcia lor the adjustment of cer- tain questions, and Garcia and his) oiticers ap- pointed'a place for the conference.

New Casts, Del., Sept. 22, 1874, The recent prediction of the noted bank robber, Frank McDonald, known as ‘Big Frank,” that be would soon emerge irom the jail in this city, where he was incarcerated, was fulfilled by ts escape about one o’clock this morning, The only WITNESS OF THE RsCAPB is said to have been Night Warden Levi Wilson, who had charge of the prison at the time.

Lyceum Theatre—“La Princesse Trebizonde.” This charming opera, probably one of the most enjoyable of the prolific Ofenbach’s works, has entered upon a career of success at the Lyceum | fully equal to that which attended the production of “La Grande Duchesse” and “Genevieve de Brabant.” The sparkl.ng nature of the play itself, leaving the music out of the question, with such admirable interpreters as Miles. Aimee, Minelly, Ganon and Kid, and MM. Debouchet, Dupian aud Debeer, is quite an attraction, are woven some of tie most seductive strains of the Franco-German composer, lyric champagne, as it were, it can be readily understood why “La Princesse” should have becume such a sterling favorite. The house was crowded last night, and aichough the cast bas not been changed since the first repre- sentation, the efforts of the artists have succeeded in introducing new features of interest, particu- larly in the scinUliating dialogue and dasning music, may be generally found on the opéra boufe boards. preparation, but in view ot tue success of the new Offenbachian ra there 1s littie likelivood of a change for many nights to come. Central Park Garden—Thomas’ well. Theodore Thomas and his orchestra took a final leave of Central Park Garden last night, the pro- gramme being entirely devoted to Wagner. The hall and garden were 60 crowded that it was a dificult matter for late comers even to gain ad- mittance. It wasa deserving tribute of the me- tropolitan public to one who has done so much in the cause of true art. The conductor was cheered and applauded at the conclusion as only a popular favorite might expect, and his band played with more than ordinary spirit and effect, Antdea of the work of Mr. Theodore Thomas during the summer season, at Central Park Gar- den, may be seen from the following list of classi- cal works performed:—Overtures, 74; sympho- Fare- | | nies, suites, &c., 46; entr’ actes, fancasias, ballets and selections from operas, 64; marches, 20 (the leading works).

A new feature of these concerts will be the public rehearsals, One full public rehearsal will be given two days in advance of the concert, No doubt this arrangement will be received with pleasure by stu- dents of music and by persons who are prevented from attending the evening concerts, The fact that he gives also a regular series of symphony concerts in Boston, Philadelphia, New Haven and other cities, show how firm a ioothold he tas taken in these cities, and how rapidly a taste Jor the best class of music has been developed by the trequent visits of this orchestra.

Exciting Struggle for the Second | Place on the Ticket. THE CUSTOM HOUSE INTRIGUERS. oe Robinson and Batcheller the Only Re- maining Candidates in the Field. ; Renomination of the Entire Old | ‘ Ticket Foreshadowed. Utica, N. Y., Sept. 22, 1874. There is a tremendous crowd in the city, and judging from the gatherings at the hotels and the groups that are to be met with on the cor- | ner of every street in the neighborhood of the hoteis, every county in the State besides its regu- lar delegates must have sent a dozen or so of | her poiitical wire pullers to see that their Tepresentatives do not go astray and that | everything is done properly for the interest | of the party. Nearly all the repubican | | Senators are here and fully three-fifths of the republicans of the tower House. Indeed, any- | body familiar with the crowds that haunt the hotels at Albany during winter would be led to believe, at first, that the Convention on Wednes- day is to be really the assembling of the Legisia- ture itself, In tact, many of the Senators and Assemblymen are delegates, and a large number of those who are not are ex-Senators and ex- | members or the Assembly. Every indication now gives promise that the Convention will be a har- monious one. There has been all day THE MOST INTENSE EXCITEMENT, and the arrival of the country delegates, each delegation without having any fixed purpose of its own, seeming only anxious to learn how each | other stood, has but added to the general hubbup and confusion, The fact is, everybody seemed to be at sea, or, to put it more plainly, airaid to de- clare themselves one way or the orber. The major- | ity of the country sm il fry, who will onty do the voting and have but little to do or say about the preliminary management of things, talked | at first somewhat treely as to what they thought was best to be done, so far as the officers other than Dix are concerned, but they will be drawn into the drag net by their lead- ers when the proper time comes, and in fact what- | evel direction the leaders see fit to take, their talk amounts to but very litle as an indication of What may happen to-morrow, Still this very fact only goes to show that matters will be arranged | 8o that no hiten will occur to-morrow and that the | Managers know the material they have to deal with, Early this forenoon, when the trains from the West began to arrive in quick succession, it was apparent that the general sentiment of the leading men Among them was for | the renomination of the old ticket sure, without a scratch; but aiter dinner a few of them became | mysteriously reticent on the subject, and left all | the predictions and what-ought-to-be-done busi- | ness to those who had nothing to lose by speaking | right out in meeting. The secret of this was the | stand that was taken by Collector Arthur, George Bliss and several others of THE CUSTOM HOUSE PARTY in tavor of pushing the claims of A. B. Cornell for Lieutenant-Governor, A few days ago it was | decided by the Custom House men that Cornell | | would consent to have his name used in connec- tion with the position, and so the heavy pressure that was brought to bear to-day tn his favor so | suddenly, coupled with the strange absence of | Cornell himself, took not a tew of even the knowing | ones by surprise. At noon nothing was talked about but his chances, and what muddled matters worse was the discovery that a part of the New York delegation reiused to go tor lum, ‘This, in the ab- sence of several of the prominent dviegates, such as E. D. Morgan, was not by any means a pleasant situation for Cornell’s active advocates, and tora time it looked very much as though he would be pressed no longer. An agreement was fivaily | come to between the disagreeing members tat it it became certain, alter a thorough canvass | and sounding of the delegates, that enough votes could not be secured outside the New York | delegation to nominate him, his name would not | be menticned in the Convention as a candidate | against Robinson, who would then be given the votes intended for Cornell. All this time General Batcheller’s iriends were working like beavers to gather ail the strength they could to make him | formidab.e in the Convention, and as they made considerable headway—which, 01 course, did not facilitate the plans of the Custom House peopie m their search tor rural aid and assistance— | vhe situation became all the more complex and annoying. . lt was not until late in the aiternoon that @ majority of the Northern and Western del- | with them, are dead against a third term and aee to it that no combination them; but, as at present the “old ticket" party seems to have the best of the strug- gle, these promises are not regarded as of much account, In fact itis now certain that the New York delegation wil {urow tts solid vote for Robinson in the Convention to-morrow, and that be will be nominated by George Shurpe| in order to show vie “old ticket? party that they were not inimical to nim at any time, even though some of them were anxious to elect another per-on, It can, there ore, be taken for granted that in renominating Rolimson the enure old ticket will be renomiuated, His friends are confide: at he will win. and as On- ondaga, Cayuga, Wayne, Otsego, Albany, Erie, Monrve, Orleans, Westchester, Delaware, Tioga, ‘ompkins and Washington county delega- tions, with here and there a ‘scattering vote for Batchellor, are known to be tor him, there can ve but 'itue doubt of the final result. Saratoga, Kensselaer, Schenectady, Fulton, Hamilton, st.

At six o'clock Governor Robinson's trienas were confident, Batcheller’s hopeful and Corneli’s noncommital | as to what strength they really had. It was | urged against Robinson’ that he would not | make a suitable Governor in case General Dix | was electcd Senator. But, on the other hand, his | friends contended that it was not certain that | Dix would take the Senatorsuip, even if | | he could get it for the mere asking, | and that he assuredly would not give up the Gubernatorial chair simply to oblige Mr. | Cornell, Who, tailing to secure the Governorship in the usual way, was willing to seize upon it im this indirect manner. Some mdiscreet inends of | Mr. Cornell apparently weakened his case by the | statement that Kobinson had charged over $4,000 for mileage more than.he was actually entitied to, and actually had the coolness to send tor Comp- troller Hopkins to come up here and officially con- | firm the accusation, It turaed out during the | taik about the matter that the Comptroller aud Robinson are not very good friends, and that when the latter sent in his mileage bitls Mr. Hop- | kins referred them to the Attorney Generai for | his opinion as to whether: they were not over- charged. Whether they were strictly legal charges no one seemed tobe able tostate; but, at all events, | Robinson’s friends contended that they were not any greater than the charges made by bis prede- cessors, While this way oi making war on Robin- son drew away some i his ruralsupporters it was evident that many of the delegates, who were in doubt before, did not like the style of them, and Openly declared that they would stand by him, anyhow. THE GREAT QUESTION, however, as to whether the old ticket should be renominated in its entirety or not, reduced itself down to simply a battle-between the ins and outs. ‘The Canal Commissioner and the State Prison In- Spector now in office, backed by their Iriends, felt that if the ticket was broken the hundred and one candidates for their positions would have good cause to try to oust them, and so they lent all their efforts to have Robinson retained. On the contrary, the Jriends of the various aspl- | rants dia thety utmost to have him scratched off | aid either Cornell or Batcheller put in his place, It will be seen, therefore, that it has been a pull | and haul game all day long. | However, it finally became evident to the gentle- | men who were anxious to see Cornell succeed that he could not get the strength necessary out | side of his own delegation to secure tor him what | was wanted—not simply & majority, but a hand- some majority in the Convention—and thereupon | they gave it out that he was nota candiaate. In- | deed, they even went further, ana tried to make | everybody obeileve that he had not been @ candidate during the day at all; at any rate, he was ho longer talked of as @ candidate by nine o’clock, and the fleld oO: battie was therefore leit | open for the triends of Batcneller and the friends | of what is now known as the “old ticket party.” THE STRUGGLE FOR BATCHELLER.

Ata meeting of the State Committee to-night | THE KELLY-HAVEMEYER CONFLICT. | ee Kelly's Defence Not Yet Ready—What the Big | Chief Says About It—The Probab!e Points— An Explanation of Some Charges—That cuse Promise—What Have- meyer’s Friends Say. | The statement of John Kelly, in response to the | Havemeyer-Waterbury document, is not yet ready | and, likely, will mot be given to the public before Monday next. A HERALD representative called | on Mr. Kelly at his office in Nassau street, yester- | day, and conversed with him relative to the | charge: | buttonhole the new “Bosa’? an | Particular claims upon him, The stairs leading to tne office bad many occupants long vefore the hour | announced for Mr. Kelly's appearance—twelve | | o'clock. A delegation of workingmen from the Nineteenth ward, headed by W. R. Nichols, not & workingman, was a.so on hand, | THE COMING STATESENT—MR. KELLY’S SIDE. Mr. Kelly expressed his desire that the state. ment in refutation of Havemeyer’s charges should be given to the press as soon as possible, “Delays are dangerous,” was the quotation to which his | attention was called. The gentleman acxnowi- | | Cdged the truth of the maxim, but replied that | Much work had to be accomplished before the | statement could be completed. Books and papers, which kad accumulated for six years, had | to be closely scrutinized and copies made of cer- | | tain portions, Figures bad to be compare: | and much work done with which the gen- | eral public was not at ail familiar. It was | rumored around the City Hall yesterday | that Mr, Henry L. Clinton had prpcured orders of arrest in the Supreme Court Chambers, from Judge ; Donohue against Havermeyer and Waterbury. No | authentic confirmation of this rumor could be | | traced. Mr. Clinton was, no doubt, in court at an | | early hour yesterday morning,&nd procured the sig- | Nature of Judge Donohue tosome documents, but | their purport did not transpire, Mr. Kelly denied | that any such process had as yet been issued, He | states that his programme will be to send his state- ment to the pubiic beiore be moves upon the | enemy's line in a judictal sense, | | THAT ALLEGED COSTLY SHAVE OF MURDERERS—AN | | EXPLANATION, | | Among the items of fraudulent bills charged | against Mr, Kelly as Sherif is $49 for shaving Jeremiah O’Brien belore his being conducted to the gallows. Of course the Sherif is not ex- pected to perform tne duties of a tonsorial artist himself on those occasions, but is allowed to pro- cure the services of a gentieman brought up in , this noble profession, Mr. Kelly’s explanation of | this rather expensive charge for one shave is set | forth im the assertion that wus duty extended over a period of several weeks, and that oer murderers had received the benefits aiising irom the shaving operation. | Mr. Kelly’s statement itself will | shorter tuan the jengthy document | gated by our Knickerbocker statesman, Mr. Have- meyer. Mr. Kelly alleges that his explanations | wul entirely disprove tue allegations as to iraud. Facts and figures will alone be put lorth; gene eralities and personal utterances leit out.

Outside were the couriers and ward nilosophers who go to make up the stuff of our latest renowned political chieitain, The gas light that blinked so inquiringly in at the Lexington av- enue palace on Monday night did not enliven the conversation. Light was cast irom the adjacent parlor. Mr. Keily then and there em- phatically informed the correspondent that the day of doom was at hand for) Waterbury and Havemeyer, He _ had _ tele- raphed vo his counsel to meet nim in New York on | jonday morning. At that time ne would promul- | gate his orders for the immediate arrest ot the | dlayor and his literary satelite, Nelson J. Water- | bury. | Now, Mr. Kelly’s explanation of the failure to carry out thes¢ threats amounted simply to the Statement to the HERALD representative yester- day that he was guided entirely by advice of counsel.

A keen anxiety to learn ali the tactics of the | campaign was manifested among politicians and the public yesterday, The more tery of the Tam- many braves feel disappointed at the less vigorous course pursued, They had been electrified by the | | thought that Havemeyer and Waterbury would be | | arrested lor slander on the return of their chief, | | The MERALD’S despatch from Syracuse promul- | gated | this information, The policy, if car- ried out, ite 18 said, Would have created an enthusiasm calculated to forward tne fortunes of Tammany. Many chafe at the delay | in publishing the contradiction. The friends of Havemeyer are exuberant. It was asserted yester- | day by many that not only are the supplementary charges mucin graver, but that the ex-Sheruf knows them to be so, and that this knowledge ex- plains his caution in the opening oi nis deiensive Operations, ‘They | a false move or take a hasty step; that he knows | the uncertain ground on which he treads; that, in fact, the sappers and miners of his enemies have made his path so full of traps and pitfails that whichever way he moves he is sure in the end to go down. Thus stood the fight yesterday. Twenty-four hours may bring a material change. It is a time ol nensaclons. Kelly’s may be the last and great- eat, The Mayor's Latest. To THE EpiTor oF THE HERAL \ ‘The latest act in the burlesque of “political reiorm’’ is Mayor Havemeyer’s letter addressed to Mr. Jonn Kelly. In reading this extraordinary paper the public should keep in mind the motive which prompted it and the ends its reputed au- thor seeks. Revenge was the inspiration, and rage over the spectacle of his own blasted charac- ter was the fit accompaniment of an act which must inevitably cover the old gentleman with Jurther disgrace, The righteous revolution which took place in this city in 1871 against organized robbers then In | power was simply so spontaneous and majestic | that party lines were swept away and the cry of | “Reform” was shouted by a million peopie. Seventy gentlemen organized themselves into a commit- tee, and Mr. Havemeyer became their candidate for Mayor, The fact that he neaded the reform ticket secured his election. When a younger man he had served the city in the same position with- out discredit, But his character had two sides, The fair one had been seen, but the other was to be “ended foul in many a scaly fold.’ At his entrance into office, two | years ago, the Committee o! Seventy was a power; he killed it ‘tas dead as a door nail” in six months. | There was & piebaid democrat like himseis wao | had stormed the citadel of bis senile atections and carried him off @ willing, or at all events a snb- missive captive. This man became ‘the power be- hind the throne, greater than the throne itsel/."” By the ascendant of superior craft Oliver Charlick not only led the Mayor aside from the reform to and devious ways of What 1s known in a neighbor+ Ing State as ‘addition, division and silence.” It may be said that the Mayor nas oniy conoived at the street cleaning, tue charity and correction and other municipal scandals that have grown up thick and rank around him during his administra- tion. But he has honeycombed many of the ave- nues of profit with his own reiatives and iriends, and he has turned a deaf ear to every branch of | the government, legislative and municipal, which | has exposed those great wrongs and demanded j Mr. Havemeyer’s interposition to prevent them. By his course he has achieved the unprecedented distinction of being the nrst Mayor in the history oc New York who hasn't @ single iriend to sustain him, save the creatures of his offictai bounty, and the first one ever execrated by every political party and every party leader, without a single ex- ception, Democrats and repuolicans, reformers Threatened Arrest—The Syra- ie j rule over this ¢ | should end in their taking a trip to Biackwe \ | had not darkened the arena of political discussion, | | The interview between Mr. | Wednesday for Queenstown ana Liverpool. | room, of the sumptionsly fitted up par- | lors occupied by the great Tammany magnate.
