MEXICO.
Death Sentence Passed on COrtIna.

Matamoras, March o.-Not withstand
ing the telegraphic order received yester'
day from President Diaz, to send Gener-
al Cortina to the City of Mexico, the
Military Court last night at 10 o'clock
pronounced sentence Of death on him.
His counsel published a protest to day
against the sentence, declaring it illegal,
as it was pronounced ten hours after the
receipt of the order Of the Chief Execu:
tive of the Nation to transfer the accused
and the proceedings in his case to the
Capital. Cortina's organ declared to-
day that the pretense Of sending him to
the City of Mexico is merely to have an
opportunity to shoot him on the way
under the plot that he attempted to es-
cape. 1t is not known that General Can
ais has telegraphed that he will obey the
order to send Cortina to Mexico, and tits
believed that Cortina will be started on
his way to the Capital under strong
escort, but that it is doubtful if he reach
es his destination.

NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Result of the Election in the First
District in Doubt.

Concord, N. H., March 14.-The vote
of the State by counties in all but "a
towns, shows that Prescott's majority
will be 5000 strong. If the remaining
towns are the same as last year, the ag-
gregate vote of the State will be over
$1,000.
The result in the First Congressional
district is so close that it will require the
official returns to determine the result.
All but seven towns give Marston 1885;
Jones 1887. The seven towns not
heard from gave Cheney (Rep.) 1858 ;
Marcy (Dem.) 973 last year, which, if re-
turned the same as last Spring Marston
will lead Jones 3S.
AS far as returned, the House stands
2O5 Republicans and 14O Democrats.
The Republican majority will be some
what reduced by towns yet to be heard
from. The Senate stands 8 Republicans
to Democrats, and the Council 4 Re-
publicans to Democrat.
