AND WON'T GIVE PERMISSION
TO REMOVE DEAD FROM
THE FIELD,
Brave Gen. Rivera Must Die. But
This Does Not Make The Gu
hans Feel DOwnhearted, On
ly Gives Them More
Cause To Fight.

New York, April IA Havana spe-
cial to the World says:
Gen. Rivera will probably be shot
soon, as Gen. Weyler has given orders
that he be tried by court martial on
the spot Immediately. He may be put
to death in spite of his wounds or the
Spanish may cure them and then
shoot him.
The certain execution of this brave,
wounded prisoner of war has excited
Indignation and disgust throughout.
No other alleged civilized nation is
capable of such an act.
Col. BacallaO, who tried to carry off
his wounded commander on his back,
although wounded, will die with him.
1t is predicted that these executions
will provoke General Gomez to shoot
all Spanish prisoners instead of re-
turning them.
The Cubans are not disheartened at
the loss of Gen. Rivera. They say
Gen. Roloff is in Pinar Del Rio and
will become second in command of
the whole army. Insurgents in great
numbers are coming from the east
and concentrating in Havana pro
vince. They have plenty of ammuni-
ton and good cavalry. ',.
The World courier from Santa
Clara reports seeing one column of
1000 we'll mounted, well armed insur-
gents passing west toward Matanzas.
This same courier says a very large
expedition has landed near Remedies
and that most of the arms are for the
western provinces.
Gen. Weyler remains in Cienfuegos.
He is better, but still sick, and doing
nOIAIng effective against the insur-
gents.
Permission is asked for Mr.. Mar
riott, a colleague of Mr.. Crosby, the
correspondent of the Chicago Record,
killed in the field, to go and secure the
body and effects, which has been re-
fused by the authorities. Minister De
LONE wired the request and Gen. Lee
seconded it. Mr.. Marriott took Gen.
Lees letter to the palace, but General
Ahumada refused to see him saying
that the request could not be granted.

TRAINS TIED UP.

Snow in Nebraska Brings Traffic to
- Standstill.
Omaha, Neb,, April 1.-The severest
blizzard of the entire winter has pre-
vailed for the last SO hours in West
ern Nebraska and adjacent territory
and has completely stopped all traffic
on three Omaha roads, the Burling-
ton, the Union Pacific and the Rock
Island, III that section. The Interrupt
ton to train service and the best
means of getting trains through, en-
gagged the entire attention of the Off
cials at the Union Pacific headquar-
tiers. tN5
Throughout the Union Pacific sys-
TEN the storm extended along all the
lines in Colorado, Wyoming and Kan
sas. The only part of the system on
which trains were moved was between
Omaha and Sidney, Neb. The over
land limited is snow bound at Hills
dale, Wyo., 20 miles east of Chey-
enne The fast mail is lying helpless
in a snow drift near Sidney, this state.
The passengers in the snow bound
trains are suffering no discomfort,
one of the first orders going from
headquarters being that the passen-
gers should be well looked after and
that no expenses be spared to make
them as comfortable as possible I'M
der the circumstances.
The weather reports of the Burling-
ton and Missouri lines show great
depths of snow in Wyoming, Colora-
do and South Dakota. Belmont re-
ported six inches, Ardmore , inches,
Custer. 3. Deadwood II, Gillette 8 and
HolyOke 4 inches. Most of the points
in the northern mart of Nebraska re-
norted heavy rains with the weather
GROWING. colder. Great piles of snow
cover the plains of Western Nebras-
In. It is feet deep in many places.
The mercury is above zero, but very
high wind prevails. In the eastern
part of the state heavy rains have
falIen during the last 4S hours. All
the streams are bank full and the
danger of flood is increasing hourly.

THE TRAFFIC. ASSOCIATION.

Railroads Will Stand BY The Old
Rates Without Organization.
New York, April 1.-The Tribune
this MORNING says:
There is no sign of an outbreak of
rate cutting among railroads as re-
suit of the United States Supreme
court decision in the Trans-Missouri
Freight association case.
C. d. Simpson, general freight agent
of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe railroad, said last night: ...
Il have been trying today to find
out if rate cutting had been done east
or west and have failed absolutely to
locate a single instance. have re-
ceived explicit instructions not to- dew
late from the published tariff rate, no
matter what our competitors may do.
1t is my opinion that, notwithstand-
ing the dissolution of the association,
rates will be maintained, but if they
are reduced, it will be secretly, but
not by open tariff. The best test of
the maintenance of rates is that we
StlllhS AT luli
i'll rate that we would not have OBJ
tanned if shippers had saw any chance
of rate decentralization"
VIM. II. Clark, general freight agent
of the Nassau River railroad, says:
"The Supreme court decision makes
it illegal for railroads TO associate to-
gether for the purpose of maintaining
rates, which is construed to mean a
restraint of traffic. Therefore, having
withdraw from such an association,
it would be just as illegal for them to
enter into any combination for the
decentralization of rates because that
would mean to make any rate neces-
cary under the circumstances, regard
less of published tariff. Railroad COM
panies all realize the importance of
any war of rates at the present time
without the transacting influence of
a proper association to help them to
recover their normal condition would
mean dire disaster, not only to the
revenue, but to the personel of the
lines. Therefore there is not the
slightest prospect of any rate demon
alization at present"
Representatives of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul and the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy railroads said
they had instructions from headquar-
tiers to maintain rates.

A CROOKED COON.
He as Short in His Accounts and
Gets Fired.


Baltimore, Nd, April Mayor
Hooper has removed from office DR..
George w. Bryant. cOlored, superin-
tendent of the middle district of the
street cleaning department. Bryant
confessed that he had Systematically
robbed both the CITY and men in his
employ. The amount of his shortage
is not yet known. but it is estimated
that the city will temporarily lose
about $1,000. The Seventy-five col
ored men who constitute the middle
district street cleaning brigade have
lost between $500 and $4,000. The
city's loss is covered by a bond.
Bryant's REGULATIONS have been GO
ing on for several months. He mani
pulated the pay rolls against the city
and used all sorts of schemes to hold
out a portion of the money due his
employees. He can be indicted for
for both perjury and false pretence.
Bryant was one of the best known
,cOlored men in the city. ,
He is a graduate physician and a
man of considerable ability. He has
long been prominent in Republican
political circles. and during the last
campaign he stumped the state for the
Republican ticket.
He was an applicant for the posi-
ton of commissioner of deeds for the
District of Columbia under Mckinley.

New Orleans, April Up to the

the line of the Louisiana levees is in
tact, but the strain against them is
such that a break at any moment is
feared at almost any point, Great
danger below the city is due to the
wave wash, caused by passing steam

the shore to avoid the swift current
and the drift and the governor and
mayor have issued prOclamations call
ing on them to Keep to the middle of
the stream and run under slow bells.
The heavy rain and the wind of the
past two days is still continuing and
has soaked the levees and the people
who are behind them are, growing in
dignant at the heedlessness of the pi-
lots and are. talking of using arms to
compel them to keep to the middle
of the river.
