Sherman wanted the Spanish minister

IL Is not doubted that Senior DE LONE
communicated the substance OF this

and there are reasons for believing
that the Spanish authorities will ca ble

Rivera's life.
HAVANA, April 5.-Acting Captain
General Ahumada has received orders
from Minister Of War Azcarraga at
Madrid not to try General Ruis Rivera

minister thinks that a court

an unusually bright mind. which with

tions while they were really seeking to
solve the problem of the Niger. The
only result of these Investigations was
q fresh crop Of theories. One
of them conjectured that the Niger
reached the Atlantic. and each one had
an opinion of his own. All these spec
ulations were duly recorded ON the
maps, and the photographic d~elineation
of the Niger from 1871 to 1882 is some
thing wonderful to contemplate. It
would seem to be a simple matter to
keen to the river, when once It was
reached. and follow It to its destina-
ton; but that was the very thing the
explorers were unable to do. But It
was the German geographer Reichard,
in his library at home. who solved
the Niger riddle, some fifteen years be-
fore the Lander brothers In 1882 proved
his assertion true. Everybody knew
of the numerous little rivers emptying
into the Gulf of Benin. and they were
supposed to be independent streams of
small importance. But Reichard said
that the long stretch Of coast where
these streams reached the ocean was
the sea front of a great delta, and that
tie Oil rivers were nothing but the
subdivisions Of the mighty Niger. That
was true, and we know now that the
Niger delta Is the largest In Africa.
