THE STATUS OF RIVERA.
De Lone Rather Thinks He VIII Not
lie Shot

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April S.-Advices
received by the Spanish Minister here
state that General Luis Rivera. who is
INinS wounded near Habana. IS not in a
serious condition. Inquiry as TO the status
OF the prisoner resulted to-day in a state
ment by the Minister TO the effect that
at no time has the Spanish Government,
or General Weyler, had an idea Of shoot
ing Rivera. Ii was added that IL would
certainly not have been in order 10 eX-
press any such opinion. whatever the be-
lief might have been, in view Of the fact
that Rivera has not yet been tried. much
less sentenced TO be shot. For the same
reason. 1t can hardly be asserted that
General Rivera's future is absolutely as
sureA.
When questioned on this latter point
the Minister said he was inclined to
the belief that the man would not be
shot. but showed that much depended
upon the conduct of Cuban sympathizers
in the United States. He declined to say
whether his reference was 10 the conduct
Of General Sanguily, who is now under
arrest on suspicion Of aiding another fill
clustering expedition. or TO the proceedings
in the Senate which might be regarded
as tending TO inhame bad feeling II was
eveidont however that Senor de LONE
felt that Sanguilly. in breaking his parole
as he claimed, was not strengthening the
argument that the Spanish forces in Cuba
should be held TO a strict observance Of
the rules Of war.
The Minister has received word that
1900 insurgents in the Philippines have Of
fered TO surrender.
MELTONS HEALTH IMPROVED.

EXCITEMENT At FRANKFORT.
Hunter at One Time Apparently
within One Vote of Election.

FRANKFORT, KY. April s.-When the
roll was called in the joint legislative ses-
sion to-day the silver Democrats declined
to answer to their names. hoping that
with the assistance of the bolting Repub
licans they would be able to break a
quorum. In this they were unsuccessful,
the god Democrats answering with the
Hunterites I'm order to force the balloting.
The roll-call showed seventy-one present
one more than necessary TO constitute
quorum Unable TO prevent a ballot, the
silver men voted for Blackburn when the
ballot was ordered, while the gold Demo
Gratis voted for the compromise candidate,
Henry l. Martin.
All but the paired members voted.
There were no significant changes, and
the vote stood: Hunter. 81; Blackburn,
a: Martin, 1S; Boyle, Z; Stone, l. Neces-
sary to a choice. s..
on motion OF Representative Howard
Republican,, no one was allowed near the
Clerks desk during the ballot-not even
the Sergeant-at-Arms or the Doorkeeper-
for fear that something might be done
In case Hunter should be elected that
would cause trouble.
When President Worthington first an
nounced the vote he gave Boyle nine
votes, when he had only received seven.
This occasioned stampede. and for
time ii looked as If there might be trou
Bile. 1t was finally found that IL was
purely clerical error, and a recapitula-
ton of the vote was had. A motion
was made to adjourn. and a second bal
lot was ordered by President Worthing-
ton. The excitement was intense at all
times. and when during the first ballot
1t looked as If one vote would elect DR..
Hunter, there were a dozen men around
Senator Siege. endeavoring TO get him 10
cast the deciding vote. Mr.. Siege, how
ever, voted for Boyle.
There was no change on the second
ballot, with the exception that Hunter
received 60, instead of 81, and Martin r.
instead of 13. owing to pair The Cen
eral Assembly then adjourned, without
dissenting vote.

is now generally conceded that on.y some
