SOLEMN PROMISE.
It Was Made to Spain by Julio San
gully.

.
Washington, April 3.-Secretary
Sherman made a statement today of
Importance to Americans who are act
i've in Cuban matters. When asked
about the reported intention of Julio
Sanguilly, who had arrived at Jackson
vile with aides TO go to Cuba, he re-
piled:
Il don't believe he will 60 If he
should be so foolish he will have to take
his life into his own hands. We should
never interfere III his behalf again. but
would have to let things take their
course. I have his written pledge not
to take an active part in the insurrec-
ton in any way. So has Spain, and
they could kill him without ceremony.
No, L think he would not be such a
fool"
The pledge referred to was made by
Sanguilly in January, just before his
pardon by the queen regent of Spain,
and was signed voluntarily in Spanish
and English and handed to Consul Cen
eral Lee. The Spanish copy went to
the Spanish authorities and the one in
English, now on Secretary Sherman's
desk, is as follows:
Affirmation of Julio Sanguilly.
q, Julio Sanguilly, an American citi-
zen confined at Cabanas fortress, Ha-
vana, do hereby sacredly affirm to the
United States and to Spain that if I
am released by pardon of the latter
government, 7 will leave and remain
away from Cuba and will not aid, di-
rectly or indirectly, the present insur-
rection against the government of
Spain, and / hereby promise that should
] do so at any time, l will not claim
the protection of the United States
government. I certify that this pledge
is given of my own free will and with
out compulsion on the part OF any one.

THE MARINE ENGINEER.
An Officer With Vast responsibilities
Who Seldom Gets Credit.

Pail Mall Gazette: From the time,
less than 60 years ago, when the first
steam vessel crossed the Atlantic the
evolution of the marine engineer has
been rapid, but he is the one class of
marine craftsman, that. above all
others, has kent pace with the devel-
opments of this fast speeding age, and
he stands today the most finished prod
uct of century that has created more
new types and more new occupations
than any that has preceded it. The
marine engineer today is more impor
tant than any deck officer, but his i'm
portance is as little recognized by the
on-seafaring man as his identity is
concealed from the view Of those who
travel in ships. Down in the bowels
of the vessel he controls not only the
propulsion but the steering, lighting,
pumping. anchoring, ventilation Of the
modern structure, and on the warship
he is even responsible for the manip-
ulation of heavy guns. The eyes that

Hnntinr For a Match.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 1.-Two New
York state clubs want to match Den
yer Ed Smith and Frank Slavin. The
Empire Athletic club of Buffalo yester-
day wired Smiths managers here offer
ing so per cert of the receipts, provided
the first $500 taken is deducted by the
club for club expenses. The Rochester
club offer is similar. Buck Connolly
conferred with Smith over the phone
and as a result the offers were re-
fused.
The managers of Maher say they are
convinced that Tom O'Rourke of the
broadway Athletic club of New York
is trying underhand methods to get
the Maher- Sharkey fight for a $4,000
purse, when $4,000 is offered by two
New York City clubs. Buck Connolly
saws "O'Rourke can get the match if
he puts UP $4,000 and not a cent less"

That 1t Has Been Decided Is
Denied.
NAY BE TREATED WELL
MAY BE SHOT ALMOST AT ANY
TIME.
Solemn Promise Alleged to Have
Been Made by Julio Sanguilly to
the Spanish Government-The At
frmation Said to Have Been
Signed by Him-Other Cuban
Chatter.

New York, April ga dispatch to the
Herald from Havana, via Key West,
says:
AS a Spanish column does not usually
move at night, and as Rivera was at
tackled at o'clock in the morning, the
story is circulated here that Rivera
was really in an insurgent hospital
guarded bv 100 men when taken, and
had been wounded days before.
Gonzalo Jorrin is indignant over the
rumors that he gave information about
Rivera's camp.
There is no news yet of a definite ma
ture about the fate to be decreed for
Rivera. The Marquis de Palmerola
has gone to Cienfuegos to see General
Weyler. It is believed that he will
urge that Rivera, be treated as a pris-
oner of war. for the purpose of max
ing a good impression concerning Span
ish methods in Cuba.
A regard for the impression created
in the United States will have much to
do with the decision in Rivera's case.
1t is said also that there is talk of
sparing Rivera's life if his followers
will surrender. Such a proposition will
not be entertained.
Ducasse engaged Spanish column
at Brunjon yesterday. 1t is said the
rebels killed a Spanish colonel, Perez
Blanco. and won a victory. There is
nothing to warrant the belief that Du-
casse and others would surrender to
save Rivera's life. 1t is now thought
that he will not be shot soon, if at all.
Consul General Lee sent a request to
the Marquis de Ahumada to allow an
American to go and get the effects of
c. E. Crosby, and learn the facts as to
his death for his relatives. He asked
that the messenger be afforded facili-
ties. No reply has been received yet,
but the messenger started last night
without assurances of protection. Cen
eral Lee will repeat his request.
In justice TO General Lee it should
be said that he properly investigated
the case of Montero, the American re-
leased on March 26, and his liberation
was due TO the fact that the consul
general acted as soon as he learned that
the prisoner was an American.

Especial to The Heraldl


Cheyenne, April 3.-Yesterday's predic-
lions were verified tonight when the
Horse Creek stage driver brought in
word that the searching party sent to
look for the four ranchmen who left their
teams and who were supposed to have
persisted in Tuesday or Wednesday S
blizzard, had found the dead bodies of
two men. who are supposed to be brothers
named Jackson
The coroner started for the scene, but
was forced to return, owing to the
great depth of the snow. 1t is now GER
tain that two of the companions of the
men found today have also persisted, and
that the searching party which is riding
the prairies will find their frozen bodies.
John Lucino. one of Senator Warrens
sheep herders, is also missing. During
the blizzard he went from camp to the
corral, a few yards distant, and probably
became bewildered in the storm and
wandered away and persisted. Fears are
entertained among the cattle and sheep
owners here that when the snow melts
in the canyons and gulcheS thousands of
head of cattle and sheep will be found.

ONCE AGAIN.
Another Bluff Made by Bloody
Butcher Weyler.

New York. April A special cable
to the Journal from Havana says:
Weyler's proclamation announcing
the paciflcation of Cuba is known to be
already in the government printing Of
flee here. 1t only awaits telegraphic
approval from Madrid to be formally
issued. Its object is believed to be to
rnislead Washington, and prevent I'M
friendly action by congress. For. a
month or more small squads of Span
ish infantry, listed as convalescentS,
have been quietly embarked from Ha-
vana and other Cuban ports by regular
passenger steamers for Puerto Rico and
the Canary islands, whence they are
transferred to transports bound for the
Philippines.
AS fast as interior Cuban posts are
abandoned, Weyler's men are brought
to Havana to await shipment. 1t is
expected that $4,000 men will be en-
barked in the next fortnight.
Private intelligence from Cuban
camps in Sancti Spiritus and Puerto
Principe province. coming through Gu
bans of prominence here, give another
important reason for Weyler's decree,
saying that Gomez and the rebel gov
eminent have again been approached
by the captain-generaPs emissaries
with fresh overtures for peace on a

under an American guarantee, the
Spanish flag to remain until indemnity
is fully paid
The Cubans positively refused to
listen to any proposition, however IA
vorable, unless Spain first withdrew
the great bulk of her troops from the
island and then acknowledged virtual
truce by retiring her remaining forces
from the field to the fortified coast
towns.
At VIEWERS recent conference in
Cienfuegos with ex-ipsurgent leaders
of influence. these are understood to
have laid before him Gomez ulti-
alum.
Here in Havana Spanish merchants
and Cuban planters loyal to Spain
with property at stake and fearing TO
become victims of the revolutionary
success, regard Weyler's decree as a
farce and convinced of the futility of
Spain's efforts to crush the revolt by
such ridiculous proclamations, are now
in favor of annexation to
the United States.
The wanton destruction of American
property by Spanish troops continues
the island. Near Madruga
yesterday Colonel Moncada, command
ing the regular government forces, set
fire to the great sugar plantation Ca
owned by AndreaS Terry, an
American citizen now in Paris, de-
buildings as well as cane
fields. Losses are estimated at half a
million dollars

The Rise in the Missouri.

Sioux City, April S.-The rise in the
Missouri river by the backing UP of
tributary streams is again making trouble
near here. Local officials of the Omaha
and Milwaukee roads were notified today
that washouts are occurring everywhere
and bridges and culvertS constantly go
ing out. On the Milwaukee cornmunica-
ton between Sioux City and Mitchell is
at an end, the track between Wester-
field and ElkDoint is missing and all re-
pairs made since the recent floods de-
Stroyed.
Nebraska agents of the Pacific Short
Line report their track a Quagmire and
all streams bankfull or overlooking.
From the southern par of the country it
is announced the Little Sioux is again
flooding the bottoms. The Floyd is bank
full and threatens to repeat the mischief
of fortnight ago in Sioux City.

schock Is in the Lead.

Washington, April 3.-The six-day BIZ
cycle rLce closed at 10 o'clock tonignt,
with the relative positions of the lead
ers comparatively unchanged for the
last day. Schock, who finished in front,
had 1.67G miles to his credit, which is
24O miles below the record made by
Hale at Madison Square Garden, n. Y,
early in the season. Albert captured
second money with a total of 1615
miles, while Golden had but five miles
less. Lawson who came in fourth, and
Sassidy the next man, each covered
more than 1,5O0 miles and will share
in the gate money.
A delegation of Elks early in the
evening presented Schock. who is
member of that order. with a floral
ladder, some six feet long and he was
loudly cheered as he walked around
the track two or three times with the
emblem over his shoulder. He returned
to the track before the race was ended
and again received the plaudits of the
crowd by Keeling off anew miles very
