MAY SAVE RIVERA
Secretary Sherman Has Given
the Spanish Minister q
Strong, Hint
That His Execution Will Not
Improve Spain's Cause in
America.
Great Britain Steadily Pushes
Preparations For a Fight
in South Africa.

CHICAGO, April -5 The Times Her
AIDS Washington special says: Secre-
tary Sherman has protested against the
execution of General Ruiz Rivera, the
Cuban leader in Pinar del Rio, who
was rec emily captured by the Spanish
forces.
President Mckinley and Secretary
Sherman discussed the Rivera case,
and the latter, at the presidents sug-
gestion, communicated with Senior De
LONE, the Spanish minister.
Secretory Sherman will not make a
formal protest against the execution of
Rivera. At the same time, Secretary
Sherman wanted the Spanish minister
and his government to understand that
the execution of Rivera would not
tend to promote good feeling for Spain
in this country. Already public opin.
ion was much exercised over. the
threat to shoot the prisoner, and if
, that threat were carried into execution
the Indignation throughout the United
States might be so great as to embar-
rass the government.
1t is not doubted that Senior De
LONE communicated the subject Of
this informal protest to his government,
and there are reasons for believing that
the Spanish government will cable or.
ders to Havana which will save Ri.
vera's life.

Grafton in q former congress the Patter-
son bill, which was very similar TO the
bill have Introduced.
1.-The recent decision Of the supreme
court has brought about condition
which calls for immediate action, and
it is not only necessary that legislation
should be enacted, but that it should
be done promptly. am convinced that
real prosperity cannot be brought about
or made permanent until there has been
legislation on this subject.
mot only is it imperative that there
should be stability Of freight rates, 80
that business men can know what they
will be called upon to pay for the ship
ment of goods, but it is also imperative
that the railroads should be assured
protection from ruinous rate wars, and
from the present uncertainty, which
will prevent them from placing orders
for new material for the maintenance
of their present systems, or for their
extension.
The question OF whether there is to
be prosperity or depression in great
many lines Of business is, therefore, de.
pendent upon the action of congress in
regard to this matter.
II have talked with members of the
committee and with other senat ors, in.
dividually, and believe the outlook
for the passage of the bill l have intro.
duced, is favorable"

Preparations
LONDON, April 5.-The preparations
against eventualities in the Transvaal
are being steadily pushed forward. A
representative of the Associated Press
has learned from war office sources
that a general to command the British
forces has been selected and has been
asked to prepare a-plan for the cam.
paign against the Beers, including the
number and description Of the
troops of different branches of
the service, etc., which he judges
will be necessary to bring the military
operations to successful conclusion.
This general, who is familiar with AT.
rican fighting, has replied that 10000
British regulars will be sufficient, as he
counts on the 40, 600 troops, white and
black, which are already there, while
he does not consider the Beers, even if
able to do so, will put 10000 armed
men in the field, and one-half Of these
he believes will be required to guard
the towns, forts, etc.
