William G. Fisher, of Denver. Expires
Very Suddenly In n New
York Hotel,

New York. April 7.-William G. Fisher.

Mr.. Fisher had come East to buy goods,

Fisher reached the hotel, and, feeling tired.
he retired directly after dining. Mr. Houtz
who knew of Mr.. Fishers weakness. occu-
pied a room near by where he would be
called in if he was needed.
Just before . o'clock this morning Mr..
Fishers limbs began to pain him. and.
crawling out of bed he touched the electric
button and summoned a bell boy to his
room. To the boy he said that he was suf-
fering intense pain. and after he had been
helped back into bed he told the boy to
hurry and notify Mr.. HoutZ. The latter
went to the aid of Mr. Fisher. and asked
him how he felt. He said: My legs hurt
and said no more. Mr. Houtz hurried out
and summoned physician. but when the
latter reached the bedside of Mr.. Fisher.
the patient was dead. Mr.. Fishers broth
er, Rev. John Fisher, who is pastor of a
Presbyterian church in Newark. n. j.. has
been notified of his death. The remains

DECLARES THE WAR IS OVER.
Secretary of the Spanish Legation at
Washington Talks of the Gu
ban InSurrectiOn.

Washington, April 1.-Senor Don Juan du
Bcsc, first secretary of the Spanish lega-
ton, was seen at the legation to-day and
asked to the status of affairs in Cuba.
He said the reports received from the ISL
and We're uniformly favorable to the gov
ernment, and were so marked IN this re-
srect that the legation felt that the insur-
rection was fast approaching the point of
dissolution.
In proof of this assertion. Mr. Du Bose
turned to Havana papers just received and
pointed out significant passages. He called
attention 10 the Diario De La Marina of
March 81, which gives a letter from its
correspondent. Don Fernandez Gomez, from
Las Villas. The letter says the insurrection
has lost all its gravity. 1t has even lost its
Importance. Mr.. Gomez wrote. from mill
and western provinces of the island. In the
district of CienfuegoS the sugar crop of this
year. he writes. will be three times that of
last year.
This information rs to the sugar crop is
of exceptional Importance" proceeded Mr..
Du Bose. land it corroborates our own in
formation. The latest reports reaching US
show that the total product for this wear Is
Sl.GiS tons. as against 66.loi tons in the
corresponding period of last year. a gain of
1856 tons. This covers only the early part
of the product, and the gain promises to
be the same for the balance of the sugar
season. making a most important aggregate
of gain for the year"
Mr.. Du Bose said that IN view of this in
formation the reports attributed to Mr..
Dupuy de LONE that Spain was about to
evacuate the island must be taken in a
Pickwickian sense.
