Chosen Advisers.
Washington, March 8.-The swearing
in Of all the members Of the cabinet ex-
cept Mr.. Gage, secretary Of the treas
Try, in o body at the white house Satur-
day. was q pleasant departure from the
usual routine in connection with q
change Of administration. Heretofore
1t has been the custom to administer the
oath of Office to the new secretaries at
their respective departments, generally
by the chief justice of the supreme
court Of the United States, but the coin
cident presence Of the members of the
court and of the cabinet at the executive
mansion made the unusual incident not
only possible, but highly approprite.

Gage, had assembled in the cabinet
room at 10:3O for consultation with
the president. They were thus engaged
when the presence of the chief Justice
and associate justices accompanied by
Reporter Davis, Clerk Mckinney, and
Marshal Wright in the blueroom below

promptly came downstairs and received
the congratulations of his distinguished
visitors. #ss IT, r.

to the congratulations of his visitors
and after few minutes spent in general
conversation, he said the members of
the cabinet were upstairs and if it was
agreeable to the members of the court
he would like to present them. The
justices were glad Of the opportunity
to meet the cabinet officers under these
auspices and they were invited into the
biueroom. The introductions having
been made, Chief Justice Fuller sug-
gested that the members of the cabinet
might be sworn in then and there, which
suggestion was instantly accepted.
The commissions and oaths of office had
been prepared and were in the office of
Secretary Porter. Ills T.
They were brought down. together
with two tables, inkstands and pens,

BREACH IS HEALED.
KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE WILL
ELECT A SENATOR TODAY.
DR.. w. J. Deboe Nominated in
Caucus Held Last Nights Fifty
Years of Age and a Native of the
Blue Grass State.

Frankfort, KY, April 23.-The breach
in the Republican ranks was healed
tonight, when the Republican commit
tee, after a long and stormy session,
nominated DR.. w. ]. Deboe as the Re
publican choice for United States SEN
ator
Tonight, there is every reason to be-
lieve that he viii elected by the
state legislature tomorrow. The NOM
ination of Deboe was brought about
by Governor Bradley and the five Re
publicans who bolted after Hunter was
declared the caucus nominee. Bradley
played a waiting game. When the
Hunter contingentS finally had been
brought together in the support of
Dehoe, the boilers swung into line, cast
their solid vote for him. carrying the
nomination, and moment later Dehoe
was unanimously declared the nominee
of the caucus.
Amid the widest scene that followed
the nominee was brought before the
caucus, and made a strong speech of
thanks. Holt, who after the with
draWal CT DR.. Hunter became Deboe'S
leading opponent, also made felicitous
speech.
W. ]. Deboe, the nominee. is about so
years of age, native of Crittenden
county. where he was a practicing
county physician for a number of
years. His first political prominence
was his election to the state senate four
years ago. He is still member of the
state senate.
All interest during the day had cen
tered in tonight's caucus. as the ballot
ing in today's joint session was purely
a formal one, owing to the lack of a
quorum. On the first ballot tonight
Deboe had 81 ballots and Holt Is. Evans

as when Deboe got 81 votes they did
not come to him and nominate him.
On the next ballot. Baird voted for
Debce and gave him 80.
The next ballot was the same
The balloting then proceeded without
any material change until the twenty
fifth ballot, when ii was agreed that
the hindmost man on each succeeding
ballot should be dropped.
This action. which was taken on the
motion of the boilers, soon brought
matters to an issue. and on the thirty
eighth ballot the boilers swung into line
for Deboe and effected his nomination.
Baird, the gold Democrat. participated
IN the caucus and will undoubtedly vote
FOR the nominee tomorrow

Memphis. Tenn, April 23.-No new
crevasses have appeared in the levee
today, but the current of the river is
still beating against the southern en-
bankments with a fury that causes the
gravest apprehensions. The break at
Delta has inundated $4,000 acres of the
finest plantations in northern Louisiana
and the water continues to pour
through the opening and is rapidly
spreading over a greater area.
Reports from Greenville are not en-
couraSing. While the water is slowly
receding in the overflowed districts of
the Yazoo delta, yet it is almost GER
tain that the planting of this years
crop will be 30 days late. The negro
laborers are in a fearful state of desti-
tuition throughout the delta, although
the government relief work is being
carried on energetically. The situation
north of Memphis and in Arkansas.
however, has greatly improved. Capt.
Davis, the government purchasing Off
Ger here, will send out two boats loaded
with provisions tomorrow, one going
north and the other to the St Francis
river country. Captain Davis states
that this will be the last government
shipment to these districts unless some
new emergency arises.
Many people are returning to their
farms in Arkansas and the work of
planting will begin shortly.

Washington, April 2S.-The house to-
day completed the consideration OF the
senate amendments to the Indian ap-
preparation bill and sent the bill TO
conference.
The main contention. as on yester-
day. centered about the senate PROPOSE
ton to open the Uncompaghre Indian
reservation under the mineral land
laws.
Finally an amendment was recon-
mended to the effect that no corpora
ton should be allowed TO obtain pos
session of these gilsOnite deposits, but
that the government should lease the
lands in the limited areas and for linn
tied terms of years.
The senate amendment striking from
the house bill the provision for the rat
ificatiOn of the oil and gas leases made
by the council of the Seneca Indians
last December after a sharp debate
was disagreed to. Mr.. Bland of Mis-
souri, attempted early in the session to
secure action on the resolution relative
to the Union Pacific railroad mortgage,
which he tried to offer last week. but
the speaker ruled that the resolution
was not privileged. \ resolution was
adopted by which a committee of %
was appointed 10 attend the dedication
of the Grant tomb in New York on
Tuesday and the house agreed to a

The correspondent of the Chronicle
says:

tor Chandler to privileges and cleo
tons, and Senator Hansbrough to the
public lands, and Senator Shoup TO the
territories.

New York, April "a letter to the
World from Havana, dated April IA.
says:
General Weyler has put down his last
card here and lost. His commission
has reported to him that General Co
mez will not receive it. The members
are Seniors Marcos Garcia of Sancti
Spiritus; Sportune of Trinidad, and
Fernandez of Cienfuegos.
They sought to carry to the rebel
chieftain a message that If he would
end the war. Spain would grant the
most perfect autonomy to Cuba under
the safest guarantees. General Gomez
sent word that they could not enter mis-
camp-his sole exchange for peace was
liberty and independence.
The World courier saw General Wey-
Ter on the deck of the steamer ar Tu-
mas last Monday night ordering the
Garcia civil to clear the pier OF the
crowd awaiting to take the road. The
soldiers dubbed the people with guns
but the crowd did not move fast
enough to suit the general. He swore
fearfully. calling the people vile names
and finally sent Escribano, his chief of
staff, TO make the people go away.
With a club he laid about him, knock
ing down several of the quietest and
most influential citizens of the district.
Petro Lopez, a cattle shipper, was
knocked down a hatchway by one of
Weyler's lieutenants. Weyler went to
Jucaro, returning at a. m. He refused
to go in the cars to Sancti Spiritus, but
went on horseback, guarded by LOO
men. AS he passed along he withdrew
soldiers from the forts protecting the

leaders were camped near Sanci Spir-
titus. Their location was well known,
but Weyler made no effort to attack
them.

Signs that Spain is hard pushed are
becoming more and more manifest.

London, April 23.-The Greek charge

Greek Gunners' Good Aim.

Athens, April 24-1:9O a. m.-The
western squadron which bombarded
Santa Quaranta left Corfu Yesterday
morning (Friday.) Immediately on ar
irving at the Bav of Santa Quaranta.
the line of battle was taken up. the
warships spreading out in fan shane
with the torpedo boats occupying the
outlying points with the advantage OF
fire.
The cannonade opened in the liveliest
fashion, and continued at high pres
sure for two hours. The great destruct-
iveness of the shells was soon observed
in the dismantling of buildings in
every direction. while flames burst out
IN many places.
The fire Of the Greek gunners was
excellent and there was no waste OF
ammunition.

Upset His Plans.

Washington, April 2S.-The selection
of Judge Day to be first assistant sec
rotary of state overturns the plan of
the president 10 send him to Cuba as
special counsel to watch the prosecu-
ton of the Ruiz investigation. 1t
would be without precedent for such
an official as the first assistant secre-
tary of state to go to another country
to prosecute a case when later on he
might have TO engage in diplomatic
negotiations with that same country
on other subjects. At any rate, the
conviction that the pursuit OF the orig
inal mission by Judge Day would i'm
pair his usefulness in the future as an
official of the state department has led
to the cancellation of the order to go TO
Cuba.
Whether anyone will be appointed to
take up the work of special counsel
laid by the judge cannot be learned.

At Milouna Pass.

London. April pa dispatch to the
Times from Milouna Pass dated TODAY
says:
Edhem Pasha continues TO pursue
cautious policy. His plan seems to be
to capture in succession a number of
small positions held by the Greeks but
to avoid a general engagement. The
Turks are making a good military road
through the pass. The cannonade con-
tirues from the Turks who are ad-
vancing on the left wing. but in the
direction of Tyrnavo matters are quiet,
The Turks having taken and occupied
the town. Large Ieinforcements are
arriving and the result of the war is
beyond doubt. The Turks treat their
prisoners with humanity and kindness.
