Says De LONE, Will Depend ON Con-
duct Of Cuban Sympathizers.
Washington, April S.-Advices received
by the Spanish minister here state that
General Luis Rivera, who is lying
wounded near Havana is not in serious
condition. Inquiry as to the status Of the
prisoner resulted to-day in a statement
by the Minister to the effect that at no
time has the Spanish government nor
General Weyler had an idea of shooting
Rivera. 1t was added that it would GER
tainly not have been in order to express
any such opinion, whatever the belief
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, it can hardly be asserted that
General Rivera's future is absolutely as
sured. When questioned on this point
the Minister 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 to the conduct Of General
Sanguilly, who is now under arrest on
suspicion of aiding another filibuStering
expedition, or to the proceedings in the
Senate which might be regarded as tend
ing to intiame bad feelings. 1t was evi-
dent, however, that Senior De LONE felt
that Sanguilly, in breaking his parole, as
he claimed, was not Strengthening the ar
gument that the Spanish forces in Cuba
should be held to strict observance of
the rules of war;

General III. V. BoyntOn Appointed
Chairman, Vice the Late General Full
lertOn.
Washington, April S.-The organization
of the Chickamauga National Park Com
mission, necessitated by the recent death
of its chairman. General j. s. Fullerton,
was perfected by Secretary Alger to-day.
General Henry V. Boynton, who has as
sisted the commission in historical work,
was transferred to full membership in
the commission and appointed chairman.
General NJ. H. Duffield was appointed
to the vacancy caused by General Boyn-
tons promotion. The other members of
the commission are General A. =. Stew
art and Major +. J. Smith, L. s. Army.
The latter is secretary. General Duff
field, the new member, is resident of
Detroit, Michigan. He was an active
participant in the battle of Chickamau-
ga and Chattanooga. He is an officer
of the Society of Army of the Cumber-
land, and was its orator on the occasion
of the dedication of the statue of Presi-
dent Garfield in this city. General BOyn-
ton, the new chairman of the commits
sion, has been perhaps the most active
member of the commission for some
years, and it was due largely to his efforts
that the park was established. He par
ticipated in all the engagements about
Chattanooga as commanding officer of
the 35th Ohio.

SENATOR'S GETTING TOGETHER

Democrats and Republicans Trying to
Settle Upon Plan of Organizing the
Committaas
Washington, April S-The Republican
and Democratic Senators have at last
apparently begun serious efforts to reach
an understanding upon basis of re-or-
ganization of the Senate committees. The
re-organizing committees of both sides
of the chamber were in session during the
greater part of the afternoon to-day and
subcommittee representing both parties
met in conference for the exchange of
propositions, Senator Mcmillan, Galin-
ger and Carter representing the Repub-
lican and Senators German, Cockrell and
Faulkner the Democrats.
The Democratic conferees outlined the
position of the Democratic side of the
chamber to be that the Democrats should
be allowed to fill the committee places
held by Democrats in the last Congress.
The Republicans proposed that the re-
organization should take place on the
basis of percentages, an arrangement
which they admitted would result in re-
ducing the Democratic representation on
the committee 20 an average extent of
one member.
This did not prove an acceptable bass
of settlement to the Democrats, where
upon the Republicans suggested COM
promise agreement. They called atten-
ton to the fact that the Republican plu-
rality over the Democrats was nine now
whereas it was only two at the beginning
of the last session. This, they pointed out.
would require about 35 more committee
assignments than in 1895. They suggest
ed that the Democrats should make con-
cessiOns that would give the Republicans
sufficient increase of places to permit
them to take proper care of their increas-
ed number of Senators.
This proposition was only tentatively
made and conditionally condemned. The
Democratic Senators indicated a disposi-
ton to recommend it's favorable consid-
GRAFTON to their caucus committee pro-
viding an understanding could be reached
upon the allotments on the committees
on finance and appropriations. These
vacancies have been the real bone of
contention from the beginning There
are two vacant places on the finance
committee, one caused by the retirement
of q Democratic Senator and the other
by the retirement of Republican and
three on the appropriation committee, all
caused by the failure of Democrats to Sc
cure reelection. The Democrats stated
emphatically that the party they repre-
sented would allow no discrimination of
the Democratic strength on that commit
tee, on account of the silver issue, but
said it was possible they might con-
cede one additional Republican on ap-
preparation. They agreed to present the
matter to their full committee.
The proposition was afterwards brought
to the attention of the full Democratic
caucus committee, but on definite action
was taken. There was, however, an ap-
parent disposition to make concessions
except upon the finance committee mem
bership, which there was a decided de-
termination to hold to it's present financial
and political complexion.

NASHVILLE'S TRIAL TRIP.
The New Gunboat Constructed at New
port News.

Newport News, Va, April S.-The gun
boat Nashville, which was constructed
at this point by the Newport News Ship
Building and Dry Dock Company, was
sent to-day for preliminary trial. AL
though no speed test was made, the ves-
sci developed 14A knots, or 11a knots
more than the contract requirement,
without any attempt to bring out her ca
pacity.
The purpose Of the trip was to warm
her up" as one of the crew expressed it,
and to ascertain whether or not all her
machinery was in perfect working order.
Everything operated to the entire salts
faction of the builders. The Nashville
will undoubtedly make over 151a knots
on her official trial trip which will
probably take place in few days.

Attempt to Contract for 1.5OO

Only three Japanese immigration
companies are at present in the field
to supply labor to the Hawaiian plan
ters; that is, but three of them are
getting orders. By recent steamer
from Japan Mr.. Nakayama, at one
time Japanese Inspector here, came
over for the purpose of placing 1,5OO
laborers, but failed to succeed.
1t seems that Nakayama represented
company that had received orders
from parties in Brazil for that num-
Der of Japanese, and the men were re-
cruited. About the time the men were
ready to be shipped cable was re-
ceived by the company, announcing the
failure of the parties ordering them.
AS the recruiting involved considera-
BILE expense, it was thought best to
dispach Mr.. Nakiyama to Honolulu to
dispose of the men. But the scheme
failed, owing, perhaps, to the fact that
the company represented by him is not
well known here.

these beautiful effects Of lights and

to conform with the many different
