NEW YORK. April S.-The World"

dent of the Porto Rican Revolutionary
private information from the commit
tee on the island of Porto Rico to the
effect that the country has taken up
arms against the Spanish Govern
ment, the uprising having taken place
in Yauco and Adjutas.
DR.. Henna, upon the receipt of the
news, at once called together all the
members of the committee, and held
a conference at his home. No persons
except members of the committee We're
allowed to take part in the meeting.
The news of the uprising, it was re-
ported by a member, had also been
received in this city by a well-known
banking firm, which has close bust
ness connection with one of the lead
ing banking houses in Porto Rico.
When seen at a late hour last night
DR.. Henna said: 1.-THE news, though
startling, did not surprise me, as the
latest mail advices from Porto Rico
brought us the information that the
situation there was becoming every day
more srious.
According to our correspondent, the
Spanish authorities there were acting
toward the people as if they were anx-
ious to precipitate matters by driving
them to desperation and to arms. The
information in the cablegram We re-
ceived though important, is meager.
We expect full particulars by the next

RHODE ISLAND ELECTION.
Carry the State by Four
teen Thousand Majority.

PROVIDENCE Or. u, April THE
State election to-day was the dullest
on record. The Republicans were abso-
lutely sure of a walk-over, and had
there been the usual response on the
part of the electors Elisha Dyers ma
jority would have been one of the larg-
est ever given a gubernatorial candi-
date AS it was, he has the largest pro-
portionate plurality ever received by
candidate for Governor of Rhode Island,
estimated tonight at IA, 900.

OAKLAND, April Judge Hall de-
not be removed from the life of young
George A. Aldrich, SO the heir to a
fortune cannot demand $500, 900 from
the trustees of his estate. Under the
law, he is an insane man, and has no
legal right to ask for his inheritance
under his fathers will.
Five years ago Aldrich was released
from the insane asylum on parole.
Since that time he has shown no signs
of insanity, and expert physicians have
asserted in court that he is mentally
competent The provisions in his
fathers will declare that the son shall
have his fortune as soon as he is per
manently restored to capacity"
Aldrich went to Napa and made a
formal demand for his discharge as a
cured patient, but his request was de-
MED. Then he came before Judge Hall
Of the Superior Court, with an appli-
cation to be restored to capacity. The
Judge decides that Aldrich has brought
the wrong kind of an action, and re-
fuses to hear further testimony in the
case. The court suggested to the ap-
PllCc1Ilt lllcdl hight sue Jul q NAAS
of habeaS corpus.
Aldrich points out that in order to do
that he must voluntarily surrender
himself to the asylum authorities.
Rather than pursue this course, he
says he is willing to give up the bat
tie He will at once apply to the Su-
preme Court for writ Of mandamus
to compel the Superior Court to pro-
coed with the case, and render judg-
ment on the evidence.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 7.-Chicago

JOHNSON LIBEL CASE.
Proceedings in His Suit Against a
Fresno Paper Begun.

LOS ANGELES, April THE libel
suit instituted against the Fresno Re
publican" for $4,000 by the Rev. l. T.
Johnson began in the United States
District Court to-day. Most of the day
was consumed securing jury, and
but very little testimony was introduce
ed.
The articles complained of as libelous
were read, as were also several other
extracts from the paper, which were
offered to show malice on the part of
the writer. The paragraphs consisted
in personal criticism of Rev. Johnson,
who, it was claimed, had made defama-
tory remarks in his congregation con-
corning the virtue of Fresnos maidens
The case will be continued tomorrow
morning.

All the members of the committee
were very reticent after the meeting,
but one of the more prominent, who
would not permit his name to be pub

movement in Porto Rico has started
earlier than was expected and agreed
upon, but no doubt circumstances of
which we know nothing must have
compelled our brethren to take the step
at once. What seems strange is that
the uprising did not take place at Rio

people in those districts were better
prepared for action"

GREECE STILL FIRM.

AIf1ENS, April t.-I III OuSiOoe , 70
terday evening the palaces of King
George and Crown Prince Constantine
were blazing with lights and the city
generally was a mass of illumination
in celebration of the anniversary OF
Greek independence in 1871.
The displays of fireworks were num-
erous, and in all parts of Athens were
patriotic assemblages, at which war
like orations were delivered, the speak
ers being greeted with cheers for the
King and for war.
During the evening there was grand
military tattoo, in which all the bands
in the city took part.
The whole population thronged the
streets, cheering everybody and every
thing ana for war with the Turks. But
in spite Of the demonstration of loyalty
and patriotism there was no disturb
ance worth noting.
The Cabinet Ministers assembled last
evening, and were engaged until a late
hour in discussing the identical notes
of the representatives Of the Powers,
handed yesterday to M. Skouzes, the
Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs.
1t is believed that NJ. Skouzes will de-
liver the reply of Greece to the repre-
sentatives of the Powers to-day.
Meanwhile it is rumored here that
Russia has made separate proposal to
the effect that if Greece will withdraw
her troops from Crete Russia will agree
to obtain the withdrawal of the Turk
ish troops from Crete and Russia prom
ises that Prince George of Greece will
be sent to organize the Cretan gen
darmeS.
Greece according to the report,
promptly rejected these propositions.
The demand made by admiral Cane
varo, the Italian officer in command of
the international fleet in Cretan waters,
to be relieved of his command is said
to be due to his opposition to the plans
drawn I'D for the blockade of Piraeus.
