Havana to that effect. Henrico Tomao
q Supan, who was on the vessel en- route
10 his home in New York, said that he
knew positively that Rivera's fate was
put matter of days or perhaps hours.
he had friend, a close confident of
palace official, who informed him in con-
ndence that Weyler was afraid the
United States government would do some
thing to save Rivera, and he wanted to
Iorestall such action. The news of the
debate yesterday in Washington was
cabled to Havana, and then wired to
Weyler- 1t was understood that Weyler
intended to arrange matters so that he
would not be baked again. The court
martial was ordered the moment the
news of Rivera's capture was received,
and it was directed TO use every diligence
to make 1t report. The sentence of death
was practically pronounced before the
court convened. A form of trial was or
dered in Difference to public opinion in
the United States. The names of the
officers OF the court have not been made
public, it is said, but they were the
most intense partisans that Weyler had.
Several cable inquiries sent over TO
Havana this morning remained unan-
swered and it is the opinion here that
something had occurred as the censor
refuses to allow any information about
Rivera to be sent out.
1t is believed that General Rivera was
shot at sunrise.

Was a Double Deal

Canea, April 2.-The insurgents
around Bubonaria today fired a num-
Der of rifle shots at the block house at
that place, knowing it had recently
been garrisoned by foreign troops, who
replaced the Turks previously occupy
ing the position. The garrison replied
with the guns in the block house.

commander of the Greek army of oc-

officers and 40 soldiers who were cap

is expected that the prisoners VIII ar
rive here tomorrow.
Colonel Vassos made the offer to sur
render the captives through the Greek

Washington, April 2.-Secretary Gage
has struck against the opportunities of
office seekers. For the short period he
has been in office little opportunity has
been given him to attend to office bust
ness. His room has been crowded early
and late with people who want posi-
tons, and those who had friends who
are candidates. This morning the sec
rotary had no opportunity to look into
the affairs of the department before
going to the cabinet meeting. This
afternoon he took the bit in his teeth
and issued this order:
Hereafter. the secretary will receive
visitors only between the hours Of 10
and 1 o'clock on days other than cabi-
net days. On cabinet days, visitors
will be received from 9 until 1890
O clock. No visitors will be received
at other hours except on urgent Off
cial business"

How It Was Done.

Washington, April 1.-The sudden
withdrawal from the senate yesterday
of the nomination of Senator Wolcotts
friend, Arson Burlingame Johnson of
Colorado, as consul at Flu Chau, China,
and his designation the same day as
consul to Annoy, is thus explained:
Mr.. Samuel L. Gracey of Massachu-
sets has a daughter, a missionary, in
Fu Chau, and acting on his behalf, the
Massachusetts senators had secured a
promise that Mr.. Gracey should be
sent as consul to Flu Chau to look after
his daughter. When, therefore, another
mans name was sent in for the place,
the Massachusetts senators hurried to
the White House and told the president
of the mistake which had been made.
The president was sorry and promised
that it should be rectified. Yesterday
morning Senator Wolcott was at the
White House.
BY the way, SENATOR" said the pres
ident,' sent your Mr.. Johnson to the
wrong place the other day. Can 1 send
him somewhere else?''
He wants to go to some place in
China" said Mr.. Wolcott.
How would Annoy do?"
Admirably" l am sure"

Great Is Their Confidence

New York, April "A dispatch to the
Sun from Havana says:
Senior Canovas has made this declara-
ton to the press of Spain:
we may consider the revolution con-
quered in Cuba We may say that only
small bands of insurgents are left in the
six provinces of the island. The same
thing happened in Spain when the
Carlists were vanquished, but their
leader. Cabrera, maintained small bands
of his men during three years after the
peace of Vergara was made
These words of Senior Canovas have
been approved only by the conservatives.
All the other parties in Spain reject with
soorn the reaffirmation that the revolu-
ton in Cuba haSg been conquered and
consider on the contrary that the situa-
ton in the island is as grave as ever

Chicago, April 2.-Railload men COM
plain that business was never so dull
