ELECTION RIOTS IN

Press Censor Prevents Correspond ents From Sending News to

 Copyrighted. 1898. by James Gordon Bennett
 ST. THOMAS, April 12. - Advices from Porto Rico are to the effect that the populace Is still excited over the elections, which resulted in a Liberal majority of twenty-five. On Tuesday the Governor issued a proclamation against disorder. Four newspapers charge fraud in the elections. One hun dred and fifty persons throughout the island have been arrested. Three per sons were killed and twenty-siX wound ed in riots in Cayey and elsewhere. Senor Ramos has gone to Spain to rep resent the Liberal cause in the Cortes. The people are aggravated by the prob ability of rebellion. If military author ity was restricted and more scope given to autonomy internal peace would be assured.
 The censor at Porto Rico stops all news over the wires and the Herald cor ened with expulsion.
 respondent in San Juan has been threat
 ened with expulsion. I was notified on Saturday that he had been placed incommunicado for sending news to the Herald Consul Hanna was not allowed to interfere in any way in his behalf.

FLED TO EVADE A
 MOB AT MATANZAS.
Consul Brice and His Staff and Their Families Arrive at New
 York

NEW YORK, April 12.-The Norwe- gian steamer Herman Wedel Jarsber arrived this afternoon from Matanzas, bringing thirteen passengers, who fled from that port to evade the Spanish mob. The passengers were United States Consul Brice and his staff and their families.
 Consul Brice said that for three days before leaving MatanZas the people threatened his life and at all times his property was in danger. His secretary was obliged to flee for his life. as the mob threatened to drag him through the streets. During these three days the Consul stuck manfully to his post, distributing supplies to the starving reconcentrados and relieving their ne- cessities. At D. m. of the 9th inst he got notice from Havana to withdraw from his post. The Jarlsberg was the only steamer in port and Captain Kjesland agreed to take the Consul and his party to New York. At 10 o'clock the party embarked and the steamer immediately sailed.
 The Consul left all his baggage, and none of the party was able to bring away any personal effects. The Consul sul says that the condition of the peo- ple is terrible, and that the authorities are making no efforts to supply their wants.

not accede to this let us make good the proposition with our army and navy.
 MT. Butler regretted that the Presi- dent did not tell Congress what he meant-just what he wanted. He dis agreed with the President concerning the. recognition of the Cuban republic. maintaining that to stop the war on the island without granting the inde- pendence of the Cuban republic sim ply meant the crushing of the Cuban patriots, and he asked:
 Why did General Lee hurry to Wash 1ngton? We were informed that he would have to get out of Havana before the Presidents message was read. Yet here comes a message that causes the Span iards to build bonfireS and rejoice, and starts the stock tickers to clicking mer- rily and causes smiles to spread over the countenances of Wall street gamblers.
 Within a few hours, I hope we will be called upon to vote upon a definite prop ostion. The last one I voted for with pleasure. I voted for the $50 900 900 emer- gency appropriation. I am ready to vote for $50 900 900 or for $200 ,0O0, 900 to avenge the Maine and to free Cuba, but I'll not vote to expend a dollar for any doubtful policy, and I'll not vote for any scheme to protect Cuban bondholders as against humanity and freedom and independence.
 At 3:55 the Senate went into execu- tive session, and at 4:45 adjourned.

 TERMS OF TRUCE.
It Remains to Be Seen Now Whether the Insurgents Will Accept thu
 Offer of Spain.

Copyrighted. 1898. by James Gordon Bennett.
 HAVANA, April I2.-Captain- Gen eral Blanco to-day issued instructions to the chiefs of various corps of the army relative to the e'ict .uspending hostili- ties and directing them to cause the same to be con- nunicated to the enemy. Troops will suspend hostilities, main taining their present positions without any offensive movement, but will still continue to guard conveys. In case the enemy assumes the offensive they will attack them vigorously. If the rebels send in flags of truce they will be re- ceived. Commanders of troops will en- ter into negotiations with the chief of the enemy to fix conditions which will provisionally decide the terms of the suspension of hostilities The neutral zone to be agreed upon shall be of two kilometers. Everything is to be re- ferred to the general of the division. Captain General Blanco will reserve his definite appreciation to the terms OraDfed
