DELAWARE DEADLOCK.
Legislative Session Ended without Electing
Senator.


Dover, Del, March 14.-After one of
the most exciting scenes that has ever
been witnessed in the general assem-
bly, of this state, the session of 1899
ended yesterday afternoon without
electing United States senator to
succeed Hon. George Gray. 1t is the
first time in the history of the state
that there is an unquestionable SEN
atorial vacancy, and owing to the pre-
cedent of the upper house of congress
in refusing to seat gubernatorial APP
pointees after the legislature of state
has had an opportunity to elect, the
seat of Mr.. Gray will remain vacant
until the general assembly of 1901
shall choose his successor. At the
same time the term of Senator Richard
r. Kenney will also expire, and it will
therefore devolve upon the next legis-
lature to elect two senator's.

SKELETON IN AN ARM CHAIR.


Bsnss Of the gpsaish Admiral wills NIL

Santiago de Cuba, March I5.-G1ner
al Leonard Wood, military governor
of the department of Santiago, In the
presence of the Acknowledgment OF
the department, Colonel Bacon and
Captain Gilmore, Captain Scott, cap
tain of the port, and other officers,
positively identified the remains OF the
Spanish officer discovered few days
ago among the rocks on the shore
about four miles west of Ell Moro, as
those of Admiral Villamil, who COM
manded the Spanish torpedo boat de-
stroyers In the naval battle which
resulted In the destruction of Admiral
Cervera's squadron.
Accompanied by the officers named
and by others, General Wood went in
tug to investigate personally as to
the truth OF the report that the body
of Spanish officer had been found,
tied in an arm chair, a. the point
designated. The report proved we'll
founded.
Nearly opposite the point where the
wrecked torpedo destroyer Pluton lies,
General Wood found an arm chair with
ropes around it, a skull, bones on the
ground and the ragged remnants of
the uniform of captain in the Span
ish navy. 1t was evident that the buzz
yards had stripped the bones of flesh.
1t is derstood-though as to this
there is no certainty-that Admiral
Villamil was taken ashore from the
Pluton in dying condition, tied in an
arm chair, and the superstition is that
he died Immediately on reaching the
shore, the body being left abandoned |
among the rocks where it remained |
until a few days ago.
General Wood, through the war de-
partment, will notify the secretary of
state Of the finding of the remains so
hat they can be removed to Spain, if
The Spanish government SO desires.
Pending final disposition they will be
xept at the arsenal here. The tattered
Uniform will also be held subject to
spanish orders.

No Ultimatum Has Been Delivered to
China.
Rome, March 15.-The Tribuna as
serts that Italy has not delivered an
ultimatum to China. On the contrary,
the Italian government has disavowed
the action of Signor MARITIME regarding
the San Nun bay affair, and has re-
called him, confiding Italy's interests
to the British minister at Pekin until
the successor of MARITIME arrives there.
The news of Signor Martino's recall
came as complete surprise to the
public. 1t is understood his note ask
ing China to re-accept the first Italian
note was regarded by the Italian gov
eminent as too conciliatory, but the
general belief is that China will inter-
pref the recall as sign of weakness.
Count Orgni, the Italian minister at
Toxic, will be appointed to succeed
Signor MARITIME.
