General Rius Rivera Resigna

Havana. April 25.-General Rius Ri- vera has resigned the post of secretary of agriculture. industry and commerce in the governor generals cabinet. He has also announced to the citizens of Havana that he is a candidate for the mayoralty. Gen. eral Rivera made the following statement for publication: Although I have left the cabinet, shall not identify myself with any particular party. I have confidence in the American people. It is, however, possible that the administration at Wash ington may not be so honest as the people at large. Cuba is not conquered. If the United States government wishes to an pex Cuba. it will have to do so by force of arms. The Cubans will not consent to slide into annexation without resistance. Eventually Cuba would probably ask for annexation, but she must first pass through the stage of independence. Dur ing this period the Cubans would not ob- ject to the Americans quartering their troops in the island"

New Jersey Delegates.

The Republican state convention at Trenton on Thursday to elect delegates at large to the Republican national conyen- tion in Philadelphia on June 19 was a veritable love feast because of the with drawal of United States Senator John Kean as one of the four delegates. This prevented the expected contest between Governor Voorhees, and Barker Gum mere of Mercer county for the fourth place and made Mir. Kean the hero of the convention. Colonel Dickinson. chair man of the Hudson delegation. insisted upon putting Mir. Kean in nomination, but all the counties, with the exception of Hudson and Union, voted for the slate agreed upon-that is. United States Sena- tor Sewell. Governor Voorhees,. State Chairman Franklin Murphy and Barker Gummere-and the votes of these two counties made it plain that had Mir. kean not withdrawn the governor would have defeated Mir. Gummere. The four alter mates at large were chosen without oppo- sition. They were Edward w. Wooley of Hudson, Henry ]. Trick of Burlington. John I. Blair Reilly of Warren and ex.

The weIInud Canal Outrage

Niagara Falls, Ont, April 25.-Cana- dian officials say that they are satisfied that no one interested in the Buffalo scooper question is in anyway connected with the attempt to dynamite the Vel land locks. The affair remains as much of a mystery as heretofore. and not a word of importance has been drawn from any one of the three men now in isolat- ed confinement at Welland jail concern ing their antecedents. Nolin is obyi- ously the least hardened of the trio. and it is from him that the officers are cx- pecting to secure n confession sooner or later. although it is doubtful if he is in sufficiently close touch with the insti- gators of the conspiracy to throw much light upon the plot. There were no call CTS at the Welland jail yesterday, the sheriff having positive orders to let no one see the men.

KEYSTONE REPUBLICANS.
Quny's Defeat Makes Gathering For
 Convention Gloomy.


 . Harrisburg. April 25.-Interest in the Republican state convention has been dwarfed to large extent by the rejection of Colonel Matthew Stanley Quay by the senate at Washington. Delegates are here from all parts of the state. and most of them are friends of Colonel Quay. They fully expected that he would he seated and that the convention would re- solve itself into popular ovation for Quay and Penrose.
 There was some talk in the first blush of the news from Washington of retalia- tion against the national administration because of the turning down of Quay, but better counselS prevailed. and President Mckinley will be indorsed. Senator Pen rose arrived here shortly before midnight and is in conference with the party lead CTS. At late hour it is reported that the feeling over tke Quay business will show itself in the defeat of Congressman at Large Grow. who is supposed to sympa- thize with the enemies of Quay in Penn sylvania. The chances are. however, that the delegates will think better of it before morning and nominate Grow and Robert H. Foederer of Philadelphia as representatives at large in congress. F.. B. Hardenberg will he nominated for au- ditor general. The chairman of the con- vention will be Henry w. Oliver of Pitts burg.
 There was lot of indefinite talk late last night about nominating Colonel Quay as one of the congressman at large for the purpose of vindicating him in a popular election. It is not known wheth- CT this will be done. but older politicians are not inclined to attach much impor- tance to the movement. There is also talk about an attack upon the Mckinley administration in the platform. but unless Senator Penrose bears some message from Senator Quay advising such a move there is no doubt that President McKin- ley's administration will be indorsed. There can be no concealment of the fact that there is much bitterness against the administration on account of Colonel Quay's overthrow. but it may not show itself in the convention.
