Twenty-three members present iworc un willing to vole for dissolution because they still believe In the ability of the assembly to r.also n large loan with the help of the United States government. The session opened with the tendering of the resigna tions of the members of tlio executive com mittee , action on which was postponed un til the next meeting. A motion was offered providing for the appointment of n new ex ecutive committee to close up the affairs of the assembly after Its dissolution. A motion was nlso mndo to concede the military grades nnd Insignia to the civil representatives of the Cubans In arms. Dur ing the argument of the motion It appeared that the future payment of ofilccrs by n prsslblo Cuban republic was being consid ered , nml hence the matter of grade Is Im portant. General Sangullly favored p.ajlng many Cuban generals of todaj , who have never seen a day's lighting , declaring that among the civil members of the Cuban partj were the most devoted men ho ever know , The motion was carried H means the admission to payment , according to conceded military grades , ot many men who hue not been rerognbed before , If the day for the pajmcnt of officers ever conies. llut.-h of MrniiKc Ti'li'KinniN. General Andrade , president of the assem bly , lead telegrams from Senores Hovla and Vlllalon , the delegates scut to Washington by the assembly to secure moro money for the Cuban troops.

Wo leave Sun day. V1LLAI.ON , General Sanguilly then requested a" secret mooting of the assembly , but the request was voted down. Then Sangullly suggested that the assembly should wait until Sonors Vlllalon nnd Hcvia returned and made a fuller report than was possible by cable. .MnjitrU ) PIIVOIN DlHHoliitlon. During the discussion it developed that at the last secret session of the assemblj * , held on March " 4 , a majority ot the members favored Immediate dissolution , but the minority Insisted that they would not con cur until u committee went to Washington and made a final cltort to obtain a larger sum than the $3,000,000 offered by the United States for the pajment of the troops. If the committee reported unfavor ably they said they would agree to dissolve todaj- . The majority Insisted that the minor ity fulfill this compact. General Sangullly then read the following cablegrams , saying ho had received them from a man with whom the assembly had negotiated for a loan during the secret sessions , nnd declar ing that the receipt of these messages made It impossible for him to vole : Tlio iirst dispatch was as follows : "Sanguilly , Havana : Complete revulsion favorable to assembly. Entire cash rcadj. Have assembly and Portuondo hold fast. Hereafter use exact code , Important Information mation , warning" The second read : "Would bo crime soldiers and assembly dissolve.

" The nbovo cable dispatches were In Eng lish and had every appearance of legitimate messages from the Havana cable ofllco. Sangullly read them in Spanish and It was evident by their icceptlon that the news had alrc-ady been communicated to a ma jority ot the members present The Karros referred to Is the man who some weeks ago cabled to the nssom'bly from Washington advising them not to ac cept the $3 , ( > ao,000 and sajlng he was bring ing a better proposition.

Sangullly declined to give the name of the sender ot the three cables which were signed with a cede word , but they nro gen erally believed to have been sent by a man named Cohen , who mndo the original propo sition of n loan to the assembly.

There wcro too few present to constltuto n quorum , but It was decided that business could bo transacted legally , notwithstand ing , ns the meeting was a continuation of the ono preceding. AVlth reference to the matter ot n 10 pet cent distribution , Thomas Kllpatrlck offered an amendment , Increasing It to 12Vi per cent , offering as an explanation the state ment that a dividend could 'bo ' declared un der the higher rate and still leave an ample fund to meet liabilities. A memoinndnm of fundi on hand showed that the proposed distribution could o made nnd the amount in controversy with the Hock Island railroad bo retained , still leaving a balance of ? 18,7S7.18.

This was In accordance -with a previous recommendation of the executive committee. A "rider" to the amendment was offered by A. L. Heed , stipulating that the dividend bo not paid until nn agreement can be se cured from the United Heal Kstnto nnd Trust company , trustees for the Kountzo tract , releasing the exposition association from Its contract to restore the grounds to their original condition. Otherwise a greater balance would bo necessary. The amend ment was carried and the motion ns amended was passed , G. W. Wattles and Frank Murphy voting no. Explaining his vote , Mr. Wattles said he preferred to have a quorum pass upon the ( question , believing this proceeding neces sary to make the action binding. C. r. Manderson expressed the same opinion and after n discussion of the point It was de cided to let the matter go v."cr until the next regular meeting , Trlda ; ' , April ' . when the action can bo ratified b' n quorum.

FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS SUM ASKED I'liitnUn ClinrKL"4 ( lint Hie CoiiHiinud 1'roNeutitlnii lli Injured UN Ileiiiilnltoii ax Well a IIlH llenltli. The anticipated damage suit of William F. Bechel against the Pacific Expicss company - pany , on account of Ills recent arrest and unsuccessful prosecution foi alleged cmbez zlemeut , has boon filed in the district couu Mr. Dechel places his damages at $10000 and sues the express company foi that amount and the costs of this action Much of the subject matter contained in the petition has become familiar dining the successive prosecutions that were Instituted by Erastua Young whllo ho was acting as auditor and temporary general manager of the express company. Early in 1S9S there was a general reor ganisation ot the companj , in the courbo of which neaily all the old officials nnd many of the emplojes were dismlsbea Humors of alleged irregularities In its flnan * clal affairs and of probable criminal pro ceedings circulated from basement to gar- ict In the building at Fourteenth nnd Hnrnej- streets nnd gradually leaked out to become subjects of general gossip. Shortly after a complaint was filed against Andrew Hunt , who had been the custodian of the office bank , nnd ho was arrested by a Pinkerton detective for alleged embezzlement. Tor several dojs lie remained in the custody or the detective and could not be found by his attorney nor his friends Eventually the cafao against him was dropped nnd informa tions weio filed against W. I" , llcchel , audi tor , and T. K Sudborougli , chief eleilc , charging them with embezzlement on a large number of counts , most of which weio for small amounts Doth defendants wcro ao- quitted after a vigorous effort to convict , them , in which Hunt proved to bo tlio main reliance of the express company. It cnine out In evidence that he had received a for- rial assurance that he would not bo prose cuted in icturn for his assistance In the piosccutlon of IJochel and Sudborougli. CluiiKON MnllelotiN 1'roNcentloii. In the suit that ho has now Instituted Mr. Dechel contends that his arrest and prosecu tion constituted an uncalled for and malicious effort to blacken his character and that he has been peunaiiently damaged In health , reputation and business pros pects He assorts that Erastus Young was a director and general auditor of the express company nnd In that capacity had full au thority to Institute criminal proceedings Ho recites that May 29 , 1S3S. Mr. Young , acting for the express companj' , falsely nnd maliciously made and Hied a , complaint nnd information , charging him ( Ucchel ) with the embezzlement of S1.S01 2r > and that a war rant was duly issued at his Instance This was turned over to Detective Chapln nnd It Is assorted that Us service was purposely dolajed until late at night , when ho ( Uechol ) was at homo with his family nnd suffering severely from Illness. It is stated that ho ( llcchel ) could be- found at any time , that ho had no Intention of leaving the city nnd that the delay In serving the warrant was n part of a scheme to make a criminal case in order to compel the plaintiff to turn over certain mining stock that ho owned to the express company. The dismissal ot this Information on the preliminary hearing nnd the filing of the second Information by Young Is detailed , to gether with the subsequent history of the case to the tlmo when Iloehel was declared "not guilty" by a jury On tlio question of damages , It ! h repre sented that Ilechel VVUH 57 jeaiH old at the tlmo the charges were made. He was a married man , the head of a family and had been a resident of Omaha for over twenty jears. During that period ho had earned a reputation for Integrity and had held many positions of trust nnd responsibility. Ho had alvvoja honestly and faithfully dis charged every trust that was Impceod In him , and by finch means ho was able to secure - cure dosliablo positions by which ho could support his family and educate his children. Ho declares that the effect of the false and malicious prosecution to which ho has been subjected has been to seilously Impair his reputation for Integrity and bring unde served tliamo and disgrace on ihimself and his family. Ho also alleges that his health has been i > eimancntly Impaired by the nervoun ( itrain under which ho suffered , that his weight has been reduced from 173 to 140 pounds and that ho has been unable to slec-p except at bhort nnd Irregular In tervals. Ho also cittfl the expense that ho was compelled to Incur in order to defend himself and declares that as a result of the charges that have been made agalimt him ho has ibecn prevented , from obtaining umplojment. 111:1 : Tucis ins C\NI : ivro cm iir.

In connection with the cffoit of the Hoard of County Commissioner * to dictate whom the county clerk shall employ In his office there la an Interesting development In the shape of an effort to give Trank Ransom n job and saddle the expense on the tax- pnjers. The Initial step Is taken in a pe tition signed by n number ot Dee's political compatriots , In which the county board Is requested to employ special counsel to do- teimlno the light of the board to designate the employes In the office of the county clerk. It Is represented that the taxpaers of the county are literally Ijlng nvvako nights and that It is of paramount importance that tlili quctitlon should be settled before the wheels of government stop moving altogether. The letltlon ii > blgned by John T. Murphy , hurchill Parker , P. C Heafy , n. B Howell - ell , Walter lirandcs , John Drexel , John Lln- dellV. . II Olmstoad , Louis liohino ana several other fuelon politicians This mild draught on the treasury In the Intcrebts of the combine will como up for consideration at the next meeting of the board. That It will be vogorously opposed by the icpubllcan members Is ceitaln. These decluie that there Is no moro reason vvhy'tho county should furnish Dee with an attorney than that It should furnish ono for the county clerk. Mr. Havorly has retained nn attorney to represent him In the mar- damns proceedings without even suggesting that the taxpayers should foot the bill ana they suggest that It Is eminently proper that Dee should do the same thing. The South Omaha postofllco Is forging ahead , the receipts for the jear ending March 31 amounting to ? j3188.77. The end of March closed the first quarter of the jcar and postal lecelpts amounting to $1-1,073 G5 nro shown. Ihis Is a big increase over the first quarter , as compared with 1S9S , ibut the figures are not available on account of the statements having Ibecn misplaced In the vault by the former postmaster. For the jear ending March 31 the money orders issued numbered G.SS9 , amounting to $4j,27S SI. International orders Issued during the same prelod numbered C04 and amounted to $ G,226 03 , making n total of money orders Issued of $51,504 84. Domestla money orders paid numbered 8.G08 and amounted to $77,96743 , while the international orders paid numbered eighty- four , amounting to $3,064.85. The business of the ofllco in all departments shows a steady Increase and with the Increase In revenue , the balary of the postmaster will bo raised correspondingly. Ono > ear ago the postmaster general served notice that the iccclpts at this point had leached $40,000 , consequently It was raised to the first class at the commencement of the fiscal > ear , July 1 , 1808. Since that tlmo the receipts have Increased fiom $10,000 to $5.5,000 , which shciws in a great measure the In crease in the business trnnactcd In this city. IIIN : | < T SITA ICON nt tinlinrclu' .
