HE MAY ESCAPE DEATH. The laited Staten State Department Bald to Have Made Onlet, bat Kf feetlve, Representations to Min ister Def.ome—Was Corres pondent Crosby Mur dered by Spain? Chicago, April 5.—The Times-ller ald’s Washington special says: “Sec retary Sherman has protested against the execution of General Ruls Rivera, the Cuban leader in 1'inar del Rio, who was recently captured by the Spanish forces. President McKinley and Secretary Sherman discussed the Rivera case, and the latter, at the President’s suggestion, com municated with Senor DcLome, the Spanish minister. Secretary Sherman did not make a formal protest ugainst the execution of Ri vera. At the same time Secretary Sherman wanted^the Spanish minister and his government to understand that the execution of Rivera would not tend to promote good feeling for Spain in this country. Alreudy public opinion was much exercised over the threat to " shoot the prisoner, and if that threat was carried into ex ecution the indignation through out the I'nited States might lx: so great as to embarrass the government. It is not doubted that Senor lie Rome communicated the substance of this informal protest to his government. and there are reasons for believing tliat the Spanish authorities will cable orders to Havana that will save Hivera's life. Havana, April !i. — Aiting Taptain General Ahuinada has received orders from Minister of War A/.oarraga at Madrid not to try General Kuis Rivera immediately by court martial. The minister thinks that a summary court martial, followed by the shooting of Rivera and liucailao, would have a had effect in Europe. Washington, April 5.--It is report ed. but denied at the state depart ment, that Consul General Lee has cabled from Havana that he had reas ons to believe that Correspondent Crosby of Chicago hail been captured by Spaniards and murdered, not shot in battle. Sangaily Off for Calm Jacksonvii.i.k, Fla.. April 5.—Gen eral Julio Sanguily, who was smug gled into this city secretly by the Cuban Junta Wednesday night, and escaped the espionage of five Spanish spies, left last evening for east coast in disguise, thence to take a sailing boat for Cuba. It is understood that he will go to the western end of the island of I'inar del Rio province and assume charge of General Rivera’s army. Thousandn of Bicycle Invention*. Washington, April 5.—The records kept at the patent office show to what an enormous extent the invention of bicycle improvements has grown in this country. Since 1876 over 4,000 patents relating to bicycles have been granted by the United States natent office, and at least half of these have been issued in the last six years. It now takes the labor of eight expert assistant examiners to handle the ap plications of cycle inventors, and even with this force there is always a big batch of applications awaiting exami nation. llow fast this industry has grown may l»e judged from the state ment that up to 1876 only almut :S00 patents for cycles had been issued. There is no country in the world that shows a similar rate of growth in this same line. MinlMr/ ltfvi fctnrldgc N*f«>, Washington, April (’llfton R.
