An Havana, Cuba, cablegram, car
ried by tho Associated Press, says:
General Armando Riva, chief of the
natiorial police, was shot and mortal
ly wounded during a pistol fight in
the most crowded portion of the
prado. General Ernesto Asbert,
governor of Havana province, Sena
tor Vidal Morales and Representa
tive Arias were involved in the fight
ing, which was the outcome of a
raid made by General Riva on the
Asbert club, when a large number
of members were caught gambling.
They were .arrested and sentenced
to pay a heavy fine. General Asbert
complained to President Menocal,

his two young sons, stopped his car
riage in front of the Asbert club and
caused the arrest of the doorkeeper
for illegally carrying a revolver.
Asbert, Morales and Arias arrived in
an automobile about the same time

A breach of promise suit was In
stituted by a woman against Gover
nor Sulzer of New York. The gover
nor has recently broken with Tam
many Hall. In a newspaper inter
view referring to the suit Governor
Sulzer said: "There is nothing to it.
It is a conspiracy and appears to be
fishy. It is Instigated by my politi
cal enemies and is a part of the plot
of Boss Murphy and his political con
spirators to discredit me because
they can not use me for their nefari
ous schemes to loot the state of New
York. I defy them all to do their
worst. Their efforts to injure me
with honest methods is not to be expected."

wright. His ardent patriotism often led
him to excesses in the expression of
his opinions and brought him into
conflict with tho law.
