The result is prccie2ly what cao expected.

sure and Interference , both in Madrid and In

_ World cablegram-Special Telegram.-The )
. election in Cuba yesterday woe quiet. The
, result was inevitable , as there was no oppo-
eltlon. In Havana the government candidates -
dates received from G,547 votes down to
8.749. The Marquis Apetegula , elected a
deputy from Havana , is the manager of the
, Constancla sugar plantation near Cienfuegos ,
, chiefly owned by I'erkinu & Welch of 41
, Wall street , Now York. Out of the thirty
, . ' government candidates , four are n3tIve of

, - comedy that has enlivened the preoent year

Ing are the motes taken on horseback ride
through the dIstrIct of Nicaragua now die-
turbed by cIvil war , commencing on the
morning of February 26 , on which date your
corresponttent left Managua , the eapita.
At noon I was with l'rosident eiaya'is army' '
at Metairo and pareed hIs outposts , four
miles west of Nagarote , at 2 p. m. , arrlv-
hug at Nagarote , which was unoccupIed by
the troops of either side. At six p. rn. I
learned , hovovor , that the Insurgent general -
eral flay cavalry had occupied the place
during the 2&th and had evacuated it on the
morning of the 26thi On February 27
Nagarote was occupied by about thirty of
Zelayas cavalry , followed by the Infantry.
When I arrived at Leon I learneJ that
Gonetal Ortea had arrIved from Guateniah
City , where ho had beeui in exile , on Feb.
mary 28 and had conferred with the chiefs
of the western division of the liberal
political party , Who deciared that they were
contending for the supremacy' of clvii laws
against a dIctatorship by Zeiaya or any one
else. On February 24 the presIdent and
uiecretary of congrero and an aliegad majorIty -
Ity of the legal congress of Nicaragua , who
had adjourned for over Sunday at Managua ,
on February 22 , convened at Leon , and proclaimed -
claimed that General J. Santos ZEi3ya , whom
the legal congress of Nicaragua had appointed -
pointed to be president of NIcaragua In
September , 1S93 , had violated tim constitution -
tion of NIcaragua and therefere they d -
creed that tIne appointment of .1. Soatos
Zelaya to ho president of Nicaragua be re-
yoked and that Vice PreIdent Franulsco
l3aca , Jr. , be appointed legal preaident of
Nicaragua for the unexpired term ( about
two years ) .
11acas cabinet of ministers 'was ' then appointed -

The avaIlable troops were armed anti sent
to Nagarote ( ab ut. forty nllea west Cf Man.

On February 25 there was much excite-
meat and enthuoiasm at Lean and volunteering -
ing in Ilaca's army , whIch was reported
about 4,000 strong , The departments of
Chlnandega , Matagalpa , Jenotega , Esterlee
and Neuva Segovia jolnei the Insurgent
government at Leon , and forwarded soldiers
and volunteers. Nagaroto was then occupied -
pied and evacuated as has been Indicated.
On March 1 a division of l3aca's tro9ps ,
about 1,000 strong , under General Escalon , a
Salvadorean , attacked Nagaroto about noon
and carried several of tine. barricades , fight-
tng until dark , losing two generals kIlled and
several efilcers and oldhers killed and
wounded. They were out of ammunition and
found that Zelaya's troops were heinz supported -
ported from Metairo , four leagues distant.
They conreiuenthy commenced a retreat about
S p. m. , which became a rout and panic , men
throwing down their guns. At Pttoblo Nueva
they kIlled two of their generals , who en-
deawored to stop the panic , and they declared
that General Escalon lund said to them at
Nagarote , when ordering a retreat , that they
had been betrayed by the other generals in
Boon's prmy and should go home.
On March 2 there was a panic at Leon ,
citizcfl. fleeing In fear of the arrival of Ze-
laya's army. I3aca's army was largely disorganized -
organized and the government officials were
considering plans for an armistice , peace , etc'
On March 3 the panIc at Leon was sub.
olding and the government was active In
orients to reorganize the army. Ortla resigned -
signed and Gedoy was made the general-in.

LONDON , April 13-Mr. Gerald flalfour ,
chlct & 'ccretary for Ireland , introduced the
new Irish land bill in the house of Commons
today , It is of much winier scope than that
of Mr. John Morley , who was chief soretary
for Ireland in the late liberal government ,
basc4 upon the prtnciplo of purchase by time
occupying tenant being the ultImate Lolution
of time land question.
The bill provIdes for facilItatIng ( ho ptmr.
clmaso of holdinge and prevents tim lessee
from having rent levied on his tnmprovernente.
It embodIed ttto most essential proposal of
1895 and modified others , It. was proposed
that the tenant should ho deemed , on tIme
payment of two ycora' areare. to be In just
posseamion of he holding , leaving the landlord
to recover tIme rernniumder of the arrears in
limo ordinary way , Continuing , Mr. I3alfour
said the government bad decided to alter
the statutory term of fifteen years for fixing
a fair rent.
Purchase would not bo compulsory , the
cimief secretary of Ireland proceeded , no such
a 'cheuno would require possibly 2,000,000 ,
while the terms could not be eo advantageous
to the tenant. Also payment would be ex
tended from forty-nine to over seventy years ,
and rjlef would be given to the tenante. toward
the end of theIr tenancy , when they were
nmore likely , to need It , the payrnente ( lccreae-
ing with the length of the tcnnmmcy. Time
bIll , he said , extendcd the irnwers of the congested -
gested districts board , enabling It to borrow
to tIme extent of I,00,000. Mr. l3alfour con-
eluded by saying that the bill was an lmoneet
endeavor to faciiitato the substItution of
voaeant ownership for dual ownershIp.
After hearing Mr. flaifour's speech , time
opinion expreseed in the lcbby was that a bill
of such complexity as to have occupied timreu
hours In explanation had tlttlo prospect of
passing at this session of Parliament , In vicw
of time prolonged debates expected or tIme education -
ucation bill.
Whom Mr. Gerald Dalfour had concluded
Mr. John Morley , who wac chief secretary
for Ireland in the late' liberal cabinet and
the author of the Irish land bill , offered tu
the last Parliament , arose to reply lie saId
that it was ImpossIble to crIticise such a
complex bill until ho had saen it printed ,
but it was cvidemmt that , it bristled with objectionable -
jectionablo features and would require a deal
of nrnendnnent In committee. ' lIe warned
the government that if it 'wihed to pass it
it must withdraw Its educaticuaI bill.
John Dillon , chairman of the Irish par-
liarnentary party , declared that the bill was
extremely disappointing o Ireland and was
a further proof of time Incapacity of Parlia-
meat to legislate for Ireland.
The bill woe read for the fIrst time and ito
eacond reading was fixed for April 27 ;
A representative of the Associated pree's ,
looking for sonic of the reprerentative opin'-
ions of the new bill , got aim Interview with
John Redmond on the cubject. He admitted
that the blli had good points and was better -
ter than Mr. Morley's , bitt it was intended
to p053 , while Mr. Morley's was not. lie
thought time Improvement claures would benefit -
efit the tenant , but the purchase c'auses ' , Ime
said , were the most important.
Horace - Plunkctt , memjer of Parliament
for Dublin county , south , was also asked for
his opsiIon. Ho regards the bill ac' an imonost
attempt to bring time land queoticsm within
a measurable distance of a finality.

WASHINGTON , April 13-Specal ( ! Tele-
gram.-lientowed ) impetus , if such a timing
were poseble , was given today to the Traits-
mnlealssppl : exposition bill by time presence
In Washington ot l'reeldent Gurdon W. Wet-
ties of time exposition aesoclaton , Mr. "uat-
tIes , true to western instinct , allowed no
grass to spring up upder hie feet upon Imis
arrival , and at once called upon mentbera' of
the Nebraska delegation to ascertain the
status of the bill imow pending in the lmoue ,
and also the clmancea of time senate bill passing -
ing the house , Accompanied by Mr. Mercer -
cer , lie had an Interview with Cimalrnan
Dlngley of the house ways and means cant-
mittee , which was entirely satIsfactory to
Mr. Wattles , lie stateti to Mr. Dingley that
it was time desire of his people to have an
aPpropriation of $500,000 , one-fiftim of wimlch
was to be spent upon time erection of a
buIlding anti the remaimider of the amount
approprnted on a governmental exhibit and
Incidentals. This was in line with Repro-
seatative Morcer's blI , which was reported
to time full commmtitteo last week by Gros-
venor's subcomnmnlttee.
Chairman Dingley remarked that had the
east asked for such an appropriation he
uotmld be bltterly.oppocad to any such legs-
latioa at the present session of congress. 110
recognized , imowcver , that two-thirds of time
area of time United States was included in
the territory sougimt to be benefited ; tlmat
one-third of the population llvcd west of
the MissIssippi river , anti that a great deal
of time wealth of the United States was to
be found in time twenty-four states anti ter-
ritorico moving for the expositIon. Under
these considerations lie would not antagonIze
time bIll , but would , withIn a few days , give
It a hearing before the full committee. He
stated that several amendments would have
to he attacimed to time bill , one of wimlcim would
be to the effect that 250,000 ho subscribed
as capital stock and approved by the
secretary of the treasury. To this Mr.
Wattlea agreed.
Later in the day Mr , Wattles called upon
Senator Allen , who explained to imlm the
difficulty that was In the way of securing any
larger appropriatou than that contained in
the eonato bill. Ho etated that lie had , can-
u'assed the situation In the senate very
closely and Imad been long enough in legislative -
lative bite to know if $200,000. was pledged
by congress at this session that a larger
amount might b tortiucornimmg front the subsequent -
sequent congress. He ascarted that ime wanted
the bill to become a law , and to th ! end
had accepted amendments proposed by
ChaIrman AIRson of time appropriations corn-
mittoe , because ho recognized that notiming
else was obtainable.
DECIDES ON THE SENATE BILL.
With these divergent views before him , Mr.
Wattiep' han about decided to bring all his
lnfluenc to bear upon the snate bill , now
pending in the houce , and will ask his fricads
who have Influence with SpeakeiReed to
ask for a opeedy recognition of the bill
when reported , to th 'ch that4t'na ' bo
praed and got. to the 'president within the
next six weeks , for congrcss will be gone by
that time should present indicatIons con-
tinimo , Prealdent Wattles , speaking of his
impresi'Ione ' as gathered in a somewhat
hasty view of the situation , said :
"Our . people were somewhat aurprised at
the action of the senate on Friday in passing
th senate bill. We thought our delegatton
waJ act'mig togetimcr in the Interests of the
bill.Viiile Time Bee reflected exactly the
situation ac I find it today in its dispatches
'of ' Saturday mornsmg , It was thought best
that I should come on htre on ceo what
could ho done t'o advance the Interests of
time measure , While I do not believe the
anate bill is adequate _ to time needs of the
anooclation , I timink it is the best we can
obtain at this time , and I rhali use every
endeavor to have the bill pass the imou.a , with
such amendments as the ways and meana
comnaitteo shall agree upon. I have ae-sur-
: nces front Senator Allen that any reasonable -
able amendment will be agreed to by the
conference committee to which the bill will
have to go in event of any amendatlons.
Our people are being aroused to the im-
rortanco of the measure and will be able to
take care of it in a manner creditable to
the great saction of country whicim the expoal-
tion will seem to reproront. Mr. Dugiey ,
while not antagonizing time bill , stated that
his only objection to it was upon the ground
that the government would have to borrow
money to further the enterprIse. This waste
to imim A serious objection , but as tbo great
vcst had never aeked for any appropriation
for such an undertaking ho wac inclined to
waive hL , objection for the advertleement
and censequent building up of the trans-
micairsippi country which mut Inevitably
follow. "

Ilastoiting at once to the home of Mr.
Finnegan , one and one-half miles cast of time
city , Mr. Nichols found a horrible vcriflca-
tion of the assertion matte in time note. Mrs.
Finnegan was found dcatl in a room where
she evltbently had been sitting sewing , as a
thimble was upon her imand , witlm time track
of a 45-caLber rifle ball timrougit her imeati ,
from time base of one ear to time upper part
of time opposIte side of her head.

Finnegan hind ended his life with ; a ball
from tlmo same rifle , bufl imad played time last
act in time drama of his life In his barn. lie
tied a string to the trigger , passed it around
a part of a cultivator beyond time rifle , sat

It seems timat time tragedy was brouglmt
