GENERAL NEWS.

Regarding Pearson's Appointment at at tt York Washington Correspondents Puzzled. General Grant Haa a Bad Day Troubled With Mucous and Coughed Much. TEARS0XVS APPOINTMENT. Not Doe to New York Kditcrs, as Claimed. Special to the EcntlneL. Washington, April 12. I learned at the White Heuee the other day, from one who is very near the Chief Kxecative, that the statements published in several Eastern pa persthat the President had told some one that he reappointed Postmaster Pearson at the request of three or l.mr leading New York editors is utterly without foundation. My informict said: "The Presinent spent a good deal of time looking into the charees agairsk. Mr. Pr arson and found that he had managed tf Postollice efficiently snd economically, and hid not misueed it for partisan purp.se Pearson, too, was indorsed for reappointment by tne leading business men of th metropolis, many of them old Democrats. " Is the President," asked the Sentinel correspondent, ''likely to reappoint anr Rdpublican ollicial who now holds office?" "There is not a possibility of such a thins;. If onr party frienda will just give Mr. Cleveland a little chance, he will turn all the ras call out and fill their placet with good Democrats. Home, you know, was not built in a day, nor should we expect 110 000 Republican oflice-holdera to be replaced in that time with Democrats." Canada Refused Permission to Send Troops Through the United States. Epcc'&l to the Sentinel. Washington, April 12. When the Canadian Government asked permission of this country to transport troops through our territory in order to suppress the Riel insurrect'on, the President directed the Secretary of State to proceed with great caution, and to bs careful to avoid any entanglement which might possibly draw this country Into controversy. Mr. Bayard's decision, embodying a refueal of the request of the Canadian authorities, meets with the President's approval. The grounds of refusal have not boen made public, bat on excellent authority is said to be that it is an unusual course; that this Government does not feel called upon to aid Canada In suppressing its own interna disorders, either directly or indirectly; that it would Ia7olve committing the United States to take the position that Kiel is no more nor less thai a common rioter, or even insurrectionist, and finally, that a family quarrel in Canada i none of our business. The mos1, stringent measures will ba taken, however, to prevent invasion of our eoil by either party, and to protect our citlzsns from ravages of contending fortes. For this purpose an amp e military force is being massed on the frontier. These are simply precautionary measures. The President does not anticipate any trouble, as the position of this Government is well understood. What Did the Secretary Mean? Special to the Sentinel. Washington, April 12 A number of newspaper ttn were In Secretary Whitney's room one morning last week discussing various matters with the young Cab.net officer, when one of them remarked: ' Mr Secretary, as the most of u-; are going to New Orleans next Monday, you will no doubt breathe easier.'' "If I blon?ed to the newspaper frer ni?y," laughingly answered Secretary Wb.itcey, "I shculo want to be in Washington next week. There's going to b9 lots to write about." No one in the party knew exactly what tbe Secretary meant by thi remark, nor did anyone ask for an explanation, but the Inference drawn by tne majmty was that there would be a batch of large aiz?d ra move's in some ef tbe departments this week which will cause a sensation, Cntral American Troubles Settled. Wasiiisi.ion, April 12 Senor De Peralta, the Minister from Costa Rica, has received a dispatch from the Costa Rein Minister, who says that the Central American troubles are settled. The dispatch gives no details, but Sdnor De Peralta assumes that the fact that Honduras has entered the already strong alliance of States of Costa Rica. Nicarauga and Salvador, and the determined attitude of the Mexican Government against the Barries project of compelling a union of the Central American States have convinced the Guate malan Government that it is the bet' er policy for thera to take no farther steps tu ward forcing the states into a union. (JENE UAL ÖRINT. DU General Condition Thought to 11 Somewhat Better, Though tili Precarious Soothsayers' and Aitrol-g-ers Predictions. New York, April 12. Genera! Grant passed a quiet night with the exception of the fit of coughing with which he was attacked about midnight. He fell into a natural slumber at 4 o'clock this morning, from which he awoke two hours later. Shortly after noon the patient's throat was treated, and he walked into the library, where the doctore applied the medication. At 2 p. m. Drs. Barker, Bands and Bhrady arrived, and they were in consultation fortyfive minutes. Dr. Barker i!d the condition of the General's throat admitted of freer examination than for many days The laryngoscope was used, and by the aid of a g'iorjg light reflected into the throat, the development of the ulcer was noted. The ulceration bis not msde much progress daring the last two days, though there haa bjea a Fraduai increase) dnring the week. The inflammation in the throat is not as pronounced as a! one time. The patient s condition, Dr. Barker thought, was acme n hat

tetter, though it is still precarious. He Is so flencg from weakness and exhaustion. "Is there any reason to fear a speedy fatal termination of tha diseise?" ''Thereisno special cause to fear ix-ore than in the last two or three dajs, though we meet be prepared for emergencies. The following bulletin waa issued at 3 p. m. : General Grant has been very qnist since the fit of coaghlE? lsst nUnt. He has taken hsnoarlsbmtDi restuJ.ryiy and well a usual; pu Ueno sr. 7; lemperature, 93. At the CDnsuluilon jus: fctid (Dr. LatktT. Sands. bnrtdy and DonzUs present) tne treatment pursued was aporoved by all. J. IL Dovftias, M. D. (iEOEGE F. SMEARY, AI. D. Senator Cbaflee and ex Senator Koscoe Conkiing called between a and 1 o'cloci. The latter said the General was quiet, with (to him) co'apparent change aince last Sunday, when he cal'ed. Senator Leland Standford vmteithe house in the afternoon, bringing Mowers When Dr. Newman called ai 1I:: yesterday morning, he entered the library, next to the General's room, and shook hands with Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Sartoris. "Father," called the latter, "Dr. Newman is here;" whereuron the General walked into the library aDd greeted Dr. Newman. lie ren amed a few moments and then returned to his room with the remark that the a:r in the libiary wse too cold for him. The conversation of the household before the General is alwaj s cheerful and pleasant, and family ufairsaLd everyday matten are diseased. fLe General is not delerious. Tbe General's dream has, by letters from iceny &ooth?avers, been interpreted to mean that he will live seventeen diys, as many wetke, and by others as many yeirs; the seventeen being the number of dollars the General bad with which to pay duty on the earchel he Uit on the wrong side of the fence. Thee trologer who prophesied good days and br l one for the General has thus far been rlnt. It was prophesied that if the Genera: turvived March 31 h3 would live until Septoi xbr. That rema ns to be seen. If the pa.ieut lives until summer. Inland Stanford will endeavor to take htm to California In a epecial car. The probib'y pcod results of the western climate oa the General's health has been discussed, Senator Stanford urging that the General would be benefitted thereby. At 9 o'clock to-nigbt, Colonel Fred Grant, speaking cf his father's condition during the day, said that he had couehed a good deal, and had, altogether, a bid day, although the paroxsvsm of Saturday night had not been renewed. Tbe General was very low, but Colonel Grant did not apprehend the end would come to-night. Four days a;o, he said, tbe General, without seeming difficulty, walked fiom the front to the fear of the house, but each day eince he had moved about lesa, and to day when he walked to the rear of the house through the hall he stopped to rest before returning. To be sure, twice during this afternoon, the General had walked into his cflice and remained thera an hour at one time and three-quarters of an hour at another, conversing briefly with thofe who were near. But on one of these occasions, as General Grant left the room acd paseed into the office, he remarked: "I can not stand that," referring to the sweet and pungent odor. Colonel Grant a'ated that his father had not, at any tiaie, been delirious in the eense of impaired mental fseultlfs, bat that he had been mach nadir the inrlunce of morphia for a week, and that in the twenty minutes or half hoar as the influence wai passing off, the General would experience a dreaming, semi-con-sconfcees, doling which he might, and often did recur in broken sentences to dreams that had been extremely vivid daring the inüa ence of tbe anodyne. A casual caller in the room might catch such djointed utterences and regard them as aujt v.dence ofdeliiium, but thcte who were with the General f.ooi the beginning of his awakening to the time the iDrluence p&3ei off entirely, would ba able to follow and folly understand the context and relation of the General's utterances. But Ctlonel Giant staled that before morphia was utcU It's father often talked in his sleep or leml consciousness For instance at one time he spoke in this way and said: General Wheat, which is your regiment' Where are your men?" and Colonel Grant explained that at that time his father tbcughtba was at the batt'e of Shiloh, far General Wheat was there and Genera! Grant thought Le was getting the forces in line atain. This was before morphia was administered to a great cx'eot, Sines the anodyne has been freely ned th? General has had similar illusions, bat while recalling them during the dreamy repo3e of waking from sleep by morphia the recollection is not eo prompt or vivid. A case in point was i l a si t. ay a i r

menucnea oy voionei vrani, tnai tne inna-1 ecca cf the oniat was limine 1 eff cn Friday or Siturday when the General ejaculated: "Its the strangest thing in the world," and there stopred, but at intervals continued to speak until he had thoroughly awakened, and was, as the CoKnel laid, clear as a bell. Then the General explained to Colonel Grant that he thought he was out in Indiana and ws calling at the house of Thomas A. Hendricks. Then he began awakening, and slowly recognized tha furniture ol his own home, when in his dream ha 1 been that of Mr. Hendricks, and then it was that, between sleeping and waking, the General had ejaculated, "It is the atraagost thing in the world." Colonel Grant, when asked last evening if it vas possible to secure tbe General's auto graph, replied that it was an impo's bditv at prreent, and feared it was too lata. The General never wrote except sitting at the desk in his office, and it wr growing more and more wearing to walk to and from the adjoining rooms. Colonel Grant remarked that he had at least :00 pictures and albums waiting for his father' autograph. There were addressed and stamped letters hearing request?, enongh to fill a large dry gocds box, but Colonel Grant dcubted if his father would e'ga anything more, though he might if asked and permit ted by the Hectors. At 10:1") Dr. New wan lett the house and proceeded toward Mad son avenue to take a car. In response to a question, he said: "I expect a very anxious night; General Grant has had a bad day, and I think there has been a recurrence of the coughing. ' Dr. Shrady is in the home, and tbe General is at this moment quietly sleeping. Nxw York, April 1312:30 a. m. General Grant has been troubled during the latter part of the afternoon and the entire evening with an increare of mucous secretion in his throat, and has coughed considerably In consequence. He has also suffered from two attacks of choking, which were attended with difficult breathiag. These were happily relieved by local application and the removal of the phlegm. Us is now dozing in nie chair. After having slept on hit bed tor three hours, his pulse is 72 and temperature normal. G0R.B F. &UP.ADT, 11, D.

FROM ACROSS TIIE SEA.

Terrible Condition or Affairs In the Spanish Provinces EoniarofTd Statements Not Implicitly Believed. Coneldernblo Excitement Over the Royal Visitors In Ireland Their Reception Too Flattering. THE IAN'1) OF THE CID. Spanish Provinces Ptngae-Sttlcken That Terrible Asiatic Scourge, Cholera, Closely Follows the Disastrous Karthnakes. London, April 12 lue Spanish Government is at last forced to admit that it is threatened by another national calamity of the gravest kind. It has tardily admitted that the mysterious disease which made its appearance some weeks ao at San Felipe de Jativa, in Valencia, is Asiatic cholera. This has been maintained from the first by the press and public, but ha been persistently denied by the physicians. The Government officials have chosen to credit the doctors rather than tbe laity, and have hitherto been deaf to all appeals for aid or for the enforcement of sanitary precautions. Now the doctors themselves are appalled at the spread and virulence of the disease, and they are loudest in the cry for help. No further concealment of the facts is attempted, and, in. fact, tecrecy now would be impossible. The cholera has spread from San Felipe de Jativa to Alcira, Villanueva de Alcolea and Manuel, in the province of Valencia, which is on the eastern seaboard of Spain. Thence it has been carried by shipping to Port Geuoves in Almera, at the southeastern c:rner of the peninsula, to Malaga on the Fontbern coast, and even to Mahon on the Island of Minorca, and to other ports in the Bielearic Islands. Tha whole seaboard is seriously threatened. The municipal and provincial authorities are at last aroused to active measures of prevention and relief. Lrzarettos are being hastily provided, rations and supplies of medicine are being distributed to the destitute, and volunteer relief committees are furnishing delicacies and nurses to the sick. There is great destitution among the families of many of the sufferers. The scourge, as usual, cbielly attacks tbe poor, and three who either from poverty or ignorance fail to keep themselves and their surroundsngs clean. But almost every bedy in the places where the disease is most prevalent is poor. The?e very places were ravaged by the earthquakes fast year, and many people lost all their friends and property. Those of the survivors who had means left contributed lioeral y to the relief of tbe others, and thus pinched themselves. Now it is as much as the communities can do to care for thoe already attacked and to nury tbo?e already dead. In view of the wirm and humid K'ison and the approach of summer, tbe tragus is certain to "spread, and if it does not become uncontrollable it will at least become an unbearable tax upon the mcney lesources of the afflicted towns. They are now making pathetic appeals to the Provincial and General Government to send them money, food, clothing, doctors, nurses, and eoldiers to form sanitary cordoLs. Public prajers for tbe plague stricken people are ordered in many churches, and the papers are urging prompt action by the Commissary and taarterrua?ter Departmente. The general public has hitherto been unexcitea by the reports of sickness in Wetcia, having been fooled into calmnets oy the doctors, but when the terrible gravity n' tbe .Mtuntion becomes realized there is likeJy ta be a fierce outburst of indignation. A FttH AX AFFAIRS. General Koroafeff" Statement Weakened by Keports Received vi Austrian Telegraph Htatlons London, April 12 Tbe Aineer, upon leaving Kawjl-Findi, today, orprewed hlmsslf as certain that, while the Afghan's would welcome British aid, tbe native Indian troops would assist in repelling Russian Invasion. The effect of General Komaroff'a detailed statement, which showed that the Afghan's provoked the recant battle, has bden weakened by reports received by way of the Austrian telegraph stations on tbe Itasiiao. frontier. Perydeh was occuoied by Colonel Alikbanoir on the 2d instant. General Koco arorT etties that he was oblietd to occupy Perjdeh in order to stop the pillaging of tbe district by Turkomans, and that the Afghan's had threatened to resume offensive operations. The Russian Minister of War ua sent a congratulatory message to General Knncaroff, and has directe4 him to tlankthe troops. In the name of the Czar, end announce to them that all who took part in the battle will be rewarded accordiDg to their raLk. Homaroff to be Rewarded. Lonpon, April 13 The Diily Telegiaph publishes a dispatch from Berlia, which sta'es that Russia refuses to yield an inc'i of the territory she has occupied on the Afghan frontier, and that the Czar intends to express his approval of General Komaroffi action by appointing him Commander-in-Chief In Turkestan. General KomarofT i Statement. St. Pctersbuhg, April 12. The Official Messenger publishes the following telegram from General Komaroff, dated April 1: On the 2-"th of March our detachment appro ched Dashkapri. When near the bridge we saw an entrenchment occupied by Afghans. In order to avoid a conflict I stationed my troops five versts (a little over three miles) from tbe Afghan position. Ne gotiations with Captain Yate, a member of Sir Pe'er Lumsdea'a force, commenced 01 the 20tb. When the Afghans became convened that we had no intantion of attacking them thev daily drew narer to our camp. On the 27th they dispatched against a company of ours, covering a reconnoitenng party of three companies withafun and seme cavalry. Neil day,

their audacity and arrogance increasing, they occupied a high and commanding position on the left flank of cur camp, made entrenchments, and placed a cavalry post in the rear of our line and a picket within gunshot cd our fort. On the 29th I sent the Afghan commander an energetic summons to vacate the left bank of the Knshk, and he replied that, acting on the advice of the English, he would not retire beyond the Ktshfr. I then sent him a private letter, couched in amicable terms. On the 30th, in order to support my command, I marched with my detachment against the Afghan position, still expecting a pacific issue; but fire from the Afghan artillery, and an atta:k of their cavalry, compelled me to accept a combat. The fit. Petersburg Journal rays that the foregcing statement leaves no question of Russian aggression; that, moreover. Sir Peter Lumeden's second dispatch to the British Government justified General KomarorTs action, and that even Mr. Gladstone has shown a praiseworthy anxiety to atone for tbe ungracious words about Russia which first e:c iped him. Will Avoid lirltlah Ports. Cairo, April 12 The Russian Consal here has ordered the Bu&lan transports Noatroma and Saint Petersburg to proceed to Vladivostok, avoiding all British porta. GEXERAL FOUEIUX XEVTS.

The Visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Dnbliu Disappoints the Nationalists and Pleases the Loyalists. Losr-ON, April 1- The triumph of the Loyalists in securing a suitable Irish welcome to the Prince and Princess of Wales in Dublin Is deemed complete. I can not ba denied that the triumph has deeply angered the Nationalist leaders throughout Ireland, for they apprehend that it will increase the hold of the Loyalist minority upon the British Government and, perhaps, weaken the League cause among the common people of Ireland. There is god reason to believe that the Prince of WaTei will not repeat his Doblin success when he reaches Cork. The Nationalists seem determined to ecore a victory in Cork against Royalty. They are doing their best to vilify their Royal Highnesses and to excite passion against thena among the mob element. I f the Nationalists tail to have the Prince at least coolly received in the Parliamentary borough repretented by Mr. RarneU, ihey will, perhaps, give the contest up. Scones of the humanity and kineness shown by the Prince and Piince.-s to the extreme poor while visiting the slums of Dublin have spread all over Ireland, and have profoundly impressed the Irish peasantry. Financial Depression ant Fear of Cholera In Italy Will Send Thousands of Eml. K rants llere. Loxpok, April 12 An enormous emigration from Italy to America is expected this season, as a result of last year's cholera epidemic. Italy is suffering from an almost unprecedented commercial depression, and all branches of industry show a lassitude which amounts in some trades to almost stagnation. In the rural districts . the depression his canted an almost total failure ef the production of wine and oil, and other crops have suffered a severe check. The strike among the rural laborers at Mantua is growing into J larger proportions daily, ana the authorities restrain the strikers from acts of violence and bloodshed with difficulty. Thus far 170 strikers have been imprisoned. The tyranny of the government in making unwarranted arrests, suppressing or destroying telegrams containing truthful statements of the situation, and seizing all newepapers which are outspoken in I heir protestations against high handed official acts is widely denourced. The treatment meted out to such journals as have given yoice to the existing mitery and denounced tbe acts of the officials is almost unprecedented. The journalis'e are organizing a league for mutual protection egainst the prosecutions which threaten to overwhelm them. Will Not Abandon the Soudan. Cairo, April 12. General Wolseley eaya he has no idea of abandoning his inteutioas to recapture Khaitoum in the autumn. Nubar Pasha, tbe Prioie Minister, has replied to tbe French Arabassadorin regard to the seizure of the Bosphore-Egyptian, 'that he intends to maintain his action, which, he says, is according to precedent and governational law.

Dlelis, April 12 The Triuce of Wales was heard to remark to o guest at the state ball at Dublin Castle Friday night last that he has never been so highly gratified at any public receptions as at those tendered him in Ireland since the first entrance of the Princess Alelxandria, when she came to London as his bride.

Fish f ound Guilty. New York, April 12. The iury in the case of the United States against James D. Fish, President of the Marine National Bank, returned a verdict at 12:20 o'clock Sunday morning. It was that Fish was guilty of misapplication of the funds of the bank of which he was President and Ferdinand Ward was Cashier. There fourteen counts in the indictment, and on eleven counts he was found guilty. The defendant was present with his attorney andEtemed gieatly surprised at the result. He was immediately taken to Ludlow street jiJ, where he occupies the ceil recently vacated by "Becky" Jones. The statute classifies the crime of which the accused was charged into the three acts misapplication of funds, abstraction of futde. and credit and false entries. Fourteen counts of the indictment were fourteen s?i arate rl arges and cal'ei for eo many decisions. The first four counts, whfc1! charged tbe loan cf 10,000. $05,000, 5110,000 and $lGo,C00 to the firm of Grant t Ward, were identical. Except lor the numerical designation of the counts upon which he was convicted, it was impossible to night to tell what they were. Another Man of the Same Name. Lafayette, Ind., April 11. This morning some facts came to light in regard to the box yesterday sent here and and opened by a young man named Shilling, and found to contain the trunk and limbs of a human being, from which the flesh had been removed The box was sent by a student at the Chicago Medical College, and was addressed to the young man who occupies .the sender's property. Henry Rueb, at one time eng tged in the drug bussines here, was the sender, as is ebown in the letter lecsived by Mr. Shilling. Uneb wrote for Shilling to have the box placed in tbe barn, as he expects scon to return to Lafayette, and wou'd then have the bones properly dressed and put together.
