NOT ENTITLED TO MoIETY.
A Decision by Secretary Carlisle Against Ihas
of Six of His Predecessor

n
of Six of His Predecessors
Secretary Carlisle today set aside the decisions
of six of his predecessors and determined that
the statute of 1874. known as the anti-moiety
act, except in cases of smuggling, debars all
officers of the United States from receiving
a moiety or informer's share of a fine on &C
count of information given in reference to the
violations of the statutes.
The subject came up through the collector
of customs at Cape Charles City asking that
fines imposed on ten oyster boats for .
technical violation of the law be RENTED.
transmitting at the time the
claim of Lieuts Daniels and Henderson
of the revenue cutter Crawford for moiety in
connection with the seizure of the oyster ves-
sells. The vessels at the time of seizure were
lying at anchor at 0nancock, Va, and had no
lights displayed.
Secretary Carlisle referred the matter to the
Attorney General, who gave il as his opinion
that an officer of the revenue marine service
was debarred from receiving q moiety or in.
formers share, and the Secretary Of the Ireas'
ury adopted this opinion.

THE STONE CUTTERS. STRIKE.
The Bosses Say They Have Secured Men Il
Other Cities.

Other Cities.
Speaking Of the stonecutters' strike now on
in the District leading member of the
Master Stonecutters' Association stated
to STAR reporter this after
noon that last month the men employed by
them notified the bosses that they de.
manded that but two apprentices be
employed in each yard. and that they also
demanded weekly payments Last week
he stated, the men made another de-
mand, that no stone mason or set
ters Of stone be employed in the yards.
These, be explained, were the grounds
of the strike, which had 50 far affected fifteen
yards. Finding it necessary to send for outside
men, the Master Stonecuter's Association
had advertised for them, and at
meeting Of the association yesterday afternoon
the members were informed that 100
men in Newark, Philadelphia and other
places had answered, and. having
here in day or two. and rs many
more as might be needed would come
on later. These men, on Their arrival,
will form what is known as protective union.
whereby they would be projected and wages
kept at the present rates. No retaliatory
measures. as published. decided to be
taken against any one. and none would, the
porter's informant stated.
The reporter was further informed that the
real ground of the strike was he demand of
their union should be employed by the
bosses to set stone. Stone is usually set by
stone masons. it was stated. and they having
been taken into the Brcklayers'
Union, or given b-ickiayers cards the
bricklsyers had refused to back up stone set
by any one not a stone mason. This placed
the master stonecutters between two fires and
thay had decided to stand firm and not
accede to the demands OF their men. 1t was
stated that local stonecutters formed but minor
ity their union being controlled by stonecutters
from other cities temporarily employed here,
and the master stonecutters believe that If left
to themselves the Washington men would
never have made any such demands. Belong
ing to the union. they were, however, forced
to go with the majority.
WHAT THE MEN SAY.
member of the Stonecutters' Union said
today that the bosses would not be able to get
any union men to work for them.
They might get scabs. 1t was reported today
that the men in Callaghan's yard mad returned
to work, their employers had consented to
pay them weekly.
Mr.. Veihmeyer said today, in relation to the
report that the bosses union intended to adopt
retaliatory measures against him for
accedinG to the demands of the
men, that the only concession he
made was to agree to pay the men the money
he owed them when they wanted it. II he
owed a man he considered that he was under
obligations to pay him when he asked for it.

THE NICARAGUAN REVOLUTION.

Its Success.
THE GOVERNMENT ovERTHRowN AND THE REvo-

AND THE NIcARAGUAN cANAL-THK ATLANrA's
DEPARTURE TO BE FASTENED.

All NICARAGUA lS success, ana tnat the rovOlu-
tionists are now practically in control Of the
government.
DR.. Guzman. the Nicaraguan minister, has
received similar advices, so it is understood.
He had long conference with Secretary
Gresham at the State Department on the su b.
ject this morning. They exchanged informa-
ton.
THE GOVERNMENT OVERTHROW.
Secretary Gresham refused to make public
the kilograms received at the State Department,
but from other sources it was learned that
the Nicaraguan government has been over
thrown and that the revolutionists were in pos
session of the capital and the Nicaragua canal.
with every indication of their ability to hold
them against the weak and demoralized forces
Of the government.
According to these advices the revolutionists
have taken charge Of all the ships, boats and
plant OF the canal company. but 40 far as known
have made no effort to destroy them.
TO HASTEN THE ArIANTA's DEPARTURE.
In view OF the serious turn of affairs and the
immediate necessity for the protection of the
lives and property of citizens of this coun-
try in the vicinity of the canal, supplemental
orders were today sent to the commanding
officer Of the U. S. s. Atlanta to hasten the de-
parture Of that vessel to Greytown, the port
HcdItst 70 Tue scene OF the uOuDle. OtQer YES
sells will also be sent if found necessary.
NO APPREHENSION FELT.
No apprehension is felt in official circles
that the new rulers of Nicaragua will fail to
protect American interests. They will naturally
seek to obtain early recognition from
the United States, and this con-
sideratiOn, aside from international
obligations. it is believed. will prompt them to
adequately, protect the lives and property of
citizens of this country and also to observe with
good faith all contracts and concessions of the
former government.
WHAT THE REvoLUT1ON1sTs HAVE DONE.
The revolutionists have captured six of the
principal cities and are gradually taking pos
session Of everything. They are strong in
numbers and powerful in leaders. and it is said
that they have outgeneraled the government
forces at every point.
TIE ALLIANCE ORDERED TO GO AT ONCE.
Orders were issued this afternoon for the u.
s. s. Alliance. at San Francisco, to proceed at
once to Corinto, on the west coast of Nicara-
qua, to assist in the protection Of American
interests. The Alliance is the only vessel on
the Pacific station available for this service.
What Secretary Herbert Says.
NEW YORK, May 11.-Secretary Herbert will
return to Washington on the midnight train
tonight with his daughter, Miss Herbert.
The Secretary said that he did not anticipate
any serious trouble in Nicaragua, although the

TIE JUDGES DECISION.
Judge Miller, in disposing of the case, said he
was not sitting to hear the case, but as an ex-
aiming magistrate he only 10 hear proof
and determine whether or not the
government had made out a prima facie case.
The judge explained his duty examining
magistrate and then spoke of the allegations OF
perjury Us set forth in the warrant.
The question of whether Lieut.. Gessford was
drunk or not on that day depends upon the
truth of the witnesses, said the judge. and that
question he was not going TO pass upon. One
fact shown, said the judge. was that the wit
nesses who swore that Gessford was drunk had
some trouble with him.
And. after all. said the Judge what does
the whole thing amount to? We have the 4th
of March. one of the coolest DAYS we have ever
experienced, and day when 1t was almost
physical lmpossibility for a man
TO have done duty on the street all day. II is
an extremely unfortunate thing for the police
department that this case should ever have
reached tins court. l know both men. and
know them as good officers"
Tine court referred to the roll boo; which was
produced In court and said that there
was no marked evidence of failure on
part Of the lieutenant to perform his
duty. He also thought that the sergeant went
out OF the line OF his authority when he wen,
in the lieutenants room aud looked over the
! book with Dunnigan. Until that fact wa.
shown the judge said he had doubt as to whethe,
he would hold the defendant or rot but h,
| could not see how. under the circumstan noes. he
| could do anything other than hold tn,
defendant for the grand jury, and he hoped
that when the case is fully heard it will SHOW
