WORK STOPS IN NICARAGUA.
The Canal Company Out of Funds
And Unable to GO On.

New York, July l3.-The Tribune will
say in the morning: "The Nicaraguan
Canal Construction Company is out of
funds and has stopped all work upon the
Nicaragua canal. For some time it has
been runored that the company has been
affected by the general stringency in the
money market, and it has also become
known that there are some international
dlssensions in the company, and that
there has been great disappointment that
the management has failed to obtain loans
from this country and FROM England
Yesterday the officers admitted that work
on the canal had been stopped
They said that the failure to go
ahead with the work was due simply
and solely to the failure to raise
money, and they hadno much doubt that
when affairs had become settled work
would go on. For the present. how
ever, their vast plant in Central
America will remain idle. 1t had
been intimated that the stoppage of
construction had been due partly to polit-
ical trouble and revolution in Central
America. Those changes would, how
ever, have caused comparatively little
trouble had the company been supplied
with funds to go ahead with the work.

a Renewal or the Row reared When
the Wounded Man Receivers.
Albany, Ga. July 13.-From a gentle
man from BlaBely in the city to-day the
MORNING NEWS correspondent learned
that the people of that town expect a re-
newal ofhostilities between Editors How
ard and Robinson as soon as the former
recovers from his wound Explanatory
cards Of the origin Of the difficulty have
been given out by both gentle
men, but they have only complicated
the situation and render an amicable adj
justment Of the trouble less easy. From
the information ct hand it seems that the
personal" which was the direct cause Of
the difficulty was published not because
of the editors appreciation of its
propriety but in order to administer
a thrust to two citizens of the town who.
it is said, were responsible for the pres
ence of the women. Howard claims
that Robinsons prime motive in de-
nouncing him was the stand he (Howard)
had taken in Il recent masonic trial when
he had pleaded for charity for the ac-
cusnd brother against Robinson s wishes
Both men are highly connected and it is
feared that their trouble will result in a
factional feud.

Washington, July 13.-Brig. Gen. Thorn
as Lincoln Casey, chief of engineers of
the United States army, to-day planted
himself squarely upon the ancient Van
derbilt platform and announced to repre-
sentatives of the press that no informa-

reports of the engineer officers upon river
and harbor works Reports and esti-
mates have been pouring in upon the en-
gineering bureau of the war department
for some time past covering the most i'm
portant government engin-
eering works in the country
Reports have been received in regard to
surveys ordered by congress, expressing
the views of engineer officers of the gov
ernment as to whether the proposed
works surveyed are of sufficient irnpor-
tance to be undertaken These reports
haveheretofore always been made pub
lie, and the people in the localities Gov
cred by the operations look forward to
them with interest, as they naturally de-
sire to know what progress has been
made in the works and what further
operations are contemplated toward the
completion of the projects. They are
all, of course, matters of public record.

bulk of 100000 words or more, they are

tracts from these reports, taken in detail
as they are presented, would be interest

the country. Gen. Casey. however,
absolutely refused to permit any portion
Of them to be divulged. An appeal from
his decision will be taken to Secretary
Lamont, as soon as he returns to the
city, and the secretary of war will pro-
badly overule Mr.. Casey, as two or three
of his predecessors have done in similar
matters, but by the time this result is
reached, congress will be in session and
the information will have lost a great
part of its interest, value and availability

r1LLMAN,s CRUSADE.
Arrests Of vioIators of the Dispenaary
Law to Begin To-day.

Charleston, S. c., July 13.-No arrests
have as yet been made by the governors
spies under the Evans liquor law, al
though the presence here Of the assistant
attorney general of the state and the fact
that he has been closetcd all day with an
administra tion trial Justice, would iudi-
cate that the governor is about to start
the machinery in motion to crush the me
tropolis of the state.
The town council of Mt. Pleasant has
called a mass meeting for tomorrow
night to take legal steps to squelch the
state bar-rOom opened in that village.
1t transpires to-day that the governor
has written officially to several of his
friends in this city offering them SO for
every case they make out of violation of
the law. The liquor dealers are at the
same time prepared with their counsel aud
with bail bonds to meet the fight, The
indications are that upward of fifty ar
rests will be made tomorrow
TWO DIsPEEsABIEs CLOSED.
Temporary iniunctious, closing the
Greenyille and Walterboro dispensaries,
were to-day granted by Judges Norton
and Aldrich. Papers are being prepared
in other counties to secure temporary in
functions, to be followed by an effort to
make them permanent on allega-
tions solely Of irregularity in
the appointment Of dispensers. The
constitutional fight will be left
to an appeal from Judge IIud-
sons decision in the Darlington
case to the supreme court If Judge
Hudsons decision is sustained South
Carolina will have the most rigid prohi-
bition in the world, for then liquor could
not be obtained in cases Of sickness nor
alcohol for druggists prescriptions, nor
wine for the communion table. The cele-
brated Evans act opens with prohibi-
ton of the sale or manufacture of liquor
save through the state dispensary.
Judge Hudson decides the prohibition
feature to be constitutional and the dis
pensary feature unconstitutional.

NO CHOLERA IN EGYPT.

The Cases Referred to Were in Tor

London, July 13.-A dispatch from Al
exandria, Egypt, states that the report
from that city yesterday to the effect
that there were IS cholera patients in the
hospital there and that 40 deaths had oc-
CURED from the disease, was erroneous.
No cholera is reported anywhere in
Egypt. The place whore the 50 cases
and 40 deaths were reported
was Tor, small town Of Arabia
Petrca, on the east shore Of the gulf Of
Suez. A number Of Mecca pilgrims are
quarantined at for, and it is among them
that the disease has broken out. The
statement that the disease had appeared
in Alexandria was probably due to the
dropping of the name Of Tor from the
telcgraphic despatch.
