New YORK, June ia Worlds Mex
leo special says: A Mexican fiDancier
says the downfall OF the Sacaza Govern
ment in Nicaragua appears to have be-
have behind it the intrigue of foreign in
forests hostile to the continuance of
American control in the Nicaraguan Ship
Canal. When the canal began little at
tention was paid to it, but now it is likely
to be successful the European Govern
ments wish to have a voice in its control.
Minister GuZman, who represented the
late Government of President Sacaza at
Washington, favors an American pro-
tectorate in Nicaragua, but it seems to us
the moral influence of the United States
In Nicaragua is sufficient to maintain the
status quo. The Americans will not per-
NIT the successful revolutionists in Near
aqua to adopt policy hostile not only to
American but Mexican interests. If the
new Government in Nicaragua cancels
the canals concessions there will be seri-
GUS trouble and Sacaza may return to
power.
The landing of marines and sailors
from the American warship Atlanta, who
have established a camp near the village
of Santa Fe, close to the canal, has caused
the greatest excitement here, even ex-
ceeding that which prevailed during the
late revolution or upon the overthrow of
Sacaza. The agitation has extended to all
classes, who fear the United States is tax
ing possession of the country, and the
passive attitude of the Government is
severely commented upon and even
called treachery.
The explanation of American officials
that they merely landed their forces to
protect canal property and works was
considered a subterfuge, for such warlike
preparations as the landing of troops
without warning, placing artillery and
Hotchkiss guns in position, preparing
the place to Withstand siege, bringing
ashore large quantity of supplies and
camp equipage, seem to indicate long
stay.
Crowds from the city went to Santa Fe
to see Los Americanitos," as the in
vaders are called, and it is feared that I'M
less some precautions are taken or salts
factory explanation given serious trouble
may result. The rabble, which composes
'AN S4S0'OA paw Va INC CIOWu, IL learIully
enraged, and considers the act as hos
tile invasion. Incited by conservatives,
principally by the clergy, these people
say the new Government has sold the
country to the Americans, that this is
only the first step toward taking DOS
session and that a number of other
American warships with achievements
aboard are on the way.
There is a report here that the rest of
the Central American Governments will
protest against this action of the United
States. A late rumor is that the United
States troops will be withdrawn. Activ-
ity has been noticed in the camp as if
some move was premeditated. The
United States Minister has gone to Santa
Fe.

BORDEN MURDER TRIAL.
The Prosecution Have Thus Far Pr

The Prosecution Have Thus Far Pre-
scented a Weak Case.
FALL RIVER Mass, June 1l.-All day
long talk has been plentiful on the Bor-
den murders. 1t is the general opinion
that the prosecution thus far have pre-
scented very weak case. The opinion is
strengthened by rumors current here to
the effect that Lizzie Borden's counsel
will shortly explode bombshell into the
camp of the authorities. Defendants
lawyers do not attempt to disguise joy
full feeling because Of the present status
of the case, and the girls friends here are
jubilant. The Ratchet incident, with the
accompanying denials, is a source of
much comfort. But while the prisoners
friends are buoyant, the spirits of the po-
lice authorities are by no means down
cast.

DISASTROUS STORM IN MEXICO.

Every Building In the Town of Puach-

PUEBLO Mex, June 1.-THE most
disastrous storm that ever visited this
part of Mexico is reported from the town
of Puachematla, this State. The entire
town was destroyed, every residence and
building in the place being swept away
by the terrific wind. The town had a
population of about 1900 people, all of
whom were made homeless. About thirty
persons were injured, but no fatalities are
reported. The storm also destroyed
crops in that section. Owing to the re-
mote location of the town but meager
particulars of the extent of the damage
have been received,

The Theft of Bolt of Cloth Causing
Amusing Complications.
There are two tailors in Washington
who do not live very far from each other
who are now involved in the settling OF a
question of equity which is somewhat
taxing their ingenuity. 1t happened
some weeks ago, as related by the Post.
that couple of young negroes, WELL
dressed and apparently respectable, came
into Tailor A's store and one asked to be
measured for a suit of clothes. His part
ner stood around while the measuring was
going on, with light overcoat thrown
over his arm, and at the conclusion of the
performance when the cloth was picked
out the young fellow was told that he
would have to leave deposit before the
clothes could be cut. He said he did not
have the money with him at the time, but
would come down with it that afternoon,
and left the store with his companion.
Soon after the two were gone I ailor A
discovered that the handsome piece of
cloth out of which the clothes were to
have been cut was gone also, and rightly
concluded that it had been spirited away
under the spring overcoat of the other
colored boy.
On the same day that the cloth disap-
peared from Tailor A's store, the same
two young negroes made their appear
ance at his friends shop and asked how
much it would cost to have a suit of
clothes cut from a bolt of cloth that they
had with them carefully wrapped up.
They told straight story about having
bought it at auction, and a bargain was
struck, time being also set for coming in
to have the new garments tried on. With
in few days, however, Tailor A hap
pened into Tailor BIS shop and was very
much taken aback to see his piece of
cloth made up into nice suit and lay
ing on his friends counter. They jointly
and severally laid for those enterprising
young negroes, but they must have taken
the alarm and flown, for nothing was
heard of them afterward, and now the
two tailors are trying to find way to
square accounts between themselves as
to how much interest each has In the suit
Of made-up clothes.

NEWPORT (R. H., June 1.-THE sloop
Navahoe sailed to-day for England, there
to try her speed against the English
yachts. She has already become famous
on this side for being craft upon which
innumerable changes had to be made be-
fore she could be said to be in sailing
trim. The secrecy under which she was
built and launched, and the dumbness of
her owner, Royal Phelps Carroll, all as
sisted in bringing prominently out both
yacht and owner. Hundreds of yachts
in the harbor accompanied the NayaLoe
some distance seward.
