WARNER APPEALS FOR FAIR PLAY
The Court Adjourns and the Clerks Hold
an Indignation Meeting.

The sight of him standing stopped the
rush DR. Shaeffer directed Mr.. Warner to
| take his seat, but the latter refused, and
raising his voice managed to make himself
heard His first words brought quiet.
This outbreak of feeling must be sup
pressed" he said. Not by the strong
| hand of the law, but by the hand of fra
ternity. [Applause.l l appeal to you to
| have fair play as American citizens and
| not to stain the fair name of the glorious
| capital of the republic. 1 appeal to you in
the name of the Master who reigns
above"
The crowd fell into Mr.. Warmers way of
thinking and cried, yes" He saw his
advantage, and made an appeal to let the
question of allowing Colonel Ainsworth
to remain to be settled by cool heads.
When he took his seat, however, there
were more threatening mutterings, and at
$50 D. m. DR. Shaeffer quickly adjourned
the inquest until 10 O'Clock this morning.
,, The department clerks stood about the
hall talking excitedly over the incident.
Colonel Ainsworth sat in his chair for a
minute and then walked quietly out of
the building through a side door connected
with Wizards hotel. When the hall was
emptied the excited language of the clerks
continued ON the sidewalk, and finally

NEW YORK, June 13.-A special to The
World from Managua. Nicaragua, says:
The landing of marines and sailors from
the American warship Atlanta, who es-
tablished camp near the village of Santa
Fe, close to the canal, has caused the great
est excitement, even exceeding that which
prevailed during the last revolution or up
on the overthrow of Sacasa. The agita-
ton has extended to all classes who fear
that the United States is taking possession
of the country and the passive attitude OF
the government is severely commented up
on, even called treacherous.
The explanation of the American Off
Gals that they merely landed forces in
order to protect the property and works
was considered subterfuge for such war
like preparations the landing of troops
without warning, placing artillery and
Hotchkiss guns in position, preparing the
place to withstand seige, bringing to shore
large quantity of supply and camp
eouipage seems to indicate a long stay.
Crowds from this city went to Santa Fe
to see Los Americanitos, - as the invaders
are called, and it is feared thal unless
some precautions are taken or a salts
factory explanation is given serious
trouble may arise.
A large deputation of citizens has been
chosen to demand an explanation from the
government. 1t was rumored that Gen
eral Montiel went to Santa Fe to demand
an explanation from the American Off
GERS there, but this was n OF generally cred
tied as it is known that the American
minister was closeted with the cabinet for
more than an hour. There is a report here
that the rest of the Central American gov
ernments viii! protest against this action
of the United States. \ late rumor is that
the United States troops will be with
draw.
