A POPULAR REVOLT.
Nicaragua Insurgents Backed

The Leaders Compelled to Decline
Recruits Through a Lack of
Fighting Naterial.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

PANAMA, May 16.-A correspondent in
San Juan del Sur has just sent message
by cable in which he says that the uprising
against President Sacaza is the most popu-
lar movement that has ever been started
In Nicaragua. The revolutionists are
carrying everything before them, and
all the departments except two are now
controlled by them. In some of these de-
partments nearly every citizen has Joined
the revolution, leaving Sacaza without sup
porters. Thousands of volunteers have
been rejected by the revolutionary leaders
because they did not have arms with which
to bid them fight for the cause. Half the
organized revolutionary army is armed
with maehetes.
Perfect order prevails In the revolution
ary camp. Sacaza's soldiers are easily
frightened. A party OF those quartered in
Managua were carousing one night and
several of them fred indiscriminately in
the streets. The soldiers in the camp be-
lieved the revolutionists had begun an
assault upon the town and returned the
fire. The cross fire was continued for fully
half an hour between the Government

after several OF their men had been killed.
+ Then the firing ceased, but. strangely
enough, a similar fight took place on the
following night with even more bloody
results. More than twenty Government t
soldiers were killed in the fight on the
second night.
Business is paralyzed in Managua. The
banks are closed and telegraphic and rail
communication is interrupted Great
activity is being shown by the revolu-
tionary and Government leaders in pre-
pairing for a decisive battle, which, it is
expected, will take place near Barranga.
Managua is now held by President
Sacaza. VINO has behind him $500 soldiers.
Jinotepe is the advance post of the revolu-
tionists. 1t is held by 500 men, but the
revolutionists have a fighting force of 1000
other soldiers within short distance.

New YORK, May 16.-A double-leaded
Washington dispatch to the Sun says
that new rulings are contemplated
preliminary to the complete recogniza-
tion of the working force of the
several departments. In the case of
the Treasury especially this seems more

reason why so few departmental changes
have been made. Those that have been
made are on the line consistent with the
new rules that are said to be preparing.
Cleveland, it is reported. contemplates

CH ICAGO, May 16-There were lively
times to-day in several different meetings,

Senator Mitchell Believes in Enforc-
ing the Law.

PORTLAND. May Ex-senator Mitchell
was very decided to-day in his convictions
that the Geary law should be Immediately
and firmly enforced. In regard to the ac-
ton of the Supreme Court. the Senator
said: The action of the Supreme Court in
sustaining the constitutionality of the
Geary law was in accordance with the
ciearest precepts of law and most proper
and commendable. The authority of Con-
gress to pass such laws is unqueslionable.
The President should enforce the act as
far as the machinery of the law will per-
init. While there is money to use itshould
be applied TO the purpose for which it was
intended"
SAN BERNARDINo. May 16.-The Chi
nese OF this city appear to take very little
interest in the Geary law. and seem to
think that the Six Companies will take
good care of them.

WORKING OUT HOME RULE.
Gladstone Strikes Stumbling Block
in the Veto Power.

LONDON. May l6.-The Commons re-
sumed consideration of the Irish hOme-rule
bill in committee to-day. Hon. St. John
Broderick moved TO amend the bill SO as TO
empower the crown to veto any act of the
Irish Parlament, in response to an ad-
dress by the imperial Pariiament.
Prime Minister Gladstone opposed the
amendment. he said that just as the acts
of the British Legislature were subject to
restraint through the intervention of the
crown, so the acts of the Irish Legislature
would be subject to restraint on the inter-
vention of the Viceroy. Balfour suggested
that the final decisions of the point be de-
ferred until a later stage in the bill, but the
mover of the amendment declined u a-LSse

Special to THE MORNING CALL

PARIS May 16.-Sir Charles Russell re-
sumed his argument to-day in behalf Of
the British case before the Bering Sea
tribunal. Sir Charles argued that the selZ-
ures OF British vessels in Bering Sea were
not Justltiable, and reviewed at length the
origin and nature of the rights transferred
by Russia TO the United States in 1867.
Slr Charles claimed the uKase of 1873, in
which Russia asserted jurisdiction over her
SUBJECTS on ali hunting grounds and estab-
lishments on the coast of America. from
the htty-fflh degree north latitude TO
Bering Strait, thence southwark to Japan,
and On the Aeutan, Kurile and other
Islands in all the northeastern ocean, ap-
plled only to Russian subjects. The ukass
OF 1921, in which the Car laid claim to
exclusive jurisdiction over the northwest
coast OF America down to the fifty-frst
degree south, together with a considerable
portion OF the opposite coasts Of Asia
ana neIghborng seas TO the extent
ot lVo nautical miles from any part
OF tie coast and the Intervening islands so
appropriated had. Sir Charles pointed out,
elected earnest protests both from Great
Britain and the United States, and subse-
quent treaties recognized the pretensiOns
OIL Russia TO exclusive jurisdiction over
the waters OF the Bering Sea as untenable.
hence tie hight derived from Russia by
the United States was merely to an ordi-
nary property right in the soil, not in the
seals.
Sir Charles endeavored to prove from
the language used in the negotiations he
tween Russia, England and the United
States That Great Britain had ever de-
parted from her objection to Russia's
claim to exclusive jurisdiction in Bering
Sea, and that Berng Sea was not mare
clausum, but that all nations had right
TO free navigation in that sea. Incidentally
he REQUIRED to the forged interpolatIons in
the Russian documents to sustain the
American case, He said that he was sorry

Some Orders Issued From Madrid

MADRID. May l6.-An official statement
has been issued concerning the reception
o. the lnfanta Eulalia in the United States.
1t says that the Spanish Government re-
garded it as offensive to American cour-
tesy that any negotiations should be made
in advance as to the reception in the
United States. The royal guests were in
vited by the American people to attend the
Worlds Fair unsolicited. but an intima-
tlOn has been given by the Washington
Government that the Infanta. as the repre-
sentative of the Queen of the nation that
discovered America, would be received
with the highest honors. This statement
is made in view OF the many rumors now
current concerning the difficulties in ar
ranging the details OF the Infanta's visit
