TROUBLE is BREWING
UNCLE SAM MAY HAVE A RUMPUS
IN NICARAGUA.
Foreign Interests Behind an In
trigue Which is Hostile to the Con-
tinuance of American Control Of
the Canal.

City Of Mexico, June 1.-THE Mexican
Financier says: "The downfall Of the
Sacaza government in Nicaragua appears
to have behind it an intrigue Of foreign
interests, hostile to the continuance of
American control in the Nicaraguan ship
canal, an enterprise purely American in
it's inception and sustained entirely by
American capital When the canal was
begun little attention was paid to it,
but now that it is likely to be successful
European governments wish to have a
voice in it's control But before they Sc
cure a share in that control or that pre-
dominance therein, they will have to
fight for it, for the United States gov
eminent cannot afford to allow Europe to
have any management in a waterway
designed primarily for the use Of the
nations of this hemisphere, and it is not
for the interest of Mexico that, the revo-
lutionists in Nicaragua should intrigue
against continental policy in Nicaragua.
Americans should not mix themselves mp
in the stormy politics of Central America,
but they will not permit the successful
revolutionists in Nicaragua to adopt
policy hostile not only to American but
Mexican interests. If the new govern
ment in Nicaragua cancels the canal
company's concession there will be seri-
GUS trouble, and Sacaza may return to
power"

WANTED THEIR LIVES
SIX NEGROES NEARLY KILLED nv
LAMONT STRIKERS.
More BlOOdshed Narrowly Averted
at the Scene Of the Fatal Fight of
Friday at the Big Drainage Canal
in Illinois.

Lemont, Ill, June 12.-It was only be-
cause six negroes could run faster than
600 white men that there was no blood
shed in the streets Of Lemont yesterday.
Six Of the colored workmen employed
at Lockers camp on the drainage canal,
where the fighting took place Friday
night, came strolling into town. The
streets were filled with strikers who
were quiet and orderly until somebody
said: ''See the niggers." In one second
a crowd of men rushed for the negroes,
who were fully as prompt in rushing
away. The crowd of strikers soon num-
bered into the hundreds and bowling,
bloodthirsty mob chased the negroes
through the streets. Three of them
managed to escape to the camp of the
Second infantry, where they were safe
but the other three were caught. A
wild mob surrounded them, and cries of
kill Them" and throw them into the
canal" met with decided approval. Mayor
Mccarthy and several police officers man
aged, after desperate effort, to get
the men away from the crowd, but not
before they had been badly beaten and
nearly stripped of their clothing. Two
of them were locked up for carrying
weapons, and the third was escorted out
of town and advised not to return.
Gen. Orendorf was present at big
meeting between several Of the leading
strikers and the contractors, but no agree
ment could be reached, the men demand
ing concessions which the contractors
positively refused to grant. The bosses
claimed that they would be able to re-
sumo work if their men were protected
It was agreed that they should make an
attempt to start up to-day. The infantry
is now stationed at different places for
ten miles along the canal, and will re-
main as long as there IS likelihood of
trouble.

IN DISTRESS.

Chicago, June 12.-Early this morning
the steamer Muskegon, Of the Goodrich
line, became disabled three miles off
Evanston, and about twelve miles north
of Chicago. In reply to her whistles of
distress the life saving crew from Ev-
anston was sent to her assistance and
the tugs Mosier and Willis were sent
from Chicago. The lights Of the vessel
could be plainly seen from the short at
Evanston and she is not thought to be
in immediate danger, although it is i'm
possible at the present time to ascertain
the nature of the injury. The Muskegon
is wooden side-wheel steamer of 61S
tons burden, 1913 feet long and was
built in 1871. She is used mainly for
freight and passenger traffic between
Lake Michigan ports. Her present crew
numbers about twenty-five men, and she
has on board about sixty passengers.

COMING TO AMERICA.

London, June 12.-James Gilbert, the
dynamiter recently released from Port
land prison because he was thought to
be near death, sailed on the American
line steamer Chester from Southampton
yesterday. Three physicians certified
that the sea voyage would probably pro-
hong his life. In an interview yester-
day Gilbert said that he intended during
his sojourn in the United States to d.
rect the Washington governments atten-
ton to the pitiable condition of Ameri-
cans imprisoned at Portland. Gallagher,
he said, had become popelessly insane,
and DAILY was dying slowly. Other po-
litical prisoners were threatened with in
sanity.

CATTLE POISONED.

Rutland, VT, June 12.-For several
days past number of blooded Jersey
cattle belonging to the herd of United
States Senator Redfeld Proctor, out on
pasture, have mysteriously disappeared
one by one. The superintendent of the
farm then went to marshy place where
the cattle were accustomed to 60 for
water, and scattered around were ten
Of the missing animals dead 1t is the
general belief that the cattle were
poisoned. The loss to Senator Proctor
will be several thousand dollars.

WORSE THAN DYNAMITE.

Hoopdedoodenoo! The Advertiser
has made a discovery. 1t is of an
alleged curiosity in journalism.
There was summary of the con-
tents of the Californian for June in
Saturdays BULLETIN, which contain
ed no reference to "An Open Letter"
on the Hawaiian situation. From
this omission the Advertiser de-
ducts all sorts of surmises. 1t even
indulges in the risky pastime of
guessing at the authorship of said
open letter. Who "Allan Dare" the
signer of the article, is this journal
does not know by his real name.
How we came to omit mention Of
the letter is easily told. The review
of contents of the magazine in ques-
tion came to us in printed form in
an envelope by mail, just as it was
copied in this paper without curtail-
ment or amendment of any kind.
An apprentice typesetter wanted a
piece of reprint copy and that maga-
zine notice was all that the editor
had handy for him at the moment.
1t was noticed that there was no
mention of the open letter, but the
magazine was at the editors house
and, as he had not read but a few
lines of the letter, he preferred to
leave it for special mention later.
The omission of paragraph about
the open letter in the review made
by the publishers of the magazine
for the benefit of lazy editors is a
marvellous circumstance truly, but ii
probably excites nobody but the

Hosting Accident.

While safe was being hoisted up
the grand staircase of the Executive
building, just before the meeting of
the Councils this afternoon, part of
the purchases yielded and the safe
turned over two or three times with
thunderous crashes. President Dole
and Ministers Smith and King with
the reporters rushed out of the
Council chamber, fully expecting to
see the results of serious accident.
Happily nobody was hurt, but two
native workmen had a narrow es-
cape. When they saw the safe be-
gin its gyrations they leaped over
the banisters. The safe lodged on
the middle landing. 1t probably
cracked some of the stairs, which be-
ing carpeted could not be examined.
w. FL. Hoogs, who was superintend-
ing the work, was almost dazed at
the mishap. He was watching oper-
ations from the head of the stairs
when it hapDenod.
