dissolved and young Heydenfeldt went to

fession, and. to a certain extent, his mind
has been affected. About three weeks ago
he went to New York, and was stricken

The Japanese feet approached at full
speed until within range. Then they ad-
vanced in columns forming into two lines.
Nine ironcIad cruisers formed the fighting
line, while three gunboats and five tor

commenced forthwith.
The guns on both sides were worked un-

infreouent. The japanese crept close,

out of action. One Chinese officer de-
clared that he saw her sink.
In the meantime the two big guns on the
Chen Yuen were disabled, and the
other ships showed signs of damage. Both
fleets were under easy steam, the japanese
maneuvering while the Chinese held their
original positions. Suddenly two of the
Japanese cruisers sought to break through
the Chinese line on the starboard side.
Three torpedo-boats swiftly pursued them.
The Chin Yuen and Chang Yuen went at

NEW ORLEANS Sept. 20.-The Associ-
ated Press correspondent in BIuefslds,
under date of Septem ber Is, says:
This is the independence day of Nicara-
qua, and II brings this land one day closer
to the certain civil war which will play
havoc with prosperity for while. Blue
fields has enjoyed a municipal election and
officers have been elected, but martial law
exists Ter the simple reason that the Mic
araguans attempted to elect Americans to
office without even taking the trouble to
consult those Americans.
Madriz had stated that any successful
candidate who refused to serve in the Of
fee TO which he had been elected would
be fined $50 day throughout the entire
term of Office, but the determined stand of
Captain ONeill compelled Madriz to
ignore bis own decree. Eugene Landrick
and DIR. Paul Austerhouse were those who
rejected the honor, and called upon Cap
tain O'Neill to protect them, which he did,
On September the English cruiser Mo
hawk arrived and notified Captain O'Neill
that he had on board the exiled residents
and two Americans-Sam hampton of New
Orleans and Captain w. r. Banks of Phil
adelphia. The Mohawk carried several
dispatches from Minister Baker to Captain
Sumner. In one of these letters President
Cleveland is quoted as saying that the two
Americans should be given fair and hon.
est trial at once or they would have to be
released.
Captain O'NeilI willingly rendered these
Americans quarters on his ship. News
that other exiles were on the English
cruiser had spread rapidly in Bluefelds,
and the greatest excitement prevailed.
Those at Government headquarters were
dumfounded, and scarcely knew what to
expect. Several sailing vessels headed
for the open sea at once with friends and
families of the exiies on board.
An accident occurred which proves the
policy adopted by Captain Sumner to be a
wise one. When it was found impossible
to leave Bluefelds before the 18th, the men
under General Reyes, and even General
Reyes himself. expected an attack from
marines from the Columbia and Marble
head. Two three-inch Krupp guns were
run out 10 suitable positions and 800 men
hidden away among the plants on shore as
sharpshooters. The prisoners at this time
were uuartered in q small building behind
the custom-house.
During the forenoon of August II sew
eral soldiers were seen to lash two ten
pound cans of gunpowder together and
attach a fuse. This deadly instrument
was then taken to the building where the
prisoners were quartered and placed in the
room. An officer was stationed by the
powder with Instructions to set ire to the
fuse when the fight began.
When they boarded the Yulu on the
evening of August II the p1wder was
carried along and placed near where the
prisoners were stationed and again when
they were taken to San Juan del Norte
the powder had a prominent position in
the hotel. and even on the river boat ii
was kept in readiness.
