WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-nThe state de-
partment is watching the developments
of the situation in Nicaragua with Jeal-
Gus eyes and a firm determination that
every American citizen who has in
CURED the ill-will of the Nicaraguan
government shall receive justice. To-
day a cablegram was received from
United States Consul Braida, at Grey
town, stating that the prisoners taken
by the Nicaraguan troops at Bluefields
have arrived at Greytown. Included in
Are number were two American cltl-
Zens Wiltbank and hampton, and Mir.
Hatch, the British consular agent at
Blueields The state department has
been seeking to establish communica-
ton with United States Minister Baker
AT Managua, but so far without sue
cess, and it is feared he may be i'll. 1t
lis the desire Of the department to in
Struct Mr. Baker to look into the cir
cumstances of the arrest of the Amell-
cans and report promptly to the de-
partment.
While Americans in Bluefelds are
warned by our government to keep out
of the squabble between Clarence and
the Nicara gu2nS under penalties or the
Nicaraguan law, there is no Disgusting
was made under ugly conditions. If
til men have violated the local law af-
due warning, the state department
Wnnot consistently object to their pun
sament; but if the arrests were ille-
or improperly made, and Mr.. Ba-
ker is expected to report on this point,
then the state department will prompt
ly and energetically act in behalf Of the
prisoners. The whole incident, coming
as it did at a time when the United
States was putting forth its influence
toward the recognition of Nicaragua S
sovereignty over the Mosquito. reserva-
ton, is greatly regretted, and it is felt
here that the Nicaraguans have done
wisely in tempe'ing their victory over
the Mosquito with liberation from the
foreign residents of the reservation.
Should they lose the sympathy of the
United States through persecution of
her subjects, and arouse the ire OF
Great Britain through unjust treatment
of her subjects, an early and peaceful
solution of the Mosquito situation can
scarcely be expected.

CROOKS AND DOODLE.
Chicago officers Worried Over the
Com biuatiou.

Chicago, Aug. 2S.-Joe Harris, the
bank thief whose record extends
across the continent. was arrested last
night on Clark street and locked up
in the central station. A friend of
Joe's was also taken in at the same
time, and on being searched the pair
had several thousand dollars in their
possession. Harris was faultlessly
attired. On being told that the chief
wanted to see him at headquarters he
reluctantly accompanied the officers
to the city hall, where, after being re-
lieved of his money, he was taken
down stairs. His companion suffered
similar treatment. Today the officers
at the city hall will endeavor to learn
where the men got so much money
The money consisted of gold and cur
rency and the amount consisted of
$500. AS an expert bank robber Joe
Harris has no peer. He has taken
chances that would make an ordinary
bank crook quail, and, owing to his
nerve. he is looked upon by the police
as dangerous. His home is in this city.
He never did any wholesale robbing in
Chicago. but outside towns were made
to suffer. He first became prominent
when he entered the First National
bank in Detroit and got away with
$4,000. and for which he served a
term in the penitentiary. He next held
up women and relieved them of some
diamonds. serving one year therefor.
Minneapolis was the next city that
sheltered Joe. He was not long in the
place before the Bank of Minneapolis
was robbed. About two years ago
Harris entered the bank while the
cashier was busy. The catch of the
door which separates the vaults from
the street entrance was deity lifted
and in an instant Harris was in the
midst of the banks valuables, and he
helped himself. On leaving he was
discovered. He had $4,000 and he
made a desperate effort to escape. He
reached the street and at once darted
up the hallway where he was surround
ed. Detectives came along and Joe
was taken to the city bastile. The
best legal talent in the northwest was
engaged to defend him but it was of
no avail. He was sent to the peniten-
tiary and has only been out about six
weeks.
The pair will remain as prisoners
for the present

Discrepancy as to Wire.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 2S-The
Times, this morning, will say that it
has discovered discrepancy in table
of the tariff bill passed by congress
which would probably cost consumers
a large sum.
Some days ago a local paper con-
tanned a Washington dispatch, eharg-
ing that the wire schedule of the new
tariff showed increased duties as COM
pared with the Mckinley law, ranging
from 100 to 300 per cent. The Times, by
comparing the two bills, has succeed
ed in correcting the misrepresentation.
1t is shown that instead of increasing
the tariff on wire goods, the Senate bill
reduces the duties to nominal figure.
An inquiry was set on foot in Wash
ington by the Times correspondent and
tonight he wired:
Senator Faulkner was surprised at
the mistakes in estimating increases on
wire, etc., and will have experts al
work on them tomorrow. On page 26f
of Senate report, you will see the COM
PARSONS carried out in which the aver
age ad valorem under both bills is fig
ured. This shows that on only two
items on wires are there any increase
Mr. Faulkner does not know how the
mistake occurred"

Results of the Bill.

New York, Aug. 2S.-Receipts at the
custom house today foot up larger than
for the whole of the preceding year.
This is the result of the change of the
tariff law.
The 800 custom house brokers re-
ceived a license to Gct as such yester-
day, and every one of the 800 had Gus
toners who wanted their goods out
learly today. The consequence was that
the brokers were rushed to get the
goods entered. In order to accomplish
that number of the brokers made it
worth the while of the clerks in the
custom house to remain after hours
last evening and enter their goods.
None of the offices of the brokers
closed before midnight last night. The
custom house doors opened today half
an hour earlier than usual. Seven
thousand withdrawals were entered
but all of the papers could not be hand
led by the force of clerks, and not over
lone-quarter of them were passed. The
receipts amounted to $512,S44.

A Salty Story.

Kansas City, Aug. ga quartette
of salt producers, holding heavy inter
ests in Texas, Kansas and Missouri,
had conference here today to discuss
the effect of the free salt clause of the
new tariff bill upon that industry.
F. r. Blount, of Dallas, who has
large salt interests in Texas, and who
has just returned from England, made
the statement that English salt miners
were now paid Is cents a day, and that
in order for Americans to compete with
them our workingmen would be COM
PEELED to submit to 100 per cent. reduc-
ton in wages. No action was taken,
but in an interview the gentlemen
said that it practically meant that
they must go out of business.

ded to batter his "tin faced mug" That

crew fought the flames without effect.
Finally when Captain Ferguson saw
the vessel could not be saved he order
ed the long boat lowered. The decks
were so hot by this time that the men
could scarcely move around.
In short time the crew was over the
side and seated in the boat.
Captain Ferguson was the last man

CHIEF CLAnENcE's DRESS.
ne Excites Great Interest and
Amusement Among the Passen-

gers.
New York, Aug. 2S.-The steamer
Alena, from Central American ports.
arrived in New York today. She was
at Colon and Port Limon when the
trouble between the residents and the
Nicaraguan government occurred and
among her passengers from Port Lirnon
to Kingston were the Mosquito chief,
Clarence, and half a hundred refugees.
They had been brought from BluefiellS
4 by the British cruiser Mohawk, which,
Nh conjunction with the United States
gunboat Marblehead. has been protect
ing the foreign residents of the Mos
quito territory. Chief Clarence and his
!, followers We're transferred to Jamaica
at the expense of the British govern
snent.
On board the Alena the Mosquito
chief proved an object of interest and
amusement to the other passengers.
Chief Clarence, according to the story
of one of the passengers used to strut
about the deck arrayed in gay attire
made up of a navy officers trousers
and an army officers coat. He is de-
scribed by the passengers as being
about 20 years of age, with very dark
shin and a very pronounced negro type
Of face, a person of more than average
r~fntelligence for the natives of the Mos
quito coast.

Limon with English and American ref
ugees aboard, the British cruiser ran
down the coast-chasing schooners on
which were supposed to be some refu-
gees and prisoners by the Nicaragllan
government The Mohawk overhauled
three coasting vessels and boarded
them, but did not find any prisoners.
She then returned to Port Lfmon. This
was after the Nicaraguans had arrest
ed the Americans and British merchants
The refugees were transferred from the
United States gunboat to the Mohawk
and were sent to Jamaica by the Alena.
1t was the opinion of the officers and
passengers of the Alena that but for
the measures taken by the two vessels
there would have been some loss of
life, as the Nicaraguan officials showed
h a disposition to deal with those who
|ropposed them in the customary Central
