NEWS FROM BLUEFIEIDS.
GOVERNMENT PRISONERS WELL TAKEN
 CARE OF.

CARE OFs NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 6.--The Times Democrat tomorrow will print the follow ing: The steamship William G. Hewes, from Bluefelds, Nicaragua, arrived here this afternoon. Captain Morgan reported little change ia the critical condition or affairs in the Nicaraguan town, which has been the theatsr of Cabeza's high. handed actions in imprisoning American and Brlt. ish residents and banishing the British consul from the country.
 Speaking of the Americans imprisoned at Managua the captain said that from all the information he could gather 1t would seem that they would be irested with the utmost consideration by the Nicaraguan govern ment.
 letter received by Mrs. Henry Brown of Bluefields from her husband, who Is one of the Americans confined at Managua, says that every want or tne prisoners is abundantly supplied by the government, their allowance of easables and driakables being particularly pientl- full. This kind of treatment on the part of Nicaraguan officials is looked upon as a nine- days wonder by those who are Ia miliar with the cruel hardships to which they are wont to subject their prisoners.
 Besides MT. Brown there are fifteen oth- CTS, Britons and Americans, conh1ed at Nicaragua, among whom is Mr. Sim Lamo- kin, formerly a resident of Algiers, La.
 The United States warship Marbienead and the British warship Mohawk are still at Bluefelds, the. captain says, but Inc commanders of these vessels are yet inac- tive.

GREAT RAINFALL
Prevents Encounters Between Chinese and Japanese Forces-Coreae
 Receiving Taffy. s

LONDON. Sept. GA Tokio dispatch to the Central News says that the last reports from the front tells of heavy rains, which have impeded military operations. The streams of the Corean peninsula have risen rapidly, and much of the adjacent lowland is partially flooded. The Japanese officers say it is not likely that any battle will be fought before the floods subside. Occa- sional skirmishes have taken place, they say, but neither side has tried recently to bring about decisive action.
 The Japanese regulars in Corea now number 90 ,0C0. Some 10, ,000 of these troops, comprising a strong cavalry force, nave been detailed for the scouting service ana
 the protection of the main army lines oi supply and communication. Some 16,OOO Japanese occupy strong position at Plng
 Yang, They have thrown up eartnWorKs and mounted heavy guns. The Chinese army, with about 20, ,000 men, has taken
 position facing the Japanese. Scouting parties from the two camps have met fre-
 uuenty and exchanged shots, but the nor
 tality has been incousderable. The spirit of the Japanese troops is said to be all that could be desired.
 The Marquis of Saiongi, president of the departmenJ of imperial orders, has arrived in Corea with large suite. His mission IS to convey to the Corean king the emper- or's congratulations in view Of Corea's s achievement of her independence.
 The Shanghai correspondent of the Gen. tral News says. "Otori, the Japanese min ister 10 Corea, has taken extreme measures
 to move the king of Corea to grant com
 prehensive railway concession in favor of
 Japanese contractors. He is trying also to obtain exclusive mining rights for the Jap anese. Despite Japanese denials that there
 has been a general engagement, many wounded are arriving at Seoul. It is im- possible to learn from Japanese sources whether they were injured in sklrmlshes or in pitched battle.
 "Coreans attacked fifty Japanese foragers recently, captured thirty and handed them over to the Chinese. The troops n ow com ing from Japan are landed at Chemn DO. Twelve noun e1 guns and twelve mortars have been taken ashore at that point. ssThe Chinese fleet was at Wei Hai- Wei on September and the Japanese fleet was of the southern coast of Corea.
 "Captain Won Hannekan has been np- :. pointed inspector of the Chinese coast de- fenses.'
 The Tokio correspondent of the Central News has added to his afternoon dispatch the statement that the reports of great Chinese victories in Corea are pure hction5.

GREATEST OF ALL, ---
 INDIANAPoLIs, Sept. 6.-Indianapolis now holds the worlds pacing record, and came within a fraction Of a second today of the world s trotting 9 record. Robert J. made the second heat in Il IS match race With Joe Patchen for S50O0 in 202k, being the fast est mile ever paced. The three heats av- eraged In speed 2:03 2-5, making the fastest three heats ever paced. Time by quarters of the second mile was as follows: First dnarter, 0:30A; second, 1:0lh; third, f:3Ob; fourth, 2:02b. In this neat Joe Patcnen went like the wind and forced Robert J to make spurt of speed almost at the wire that was phenomenal Colonel Taylor of St. Louis, owner or thp black stallion, had said before the race that if the gelding won he would have to beat his time at Fort Wayne, which was 2:O3A. The black came in under the wire in exactly that time. In the first heat he had made the mile in 2:04 flat. The last pacers scored for the word at 4:05 o'clock with the track in the pink of condition: Joe Patchen had the pole. They scored once without getting the words but at the second time they went away with Patchen a little in the lead.
 Robert J. started at Starter Walker "go," and went up in the air. Driver Geers showed his masterly hand in quickly throwing the son of Hartford into his stride by pulling him to the outside or the track. He was then six lengths behind, i, but he settled down to win the neat. Patchen went the eighth in sixteen seconds, and was still six lengths ahead at the quarter. Jack Curry, who was driv- ing him, thought be saw victory and a world record for the black when he passed the half in the lead, but the gelding was gaining, and in the third quarter was nearly at his side. Down the home. stretch Patchen still held the lead until about the last furlong, when the geldlng g made one of those spurts that not the ile- eral use of the whip could make Patchen head off. There was great excitement when it was found that the time for the heat made for it up to that time the fastest ever paced in a race. The enthusiasm knew no bounds when the heat showed up with its second and a quarter faster time. In this heat Patchen seemed sure winner until almost under the wire, when Robert ], forged ahead. Curry tried the whip, but it was plain that the black was going bis fastest. The performance, however, was so satis factory to the crowd that both horses and drivers, the owners and the driving club were given three cheer.s The third heat began with beautiful even start, but the gelding broke at the quarter and lost six lengths again. He settled down and came in winner without seeming to be pushed to his utmost. His winning spurts in the last furlong caused the loudest cheers.
 Alix was not successful in reducing the worlds best trottng record, the best she could do being 2:04A.

LATONIA RESULTS.

DILLON TAKES IN BIG PURsE-oTHER FLYERS.
 < CINCINNATI, Sept. 6.-lt was a day of big fields at Latonia today, the five racee on the card having altogether sixty six entries. The entries in the fourth race were the largest for stake race in the history of the track, numbering thirty-one in all. Scrathes reduced the actual number to eighteen. Hessie, who was entered today, won the S20S5 purse in the maiden stakes with ease.
 jFayorites were knocked down in every race but one, the third. in which Wight man, 1 to 2, galIoped home winner. Jockey Hall got into trouble with the judges over his riding of Dillon J. in the the third race. The judges say that he al- lowed his mount to drop, almost out of the race at the start and tried to make up the lost ground in the stretch, when it was too late for him to get better than third.
 In the last race J. Hill claimed foul, saying that Hall had run into him at the head of the stretch. The judges reserved their decisions in both cases. Ia the last race the second choice, Adam, and Leonard s. at 12 to 1, beat the favorite, Simon w. ;, with ease. Helen w. fell in the fourth trace, but Mosby, her rider, was unhurt. rhs is Mosby's second fall ia three days.
