An interesting case for recovery of debt
Of which Doc Richardson Is plaintiff and
VIM. 8. Clifford defendant. Will be tried be-
fore Justice E. NJ Hurley in Bladensburg
at 10 O'Clock Friday morning. Clifford. who
runs the George Washington House, leased
that property from it's owner. the late Jud-
son F. Richardson, who conducted IL for
many years as 4 hotel, Since the death OF
that person Clifford has not paid any rent
ewing to the fact that 1t is claimed by two
rersons-Jennie Riies the housekeeper, and
Doc Richardson. the nephew of the late
owner. 1t appears that Richardson left the
property to Jennie Rifles in a recent WILL
1t to him in 1885, and has the document to
substaEtiats his statement. Clifford says
that he will pay the rent to the rightful
owner. but does not believe that the prop
erty belongs to doc Richardson.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Recent Enlargement of Its Leased
Wire Facilities.


The Associated Press has enlarged its d.
rect leased wire facilities between New

Baltimore. Washington and Pittsburg.
At the same time Pittsburg became an
important relay point for the handling
of the news. seven leased wires concentrat-
ing I'm that city from the west. south and
east This compelled the enlargement of
the editorial and telegraphic force of the
Associated Press In that city.
The fact that the distributing Office has
been opened in Pittsburg and the facilities
increased at that point is made the basis
of a statement In two New York city pa
pers. and also sent out by a news agency
which serves them with news, to the effect
that the change involved the lessenng of
the facilities OF the great distributing office
of the Associated Press at New York city
Such statement Is entirely untrue, and to
those acquainted with the working details
of the greatest news agency in the world
Q denial will not be necessary.
The Associated Press today serves, with
few exceptions, every leading daily news
paper in the United States. Its leased wire
system extends directly across the country
from New York to San Francisco, from st.
Paul to Galveston and from Seattle to San
Diego. ON the Pacific coast, embracing a
total in this leased wire system exceeding
10000 miles of telegraphic wires. To ham

The general offices of the Associated

SEIZED AMERICAN BOATS.
Bold Act OF Gen. Cnbesos OF Ntcal
aqua.


The Associated Press correspondent
writes that Gen. Cabezos Of Nicaragua ar
rived of Blu=helds July 81. coming down
the rive- from Rama with coo troops in
American launches belonging to the Mobile
Fruit and Trading Company and flying the
American flag. The launches had been
seized once before. but Capt. O'Neil visited
Cabezos and compelled surrender, as well
as written promise that they would not be
touched again Nevertheless, they were
seized during the night and the crews COM
PEELED to man the boats at the point of the
bayonet.
Cabezos claimed that they were Nicara-
guam property by forfeit of old contract
IN which they were given as security. and
he also held that the crews went willingly
and were paid for their services.
Capt ONeil refused to believe the story
especially as the crews made affidavits to
the contrary. He refused to shake hands
with Cabezos and forced the launches to get
away after. they had landed the troops at
BluetieldS. so they could not be used again.
Capt Stuart of the British cruiser Mo-
hawk intended to cable from Port Limon
about the arrival OF Cabezos, but before
leaving demanded that the town would not
be attacked for forty-eight hours.
CabeZo5 refused the offer, stating that
Nicarasuan blood had been shed and the
Gicaraguan flag torn down, and that the
offenders must be punished
Stuart changed his mlnd. returned to Blue
fields am sent his men ashore to aid the
American sailors in guarding foreign inter-
ests.
The Nica-aguan plan was to take the
town without bloodshed by sending a large
force, 5OO men coming from Greytown as
well This was easy. as Clarence did not
intend to offer resistance. and. besides. hav-
Ing no force or allies to give battle had he
30 desired. On August II Cabezos sent
rote TO Clarence. demanding an immediate
transfer of all property. Clarence was not
found for some hours. and when he received
the note he asked for twenty-four hours in
order to lay the matter before the provis-
ional council.
The delay was granted, and up to the time
the ship left the answer had not yet been
given. The earnest hope of Clarence is to
make the most favorable terms possible.
Saoezos insists on recognizing him as a
revolutionist, for, while Clarence did not
share in the riot, the attack on the Bluff
which was the fatal stroke to Nicaraxuan
rule, occurred after he had assumed charge
