Fatal Effort of Mother to Prove
Her Innocence.
She Takes Medicine That Killed Her
Daughter and Dies in
Great Agony.

PoMERoY. Ohio, March 10.-Mrs. Thomas
II. Helmer, who took a large dose of ex-
tract of colocynth to prove she had not
poisoned her daughter, died last night.
Her daughter died from poison aud the
mother was accused of having admins

charge, and to demonstrate her innocence
she took two spoonfuls of colocynth with
the above result 1t is believed now shat
the poison was placed in the medicine by
an unknown person. Thomas Helmer,
the husband, says he thinks it was the
physician. Mrs. Helmer thought the same
and took some of her daughters prepara-
tioD, supposed TO be harmless purgative,

other person.
II was a dramatic scene. In the best of
health she called the rest of the family
and several neighhOrs into the sitting
room after the funeral Of her daughter to
witness her swallow two tablespoonfuls of
the stuff.
''The town gossips accuse me-" said she,

took one spoonful and continued: It'll
take two. You are all witnesses to this
dose. See if it kills me-"

Something About the Mosquito Do

Landed Troops.

NEW YORK. March 10.-The steamer
Premier has arr we'd from Bluefelds, and
brings intelligence of large number of
the in inhabitants leaving because Nicaragua
has taken possession of that place and
the adjacent country, which heretofore
belonged to the Mosquito Reservation.

war Cleopatra.
CHICAGO. March 10.-Dr. c. E. Rogers
Of Minneapolis, en- route to BluefeIds,
where he has large interests and where
ihe British troops recently landed, was in
Chicago to-day. He said: England did
the right thing in landing troops on the
reservation. and every American in that
country was glad TO see it done. The rea-
son the Queens soldiers were sent there
was because Nicaragua violated the treaty
o 1860. which provided for the autonomy
of the Mosquito reservation. The United
States gave tacit consent to the arrange
ment."
NEW YORK, March 1O.-A special to the
World from Tegucigalpa says: The Gov
ernment of Nicaragua has Withdrawn 30O
of its troops from here, ordering them to
BIuefelds on the Mosquito reservation.
MANAGUA. March 10,-Paries who left
quietly for England ten days ago are be-
lieved to have gone to treat with England
concerning the Mosquito country trouble
and the Nicaragua canal project
The Mosquito King. whose territory has
just been occupied by the Nicaraguans, is
not very powerful sovereign, but he is
an extremely picturesque figure. There is
lie oil
slice of territory on the Central American
coast, is peopled by a mixed race of In
dians and coIored people, the latter blood
predominating. In the OLD times black
slaves ran away from their Spanish mas
ters. They formed the nucleus of a settle
ment in the tropical wilderness. Other
runaway slaves joined them. Some mar
ried Indian wives. A new type of the
human race sprang up. The Spanish
sought to conquer the Mosquito settle
ments. but the MOSQUITO people proved
themselves the braver and better men on
the battlefield, at least. and maintained
their independence. They have repulsed
all attacks until recently.
This region is called the Mosquito
country, presumably because of the num-
Der, size. ferocity and persistency of the
N mosquitoes. Why any white man should
want it is difficult to see.
The King is lord of life and death in
NJ osquito land. He is great stckler for
dignity. He is more careful in that par
ticular than the future King of England.
Recently an American war vessel
anchored off his coast, and the King went
down in great state to meet the captain
and welcome him. The King is very tall,
very muscular and very black. He wore
his uniform of state, which consisted of
magnificent three-cornered cooked hat
of the kind formerly worn by an English
admiral. pair of blue velvet slippers
and an American army knapsack slung
across his back. In his hand he carried
an unsheathed sword, which he waved
frequently and with great dignity during
the conversation that ensued.

HERBERT GIVES HIS REASONS.
Why the Naval Forces Were Placed
Under Blount's Orders.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Sscretary Her
bert has made response TO the Boutelle
resolution in the House calling on him to
state his authority for issuing instructions
placing the naval forces al Honolulu un-
der the orders Of Bount. In substance
the answer is that the action was neces-
sary to prevent conflict of authority
and that the Secretary's authority for issu.
ing the orders was the Presi dent, COM
mander-in-chief of the army and navy.
He cites a number of precedents for his
action.
The Secretary begins his reply by quot
ing bis instructions TO Admiral Skerrett,
and that part of Blounts credentials to
President Dole describing his authority as
paramount in all matters pertaining to
relations with Hawaii. He calls attention
to the fact that at this time the United
States forces had been landed and the
United States flag was floating over Homo
lulu. Under the circumstances. and in
view of the remoteness Of the islands, the
Secretary says it was essential that no COLI
fiict of authority with reference to the
disposition of the United States forces
should arise, but they should be employed

NEW YORK. March 10.-Rarold Frederic

feeling, however, that with American
readers 1t Is different.
The almost exaggerated attention they
have been paying to the drama at West

due to their affectionate admiration of
Gladstone that with his name stricken
from the bills they may feel disposed TO
yawn over the rest of the piece or ignore

CHICAGO, March 10.-A bigger war on

Union Pacific on the other. The Rock
Island, and possibly the Burlington, will
favor the Atehison and Southern Pacific
Great indignation is expressed by the
Southern Pacific against the Union Pa
cifc for the recent cutting of rates. 1t
was announced to-day that the North
western and Union Pacific were making a
through brokers' rate of S31 one way and
S54 for the round trip to California. The
Atchison was at first inclined to meet the
reductions, but concluded that pending a
settlement of the dispute with the South
ern Pacific it would create no more CON-
plications. Once this matter is out of the
way the Union Pacific will be given all
the fgLti it cares for. The settlement be-
tween the Atchison aud Southern Pacific
is progressing smoothly.
A ructioD is coming in the Western
Freight Association, and predictions are

Rio DE JANEIRO, March 10.-There

Destroyer and three torpedo-boats brought
over from Germany have arrived here.
When the sun rose this morning PeiX-
oto's fleet was seen at anchor in the small
bay al the entrance to the harbor and we'll
protected by the guns of Fort Santa Cruz
The Nictheroy, from the position which
she now occupies, is expected to be able TO
throw dynamite shells at Fort Vllegaig-
non, and when Villegaignon has been
silenctd il is expected that the Nictheroy's
consorts will steam up TO sheltered posi-
ton behind the island upon which the
Villegaignon Notifications stand and will
from there shell the rebel feet while being
protected from the fire of the heavy guns
of the insurgents ships.
The Parnamy bs. formerly the guardship
at Pernambuco. and the cruiser America
are outside the bay to watch, it is pre-
sumed, against surprise upon the part of
the Aquidaban or other rebel ships. All
the insuTgent war vessels, as well as the
and battle now seems imminent.
The United States cruiser San Fran
cisco, the flagship of Admiral Benham, has
anchored in a most peculiar position near
the small island on which Fort Laga
stands. The San Francisco is but little
way ont of the line of fire should The
NctherOy open up1D Villegaignon with
the dynamite guns. On the other hand no
better position could have been chosen by
the United States admiral for judging of
the efficiency of the dynamite guns.
The other United States war vessels are
just outside the harbor, and it is presumed
they will come inside when the action
commences. The general opinion seems
to be that the battle will commence to-
| night or tomorrow night.
