SITUATION AT sLueF,eLos.
The British Force Being Withdrawn,
the Cltixens Unite to Defend
Themselves.

Letters published by the New Orleans
Picaym.e indicate that the situation at Blue
fields is critical.
1t appears that the British marines were
withdrawn after securing promise from the
Nlcaraguan leader, Lacayo, that he would
not interfere with the town. The letter says:
"No sooner had the British marines been
withdrawn and the vessel steamed away than
the very unreliable and incapable Lacayo
brought thirty soidlerI and several boxes Of
arms and ammunition from Rama. This was
In direct violation OF an agreement entered
into by and between Lacayo and the British
consul in the presence Of the Hon. s. Z.
Braid, our United States consul, that Nicar-
aguan soldiers would neither be brought to
Bluefclds nor would Nicaraguans DO put on
the police force during the absence OF the
British warship The presence OF these
Nlcaraguans on The river steamer created
great excitement. In less than ten minutes
fully 900 citizens, American and creoles,
appeared armed with revolvers. 1t was
trying moment. Owing, however, TO the
timely action OF the American minister, La
cayo WAS again brought to terms binding
himself to confne his ntruders 10 his resi-
dence. II shot had been fired there would
not have been a Ncaraguan left alive In
Blucdeds inside of thirty minutes thereafter,
Including Lacayo, who, beyond doubt, de
serves to be shot for the many outrages he
has pcrpetrated against the inhabitants OF
Blueheld. and the Mosquito reservation.
"a general meeting of citizens wa, then
convened when the action OF the American.
was Endorsed and that no assistance be ren-
dered to Lacayo aud that the Americans shall
remain neutral pending the arrival oil n
/ United States warshlp unless II became nee
es.ary to defend their homes and property,
when even thea they will be directed by the
United States consul.

fidy OF Lacayo and hypocritical nntagonism
| OF the British consul, Hon. $. c. Braidd has
been subjected to most trying ordeal and
more especially az he has received no ins'ruc-

Judges Caldwell and Sanborn OF the United
States Circuit Court have decided the famous
Union Pacific Gulf case against the Gulf road,
At least in part.
The court hold. that the Union Pacific Is
not compelled TO operate the Julesbure
branch TO Denver, but says the receivers must
take into consideration the demands OF the
c..s,s :, ,,Li.h tho people may be 'pt-some
served.
On the great bone OF contention, the 10 ter
est question, the court holds that special find
lngs are necessary before decision can be
reached. Accordingly William ID. Cornish
Of ST. Paul Is appointed a special master in
chancery to hear the matters In dispute, make
nccountings and report the findings to the
Circuit Court OF Nebraska.
The judge also hold that the Federal
Court for the Nebraska district Is the court
Of primary jurisdiction In matters pertaining
to the Union Pacific. and that, instead Of ap-
plying to Judge Hnlletf, Receiver Trumbuil
If the Gulf road should come before Judge
Dundy.
Continuing the court says: THE court Is
not bound to pay the debts nor TO perform the
obligations OF the insolvent, nor are its re-
ceivers No one ever contends that the obi
cations Of the insolvent corporation are as
sumed by It's receivers. The only difference
between the liability OF such receivers TO Day
the debts and TO perform the executory con-
tracts of an insolvent corporation is that the
ceiyed by the insolvent. while the couslde.a-
ton OF the latter may be obtained by the re-
eel vers, and II, after an unreasonable length
OF time. they accept the benefits, they may
thereby assume the liabilities OF such con-

Adviccs from Samoa are to the effect that
Arcbcllion of q scrious nature has broken out.
The outbreak was caused by the action Of
Henry Idc, the American chief justice, who
succeeded Chief Justice Cetlcrcrantz on Sep-
TENDER q, 1892. Chief Justice Ide is charged
with fning and throwing into jail the chiefs
Of the rival factions In Samoa and with COM
pelling them TO work on the roads, like con-
victs of the lowest order.
The natives protested strongly and made
all kinds Of threats and eventually broke out
into armed rebellion. The followers Of the
native chiefs disputed the right Of the Euro
peans 10 interfere In what they clas.ed as
purely native affairs.
The King, Malletoa. seems to have remained
thoroughly loyal to the chief justice for, upon
being called upon TO do 80, lie promptly sent
4 strong force of his Samoan warriors TO At.
tack the rebels. Several sharp encounters be-
tween King Malictoa's warriors and the ma
tives, commanded by the rebellious chiefs,
followed. During the engagements thirty
were killed and about dfty were wounded.
Throughout the fighting, up to the time the
steamship Alameda left Samoa. the adyapt-
age was mostly on the the governments side,
the rebels being driven from their camp and
forced to retreat into the interior OF the is
land, where it was difficult TO pursue them.
King Maiietoa's troops are charged with
having terribly mutilated a prisoner who fell
Into their hands, With having burned the
houses Of inoffensive natives, and with having
outraged number Of native women whose
male relatives had taken part In the rebellion
The troops OF the king are also charged
with number OF other atrocities, ia which
the beheading If the dead is said TO have
been common occurrence
The foreign population of Samoa Is In o
state OF he greatest uneasinese, as the natives
are making all kinds of threats against for.
eisners. and the arrival of II warship Of sope
nation is most anxiously awaited.
