NEWS FROM NICARAGUA.
Lacayo Offers Another Insult to the
United States-Trouble Brewing.

NEW ORLEANS, April 1.-THE steam
ship George Sealey arrived today from
Bluefields. Nicaragua, bringing news to
April IL. The Picayune's correspondent
writes:
On the evening OF the 9th instant a
small schooner arrived from Greytown,
bringing mail advices and several MICA
| raguau officials Among these, to the
great surprise of even Lacayo, was tine
Wilson murderer. Norbur Arguelio. late
acting governor of Rama
As soon as it became known this man
was in town the citizens began To congre-
gate in groups. when one could hear, with
the click of pistol, Eyes the murderer Is
| here" As the NicaraEuans suspected the
peculiar movements Of the Americans
meant something, the assassin Arguello
was hastily placed under arrest and has
been since confined in the provisional
tombs. II would seem that Arguello es-
capped from Rama to the interior, where
he was safe beyond a doubt and that his
adventure here in connection with other
matters transpiring, Is a part OF play be-
ing made by Lacayo, which be will under
take To carry out unless the commander
of the United States battleship San Fran
cisco. provided she gets here, makes de-
mand for his execution.
In the mail brought here by the same
schooner came a telegram from United
States Minister Baker, dated the first, to
United States Consul S. c. Bradia. In
forming him that the governor of Nicara-
qua had revoked the exeQuatur and for
him (Bradia) to look up his official books
and papers and await further orders. The
invaders and intriguers were lubiiant over
this additional insult to tue flag of the
United States and openly boosted that La
cayo had downed BraIda; that the Amer
leans must submit to the laws of Near
agna and that Charles A. Lacayo will
never permit Robert Henry Clarence, chief
OF the Mosquito Indians, to resume the
control of the municipal and national af-
fairs of Bluefields aud the Mosquito reser-
walton.
1t Is rumored that the exequatur of the
British consul, Mr.. Bingham was also re-
voked. Owing To the British consul's
action while here these people do not be-
lieve that the Nicaraguan officials would
ever object to Mr.. Bingham and up to this
moment the rumor lacks confirmation.
Her majesty's ship Magicienne is still
he-e. having relieved her majesty's steam
ship Canada OH the morning of the third
instant. Captain A. Z. Clark her COM
mander came ashore this morning and
among other things. while speaking of the
actiOus of the Nicaraguan officials, re-
marked: Gentlemen. If you would wish
to know what Lacayo and his hcnchmen
OF the most idiotic oficialisms possible,
and that will be about what they will per.
form"
Therefore, while the town is quiet this
evening, we do not know what the morrow
may produce and necessarily we are CON
stantly under arms, ready to prove that we
are Americans.

GETTING SERIOUS.
Denizsns OF the Capital Getting Nervous
Over the Situation.

WASHINGTON, April 16-Washington
authorities. civil and military, are begin
ming to take an active interest in the
arrival of Coxey's army. AS the Common
veal approaches and the stories of detach-
ments from various cities begin to be
authenticated, the outlook for a very
troublesome problem for the district au-
thorities to solve becomes brighter. The
question is: What will be done with the
Coxeyites after they disband? The indi-
vidual members of the army will be with
out means to get out of the city, and
General CoXey has disclaimed all
intention of leading away the men
the men might encamp in the district and
practically say to the authorities: Here
we are, and what do you propose to do
with us?"
The district commissioners had prepared
today a list of the statutes under which
CoSey and his men could be arrested and
dealt With. There is no lack of law: laws
pers into the district, against Assem- blages
on the capitol grounds. or professions
without permit are in force.
Commissioner Ross, the president of the
board, today said the authorities do not
think they will have trouble in dealing
with the CoXey army and that he con-
sidered the invasion chiefly dangerous be-
cause of the precedent 1t would establish.
III dlsgruntled factions were to form the
habit OF marching upon the capitol in force
TO voice their demands, he thought il
would be disturbing 10 legislation and de-
cidedly uncomfortable for the residents OF
the city. There are 450 men on the loca,
police force. but of course only a fraction
OF this body would be available To handle
the Coxeyites. and the probabilities are
that II would be necessary TO call upon the
militia for assistance There are GOO
troops so well drilled that they could he

OMAHA, Neb., April 16.-Smooth shaver
and sunburned, but with bright eyes and
Arm steps, General Kelly's troops naarched
out of Council Bluffs at o'clock.f AT the
head of the procession rode the general on
a spirited sorrel horse, loaned him for the
occasion by a sympathizlng citizen.
Along the street the general was given one
ovation and several times was stopped by
citizens who demanded speech and the
privilege of shaking his hand. BY his
side rode Sheriff Hazen, who went more as
a pilot than a peace officer. Behind with
regular platoon formation, blankets rolled
and bundles carried knapsack fashion,
trudged the army with step as firm AS the
muddy road would permit.
Early this morning Sheriff HsZen called
on General Kelly and told him his twenty
four hours rest was ended and that he
should move on by ! o'clock. Kelly
promised to start by that time, or soon
after. At o'clock the army relinquished
the tain of Union Pacific box cars II had
occupied since leaving Ogden ana prepared
for the march. In the meantime Kelly
and Hazen had been looking mp route.
The general expressed his desire to cross
the eastern boundary of Iowa, at as near
due east of Council Bluffs as possible. This
made Davenport the chain of crossings on
the Mississippi and elected the Rock Island
as the route TO be followed. There was no
probability of train on the Northwestern
being captured, as that company had
abandoned Council Bluffs for the time.
Parks Hill, the first station east on the
Rock Island, five miles out, was chosen as
the camping place Tor the night General
Kelly hoped" that "A train OF empty box
cars would pass through during the night.
Ii would then be captured"
At 2:30 the bugle sounded fall in" and
in half an hour the army was under way.
5. II. Finney. who loaned General Kelly
his horse. also supplied two big trucks on
which the prOveDder aud other impeachment
OF the army was loaded, and as the corDet,
which doss duty as bugle aud band, rang
out John Browns Body" the departure
was taken. The men were in excellent
spirits. Not n sick man was with them.
All the sick had been transferred to the
hospitals. About $50 joined the army Sun
day and today. Twenty-four hours of
rest had sufficed to revive the droopipg
better courage than ever. Several Tho
deserted here and at Council Bluffs have
been locked up. Those taken in Omaha
had,broken the strictest rule of Kelly's
code-got drunk. During the stay of the
army'in thissyicinity there was no drink
ing in camp and absolutely no disorder
Manyspeople went to the camp during the
day and contributed cash and clothing to
the scommissary department Kelly left

GETTING DESPERATE.

DENVER, April ia detachment of
Grayson'5 Colorado regiment, Coxey's
army, seized line OF box cars last night
in the Burlington and Missouri River
yards just north Of here after driving off
the Waterman, intending to force the rail-
road to haul them east. This not being
done, several empty cars were set on fire
early in the morning, but the fire was put
out. AT noon today the cars were again
discovered burning and thirty were de-
stroyed. The plan now is for the regi-
ment TO march out few miles tomor-
row along the Rock Island track where a
train of empties will be found ready To be
seized and forced TO go east

WASHINGTON, April I6.-A constitutional
opinion of great importance was rendered
by Judge Mott, of the court of claims, to-
day, in passing upon Que OF two cases
arising out of the We'll and L.Abra Next
can awards. The question presented was
as to whether or not the president can
lawfully approve bill after the adjourn
ment of congress. Judge Mott held that
the president had that right. provided it
be exercised within the ten days allowed
him by the constitution,
The decision was rendered in one of two
cases IN which the United States was COM
plainant and the La Abra Silver Mining
company, Alice We'll and a large number
of other persons respondents. These are
the first cases in the court Of claims in
which the government has appeared in the
character of plaintiff and private parties
in the character of defendants. The suits
arose out of awards made by Sir Edward
Thornton, as umpire OF the Mexican COM
mission, In favor OF the company, and
Benjamin We'll in the one case for being
driven away from their mine in Mexico
and in the other for a. large
quantity of cotton seized by the
Mexican army in 1868 Subsequently
the Mexican government paid the money
awarded to the government OF the United
the claims involved frauds Of the grOssest
character. Special acts were passed by
congress authorizing the president to bring
suits in the court of claims to vacate and
set aside the awards. Such suits were ac-
cordingly brought by the attorney general
in the form of bill of equity. The
respondents demurred, they ground being
that the statutes under which they were
brought are unconstitutional and void.
The cases We're deliberately argued by nine
counsel and have been under ADJUSTMENT
since February. The opinion delivered
uphoids the constitutionality of the act
and the sufficiency of the governments
bill, and overrules the respondent demur-
rer.
The decision of the court of claims, if
sustained, may change the practice of the
president in approving bills, and over
throw the usage of a hundred years The
court holds that the president may approve
a bill after the adjournment of congress,
provided IL be within the ten days allowed
him 10y the constitution. The opinion
which is by Judge Mott, boldly arrays the
facts and authorities, all of which
are contrary 10 the conclusion reached.
Kent and Story, unanimous report of the
Judiciary committee of the house of repre-
sentatives in 1864, aud the practice of all
presidents from the beginning of the gov
ernment, with the exception of Lincoln in
a single instance, are all set forth. Never
theless, this is believed to be the first ex-
baustive examination the subject has ever
received and the court is of the opinion
that the conclusion reached, with the mass
of historical and judicial evidence by which
it is sustained, will be accepted as incon-
trOvertible.
