Colon, March 2.-The British war
ship Cleopatra arrived here to-day from
Bluefelds, Mosquito Territory, Nicara-
qua, and soon after she reached this
port II became known that her COM
mander had landed An armed force Of
eighty men, ten officers and three coats,
with instructions TO protect the Mos
quito chief against any attempt upon
the part OF the Nicaraguan government
TO break the treaty Of lS60 securing 20
the former autonomy. Upon the de-
mand of the British commander the
state OF siege, or martial law, was with
drawn, and the Cleopatra came here In
order to cable to the Admiral in com
mand OF the British feet az Jamaica for
instructions. Shortly afterward the
Cleopatra began coaling, and as soon as
she received an answer TO the cable
message sent to Jamaica the warship
hurriedly got up steam and put TO sea,
again returning to the Bluetields last
night.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-The report
that the British war ship Cleopatra has
landed troops at BIuefelds, Nicaragua,
aud interfered In the dis. 1te between
Nicaragua and the reigningMosqu uito
chief, is regarded with keen interest In
Washington, although so far this gov
ernment has taken no step beyond
keeping Informed OF the progress Of
events through reports from Mr..
Braida, the United States Counsul at
San Juan del Norte. The point
involved in ths present dispute is not
now because Of the fact that
Bluofelds, only sixty miles distant
from Greytowg the eastern terminus Of
the Nicaragua canal, occupies loca-
tion Of great strategic importance
toward the project, it may be that the
United States will become involved In a
dispute in the future. Certainly this Is
likely to be the case II the British go

DEPRESSING TaE PEOPLE.
President PeixOto, OF Brazil, Issues Two
Important DEGREES

Important DEGREES.
RIO DE JANEIRo, March .. President
Peixoto to-day issued two important de-
crees. The first OF these announce
ments calls for an increase In the
strength OF the regular army, and will
therefore impose additional burdens
upon the people and increase the al
ready heavy taxation to a great degree.
This increase Of the strength Of the
regular army is said to be the first step
in a movement TO crush out the rebel
lion in this neighborhood and in the
South, and should this object be at
tainsd, II may be said that the add
tional burden which the people will be
called upon to bear will, after all, be
blessing in disguise.
The second decree issued by the
President provides that persons ac-
cused Of treason shall be tried by mill
tary law, which would seem TO indicate
that additional repressive measures are
necessary. At the same time IL is an
nounced that martial law will not be
proclaimed so long as the situation re-
mains as tranquil as IL is now.
Yellow fever continues 10 spread

TIE PREss REPORT.
A Statement That Martial Law Has Been
Proclaimed at Eagle.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, March q
After the meeting of eight hundred
strikers at Montgomery Hollow, last
night, the Governor did not withdraw
the troops from Wyant's Notifications
at Eagle mines, and it is not likely now
that the troops will not leave for some
time. Colonel hodges, commanding the
Second regiment, and Major Banks COM
manding a battalion OF three companies,
have declared martial law and set
led down for siege Sheriff Hinman
called for more troops to-day, when
the strikers moved around PoWellton,
which is five miles from Eagle mines.
The POwelitOn miners are working at
reduction, and all the strikers want
there is for them 10 come out.
The Governor and staff have been In
consultation all dav and tonight.
At @ o'clock tonight everything Is
quiet at Eagle. The Governor IS IN
close telegraphic communication with
the military, and nothing has been seen
relative TO any difficulty. de received
a telegram al $3.50 o'clock from the
Sheriff of Fayette county at Powellton,
stating that he was guarding the
property there with posse
OF men, and that while there
had as yet been no attack made
by the strikers from Montgomery, he
believed the report that they were ad-
vancing in both directions TO attack
from from front and rear was correct,
and asked the Governor for military
protection.
The Governor wired him to keep him
fully informed as to the situation there,
and that II be felt assured from any de-
velopments that might appear that he
was unable to protect life and property,
he would order more troops 20 the
scene.
one of the most prominent citizens OF
this city who has been there for two
dsvs returned here tonight and IN con-
versatiOn with the Associated Press
correspondent said: ION the surface
everything is quiet at Eagle, but in the
opinion OF those best acquainted with
the situation trouble would result
within 24 hours il the troops
we're withdrawn. There is very bitter
feeling against Wyant, and a dozen min
ers with whom I talked to-day said that
while troops we're there no demOnstrr-
tion would be made, but when the mill
tary were gone Wyant would be filled. Z"
These were sober, conservative men,
aud they meant all they said. /
learned tonight that there were
two detectives in the mass
meeting held Tuesday, just
before the attack was made, and that
they have the names Of three ring lead
ers, as we'll as eiRhty-three others who
took prominent parts in planning the
attack. 1t is proposed to have the
Judge Of the Circuit Court, now In ses-
sion at Fayetteville, issue bench war
rants for these men and Jail them at
once"

Tony Farrell, will be seen in the
title role of fine scenic production
of his new Irish comedy drama,
"Garry Owen" which has been
well received in all the principal
metropolitan cities of the country
this season. 1t contains the true
Irish spirit, wit, humor, pathos and
patriotic sentiment, all most hap
PLY blended. Mr.. Farrell, always
favorite, has for years been recog-
nized as the most accomplished
comedian in his line on the stage.
The play is richly mounted with
special and appropriate scenery,
and the singing and musical spec
ialties incidental to the piece are
remarkably clever.

CONTRIBUTED SCRAPS.

San Antonio needs cotton and
wooden mills, tan yards and shoe
factories, and her business men
should put their shoulders to the
wheel" and secure them. There is
a magical power in vim.
We have the the raw materials
at our doors and we must stop the
suicidal policy Of shipping our raw
materials to the North for the pur-
pose of being man ufactured, and
then shipped back to us; at our
cost, for freight and insurance.
We must manufacture our wool,
cotton and hides, at home, and
ourselves reap the profits of manu-
featuring them.
Do factories build up towns and
cities? For an answer, l cite you
to Sheffield and Birmingham in
England, to Parisly in Scotland,
to Lyons in France, and to Phil
adelphia in our own country.
One hundred and twenty years
ago, Sheffield q Birmingham were
but insignificant villages. They
are the products Of mills and fac
tories.
Our business men should act,
unitedly and literally, in getting
mills and factories started in and
around San Antonio, as they will
reap the largest share of the bene.
fits accruing from them.
If 100000 were to be paid out,
weekly, to wage workers in San
Antonio, our business men would
receive nearly all of it, for wood,
coal, groceries, medicines, provis.
ions and dry goods.
The assessed value of the PROP
erty in the city of Philadelphia,
exceeds the assessed value of the
property in the states of Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia and Alabama.
What has enriched Phifadel-
phia Manufactures.
Granite and ice are the staple
products of Massachusetts, yet she
ismOre than a hundred times richer
than any southern state. What
has made Massachusetts, so rich?
Her manufactures.
Would it benefit San Antonio to
have two millions of dollars ex-
pended among her business men,
every month in the year?
Mill and factories would give us
a steady and profitable local trade
and keep the wheels Of business
well creased. They would enhance
the value of real estate; give en-
ployment to the unemployed open
an avenue for poor girls and boys,
who at present can find no work,
and quintriple the demand for
butchers meat, bakers bread, milk
eggs, poultry and vegetables.
Our citizens must offer induce
ments to capitalists to start mills
and factories, tan yards and shoe
factories here. They must take
stock in them or donate them the
land for their erection. San An
tonic must either wake up or be
distanced in the race for success.
