VALPARAISO, Sept. Sat meeting
in the Victoria theater, in the princi-
pal square of the city, called to organ
ize a worl1ingman's union, yesterday,
workingmen who belonged to the
Democratic party protested and in
suited those who attended the meet
ing. The police charged on then
with bayonets. Several were wounded
and two killed. 1t is said by the
workingmen that the meeting was
really called by priests and had po-
litical motive.
A religious procession coming out
of church in the same square was
stoned. The police charged again.
The men then gathered in Tendencia
square, where orators protested en-
ergetically against the intendente
permitting and taking part in the
workiugmen' meeting. They called
on him to resign and demanded the
withdrawal of lara, the ecclesiastic
governor.
Talking proved too tame, however,
and the mob then attacked the print
ing office of clerical paper, sackin g
it. They would have committed more
damage but for the arrival of troops.
All is quiet to-day.

An american steamer seszed-FOreIgn-
ers Arrested and ExIled-


New ORLEANS, La. Sept. THE
Times Democrat has the following
news BluefieIds by the steamer John.
Wilson:
"a definite confirmation of the seiz-
ure by the Nicaraguan government of
the Bluefield Banana company's
steamer Mascotte for alleged COM
plicity in the recent Mosquito insur-
rection was brought by the steamer.
The seizure was made at the instance
of Senior Cabezas, and it is denounced
by foreign residents as unwarranted.
The Mascotte is an American
steamer and has always carried the
American flag. Its owners aver that
it was pressed into service whe> the
Mosquito chief Clarence took pos
session of the Mosquito coast and with
out their consent, therefore they do
not think they should be held blame
able.
s'The gentleman who gives the in
formation of the seizure of the Mas
cote SAYS Cabezas is running things
at Bluefields with high hand. The
town is practically under martial
law and foreign residents who are
charged with completely in the up
rising of the Indians under Clarence
are being arrested indiseriminately
IL Is alleged U0aC II ndJIEo pears q
grudge against foreigner he simply
has to tell Cabezas that the object of
his hatred is a bad man and assisted
the Indians and the foreigner is ar
rested, whether there is proof to back
up the assertions of his accusers or
not. As result the commerce of
foreign nations is greatly impeded
and the foreign residents are fleeing.
Twelve men, supposed to be among
the English residents, were arrested
and sent to Managua, previous to the
sailing of the John Wilson, and it is
alleged that one of them was Mr.. In
graham, an attache of the English
diplomatic service. 1t is alleged that
Mr.. Ingraham abetted the Indian up
rising, thereby mourning the enmity
of the Nicaraguans.
just before the John Wilson sailed,
six Americans and Englishmen were
exiled by order of Cabezas- They
were sent away in a small freight
schooner engaged in local coast traf-
fic and up to the time of the departure
of the John Wilson, it had not been
learned whether they had been safely
landed or not. Their passage was
paid by Cabezas, out of the Golfers of
the Nicaraguan treasury.
