SEIZED CORN ISLAND.
Some Further Details of the
Mosquito War.
The Flag of England Floats Over
the Proposed American Coal
ing Station.

NEW ORLEANS, July 1S.-The CORE
spondent of the Picayune sends by the
steamer Gussie lengthy report OF the oc-
curences there preceding the fight at Corn
Island.
Trouble began on the night of July 5.
The month before the merchants who had
advanced money on the scrip issued by the
Mosquito Government requested General
Cabezos. the Nicaraguan Governor, to take
the scrip for duties. He refused point
blank to recognize the scrip. This soon
reduced the revenues OF the Government
and the finances fell way down.
On the 81 Of this month the police again
made demand for their back pay and
were refused. This determined the natives
and their adherents, and when. on the 9th
of the month, they were put off again one
of the police was about to assault CabeZOs
when troops arrived. a brief conflict fol-
lowed. in which four of the police were
painfully injured. Subsequently there
were several skirmishes, in which the
Spaniards under CabeZos were routed.
The American Consul called on Captain
O'NeiI Of the Marblehead for assistance
to protect the foreigners, and sixty-five
marines were landed. Clarence decided
to declare himself chief and issued proc
amation to that effect. Cabezos was
called upon to surrender, but he temper
ICED until finally Clarence attacked
Cabezos' position, and in the skirm-
ish which followed two men were
killed. The Mosquitoes decided to form an
amalgamated council, and three Amer-
cans and two Englishmen were asked to
join. The Americans were Simon Lapton
of New Orleans, Charles Labor of Pearl
Lagoon and H. f. Springer of New Or
leans. The Englishmen were William A.
Brown and Captain Brown. The next day
Captain O'Neill sailed away, leaving the
marines on shore in charge of the first
lieutenant.
When the steamer Hazel Wright arrived
next day it was learned tn at the Standards
had been contemplating an attack on Blue
fields. and the influence of their Governor
alone prevented it. The natives profted
by this and organized two companies. A
close watch was kept, and when the Span
iards come. if they do 80 at all, the fight
will be a hot one.
This morning a sloop came from Corn
Island giving an account of fight there
The Spaniards were routed with several
killed. The natives and Samatrians
hoisted the English flag and it still floats
over the island, which is intended for the
United States cOaling station.
The fighting in Bluefelds 1t is TO be seen
is not entirely local, but more of rebel
lion of the whole Atlantic coast against
Nicaraguan rule. There seems to be no
hope of the natives being permanently sue
cessful and with the uncertainty of Eng
lsh action the outlook of the trouble is

THIS is SIMPLE JUSTICE.
Vast Fortunes Were Made by

THE GOVERNMENT A LOSER.
Why Should a Funding Bill BE
Passed Until This Point is
Adjusted ?

ST. LOUIS, No., July 18.-The Republic
tomorrow will publish a page article to
demonstrate that the stockholders Of the
Union Pacific Railway are liable for the
debt of the road to the United States Gov
eminent. A statement Of number OF
suppoSititious facts is made which, although
not assented 10, the Republic says there Is
so much of plausiblity, as they appear on
the records of the Government, that 10
ignore them and proceed to maj settle
ment Instantaneous TO the pubic wlth-
out the most exhaustive scrutiny OF the
rights of the Government against the
stockholders would be negligence on the
part of the executive and legislative
branches of the Government. The sup
positions as presented are as follows:
BY the terms of the contract offered by
the United States Government and agreed
to by tie Union Pacific Railway trustee
ship was created for certain great puF-
poses. above and beyond The mere COM
mercial act of constructing a highway Tor
common carriage; that the company built
the road for $50 000C00 and pretended that

eminent about SIS, 0C0, 900 in bonds and

stock was sufficient to build and COM
pletely equip the roads; that the buyers
OF stock did not pay cash money into the
c0mpaDy's treasury for their stock. as eX-
p!iclty required by the terms OF their con-
tract and the law of their franchise. but
built the road with the proceeds OF the
Government subsidies and pocketed the
stock, the first mortgage bonds and the
coal profits without rendering any account
OF these proceedings TO the Government;
that by these and other acts before the
date of the redemption Of the sub
sidy bonds the company has become
bankrupt. meanwhile having avoided the
payment of interest to the Government as
originally contemplated in the acts of Con
gress; that the Government, finding itself
by this long series of fraudulent acts and
fraudulent cOncealments deprived of the
money due to it from the company, tinds
itself charged with the payment of the
bonds it issued in aid; that the company
also finds that it has The right of action
against the stockholders as trustees, who
have violated their trust, and further
finds that the stockholders living and the
estates Of those deceased are sufficient to
easily meet the obligation created by the
trust and its gross violation.
The Republic then proceeds as follows:
Is there not enough in these statements 10
compel Congress and the executive to ask
i'm peraively these questions:
First-Was trusteeship created by the
acts of 1862 and 1864 and their acceptance
by the company?
Second-Was the trust violated by con-
cealments and frauds?
Third-DOes any equity require indnlg-
ehce toward these stockholders or their
ben efciarles?
Fourth-Why is funding arrangement
to be concluded which will continue for
century these entanglements until the
powers and rights of the Government TO
collect its debt are exhausted?

WASHINGTON, July 18.-An agreem emit
has been reached on the naval appropria-
ton bill by the Senate and finally agreed
to. The allowance for ordnance stands as
the Senate reduced it. from $3.50, 900 to
500, 900. This reduction was made, how
ever, by striking out the House Item of
$4,000 for modern battery for The
Hartford. The House had also put in an
appropria ton of 100000 for new machin-
cry for the Hartford. but the Senate COM
mttee decided that she be used as a train
ing-ship and made an appropriation Of
$780, 600 to have her remodelod, which
stands as does the Senate appropriation
of $4,000 for repairs to the old Constitu-
ton at the Portsmouth navy-yard, so tina t
she may be used as training-ship for na-

Castine S45, 600, aud to pay the Samuel b.
Moore e. Sons Company $4,000 speed pre-
MUM on the steel practice vessel Ban

The amendment authorizing the Secre-
tary of the Navy to remit the time penal
approprating the necessary sum was al
lowed to stand. The Senate struck out of
the bill the provisions making Immediately
available so much as is necessary of the
appropriation of 81, 100000 for armor and
armament and $685., O25 for constru elton
and machinery. Its action prevailed in
the first instance, but the bill is so
amended in conference that from the sec
ond appropriation is to be paid all sDeed
premiums on new vessels earned before
January 1, 1894, speed to be based on the
official reports approved by the Secretary

GUILTY OF PERJURY.
Sensational Charges Against Three
United States Senators,

New YORK, July 49, The Herald's
Washington dispatch says: | was told
to-day that despite the denials of specula-
tors and sworn statements of Senators
who had been called before the investi-
eating committee. it could be proved that
in three instances at least speculation had
been engaged in. and that the three Sena-
tors referred to had been guilty of per-
jury.
An interesting story is told to-day
"a story so startling in its details that it
is almost past belief. l was told Of mau
here in Washington who has in his possess
sion the original brokers' contract. where
In one of the Senators, prominent one at
that, contracted to buy sugar when it was
down TO 49, just before lis phen omenal
rise. 1t was stated that interested per-
sons, shorts on sugar and who had been
squeezed" in the process of manipulating
the market or because they did not have
the in side tip, had lost an immense amount
of money and had determined 10 break
the sugar schedule at all all hazards.
The most interesting part of the story is
the way in which they intended to set this
schedule aside, and l am told it was by no
other process than the arrest of a certain
Senator on a charge of perjury. In a
criminal case of this kind, it is said, stock
brokers would be compelled to show their
books in court, and the persons back of
this scheme say they can prove, not only
by the evidence they now claim to have
but by what they could thus lay bare, that
somebody has been doing some "tall"
lying before the Investigating committee.
1t is thought that this particular Senator.
rather than submit to such proceedings,
would undo the work it is said he has
assisted in doing. and through the Influence
