SHIPS NEEDED AT BLUEFIELps.
Story Told of Affairs There By
Missionary,

New York, May 9.-Captain Hanson,
from Bluefields, reports that the
United States ship San Francisco and
the British man-of-war Magicienne
We're in port when he sailed. The Mica
raguan troops We're in the city and
the government was rapidly building
a fort on the bluff
On board the john Wilson was Rev.
Anton Arbeiter, missionary en- route
to Germany. Mr.. Arbeiter says that
so long as the United States and
British war ships remain on the coast,
the people of Blueields will be safe
from Nicaraguan persecution, but
should the ships be removed or under
Nfcaraguans out of the reserva ton the
worst is feared.
II was assured said Mr.. FArbeiter,
by parties who could not be misin-
formed, that positive orders had been
given the Nicara guam soldiers to set fire
to the town of Bluefelds if they are
compelled to evacuate it, no matter
which country enforces the evacuation
or should England and America act
together
THE president, knowing that Nicara-
guans feel that this will be the result
if the latter cannot obtain what they
proposed Ito hold Biuefields for the
revenues to be obtained there), they
will destroy it. They are jealous of its
growth over the port of Greytown. BY
the treaty Greytown was to be a free
port, but despite the treaty the
Nicaraguans have been raising duties
and portages from year to year, until
they have become almost prohibitory
and the business of GreytoWn has been
nearly destroyed.
THE soldiers who took possession OF
the town hall and occupied it as d
barracks, destroyed its interior as they
did the books and other property il
contained. The towns people, most OF
whom are Americans, are overawed be-
cause, it is futile for them to do any
thing against an organized body like
the soldiery and their only protection
is in the strength of England and the
United States, and their insisting or
their carrying out the treaty, which
gives the Mosquitoes their own govern.

one of the most determined mobs that

OF Charles Garley. committed one week
ago. The news of the double lynching
reached the outer world for the first time
today The crime which led up to the
hanging was cruel and revolving.
About a week ago, Charles Garley, a
scn-in-law of William Mckinley, was
murdered An investigation revealed the
fact that Fred, the 17-year-old son of
Mckinley senior, committed the crime.
The boy when arrested made confession.
stating that he had been induced to kill
his brother-in-laW by his father and older
brother, Lewis. The motive for the MUIR
der seems principally revenge and hatred.
The murdered man, only a few weeks be-
fore, married McKinlsys daughter. 1t
had been stipulated before the marriage
that til the groom was TO pay the brides
pa 500 for the privilege of marrying
The groom refused to pay this money
after he was married, and thus incurred
the enm1ty of his wife's father and broth

The boy surprised Garley while asleep,
cutting him horribly with a garden hoe.
He was found dead and horribly mutilaI-
ed. On Monday the three were arraigned
in court, where Fred pleaded guilty as
charged, but his father and Lewis pleaded
not guilty waived trial and were placed
in the county Jail.
Late Monday night, mob of several
hundred men took the father and son TO
a railroad bridge about a half mile west
of town, and lynched them. They both
begged piteOusly for mercy Fred would
probably have been hanged with the others
but instead of taking him to the Jail, he
was kept under guard in the hotel.
The people of the county are aroused at
the disposition juries have shown to turn
criminals loose. and say they intend jus
tice shall be done in some manner if not
by the proper course of law.

PARKER IS NoT BRANDT.
Identification by a Clerk of the
Cook County Jail.


Cook County Jail.
New York, May 9.-In the Meyer trial
today Professor Dormus was under cross
examination and admitted that he did
not see any evidences of poisoning in the
viscera taken from Baums body
Russell H. Chittenden was then called
He is professor of physiological chenis-
try at Yale He found arsenic and anti
mony in the kidneys, but would not
swear they had existed in the living body
The case was adjourned until tomorrow
Assistant District Attorney Mcintyre
received a letter this morning in regard
to the trial. 1t was sent by BENJAMIN
J. Price, chief clerk of the Cook county
Jail, Chicago, and was in substance as
follows:
Il know most of the persons connected
with the Meyer case, and if you can get
Mrs. Meyer to turn states evidence, I
think you will hear some startling testi-
mony. She is paying for Meyers de-
Tense.
''Perhaps you can find a man by the
name of Brett. His wife was an intend
ed victim. Mr.. Meyer was going to take
his wife to Colorado. but there was so
much talk about it that he did not do
it.
Both Brandt and Parker have served
terms here. They are two distinct men.
Parker is not Brandt, as 1 understand he
is going to testify on the stand. G. A
Atkins has also been here under several
different names.

OFFICERS sLUGGING MATCH.
Nancy Creates Another Sensation Mt
Fort Sheridan

Chicago, May 9.--Lieutenant James
Nancy. recently acquitted on the charge of
numbering Captain Hedberg, has furnished
Fort Sheridan with another sensation.
The story current tonight is that since
the shooting of Hedberg there has been
much ill-feeling between Nancy and Major
Baldwin, of the Seventh cavalry.
Nancy at last called at Major Bald
wins quarters for an explanation.
I have called TO see you, major" he
have heard you have made about me in
relation to the Hedberg affair."
'YesJ& said the major, interrogatively
Yes. sir" continued the lieutenant.
L understand you have expressed the
opinion that the killing of Hedberg was
a cold-blooded murder and have advised
my ostracism by the officers of the
Every word of it, was Major Bald
here 1 will tell you to your fact 1 think
you were in bad luck when you were
acquitted"
Some versions are that the lieutenant's
right hand sought his hip pocket in
search of his gun, while others say that
the lieutenant was not armed.
In any event, Baldwin landed vigorous
ly with his right and followed up the
blow with a swing that knocked the
lieutenant in a heap.
He was game, however, and getting uD
quickly landed upper cuts with science
and precision.
But Major BALDWIN was pug1l1Stically
the better man, and after a short sharp
struggle clinched with his adversary,
choking him into submission and pitched
him out doors.
Lieutenant Nancy failed to materialize
at inspection today and the story leaked
out despite the efforts of the officers, to
maintain secrecy.
He was found in close communication
with raw beef stakes and bandages, but
refused to talk about the affair.
A possible court martial is limited, but
it is not thought that the lieutenant will
prefer charges.

Washington, D. c., May 9.-ISpeciall
Within a few days, Delegate Rawlins
is promised recognition by Speaker
Crisp to call up the bill opening to set
Element the Uncompahgre and Uintah
reservations.
Chairman Savers, of the appropria-
lions committee, has been somewhat
opposed to the measure because the
indian bureau estimated it would re-
ouire fully 100000 to carry out the
provisions OF the bill, including sur
veys. etc The estimates were placed
higher than there was any necessity
for in his opinion, but now Savers is
reconciled and promises to make no
objection.
Other members who have been
doubtful about opening the reserva-
ton are coming around all right, and
as the proposition has the approval of
/. Secretary Smith, and Rawlins has laid
all his plans well, it is believed the
measure will be passed as soon as
reached.
~ The matter is considered a generally
Important one, because, in addition to
the value to the people if thrown open
to settlement of such large tracts of
good land, other considerations de-
mand action. Some members have
been under the impression that there
is a scheme behind the movement be-
cause of the asphalt beds. but those
impressions have been removed Also
and all indications point to the pas
sage of the bill shortly.
For Additional Justices.
Rawlins' bill providing for three adj
ditional associate justices for the SUI
preme court of Utah, has been re-
ferred to the Judiciary committee, and
will soon be considered, with the
chances of an early favorable report.
The court, as at present constituted,
cannot dispose of the business with
dispatch, and lawyers and others in
the territory, by letters and petitions,
have asked for this legislation.
Even if the Utah statehood bill is
passed at this session or next, it will
be a long time before the state is ad-
mitted, and additional justices are
badly needed. So far, no opposition
TO the proposition is heard.
The Senate has confirmed Judge Du-
senberry, probate judge, Utah county.
Mr. Richard W. Young. who has
tgeen here several days, left tonight
for Salt Lake. but will stop at st.
Louis and Denver en- route.

Secretary Gresham Reviews the Re-
suits of Our Relations.
Washington, May 9.-The president
today submitted to the Senate the cor
respondence relative to Samoa, called
for by Senator Gray's resolution of
the 9Th ult.
The corresponds is very volumin-
Gus, covering about 10000 pages.
In submitting it to the president,
Secretary Gresham has taken the OPP
portunity to set out at length his con-
clIsions as TO the workings Of the tri-
Sartite agreement. This letter of the
secretary is certain to give rise to much
discussion and controversy.
A period of almost five years having
elapsed since the conclusion of the gen
eral act of Berlin, the present occa-
sion is, the secretary says, not map
propriate for a review of the results.
Our Relations with Samoa.
In order that the subject may be
fully comprehended, he presents a gen.
eraI survey of our relations to Samoa,
before and since the conclusion of the
general act, and recites the policy we
have pursued toward the island. 1t is
in our relations to Samoa that we have
made the first departure from our ira
ditional and well-esta blished policy of
avoiding ertangling alliances for for
eign powers in relation TO objects re-
mote from this hemisphere. Like all
other human transactions, the wisdom
of that departure must be tested by its
fruits. If there be no evidence of detri-
nent suffered before its application, or
Of advantages since gained, we are con-
fronted with the serious responsibility
of having, without sufficient grounds,
imposed a policy which is not only
ceeval with our government, but which
may in a great measure be ascribed
the peace, prosperity, and the general
influence of the United States.
In 1873, special agent, named Strin-
berger, was sent to the islands by the
secretary of state, for the express pur-
pose of obtaining information in regard
to their conditions. This step seems to

TO CAPTURE AN ISLAND.
to Force Claims Mt the Cam
mons Points.


San Francisco, May 9-What is said
to be a bold attempt to capture an
island has been brought to light by a
suit filed in the superior court by the
Oceanic Phosphate company. The lat
ter people claim that F. W. Permien
and William Johnson are organizing an
expedition to go to Clipperton island
and sieze the same by force of arms
under the apparent authority of prior
claim. The land in question is little
more than big rock in the north
Pacific, but it is covered by a rich
guano deposit, which makes it very
valuable. There is said to be $4,000 tons
in sight. which is estimated to be worth
$3.50 a ton.
John Magee, manager of the Oceanic
Phosphate company, said this morning
that it had been discovered that Per-
mien, Johnson and others had chartered
the schooner Star of Freedom, which
they are fitting out for a trading voy-
age ostensibly. '@They are going down
to attempt to take the island by force
of arms said Mr.. MCGEE, 'tbut think
that we have put a stop to it. They
claimed that they have some prior
right. If the courts do not stop them
we Will endeavor to do SC. ourselves
Should the courts not grant the in
junction prayed for, it is said that if
the cnarterers of the Star of Freedom
attempt to take Clipperton island by
force, somebody will be hurt. The
Oceanic Phosphate company heard of
the intended expedition before their
own schooner, the Volante, sailed
While the company will say nothing
about the matter, it is known that the
schooner took away considerable arms
and ammunition. There are nine men
on the island, and when the men on the
schooner are added to this number
there will be twenty-four in all, ready
to do battle with the force that the
Star of Freedom may carry.

Troppaux, Austria, May 9.-Miners
made a desperate attack today upon a

a colliery in Polish Ostrau, with the
object of driving away the men at
work. The rioters were warned to
dispense, but instead of doing so, they
began pelting the officers with stones,
wounding many.
Finally the leaders persuaded the
strikers to rush upon the police. The
gems d'armes, after a last warning,
opened fire upon the rioters, killing
nine and wounding twenty others. The
mob then fed in all directions, threat
ening, however, to return in larger
numbers and avenge the death of
their comrades.

More Sensational Evidence in the

Indianapolis, May 9.-Charles r. Clarke
and John NJ Tufts. of New York. and
Thomas Pierce, of Boston, were the wit
nesses today in the bank wrecking cases.
These men were employed in the Indiana

bank was wrecked and the New York and
Boston branches were sold them by the
defendants the day before the concern
went into the hands of a receiver, in or
der to get the property out of the hands
of the defendants. Notes were given for
the purchase money and the notes were
sold at auction in New York and
bought in for a trihe by relatives of the
Collins, who were stockholders in the
cabinet company.
The fraud of the transactions was
shown up by the government in clear,
notwithstanding the rigid cross-examina-
ton by Northumberland Miller and
other attorneys for the defense. Tt IS
thought the government will complete lis
case this week when the defense will be
given an opportunity to show what it

from the bank,
