less panic caused by defective gas
burner and a foolish cry of fire at the
Old Front street theatre tonight,
twenty-four people We're killed, two ia

TO LEAVE CORINTO
The British Warships No Longer
Needed There.
IT HAS ALL BEEN SETTLED
offices of the United States Had an I'm
portant Bearing on Closing
tie Negotiations.

Washington. May 1.-The department
of state received this afternoon tele-
gram from Ambassador Bayard stating
that Great Britain had accepted the
guarantee made by Salvador for pay
ment of indemnity by Nicaragua in
London within a fortnight and as soon
as Nicaragua confirms it and SO in
forms the British admiral the admiral
Is instructed to leave Corinto.
1t was definitely developed when the
official announcement of the agreement
was made that the United States had
taken very important part in the ne
gotations within the last "A hours A
cablegram of instructions was sent to
Bayard yesterday laying down a posi-
tive line of action. Bayard received
those instructions so late yesterday
that they were undoubtedly communi-
Gated to the foreign office today. 1t
Is n significant coincidence therefore
that Great Britain's acceptance was
given almost Immediately after Bay
ard carried out his Instructions Prev.
ious to yesterday the compromise was
being urged by the Salvadorean minis
ter in London, but his efforts seemed
to be ineffective and there was no GER
tainty that Great Britain would agree.
1t was this doubt which led to the cable
to Bayard. He was directed to urge
the reasonableness of the compromise
proposition and to seek an early accept
ance. The results proved that his Of
fees were more effective than those Of
the Salvadorean minister
GUzMAN IS NOTIFIED.
DR.. Guzman, the Nicaraguan minister
here. received the news from the state
department late in the day. II am
much gratified at the result" said he,
but now that it is all over, 1 don't
mind saying / was quite apprehensive
up to the time the official message came
from Bayard. There is no doubt that
the affair Is at an end. as no circum-
stances can now intervene to prevent
the execution of the agreement. The
suggestion that Nicaragua has yet to
accept is a mere formality which she
has already accepted. In fact, she has
urged the agreement through her rep
resentatives But such further assur-
ances as are necessary will be given.
The payment of the money is beyond
question. Nicaragua's word is suf-
fcient. but in addition there is the as
surance of Salvador"
DR.. Guzman was asked what other
steps would be taken. There is only
one more step" said he, land that is
for the British ships to sail from Corin-
to. l expect that will occur on Satur-
day, perhaps by tomorrow"
AS the interview closed, DIR. Guzman
said: "One thing l want to emphasize
and that is my appreciation of the con
sideration shown me and my govern
ment by the state department The
kindly manner in which Secretary
Gresham and all the officials have treat
ed this subject, at time of emergency,
is source of congratula ton to me
and certainly will be to my government,
when the facts become known"

TWO BANDITS KILLED
Members Of the Dalton Gang Get
a Dose Of Cold Lead.

over Thirty Buckshot Pierced Dynamite
Dick" and Bitter Greek"
Never Fired.

Guthrie. o. T., May AT Spangle's
undertaking house in this city lie the
bodies of two of the most notorious
desperadoes of the Dalton-Doolin gang.
The dead men are George Newcomb,
alias Bitter Creek" alias slaughter
Kid" and Charley Pierce, alias "Dyna-
mite Dick"
The advent of officers with the re-
mains of the outlaws was a complete
surprise to the community, as no one
mad been apprised of the fact that the
bandits were being pursued. They were
brought in just as they were when kill
ed, in full clothes. with their boots and
spurs on and armed to the teeth. Be
sides Winchesters, each had on revol-
yer apiece and belts full of cartridges
FOR both instruments of death.
AS their clothes were cut Off their
bodies 1t was seen that Dynamite
Dick had at least 80 buckshot in him.
while Winchester balls let the life out
Oh Bitter Creek" Dynamite Dick"
was shot all over. but mostly in the
right shoulder and side, although he
had fully six shots in his stomach, and
as many in one foot. One Winchester
bullet struck "Bitter Creek" in the fore
head and tore out his brains at the
back of his head and the other hit his
hand as he was pulling the trigger.
The outlaws were killed at the SOUTH
east corner of Pawnee county. at the
house of the Dun brothers, an old rem
devious of the outlaws. They were
killed by Deputy Marshal Sam Schaf-
fer at the head of six other marshals.
The bandits went to Dun's house about
s o'clock last evening. 1t being moon
light, they were easily seen and at the
hrst fire Dynamite Dick" was killed
outright. Bitter Creek" made fight.
but two Winchester balls felled him off
his horse before he could pull the trig-
ger of mis- gun.
The two men killed are a part of the
gang that held up the Rock Island train
at Dovers some time ago. The express
companies have offered big rewards for
these outlaws. The bodies were en-
balmed and the express detectives have
been wired for.

sLusrEa OF THE ENGLISH PRESS
London Globe and St. James Gazette
Swell Up With Pride.

London, May 3.-The Globe this after
noon, commenting upon the trouble be-
tween Nicaragua and Great Britain
says:
1.-THE sharp little lesson which we had
the painful duty to infiict upon Near
aqua can not fail to be productive of
good there. Another and more power
full state has been taking a useful les
son. The American republic assumes
the post of arbitrator in all disputes be-
tween all the small states and Europe.
and what is more important, 1t shows a
disposition to interfere in those dis
putes, which is as Objectionable as II is
unasked for. The tone OF the American
press ever since the present difficulty
has reflected clearly the usual tone of
that country in those matters, though
perhaps their buster and braggadocio
on this occasion was rendered louder
because they felt there was little chance
OF being listened to. We do not wish
to heap indignity upon any state, how
ever small and insignificant. England
has never played the part of a bully,
and never will, but she must be careful
to see that her good nature is not too
much presumed upon"
The st. James Gazette, referring to
caragua bill Is backed by Salvador. 1t
would be rude to inquire too closely
into the value of guarantee. The aver
age usurer is Satisfied with second

IDENTITY OF WHITE ESTABLISHED
Missing Heir to Four Million Dollar
Estate Lived Like q Hermit

Esldte i-lNSu Like hermit.
Santa Cruz, Cal, May 2.-Chief of
Police Rawle has received letter from
S. G.. Morse, ex-sheriff of Clallam coun-
ty, saying that the latter knew Ansel
White, the missing heir to the "a 1000, 900
estate in New York for over seven years,
residing within a few miles of him,
near Port Angeles, Washington. White
died in 1888, and it was four days before
his body was found, as he lived alone.
White sold his place a year before he
died, and the money, $780, was hid, but
was never found. His body is buried in
the woods. Morse is positive that White
was the same man for whom the detec-
tives are seeking. Pioneers who knew
White in this county say that when he
left here, it was with the intention of
locating in Washington, but they. not
hearing from him, suspected he had met
with foul play.
