ment in raising the money hastily. That
the British admiral would be indulgent
on this point, when fully satisfied OF
the disposition of the Nicaraguans to
comply with the terms of the ultima
tum, had never been doubted by the
department.
The situation at Corinto is now re-
garded as ominous of serious trouble,
for the dispatch Indicates that the
Nicaraguans are disposed to resist any
further advance by the British. The
information reaching here ia to the
effect that the Nicaraguans may further
isolate the British at Corinto by burn
ing the bridges across the lagoon sepa-
rating the town from the mainland.
The British position is said to be very
bad from q strategic standpoint. The
town is practically on an island
being further separated from the
mainland by short stretch of
marshy ground. This is traversed By
bridges and without them Corinto is
cut off from the shore. The Nicaraguans
have retired to the shore end OF the
bridges, and those we'll informed on the
situation believe that if the British
make any movement to cross the lagoon
the bridges will be burned and the lit.
tie band of Nicaraguan troops will make
stand against further encroucbment.
There can be no doubt but that the
action of the Nicaraguan government
in declaring Corinto closed port has
seriously complicated most trouble

resort to hostilities at present it opens
the prospect of alarming events in the
future which may. and, in fact are, even

action means that no goods can now be

The British may collect duties if any

cock, who was until this epring store
keeper at the penitentiary under War
den Chase, was on the witness stand
today before the Chase investigation
committee, and told all about the trip
made by Governor Lewelling. Warden
Chase, pardoned convict and himself
to Arkansas in search of hidden trea-
sure which the convict said he could
locate. 49,
This convict's name was Geo. H.
Shonewaldt and ne was employed in
the storekeeper's department.
Mr.. Hancock said Shonewaldt told
him that if he ever became free man
be would be rich, for he knew where
gold treasure was buried. Shonewaldt
told Hancock that he wanted him to
share it with him. Mr.. Hancock said
he told the warden about this mans
story and the result was that Shone-
waldt was pardored and acted as guide
for a party OF state officials into the
wilds of Arkansas in search of the
hidden treasure which they did not
find. Shonewaldt had his pardon all
right, however.
Shonewaldt's pardon reached the PEN
itentiary two days before the party
headed by Governor Lewelling left for
| Arkansas.
| Mr.. Hancock was not anxious to tell
this story, but it was brought out little

LITTLE Rock, Ark, April 27.-Miss
Ruth Pollock, who was reported to
have eloped with Harry Hall last week,
returned home today. Mr.. Leo Pol
lock, the young lady's father, made the
following statement today relative to
the affair: my daughter informs me
that she left Pine Bluff last Monday in
obedience to telephone message from
Harry Hall. He requested her to take
the north bound cannon ball for st..
Louis, and promised to meet her there.
1t was part of the plan, and they
were to be married at st. Louis. My
daughter loved Hall and did as she was
requested. She remained in St. Louis
two days. Hall did not put in an ap-
pearance, and she returned home. OF
course | felt deeply mortified that my
daughter should act contrary to my
wishes In matter of go grave char
acter, but am convinced that she only
acted imprudently, and l have forgiven
her. Young Hall, after leaving here,
was telegraphed that the Edison Flee
tic Light people were after him, and he
therefore did not 60 to St. Lous. This
does not imply that he was short in his
accounts, but only that he was said to
have been charged with some irregular
ity. Whether this Is true or not, 1 dc
not pretend to cay. My daughter has
committed no wrong, only an indlscre.
ton, and | shall protect her."
Miss Pollock left this afternoon for
Chicago, where she will reside with her
brother.

lated to the civil part of the dispute
and after the cross examination under
this head had run its length, Douglass
by personal statement, brought out
that he had been told one day that
Wagner said he was coming to his
house and would come in, close the
door and put his back against it and
shoot Douglass to death. His infor-
mant had hardly finished his narration
before Wagner was seen coming toward
the house with a gun. Douglass got
his revolver and when Wagner came
up the witness said he was sorelv
tempted to kill him.
'If you had" said the defendant,
"you would have killed the best friend
you have on earth"
In this way the examination ran
along until the district attorney said
there was enough evidence on hand to
both settle the case and to arrive at a
determination of the civil feature of
the dispute. He advised that both
parties be put under bonds. The dis
trict attorney soon after left the court
but came back in five minutes to say
that he had since learned that Wagner
was good man to keep tab on. He
brought with him witness, no less
parsonage than Justice Kincaid, who
testified that in case before him in
which Wagner was defendant. he had
told the witness privately that he had
been so encompassed by annoyances
that he intended "to shoot his way
out" He would as lief be in Jail or be
dead as to continue under the harrass-
ing to which he had been subjected.
1t was then brought out that since
Douglass had made complaint against
him five months ago Justice Johnstone
had instead of arresting him, detailed
constable to keep surveillance upon
him. This had been done and he had
been frequently searched for deadly
weapons.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The events
OF the day in diplomatic circles here
were the landing OF the British troops
at Corinto, the abandonment OF the
town by the native officials and popu-
lation, and the shrewd move iof the
Nicaraguans in declaring Corinto a
closed port.
At noon Minister Guzman received
two kilograms from his government,
forwarded from San Juan del Sur, the
Nicaraguan cable port. The first cable
gram stated that British troops had
landed at Corinto and the British flag
was flying over the town, which had
been deserted by the Nicaraguan Off
cials and native inhabitants. The sec-
ond cablegram shows that the authori-
ties had gone to San Juan del Sur,

forces at the latter place could not COM
municate with their home government
except by sending to the cable station.
The main body of Nicaraguans who
had abandoned Corinto, have crossed
the lagoon which separated the town
from the mainland and had strongly
entrenched themselves.
This information was promptly COM
municeted to the state department,
which had never believed that Nicara-
qua would go to the length of per-
mitting the occupation of Corinto in
preference to paying the indemnity and
