Nicaragua REPLIES to Great Britain.

Washington: 1t is authoritatively
stated that Nicaragua has made a
reply to Great Britains ultimatum.
The ultimatum made three demands,
as follows: First. \ money indemnity
Of Els, 500 sterling for alleged personal
injuries to British subjects, including
British Consul Hatch. Second. Revo-
cation of the declaration of Danish
ment against British subjects. Third.
Formation of a commission TO decide
by arbitration the damage done to
property of British subjects expelled
from Nicaragua.
Nicaragua answer is in two parts.
To the second demand it says that
Nicaragua even before receiving the
British communication, had revoked
the decree of Punishment. To the
first and third demands, the answer is
that in order to preserve the friendly
relations with her majesty's govern
ment, and for the purposes Of fairness
and justice, Nicaragua proposes that
all questions of payment for personal
injury, injury to property, etc, be re-
ferred to an impartial commission of
arbitration. The foregoing is regarded
rs a most diplomatic answer, as it con-
cedes Nicaragua willingness to adj
just the differences, and yet courte-
ously suggests that the el5,500 de-
mand is an ex-parte estimate and that
the whole question of amount of dam
ages should be left TO arbitration.

Atrocious Murder of Two girls.

The Emanuel Baptist church at San
Francisco has been the scene of two of
the most atrocious murders ever COM
mitted in the state. The mutilated
and murdered body of Minnie Williams
was found in the library of the editice,
and the day following the nude body
of Blanche Lamont was found in the
tower of the same church. The same
hand, the authorities believe, slew
both girls, and w. ii. T. Durant, the
young man suspected of both crimes,
is now in custody.
Blanche Lamont and Minnie Will
Jams were members of the Emanuel
church and members of the Sunday
school class. They were both 81 years
old, brunettes and pretty and modest
girls. Both had been the recipient of
attentions from Durant, who is a
young medical student and also the
librarian of the church, and the secre-
tary of the Young Peoples society of
the church. The theory of the police
is that Durant has a mania something
like Jack the Ripper displayed In
Whitechapel, London.

board. Engine is broken and we are all lost
Are near enough to land to see the shore II IT
was not showing.
Mr.. Graham thinks that it is worthy
of belief This goes far to prove the
statement of a man named Plummer
of South Haven, who stated that he
saw the Chicora near that port on the
afternoon of Jan. 2l, and it will be
proved that the Chicora was only lost
by the breaking of her machinery or
losing the stearing gear. Her hull in
that case is undoubtedly near shore,
and search will begin for it at once.
