A MYSTERY.
The Victim Probably Killed
for His Money.
Condition OF the Body Dispels a
Theory Of Suicide.
The Murdered Man Vas About to
Leave Milwaukee for Rochester.

MILWAUKEE, April p. 49, What will
probably prove another murder mystery
has just come to light. The VIC
tim is Henry Mosher OF Rochester,
n. Y, 20 years OF age, who left
his boarding house, with about s6l5 in his
pocket, and whose body was
picked up a few hour later
near Lakeside Park minus money and
watch. Mosher was until two days ago
the captain of the dining room walters in
a hotel in this city. He left the hotel,
and was about to go to Rochester, n. ",
to visit his parents. He had his trunk
packed, and INTENDED to leave in a day
or so.
Mosher did not talk much about his
business, but he had on Thursday drawn
80 days pay, and besides hat had $40 in
cash on his person. 1t was also said that
he had a bank account and carried the
bank book in his pocket. rNaYa
When the body was found it was
thought to be a case of suicide,
but there are hoavy bruises on the side
of the face. The only motives which
can be ascribed for the murder,
as it is now believed TO be, are that he
was killed for his money, or that some
waiter bore him q grudge.

BRITISH FLAG.
It Now Waves Over the City
of Corinto.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The British
have occupied Corinto and the British flag
has been raised over the city.
1t is the understanding at Washington
that Commander Trench, OF the Royal
Arthur, has been constituted military
governor OF Corinto. The fact
that the cable advices do
not speak of trouble is accepted
as showing that the landing OF the Brit
ish forces was peaceable and unopposed.
Reports yesterday indicated that
eight hundred N:caraguan troops
had concentrated at Cornito,
and forces from Honduras were ex-
pected. But the fact that all the Mica
raguan authorities withdrew, leav-
ing the British complete mas
tiers of the situation, indicates
that the local soldiery were not called
upon. The understanding among the
officials for several days past has
been that armed resistance would
be useless. The reports that
the Central American States would
unite to help Nicaragua make a military
defense have never been seri-
ously entertained by officials
who are thoroughly %conversant
with the situation, as they say
these countries united could not
present an armed force worthy of
mention alongside the British
forces. 1t is stated, however,
shat the evacuation of Corinto does
not mean a surrender by Nicaragua.
Her pitiful array of troops are believed to
be in the neighborhood of Corinto ready
