THE WARSHIPS SAIL
BRITISH EvAcuATE THE PORT OF
CORlNTO

And Nioaragu. viii Satisfy tho Demands
Il Great Britain-Central American
States Said to he Combining Against
English Products.
MANAaUA, May 6.-The Nicaraguan
government. having through the Sal
vadorian minister at London, accepted
the modified ultimatum Of the British
government, the dispute between the
two. countries is practically at an end.
Orders were cabled from London to
Rear Admiral Stephenson, command
ing the British squadron at Corinto,
directing him to evacuate the port Sum
day, and shortly after the flag denoting
that religious services were in progress
on board the warships was hauled
down, the marines, who had been
drawn up in front of the customhouse,
were ordered to return to their ships. A
few minutes later
The British Flag Was Hauled Down
from the government building, and
soon the soil of Nicaragua was rid of
the British invaders, and the long
strokes of the sailors were sweeping
the heavy boats to the warships lying
in the harbor. Hundreds of persons as
sembled along the shore to see the en-
barkation Of the marines, and cheer
went up as the noses of the boats
headed harborward.
The warships were soon riding at
short cables, but their departure was
delayed by the tide until afternoon. 1t
was expected that the flagship would
depart with the other two vessels Of
the fleet, but when the water was
high enough on the bar to permit the
passage of the vessels, only the Wild
Swan and the Satellite got under way
The flagship, the Royal Arthur, paid
out her cable again, and this fact was
believed to confirm report that she
would salute the Nicaraguan flag when
the government repossessed itself of
the port.
Combining Against Great Britain.
Great Britain has successfully played
the role of hawk and the furry
caused by her actions shows no sign Of
subsistence. The governments of all
the Central American states and those
Of several Of the South American
countries have telegraphed to President
Zelaya suggesting the formation Of
commercial union against the produc.
tons of Great Britain, and also against
the transportation Of Central and South
American products in British bottoms.
II such union could be definitely ar
ranged and the terms be put into force
quite severe blow would be dealt to
British trade, and eventually the Brit
ish government would find that it's
treatment Of Nicaragua had cost it a
sum Of money far in excess Of the
smart money that she demanded from
Nicaragua.

DEATH LIST REDUCED.

Fatalities From tho Iowa Storm Lass
Numerous Than at First Supposed.
Sioux CITY, Ia. May 6.-Order is
coming out of chaos in the narrow dis
trict of Sioux county. which was swept
by the tornado on Friday afternoon.
Prompt aid has made the survivors OF
the devastated country as comfortable
as possible. Nearly all the dead are
now buried, and none of the injured
now living are thought to be fatally
hurt. The Journals staff representa-.
tive, who went all over the ground
swept by the storm, says $lO,OOO will
cover the property damage, including
houses, barns, outbuildings and fences.
In few places are the crops seriously
damaged, for grain cannot be up far
enough to be killed or lodged by the
wind, and the principal injury in the
fields was by the plastering of mud
which they received. This mud

but it seems that the power of the
wind simply scooped up the black, wet
earth from the surface in several places
and distributed it over other fields.

None have died since Saturday. About
20 persons were injured in Sioux
county.

Gals of Sioux county, however, say it is

borhood are we'll able to do it. In the
whole of the territory covered by the
tornado but three farmers were renters.
All the rest were wen-to-do and some
are wealthy.

What VIII The Verdict Re2

The end 0f tie Durrant case is in sight
at last, the evidence all being in and
the argument brgun. There il not
much difference Of opinion among those
who have followed the testimony as to
Dnrrant's guilt, but there is a wide var
lance in the opinion expressed az to
there being evidence to convict him.
Tie chain Of circumstantial evidence
against him is in some respects strong
one, and yet it has the element Of weak
ness, that may leave reasonable doubt
In the minds Of the jury or some Of it's
members, as TO his guilt. We would not
be surprised II the jury disagrees, al
though as we have said our own opinion
Is that he Is guilty. Beliefs, however,
by an individual who Is not called upon
TO act, are more potent than with those
who, II they act upon them deprive a
human being Of life. The juror in a
criminal case locked in the room with
his fellows, to decide upon his oath and
his conscience, as TO whether his com
mission Of crime has been proved, be-
yond a reasonable doubt, does reach a
conclusion 80 readily or so hastily, as
the citizens whose opinions and dicis-
ions do not effect the prisoner. No
doubt the jurors, who have listened to
the testimony pelieve Dnrant gnilty,
but whether they are willing to say on
their oaths that the prosecution has
made out case that shuts out every
reasonable doubt is an entirely ditfereut
question.
