WILL PUSH WADLER'S CASE.

Washington, April 2S-Ex- Congress-
man John NJ. Langston, the attorney of
eX-Consul Waller, who is now imprisoned
at st. Pierre by the French, is deter
mined to push the case with all the power
he possesses.
I'm the first place." said he, ''we pro-
pose to maintain the concessions obtained
by Mr.. Waller in Madagascar. The
whole purpose of the prosecution and per-
secution of Waller by the French govern
ment was to despoi him of the concessions
he procured. The French government
qrealized the concessions are of immense
value. Then we intend to force the
French government to pay Waller an in
demnity commensurate with the persecu,
tion he has undergone. He was given Il
mock trial. was threatened and finally con
veyed in irons to France, where he lies
in prison awaiting a civil trial"
Mr.. Langston said the amount of inGcm-
nifty to be asked will be determined after
he had communicated with Waller. Mr..
Langston is entirely satisfied with the
course of the state department which, he
said, had called for thorough investiga-
ton of and report on the case by Minister
Eustis. at Paris and the consul at Tama-
tave, Madagascar. As soon as these are
received, if they are shown to bear out

NEWS IN LONDON.

London. April 2S.-The following semi
official notice was issued this evening:
Up to now nothing has been received
regarding the course of events in Nicara-
qua. No notification has been received
of the landing of the blue jackets, us stat
ed in the press dispatches. The lack of
information is believed to be due to the
fact that the telegraph line has been cut.
Up to this evening the admiralty is with
out information. No anxiety is felt as
to the outcome of Earl Kimberly's atti-
tude. There is not the slightest doubt
but that Nicaragua will accede to the
British demands. Whatever may be the
pressure necessary to bring about this
result the government will not hesitate
to apply. The Observer says that it is
possible that some Englishmen feel regret
that we have been forced to take stringent
measures against remote little govern
ment. The only consolation we have is
that we could not help ourselves.

HAS HAT RIGHT

Washington, April 2S.-In speaking of
the action of Nicaragua in closing Co
rinto, Senator Morgan said:
"Nicaragua's right to close the port is
undoubted. Every nation has the power
to designate ports of entry and to change
them at will. TO land goods at COrinto
while it is closed would be smuggling and
the payment of duties to the British au-
thorities would not alter the facts. As
soon as the goods were taken into the in
terror the Nicaraguan forces would seize
them and cOnfiscate them, or compel the
payment of fresh duties and would be
perfectly justified in doing so.
"By her action Nicaragua has
deprived Great Britain of the power
to obtain at Corinto the indemnity she
demands. If another port be seized
Nicaragua can close that also or repeal
her entire tariff law and allow all goods
to enter free of duty. She could also de-
clare an embargo on imports from all ma.
tions except those whose goods she is de
barred by treaty from excluding She
could not exclude our goods because our
treaty with her prevents it, but she could
exclude Great Britain's because the lat.
ter has made war on her and thus abro-
gated all treaties between them"

Tuesday came at last, and the young
officer managed to worry through the

he walked along the barren, cactus bor.

deavoring to shorten the hours until the
time appointed. Turning to retrace his
steps, he had walked but a short dis
tance when he heard the rapid galloping

their last interview that, her happiness

Teresa would find it impossible to keep

dependency.
Within the house, in the sala, Teresa
and Ortega were standing in curtained
recess before window which looked
into the placita. The young man was
urging with all the eloquence of love
and passion an early day for their union.
Teresa responded by saying that she
could not give him promise that even
